Games of SavaceSs

Most people are we'll aware that the
popular Canadian game of lacrosse
originated, goodness knows how many
centuries ago, among the North Amer
lean Indians.
When you come to look into it., it is
quite astonishing how many games
were invented and are today practiced
by peoples that we are accustomed to
think of as savages. Wallace tells US
how in Borneo one wet day he thought
to amuse his Dyak boys by showing
them cats cradle. He found that they
not only knew it, but knew more
intricate figures than he. The Maoris
Of New Zealand actually have a sort
Of pictorial history in cats cradle fig
ures of twisted fiber.
The Sandwich islanders play kind
Of draughts. The south sea peoples
nearly all are adept at kitefying.
Polo comes from Persia and is played
magnidcently by wild hill tribes from
northern India. Backgammon and
parchesi are both eastern games, dat
tamarind seeds being used as '1ots'' i'm
the latter.

Tha ,cposs;bIe Cat.

Let's have another game. Here is
one that is both amusing and instruc-
tive. Two captains are chosen, who
choose their sides, and then all take
seats, facing each other. 1t is deter
mined by lot which side shall begin
the game, and the captain who wins
says, sour cat is ambiguous" The
captain on the other side must then.
before the first captain counts ten, say,
''Our cat is agile" or If not ''agfle" he
must use some other adjective begin
ming with ''a" No one is allowed to
use an adjective that has already been
used in the game, and If he fails to
name one before the opposite player
counts ten he is ''out." The captain
who starts the game may make a
change in the letter with which the
adjectives have to begin by giving no.
tice. It is customary to use the letters
Of the alphabet in regular order, but
this is subject to variation. 1t is a
fixed rule, however, that every adjec-
tive used after the captain starts must
begin with the letter he used until a
change has been made by him.

GOOD Ho1E RECIPE.
Mix This Simple, Helpful Recipe at

Mix This Simple, Helpful Recipe at
Home and Try it, Anyway.
Get from any prescription pharma-
cist the following:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Shake well in bottle and take
teaspoonful dose after each meal and
at bedtime.
The above is considered as the most
certain prescription ever written to
relieve Backache, Kidney Trouble,
Weak Bladder, and all forms of Uri-
nary difficulties. This mixture acts
promptly on the eliminative tissues
of the Kidneys, enabling them to filter
and strain the uric acid and other
waste matter from the blood which
causes Rheumatism.
Some persons who suffer with the
Affections may not feel inclined to
place much confidence in this simple
mixture, yet those who have tried it
say the results are simply surprising,
the relief being effected without the
slightest injury to the stomach or 9TH
er organs.
Mix some and give it trial. It
certainly comes highly recommended.
It is the prescription of an eminent
authority, whose entire reputation, it
is said, was established by it.
A druggist here at home, when
asked, stated that he could either sup
ply the ingredients or mix the pre-
scription for our readers, also recon-
mends it as harmless.

Curing Balky Horse.

There are many guaranteed" recipes
for curing a balky horse, but it is this
writer's experience that it requires
more than one recipe very often to eff
feet the cure. So it is well that many
cures are at hand. Here is one from
the Breeders Gazette: Withhold water
frem the horse the first day, hitch him
up, and If he refuses to pull keep him
thirsty to the second day. In most
cases the horse is then willing to work
yet in bad cases the water has to be
withheld for three days. Care should
be taken not to let the horse have too
much water when he starts to work.
It is better to give him 1t several times
and only little each time. Never wa
ter the horse until after the work for
the first two weeks. After that he will
pull willingly at any time.
Morris tribune., 1908-11-28
Hints for Stock Owners.

One of the most costly leaks in the
winter dairy is caused by compelling
the cows to..drink ice cold water from
trough in an unsheltered corner of
the barnyard. 1t requires a good deal
of feed to restore the animal heat and
to start the checked milk flow.
Do not neglect the colts and calves.
An ill-kept yearling is bound to de-
teriorate into stunted beast.
Do you every day pull soggy or
frozen fodder from an exposed stack?
Discouraging work, is it not, and poor
eating for the stock? Resolve not to
do it next winter.
When the roads get slippery have
the horse shod up sharp. Many a
horse has been spoiled by slipping on
an icy road.
A long halter strap in the stable is
source of danger. It enables the horse
to back out of the stall far enough to
kick it's stable mate.
Lousy cattle may be safely sprinkled
with wood-ashes, rubbed with sui
phur ointment or whale -oil, or with
petroleum emulsion.
The temperature of the cream in
winter should about 700, though from
four to six degrees lower will be all
right if separator has been used.
Do not let the theffer form the habit
of drying up as soon as cold weather
begins. Give her plenty of good food
keep her warm and comfortable and
she will develop into profitable COW.
Don't guess at anything you do in
the dairy hne-know. That is the
only safe rule. Scales, a thermome-
ter, paper and pencil-these are
things that every dairyman ought to
have close at hand all the time.
Oats, wheat bran, linseed meal,
clover hay and roots are the best
foods for breeding ewes.
It is better not to breed any sheep
less than two wears of age. Then you
get better lambs and your ewes are
apt to grow to a much larger size.
Sheep are dainty feeders. They will
not eat hay that other creatures have
mussed over. They refuse grain tax
en- from ratty crib.
AS the pigs grow they will need a
constantly increasing amount of
food.
They should be fed all they will eat
up clean three times day.
The best way to sell your corn is
the gristmill of the hog.
The. right heat for scalding hogs is
1870. If the water is heated to a high
er temperature the hair does not
come off SO freely.

Spiliinq Salt,

Boys and girls have all heard per
haps that it is unlucky to spill salt, bat
that the evil effects may probably be
averted by throwing some of it over
your right shoulder. 1t is wonderful
how old some Of these superstitfons
are. This one about the salt, for ex-
ample, came to us from the ancient
Romans. Salt was regarded by them
as an emblem Of publication, and they
always placed some on the head Of
victim in sacrifice If the salt were
spilled In doing this it was looked on
as a bad omen. 1t ~ said that the
Romans got the custom from the Jews,
and after awhile the spilling Of salt on
any occasion was regarded as unlucky.
The custom Of throwing part Of it
over the right shoulder arose from
their belief that anything pertaining
to the right side was lucky, but to the
left side unlucky.

Care of Farm implements.

~ The farmer is through with practi-
cally all of the farm machinery for this
season. Have the plows been thor
oughly cleaned and creased and
housed? Have the cultivator shovels
and drill hoes been cleaned, polished
and placed In the dry? The moving
machine, hayrake and binder should
all be placed under cover and kept
there in good condition for next years
use. This practice not only makes the
machinery last longer, but it will save
the temper next spring. If there is
ever any cause for show Of bad tenn
per let it be laid to rusty tools and ma
chimes which have stood without prop

Sheep raisers have often been warn
ed against using sisal twine for tying
deeces, but few know why this prac-
tice is harmful, says Country Gentle
man. The reason. as given by J. e.
Wing, is that small bits OF fiber get
into the wool and, mot taking dyes,
must be picked out by hand. This
occasions loss Of sometimes as much
as cents per pound, which must
eventually come from the producer,

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Seed Corn Selection.

Seed corn should be selected from
stalks that mature just before the ay-
erage time of the first frost. which in
Michigan occurs about Sept. Is. Corn
that natures earlier than this fails to
use all Of the growing season, while
that which ripens later is injured. @
Some farmers select seed ears by re-
moving them from the standing stalks,
but a number of progressive corn
growers and some investigators, IN
deed, now hold to the opinion that
corn that is to be used for seed should
be allowed to remain on the stalk until
husking time and offer the reason that
corn removed from the stalk at an
earlier period is lacking in vitality. In
case this practice is followed each ear
selected is marked by tying upon it a
bright string. The stalks bearing these
marks are cut and shocked with the
balance of the crop, and at husking
time the marked ears are saved by
themselves. A. Jeffrey, Michigan

Poultry on the Farm.

To make poultry profitable on the
farm it is necessary to breed for bet
ter laying. This is done by installing
trap nests in the henhouses and each
year picking out the best layers and
breeding only from such. The farmer
must grade up his stock; he must get
rid of the mongrel birds; he must
drive out the drones and must encour-
age the workers. The farm must pro-
duce better poultry and more Of it.
There are advantages on the farm
for poultry raising that the poultry
man does not have, and IL the latter,
in many ways handicapped, can make
poultry keeping successful bust
ness the farmer should at least make
the work a valuable adjunct to his In
