EFFECT OF THE CATS PRESENCE.

An interesting story, told by dean
Schneider of the Cincinnati College Of
Engineering, indicates that there may be
a use for the cat which has never be-
fore been realized. IN discussing the
deadening effects of automatic work in
which the brain takes no part, he relates
that in a certain piano factory a number
of-girls were employed in work requiring
the closest application and on the piece
plan. They were the most disconnected
employees in the firm and were constant
ly shifting to other occupation. Various
means to attract them were used, such
as rest rooms and decorated surround
ings but without success. As a last re-
sort the foreman got q fine big Maltese
cat and placed it in the room one morn
ing before the girls arrived. This ended
the trouble. Every now and then the
eat would jump into a girls lap, and
take her attention from her work for q
few moments. The effect of this was to
compel rest periods, relieving the tension
OF high speed, and permitting the elimi-
nation of fatigue at certain intervals

coop of Mikes Blues" (Pit Games),
and, with honesty beaming in his cOun-

itOrs, Il do not believe q cock on earth

Mikes enthusiasm ought to make him
a success in the breeding of Pit Games,
but he could probably see nothing wOr-
thy mention in the finest specimen
of the best of the utility breeds.
In the selection of a breed, an i'm

what to expect OF the breed. If the
object is to raise flyers, certainly none
Of the smaller breeds should be Sc
lected, while, on the contrary, if eggs
alone are to be considered. the larger
breeds should be avoided, if the flock
is kept for profit and not alone to in
dulge a fad.
As matter Of fact. there is not a
great deal Of difference in the number
of eggs different breeds viii lay, but
there is a difference in the feed they
consume, the feed bill being largely
in proportion to the weight of the
flock.
Again, most people raising poultry
on a Sllall scale inquire on having d
supply Of both poultry and eggs. To
such we would recommend any one of
the American breeds or Orpingtons,
and one will do about as well as an
other. They all seem to me about as
good as could be made, the deciding
question being one Of color. and in this
you have a wide range. practically all

please your fancy, take care Of them
and success is yours. though probably
you will never have a hen to lay 25O
eggs ina year. The feat is sometimes
accomplished. though the large ma

q INCE the poultry show quite a
wave of enthusiasm has struck
this section along lines of poultry
breeding, and great impetus has been
given the poultry industry scores OF
times the question has been asked
What breed of chickens would you
advise me to get?' This is a hard
proposition on which to advise. If YOU
were a boy or a httIe glrI 1 might say
Bantams, for certainly nothing can
give the little folks so great pleasure
as the raising Of flock OF these dl-
minutiVes of the poultry tribe and
with good stock many dollars can be
realized from them However, even
with a child, he should be allowed to
choose his own, for no boy with a love
for Brahmas or COchins in his heart
would be satisfied with bantams, and
vice versa.
Easy>to Find An Ideal Fowl.
There is such a number OF breeds OF
poultry that it is easily possible for
everyone to find his ideal fowl and that
discovered, success should be reasona-
bly, certain. On the contrary, TO work
with a breed which does not meet
ones standard Of perfection is but to
invite failure.
There is something in the rearing of
poultry which either thoroughly
arOuses a mans enthusiasm or browns
him in a sea Of dependency, and the
pivotal proposition is whether or not
he is satisfied with the breed ne mas
chosen. An experienced dlagnOStclan
can determine the question IN two
minute conversation If the breed suits
him he is enthusiastic and can hardly
tell the truth about il, and particularly
about the particular strain he is han
ding He honestly believes they are
the hardest, the prettiest and the
most prolific birds on earth. He can
tell you stories of the feats Of laying
of some of his hens which, if true,
would for all time immOrtalize both
himself and the hens, for the records
reported by these enthusiasts so far
excel all duly. attested records that
hens capable Of such performances
would sell for a small fortune for use

Nobody is charged with EARNING, but

favorite brand which insures success.

in laying and take the number OF days

{ CONTINUE TUBERCuLIN TEST
Wisconsin Farmers and Dairymen
Still Giving Doses to Cattle De-
spite Repeat of Law.

Madison.-Wisconsi farmers are
still applying the tuberculin test to
dairy cattle in spite of the fact that
the law requiring a test has been re-
pealed. This is an indication that
farmers realize the value of making
such a test Since July l, 1911, 49,
600 doses of tuberculin have been
furnished to stock owners of the state
by the State Live Stock Sanitary
Board at Madison. This tuberculin
is manufactured by the department
of agriculture bacteriology of the
College of Agriculture of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin.
The effect of the educational cam
paign carried on in Wisconsin is
shown -. the number of animals test
ed this year as compared with the
number tested in other places. In
Pennsylvania only 100000 cattle
have been tested during the past Is
years besides those brought in from
other states Many of these tests
were made at the expense of the
state. With approximately as large a
number of COWS as Wisconsin, Penn
sylvania has tested less than half as
many in Is years as Wisconsin test
ed in 1911.

ELK RIVER DAM OUT.
Flood Waters Spread Over the Ada

Elk River, Mimi, May 8.-The dam
of the Elk River Milling company at
this point went out and one corner Of
the foundation of the mill was under
mined and the big building is settling
slowly. The loss up to this time is
estimated at $4,000. A bridge above
the dam has been so weakened that
traffic is prohibited and the mill flume
has been washed doWn river.
The mill property is valued at more
than $4,000 and is owned by Massa-
chusetts capitalists. The main build
ing is frame A force of men are
working .frantically to stay the flood
with sandbags and rock and earth
and should no more rain fall for sew
eral days there is good prospect the
building can be saved.
The mill and dam are on Elk river
and the fats between them and the
Mississippi are partly flooded No
particular damage has been done ex-
cept to the mill property. The east
end Of the dam was the first to yield
under the pressure of the food waters.
The tributaries of the Mississippi are
spreading out over the country and
the main river is booming bank-full.
