MAKE TIE FOR cow HUMANE
Much Approved of Continuance for
Fastening Stock is Described-Don't
Have Rigid Stanchion.

There are many contrivances for
fastening the COW in the stall. Do not
be cruel enough to have the rigid
stanchion. The swinging stanchion is
being installed in many stables, and
is greatly liked. The upright iron bar
with the sliding ring and chain, in
the opinion of many breeders OF high
priced cattle, is the easiest and best
kind of tie. A later form of chain tie.
which is an improvement on the old
style, calls for a bar on each side of
the stall, and ring on each bar with
a chain on each ring. These two
chains are joined in the center by a
ring to which is attached the chain
which goes around the cows neck.
The bars are short and should be
placed with their lower end about
eighteen inches from the floor. The
side chains should be slack enough so
that when not attached to the cow,
the center will hang eight or ten
inches from the floor. This tie gives
more liberty than the stanchion, and
does not interfere with the cow when
rising. These ties may be easily made
out of the old chains by the village
blacksmith. The iron bars should be
bolted to the sides of the stalls.

BREEDS NEW KINDS OF FLIES
Columbia Professor Gets Curious Re-
sults In Mutations Of Form
and Color.

Some curious results have been OBJ
tanned by Prof. T. H. Morgan of Co
lumbia university in the production
of mutations of form and color by
culture and breeding of the "fruit
fly" Drosophila ampelophila. By
subjecting flies, pupae, larvae and
eggs to the influence of radium rays,
Professor Morgan produced one fly
which had "beaded" wings. BY sub
sequent breeding other flies with sim
liar wings were produced, and after
many generations a stock has been
developed that frequently gives, in
reproduction, hundred per cent. of
beaded wings. Other changes pro-
duced and handed down from gene
ration to generation include the
shortening of the normally long
wings of these flies until in some
cases they have become relatively very
short and truncated. From some of
the truncated-wing stock flies have
been developed which have only tiny
scales instead of wings. Changes
have also been developed in the color
and marking of the wings and the
color of the eyes. Many may Won
der whether it would be possible to
experiment with the house fly and
breed both wings and legs out of ex-
istence.-Youth's Companion.

AS TO "ROOK."

The rock appears to have become
the bird whose name stands for swim
dlers in a distinctly unfair way, the
London Chronicle says. At first
crook" meant a dupe, then the verb
"to rock" came TO mean to cheat,
and out of this was evolved crook,
a chcater complete topsy-turvy
process. 1t is curious that the same
thing has not happened to "gull."
Here also the verb came from the
substantive meaning a dupe, and, as
the gull strikes one as rather a know
ing bird, one might have expected
the same evolution as in the case of
the rock. 1t should be observed,
however, that gull" a dupe did not
refer specially to the Seagull, the
word having formerly meant a
young bird of any kind. In Eliza
bethan English it signifed a callow
youngster who wished to be thought
smart.
