Tho Crafty Spider and the Way He
Paid His Debts.

Tho Crafty Spider and the Way He
Paid His Debts.
The following fable Of the spider is
one of the folk tales Of northern Nj
geria:
A spider, It seems, had occasion to
borrow a sum Of money. A journey
round to the generously disposed
brought him 1000 cowries each from
the cat, the dog. the hyena, the leopard
md the lion. When pay day came
round, the spider remained at home to
receive the visits of his creditors In a
certain prearranged order. First came
the cat to claim repayment of his loan.
'Hush!' said the spider. II hear
noise outside. 1t is dog come to see
me. You must hide under this Gala
bash for safety" The cat was scarce
ly hidden when the dog, coming in,
made similar request for his money.
Says Master Spider, There is a cat
under that calabash. Take him and
consider the debt paid" No sooner
said than done. Just then a snuffling
and scraping were heard at the door.
The third creditor, the hyena, had ar
rived. Don't be alarmed, my dear
dog, but hide here till he has left"
And the spider hustled him under the
calabash. II smell a dog" said the
hyena, routing about. "Under that
ralabash," the spider replied. Eat him
up, and your debt is paid" The dog
paid the penalty of his simplicity, AMI
all was quiet once more. The hyena
was preparing to leave, when he heard
an ominous sound that sent him
crouching against the wall. 1t was the
pattering of the leopard's feet at the
door. "Quick! Under this calabashw
cries his host, and the hyena curls up
in the fatal cache, only to meet a like
fate from his more courageous enemy.
"My debt is repaid" said the leopard
and ran against the lion coming in. A
terrible fight ensued, for the leopard

AUTOMATIC FOOTBALL.
Actions of One Player After a Kick Il
the Head

Speaking of queer things in foot
ball" said an old player, II recall q
game that was played at Annapolis
| some years ago between Columbia and
the Naval academy teams.
"One of the men ON the Columbia
team, the quarterback and very
prominent player of the year, started
the game in good condition. but after
part Of the first half he was kicked in
the head in one scrimmage. 1t took
some time to get him around, but he
suddenly arose and gave signal. The
two teams lined up and play went
right on.
This man went through the game,
and no one noticed that anything was
wrong with him. When the game was
over and the Columbia team was on
the way back to New York in the train
this player, who had appeared to be IL
a brown study, suddenly turned to the
man next to him and asked, who won
the game-what was the scorer and
a number of other questions that made
it seem as if he hadn't been anywhere
near the field Of play.
"The players were greatly surprised
and thought perhaps the kick in the
head had hurt the man so that his
mind was affected. Later they learned
that he was unable to tell what hap
pened from the moment he got the
kick in the head until the time he re-
covered consciousness, so to speak, on
the train.
"His playing Of quarterback and his
giving of signals had been entirely au-
tomato, or, rather, subconscious. That
case was referred to frequently in the
psychology courses at Columbia. you
may well imagine. New York Sun.

The Leading Agricultural journal.

Among agricultural journals there is
one that every farmer he sping cows
should not neglect to subscribe fer. We
refer 10 Hoard's Dairyman. It is a
journal that is broad in its scope, being
unlike any other agricultural journal in
the thorough and practical manner in
which it deals with all farm problems
that concern the farmer keeping cows.
This journal has lively interest and
practical knowledge of all things about
the farm which plainly shows that its
editors are daily in the farm atmosphere
and confronted with the same question
to solve in 1.-THE practical handling of
farm that are.before every farmer hand
ling cows. From reading the paper we
learn that it has its own dairy farm of
200 acres, that is stocked with herd of
good dairy cows, and the whole man
agement OF this farm is directly under
the editorial supervision. This keeps
the editors in touch with farm condi-
tions so that they know the subjects
that the farmer wants discussed and
they know what they are talking about
when they discussed them. In dozens
OF ways Hoard's Dairyman will appeal
to one as coming closer to farm life and
farm business than any other Journal
we have seen. 1t gets right up close
you and talks good hard farm SO go
about the soils and CROP :. nd how best
to handle them; talks bout tnecows
| and their breeding ,fgiyes specia
| attention to feeds and .eeding. It does
not have prejudice or some one breed
but talks for the dairy COW wherever
she is found talks about the harm and
its arrangement. and in fact gives
fund OF good sound practical informa
ton on questions of interest to the
farmer who keeps cows few or MANY.
Hoard's Dairyman tells you the things
you want to know in way that will
| interest you. We notice il has no
fashion plates. puzzles or cheap stories
1t Is all business. 1t is published at
| Fort Atkinson, Wis, and has stood as
the dairy authority of the country for
many years. There are MANY in this
community that will want to take this
| journal, so we have secured q clubbing
rate that enables us to offer years
subscription to THE TIMES and Hoard
Dairyman both for 81. 80. Regular sub
scription price of Hoard'ss Dairyman is

watch them and untrap the birds.
Now, we believe there is a laying
type of hen just as there is a milk type
of cow or ham type OF hog.
We have studied some OF our best
layers in Leghorns and Wyandottes
and hereby give you the principles we
use in selecting layers and breeders.
They will improve your flock and save
you killing your layers for dinner, but
In this, as in everything else. you will
find exceptions.
A prime layer must have well de-
veloped, roomy body, so that the or
gans of respiration, digestion, repro
duction. circulation, urination, ETC.,
may properly perform their functions.
She must breathe well, eat well,
digest well. assimilate well, scratch
well, be well and have big bunch
Of embryo eggs to lay well.
A hen with rafting, rustling breath
is useless.
A typical layer is plump; she is mus
cular; all her cavities are covered
with meat

Shortly after his marriage, which
took place in $780, John Burns, the
British labor leader, settled down as q
journeyman engineer in Battersea and
twenty years after confessed that he
was the first engineer to make with
his own hands an electric tran

however. people did not believe that
electric traction was possible, and
Burns had to take the dynamo anC

latter round the grounds for six months
before people could be induced to be

But the people were so nervous that
although the charge was only siXpence
none of them would venture in the
newfangled invention. Then Burns was
struck with brilliant idea. He said

HOW TO SELECT THE LAYERS

A genius for research declares he
discovered GOO embryo eggs in a hen.
A hens capacity is born with her
and is her limit. Now, If her capacity
is 600 and her laying life is two and a
half years, to get them all we must
hustle her for 240 eggs year.
But 1t Is said the Asiatics only av-
erage $50 to 200 each and the Amer
lean 175 to 200 and the Mediterranean
$50 to 200 eggs per year, and a gov
eminent report declares the farm hen
lays but sixty eggs per annum.
An informant states that breeding
from trap nested females has produced
a Brahma that laid 232 eggs, a White
Wyandotte pullet that laid 242 and
a S. G. White Leghorn hen that laid
251 eggs per year.
