BUNCH OF LEGS AND FEET

The farming community of Elgin.
In the north of Scotland got some
thing to gossip about the other week
when a porker was ushered into their
midst equipped with eight legs and
nine feet Three of the extra legs
grew behind the hind ones, while the
fourth grew near the tail and curved
up sharply towards the back This
leg possessed two distinct feet. Unfor-
tunately the pig did not survive to be-
come great porcine pedestrian. 1t

Clothes for MiTkinu,

Clothes which have been worn in the
fields during the day are not suitable
for milking purposes. Every mixer
should be provided with clean white
milking suit. Such clothes can be
bought ready made for less than
dollar and if frequently washed will
add in securing clean milk Mixers
should also wash and dry their hands
before milking and above all, should
keep them dry during milking. To
wet the hands with the milk is filthy
practice.

There is no wisdom in keeping poor
COWS.
Usually the good milk cow is a com.
paratively lean one.
The reliable mixer is not likely to
be without job any time soon.
Never cover milk while warm in the
| cans as it will produce a musty odor.
A neat butter package is a pretty
good indication Of conditions back OF
it.
Milk or SKINNED milk should be fed
sweet, especially when the calf is very
young.
cow should always be watered at
night just at feeding time and before
lying down.
If the mixers hands and clothes
are filthy germs are sure to get into
the milk pals.
It is better to let a calf feel hun
cry, after fed with skinned milk. II
hungry it will eat hay to which it has
access.
If you have not already set apart
some space for field pumpkins or man

mistake.
The flavor and texture of cottage
cheese may be improved by adding
cream or soft butter to the curd on
the strainer.
Cleanse the stable daily, ventilate
perfectly, screen doors and windows,
remove manure piles from the v<cin-
ity of the stable; feed fresh food each
meal
While it is some trouble to strain
the cream before churning but when
that is done there will be no white
specks in the butter.

Perhaps one reason why milk and
cream are so often not cooled enough
is because Of the work required to
pump the necessary amount of water.

Why CABBAGE DECAYS.

The recent government publication
dealing with the causes of decay of
cabbage in storage states that soft rot
and leaf blight are the immediate
causes of this decay The organisms
which cause decay gain access to the
leaf through bruises and injuries due
to the careless handling and through
leaves infected with black rot. Care
full handling in harvest and sorting out
of all bruised or infected heads will
do much toward removing extensive
loss during storage.

Destroy the Weeds.

Weeds are great moisture consum-
ers, but they do not act in conjunction
with the tile drains. To grow a pound
of weeds requires twice as much mois-
ture as it does to grow a pound of any
cultivated crop. For this reason they
should not be permitted to grow any
where where they will be cumberers
of the soil Weeds should not be per,
mitted to perfect their seeds.

EXTlNGUISHER CAUSES FIRE

One of the most extraordinary
causes of fire ever recorded has to do
with the destruction of the warehouse
OF a match company in st. Louis, in
which a sprinkler tank, provided as a
means to extinsuish fires. was the
means by which the blaze was started.
The tank supports collapsed. and the
falling tank ignited the matches. with
resultant loss of $4,000 The sup
porting structure of the tank, accord
ing to the fire reports, had been al
lowed to rust until the steel at places
was almost eaten through.

Marketing Feed.

A farmer living any great distance
from market can better afford to make
his feed into butter than to haul it to
market. He should study why the sue
cessful men are successful and find
whether it is the better stock, better
care or feeding that makes this sue
cess. If we keep the best cows they
will not eat up all Of the profits.

Artificial Rubber New Field.

Artificial Rubber New Field.
One of the most promising Of all
fields for the synthetical chemist just
now lies in the possibilities of pro-
ducing india rubber by artificial
means, or even in making the produc
ton of the natural rubber more uni
form as to grade and more in quantity
as coming from its native trees. With
in the last ten years the worlds an
nual consumption of india rubber has
averaged not far from 10000 tons
That this natural supply has been in
sufficient is proved by the showing
that prices on such quantity have
risen from $4,000 600 to more than
$3.50 100000 in the worlds markets.
Coming from several varieties of trees
IN varying climatic surroundings, the
sap handled by different primitive
methods, and the manner Of market
ing and shipping in no two places
comparable, the india rubber industry
may be improved. At the present
time there is no commercial rubber
possible to manufacture at profit
under existing laboratory syntheses.

the past couple of weeks that they
have gotten their team play into
such working order that they would
dare open their little bag of tricks.
With both teams resorting to
open play, with forward passes,
punting and trick plays in abund-
ance, the game can hardly be any
thing but spectacular and this is
the sort of game which delights a
crowd.
The teams will arrive in the city
tomorrow and will try out on the
NAT gridiron some time during
the afternoon. Tomorrow evening
the students of the two colleges
will parade the downtown streets,
and when the camel called, there
will be large numbers of students

sports, who look upon the present
upheaval, putting the democratic
party in power, as signal that the

Book making will be tabooed at

too much of a howl raised at that,
the old system of block betting may
be put into effect again, although
