Famous fA1nE Ux.

Og, the famous king of Bashan, men,
toned in Deuteronomy, had a bedstead
nine cubits long, or about sixteen and
a half feet. It is doubtful whether
Og himself was Of the full length of
his bedstead. Many bones Of reputed
giants have been found in different
countries Of the world, and uniformed
people hastily concluded that the men
to whom these bones were supposed
to have belonged must have been from
fifteen to thirty feet in height. All
such remains have been proved to be
those of the gigantic animals existing
in q former era Of tie worlds history.

The Power Of Intuition.

'"The power Of intuition usually spok-

1T is merely the ordinary method of
reasoning from observation intensified.
The so called intuitional person differs
from the one, of more commonplace
powers in possessing keener sensi-

clusively feminine, observes a thou

A Profitable Implement.

On soil that IL inclined to lump up

will level the soil readily, and at the
same time crush the clods. Such an
implement can readily be made at home
and be quite as effective as those which

Butter men may well find food for
thought in the figures showing the big
increase In the oleo output for the last
six months Of the past year, says the
American Cultivator. There was an
average gain of more than a million
pounds a month as compared with the
same period Of the preceding year. The
figures Include both colored and I'M
colored oleo, and the relative gain In
many dairymen that the product final

FERROUS manner, having acquired the
yellow hue without the payment of the
10-cent tax. Nobody seems to be buy

increasing to an enormous extent The
present high price Of butter Is, of
course, stimulus to the bogus but

shape of Ideal Dairy Cow.

Whether she be a Holstein, a Jer-
sey or whatever she may be, you will
find the typical dairy COW with bony
head and strong jaw, long between the
eyes and nose, with broad muzzle. She
should have a bright, protruding eye,
which means strong nerve force and
action later on. She should have a
thin neck and retreating brisket. The
lines above and below must not be
straight, or she will steal from you.
She should be slightly depressed be-
hind the shoulders with a sharp chine
not too straight a backbone. She
must have large organs of reproduction
and large heart girth, wide between
fore legs and sharp on shoulders,
which gives large heart action and
strong arterial circulation. And last
but by no means least, she must have
good udder, for one-half the value
Of COW Is In her udder, which should
be long from front to rear.

that the pupils of 1916 answered 400 per
cent of the words correctly, those of 1895
51.2 per cent, while the Cleveland pupils
in this year of grace spelled 61.2 per cent
correctly. In the case of the arithmetic
papers, the percentage of correct replies
for 1S46 was 40.6, in Springfield last year
Il was 52.1, and in Cleveland school at

Health and Beauty Hints.

Melted CASTLE soap and common oat-
meal mixed together with little water
and slightly perfumed Is an excellent
remedy for removing dirt from the
hands and bleaching the skin.
A soap manufacturer says that fine
toilet soaps need drying and ripening
just as much as coarser soaps, there
fore it will be found advantageous by
some to purchase toilet soaps In large
quantities.
Colds and serious diseases resulting
from them can be prevented by care
fulness. Keep a wooden robe and wool
lined slippers near the bedside to be
slipped on when called up suddenly
during the night.
A complete relaxation of the body
for ten minutes just before meals
should be INDUCED in. The physical
organs used In the process Of digestion
need to be rested and refreshed before
beginning thir work.

Caring for Chicks.

When chicks are removed from the
incubator to the brooder great care
should be taken that they do not be-
come chilled. The floor of the brood
er should be covered with fine, clean
chaff. Fine sand and clean water
should be in the brooder from the be-
ginning. All the fine, dry bread
crumbs they will pick up every two
hours should constitute the feed for
several days, gradually adding rolled
oats, hardboiled eggs, cracked wheat,
johnny cake, millet seed, etc. Milk and
water should always be kept in the
fountains. When three weeks old
make mashes Of bran, meal, middlings,
beef scraps, table refuse, all sailed to
season and mixed together with skim
milk. Alfalfa leaves may also be
thrown into the brooder in the place
Of straw or chaff. The mash in the
morning, wheat at noon and cracked
Germ or kaffir corn at night constitute
the main feed to keep the chicks grow
ing.

The best orchardists are averse to
growing anything in the orchards but
the trees even when the latter are
young. They argue, and properly, that
the growing trees need all the virtue
there Is in the soil and that If the APP
pie crops In future years are to be OF
any value they must be provided for
during the earlier years OF the trees.
Thee are fruit growers, on the other
hand who insist that hoed crop will
be Of <enefit to the trees, and that this
may be consireded so under certain
conditions and up to certain limits
If the soil In the orchard Is kept up
to the highest state Of fertility SO that
the trees will not suffer the want Of
the portion of the fertilizer taken by
the hoed crop, then the latter can do
no harm, indeed, 1t will be Of value
because the soil will receive a certain
amount Of cultivation which, perhaps
would not be given 1t If 1t were not
for the hoed crop. Work the hoed
crop in the orchard cautiously, and
watch the effect on the trees.

is perforated at intervals of two
inches, using a wire nail for the work
and punching in. Fit this can snugly

simple Ailment. of Children.


The value of warm baths and their
effect upon nervous or fretful children,
whether in sickness or health, cannot
be overestimated. Every infant, unless
there Is some good reason to the con-
trary, such as a skin affection or i'll
ness, should have two baths day-one
q tub bath In the morning, the other
a warm sponge bath when put to bed
The morning bath Is conducive to
healthfulness and cleanliness, the
sponge bath at night is most useful on
account of its quieting and soothing
effect. Neither bath should be above
or below 90 degrees temperature; at
this temperature there can be no dan
ger from cold. The morning bath re-
moves such deposits as have been ex-
GREETED by the skin during the night,
leaving the pores open and not as
many people suppose, making the child
more sensitive to cold. 1t cleanses the
millions of little pores, allowing them
to exude certain oils, which lubricate
the s~in and keep 1t soft and fine, at
the same time throwing off refuse
which accumulates In the circulation.

Preserving Eggs.

A gallon will cover seventy-ive dozen
eggs. Next winter they will bring only
few cents a dozen less than fresh
eggs. Preserve only fresh eggs. No
process can improve a stale egg. Pack
in wooden or earthen vessels, putting
the eggs in from day to day with a
wooden spoon to avoid breakage. Keep
