An officer who came in declares that

vessels engaged in a fight. but they
were too far off to distinguish them.
General KuroSi has begun to retire,

Old Roman Hairpins.

That deadly implement, the hatpin of
modern times, is a descendant of an
equally formidable toilet article used
by Roman women. The Aspasias and
Julias and Claudias who decked them
selves a couple Of thousand years or
more ago, to the undoing of the par
ticular Balbus or Marcus they desired
to fascinate, wore bone hairpins Of
prodigious length. Yet, like the wo-
men of this present time, they seem to
have experienced the same difficulty in
keeping them in place. This fact came
to light during excavations at Silches-
ter, near Reading. England, hundred
or so Of these bone hairpins being
found in the Roman bath, collected
maybe by the bath attendant, to prove
all these centuries later that there is
nothing new under the sun and that in
all ages the same little foibles have
been possessed by women.

the pens to give way and at the lemons

fastened together at the ends by bolts

longer. To prevent the ends of rails
from splitting we put in twelvepenny

would be better.

If one wishes to use these houses in

THE BIRDS SONG.

Organ In the Syrin1.

1t Is Produced by Unique Voice
Organ In the SyrinX.
Birds have no vocal chords in the
larynX, but they possess a unique voice
organ in the syrinx, which is provided
with what are really vocal chords of u
very effective and complicated kind.
This syrinX lies in the lower part Of
the windpipe and the upper part of the
branching bronchi, but varies much in
its exact position and details of struc-
ture in different birds.
Briefly it consists of a varying num-
Der of muscles, as many as from five
to seven being found in the best song
sters, attached to folds of membrane
and the bony half rings, which at this
part of the throat form a sort Of en-
larged Adams apple.
DiStinctness OF the several muscles
and the mode Of their insertion indi-
cate a birds musical capability. The
syrinx of the skylark and nightingale,
for instance, is a marvel of adjusted
muscle and membrane, while, on the
other hand, the ostrich and some vul-
lures have no voice organ, the pigeon
has but little to show, and the common
fowl has no muscles to modulate its

OH 40 not Cpasteurize my cream for the
reason that I. IS we'll as any other
private dairynan, can have conditions
such as will keep the undesirable bac-
terra (that is a genteei name for dirt
out of my cream, says L. w. Lightly in
National Stockman. To tell just when
the cream has attained the proper de-
gree of acidity or ripeness we may use
the acid test. but the practical butter
maker soon learns to tell by the sense
of smell and sight so accurately that
no test is needed to secure uniformity,
and yet it is we'll to test occasionally
to keep tab on the accuracy Of our
noses and eyes. With the Harrington
alkaline tablets and a graduated glass
cylinder to measure the cream and
solution the test for acid is easily
made.
The art of telling when cream is in
the best condition for churning can
only be acquired by practice. Look at
the cream and it has a satiny gloss;
move the paddle and it has heavy,
smooth feel; lift the paddle out and it
is covered uniformly with a smooth
layer of cream and will not run off in
streaks, but uniformly like sirup, and
as the large drops of cream fall into
the cream vat they leave deep dents
In the cream which will remain for a
moment.
The ripening process develops the
characteristic favor and aroma in the
butter and the best butter can only
be made when conditions are correct.
During the ripening process the cream
should be stirred frequently, and all
should be ripened in one vessel to Sc
cure uniformity; otherwise we are like
~ to lose a great deal of the butter
fat in the buttermilk. because cream
of different degrees of ripeness will
require different lengths Of time for
churn;ng.

THROWING THE DICE.
The Ancient Germans Were Furious
Gamblers at This Game.


The invention of dice has been OF old
ascribed to Palamedes, the son of
Nauplius, king Of EubOea, about 1914
B. c., and also to a Greek soldier NAM
ed Alea, which is the Latin for a die,
but Herodotus assigns both dice and
chess to the Lydians.
The ancient Germans would gamble
away at dice all that they were worth
and then their liberty, submitting to
slavery if they lost, and the SaXons,
Danes and Normans were all addicted
to the game. Fox Talbot is of opin-
ion that the Latins invented, if not
the game, at least the name for the
single point, which they called unus.
The Germanic races, adopting this
practice from the Greeks, translated
the Greek corruption Of unus into ass,
which has now become ace. The root
of this word lies in the Latin as, the
monetary unit
John of Salisbury in the twelfth
century mentions ten different uses Of
the dice. Stow mentions two enter
tainmentS given by the city of London
at which dice were in evidence.-Lon-

The pig house here shown, OF which

Breeders Gazette, is joined together
with tenon and mOrtise and draw pin.
By removing the pin and lifting off the
roof the four sides are easily handled

in describing these houses said:
We have used these for narrowing
pens and located them in lots or fields
where most convenient for feeding anc
allowing the sows and pigs access to
grass. The pens have proved comfort
able and convenient, and by white
washing the inside before setting the
pen up for a new litter every family

The upper rails of the framework
are by and are placed thirty inches
from the ground in the rear and thirty

front rail in right position to hang the
drop door, which is one foot wide and
four feet four inches long and when
open still leaves room for the SOW to
pass. The lower rails are 2 by 4, and
the rear rail is eight inches from the
ground, which keeps it dry and acts
also as q guard rail to protect the pigs.
The front lower rail is three inches
from the ground to give room for q

Cheap Cheese.
One Of the ineXplicable things to me
is why people will go bowling about
the beef trust, which seems to have no
effect, when cheese is SO cheap that
thousands Of boxes Of last years make
axe still in stock, says II. e. Cook in
National Stockman. The average
amount of solid dry matter in beef is
33 per cent, not all digestible. The
average solid matter IN cheese is just
twice this amount Full cream cheese

What the Cows Eye Means.
The eye Of the COW, as Of the human
being. is inGicat tive of much. 1t shows
fbn character and force Of the nervous
SncrGy back Of it. If the nervous force
is strong the eye will show marked in
teIl;cence. It will be wide open. and
he sight will appear to be penetrat-
no. Il is said that COW with placid
eve always has good disposition, and
It's is cor btless true Of the human ami
ma. But t!,nre is such thing as hav-
ing an eye too open, and this indicates
too great nervousness and that the ami
NAL is easily frightened. The same is
true of the quick flashing eye. The
eye Of the cow can be studied with
profit. rt
