BEGINNING OF MRS. GRUNDY''
She Sprans From Fertile Brain
of Literary Genius.

Mrs. Grundy is a comparatively re-
cent creation. Like Mrs. Harris, Mrs.
Camp, Mrs. Malaprop, Mrs. Darlington,
and a host of other famous matrons.
she sprang from the fertile brain of
literary genius.
Thomas Morton, forgotten London
playwright, is her authentic sponsor.
and she made her debut on the boards
of London theater in 1898, the We
hicle of her maiden appearance being
a comedy of some theatrical effective
ness entitled Speed the Plow"
In the play Dame Grundy is the
wife of rich and successful farmer.
Dame Ashfield, another farmers wife,
for whom she is the object of innocent
envy and idolatrous alteration. can, do
nothing but talk of her and quote her
and invoke her approval on every oc-
casion and with reference to every
subject.
When she returns from the market
she tells her husband that Mrs. Grun-
dy's eggs and cattle are the best she
has seen there; and when news comes
that their daughter has married title
she exclainis:
Our Nellie married to real baro-
net! / wonder, Tummas, what Mrs.
Grundy will say?" Her husband be-
trays great irritation at every such
reference, and finally breaks forth:
BE quiet. woolye? Always din, ding
ing Dame Grundy into my ears-what
will Mrs. Grundy say? What will
Mrs. Grundy think? Can't thee be
quiet, let me alone, and behave myself,
Matty?" But the good dame is not to
be silenced

good idea of the formidable nature
OF the enterprise. and the immense
scale on which the work has been car
ried out. 1t shows how the huge
pipe has been carried down one side
OF the arid Jawbone canyon, across the
bottom of the valley and high up on
the opposite side to the point where it
owes below the surface of the soil,
and is continued underground.
The Jawbone siphon alone is 5000
feet in length-or over one and half
miles-m measures from seven feet six
inches to ten feet in diameter, and
has a total weight of 5000 tons. The
picture is taken looking north, from
the south rim of the canyon and 500
feet above the valley floor, and be-
tween the bottom of the canyon and
the point on its side where the pipe
plunges underground the difference in
level is $50 feet. At the lowest point
the water pressure is enormous-350
pounds to the square inch, which is
equivalent to twenty-four atmospheres
and to resist this internal pressure
on the pipe the steel here is one and
one-quarter inches in thickness, the
rivets used in fastening the sections
together being seven inches long.

BOYS LEAVE FARM FOR CITY
Strong and Rather Reliable LIGHT

Bailey of Cornell.

Professor Leon II. Bailey of Cor.

some inquiries as to why boys leave

rather reliable light upon this much
discussed question.

students of Cornell who. he had rea.

Among the replies received were
100 from persons bred on the farm
and planning to leave it. These assign

leaving the farm. the same being
roughly classified as follows:
Question of financial reward. .1O1
Question of physical labor. 80. rs
Question Of social and intellectual

Miscellaneous handicaps . Al

RINGING HOGS TO
PREVENT ROOFING
by PROF. ]. G. FULLER,
Wisconsin College Of Agriculture:

1t is too common an idea among
Wisconsin farmers that they must
ring their hogs in order to save pas
lures, especially In the spring OF the
| year. Perhaps there is some neces-
sity at certain seasons for ringing
pigs, but, as general rule, the sys-
tenn should be discouraged as far as
possible. II pigs are properly fed and
cared for there will be less tendency
to root than when they receive indif-
ferent attention. 1t Is a better plan
to keep them off from the soft ground
or pasture In the spring when the
ground is soft than to attempt to save
the pasture by ringing the pigs There
is great tendency when the ground
is soft and the feed and grass watery
and not as satisfying as later for the
pigs to tear up the turf. II they are
kept from the land until It is settled
and the surface firm, they will root
but little. II is certainly better to
handle the animals in this manner and
avoid ringing. IL possible. When ring
ing is necessary the young pigs should
be given but one ring just at one side
of the center of the nose. This will
serve the purpose of detracting their
attention from roofing and will over
come the habit for a time. Old sows

They should be driven into q crate or

case OF old sows IL Is usually adyis-
able TO put one ring on each side OF

Don't forget that the smaller a rife

Don't pull the trigger until you're

BY PROF. ]. c. HALPlN.
Wisconsin College OF Agriculture.

1t not infrequently happens that
eggs which are shipped to Chicago
from Wisconsin towns in summer are
returned as storage" eggs in winter.
The consumers are forced To pay ex-
press charges both ways, and also sl-
low the packers to realize a profit. In
the case OF Baraboo last year. for in
stance, eggs We're shipped to Chicago
till nearly October /, yet by November
the express companies began unload
ing crates of Banner Eggs" which
went to the same grocerymen who
sent out the summer eggs
One of the remedies for this situ-
alton would be cooperative cold stor-
age plants in the smaller towns. Then
the eggs could be put up where pro-
dueed, without sustaining the large
loss in transit that inevitably occurs
in summer. Another remedy would
consist in the large packers putting
up more branch houses.

A sufficient number OF these coop
erative plants have failed, however, to
warn business men that such estab-
lishments must be conducted along
sound principles. But as these fail
ures were due mainly to bad manage
ment and poor organization, the fault
may be considered as lying not in the
plan, but in it's execution. A large
number OF failures in the cold storage
business are due to the fact that some
young fellow takes half the stock of
the company for simply furnishing a
little time and energy to get others
to subscribe, so that plant capital
lied at $4,000 may have only half
of that available in actual cash. The
stockholders dollar then has value
of only 80 cents
When this is remedied and the egg
cold storage proposition is put upon
a sound business basis, there ought
to be great deal more money in
eggs for the farmer than at the pres
ent time.

China have led to professional crop
watchers" being hired to guard
against the larcenists eager to ply
their trade in orchard or field. In
some districts societies exist whose
business 1t is to furnish watchers
whenever required Almost every
field has its watch tower, and these
frail tenements are never deserted,
night or day, until the crop is gath
