Department an Aid to Housewives

Commercial industries were long
ago studied by scientific methods.
since it was found that gaining knowl-
edge by experience was much more
costly than gaining 1t by systematic
study. 1t is only lately that we have
come to realize that it Is equally
profitable to study the housekeepers'
problems.
Fifty years ago few such ques-
lions had been taken to the labora-
tory and few schools gave instruction
in such subjects. Today very many
men and women Of scientific training
have taken the home problem to he
laboratory and are finding ways OF
helping the h~ousekeeper to solve her
problems satisfactorily.
THE department of agriculture has
studied many questions which relate
to the use of agricultural products on
the farm and in the home, but per-
haps none of them has a closer re-
lation to the household than the nu-
triton Investigations Of the office Of
experiment stations, which have to do
with the use OF agricultural products
as human foods and whose object is
to help the housewife in her efforts
to provide good living at reasonable
cost, without undue labor"

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Wilson
W Is looking for bedbugs in his off,
cial and not his private capacity. Mr.
Wilson want all the bedbugs he can
get. and furthermore he is willing to
pay a fair price for them.
This is not a hobby with Tama
Jim. In fact, he has no intention of
ever coming in personal contact with
the unpopular b1peds or quadrupeds
or centipedes. whichever class they
Happen to belong to. Mr.. Wilson
wants as many of this species of the
u family as he can buy at a nickel
ap1ece-for purely experimental pur-
poses.
On the old Lewis farm, near Wen
ma, a few miles from Washington,
the department OF agriculture main
tatns an experimental farm. Every
class OF bugs that have any part what
soever in farm life are being studied
by the departments scientists.
IN the railroad station at Vienna
this sign was posted:
"WANTED-Bedbugs. Five cents
will be paid for each bedbug deliv-
cred at the office of the experimental
farm of the department Of agricul-
ture."
The farmers of Vienna intend to
call at the farm and make sure that
accommodations have been made for
the ~safekeeping of the bugs before
the expected shipments arrive. The

Turkey Trot New? Danced 500 Years in Borneo

TT WILL be news to many doubtless
i that the much-criticised turkey
trot" has been danced to the rain god
of a savage tribe in the north of Bor-
neo for more than five hundred years.
Several young women Of one of Wash
ington's exclusive circles were as
founded when Prof. Edward David
son. a Washington dancing master,
made this statement to them during
a lecture on the history Of dancing.
Professor Davidson said that the
''trot" is one of the holy OF holes
in The religion of he savage Muruts.
When there m a prolonged dry
spell these head-hunting natives per-
form the trot day in and day out until
the great rain god has heard their
The professor visited the
north Of the island several years ago
He says he saw them dance around
the image Of the god an entire night.
During the latter part OF the
eighteenth century the turkey trot
was introduced into the dancing
schools Of Italy and Portugal. and
soon everybody was doing it. In the
first part of the nineteenth century
It gradually died out.

Illustrated in the Iowa Homestead by
J. F. Forest and which he has In use

inch rod threaded and frightened with
burrs and inserted between the 5oists
above the horse, similar to a manure
carrier cable. There are awning pull
legs fastened together in a pair SO
thai one pulley runs on the three
eighths rod, and the other has q rope
run through it with two hooks tied
In 80 that there is an end OF rope
hanging below each hook. These
hooks are tied in according to the
height of the horse. one hook being
clear up to the pulley and the other
to hook into the hame ring or strap,
pull the other end of the ropes which
lifts the names clear Of the horse and
hook the other hook in hame ring or
strap. The back pad and b%reeching
are lifted in the same manner, one
hook to lift the back pad and the
other can be used above the breech-

RULES FOR BETTER BREEDING
Modern improvement OF Draft horse
Brought About by Observance
Of Principles Given.

Considering what has been said we
may next set down some simple
rules for the conduct Of our breeding
operations upon sensible. scientific
and successful lines. 1t may be said,
too, that the modern improvement
of draft horses is being brought about
by the following of these rules, and
their observance has led to the sue
cess achieved in foreign countries.
The mares chosen for draft-horse
breeding should be draft mares IN
size, weight, character and tempera-
ment. They should be sound, work
ers, over Is hands In height and not
not less than 1900 to 1900 pounds
weight in work condition. 1t wou
be best were they 1,500 pounds and
up In weight. The sire should be a
sound. prepotent. muscular, thorough
ly worked or exercised. pure-bred.

resultant progeny of the first cross,

The continental Sunday has about
as much chance in Washington as
the count would have had In the
Marathon, and SO the only way the
head of the house of Perreard could
observe the day was to sip a little
green stuff. as it filtered through a
loaf Of sugar. But all the time the
tricolor f1oated in the breeze from the
easement of the cafe.
The count could not have a public
party, and SO he had none. 1t was a
bad day for france.
And then to add to his discontinue
the rain drenched the flag Of dear old
France. And the count, looking from
his window. as the rain fell, let his
thoughts revert to the vine-clad hills
OF old France.
And the rain, falling harder and
harder, even did not spare in its tor
rental wrath the statues of the Mar
Quis de Lafayette and Rochambeau.
And the count was very. very sad.

female, it should, when the time
comes. be bred to q pure-bred sire OF
the same breed as the original sire,
and this plan of breeding should be
continued, cross after cross, until five
or six top-crosses Of the same pure
draft breed blood having been put on
the progeny is practically pure bred
of the breed used in its making.
There should never be the slightest
deviation from this plan of breeding.
Had there been in france we would
not have the modern Percherons OF
today; and mixed breeding, sue as
has characterized American opera
lions, would have absolutely prevent
ed the ~origination and perpetuation of
he Clydesdale, Shire, Suffolk or Bel
gian breeds. Selection and some mix
ing In blood had to be followed In the
early origination of these breeds, but
it is no longer necessary and now
would be r%uinous Then, too, the sire
must be sound, and throughout the
entire operation of horse breeding, as
we have seen, adequate feeding must
be the rule.

Scientists Believe There Is a Reason for Bugs

people of Vienna do not like the idea
of giving any inducements to outsid-
ers to bring bedbugs nea their vii
lage.
Some Of Uncle Sans scientists be-
lieve there is a reason for bedbugs
and If they manage to s~ubstantiate
this theory they intend to put them
to work at a more gratuitous task
than that upon which they are gener-
ally engaged.
There is a theory that most self
respecting species of bugs will have
no dealings with bedbugs-in fact.
they will not live in the same neigh
borhood.
This theory is based upon two as
SYMPTOMS. The first Is that bedbugs
are scrappers and beat up and kill
anything else that happens to cross
their way in bugdom. This theory Is
disputed by another school Of bug
ology, which holds hat bedbugs do
not prey upon other species. but that
their general characteristics are so
displeasing that other bugs eschew
them altogether.
1t is generally admitted that they
are not accepted in any circle Of bug
society.
Now the department of agriculture's
scientists have about decided which
bugs do the most damage to- fruit
trees. These experiments have been
carried on at the Lewis farms for
many months. The most deadly bugs,
as far as fruit is concerned, have been
segregated in boxes and bottles.
The bedbugs are to be introduced
to these select fruit killers and then
the scientists are going to see what
happens. .
If the bedbugs carry off the hon
ors Uncle Sam may try to induce
them to leave their present abodes for
fruit orchards.

when they will stop going and why
people don't go to church without
being "rung in in this noisy fash
ion.
AS a matter of fact. however, a full
ring of peals has never been rung in
America but once-in Philadelphia In
1S5S-and a quarter peal only has
been rung from the old Christ church
tower in Salem street, and from the
belfry of the Church Of the Advent.
These two churches are the only ones
in Boston possessing a full set OF
change-ringing bells, as they are call
ed, and these are from English foun-
dries.
The full number of peals is 5,O40,
and when rung for evening service at
the old church of Paul Revere fame in
Salem street and from the Advent tur-
rets, the neighbors in the districts,
who were not antiquarian in their
tastes, after two hours of 'pealing,'
sent vehement protests to the sections
of these respective houses Of worship
that they must stop the noise, for they
could not get the children to bed and
the vibrations were threatening to
break their windows. Such was the
popular feeling in regard to resuscitat-
ing a custom that still obtains in Eng
land and on the continent.-Boston

The clergy Of Italy. Spain and Por-
tugal made a loud outcry against the
heather dance but the physical cul-
turists and dancing masters favored
1t on the ground that it was good ex-
ercise. In the fashionable dancing
schools OF Rome 1t was all the rage
for a short time. Traces Of the tur-
key trot a be seen in the folk
dances of Switzerland. Portugal. Spain,
Italy and France.
In 1888 an Italian named Giovanni
Casini introduced the dance to San
Francisco. For a time 1t was not ap-
preciated much outside Of Barbary
Coast circles. Then it came to New
York and certain prominent dancing
masters introduced it into the Four
