How to Keep Household Pets Well by
Proper Attention.
There is no time in the year when
animals need so much care as in the
summer. Then they must not only be
kept clean. but must be fed ana water
cd properly, for OIL this depends their
health.
Dogs should be given little or no
meat during the warm weather. and
water should be kept where they can
get 1t at any time. Dog biscuits are
the best form Of food for them. Milk
and oatmeal are also good. A bone
with very little meat on it may be
given for them to chew. but 1t Is better
to let the biscuits take its place. Dogs
should be washed at least once Il week
to keep them in good condition. a
soap containing tar is best for the pur
pose.
Cats should be fed mainly on milk
and muSh, and. strange to say, they
are very fond Of some vegetables. Corn
on the cob does not hurt them, and a
great many like it very much. There
have even been cats that liked canta-
loupe. These animals also should have
water where they may get it. and some
cats may be washed with good results
to the cat-although it Is very dam
gerous operation for the unfortunate
person who is detailed to perform the
feat Some cool place should be pro
vided for them to sleep, but the cellar
is not always good. for 1t is too damp.
Dogs should not be allowed to sleep
in the house. particularly in summer.
The stable is the best place. or, lack
ing that, the dog kennel would be all
right.
Canaries should be provided with a
daily bath. Drinking water should be
kept in their cages at all times. Let
tuce leaves, celery tops and chickweed
should be provided for them about
| twice a week. and bit of red pepper
will do them no harm. Cuttetish. of
course. is always kept in the cage.
which should be lined with gravel.
Hemp seed is very fattening and should
not be given to the birds very often.
They should be fed on bird seed and
rape seed. with lump Of sugar US an
occasional treat.

Ny JOHN MITCHELL,

Garner while he is fighting the bat
tie of organized labor, is the invest
ment swindler. He has all the craft
of wolf, his purpose seeming to be
to attack the workingman from the

by the forces facing him. And these
promoters of the small investment
swindling game have grown so in
numbers, in holiness and in cunning
that their attacks must receive atten-
ton before their depredations amount
to quite as much as the losses which
might come from unfair wage scales
or unjust restrictions upon labor.
When a workingman engages in a
struggle to advance the cause of or
ganized labor he feels that he is do
ing something substantial for himself,
for his family, and for his fellows.
And so he is; but if he turns over to
the fake investment sharpers all the
concrete results of the advantage thus
gained, how far ahead is he? How
much more of comfort can he give
himself or his family as net result
of the transaction?

SKIM MILK ZOE HENS.
High Percentage of Eggs Shown by
Hens on This Diet.

Concerning the value of skim milk
for hens the American Poultry Advo-
cate has the following to say:
The West Virginia experiment sta
ton has recently made some syste-
matte tests to prove the value of skim
milk for laying hens. The first test
covered 122 days. The 20 hens fed
skim milk laid 1924 eggs, as compared
with 1896 eggs laid by the % hens fed
mash wet with water. In another test,
60 hens fed the skim-milk ration laid
S62 eggs in 81 days, as compared with
632 eggs laid by a similar lot fed no
skim milk Other tests gave about
the same comparative results.
The conductors of these experiments
estimate that under the prevailing
conditions, and with eggs selling for
20 or 20 cents dozen, the skim milk
used for moistening the mash had a
feeding value of from '11s to 2 cents
per quart. That milk is one of the
best general foods for almost all stock
and human beings, too, is recognized
by everybody, and needs no special
proof. That 1t should have better re-
suits in nutrition than just plain water
is really self-evident.
When | feed skim milk to my fowls,
l expect to get some benefit from it.
But it is a satisfaction to know that
it is worth, for feeding purposes, the
comparatively high figure of 11s to 2
cents a quart.
The exceedingly high prices of corn
will cut out any profit from the pig
feeding at present prices of pork.
Shelled corn is worth at wholesale
about go cents bushel of Sc pounds
in Chicago. 1t takes Sc pounds to
make 10 pounds of pork. The corn is
worth 60 cents and the pork at 6A
cents a hundred live weight is worth
60 cents. Not much profit in that.

the delightful horseback rides came
to a sudden end. The purchaser, as
Ralph found out by inquiry, was a

But Mother was such a slave to coffee
she thought it would be terrible to
give it up.

change to Postum, and quickly her

see how l could drink Postum. found
she had made it like ordinary coffee.

The nearest thing to a camel among
plants is a curious specimen Of the
cucumber family which bears the
name of the Ibervillea sonorae. This
plant, like the camel, is a native Of the
desert and it has to go without water
longer than the animal.
AS the rainy season in the desert
comes only once a year nature pro-
vides the l. S. with a reservoir to
store up enough moisture to last It
between times. The organ in which
the water is stored is located at the
base of the stem. 1t is covered with
sort of macintosh envelope
through which the water can neither
escape nor evaporate.
This water holder rests on the sand
throughout the entire period Of
drought, but when the rain comes It
springs into activity.
