A Dog NewSboy.

A shepherd collie delivering news
papers with clOck-WOrk regularity
and performing many other bust
nesslike acts, is a familiar sight up
on the streets of Rockville Centre,
Long Island. Spot in company
with his young master, covers a
large territory and so accurate,
courteous and dependable is this
pair of hustling newSdeaiers that
patronage may be said to increase
by leaps and bounds.
Early every morning the boy and
dog start out with a big bundle of
papers. Sometimes the boy rides
bicycle, but generally the rounds
are made on foot. The dog takes
the papers as they are handed to
him and knows just where each is
to 90. Trottting through gates and
often jumping fences to make short
cuts he depoSites the papers care
fully upon the dOOrsteps and hur-
ries back for more work. He has
also learned to meet the train that
brings the papers and to pick out
the packages addressed to his mas
ter and carry them IT, store block
and a half away. Spot thoroughly
understands the business and so
capable has he become that it
would now be impossible for his
master to do all the work without
his assistance.
In the afternoon Spot mingles
with the boys and especially enjoys
the game of baseball He chases
fouls. guards the boys coats and
always insists on fair play.--Dumb

The Millionaire's Wav.

The young man waited for the
milliOnaire's reply,
Il dou't blame you for wanting
to marry my daughter" said the
latter And now, how much do
you suppose you and she can wor-
ry along On?"
The youth frightened up.
"I-I-think." he cheerfully
stammered, that 100000 we'll in
vested would produce a sufficient
income"
The millionaire turned back to
his papers.
Very Sell." he said. Il will give
you 100000 providing you raise a
similar amount"

On the Farm

The toad is the gardeners friend.
A man with a large family can
live better on the farm, where
money grows.
When you don't know just what
to do, 90 in and have a good talk
with your wife.
Save your metal roofing by giving
it a good coat of paint, and do it
before it is too late.
Rubbish and brush in the orchard
yet? Gather and burn at once, and
thus destroy harboring places Of in
sect, fungi and other pests.
Steady, now! Don't rush into
the spring work like house afire"
Take things easy until man and
beast get accustomed to the strain.
There is no better time than now
to get geese eggs. Set them under
a hen allowing her five eggs, which
are about all she can conveniently
cover.
No fowl is so hard to doctor as a
turkey. A secret of success with
turkeys lies in avoiding inbreeding
A little turk debilitated at the start
by inbreeding has a poor chance
for its life.
Pick off, and burn, all "mummied
fruits on peach, plum or other trees
thus destroying the spores of brown
rot and other fungus diseases which
winter over on these dried.uI
specimens
Too many trees of one variety
alongside one another is not the
best way to plant them. Mix then
up, then they will pollenize one
another better and give you choice
fruit and more Of it.

WHEN YOUR WIFE FAINTS
New Method of Resuscitation More
Effective Than Usual Way OF APP
plying Friction.

When my wife faints. which is
miserab1y often, I do not apply fric-
ton in the usual absurd way-rubbing
backward and forward, which must
alternately check and accelerate the
passage of the blood-but taking hold
of one of her hands with my left hand
/ place the thumb and finger of my
right hand tight around her wrist and
pass them firnly up toward her elbow.
Having brought them back loosely
to the wrist I pass them firmly up
again, and when l have repeated the
operation two or three times, some
times on both arms, have the pleas
ure OF hearing the ejaculation, Il feel
better no." When I first had recourse
to this means of resuscitating my lady
she exclaimed instinctively on two
different occasions, without being at
all aware that had had any particu-
lar intention, "Oh, that is what seem
to want"
From the invariable and immediate
effect of this mode of friction I f1atter
myself that it is not unworthy the no
tice Of the medical practitioner in the
friction of cholera patients, a process
which should be much oftener resort
ed to and more energetica1ly persisted
in than it generally is--Letter to the
Lancet.

with the strain of the campaign, any
way, and the occurrences of this last
night had almost Frustrated him.
There was ordinarily nothing much to
be done on the next day, the Monday

meeting was scheduled for Monday
night. and that was all.
1t was perhaps nine o'clock when
he woke up. He was soon bathed and
dressed. He had signaled, as was his
custom, at the proper time for the
serving of his simple breakfast. It
was ready for him when he entered
the dining room. Somes was there
in attendance as usual. A pile of
morning papers lay on the buffet

checked himself

my breakfast by reading what the

Beg pardon. SIR began Somes
deferentially; but aren't you going to
look over the papers. sir. before you
eat?"
NO, thank you, Somes. I can guess
pretty well what they will say
But Somes was unusually per
sistant as well as greatly agitated.
He had been up early and had read
every scrap in every paper.
I hope you'll excuse me, Mr.. CORN

it'll add to your appetite If you will
at least look over The Planet, sir"

would, that his letter and the accom-

page. He had scarcely glanced at it
when Somes re-entered the room. if
possible in greater agitation than ever.
Beg pardon, sir" he began, his
usual method of address.
Well, what is it?"
There's two people in the drawing
room asking to see you
"But I thought I gave you orders
not to admit anybody, to tell eyerv-
body that l would see them at the

Yes, sir, you did, sir. But I couldn't
very well keep these people out"

Gormly looked at him curfousIv
There was so much excitement and
nervousness in the mans manner. and
yet it seemed to be a rather cheerful
excitement, too. that 1t seemed to
presage something of Importance. At
any rate, after moments reflection
the merchant decided from the
strangeness Of the situation that he
would see the people mentioned.

THE HOMOGENEZER
An Interesting Recent Dairy
Machine Invention
BY EUGENE FL. MAILER
Wisconsin COLLEGE of Agriculture
GcGN%MNS2ENANsNMNsNNNSA

One Of the most interesting inYen-
lions of recent years in dairy machin-
cry is the homogenizer. It has been
in use in France and Germany for
about ten years. It is now coming into
use in the United States, because our
hotels and ice cream factories are
using the machine more extensively.
The homogenizer converts cream
which has a low percentage of fat into
cream which to all appearance and
taste, has q much higher fat content.
The fact is, however, that the per
centage of fat Is exactly the same. On
first thought, one might object to be-
ing deceived in this manner, but after
further consideration one will find no
reason for complaint. The homogen-
lied cream tastes exactly like the
cream with a larger percentage of fat.
and has approximately the same food
value as the richer cream. Further
more, the cream which has been homo
genized is much more easily digested.
This advantage counteracts the disad
vantages of a low fat content.
The homogenizer causes the cream
to appear richer owing to the fact
that when it has passed through the
machine the large fat gIobules are di-
yided into very small uniform glObules
which do not move about freely in the
cream. These small uniform fat par
ticles make the cream viscous and pre-
vents 1T from rising TO the top as it
does in ordinary milk. Another effect
of the division of the globules is to
create a greater exterior surface On
the mass Of the small particles than
exist on the mass of larger particles.
1t is obvious that if a large globuIe
is divided into two smaller globules
the sum of the exposed surfaces of the
smaller ones will be greater than the
exposed surface of the larger. Because
Of the greater exposed surface, the
friction of the fat globules is consider
ably increased, and this increase in
friction improves the whipping and ice
cream qualities of the cream enorm-
ousIy. This, in brief, is how the homo
genizer transforms cream from a
poorer to apparently high grade.
The dairy department at the univer-
s1ty has been experimenting with the
homogenizer for the past few months.
A great deal Of interest has been
manifested in the machine; in fact, so
much that several students are carry
ing on investigations with it for their
master thesis. The department has
found the interesting fact that an

homogenizer appears and tastes like a

cream becomes so yiscOus that it can
