the purpose. among other things, OF
meeting officials Of the company and
consulting with them as to the advis-
ability Of establishing another refinery
in this eection. The question of es-
tablishing another refinery seemed to
have been already settled. but with
respect to the location the views Of
the travelling men were to be taken.
The two men with whom Mr.. Beck
talked favored Cairo as the most de.
sirable point and stated that the pre-.
yailing sentiment among the travelling
men was for Cairo.
II Is not al all likely that any big
official of the company would tell

posed to do in matter OF this kind
hence the denial of such official at
this time is OF small value

Odd Freak of a Tornado.

Attending the story OF every cy-
clone there is something Of the nature
OF freak to be related During the
small twister in the Highland district
the almost incredible happened. But
we must believe the story, for It was
told by truthful men. Between two
corner-stones Of barn (Nr. Rnth-
run's barn, we belicye) the feathers
and perhaps the foot OF d chicken
protruded. The stones we're intact
and showed no signs of ever having
been disturbed by man or the power
Of The elements. But the chicken
was blown in between those large
stones by the fury of the storm in
some manner. 1t was n chicken with
out doubt, though pressed as thin
as an onion peel How did it get
there? The theory shared by nearly
all who witnessed the phenomenon
is that during the. storm and sud
den gust of wind the barn and the
top stone were lifted sufficiently high
to allow the chicken to be blown into
the crevlce, and before the fowl could
get out the barn settled down.

until vines cover ground and there
Is danger of breaking them. II
vines are pruned and tied up to a
stake the fruit will be larger and
more uniform In size, but vines do
not yield rs many tomatoes as those
left to spread on ground or on rack.
We find they do splendidly and the
fruit keeps clean IL they are mulched
with straw after they are cultivated
the last time.
II potato bugs get on vines when
they are small, use paris green, but
do not use It after fruit sets, as there
Is danger of poisoning the fruit. The
best way to keep clear OF bugs Is to
Keep them killed in the potato patch
then they cannot travel to the to-
matoes.
If growing for cannery, the early
fruit pays best as the vines make
more fruit per plant and the can
merry will not pay any more for the
very late ones than for those grown
when tomatoes are plentiful.

Disinfectinq an Army.

Every one of the 100000 japanese
soldiers who left Manchuria after the
war had to be Glsinfected before be-
ing allowed to return home. Men.
clothes and weapons were alike dis
infected. The soldiers stripped from
head to foot, had each to take hot
bath, and on emerging from it were
clothed in fresh kimono, while their
clothes were subjected to a vigor-
Gus dlsnfection in vaporizing ovens.
The weapons were also disinfected
by subjecting them 20 fumes: even
the jewelry and cigaret cases and
watches all passed through the dis
injecting chambers, while for the
paper money which had been the
currency OF the war new notes and
coins were given in exchange. These
hygienic precautions were pursued
day and night, and before any Jap
anese was regarded as fit TO Te-enter
the Isles Of Nippon he and his
equipment had had at least an hour
and halfs treatment.

Enrin Notes.

Decaying food and staprant water
Will injure the health of the COW, and
the quality Of the milk.
The hours of milking sl,oull he
regular, and each COW should be
milied in regular order.
A good magim for the farmer is
always be on the alert for ideas that
will serve to better your condition. +"
A surplus rooster is an expensive
ornament in the poultrw, yard. Eat
or kill the surplus r55sters before
they eat double their value.
When cows teats are tender and
they are sensitive and inclined to be
irritable when being MIXED, apply
linseed oil after each milking.
A dairy COW should not be allowed
to wander over very large field. as
the energy spent in walking about
will show in u reduction in quality of
milk.
Unsanitary surroundings cause
more disease, puny and unhealthy
birds. and more general loss in the
poultry yard than all other causes
combined.
We agree thoroughly with any
proper scheme that may be intro
duced on the farm that will be pleas
ant, helpful or entertaining to the
women folk.
Fowls do not require SO much
care as an inexperienced person
might think, but the care must be
Intelligent and given regularly and
at the right time.
Some fowls are better adapted to
cold than to warm weather. Corn Is
cold weather food. Feed more oats
and wheat and less corn as the wealth
er grows warmer.
Set your hens in movable nests.
One advantage in movable nests is
that they may be removed, sprinkled
with oil and burned off, if mites be-
come troublesome.
The best possible time to separate
cream from milk is when first drawn,
and while the animal heat is still re-
tanned. The farm separator takes
out the cream before the milk cools
or becomes sour.
No matter how successful you
might be, it is good plan to never
feel really satisfied. The man with
out some high aim in view. is more
than likely to lose great deal Of
ambition which is unworthy OF any
one.

MILK and Cream.

Recent investigations among the
nerds which supply the Pennsylvania
State College creamery with milk and
cream, show that on some farms II
requires nine cows to produce as
much net profit as produced by five
average cows in the herd of grade
dairy cows kept by the college. Some
men receive as little as ninety-nine
cents, s1.05 and s1.20 for each dol
lars worth of feed consumed, while
others receive from $1.50 to $3.50
for each dollar invested in pasture
hay, grain, etc. As result of this
work twelve farmers are now keeping
records to determine which are the
least profitable cows Samples OF
each cows milk are tested by the col
lege creamery.

Children Taught ldlene IS.

A writer In The North American
Review has something to say about
child idleness in contrast to child
labor. There is much said about
preventing children from working too
hard, but the day seems to have gone
by when children are encouraged to
work All the talk seems TO be In re-
gard to their working too much, and
the fact Is that there is just as
much inclination TO idleness rs there
ever was, and n good many children
are being spoiled by the conditions
Of the time not by working too much
but by being impressed with the
idea that there is danger Of their do
ing it.

Hints ON Hrcedlnc Shcep.

AS the result of several years of
experience, the Wisconsin station
publishes the following conclusion:
From the breeding records OF
514 ewes at this station we co2clude
that, for such animals and condi-
tions rs ours, the normal period of
CESSATION ranges from 1f4 to 100
days after the date of service, and
that more ewes will lamb 14G days
after service than at any other time.
There is no appreciable difference
In the period of CESSATION for male
and female offspring in sheep.
There is an apparent relation be-
tween the duration Of the period of
CESSATION and the period required for
maturity. Quick-maturing breeds
appear to carry their young for a
shorter period than those breeds re-
quiring more time to mature.
Large lambs are on the average
carried in the utero for an appre-
ciably longer period than small or
medium lambs.
Lambs dropped before the Hath
and after the 149th day OF preg-
nancy are lacking in strength and
vitality at birth.
Shropshire ewes are more pro-
life than any Of the other breeds and
crosses, except the fourth cross of
Shropshire rams on a Merno eve
foundation.
From the data presented It Is
apparent that twins are the normal
Increase for ewes of the mutton
type.
