Johnny Defines Good Boy.

A distinguished visitor was making
short address to the Sunday school
Il am glad to see so many nice
boys and girls assembled here today"
he began. You are the kind of boys
l like. You know there are several
kinds OF boys. There are boys that
are always punctual at school always
have their faces and hands washed,
always know their lessons and never
play hockey. We call they good boys.
Then there are the boys that like
to torture cats and rob birds nests
and bully boys that are smaller than
themselves and steal apples from the
grocery stands and smoke cigarettes
and all that sort of thing. These we
call bad boys. Yes, there are several
kinds OF boys. Now perhaps you can
tell me what kind of boys 60 to

Up went Johnny's hand like a fash.

visitor. smiling complacently and nod
ding his head at Johnny, what kind
OF boys go to heaven?"

Nervousness and Exercise.

When there is a lack OF sufficient
exercise there is general weakening
OF the organs of digestion. All food
needs a certain amount of oxygen
mixed with 1t during the process OF
digestion, and oxygen is deficient in
the blood of inactive persons.
The nerves suffer from want OF pure
oxygen. They run like a network all
through the skin, and when they are
overweight the skin is apt to be dry
and colorless. Walking is an excellent
tonic for the nerves. 1t gives them
strength to control themselves.
Exercise combined with fresh
air may be obtained in regular daily
walking. for 1t is the good friend, as
II were. OF all those organs OF the
body that have to do directly with
making good, clear skin and rosy
complexion.
II one has means of leisure. there
are plenty Of other more enjoyable
exercises. But few forms are SO bene-
fetal as the regular daily jaunt OF
four or Eve miles for obtaining a good
complexion

.SIL0 HAS MANY ADVANTAGES
EnsIisae Is Nearest and Most Econ
omlcal Substitute for Pasture
Grass, Ideal OF Ratlons.

An Ohio farmer, who has used en-
silage for number of years, sums up
the advantages which he gains, as
follows:
Il would say that every stock far
mer should have a silo for the fol-
lowing reasons:
"First-Because corn ensilage is
the nearest and most economical sub
stitute for pasture grass, which is the
most ideal of all our ratons.
"Second-That an acre OF corn en-
silage yields from 600 to 1000 pounds
more nutrients per acre than any 9TH
er of the farm crops.
"Fourth-That its use makes 1t
more pleasant to feed stock and also
saves great deal of time and labor.
"Fifth-Because with its use in the
winter ration, larger gains and milk
flow are the result.
"Sixth-With its use, practically
the entire food value of the corn crop
is saved.
"Seventh-That the silo enables the
farmer to keep double the number Of
head of stock on the same farm.
"Eighth-That our fields are cleared
and ready for fall wheat or rye, as all
our corn stalks are safely stored In
our silo instead of going to waste in
the field.
"Ninth-And lastly and probably
the most convincing OF all, is the fact
that practically every farmer now u.s.
ing the silo would not do without 1t.
When we can grow and store away
for winter use a food that takes the
place of our pasture and that food
can be raised on our farms at less
cost than any OF our present feeds. the
equipment for the storing of such feed
should be installed on every stock and
dairy farm"

CANTILEvER BRIDGE OF LOGS
Interesting Structure Built by the
British Columbia Indians Over
the BuIkeley River.

Some interesting examples Of In
dian ingenuity are afforded on the
River Skeena and its tributaries in
North British Columbia. These wa
terways in their upper reaches flow
very swiftly and for the most part
through deep ravines. AS 1t is i'm.
possible for the Indians to cross them
by means of canoes they have resort
ed to bridging.
These bridges are interesting struc-
lures from the engineering point of
view, inasmuch as the cantilever prin-
ciple is adopted. A bridge of this de-
sign spans the Bulkeley river where
It is about 100 feet wide, and the
height from the bridge to water level
is about so feet.
1t Is built Of wooden logs, the legs
OF the structure being formed of sim
gle stout logs varying from 60 to 80
feet In length. The task of lowering
them into position must have de-
manded considerable ingenuity on the
part of the builders.
They are buried about Is feet at
their lower ends and anchored by the
superimposition of masses OF large
rock rolled and carried to the site.
The longitudinal members of the
shore spans are similarly buried In
the ground and dashed to the ends
Of the diagonal legs.
These main members. correspond
ing to deck Orders, are about 100
feet in length, and to either end the
A members Of the superstructure are
lashed. Elaborate cross bracing is
resorted to in order to secure greater
strength.
When the bridge was first erected
the different members were simply
secured together by willow thongs,
but when the British Columbian gov
eminent erected a more substantial
suspension bridge lower down the
river the Indians assembled and fol-
lowed the white mans operations with
great interest. They observed how
the thick wire cables were slung and
anchored. and accordingly decided to
introduce wire into their own struc-
ture.
They procured the material for this
purpose from wherever they could
and introduced II in a most fantastic
manner. Also when the Grand Trunk
Pacific railway engineers commenced
working on their track near by the
Indians procured odds and ends, such
as bolts and spikes, from them for
introduction in their bridge, 80 that

work, though the fundamental CONT

RuskIn as a Grocer.

he opened a shop in Paddington

on the subdivision, large orders being,

Ruskin complained in Fors Clavigera
that "the poor only like to buy their
tea where It is brilliantly lighted and
eloquently ticketed. and as resolute-
ly refuse to compete with my neigh
boring tradesmen either in gas or rhet-
ORIG, the patient subdivision of my
parcels passes little recognized as an
advantage by my uncalculating pub
lie" The shop soon closed down and

They were ~uIys" and "Mrs. G."

Mrs. Grant had no secretary to at
tend to her correspondence, the great
bulk of which was referred to the
office for action. She used to receive
an enormous number Of appeals for
help, for charities, for assistance, in
aid Of almost every cause that could
be imagined. Being a warm-hearted,
sympathetic woman, some Of these
appeals made a strong impression
upon her. 1 can remember several
instances when Mrs. Grant requested
her husband to give this person or
that position that was asked for. or
to accede to some other request of
like nature. She always called the
president "Ulys," and excepting upon
the most formal occasions, he always
addressed her as Mrs. G. Both the

INJURIOUS FLAvORS IN MILK
and Second Largely Caused by
Contamination.
By B. F. KAUPP. PatholoEist. Co

CBy B. #. KAUPP. Pathologist, Colo
RADIO Agricultural Conege)
The abnormal or injurious fiavors
In milk are of two kinds; first, those
due to feed eaten by the COW; second
those due to contamination.
The first kind is scientifically spok-
en- OF as feed fiavors and is due to the
cow eating large quantities of turnips,
onions, ensilage, beets, ragweed, etc.
This Ill flavor is due to volatile oils
contained In the strongly favored
feeds. Such fiavors leave the animal
through the different secretions and
excretions Of the body.
When feeding is done Immediately
after milking. these feed favors
largely pass off through other chan
nels, or secretions. than the milk and
are not noticeable. 1t is also main
tanned that II some rough forage be
fed along with such feeds that pro
duce Ill tastes in milk, It assists IN
obviating such flavors.
1t is within the power OF the dairy
man to obviate the second, flavor of
contamination. This class OF i'll flavor
is largely due to communicating bac-
terra. or these there are many, each
giving its peculiar flavor. Another
communicating flavor is due to the alb
sorption Of certain strong odors.
The cause of the contamination Of
milk is largely due to lack of perfect
cleanliness with the milking utensils,
surroundings, methods Of delivery and
personal cleanliness.
The udder and adjacent parts
should be washed with clean water
and wiped dry with clean, dry towel.
The hands and the clothing of the
milkman should be clean. Bottles,
buckets, ETC., should be sterilized
with live steam and turned upside
down SO as to prevent the collection
of dust, which always contains germs
and mold spores. Small top pals
should be compulsory by law.
