There Is a cross-eyed man in Cleve-
land who is an enthusiastic trap
shooter. Furthermore, he is an ex-
pert. His record is a thing to be
proud of. One day last autumn a
nervy friend ventured to question him
thus:
You are 30 horribly cross-eyed
that don't see how you are able to
shoot straight"
I'll tell you my secret. I squirt
along the left barrel with my right
eye, and I squint along the right bar
rel with my left eye"
"Yes?"
And then I fire both barrels"

y CHEAP DISINFECANT.

mere are numerous occasions IN
the daily routine of the farm when it
becomes necessary to disinfect a
building and the adjacent premises
in a quick, thorough manner. Sick
ness may break out in the poultry
house or a horse or COW die of some
infectious disease and if preventive
measures are not quickly applied
the entire flock of hens or herd of
cattle may become infected and
succumed to the malady. There are
numerous commercial disinfectants
on the market which can be used
with splendid success on such oc-
casions, but the main objection to
all of them is the fact that they are
relatively expensive. The farmer
who uses them pays a good price for
the manufacturer of something that
he could prepare himself from the
raw material.
The disinfectant discussed here
with is known as "cresol SOAP" and
has given most gratifying results in
various tests conducted by the United
States Department of Agriculture
and several of our experiment
stations. The active base of the solu-
ton is commercial cresol a thick,
syrupy fluid varying in color in diff
ferent lots from a nearly coloress
fluid to a dark brown. 1t does not
mix readily with water. and therefore
in order to make satisfactorily a di-
lutte solution it is necessity first to
incorporate the cresol with some sub
stance which will mix with water.
The commercial cresol is a corrosive
substance similar to carbolic acid. In
case of accidental contact the spot
should at once be washed off with an
abundant of clean water. The price
of commercial cresol varies with the
drug market. the average price rang
ing from 25 to 80 cents a pound.
The solution OF soap referred to is
made as follows:
Measure out 4 quarts of raw lin
seed oil in a four or five gallon stone
crock then weigh out in a dish / q
pounds of commercial potassium
hydroxide or caustic potash, which
may be obtained from any druggist
at cost of from ten to fifteen cents
pound. Dissolve this caustic pot
ash in pint of hot water: let it stand
for at least three hours until the pot
ash is completely dissolved and the
solution is cold; then add the cold
potash solution very slowly to the lin
seed oil, stirring constantly. Not less
than five minutes should be taken for
the adding of this solution of potash
to the oil. For five hours after being
mixed the oil and potash mixture
should be stirred thoroughly about
every hour and then left standing for
ten or twelve hours. The soap should
then be stirred and broken up into
small pieces and 5 4 quarts of COM
mercial cresol should be added. The
soap will slowly dissolve in this Gre
sol. 1t may take two days for COM
plete solution TO be affected. When
the soap is all dissolved the solution
is ready to use. This soap will mix
in any proportion with water and
yield a clear solution
For ordinary work about the farm.
such as disinfecting the poultry hour
es, barns, and so forth, three or four
tablespoonfuls of the cresol soap TO
each gallon of water will make a sat
isfactory solution. Since the solution
is clear it can be applied through
any kind of spray pump of with
q brush.

Representative Butler of Pennsylvania
is also a Quaker, and whenever there IS a
row in the House the pacific Butler pulls a
large cruise from his pistol pocket and pours
oil upon the troubled waters. There have
been so many troubled waters in Congress,
and Butler has poured SO much oil, that, if
YOU sunk we'll in the center aisle of the
House, the volume of the product would be
big enough to send the Standard Oil Com
pany galloping into bankruptcy. Not so
with A. Mitchell. If there is fight, he is
probably in it. And if he isn't in it, the
chances are ten to one that he IS standing IN
bitter tears of regret.

can bring to his aid a finished. fluent, and

sounds like a fine combination of shell,
shrapnel and shrieks. But he is equally
good in the art of letting his prematurelv
gray head sink beneath the quiet waters of
calculation and deep thought. He is a clean
shaved wizard when it comes to estimating
the motives of men and organizing those
same men so that they will accomplish what
he and Oscar and the other fellows want.
He allows nobody to bawl him out-no-
body but his Quaker aunt in Pennsylvania
Having been one of the original Wilson men,
he bet last summer with J. Hampton Moore

and his speed was such that he kept law

taking a sentence and the speaker decided
to begin another. He was made official
stenographer of the forty-third judicial dis
trict of Pennsylvania, and held the job one
year, just long enough Tor him to finish
studying law and to be admitted to the bar.
In his trial of cases he was exactly as peace
full as he is in politics and legislation, and the
result was that he accumulated large and
Juicy practice, became a director IN the
Scranton Trust Company, a director in the
Stroudsburg National Bank, and in many
other financial and industrial undertakings.

THE HORN OF PLENTY As A
SYMBOL OF THANKSGIVING.


The cornucopia, or horn of fruitful
ness and abundance, always used by
the Greeks and Romans as the symbol
Of plenty. is an apt expression of the
sentiment hat prevails on Thanksgiv-
ing day. Filled with fruits and flow
ers, it makes one OF the most charming
Of .centerpieces for the Thanksgiving
dinner table. The contents should be
arranged SO that the cornucopia is over
flowing, the fruits and flowers running
out of the horn and over the table.
A cornucopia may be made Of wire
covered with silk, or again with linen,
or it might be made of cardboard on
which vines or autumn leaves are
sewed. The leaves Of the galax, which
do not fade. could be used, although
one should prefer the beautiful black
berry vine. which at this season is al
ways at its best in color. The leaves
Of the vine should be made to run up
toward the mouth Of the horn and
trail about it's edges, suggesting horn
being wound about with them. Flow
ers, too, should fall about the brim 50
that fidelity to the original idea might
be preserved. .'.52 F'*=S.>s

GOOD AND. POOR FLOUR
By r.: w. Thatcher, Agricultural
Chemist, University Farm,
OCs raul. -

Only about 10 per cent of the
bread eaten i'm THE United States lis
baked in commercial bakeries, as ID
is "a counnnOn practice for. the
housewife ITO bake her OWN bread
This leads to widespread interest
i'm the question of the baking quali-
ty of flour amid an enormous variety
of conditions AMID methods of bak-
ing. " =
There are twp ESSENTIAL facts
with reference ito the baking quail
>ty of flour: ID There are large diff
ferences in Nhe composition and
quality of flours of different origins,
and ~ by using proper methods of
handling the dough, good bread can
be made from almost amy Kind OF
flour. .I
In general, flour from hard
wheats will give better RESULTS than
that from soft wheats. A skillful
bread maker will, before passing
final Judgment ON the merits of any
given flour, vary the conditions of
making THE dough and preparing it
for the owen, until Those BEST suited
ito THAT particular flour are found.
After the conditions for a flour have
been found, assurance THAT the
bread will always be good can only
be (had by using always 1.-The same
proportions of ingredients and the
same temperatures. If the ihgre~
dients are accurately measured, and
the conditions of raising, kmeading,
and baking are carefully controlled,
success cam be achieved with little
experience. ,..5' n 4.,5

THAT certain types of flour which
may not give him THE deslred re-
