The Periods of Growth.

Children born between September
and February are, some authorities
state, not as tall as those born in sum
mer and spring months, and the growth
of children is much more rapid from
March till August. The extremities
grow rapidly up to the sixteenth year;
then there is slow growth until the
thirtieth year. The legs chiefly grow
between the tenth and seventeenth
years. Comparing the general results,
it appears that there are six periods of
growth. The first extends up to the
sixth or eighth year and is one Of very
rapid growth; the second period, from
eleven to fourteen years, growth is
slow; the third period, from sixteen to
seventeen; the fourth period shows a
slow growth up to the age of thirty for
height, up to fifty for chest girth; the
fifth period is one of rest, the sixth a
decrease in the body.

THE TRUE VAMPIRE.
An Experience With the Blood Suck
ing Animal In India

CHANGING one evening to observe q
rather large bat enter an clubhouse from
which there was no other egress than
by the doorway, | was fortunate in be-
ing able to procure light and thus to
proceed to the capture of the animal.
Upon finding itself pursued it took
three or four turns around the apart
ment, when down dropped what at the
moment | supposed to be Its young and
which | deposited in my handkerchief.
After a somewhat tedious chase / then
secured the object of my pursuit, which
proved to be a fine female megaderma.
[ then looked to the other bat which l
had picked up and to my considerable
surprise found it to be a small kind of
pipistrelle, which is exceedingly abun-
dant throughout India.
The individual now referred to was
feeble from loss of blood, which 1T was
evident the megaderma had been suck
ing from a large and still bleeding
wound under and behind the ear, and
the very obviously suctorial form Of
the mouth of the megaderma was itself
sufficient to hint the strong probability
of such being the case During the
very short time that elapsed before
entered the clubhouse 1T did not appear
that the depredator had once alighted,
and am satisfied that it sucked the
vital fluid from it's victim as it flew,
having probably seized it on the wing,
and that it was seeking quiet nook
where it might deEour the body at
leisure.
l kept both animals separate till next
morning, when, procuring convenient
cage, first put in the megaderma, and
after observing it for some time
placed the pipistrelle with it. No SOON
er was the latter perceived than the
other fastened upon it with the ferocity
of tiger, again selling it behind the
ear, and made several efforts to fly off
with 1t; but, finding 1t must needs stay
within the precincts Of the cage, it soon
hung by the hind legs to one side Of it's
prison and after sucking it's victim till
no more blood was left commenced de-
vouring it and soon left nothing but the
head and some portions of the limbs

POULTRY POINTERS.

Everything in the poultry house
should be dry.
Ducks will not thrive on sloppy food
nor on cornmeal alone.
Boiled potatoes, turnips and other
vegetables may be fed to ducks to ad-
vantage.
A good food for fattening fowls can
be made by mixing cornmeal with
mashed potatoes and milk.
In dry picking poultry the picking
must be done while the fowl is warm
as soon as possible after the fowl is
killed.
The nests should never be fastened to
the poultry house in such way that
they cannot be readily removed and
cleaned.
Fowls are very fond of raw vegeta-

A Roman Cure For Consumption.


CELSIUS was Roman physician who
f1ourished in the third century. He
was a follower of Hippocrates and
wrote various books on medicine. One
of his prescriptions is for consumption
and, strange enough, it Is quite in ac-
cord with modern methods in some re-
spects: He says: GAS soon as a man
finds himself splitting and hacking on
rising in the morning he should imme-
diately take possession Of a COW and
go high up into the mountains and live
on the fruit of that cow" Although
he knew nothing of the cause Of phthi-
sis, he had observed that good living,
out of door life, lots Of sunshine and an
abundance OF milk and cream were alb
solutely essential as prerequisites for
reatment.-Journal of Hygiene.

long were among his close associates
and friends and who are always glad
to have them make visit to the
town.
Peterson & johnson the proprietors
of one of the big general stores in
Elkhorn, went to Keokuk Sunday to
be there the first of the week to pur-
chase their big line of spring goods
that they will have on their shelves
in couple of weeks.
Prof. Nelson's horse took lively
spin around among the college barns
and sheds last Saturday but did no
damage only to the top on his sleigh.
He had hitched to the sleigh and
left the horse out in front and went
in to inform Mrs. Nelson that he was
ready. just then the horse frighten-
ed and ran.
Nels Jensen had number of teams
to haul his household goods to Audu-
bon Monday and they will soon be
established in their new home on
market street. 1t was with regret
that the people of Elkhorn and vi
entity noted their departure from
their midst and the best wishes of all
attend their every venture in the fut-
ure.
At a meeting of the creamery asso-
citation at Kimballton last week it
was decided that they would con-
struct new creamery across the road
south of the old site. Tt will be
built of brick and have all the modern
improvements that go to help make
the highest grade Of butter that en-
ables their patrons to receive the
highest price for their butter fat.
The two year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John johnson south of Elkhorn,
was buried last Saturday in the
cemetery at that place. The little
one had been sick and they thought
that the strength would again return
to him, but in this they were dis
appointed for the little fellow will
no longer smile and COO to them, its
little hands will no longer wave a
welcome to its fond parents.
Martin Nelson over toward Extra,
was one of the first among the
students who had to quit college.
He finds he must prepare for spring
work on the farm and is thus pre-
pairing for it,. Several more will
have to quitso Nevertheless their
schooling will be a benefit to them
as it has made them closer applicants
to their books and reading and they
have learned great many useful
lessons.
Faaborg & Hansen moved their
stock of goods from Audubon Mon
day and now have them in the j. F..
Jensen store in Kimballton and are
getting them ready to put on the
shelves. This firm is not unknown
to the community as Geo. Faaborg
has been a resident of this town
where he and Chris Heigaard con-
Quoted store. Mr.. Hansen too is
we'll known as he has been in the
community for some time. They
expect to keep everything in a
general store and ask for a share of
the business.
Thorvald Rasmussen and Anna
Moulgaard were married Wednesday
in Kimballton. The groom is one
of the best young farmers in
the community. He is honest,
straight forward and industrious
and the owner Of a farm on
which they will make their home.
The bride is we'll and favorably
known in and around Kimballton.
She ran dressmaking parlor in
Kimballton for time and had good
and lucrative business. All the
friends of the contracting parties
wish them long and happy lite.

The Dog.

Man is the best friend Of the dog.
Horses come next, but between the dog
and all other farm animals, from the
house cat to the COW and the beef steer,
there seems to be natural enmity.
Dogs, however, are fond Of sheep and
goats, but as diet, not as living friends
Cows and sheep and goats should be
kept as free from association with dogs
as is possible, with the exception Of the
trained shepherd dog. dog walking
through a cowpen will often cause
decrease in milk flow that amounts to
more than the cash value of the dog.
Many dogs are worth considerably less
than nothing.
