NATURAL ACT FOR MOTHER
Women Understand That Not Heroism
but Simply Love Prompted
Self Sacrifice.

a few days ago, in a somewhat
squa1id neighborhood, q house caught
fire. The flames shot quickly through
the litter on the floor and the untidy
array of clothing on the walls. A Wom-
an talking with neighbor ran scream
Ing to the house and without an in
stant's hesitation sprang through the
smoking doorway into what already
seemed an inferno. A moment later
she staggered out, her hands and
face b1aekened and blistered and her
clothing on fire. In her arms she bore
her baby, safe from harm.
The afternoon papers came out with
the story, printed under headlines ex-
tolIing this mothers heroism. Men
read it on street cars, and as their
eyes cleaned with the stirring of the
spirit which leaps to greet noble deeds
they said: "That woman dared to do
what most men would be afraid to do. :"
But the mothers who read 1t at home
did not think that way. Perhaps the
danger to the baby, the Wrecking Of
the home and the burns the woman
suffered brought moisture to their
eyes, but to them the act was not one
Of heroism-it was simply what any
natural mother, no matter how timid,
would do under the same circum-
stances Leader.

WORLDS BEST POLO PLAYERS
Earl of Rocksavage Pays Glowing
Tribute TO Americans Before Sail
ing for His Home.

.'In the Americans I have met the
finest players that the world knows,
and the best sportsmen," This was
the earl of Rocksavage's parting trib-
ute to the American polo players,
against whom he has been playing re-
Gently in New York. Rocksavage
sailed with F. A. Gill, another member
of the Raneligh team. He said before
embarkfng:
1.-THE last two months of polo mark
an epoch in my life. The American
players are wonderful, and it has been
my good fortune to witness feats of
horsemanship and ma1Iet work that
seemed almost incredible I am only
too keen to return next March along
with the team that will compete for
the international cup.
THE winning of that cup by the
Americans served to stimulate Eng
lish polo as nothing else could pos
sibly have done. The tactical meth
DDS of play provided a revelation to
British lovers of the sport The
Americans injected new ideas into
the game, created new ways and
means of accomplishing the old
things, and altogether have lfvened
things up in truly wonderful man
ner.
From every aspect, our visit to
America has been a most successful
venture"

dollar to hire rig, to play with them.
If they played on week days I would
lose half a day to get to play. One
day we were invited to play at Powell,

der the tutelage of Lawson Robertson,
however, Jack has developed into one
of the greatest milers in the world
and undoubtedly could go home to
England now and make cleaning
up.
Though Jack is only "a years old,
he has been running more or less
successfully since 1904. In 1906 he
won the famous Morbeth road race,
covering the distance, only a few
wards short Of Is miles. in the grand
time of 1:20:27, the record for the
course. Jack started in as long
distancer. but later found the middle
distance events more to his liking.
Monument was brought up in classy
company, but did not strike his gait
till Lawson Robertson whipped him
into condition here in New York.
Jack began to get into the limelight
early In last July. His race that
month against Abel Kiviat in New
ark, when the pair came down the
long home stretch as IL tied together,
Kiviat winning only by an eyelash IN
the last desperate drive for the Wors-
ted. made sport followers sit up and
take notice. A few DAYS later at the
junior metropolitan championships in
Celtic Park, Old Badly captured the
mile event in 4:24 3-5, not only hang
ing up new figures for a junior cham
pionship mile bat smashing the track
figures as well.
Jack suffered from boils after the
Junior championships and had to go
up on the Maine coast TO recuperate.

FEEDING RACK FOR ALFALFA

A large number of successful farm
ers feed alfalfa hay IN the ground,
claiming that hogs are almost GER
tain to pull the hay out OF racks and
eat it from the ground more or less
anyway. In cold weather when the
ground is frozen or when the yard
is dry, there would seem to be no seri-
ous objection to feeding alfalfa in this
manner. Hogs are less delicate in
their choice of food than other farm
animals and are inclined to eat the
hay though it has been somewhat
soiled. If. however, the ground is
soft there is certain to be a consider
able waste, due to the fact that some
Of it is trampled into the mud.
At the Nebraska experiment farm
alfalfa hay is fed to hogs from an or
binary sheep rack. having vertical
Stats about three inches apart. just
wide enough to permit the hogs to
reach the hay. These racks stand
about four feet high and are approx
mately three feet wide at the top and
eighteen inches at the N"'f"m. The

AS hogs are quite notably affected
by extremes of cold and heat, the
character of their shelter will have
much to do with their successful
rearing. The above being true, we
will naturally do best with hogs when
we have arranged their home and
feeding grounds, to a certain extent,
at least, such as he would choose for
himself III his wild state, writes j. E.
Bridgrlen in American Agriculturist.
Proper shelter is no doubt the first
and most serious question, and while
the perfect hog house has not up to
date been invented, great improve
ments have been made during the
past few years.
The accompanying illustrations
show a hog house that is we'll adapt
ed to almost every climate, except
the extreme south. AS shown by the
floor plan, the house is 2Sx62 feet
square, and 10 feet to the caves. The

The Value of Skim Milk.

So many people labor under the
impression hat skinned milk isn't
good for much in the household. This
prejudice is due to a lack of knowl.
edge of the food value of skim milk.
The chief elements in milk are fat,
casein, or curd, water, sugar and min.
eral matter. Whole milk is a perfect
food, and when the fat is removed by
Swimming, all the other valuable pOr.
tons of the milk are still there. All
the curd which promotes growth, is
left in the skim milk. Mothers of
large families who must economize.
will find this milk a great food for
the children. A pitcher of skim milk
on the table, if cold, is very refresh
ing, and most certainly wholesome.
AS a food it is lacking of course in
and butter, fat of meat, cheese and
such foods, the lack is supplied.
Skinned milk is valuable in cookery.
In the old days, cooks used skim milk
and preferred it for the Indian pud-
dings. The suet supplied the fat. To-
day there are few who can resist one
of the old-fashioned puddings. In the
preparation of cream soups, skim milk
may be used with butter, which is al
ways added to the flour for binding
and supplies the fat taken off in the
cream.
For bread making, skim milk may
be used instead of whole milk and wa
ter. White sauces for escalloped
dishes, also rice and tapioca buildings

ThinQs Worth TryinQ,

Any dish calling for mixed spices
will be found much improved by mix
ing and keeping ready for use the fol-
lowing spices: Two tablespoonful Of

braska. The rack has been used by
several we'll known farmers in the
state and all who have tried it seem
we'll pleased. owing TO the simplicity
of it's construction and the fact that
there is little waste of hay. 1t is
made by using 3O-inch wire fence in
verified so that the larger openings will
be at the bottom. 1t is desirable to
use fencing made of heavy wire and a
rectangular mesh is preferred to the
diamond shaped mesh. These racks
are usually made about three feet wide
at the top and about IL inches wide at
the bottom. They can be made
OF any desired length up to 16 feet,
depending upon the number of hogs in
the pen. They are also light in
weight and can be moved from one
part of the yard to another without
difficulty.
