BONE FOOD

Soft and crooked bones mean
bad feeding. Call the disease
rickets if you want to. The
growing child must eat the
right food for growth. Bones
must have bone food, blood
must have blood food and so
on through the list.
SCOTS Emulsion is the right
treatment for soft bones in
children. Littled doses everyday
give the stiffness and shape
that healthy bones should have.
Bow legs become straighter,
loose joints grow stronger and
frmness comes to the soft
heads.
Wrong food caused the
trouble. Rightfood will cure it.
In thousands of cases SCOTS
Emulsion has proven to be the
right food for soft bones in
childhood.

SOUNDS the alarm. You can hear him
squall a quarter OF a mile, and he ar
ticulates the word snake as plainly
as can. He will hop about on a limb
and yell snake snaker in such o
thrill, excited voice that pretty soon
others OF his tribe hasten 10 the scene,
and oil join in giving the alarm. All
other birds, hearing this warning cry,
fly away. but the blue jay splits his
throat with cries until the enemy has
disappeared.
"A snake once caught blue Jay by
charming him. The jay yelled 'Snakei
snake at the top Of his voice. Several
hundred blue jays flew 10 his rescue
and pecked fhe snakes eyes out, and
literally picked him to pieces, thus saw
ing the life Of their companion. Ever
since that time the blue jay, upon see
ing a snake, gives the alarm and all
blue jays within hearing will hasten
TO the scent and lend their voices 10
the warning. This may sound incred-
ulous, hut it's true. said the narrator
in conclusion. Not at all, but it's q
good story to forget under the cir
cumstauces," added the nervous young
man, who at once proposed the con
sideration Of the relation Of the jocund

REVIVING YOUNG TREES.
A Hint from Australia which Might
lie Tried with Success in the
United states.

When young trees have been out
of the ground a few days, either ga
transit from the nursery or other
wise, and not properly cared for, the
bark becomes shrunken; and, al
though the roots may be in tolerably
good condition, there is great danger
that the tree may die after it is
planted. This may be prevented by
burying the trees wholly for a few
days. TO do this, dig a trench as
wide as the tree is high, and about
eight inches deep at one end and 16
inches deep at the other, and long
enough TO hold all the trees TO be
buried, when laid in the trench, five
or six trees on the top of one an
other. Place the trees in the trench
with the roots at the deep end Of
it, laying them straight and packing
them closely together. But do not
pile them up above the level of the
ground. Now cover the trees, tops
and roots with IL inchs TO Is inches
of earth. II the ground be very dry,
few buckets of water should be
slowly sprinklcd over the soil after
the trees are buried. In four or
five days they must be taken out, and
transplanted Immediately; care be-
ing taken to cut back the tops. We
have known trees thus buried when
taken from the pit TO look as fresh
as when dug at the nursery-Aus-
tralian Country Journal.

BLUE JAYS HUNT SNAKES.
The Birds Have Very strong An
tipathy Toward All Venom
Gus Reptiles.

1t is commonly supposed that all
birds, at least those of the small spe-
cies, fall easy victims to snakes. There
are stories innumerable Of the manner
In which the reptiles charm the feath-
cred creatures and end by swallowing
them at a gulp. But there is one bird
that is not susceptible to the fascina-
ton Of his snakeship's eye, and that
is the common blue jay, found in the
woods all over the United States, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
A gentleman who has lived for many
years in the country asserts positively
that the blue Jay can speak at least
one word as plainly as human being
and that word is snake" "When a
boy, he said recently, IL killed many
snakes that would have escaped but
