Veterinary Aid Given by State.

Minnesota livestock owners should
understand that their state has provided
for free veterinary service in connection
with serious infectious diseases of hve-
stock, says DIR. NJ. H. Reynolds, veterin-
ary division, University Farm, and a
member of the state livestock sanitary
board.
If a stock k.owner is in trouble on &C.
count Of supposed Infectious disease
he should report either to the local
health officer, to the chairman of the
town board, or directly to the livestock
sanitary board Office at the Old Capitol,
St. Paul. The. board will send expert
veterinary service to the relief of the
owner and the public as prampt]y as
possible.
Another feature of Minnesota's plan
which owners should understand is that
there is provision for reimbursement to
owners Of glandered horses or tuber-
culous cattle when the disease is repor-
ted and the fact that such disease exists
has been propealg shown.
Appraisal limits are fixed by law, $50
for graded cattle. $3.50 for purebred and
registered cattle, $125 for grade horses,
and $3.50 for registered horses. If cat
tie are killed on account of tuberculosis,
the owner receives whatever the carcass
may bring plus three-fourths of the
difference between such returns and the
appraisal. ID,

Days While Hunting Moose.
Edwin Gewalt, of breckenridge,
Minn., who was hunting moose
around Elbow Lake, as guest OF
&. N. Ashford at his trapping camp
there, lost his way while out alone
last Wednesday, Mr.. Ashford had
gone to town for his mail and sup.
plies, and Mr.. Gewalt, who is not
used to the woods and is not ac-
quainted in this region, went out in
quest of game. When Mr.. Ashford
returned to camp the next day &C.
walt was missing, and there was no
sign of him being there for some
time. After hunting around for
some time without finding any trace
of him, Ashford went to the Kasper
sawmlll camp and telephoned to
town for help to hunt tor the missing
man.
Five men, headed by Spencer
Ashford, left here at two o'clock
Saturday morning, arriving at the
camp about daybreak. About noon
that day he was found by one Of the
searching party on the lake shore a
short distance from the camp.
Mr.. Gewalt says he started out
Wednesday morning intending to
go for shor hunt, so did not take
any food with him, when lie lost ht
course completely. He did not dc
much travelling but wandered around
slowly, trying to find something he
would recognize. He climbed tc
the top of a hi yl hill, thinking he
would see something by which he
could locate> himself, but failed. He
then started due west as near as he
! could judge, hoping to strike the
Gunfint road, when he came to a,
old logging road and followed it fo'
sscme ,l',tance, where he got a
glimpse of Elbow lake, he ther
made for the lake and was walking
around the shore to get to the camp
when he was met by one of the
searchers.
Mr.. Gewalt had had nothing tc
eat for nearly four days, and had
spent three nights in the woods
He says he found a piece of a hollow
log, just wide enough to cover his
body. which he crawled under and
built fire in front of him. HI
spent two nights in this way. The
hunger bothered him considerable
the first two days, he says, but afte1
the second day he did not mind il
so much.
After spending couple Of day:
in the camp and taking some ligh
nourishment to start with and later
increasing his portions, hi:
strength soon returned. He came
down Monday evening intending t<
take the America for Iris home, bu
did not get here early enough te
catch the boat.
Mr.. Gewalt did not get his moose
but had an experience that he will
not be apt to forget for some time

Startling Becoming a Pest.

The English startling, introduced in
to this country some time ago., is in
creasing in numbers in a manner
which puts the far-famed sparrow to
the rear in the race and it Is claimed
by some that the starting will SOC be
a greater pest than the sparrow. When
the starting first came to us as a
stranger he seemed to have some SEM
blance Of a song or a melodious whis-
tie, but around the cities where he
preferably makes his habitation this
whistle is rarely heard, the ordinary
note or conversation of the bird
among his fellows being a sharp rasp-
ing sound, like the click of a fishing
reel. In order to determine the status
of the starting the government is con-
Quoting a number Of experiments and
examinations Of the contents Of the
birds stomachs to determine whether
the bird is truly i~nsectivorous or SIM
ply a scavenger Of the English spar
row type. One thing commended for by
some persons on behalf of the starting
Is that where he appears the sparrow
Is becoming a tree bird.

SLEEP IN QUILTS ON FLOOR
Bedstead-Open Window at Night
Not Thought Of.

A Japanese house hasn't a single
window. And it's only the most sty-
lish OF them that have a pane of glass.
A person who has a pane of glass
somewhere in the house sets the social
pace in that neighborhood. Instead
Of glass they have paper pasted on
sliding frames, and through the paper
the light filters. Naturally one Won
ders how they keep the rain out; this
is little trouble, for outside the paper
which also slide back and forth.
When the time m to retire, you
look around for the bed, but there
isn't one in sight. 1t is rolled up in
a drawer, and the japanese wouldn't
know a bedstead from a quilting
frame. Millions of people in Japan
have grown to manhood, voted, paid
taxes and gone to their reward with
out ever having clapped eyes On an
American bedstead. To make the bed
ready the servant opens the drawer
and unrOlls the quilts on the floor.

shuts all the paper windows and pulls

persuade a Japanese to sleep with

a low ceiling will keep them warm
and work out better in practice than
when the building Is constructed with
more headroom. Poultry do not need
a great amount Of cubic air space u
they do need frequent change Of air.
Il was in New York state that he
lime floor was tried out, and is still!
in use IN just such poultry houses as
this. The whole ground space is COW
cred with Stacked lime instead Of con-
crete. because lime is softer n wear
the claws less. at the same time sani-
tary conditions are Just as good. In
a wellregulated poultry house straw
is spread all over the floor to a depth
OF several inches; sometimes a foot
deep IL straw is plentiful. 1t is raked
out every day and another layer OF
fresh straw is supplied. Every morn
ing about daylight a feed Of grain is
scattered in the straw and the birds
dig to uncover their breakfast, thereby
getting their much needed exercise
TO keep them in good laying condi-
ton.
A lime floor will discourage rats
and mice as we'll as concrete, 1t Is
easily kept clean and it is not much
harder than a wooden floor. There Is
very little or no grit in pure lime.
If the hens want more egg-shell ma
terial than they can get out OF the
ground oyster shell hopper feeder,
they can dig up part of the floor and
eat il. They often prefer to do so,
il makes a change from the oyster
shell. which is the common lime sup
ply used in the eastern states.
Every good poultry house has a con-
crete foundation wall extending all
the way around. Concrete is the only
satisfactory underpinning for a poul-
try house for the reasons that it is
permanent and it is a positive protec-
ton against rodents and vermin. Ex-
posed concrete, the wall above ground,
should be w~hitewashed to fill all the
little cracks and crevices. The whole
interior of the house needs whitewash-
ing at least twice a year; once a
month is a good rule. There are so
many different kinds OF poultry in
seCts that it is absolutely necessary
to treat the inside Of the house with
either lime or crude oil to hold them
in Chez.
The plan OF this poultry house pro-
yides two compartments about fifteen
feet square each. An expert poultry
man or woman will keep forty hens
in each compartment through the win
ter and keep them i'll good laying CON
dition. 1t is considered the most prac-
teal and satisfactory way Of housing

The house is not big enough to af-
are a nuisance anyway. Our grand
mothers used to cook in the kitchen
and lift the hot, steaming appetizers
directly from the stove to the table.
Modern fashionable inventions for
serving meals intervene so many
roundabout processes that the best
of eatables are spoiled in the circum-
locution.
Here is a kitchen lighted with four
windows, and darkened by thick
heavy shades that may be pulled
down to keep out part or all of the
sunlight. 1t has a white floor of hard
wood, white Dashboard and white
window and door trim, with white
walls and ceilings, making a model
room that is bright enough and clean
enough to satisfy the most particular
people at meal time or any other time.
A cooking range kept in good condi-
ton is an interesting article of furni-
ture. Probably one Of the greatest
charms of bungalow life is the oppor-
tunity 1t affords to go back to original
simplicity.
Modern house plumbing is repre-
scented in the bathroom and at the
kitchen sink, where hot and cold wa
ter are supplied for domestic pur-
poses in the most approved manner.

poultry in the winter time in New
York state climate.
1t is customary to provide from
three to five square feet Of floor area
per fowl. There are about 225 square
feet Of floor surface in each room,
which divided by five gives a rated
capacity Of As fowls in each compart-
ment. 1t is the ambition of many poul-
try raisers to start in the fall with
about n hundred o~ne-year-old hens
and pullets. The number very often
is reduced to about eighty or ninety
before Christmas, SO that the plan
works out about right for a poultry
business Of this size.
Old hens are not profitable. Two
years is about the limit Of energetic
egg production. All ~two-year-old hens
should be marked with leg bands as
candidates for chicken" salad.

the roof must be low in appearance,
and the second is that il must have

There Is no room upstairs In a

up straight in the attic of a real
bungalow except in the center under
the peak of the roof. All sorts of cot

LIFE IN BULGARIAN VILLAGE
Watering Places the Scenes Of Social
Gatherings, Where Young People
Get Together for Counting.

AS in the Bible times, ali the water
for the Bulgarian village must be
drawn from one or two wells or
springs, and these watering places or
fountains are the scene Of much so
liability. Hither come all the youths
and maidens of the village to loiter.
There is coquetting and counting about
the fountain and home gatherings in
the evenings. Marriages spring from
mutual attraction and choice, rather
than the arrangement of families, as
do the Armenian and Turkish alli-
ances. There are husking bees and
quilting bees where the young people
meet, but the most popular form of
social entertainment is the sedanka.
Here assemble the young men and
ONE Of the village and adjoining
farms, grouped about an open fire,
singing solos and choruses. The Bull
garian folk dances are danced in a
row or circle, the leader generally
waving a bright handkerchief and
turning and twisting about his line OF
followers, like a mild game Of snap

Astounding spirits and good Fellowship,
without the s~ensuality that so often
marks the oriental dance. Occasional
ly the sedanka ends in a dramatic
fashion. Some brawny fellow who
has been counting his Darka assidu-
ously will seize her in his arms and
carry her to his home. The next day
this marriage by capture" is given
legal and religious sanction by the
blessing of the orthodox priest.
