EDITOR PAUSEs TO INQUIRE
Seems to Have Feeling That He Is
Making an Argument Against
Woman Suffrage.

Enemies of votes for women, in
search of arguments to !confound the
orators Of the case, may use for what
it is worth the following incident
which happened in Madison square
one day last week:
A young woman of pleasing and pic
tturesque aspect came northward from
Twenty-third street across the square.
She struggled under the weight Of a
dog hamper, and inside one could see
a bright-eyed, restless fox terrier, ca
ger to be let out. The woman carried
a leash in her left hand, and the dog
had on a collar with a enap. An in
terested observed followed the woman.
She struggled on six blocks up Madi-
son avenue before she reached her
destination, a residence on the east
side of the street. Then she unlocked
the hamper, snapped the leash On the
dogs collar, and took him inside the
house. Why had she carried an able
bodied, 25-pound fox terrier, who want
ed to be let out, all that distance?-

WHY INCUBATOR CHICKS DIE
SWALLOW HAD LONG JOURNEY
Positive Proof That Bird Travelled the
Distance From England to
South Africa.

The capture Of a swallow bearing
an aluminium ring in Natal, South
Africa, the other day, has resulted in
an astonishing insight into the migra
tory habits of birds. From number
and address stamped on the ring it
was discovered that the swallow was
one of ,4S3 British birds marked in
a similar way last summer by enthu-
siasts, desiring to learn more as to the
routes taken by bird migrants, and
whether birds return again to their
previous nesting sites. This systema-
tic marking of birds began in 1909,
since when nearly $4,000 have been
hinged" About three per cent. are
afterward noted, but the swallow re-
ported from Natal appears to have
made the longest flight so far A
black-headed gull ringed as a nesting
in Yorkshire in July, 1911, was found
in February, 1912, in Flores, Azores
A starting ringed in Berkshire in Jan
uary, 1912, reached Helsingfor, Fin
land, in April A teal ringed in Stat
fordshire in the autumn of 1910, was
found at Dalarne, Sweden. July, 1911.

BUILDING UP A HERD
Robber Cows Should Be Disposed
of When Discovered.
Cheapest Way to Insure Profits Is to
Use Common Sense and Good
JUDGMENT in Selection of Sire
Tester is Infallible.
By r G wEATHERsToNE.,

With butter selling to the city Gus
toner at 40 cents pound, and the
price of feed for dairy cows soaring
upward every month, the question OF
the robber Cow becomes more interest
ing every day. How any man can go
along feeding lot of scrub COWS that
cost more than they earn is beyond
comprehension. If you have ten COWS
and the tester shows four of them do
not produce enough milk to pay fer
their keep, why not sell them and put
the proceeds into one good cow-one
that will not only save the loss of the
robber COWS, but earn q net profit of
from $50 TOT $50 year? That is good
business sense, isn't it?
Here are some championship milk
and butterfat records that you may
want to refer to some time when you
want to know the possibilities of milk
and butter production: Jacoba Irene,
Jersey COW, made a record of 15,503
pounds of milk testing So per cent.
sbutterfat, 1853 pounds; Rena Ross,
AYRSHIRE COW, 1902 pounds of milk,
testing 4.26 per cent. butterfat, equal
ing 6,432 pounds in a year; Holstein
COW, tColantha Fourth's Johanna,
27,4325 pounds of milk, testing 3-64
per cent. butterfat, equal to 1896
pounds in year; Yeksa Sunbeam,
Guernsey COW, 14,920S pounds of
milk, testing STA per cent. butterfat,
equal to 857.15 pounds in year. In
computing the butter yield, add Is per
cent. to the butterfat records. These
are possible yields under the best con-
ditions by something less than one
COW in million.
Of course, we cannot all own such
COWS as these, but we can buy an oc-
casional bull calf from these strains
and by crossing him with good grade
COWS build up milk profit herd and
never miss the cost. The universal

Shippino Mares and FoaIs,

TIE best way to ship mares with
young foals at foot is to build 2 par
tition across one end of car, bed the
floor well with good hay and turn
them in loose, says the Horse Breeder.
We have shipped many in that way
and have never had one injured. The
mare that is good mother will never
step on her foal when it is lying in the
car With plenty of good hay for bed
ding mares will not suffer for food
even though the train is delayed a few
hours. Water In clean bucket
should be offered them frequently.
Yearlings and tworyear-oIds may be
safely shipped in this manner.

MARrYNIA Is QUITE USEFUL
eddy Become UnpopuIar-Excel-
celIent With Mixed Pickles.
CBy HUGO ERICHsEN.)

In the mind of the average gard
ener, be he urban, suburban or rural,
the culture of vegetables is associated
with drudgery which is in no wise
diverting, and yet, if one only deviates
from the beaten paths and is not
afraid to grow things that are decid-
eddy uncommon, as much fun can be
had in the kitchen garden as in
Flora's domain, and no little profit.
One of the uncommon vegetables
have grown is the martynia.
The martynia, known to our fore
fathers as the martinoes, has unde-
servedly become unpopular. Perhaps
the disagreeable odor of it's gloxinia-
like flowers, and the peculiar shape
of the hairy seed-pods that succeed
them had something to do with its
disfavor
The latter are responsible for two
other designations of this vegetable
curiosity, for in England, where it is
grown extensively, it is known as the
unicorn plant and in Mexico, where
it grows wild, it is called the DEVILS
fnger-nails.
The pods are produced in great
abundance and should be gathered
when less than half grown, as they
are worthless after the hardening of
their substance. They are picked in
vinegar like cucumbers and. are very
useful in putting up mixed pickles.
The plants require considerable
warmth. therefore, the seed should

KEEP FARM FLOCK HEALTHY
! Sheep Thrive Much Better When Their
Skins Are ciean-Good Dip
Also improves Wool.

Dipping is essential to good flock
management No farmer should at
tempt to raise sheep without planning
to dip them at least annually and in
most cases twice year, according to
the advice Of II. e. Allen of the Indi-
ana Agricultural college. When sheep
are brought to the farm from other
flocks, and especially when trans
ported there by railroads, they should
be thoroughly dipped before allowed
to mingle with the rest of the flock
Experience has taught sheepmen
! that sheep thrive much better when
their skins are clean, and it has been
clearly demonstrated that a good
dip increases the quantity and i'm
proves the quality of the wool It is
impossible for lambs infested with
ticks or other parasites to thrive prop
erly, owing to the constant irritation
set up. In trying to get relief lambs
often nibble at the fleece and swallow
small portions of wool with fatal re
suits. A good and regular system of
dipping the entire ficck is money well
! expended. Hence most of the leading
| ffockmasters dip twice in the year
once in the spring and again in the
fall
The object of dipping is to destroy
the parasites in the fleece such as
scab mites and sheep ticks and
lice, and to prevent subsequent at
tacks from the same. In England,
where sheep raising has attained its
highest state of perfection, dipping is
required by law at least twice year.
While dipping may not be done at
any season, it should, if possible, be
avoided in cold weather for obvious
reasons The most favorable time for
the spring dipping is a few days
after shearing time. By this time the
ticks will have largely transferred
from the ewes to the lambs. AT this
time comparatively little material is
needed. If the flock is badly infested
it is important to repeat the operation
in ten days in order to destroy the in
sects that have Matched during the
interval The flock should again be
treated in the fall, SO as to go into
winter free from parasites.
