DOCClE WOULD NOT FIGHT
Philadelphia Kitten Is Disguised Be-
cause Plaster Canine Did Not
Resent Attack.

Ii was all very amusing TO a large
crowd Of spectators, but at the same
time the principal character in the lit
tie comedy didn't enjoy it one bit. The
scene was laid in the window OF an Itai-
ian plaster statuary store in Philadel-
phia and the main actor-or rather
actress-was a little kitten. The kit
ten made its first appearance in the
window of the store n afternoon and
proceeded to form An investigation com-
mittee of one for the purpose of finding
out Just what there was in the window
to play with. Clay busts of Napoleon
and Shakespeare were passed by with
a look of disdain, but finally, when the
little kitten had almost decided to visit
other parts of the establishment, the
proprietor placed a plaster dog in the
window. The kitten at once became in
terested in the newcomer. At first she
advanced slowly toward the enemy,
stopping every once in awhile to look for
a move on the part of the dog. But that
bogus animal never moved. The kitten
became holder and, walking up to the
dog. gave it a look of infinite contempt.
Still the dog remained motionless and
silent. Then the kitten lifted its fore
paw and hit the plaster cast a blow in
the face. The dog moved. By
this time a large crowd had gathered al
the window and they were enjoying the
performance immensely. Several times
the kitten tried to excite the dog to ac-
ton, but at last gave It up and walked
away. And the last look that the kitten
gave that dog would have shot envy
into the heart of the most pronounced
cynic the world ever knew.-Golden

creeper, or woodbine, has five leaves
and the ivy but three.
Children should be early taught to
tell the harmless woodbine from the

The ivy has but three leaves. The
older leaves are buntly notched and
the young leaves have smooth edges.
The poison oak, or poison sumach,

FOOD
Some Very Fine Results Follow.

The wrong kind of food will put the
body in such a diseased condition that
no medicines will cure it. There is no
way but to change food. A mar in Mo.

from my stomach, but two physicians

when I had studied up on food and
learned what might be expected from

when the Horses Are Tired.

People easily take cold when a cold
draft Of air is allowed to blow over
a sweaty surface, that is, a surface that
is both warm and moist. The over
heated horse must receive attention as
soon as his hard exercise is at an end.
1t may seem a hardship to blanket him
when he is already hot, but this will
be a kindness and will prevent other
suffering, as it will permit him to cool
off gradually.

Securing Runaway Swarms,

When large apiaries of Italian bees
are kept, it is essential hat all blacks
and hybrids within a radius of a mile
be disposed of, if the swarms are to
be kept pure. 1t is often a nuisance to
hive stray swarms, but an apiarist
must do this in order to protect his
stock. A. 1. Root, a large beekeeper
of Ohio, sends a man on a bicycle to
hive all stray swarms which are re-
ported to him. The man carries a pair
of pruning shears. small smoker, bee
veil, gloves and burlap sack, in which
to place the bees. The sack can usually
be slipped around the bees and the
mouth of it tied before the limb is cut.
The bees are then carried off in the
sack and placed in a hive.

Changing the Sheep Pasture.

The sheep pasture must be some-
times given a rest from sheep on ac-
count of the deposit of the eggs of in
testinal worms of sheep. In some old
pastures these eggs are said to be
spread by the millions. This is par
ticuiarly dangerous ground to be fed
over by young lambs. The man that
has more than one pasture will find
himself in an advantageous position

Never feed damaged grain.

Never feed damaged grain.
Large, uniform eggs hold customers.
Green bone will not take the place OF
grit.
Kafir corn is an excellent wheat SUBJ
stitute.
The honest poultryman is not afraid
to date the eggs he sends out.
A hens profitable laying seems to
be limited to the first two years of her
life.
Oyster shell should always be placed
before the fowls. 1t furnishes consid-
cradle lime, invaluable for the manu-
facture of eggs. But oyster shell will
never do as a substitute for grit; it is
too soft.
The laying hen is a more hearty
eater and a heavier drinker than the
one not laying, but it is seldom that
her food makes her overfat, as she has
a double use for it-she uses it for sus-
tanning the tissues of the body and for
manufacturing eggs.-American Poul-
