LEG GUT OFF
ON THE STAGE
Novel Stunt a Feature OF the
Y. M. C. AS Roundup
Last Night.

The members of the 7. NJ. G. A. had
a roundup at the association rooms
last night, about eighty being present.
The first part of the program con-
sisted Of college songs, games, and Sc
lections by the Diamond Head quartet.
The second section Of the festivities
was an original stunt entitled "A Busy
Day at the Hospital" 1t was jolly
little affair and sent everyone home
feeling on the best of terms with him
self
The scene was an operating table in
a hospital. Two doctors in white
gowns awaited the arrival of the
anesthetized patient who was to have
his left leg amputated below the knee
Presently he was borne in and then
the fun began.
A doctor sharpened saw and after
the usual preliminaries cut the leg on
in plain view of the audience. The
wound was then bound up and the
patient carried to his ward. The
sawed-off article was a section OF
bullock's leg on which a sock and shoe
had been placed.
Doctor No. rs speciality was an oper-
alton for appendicitis
AS before the patient was brought
to the table and the knives were whet-
ted A little cutting saw some blood
like fluid staining the patients wrap
per. Still the knife went deeper and at
last the surgeon with an expression OF
dismay plunged his hand into Inc
wound and drew out an elastic loot
ball bladder Someone had blundereo.
After the bladder had been replaced
the wound was sewn up with a SAL
needle and the patient was carried
away.

gay an evening as the local Y.@M- 7.

GOOD AND POOR COWS.
They Can Be Discovered Only by
Methods of Testing.

The establishing of test associa-

age COWS are doing at the present
time.
The milk scale and Babcock test
must of necessity come into use
Every farmer should have a milk
scale hanging in the barn where it
will be handy to weigh each cows
milk, and by the side of this, a
milk sheet with names or numbers
of COWS, enabling him to keep a
daily record of each cow in his herd.
There is not more than one in 20
farmers that knows the amount of
milk and butter fat each COW in the

DAIRY NOTES.

Three COWS without salt produced
55 pounds less milk in a week in an
experiment station test.
Only clean tin milk utensils should
be used. Patched or rusty tinware
should not be tolerated.
When you buy a separator get one
that runs easy, washes easy and
skins clean and you'll have the best
Whitewash looks and is mighty
nice on the inside of the COW barn and
a little salt will make it stick better
Eastern cowmen practice soiling in
summer. They figure green corn or

$25 per acre.
Many a dairyman blames his COWS
when he ought not to do So 1t often
quiets his conscience, though, and the
cows don't care.

Until Too Stiff to Bend Over.

"When l drank coffee | often had

suit has been that have been entire

MY mother was just the same way.
We all drink Postum now, and with

drinker. was troubled with pains in
her side for years and was an invalid.
She was not able to do her work and

thing at all where she would have to

little hard work she would get such
pains that she would have to lie down
for the rest of the day.
"At last | persuaded her to stop
drinking coffee and try Postum Food
Coffee and she did so and has used
Postum ever since; the result has been
that she can now do her work, can

to solve it with any degree of salts

by beaver or a muskrat.
In another moment a mans head

with a wild look at me and my boat,
not 20 yards distant, he gave a con-
vulsive sputter and disappeared again
with plunge like that of porpoise
playing under the bow of ship.

CHAPTER XXI.
An Unexpected Swim.

For time it seemed to me that the
fellows life must have been lost and
that his body had floated down the
stream with the current, which in
creased steadily in force as it neared
the falls, some two miles below.
Whence he had come | did not
know, for | could not conceive that
a man would be swimming in the river
at this time of year, and, just as l was
about to row ashore and report the
affair to those who could institute
a proper search for the body, an idea
flashed into my head and served to
explain the matter in short order.
The ghosts, or at least the men
who impersonated them, had always
disappeared from sight at this point
on the river bank, and, doubtless, they
had dived into the water and found
shelter somewhere under the shore
If this were the case, a man might
easily enough have ventured out from
his hiding place, and, upon seeing me,
returned and waited until the coast
was clear again.
l pulled in close to the shore, and,
padding slowly along under the over
hanging bank, | soon discovered a
broad fight Of stone steps lying en-
tirely beneath the surface Of the wa

At the very first bar Polly opened
her eyes in surprise, and rocked her
self to and fro in deep and speechless
wonder.
She was evidently thinking deeply.
and her excitement was intense. She
cooked her head on one side, with an
expression that indicated interested
conjecture, and irritation at not ar
irving at satisfactory conclusion.
AS the song finished, an idea dawned
upon her
Well" said Mrs. Jones with pride,
what do you think of that, Polly?"
Then the bird found words:

got the old man boxed up this time"

Sistance as | could render lest he
should collapse before my eyes, when
| discovered that he, himself, had
made provision for this contingency.
From under a growth of underbrush
he hurriedly extracted heavy ulster
or storm coat and, taking a flask from
one of the pockets, he raised it to his
lips and drank long and greedily. This
done, he drew the coat nervously
about his shaking limbs, and, with
hunted sort of a look in every direc-
ton but mine, so that | did not get a
view of his face, he ran at top speed
along the shore and finally disap-
peared in the trees at the turn of
the river.
1t would have been futile to have
followed him, and | once more be-
gan to look about me before calling
for aid and having the cavern, or
whatever it was, unroofed. The lawn
at this part of the grounds was kept
in especially good condition, as it lay
almost directly in front of the house,
and scattered about it were numerous
flower beds and clumps of shrub
berry
In going over this area carefully and
Systematically as l did / was not long
in finding in the center of mass Of
thickly leaved evergreen bushes, a
patch of earth that had evidently
been disturbed within a few hours.
On brushing away the leaves and dirt,
which seemed to have been replaced
hurriedly, in an awkward attempt to
conceal the spot | came upon an iron
grating like the covering to the man
hole of a sewer, but with openings
which, il they had been clear, would
have permitted certain limited
amount of ventilation. This lid was
hinged at one side but was not fas-
tened down and | had no great diff
Guilty in lifting 1t up so that | could

rowed up and down the stream with
no particular objective point in mind
and only thinking of what | might do
in regard to Mrs. Bruce, and, most of
all. how | could hope to again gain
Miss Carney's good will, if nothing
more. and explain, in the slightest de-
gree, my outrageous behavior.
1t is needless to say that | was in no
happy frame of mind and, as | allowed
the boat to drift slowly down stream
with the current, l leaned over the
side and peered into the depths of the
limpid water ON which | was float
ing.
AS | drifted carelessly along in this
lazy fashion | finally came to a point
opposite that portion of the bank
where the ghosts had disappeared so
suddenly and mysteriously in the
bright moonlight. Up to this time
my mind had been free from any
thought of this feature of the Carney
Croft puzzle, for the events of the
past few days, together with my anx-
iety to see Miss Carney and right
myself in her eyes, were more than
enough to occupy my entire attention
for the moment
The realization of my position off
the shore, however, served to recall
vividly the spectral scene of the sum
mer, and | again began to speculate
as to the manner in which the ghost
like figures had managed to disappear
from view in such an effectively SUI
pernatural way.

Scoring the Ruttermaker.

The officials of the dairy division of
the department OF agriculture are
planning a score card that will not
only score butter and cheese but that
will score the buttermakers and
cheesemakers also. This is a good
plan, and the card would do much
good if it could be honestly used
Some of the managers of factories
would be surprised at the low scoring
their manufacturer would receive. II
would certainly be a good thing for
the dairy schools; for it would show

lesson to the boards that control the

SPAIN FAR BEHIND NATIONS.
Illiteracy Prevails There to a Most
Amazing Extent.

OF the 20,OOO,0OO people inhabiting
Spain, only about 35 per cent. can
read and write; another two and one
half per cent. of the population can
read without being able to write, but
the remaining 62h per tent are abb
solute illiterates. In the south of
Spain it is impossible to get a serv-
ant who can read and write, and
many of the postmen are unable to
tell to whom the letters they carry
are addressed. They bring a bun
die Of letters to house and the
owner looks through them and takes
those which are (or which he thinks
are) addressed to him. The Spanish
postmen are not paid. by the state;
the recipient of the letters have to
remunerate them according to the
amount of their correspondence, and
each letter costs the addressee at
least one cent. 1t is a joke among
the easy-going Spaniards that he who
treats the postmen best receives the
most letters-whether they are in
ended for him or not.

THE FALL cow.
She Will Make Winter Dalrying
Profitable.

If every farmer who follows the
practice of having the cows drop
their calves in the spring could thor.
oughly understand the combarative
advantage of winter dairying he
would be pretty apt to change his
plans. The average COW produces lit
tie more than $50 pounds of butter in
year. 1t is safe to say that this
same COW can be made to produce
zoo pounds of butter per year through
winter dairying entirely.
The COW that drops her calf about
May 1 has only about two months of
good pasturage ahead before the
hot weather comes and the flies be-
gin to pester her. Those two months
she will do exceedingly well but they
are the two months of the year
when dairy products are at the low
est prices. During the season of dry
pasture and flies her milk flow will
diminish to such an extent that it is
impossible to make her give a good
flow during even the early winter
months.
hS Wv IldG uIOp6 UeT call ABOUT
November 1 or December 1 has been
dry during the time of shortest pas
lures and during the busiest season of
the year on the farm. She has a long
period of usefulness ahead of her
before fly time the following season
She will be doing her very best while
prices for dairy products are highest
and while the time of her owner is
not so expensive. BY the time grass
comes she will have reached
period in her lactation when a de-
crease in the milk flow is to be ex-
pected but will give good flow
as soon as she gets on grass any
way. She will be ready to take her
rest when the season is most unfav-
orable for milk production
In addition to these facts there Is
another very potent reason why the
cows should freshen in the fall. The
young calf will not require very
much grain feed the first six months
and is old enough to thrive in the
pasture the following season and to
fight its own battle during fly sea-
son. The result is a yearling calf
at a very small cost.
1t is true that it will cost perhaps
five or six dollars more per year to
feed the winter dairy COW, but if it
does the increase in receipts will be
more than double that amount.

ter, and leading apparently to some
sort of tunnel or cave.
AS | made this disc1-ery | had no
doubt that the mysterious figure l had
seen had emerged from this sunken
tunnel, and, upon encountering me,
had returned to it with all possible
haste. | certainly had no desire to fol-
low him through the submerged en-
trance to his place of concealment,
but / determined to oust him with
out delay, and leaving my skiff at the
boathouse, | returned for a final re-
connoiter before summoning a gang
of men to dig down from above and
lay bare the subterranean vault to
which the submerged stairway doubt
less led.
Clambering up on the knoll that
overlooked this part of the river, |
cast my eye in every direction up and
down the stream, keeping as close
watch as possible on the entire land
scape, and, even sooner than | had
expected, | was rewarded by seeing
the fellows head again emerge from
the water about 20 feet off shore.
AS he shook the drops from his face
and glanced about him apprehensive-
ly / crouched low down on the ground,
back of brush, and watched him at
| tentively from this point of vantage
, His countenance was so distorted
with the cold and the water in his
eyes that | could not have recognized
him even if l had seen him before
and he seemed to swim with great diff
ficulty, doubtless because of the icy
chill of the water; but he went brave
ly about it and struck out manfully
for the shore, which he reached in a
few sturdy strokes.
AS he got into shallow water and
made his way to the land, I could see
that he was fully dressed, even to his
shoes, and that he was shivering vio-
| lently from the effect of his exertion
and the exposure to which he had
! been subjected.
l was almost on the point of calling
! out to him and offering him such as
