Calf Managers.

A form of combined stanchion and
manger for calf feeding is illustrated
in a bulletin published by the Michi-
gan Experiment Station and is recon-
mended as being very convenient. The
principle on which the stanchion is
built is not claimed to be new; the
use dates back a number Of decades,
but the especial application and adj
justment of the one hereafter deScrib-
ed presents some new features. This
particular model is produced as the
result of three years trial. having I'M
dergOne several changes since the first
one was installed. This appliance can
be adjusted so as to accommodate the
calf from birth up to twelve months
of age. The calves are confined in the
stanchions at feeding time only. After
the calf has been secured the milk
bucket is placed in the manger; when
the milk is consumed the bucket is
removed and ensilage and meal sup
piled. followed by hay. BY using this
stanchion method OF feeding the maxi

Jellies often refuse to jell when put
into large receptacles.
When frying mush dip the slices
first in the white of an egg. This
makes it crisp.
When broiling halibut cover the fish
with minced green pepper. The sea-
soning will be found to be delicious.
After washing the lamp chimney
polish it with dry salt. 1t makes the

A vanilla bean kept in the sugar box
will impart a delicious flavor to the
sugar. This is bit of advice from
a French chef
Salt thrown into the oven immedi-
ately after anything has been burned
In it will make the Objectionable odor
less disagreeable.
A fruit jar rubber slipped over the
projected end of a teapot lid will pre-
vent the lid from dancing up and down
when the kettle boils.
Grind a handful of sunfiower seeds
and give them to the canary. The
birds relish the tender pieces that are
found among the seeds.
Green grapes and elderberry make a
delicious combination for jelly. The
proportion is twice as much of the
elderberry as the grape.
When running dates, figs or raisins
through the food chopper, add a few
drops of lemon juice. 1t will do much
toward preventing the fruit from clog
ging the chopper.
a delicious salad is made from
canned cherries and pecan nuts tossed
up with a well-mixed French dressing.

A housewife who never misses an

says that she always keeps a vanilla
bean or two in her sugar jar. 1t i'm

In putting down linoleum or oilcloth
have strips of molding nailed above

Farm Notes.

1t is better to SOW rutabaga turnips
in rows than broadcast.
The best cows are the ones that the
careful dairyman raises for himself
Rotation must be practiced in the
garden or truck field to obtain the
best results.
Black Winter or Spanish radishes
should be sown in August or Septem-
Der with turnips.
1t has been said that weeds are the
devils flower" Certain it is that they
play the mischief with a crop.
For best results in the vineyard
plenty of water is necessary. During
the hot season sub-irrigation is adj

A fall crop of potatoes VIII be found

mum number of calves can be kept in
a minimum amount of space in a
clean, healthy, thrifty condition, pro-
viding they are given access to out

the four calf pens in the dairy barn,
including manger space is 10 feet three
inches by IL feet three inches. Each
pen accommodates eight calves up to
five or six months OF age. The average
size of two pens in the grade herd

an equal amount to cover the expenses
of the donkey engine necessary to re-
move the roots when the main body
of the stump has been shattered.
Clearly such a costly process can not
be used for agricultural purposes in a
heavily timbered country.
Such was the situation when, three
years ago. an enterprising farmer con-
ceived the idea of burning out the
stumps by forced draft After many
experiments he finally got a 4 horse
power donkey engine, attached g.
inch American blower, and over this
he fitted a tin case with twelve tubes
leading from it, To these he attached
pieces of garden hose and to the ends
iron pipe. Then he bored hole in
the stump, and, dropping in a live
coal, inserted a pipe and started the
engine. In a few moments the hole
was aflame, and soon a dozen stumps
were blazing, although it was the wet
season and the monsters were sodden
with water.-Technical World.

Dream Book of Modern Science.

Modern science is writing a dream
book of its own to take the place of
the unauthorized and mischievous

Bruce in an interesting article in Sue

Science. of course, does not assert
that oil dreams are significant. A
good many dreams-and especially the
commoner dreams of falling. flying,
and the various forms of nightmare
merely testify to some trifying dis
turbance of the physical organism OF
the dreamer This has long been rec
ognized, and the text books are full
of anecdotes showing how dreams may
be made to order, so to speak.
One experimenter, by tickling a
sleeper's nose, caused him to dream
that tar was being plastered over his
face and then violently pulled off,
causing agonizing pain; uncovering
his knees gave him a dream of travel
ing in a stage coach in the dead OF
winter and suffering frightfully from
the cold; putting a hot water bottle
to his feet made him dream that he
was walking over the lava of an active
volcano.
But while approaching the incense
quential character of dreams induced
by such means, as also by indulgence
in late suppers, the cramping of a
muscle through lying too long in one
position, or the slipping off of the
bedclothes, science insists that there
are times when even the most trivial
of dreams may be profoundly porten
tous.

that We should be cautious in labelling
a severe pain as hysterical. Pain due
to toxic influences may battle us I'M
less we make diligent inquiry of the
patient and his friends. Sciatica
should be carefully scrutirized, since
a condition that seems simple may
be caused by pressure OF malignant
growth. Pain in the abdomen may
come from the kidney instead of the
appendix, and it requires careful
search to know whether pain comes
from the kidney, gall bladder or APP
pendix. Pain of ataxia may stimulate
some of these conditions. Pain in
angina pectoris is severe and charac-
teristic; when combined with in
creased blood pressure and ashy lips
