WANTED HUSBAND TO LOAF
Only Then Was He Agreeable, TestI fled Wife-Sought Divorce From
 Her Silent Spouse.

We read of him in three places in the dispatches of the day. The first case was where man kissed his wife against her will, which made her so mad that she had him arrested for assault and battery, and the court sentenced him to thirty days in jail
 Next case was where a woman had her husband arrested for getting drunk and abusing her. When before the court, here Is what she said:
 My mans a fine man when he's sober. The trouble is he earns money and spends 1t on liquor The only time he's behaved himself was when he was It working and got no money. l have An income and can support the family. l wish you'd make him quit work"
 All right" said the judge. And he sentenced the husband not to work for thirty days.
 The third case was a suit for di- vorce, where the wife charged that her husband would not speak to her. He would eat his meals without a word, then sit down with paper and read without looking at her or speak ing to her. So 1t has been going on for long time. Of course the court granted the wife a divorce. Having & silent, sour husband around is in. tolerable.-Ohio State Journal.

Wisdom of the Ancients.

It is now believed that the ancients used telescopes for astronomical pur- poses. In excavations in Babylonia lens has been found which was un- doubtedly used in telescope cen turies before the birth of Christ. The ancients, both Chaldean and Egyptian. were acquainted with the planetary system, knew that the earth was round, could calculate meridians ex- actly. calculate the orbits of the plan- cts; in fact, paid great attention to eclipss> of the sun and moon, to oo- cultations of the psanets, to the mo- tions of the planets, and the determi- nation of their periodic and synodic times, to the construction of tables of the fixed stars and the mapping of them into consultations and to set ting the exact length of the true solar wear. It is fair to presume, then, that they had telescopes to aid them in their work.

Bulls. Cows

In Clay County an association was organized in 1913. It has already imported twenty purebred bulls and Is purebred cows, and in March two members of the association were com missioned to buy $31 ,000 worth of pure stock in Missouri. This is in line with the recommendation of the Department of Agriculture to pur- chase purebred bulls comparatively for use in various districts of the county.
 Another very active live stock asso- citation is that of Madison County. This was organized in March 1912 with a membership of 20 which has since grown to 50. At first the asso- citation devoted itself to the extermi- nation of the tick, but as soon as this was sufficiently far advanced to make the importation of valuable animals a sound business venture, a vigorous campaign for the improvement of cat tie was begun. Meetings were held throughout the county for the purpose of familiarizing the people with the importance of either eliminating the scrub stock entirely or of improving their herds by the introduction of purebred sires. Improved methods of feeding were also advocated at these District associations were organized in the county and assisted in the purchase of registered bulls so that the small farmers might have in the benefit of their services. Altogether S3 bulls and 290 cows were last year for breeding pur- poses.
 Reports from Tennessee and Alaba- ma indicate that the movement is gaining ground there also.

CURE DOGS OF EATING EGGS
Small Amount of Tartar Emetic Will Break the Habit, According
 to Authority.

When eggs are bringing top rices in the market nothing is more dis couraging tsan to find, on making the round of the nests that the dog has been there before you. Often this parasite on hennery profits is fas l. fly pet that the owners do not wish to kill. But as with other pests, remedy lies only with killing or curing Here is cure which 1 have used success. fully:
 Buy one dram of tartar emetic- this is a poison and should be handled with the greatest of care. Under no circumstances sholud the powder be placed where it is accessible to chil- dren.
 Pip small piece out of an eggshell pour out a little of the contents> and put about as much of the tartar emetic as will cover the point of small pocket knife into the shell. Paste a small piece of white paper over the broken portion, and place the egg in one of the nests, preferably in a se- cluded spot, where the dog has been accustomed to pilfer. Put 1t where he can get 1t quickly before the hens have chance to crack the treated egg.
 Having eaten this poison the dog be- comes violently sick and will subse- Quently shun eggs. This means of curing the habit. though drastic, is effectual. It will not result in the death of the dog unless aa overdose Is given
 Some farmers use red pepper in- stead of the tartar emetic, pinch of pepper concealed in baited egg often being effectuai. Throughout the southern states Indian turnips when available are used in the same man. ner. This is a pungent plant which, when eaten, causes the tongue to smart and burn and often to swell George R Dacy in the Country Gen. ;leman.
