Fun Alive.

This game requires eight large cards
called game cards. and forty smaller
ones called forfeit cards" and can be
played by any number of persons.
The game cards are all blank except
one, called the "catch card" on which
the words Fun Alive are printed in
large letters On each of the forfeit
cards is printed or written some forfeit
or stunt" to be performed. The for
felt cards are spread in the middle of
the table. face downward. and the
game is begun by one player taking the
cards. shutting them and holding them
to his left hand neighbor. who draws
one.
If it be the catch card he must at
once draw a forfeit card from the Ia
BILE and Immediately proceed to do
whatever 1t directs without reading it
aloud. Then the player who has
drawn takes the cards. shufles again
and presents them to his left hand
neighbor. who draws and proceeds as
before.
When a player draws a blank game
card he draws no forfeit card. and the
next player on the left draws at once
without reshuffling. and so on till for
felt card is drawn. The game may go
on indefinitely.

FEED AND CARE OF
The DAIRY HEIFER,
Method Of Developing the Fu-
ture Milk Producer.

One Of the first things we do In
handling the dairy heifer is to get on
intimate terms with her, teaching her
to have the halter slipped on and cur
rying, brushing and petting her all
over the body and down the legs to
her very hoofs. writes Mr.. Coverdell
In the Farm Journal.
In this way she becomes accustom
ed to being handled. which will save
breaking her in when she drops her
first calf. 1t also makes it an easy
matter to lead her away from the
for any reason it is desired to move
her around.
We also teach the heifer by practice
to be approached from either side. so
that she may be MIXED on the left as
well as the right side This not only
saves time and makes it much more
convenient when she becomes COW.
but we have seen the time when it
would have saved milkman from
getting his shinS bruised by acciden-
tally stepping up on the wrong side
of a cow
The dairy heifer also should be fed
practically the same rations as the
dairy COW. thus getting her milking
machinery In proper working order at
an early date. If she is neglected or
given improper feed at this period one
cannot expect her to develop into a
heavy milk producer when she reaches
maturity.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
CROSSING Dairy Breeds.

The thought is often entertained tnat
there would be advantage in crossing
the different breeds of dairy cattle. IL
ia not unusual to hear some one say
that he would cross Holsteins with
Jerseys If he were going to use dairy
blood The fact is that there is no al
vantage, generally speaking. in cross
ing the different breeds of dairy cattle.
Once in awhile a cross such as above
suggested or some other cross turns
out remarkably we'll in the case or IN
1ividual animals Good producers from
such cross are the rare exception. The
thought of crossing dairy breeds Is as
old as the hills and has been tried time
and again. with generally disappointing
results.-Kansas Farmer

ELECTRICITY Wins
Washing Race

In clothes washing contest at a recent cleo
trlcal show in Chicago, electricity won the race
against hand labor
Five pretty girls, operating electric motor
driven washing machines and wringers, raced
against six ladies of pronounced color who used
ordinary wash tubs wash boards and wrngers.
BY simple turn of the switches the girls
started the electric motors and while the ma
chimes automatically washed the Clothes the
girls spent most of their time laughing and chat
ting with the visitors. The colored women worked
their hardest to win the hundred dollars offered
if they succeeded in accomplishing one half as
much as electricity and the girls The colored
women certainly worked vigorously the suds
fyirg fast and furious, but when 'time' was
called they had not washed one-third as many
clothes as had their adversares with the motor
driven machines
The contest certainly demonstrated the vast
difference between Anticipated and modern laun-
dry methods

- Soil Protection and Fertilizers.

The leguminous crops. such as clover
and alfalfa, are not equal to grasses
as soil protectors. but are superior to
grasses as soil fertilizers. since they
increase the total available supply of
nitrogen in the soil. This is due to
the action of bacteria which are found
on the roots of leguminous plants and
which take free nitrogen from the air
in the soil and make it available for
the use of plants. Moreover. perennial
legumes, such AS clover and alfalfa,
are very deep feeders and take a part
of the mineral elements of their food
from the soil below the depth Of the
feeding ground of ordinary crops.

EGGS FURNISH HUMAN SKIN.
Surgeon Claims He Has Succeeded in
Grating Thin Membrane.

New York, Feb. 25.-Crushed fing-
ers can be made to grow and wounds
to heal without scars by grating up
on the injured members the thin
membrane taken from eggs, accord
ing to an article by DR.. Russell Bell
amy, who reports his discoveries in
the current number of the New York
Medical Journal. DR.. Bellamy is a
graduate of the medical college of
New York University. He was in
the city to-day, but left the Hotel
Plaza to go to Washington in connec-
ton with his recent discoveries.
He reports cases where the i'm
planting of the cells from the inner
skin of the egg upon mutilated fing-
ers actually caused those members
to grow and to develop healthy It's
sue. His article is illustrated with
photographs of negro patients, who,
after sustaining injuries to their dig
it's, started new growing under the
stimulus of the egg grating, and now
they have fingers of which the upper
halves are white.
''By the associating OF living cells
writes DR.. Bellamy, "and even with
apparently dead cells, I have been
able to revitalize structures and to
create new tissues, osseous excepted,
up to the time of my first work.
''In order to fructify lifeless, or to
renew lost tissues, the utilization of
a little understood animal substance
proved ideal. It now places itself as
a positive factor, and allows one to do
creative surgery. After satisfying my
self that 1 had found the necessary
cell, I can state emphatically that
these cells are the realization of the
ideal, and henceforth make creative
surgery possible
The surgeon declares that his work
is absolutely conclusive, and that in
no case is it possible to classify the
new growth as scar tissue.

The Florence Times, in discussing
the paragraph in last weeks Herald
in regard to the veto of the medical
inspection bill, sets up beautiful
man of straw which it proceeds to
demolish, and calls on us to specify
which class of parents we had in
mind. The Herald did not say the
bill "does take away the rights of
parents" We said, 'In matters of
this kind due regard should be given
the rights of parents. We represent
one class of parents, and we believe
we have right to be protected from
contagious diseases which might be
contracted by our children at school
because proper care was not exercised
by some other parents. We have
urged for years a physical examina-
ton Of all children before they enter
a public school, and this inspection
act is no new thing to us. But the
examination should be done at home
by the family physician, the parents
bearing the expense, and in cases
where the parents are too poor to
bear the expense, then let the public
funds be drawn on. But we want no
wholesale examination of children at
the school building Let the examin-
alton be made at home in all cases
and no child should be permitted to
enter school who is not sound physi-
cally or who has not bee.- successfully
vaccinated. Such measure is need
ed, but it should be common sense
law and one which can be enforced
without friction. We feel sure that
if the act had been properly drawn
it would have passed over the COVER
nor's veto, and, too, we do not believe
the governor would have vetoed an
act such as we have outlined above.

Sensitive Smith.

Under the head of "Who's Who
and Why" in the Saturday Evening
Post for Feb. "a appears an article
dealing with the "Smith Family in
Congress. The writer has divided
congress into two divisions, 'the
Smiths and the non-Smiths' in which
he deals with the five senators by that
name. The one of interest to this
particular section is that which deals
with Senator E. D. Smith, of South
Carolina. In reference to this gen
tleman the writer says:
s'Sensitive Smith is Ellison DuRant
of South Carolina And what makes
him so sensitive? asks the curious
party on my left. The woes of the
common people, dear sir-the woes
of the common people. Possessed
of tender and sympathetic spirit,
it, causes him great pain to observe
the velvet-shod feet of the criminal
rich treading on the bleeding hearts
of the PROSTATE poor, as he once OBJ
served; though it is quite apparent
the criminal rich would have achiev-
ed greater results had they worn
hob-nailed shoes. Still, the criminal
rich down in South Carolina probably
wear velvet on their aristocratlc
feet. Ellison DuRant weeps bitterly
every time he thinks of the price
of cotton and is esteemed an orator
in his section of the country. Prob
ably there is no more sensitive man
in public life than Ellison DuRant-
certainly no more sensitive Smith.
He quivers like an aspen at the mere
mention of any atrocity on the dear
people that may be perpetrated any
where-and especially in the cotton
belt. His soul revolts. And when his
soul revolts, his vocabulary re-
volves."

when it was discovered that he had
on his person a set of burglars tools
