as to run no danger OF being hurt
while enjoying the sport. II you know
how to do 1t you can dive about as
well In two feet OF water as in twen.

parts OF the country there are now
professional divers who are nightly
making crowds OF spectators hold their
breath with apprehension while the
DIVER drops from height Of so feet
or more into a small tank Of shallow
water.
When you dive draw the head down
slightly toward the chest and stretch
the arms forward on n level with the
breast, not raising them above the
mead. Bend the knees n triae and
make an oblique plunge. taking care
not to keep the body too stiff Don't
push too hard with the feet or YOU will

After entering the water instantly
throw the head back and turn vour

one cupful Of sugar. one teaspoonful
OF cinnamon, one teaspoonful OF

everything together in an agateware
saucepan and bring to a boil. Let Il

Color the Animal to Suit Yourself

Copyright, by Mcclure Newspaper syndi-

Long time ago. the deer had no
horns. He was great runner, and so
was the rabbit. All the animals wanted
to know which could run faster, and
they arranged a race. But the rabbit
was caught trying to cheat, and SO the
beautiful horns which they had made
as prize for the winner were given to
the honest deer.
The rabbit said to himself, Il must
get even with the deer for taking the
horns," and SO he fixed up a plan.
First the rabbit stretched a big
grapevine-as thick as your arm
across a trail and gnawed 1t with his
sharp teeth until it was almost cut in
two. Then he went back on the trail
a little distance and made a running
jump at the vine. He did this again
and again, and finally the deer came
along and asked him why he was doing
II.
Cant you see?" said the rabbit. Il
am so strong. and my teeth are so
sharp, that | can bite through that
grapevine at one jump"
well, I'd like to see you do It,"
said the deer, who didn't believe what
the rabbit had told him.
Watch, them" said the rabbit, and
made a great jump and bit the grape
vine through just where he had
gnawed 1t before.
IF you can do that can, too," said
the deer. So the rabbit stretched an.
other grapevine as big as the first
across the path, but this time he did

Here are few hints which you

Ing:

out OF n boat not to upset It.
Don't change seats in midstream.
but always wait until you are close

II you hire n boat, make sure that
everything is in good condition.

knowing the rule OF the water"

not gnaw 1t at all. Then the deer went
back on the path. made long run and
a jump, as he had seen the rabbit do,
but when he struck the gravepine 1t
only threw him backward on his head.
He tried 1t again and again, but could
not bite through.
Let me see your teeth" said the
rabbit at last So the deer opened his
mouth and showed the rabbit his
teeth. They were long, like a VOLTS
teeth, but not very sharp.
NO wonder you cant do the trick"
said the rabbit. Your teeth are too
blunt to bite through anything. Let
me sharpen them for you and make
them like mine. Mine cut through
things just like a knife!"
The deer thought that was the right
thing, and so the rabbit got rough
piece OF stone and began to file away
at the deer's teeth. He filed them until
they were down to the gums.
That hurts!" said the deer, but the
rabbit told him 1t always hurt a little
just as the teeth were beginning to
get real sharp. So. the deer kept still.
Now try It again." said the rabbit
at last. And the deer made a run and
jump at the grapevine, but this time
he found that he could not bite into It
at all.
Now" said the rabbit, you've paid
for your horns!" and he ran away
through the bushes.
Ever since then tie deer's teeth have
been so short and bluat that he cannot
chew anything but grass and leaves.

ATTENTION TO CHICKS
WARM BRooDER AND PROPER RA.
TIoN ARE ESSENTIAL.
Eggs Should Be From Carefully Sc,
lected Stock, Well Fed and
Housed to Produce Sturdy
Stock-What to Feed.

By DIR. SANBoRN. Holden, Mass. Copy
right, 1914)
There is less fuss in rearing of
chicks than few years ago. A warm
brooder, some fine litter, cracked grain
and grit, with perhaps a mash con.
tanning ground grain and animal food
and you should raise 80 per cent OF
the chicks.
Every chick deserves to be well
hatched, of sturdy ancestry and prop
erly reared. The eggs should be from
carefully selected stock, well housed
and fed, to produce chicks that stand
adverse conditions. The hen or incu.
bator should do its part well, as many
a slip is made between the laying of
the egg and the Matching of the chick
! prefer the lamp heated brooder to
either the hen or the heatless brooder,
for while some hens do good brooding
and in some seasons you can raise
good chicks with the fireless brooder,
yet for easy, successful brooding OF
80 chicks my preference is for the
heated brooder.
The chicks, when dry, are taken
from the hen or machine and trans.
ferred to the well warmed brooder. ]
prefer 1t should be fully as warm un.
der the hover as was the incubator,
then, IL too hot, the chicks can be
spread out into the less warm part OF
the brooder floor, or II at any hour
the temperature drops the chicks can
retire to warmer place under the
hover.
. What to Feed -hem..
At the start the chicks get cool wa.
ter to drink and only the food that is
in the barn waste is used to cover the
brooder floor Really they need nc
food, and what they find in the waste
is plenty. When few days old they
need light feeding of cracked wheat,
good fish or beef scrap personally ]
have found nothing better than a good
grade of fish scrap) added at eight
days Of age and finely cracked, dry
corn at ten to twelve days. 1t is I'm.
portant that all chick feed be sound,
sweet and clean. Avoid musty corn,
scrap that is fit only for fertilizer
and stale drinking water. Unless
there is some grit in the barn waste
that is used for brooder floor 1t should
be supplied. Chicks need a warm
place to retire to when cold, an open
room TO get out into and exercise, hs
well as grass run to range over
when two weeks old. Close confine
ment to hot breeders tends to give
leg weakness. AS the chicks grow
in age the heat OF the brooder can be
reduced to about so degrees. Toe
many chicks are hatched that are
doomed to die because from weak
stock or incubated wrongly, but the
blame is usually laid on the brooder
Yearling hens make the best OF breed
ers.
