Banks IN WHISPERS
Dog of Pedigreed Stock Does
Everything but Talk.
Scotland Yard Chief Has Clever
Canine Which Does Work of Serv-
ant and Protects Master From
All Annoying Intruders.

London.-Superinte Frank
Forest, chief of the criminal depart
ment of Scotland Yard. believes he
England. He is a sheep dog, named
Teddy, who is 3 years old, weighs 65
pounds and comes from fine pedigreed
Somersetshire stock. Teddy has been
with Mr. Forest since puppyhood.
Every morning Teddy meets the letter
carrier and takes the mail for the en-
tire household and carries it to Mr..
Forests bed. Next he goes to the IL
brary, stands on a chair, gets the su-
perintendent's gold spectacles and
takes them to the bed. When the
superintendent finishes reading his
mail he has but to say, Teddy, l
think I will get up" and the dog i'm
mediately brings his slippers.
The dog is so intelligent that it
only required a few minutes of in
stTuction to teach him to bark in whis-
peTs when he wanted anything inside
the house. But it is as police dog
that Teddy especially excels. Every
night before the superintendent re-
tires he says:
Teddy, is everything all right in
the house?''
The dog goes in and out OF every
room and returns to his master. re-
porting conditions to be all right by
wagging his tail. If anything doesn't
exactly suit him he pulls his masters

Teddy is very strict on conventional
introductiOns. He seems TO fnstinc,
lively realize that his master leads a
danger-beset life. and Teddy is con
stantly on guard against attack. No
matter to whom the superintendent
is talking, the dog lies between his
legs, alert and ready. He takes moth
ing on trust until he is told by his
masted that everything is all right.
Anyone who tries to pat the dog is
repulsed with barred rangs and growls
until the superintendent says: Ted.
dy, this is friend of mine" Then
the dog permits himself to be han
died.
At Scotland Yard Teddy knows ev-
cry room in the building and mani
tests his wishes to enter any particu-
lar one by standing on his rear legs
and shaking the door handle with his
front paws until he is admitted. It is
more difficult for a stranger to ap-
proach the superintendent home in
Hampstead that to gain access to
buckingham palace. The superinten-
dent'says Tedy can do everything but
talk.

Oil Meal Valuable in a Hog Ratior


Ration No. / is particularly suited
for swine from weaving time until
the animals have reached weight Of
$50 20 800 pounds If <7eding for mar
ket, supply them all the ear corn they
will clean up in addition. If fed lib
orally on the slop ration, young pigs
will seldom eat too much corn. Dis
order comes from feeding corn unmix-
ed with a suficiency of other feeds.
Animals being developed for breeding
purposes should not be fed corn in ex-
cess of the ration. or crowded as hard
as those prepared for early market
An excellent feature Of this ration is
the fact that it contains reasonable
mixture of standard grains. TIE oil
meal specified in each ration is i'm
portant and serves a double function.
In mixing the slop q : preparing the
feed, it forms a sort Of Jelly with tie
water and gives the c1tire mixture q
consistency and uniformity that can
not otherwise be obtained. Without
the use of oil meal in the sIop, the
other feeds, will rapidly settle to the
bottom Of the barrel and the slop will
be thin on top and thick at the bot
tom. It also serves an important
function in the animal body, by reg
ulatfng the digestive organs and i'm
parting a quality to the skin and hair
that cannot otherwise BE- secured

these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 70 feet of human
bowels, which is really sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing bihousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have a clear

now being sold for the reason that they

Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigo1ate instead of weaken; they en-

it; they enable the stomach to get all

duced in addition to the grains used
in Ration No. 1. It gives the ration
! more bulk and tends to increase it's
laxative effect.
Ration No. 3 is especially useful for
feeding small pigs during a short pc
Rod just before and after the weaving
time. When supplemented with warm
skim milk, young pigs take to it very
readily. If it is desired to wean pigs
early. in order to breed for fall lit
tiers, the ration should be carefully
prepared to suit their needs. It is
very important to avoid stunning lit
tie pigs, for growth once checked
proves permanent and means loss of
profit. 1t is the practice in the uni
versity herd to begin feeding small
quantities of this ration to pigs about
four weeks old and continue for two
weeks. If desired they can then be
weaned and by the seventh or eighth
week put entirely onto the growing
ration.

1t is well understood that animals
under different conditions and ages
require different kinds of feed. Three
well tried rations are in use in the
university herd for the feeding of
swine at various ages. These rations.
supplemented with skim milk when
available. have proved ideal The
only objection to them is that they
are perhaps too expensive for long
continued feeding. Many substitu-
lions can be made from the various
feeding stuffs to cheaper these ra-
tions, but the qualities of their in
gradients must first be understood.
The following rations are compiled
on the basis of 100 pounds mixed feed
and fed as a thick slop:
