Hypnotic Cats.

Treading on a cobra sitting up
ready, a resident in India, whose ex-
periences are related in the Field,
wondered Why the deadly fangs were
delayed.
Looking around, he noticed his cat
crouching and gazing at the reptile
steadily with mesmeric effect, for the
snake seemed unable to move, and
while in this condition he killed 1t.
Another time, when sleeping in an
open cot in the veranda, he woke to
find on one side of the bed a huge
cobra with head erect ready to strike,
on the other the glistening green eyes
Of his cat. The snake remained quite
still, 80 he ran into the room to fetch
gun and, coming back, poked the
reptiles head with the barrels; but
1t did not take the slightest notice,
and seemed like a stuffed and lifeless
creature.
He then placed his hand in front OF
the cats eyes by way of experiment,
when Immediately the spell was re-
moved, the cobra raised itself, Kissed,
and assumed an offensive attitude.
He then took his hand away and the
reptile became transtixed again, in
which state it was shot.

MAKE SOUP FROM PEA WATER
Flavor and Valuable Salts of Vege.-
ables Are Often Thrown
Away.

1t Is waste of good material not
to make pea soup every time you have
peas for dinner. Much of the flavor
and valuable salts of the peas are left
In the water they were boiled in, and
when this is thrown away half the
good of them is lost. To make it,
wash the peas, shell them and put the
bulls to cook in just enough water to
cover them. Let them simmer until
they look faded, then throw them
away and put the peas to boil in
the same water, and when done dish
as usual. They are improved by the
additional flavor given by the hulls.
Add some new milk TO the water and
thicken 1t slightly with a tablespoon
full each Of butter and flour rubbed
TO paste, or with beaten egg, add
ed just as the soup is taken from the
fire. Season with salt and pepper.
When peas are too old to be good, use
them to thicken the soup by putting
them through the colander. 1t is true
Of any boiled vegetable that much of
its value stays in the water in which
1t was cooked, and any one of them
can be made into soup in the same
manner as peas.

BLUE FLANNEL FOR SILVER
White Cloth, Commonly Used, Con-
tains Sulphur and Causes Ar
ticles to Tarnlsh.

Did you ever notice that the silver
you stow carefully away in neat white
canton flannel bags, presumably to
Keep 1t from furnishing, Is blacker
and more stained with tarnish when
you go to get 1t out Of its bag than
the silver that has been in use all the
time? And did you ever notice, II the
silver is kept in long case that is
wound about itself. that the silver
best protected, nearest the middle, is
most badly furnished?
A 1eweler says that the reason for
this Is that white canton flannel is
hieached with a mixture containing
sulphur, which spots and furnishes
silver very quickly. So when your
extra dozen silver forks are carefully
packed away in their white canton
nannel case, of course those in the
middle, farthest from the air, become
the most badly furnished.
1t Is for this reason that silver
smiths always use blue canton flannel
bags and cases for their silver, not,
as many persons think, because blue
Is more beautiful than white. No
sulphur is used in the preparation Of
blue canton flannel and so none lin
gers in its folds after it is made up
Ito bags and cases for silver.

TAN BOOTS EASILY CLEANED
Soap and Water VIII Remove Stains
and Mud From Washable
Footwear.

The washable tan boot is luxury
to the woman who is constitutionally
in hurry and cannot take time for
the ever-recurring cleaning and polish
ing necessary to the average foot
wear. All that is necessary to reJu-
venate the tan boot is to wipe over
it's surface with a sponge or cloth
dipped in ordinary soap and water.
when the boot energies as bright as
the day 1t was bought. No polishing
necessary and no carrying of pre-
pared dressings in ones trunk with
the danger of disaster to ones sum-
mer finery. Another good point about
this new tan leather is it's immunity
from stains. Even mud will not dis
color 1t and it marches scatheless
through wet underbrush and over
soaking turf.

in the production of heavy drafters.
The care of the colt probably will in
fuence its growth and development
as much as its breeding. Some very
good horses sometimes are produced
from inferior stock il they are well
cared for. The colt should be taught
to eat some grain as soon as possible
and then, If the dam should get out
of condition either from over work or
other causes, the colt will not be

Why Chinese Are Called celestIalsY

1t is the Chinese themselves who
call their people Celestials. Their en-
peror's official title used to be Son Of
Heaven. 1t is said that according to
an old legend a planet inhabited by a
golden skinned race was broken up,
and part of 1t fell in what is now
called Thibet. Dazed and starving the
heavenly visitants made their way in
to China where they finally settled
themselves. Their neighbors called
them Celestials to distinguish them
from the earth derived people. and
they adopted the term as mark of
distinction. The legend need not. how.
ever. be taken seriously.

sas suffer, from time to time,
losses OF cattle when they are
pastured upon corn stalk fields. Some
of these, doubtless, die from eating
too much dry and indigestble food,
others from diseases which are not in
any way derived from corn stalks.
However, many cattle die from symp-
toms so typical that the term Corn
Stalk Disease" has gradually acquired
the significance of a disease in which
the cattle show prevailingly nervous
symptoms. The onset of the disease
is sometimes sudden. Preliminary
symptoms come on a few hours be-
fore the severe attack. At first the
animals seem to be sluggish and to
separate themselves from the remain
der of the herd. The next symptom
which comes on may be viciousness
Animals previously very gentle may
attack a man or horse. This symp-
tom frequently escapes observation
The walk is very staggering and the
animal stands with legs braced apart
After a short time it falls to the
ground and lies trembling violently.
On approaching 1t when in this con-
dition 1t frequently takes no notice
until one is quite close, then starts
suddenly as if much frightened. 1t
is not unusual for it to bawl almost
constantly. The animal goes down
on the ground and draws its body
into a peculiar position. Saliva drools
from the mouth and bloody feces is
passed from the rectum. Most cases
die within six or eight hours after
violent symptoms are noted, few
live longer In those cases which
die quickly the contents of the stom-
ach are found to be practically nor
NAL; this contradicts the theory that
the trouble is caused by loading the
stomach with indigestible food
Many theories have been advanced
to explain this trouble. The theory
of impaction, that is, overlooking the
stomach with indigestible material
has been discussed. Some believe
that a poisonous weed in the field is
the cause, others that certain stalks
of corn are poisonous, others that the
corn in connection with certain weeds
liberates hydrocianic or prussic acid
and that this acid is the active agent
in the disease. In fact much work
has been done upon the various
phases of the prussic acid theory be-
cause the symptoms Of this disease
quite closely resemble those which
might arise from small dose of prus-
sic acid. More will be said about
these theories in discussing the eX-
periments which the veterinary de-
partment of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural College has carried out.
Many farmers have been of the
opinion that in some way or other
the small stalks of corn which do not
develop ears (suckers) are the cause
of this disease. They have main
tanned that because these were green
and sweet that the cattle, when turn
ed into the field, ate them in prefer
ence to the others. To test this the
college placed one yearling heifer
and one yearling steer in feed lot
under the care of DR.. C. w. Hobbs,
of Smith Center, These animals were
fed for about two months on such
stalks. The stalks were cut and
brought in fresh so that the calves
were never fed stalks more than two
days old. The stalks were cut from
fields in which cattle had contracted

time before. The claves received in
addition a very small amount of al.
falfa hay. The experiment kept up
from about the middle of November
until the first of January The steer
showed some slight symptoms, being
drowsy and having loss of appetite
for few days. When he recovered
the skin upon the end of the nose
pealed off; he did not, however, de.
velop the corn stalk disease. The
other showed no symptoms whatever.
Positive conclusions cannot be drawn
from experiments upon two animals,
but 1t still seems safe to presume that
these suckers are not the primary
cause of the disease.
In a few instances a germ disease
(haemNrhagic septicaemia) has been
reported among cattle running on corn
stalks. Inasmuch as the post norton
appearances of some cases of corn
stalk disease showed many points In

this germ. At first we were unable
to cultivate any germ resembling this
bacillus which causes haemorrhagic
septicaemia, but later by the use of
certain methods we were able to cul.
tivate a germ from all of the cases
sent in. This organism differs in
some respects from the boyus septi-
Gus germ, although they agree in
many respects After finding this in
certain number of cases, expert
ments were instituted to see if the
disease could be reproduced In
healthy cattle by inoculating them
with it, A culture derived from a
case sent in by DR.. II. C. Gale OF
Clyde, Kansas, was inocuated into

hours. The symptoms were not en-

the brain of the dead animal and in
oculated into another calf; this calf
lived for about fifty-six hours and de.
veloped a very good case of the corn
stalk disease. The germ was cult.
waited again from its brain in consid.
cradle numbers. 1t is believed that
the reason the symptoms of the first
calf were not typical was that too
large a dose was given which pro-
duced death from the poison inject
ed and did not give the germs time
to develop, 1t is probable that this
germ is the cause of the disease.
This conclusion, however. must be
thoroughly tested. In order to do
this it will be of great assistance il
the people losing cattle from the corn
stalk disease will send the heads to
us. The simplest way is to put the
brain into small tin bucket which
has tight fitting lid. This should
then be put into candy bucket
and the candy bucket filled up with
broken ice and sawdust Assmall hole
should be made close to the bottom
of the candy bucket in order to let
the water out as the ice melts. 1t
should be sent by express to the vet
Urinary department of the State Agri-
cultural College. The college will
gladly pay the express on the brains
of cattle dying from corn stalk dis
ease which are properly collected.
Anyone after reading these directions
can properly remove. pack and ship
the brains. Wherever possible we
recommend that the local veterinar-
ian be consulted in regard to the work.

 FAIR


 Dear Editor and Sisters of the Social Corner: This would be an ideal sum- mer morning if only we could have the much needed rain.
 That little word only is a sturn- bling block in our lives. How it mars our happiness!
 The sunshine that brightens our ev- eryday life is chiefly of our own n1ak- ing, and the joys we miss as we jour- ney through this life we could have for the simple taking.
 Judging from the number of absent letters in the Social Corner last week, some of the sisters are off on their vacation. Mine is passing swiftly away. I can scarcely relalize that I have spent the week in Connecticut. They have been happy weeks spent with loved ones.
 I have been wishing and hoping that we might have a Social Corner picnic in "our corner of the world before leave Connecticut. I know 1t is hard to arrange one to suit ail.
 How would Gardner Lake. or even Norwich, at the county fair, do? !? Would that be a convenient place to meet? We might then have the happy privilege of having the editor and his wife with us. Wouldn't that be jolly What do you say?
