FUNNY SAYINGS OF KIDDIEs

long time did not observe him. But

some time. hardly daring to raise her
eyes because l told her she must be
quiet or she would not go to church
again, She suddenly. in the middle OF
the sermon. looked up and saw him,
and screamed: "Auntie, look, there's
daddy up there! And whatever is he
yelling about?"
Which reminds me Of two little
nephews Of mine who were taken to a
churchyard by very old and pious
aunt. She, thinking to impress the
surroundings on them, said, You

SOME PURE-MILK PROBLEMS
Most Important Aside From Feeding
Is Of Barn and Its Accommoda-
tIons, Says Oregon Student.

For the dairyman whose aim is the
profitable production Of pure milk,
probably the most important problem,
aside from the feeding, is that OF the
barn and it's accommodations, writes
e. 8. Wisdom, student at the Ore
gon Agricultural college, in an article
in the Oregon Countryman. the stu.
dent agricultural magazine.
The dairy COW requires, for the high
est production, comfortable and
healthy quarters which are protected
from the inclement weather, he con-
tinues. A warm, substantial stable is
almost imperative in the cold climate.
1t must not be forgotten, however, that
the health Of the herd is likely to be
impaired unless proper precautions are
taken to insure rigid cleanliness and
abundance Of light and fresh air.
An expensive structure is unneces-
sary, but one that will be convenient
for the labor and furnish contentment
to the herd should be provided. The

(By WILLIAM H. H.QUNDERwOoD.
Potatoes intended for seed should
be kept hard and plump during the
winter and this can be done only by
keeping them so cool that they will
not sprout.
When potatoes sprout they take
part OF the starch that is stored up in
them and manufacture 1t into living
cells. This energy is all wasted for
the sprouts have to be pulled of.
Some farmers make it a point to
"sprout" their potatoes once or twice
during the winter, this being done to
prevent their growing. But the amount
OF energy thus lost is considerable,
and the loss increases as the winter
draws to a close.

years.
The sbagworm Is easy to control. at

mere are two methods of destroying
the pest, by collecting all of the bags
and by spraying with poison. II the
bagworm is restricted to only a few
trees, one can easily collect all of the
bags In the winter when the leaves
are on. This method is In common

on evergreens and, of course, is out
OF the question In very large orchards
or groves. In such cases 1t is neces.

pillars begin to feed upon the foliage
IN the spring. Early spraying should
be practiced as the pest is destroyed
before the foliage is consumed. The
first regular application of poison for
the codling moth. Just after the bios.
SONS fall in the spring, will also con.
troll the bagworm in orchards. One
careful application Of poison before
the first of June will usually control
the pest either upon fruit evergreen
