HAVE BIGGEST FAMILY

The Dickey family, of Canaan, Me,
last fall established the worlds rec
ord, they assert, for big family when
there We're born to Mr.. and Mrs
Charles Dickey their twenty-second
child. Mr.. and Mrs. Dickey live on a
cross road in Canaan with fifteen of
their twenty-five children. Here they
have a siXty-acre farm surrounded by
fence to keep the babies in safety
without constant watching TO see il
they are going to get run over by
lassing teams. Nowhere else would
j. have been possible for a young
couple unaided to bring up with their
own hands such a large family and
supply them with all the necessities of
Lille. But Mr. Dickey working on this
farm and another one which he owns
free and clear of debt, has been able
to do this and today doesn't owe a
dollar 70 anybody. He says he and
Mrs Dickey were put here to be an eX-
ample to the world OF what other fam
lilies should do Mrs Dickey is a young
looking woman of about forty-fiye and
Mr.. Dickey is happy, contented man

DRAFT HORSES FOR FARMING
Experience Teaches Most Economical,
and Satisfactory Motive Power
Is Heavy Mare.

There is an insistent market de.
'mand for high-class horses, especially
for draft horses, that cannot be sup
piled. On the other hand. says the
Farmers Home Journal, the country
is flooded with common ordinary.
plug" horses. They do not fill any
particular requirement or demand,
hence the very low and profit-killing
prices for which they must sell. This
1nsistent demand for high-class draft
horses does not come from the mar
ket alone.
There also comes a demand from
the farm, for this is a day Of heavy
machinery demanding an increased
amount of motive power Experience
has proven that the most satisfactory
and economical form of motive power
on the average farm is the heavy,
sound draft mare. Besides doing most
OF the farm work she will raise a val
liable colt each year, If properly han
died. Thus she IS constantly produ-
cling profit other than by means Of
the work she does.

BILLIONS OF MATCHES USED

1t has been estimated that for each
minute of time the civilized nations
Of the world strike 100000 matches.
This is said TO be the average for
every minute OF the "a hours Of the
day. Fifteen hundred billion is the
number for the entire year, and those
persons who live under the American
flag are charged with the consumption
of one-half of this amount Small and
insignificant as 1t Is the match de-
mands as much attention in the choice
Of woods involved as any other for
est product Only the choicest por-
lions of the best trees are suitable.
Sapwood and knotty or cross-grained
wood will not do. Instead Of being a
by-product, the little match is turned
out in mills where the by-products are
bulky objects like doors, sash. shin
giles, sidings, posts and cordwood The
pines, linden, aspen. white cedar, pop
lar, birch and willow are the most
suitable match timbers.

ATTENTION TO A DAIRY cow
Care Given Animals After CaIving De-
termines Milk Producton-Good
Method Given.

The care given the COW just before
and for the first few weeks after calv-
ing determines very largely the pro-
auction for that period OF lactation. I'M
proper treatment will have a more d.
rect and lasting effect than at any 9TH
er time, and it means dollars and cents
that she be handled to give the maxi
mum production.
Inc following is a method that has
gwen good results: Dry up the cow
from four to six weeks before the calf
Is due, and feed literally. getting her
to gain in flesh. Three or four days
before her time. place her in a box stall.
and feed dry feed. If any constipation is
noticed, mix a little linseed oil with
the grain. Those COWS liable to be-
affected with milk fever feed very lit.
tile the last couple of days. If the
udder tends to cake milk out and rub.
well.
After the calf is born and has taken
its first feed, milk the COW and manip-
uIate the udder thoroughly. Allow the.
calf to remain with the cow the first
day and then put in a pen out of sight
OF the COW. Very little trouble will
be experienced with a caked udder, but
in bad cases milk three times a day,
and after each milking battle for some
time in hot water and then rub we'll
with turpentine and lard. 1t is the
rubbing tibet counts more than the lin
iment.
Take care to see that the afterbirth
is passed properly, and do not allow
improper cases to go more than "a
hours without treatment. The first day
after calying feed the COW very spar.
lngly, then gradually increase. With,
in three or four days, if doing proper
ly, p't back with the rest of the herd.
From then on increase feed slowly I'M,
I'll full feed is reached. Determine this,
when the milk record fails to rise with
any further increase of feed.

Chickens In Summer

Don't crowd the chickens in warm
weather, and don't put those of diff
ferent ages together The smaller
ones will not have fair chance. and
where they are crowded are apt to be
smothered
Pullets Matched in May can be
brought to laying by November. If
they are properly fed and cared for,
and crowded as fast as possible.
1t cannot be done. however. II they
are half fed, tormented with lice,
short of fresh water, or allowed to
become stunted for any other reason.
You will be to the expense of rails
ing them anyway, and the sooner
you begin to get returns for that ex-
pense the better so give them the
best chance to make good

TOP OF DROWNED CONTINENT

The British museum is Quitting an
expedition to the Pacific to try to
solve the problem Of gigantic prehis-
toric stone images Of human beings
discovered on Carter island, a mere
speck in the ocean, about $500 miles
west Of Chilli
1t is thought that maybe this little
isle OF mystery Is the last pinnacle Of
q submerged continent which once in
bygone ages occupied the greater part
of the South Pacific and possibly
Joined Asia and America. The inhabi-
tants may have gradually been forced
to the top of the last peak there to
perish, only after they had erected
their wonderful monuments.
The island Is only forty-five square
miles in area, but on it there have
been raised immense platforms facing
the sea and formed of huge stones
fitted together without cement. Some
OF the separate stones weigh FIVE
tons, and the sea wall at places Is
80 feet high and 200 feet long. On
SAS A''AA SANC "a tAlC DAClAOL tuOA Q
are broad stone terraces, on which
stand, upon pedestals, huge figures
carved out of lava from the crater of
an extinct volcano several miles
away.
There are in all 555 Of these images,
most Of which have been thrown
down perhaps thousands Of years ago
The largest is sixty-eight feet long
from the top Of the head to the hips.
and its nose is eleven feet in length.
None OF the images shows a figure
below the hips and they seem to have
been originally set on their pedestals
as busts. Several of the busts weigh
$50 tons apiece.
There Is evidence that the work on
the images suddenly ceased Vast
numbers of human skeletons are I'M
der the stone platforms. probably the
bones of people who were sacrificed
to the images.
