Costs Less Than a TWo-Cent
POSTAGE Stamp

An average of less than a cent and
a third pair is paid for the use of all
our machines in making two-thirds of
the shoes produced in the United
States-assuming that all our ma
chimes are used. The most that can
be paid for the use of all our ma
chimes in making the highest-priced
shoes is less than 5N cents a pair.
The average royalty on all kinds of
shoes is less than Q 2-3 cents pair.
From this we get our sole return for
the manufacture and use Of the ma
chimes. for setting them up in facto-
ries and keeping them in order. You
pay two cents for postage stamp or
a yeastcake and five cents for a car
fare and don't miss 1t. Where do you
get more for your money than in buy
ing machine-made shoe?

Woman Who Can Do Things.

Gen. Sir Robert Baden-Powell be-
lieves in the woman who can do
things, and the other day he held up
Lady Baden-Powell as an exponent OF
this much-desired art The chief and
founder of the Boy Scout movement
was describing a tour that his wife
and he recently made in Algeria Il
saw Lady Baden-Powell." he said, mot
so long ago in-what is the feminine
for shirt sleeves?-scrubbing out a
saucepan. We were living the simple
life in the desert. We had only one
pan, and that was a saucepan. 1t had
to do for frying our fish in the morn
ing and also for boiling our coffee in.
After the lady had done the fried fish
she had to get some grass roots and
sand and scrub the pot out SO that we
could make our coffee in it. The lady
was quite able to do it, and she did 1t
well. She also did the washing. But"
General Baden-Powell added. Il must
stand up for the Scouts and the mere
man-she had to fall back upon me
to do the ironing"

BEST FOOD FOR BROOD soWs
SKINNED Milk Mixed With Wheat
Bran or Ground Oats Is Excellent
Ration for Shoats.

The best food for brood sows Is
skinned milk mixed with wheat bran
or ground oats. Boiled roots mixed
with wheat bran and wheat middlings
is a healthy and economical food.
The brood SOW should be kept in good
condition, but not fat. Corn is not a
suitable food: few ears Of corn
may be fed after the slop is eaten. If
the SOW is thin. A small grass pas
ture should adjoin the pens; let them
have the use of this pasture every
suitable day; she needs exercise.
Well-cured clover hay, cut fine and
mixed in the millfeed slop, will reduce
t. grain ration. See that the pens
are clean and dry; give a warm
bed of straw or leaves-leaves make
tn, best bed for pigs. The hogs
should not be kept in dirty yards or
allowed to run in the yard with stock.
Never let the hogs burrow in the
fermenting manure, as it is certain
to give them lung disease and skin
disease. II the hogs cannot have a
grass pasture they should have raw
roots and freshly dug grass sods
every day. Give plenty of fresh.
clean water and liberal supply of
burnt wood, wood ashes and coal.
The best food for shoats is equal
quantities of ground oats and peas
boiled and mixed with wheat bran.
Give the slop luke warm in cold
weather. Have feed trough clean.
No rancid slop should be fed. A
well-bred sow that will rear litter
os y,ioa and is a pood mother Ia worth
$50. Have a separate pen for each
SOW. Make a fender rail around the
pen to prevent the SOW from crushing
the young pigs. Sows will farrow 16
weeks after being served.

Care of Horses.

It is a very good practice to clip
horses, partly or in whole, at this
time of the year. We believe that the
European custom of clipping the legs
and belly as high as the traces come.
is rather better than our own usual
method of either clipping all over or
hooks. Any clipping which frees the
lower part of the horses body from
long hair is a decided advantage while
the muddy period lasts. and this is
particularly true during the raw cold
spring weather and late winter.
than to save the horse.
Half clipping allows what. mud ad-
heres to the belly and legs to be cas-
lily removed, and the skin then dries
rapidly. Nature is surprised by the
first warm weather in the spring, the
horse still has his heavy coat of win
ter hair. and he perspires profusely at
his ordinary work. Most of the sweat
soaks down on the legs and belly.
keeping the whole horse wet from its
{ vapor. If this can be overcome. the
rest of the horses body can be dried
OF with comparative ease. The only
way to overcome it at this time of
year is to clip the lower half of all of
the body.
Clipping the lower part of the legs
only simply aids in keeping these
parts free from mud, and this sort of
clipping Is done more to save work
There are not many who advocate
or practice clipping the entire body

How They Do II.

rocky walls.
sucker mouth and the entire mechan-
ism is SO perfectly adapted to the
needs of the fish that 1t finds no diff
Guilty in firmly attaching itself to any
convenient object. 1t is this ability
to make a quick anchorage that en-
ables the fish to stay at home when
nature seems bent upon sweeping the
canyons and watercourses clear OF
everything movable. =.
"The fat sucker mouth is half of
the mechanism; the other half is To-
Gated on the belly. Under the skin of
the ventral side, just behind line
joining the pectoral fms, there is a
triangular bony plate to which are at
tached the ventral fins. The main an.
terror ribs of these fms are broad and
flattened, and the fiat surfaces are
thickly studded with small, sharp
teeth pointing backwards. The trian.
gular plate and its attached fms are
free to move in longitudinal direc-
tion through a distance equal to about
one-sixth of the length Of the fish. This
movement is accomplished by means
of four muscles in two pairs attached
to the plate; the anterior pair extend
ing from their attachments on each
side of the plate forward to the mid
die point on the bony arch just below
the gill openings; the posterior pair
exten ding from an attachment at the
center of the posterior edge of the
plate to the anal fin. 1t is evident
that the fish is able to create suction
pressure in the region of the plate,
though how this is accomplished is
not apparent from the structure.
by means af the alternate action of
the mouth and of this curious appara-
tus, the fish is able to creep against
current that would battle its efforts
entirely. If it relied alone upon its fins
and tail. When 1t is engaged in creep
ing or sticking fast to some object, the
sucker mouth necessarily is closed. 1t
Is evident that the gills must be sup
piled with the life-maintaining flow OF
water through some other avenue. At
the upper extremity of each gill-slit
there is an orifice provided with a
valve opening inward. During the dlas-
tole of the gill covers, the water flows
inward through the orifices and is ex-
PEELED through the gill-slits during the
systole.
"On clear sunshiny days these fish
may be seen in the depths of the clear
water hitching themselves along over
the surfaces of rocks, occasionally
swimming short distances in the more
quiescent places, but seeming to de-
pend for locomotion primarily upon
their creeping mechanism. They are
to be found in all parts of these noun
tain streams. from the most slender
tributaries to the foot of the noun
tains. 1t is evident from this fact that
they are able to travel upstream"
