Why Willie Fell.

Before Willie started for Mrs
Smiths house, where he was invited to
dinner, his mother gave him some final
advice.
Above all things" cautioned his
mother, "do not drink tea from your
saucer"
Willie promised. When he got back
home his mother inquired how he had
enjoyed himself. Willie said that he
had enjoyed himself immensely.
"I hope you did everything the way
| told you to-" said his mother.
"Yes'm, did" answered Willie
somewhat hesitatingly.
And you did not drink your tea
from your saucer"
YES, mamma, | did" replied Willie,
"but Mrs. Smith drank her tea from
her saucer first"

Things Which "ASree' with You

A little joke floating around in the
columns of the press is that Of man
who had consulted a doctor and was
doubtful of his skill because he did not
forbid him eating everything he liked.
LIS opposite, said to be true, Is of a
doctor who writes much for the public
on the subject of what to eat, or, per-
haps, more accurately, on what not to
eat. He had written the usual patter
about hot weather diet, sticking to
fruit, "a little cereal." vegetables and
water and the like, and then was OBJ
served one day with a big dish of
ham and cabbage, sausages, lobster and
ale. which he was slowing away as If
he thought it good for him. The aver
age adult is the best judge Of his own
Diet he very soon learns what does
not "agree" with him, and, knowing
this, the consequences Of eating it serve
him right If anything does agree"
eat It. If you like it.

Mrs. Lyme Wregis had not only finish

Alfalfa Meal for Chicken Feed.

A combination of alfalfa meal, beef
scraps, cut bone and few other ingre-
dients of minor Importance makes the
best feed for chicks and laying hens
that can be secured and would be more
generally used not so much labor in
volved in the preparation. As most
egg foods contain these ingredients 1t
follows that they must be valuable for
the purpose for which they are COM
pounded. With alfalfa meal a poultry
man need not hesitate about keeping
laying hens confined the year round II
necessary for the meal Is fully as val

ductiveness as the best natural grass.

There are various ways suggested to
make eve mother her own lamb or a
twin from another eve that has not
enough milk for both.
Some advise whipping the eve into
subJection. but this Is very cruel and
seldom satisfactory; When eve loses
her own lamb and it is desired to make
her tnwln another, 1t has been recon-
mended to skin her own dead lamb and
tie the pelt over the lamb that is to
be adopted.
This plan Is sometimes satisfactory
II the ewes sense Of smell is not very
keen. although IT more often fails.
Other breeders have tried tying a dog
near by, claiming that the maternal in
'stinct, of the eve will exert itself and
it will own the lamb while trying to
shield It from the dog.
Perhaps the most satisfactory meth
cd when q eve refuses to own her
lamb Is to fasten her in between hur-
dies.
This gives her a chance to eat and at
tAiN s'''ihN tiiiiC plSNclllS ueI lIOlu
Ing around to butt the lamb. In such
a position, however, the eve will often
lie down. This may be prevented by
passing light pole through the hur-
dies, resting it on the lower bars be-
meath her belly.
The eve can be confined this way
throughout the day. and if the lamb
is at all lively he will manage to get
enough to eat. The eve should always
be released at night.
A day or two Of such confinement is
often sufficient to bring an obstinate
eve to reason. Such hurdles can cas-
lily be made by any farmer, and 1t Is
we'll to have them ON hand for Just
such emergencies.

A dog in the University of Missouri
library last night was the recipient of
one of those proverbial kicks which
all dogs are supposed to get-but sell

just as all kicked dogs are supposed

much disturbance by running about
under the tables. CoaXing and drag
ging had no effect. The dog would not
leave. Then an angry student used
his right foot with the result that the
dog went 10 sleep under a table.
