Selden says that kissing the thumb
was characteristic Of servility. The
clergy, the rich and the great, were in
receipt of this honor from tradesmen.
From remotes times the practice of
licking the thumb has been regarded

If a breeder keeps within the lines
of his own breeding year after year.
he soon has a stock adapted to his
system. If he goes out regularly for
new blood he is constantly introduce
ing blood of stock adapted to other

Plan to Use Electric Heat.

Several towns in Norway and Swe-
den have recently taken steps toward
the general Introduction OF electric
heating, to replace the use OF stoves
burning coal or wood. Few buildings
in these places have central heating
systems, and the tile stoves now gem
orally used could easily be adapted to
receive electric heaters. The cleo
trio current will be supplied by the
public plants, which are generally run
by water power.

We must furnish our hens with

the quantity must be about right Of

they will have to use 1t all for body

BREEDING for Market.

OF course, If you are going in for
