FOR THE CHILDREN
Animals, winter Homes.

"In the autumn" remarked natural
list, "the birds and beasts of the coun-
tryside occupy themselves in prepar-
ing their supplies of winter clothes
and bedding just as human beings
would do.
and by their winter clothes" he
continued, 81 do not mean merely the
extra thick suits of fur or feather, but
all kinds of artificial rugs and blankets,
which they manufacture themselves.
Take. first, the water rats, which
are famous blanket makers. They fill
their lairs in autumn with sheets of
the gray vegetable down that grows on
various plants in the marshes and by
the banks of rivers and brooks. Their
beds are often composed of the soft
heads of reeds that have been dried
and ripened by the autumn sun, with
rushes and vegetable down for bed
clothes.
"Then there are the field mice, which
make their winter beds with layers Of
dried grass and dead leaves. They are
also fond of few stray feathers and
moss, but most of all they prize the
white fluff of kind of grass which
makes for them a luxurious mattress.
Curiously enough. they do not care for
sleeps wool or the hair of any animal,
warm as it would be.
'Weasels. on the other hand. despise
feathers and are partial to hay and
also dried thistles "a prickly sort of bed,
one would suppose). They hunt for
wool or hair and when they have col
Iected sufficient weave it up with the
hay into a very snug bed"

Growing Alfalfa.

1t is generally agreed by the success
full alfalfa growers that when a field
makes a poor stand the better way is
to replow, reseed and try the same
field again. says Alva Agee in National
Stockman. Some beginners want to
disk the ground slightly, leaving the
plants that have been secured and
seeding among the scattering plants.
In some instances a good stand is got
In this way. but the better way is
thought TO be TO pillow. make a choice
seed bed and SOW seed literally, get

Finger Tricks.

Sit in chair and rest the tip Of the
first finger of either hand on the top
of your head. Ask a person TO raise
the hand by grasping your wrist. San
dow, with all his strength, could not
lift the hand of child. He would
raise the child from the floor but its
finger would not be moved from its
head.
Another trick shows how easily the
strength in the fingers of any ordinary
persons hand can part the fists of a
strong man. Place your fists together
at arms length, let another person
strike simultaneously your left fist
with one finger in a downward direc-
ton and your right fist with one finger
in an upward direction. No matter
how hard you press your fists togeth-
er, they will fly apart.

Why so" Ia Round,

As every one knows, the letter 90
is The fifteenth in the English alphabet
II has four sounds, one OF which, as in
go, Is probably one of the Oldest and
helped TO fix its shape The letter In
the Hebrew and PhOenician alphabet
that corresponded TO the long was
called avn or eye and was represent
ed by rude drawing OF an eye. or
course this was often rendered simply
as circle with dot In the middle.
and at last il became the custom to
omit the dot, which gave us merely a
circle, the present form of the letter.

Pigs and Sow.

The length of time for the pigs to
run with the dam varies from six to
ten or even eleven weeks. owing to
circumstances and conditions and the
care that can be given. Six weeks is
the shortest time that a litter should
follow the dam. and this is only allow
able when It is desired TO breed the
sow again for fall pigs. Generally it is
best to allow them TO run with the SOW
at least eight If not ten weeks. as the
pigs will thrive better and grow faster.

Vulgarity is certainly commoner
among men than among women, and.
indeed, when a woman is vulgar she
is apt to display the quality in high
perfection. The reason why It is rare
among women is that the emotional
nature Is stronger among women thar
among men, and thus where men are
ambitious, fond Of displaying power,
anxious to carry out designs, DESTROYS
Of recognition. women are sympathetic
tender, affectionate, subtle: they value
relations with others more than per.
formances, they encourage and console.
because they are interested in the per
son who desires sympathy more than
In the aims which he nourishes. II
ones main interest in life Is in the
personalities that surround one, one Is
not likely to be tempted by vulgarlty,
