Tale Of 3 TailIess Cat.

It is well known that Manx cats
have no tails. only slight stumps, and
that the offspring Of such in other parts
of the world. in the first generation
at least, are In the same abnormal
condition. While living in Scotian0
thirty years ago we had a Manx kit
ten given to us. which, although born
there. was tailiess. The door OF our3
breakfast-room was spring shutt1r&a
like most of the screen doors in this
country, but opening only toward tns
inside. Before the kitten was fuiA
grown he had learned to let himselG
in by pushing from the outside, sus
never learned, although we often tried
to teach him, to pull it open from the
inside. Y
It was not, however, the opening OF
the door from thefoutside to when

fact that he had invariably, after ne

A Ration For Swine.

The argument that swine can be
fed more cheaply on corn than on any
thing else is fallacious if one counts for
any value the increased gain i'll a given
period under the other ration. True,
if corn is low in price and other rations
excessively high, then the cor is the
cheaper food provided the carcass
brings a fairly high price. 1t has been
demonstrated repeatedly that in most
localities the ideal balanced ration for
swine during the winter is one-halt
middlings and one-half cornmeal, vary
ing the ration by an occasional feed of
corn on the ear without, Of course,
the middlings.
A still cheaper ration, giving quite as
good results, consists of one-third soy
bean meal and two-thirds cornmeal,
provided the former can be bought at
a fair price. It has been proved be-
yond question that an entire corn ra-
ton lays the animal open to various
diseases, and that, beyond a certain
point, the exclusive corn ration adds
practically nothing to the weight of the
animal, so that nothing is gained in
feeding more than is necessary to sus-
tain life. Try one of the balanced ra-
tons suggested, and you will find it
profitable, as others have.-Indianapo-
lis News. ,

ton is a bronze statue of Napir Ason'
the wife of King Ountach Gal, who
lived some $500 years ago. This sta
tue was presented by the king to his
wife, and it has remained for centuries
buried at a depth Of sixty feet in the
ruins of the acropolis Of Susa. During
the past year the laborers employed IN
the excavation brought the statue to
light. The figure was intact, but the
head was missing. However, as only
some $780, 900 cubic meters have been
excavated up to the present of the
1920, 600 cubic meters which represent
the area of the acropolis, it is only rea-
sonable to suppose that the head will
eventually be found. On the base Of
the statue are carved the names Of the
queen, and behind her are two enam-
eled lions which went through the fire
Of the kiln at least 1000 years before
Christ.
"In addition to the statue the Ham
urabi code was found carved in gran
lite. This stone is Of great value. since
it gives US the civil code of the Chal-
deans 1000 years before our own era.
Further, the commission has found
'Koudourous' or property deeds en-

At Last, the Reason.

"a few years ago." remarked a mar

as most people remember. was for a
tender period between two legislative
sessions under the direction and con-
troll of a State commission Of exam

shave q b~ewhiskered citizen with full
legal effect he had to obtain a license
from the commission. The applicant
for a license was subjected to a rigid
examination, and at the time the
troubles of the Barber Commission
were being exploited in public L

tons asked in the commissions exam

Why is the upper lip always shaved
last?' I have never been able to find
an answer to that question in all Of
these succeeding years. I have asked
every barber that has shaved me in
that time, and only n out of the
whole number-he is a barber down
in Sydney, New South Waes-could

ton. When he had finished shaving
me I asked: why is the upper lip al

WINDS AND DRAUCHTS
Scientist Shows That the Former Are
Beneficial and the Latter Dangerous.

Scientist Shows That the Former Arc
Beneficial and the Latter Dangerous.
Professor Max Herr, an Austrian
scientist. has just published an essay
upon the difference between wind and
draught, which is likely to convince the
| public that the old-fashioned prejudice
against draughts is not altogether I'M
justified.
i By a draught is meant the currents
of air in an enclosed space. Our fore
fathers attributed nearly all the evils
that beset them to draughts, and they
would not have slept in uncurtained
beds for anything. Of course, their
windows and doors were shaky and
houses stood far apart, so draughts
were nearly inevitable. But the mod
ern scientific world tries to deny
draughts altogether, and calls them
winds, which are harmless and even
healthy to a certain degree.
DR.. Herr says that any n who cares
to find out the difference between a
wind and a draught can do so in any
| apartment which has windows on diff
| ferent sides of the house. Let him
open a window on a windy day on the
side of the house toward which the
| wind blows. The air which comes in is
quite harmless if the person exposed
to it be dressed in warm clothes, and
| little children may take the air in &
room thus ventilated. But let him open
a window past which the wind blows,
| and it will be found that the air in the
room is moved by a number of cur
| rents, all of which strive to reach the
opening. 1t is the passing wind which
sucks up the air in the room and draws
It out, and this causes the room to have
what is called q draught.
The effect upon sensitive persons is
Immediately felt, like the f%orerunner
Of pain to come. A draught will al
ways be felt as. colder than the wind.
Very dangerous draughts are those
that are produced in railway cars by
the rapid motion Of the train. 1t is
not wind that gets into the carriages,
but the air of the car which is sucked
out. A lighted match held to the chink
of the window will prove this-as the
flame will be drawn toward the win
dow. not blown from it.

Rve az Soil Protector.

While rye is not considered all that
is desirable as a cover crop it certainly
is far better than to allow the. soil to
remain uncovered all winter. We have
found great benefits in sowing rye after
harvesting the last potato crop, and
especially on the fields that are sandy.
We take pains, however, to fertilize
the soil before sowing the re. realiz-
ing that it has little. manurial Value,
but, on: the other hand. must take sone
plant food from the soil for its support.
The main value of the rye is in the
fact that the soil is kept open by hav-
ing this growth on it, hence obtains
and holds a certain quantity Of mois-
ture which will be needed the follow
ing summer by the growing crops.
What will be done with the crop in
the spring must be decided by condi-
tons. 1t may be desirable to feed it
to stock, but if this is not necessary
and the soil on which it grew is lack
ing in humus it would be most desira-
BILE to pillow it. under in the spring to
benefit the next crop in the rotation,
no matter what it may be. In any
event, have some sort of cover crop
for the soil and conserve the foods in
it rather than let them be destroyed
to.a greater or less extent by the ele-
ents.-Indianapolis News.

GaneA In

That dreadful disease, the gapes, de-
stroys many, many chicks every year.
1t is not really a disease, for the chick
is not what we might call sick, but it
gradually becomes weakened and ex
hausted from, the frequent yawning or
gaping, until it's vitality isigone~a and
soon it is no more:
Gapes are caused by small parasites
lodging in the .trachea. or windpipe, OF
the chick. Most of these worms are
fork shaped, although straight ones
are sometimes found. They hatch IN
damp ground or water and are found
by the chicks and swallowed. Perhaps
the bird may swallow only n worm.
but in a short time it multiplies and
sometimes " nay find a dozen worms
in the throat a, m. time.
When O flock =. infested, there are
several ways of getting rid of the pests,
that is, if they are given attention as
soon as the disease is discovered. AS
soon as possible separate the sick from
the we'll ones and apply a remedy; II
one fails, try another. e.
If attended to as soon as the gaping
is noticed, q small bit of camphor gum,
or three or four drops of ~turpentine
mixed in q pint of soft food will gen
orally effect a cure. Another, is to dip
a feather in the prepared camphor or
%turpentine. run it down the chicks
throat, give a sharp turn to remove,
and, quite often the worm will cling to
the feather.
The fumes of burning carbolic acid
is another very good remedy. Fasten
a screen about the middle of a barrel
or box. Put the chicks on the screen,
then put a few drops of the acid on
q red-hot shovel and set in the lower
half of the box or barrel; as the smoke
arises and flls the upper half where
the chicks are, watch them very care
fully. as it is liable to suffocate them
if kept in too long. Sulphur may be
used in the same way with good c
cess.
Instead of doctoring, let US strive to
prevent this disease: quite often it IS
through our own carelessness that this
trouble comes. Gapes are seldom found
where the fowls have good food and
pure water. and where cleanliness
about the house and runs is strictly
observed.-M. D. H.. in the Indiana
Farmer.

Shoaine Young Horaes.

onOolhS 4SuoH SAOAHS
. Trouble comes in this work when
there is improper handling the first
time the, colt is shod, SO that before the
colt is taken to the blacksmith for the
first time he should be prepared for
shoeing by handling his legs in such
a careful manner that he is not to be
harmed. The rule invariably is to take
the colt to the blacksmith first. This
is q poor plan. We have found the
following method to be an excellent
one in preparing the most vicious colts
for shoeing:
Tie a long strap around the colts
neck, passing it along the near side and
between the hind legs, bringing it. to
fit close to the body; then pass it un-
der the strap which is around the neck;
then tighten up the strap gradually,
holding the colt by the bride. The
colt will probably pull a little. but
speak to him kindly. When he has be-.
m accustomed to the strap, lower it
to a. point just above the hook and
gradually pull up the strap until you
have lifted the leg, at the same time
pull back or to the side on the bride
to keep him from stepping ahead; then
take the leg in your hand. The same
thing can be done with the other leg,
and after the process has been gone
through several times you will be SUI
prised to find how easy it is to lift
any<of the colts legs.-American Gu

Care Of Poultry Yard,

Where fowls are confined ia rather
close quarters during the summer it is
a good plan to arrange so that the
poultry; yard can be cleaned or. else
divided in two or more sections so that
one can be renovated while the other
is being used. If the yard is of the
ordinary garden. soil it should be
spaded under to the depth Of the
spade after first cleaning out the worst
of the filth. Then sow this space to
oats or rye and allow it to grow for
two weeks; then turn the poultry into
this yard and treat the other. yard in
the same manner.
