CHILDREN's EVENING STORY

Uncle Wiggily's tail and the little
chickens and ducks were cheeping and
Quacking, as they felt SO sorry for
Uncle Wiggily, when, all at once the
rabbit gentleman thought of some
thing.
Quickly reaching out with one paw.
he took up a bottle of the green Easter
egg dye. He pulled out the cork with
his teeth and threw the green dye at
t. chimpanzee. 1t spattered all over
the bad animals left paw.
"Ha! Look at YOURSELF" cried I'm
Gle Wiggily. "You are turning green!
First thing you know you'll turn into
green umbrella plant!"
ooh, my!" chartered the chimpan-
zee, rather scared. "Wow!'
Then, before he could run away,
Uncle Wiggily took the red rose bot
tie of Easter dye and splattered that
on the monkeys other paw.
TIA! Look at yourself again."
cried the rabbit gentleman. First
thing you know you'll turn into red
banana"
mercy mel" chartered the chin
panzee, and he did not like that at all.
Then Uncle Wiggily caught up the
bottle of blue dye, and threw that
over the chimpanzee. 1t splattered on
his nose, and on his head and back
and legs.
Now look at YOURSELF" Uncle Wig
gily suddenly cried, as he held his
shaving looking glass in front OF the
red, green and blue specified crea-
ture. Look out. or you'll turn into
blue circus balloon and blow away"
| "Oh, mercy mel" jabbered the mon
key. "This is no place for mel" He
jumped out of the window, upsetting
all the other bottles of Easter dye, and
coloring himself yellow and purple and
pink and striped and plaid and brown
and black, and evening skillimigink
color.
"Ha! Hal" laughed Uncle Wiggily.
II guess you won't pull my tail today"
And the chimpanzee monkey was only
too glad to ge. away where he could
wash off the different colored dyes, and
he thought little of pulling tails.
But, alas!" said Uncle Wiggily
sadly, when he saw all his nice colors
gone. Il have nothing left with which
to dye the Easter eggs! What shall l
do?" @
And just then, being time for an
April shower, it rained very hard.
Then the sun came out, shining
through the mist, and, all Of sudden
there was beautiful rainbow, colored
violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow,
orange and red. The rainbow shone
on the empty bottles of dye Uncle
Wiggily had thrown at the bad tail
pulling chimpanZee, and a little hum
ming bird, fitting past, said:
There are some Easter colors for
you. Uncle Wiggily! Color the eggs
with the rainbow colors."
| And Uncle Wiggily did. He filled
the bottles with plain water and the
rainbow shining in the window, color.
ed them red, green, blue, orange and
even lemon.
"Ah, now. / will make some beautiful
Easter eggs" the rabbit gentleman
! said. as the rainbow faded away, leav.
ing the colored water in the bottles.
| So this teaches us that even bad
taiEpulling chimpanzee is good for
something, and in the next story |
shall have the pleasure Of telling you
about Uncle Wiggily's April fool; and
I do hope the rubber ball doesn't
bounce up and down In the china
closet, and break the nose off the milk
pitcher

ADVANTAGE IN PURE BREEDS
They Will Reproduce Their Kind With UnfaIing Certainty-Produce
 More Eggs Than Scrubs.

(By A. F. ROLF. Louisiana Experiment
 Station)
 Pure breeds offer the following ad. vantages over mongrels (a) There is reliability in their breeding, for, hay ing been purely bred for many genera tions they will produce their kind with unfailing certainty. (b) Every fair test that has ever been conducted has shown that the purebred chickens will give a greater egg production than the mongrels. Co In like manner it has been shown that the purebred chicken will give an improved quality of meat. fd) There is a greater uniformity in the size, shape and color of eggs and meat produced by the pure breed. tel The first cost of purebreds is but slightly more than mongrels (f) The cost of keeping purebreds is no great CT. (g) There Is more attractive ap- pearance to flock of purebred birds. fh) There is more efficiency from the feed consumed when the flock is uni form. il There is a good demand for purebred birds for breeding purposes. G) This demand means a greater sell ing value, or, in other words, greater income from a given number of birds.

COST OF ANIMAL DISEASES
Southern Farmers Sustain Loss 0. $4o,00o,0O0 From Texas Fever
 Other Troubles Expensive.
By c. II. GLOvER)

It is estimated that the United States has already expended over sl,. 5O0,O00 in fighting the foot-and mouth disease, and it has not yet been ex. terminated. While this amounL seems large, yet when compared with the aggregate losses from other conta. gious diseases of animals it is not so astonishing.
 It is estimated that Texas fever causes a loss of $40,000 009 a year. The government has been spending large sums of money fighting the fe- yer tick which causes the disease, but the greatest loss is to the southern states which, because of quarantine. are excluded from the markets of the North for several months every year. Tuberculosis of live stock comes next with a loss of $25.000.000; con tagious abortion, $20,000,000; anthrax. sl,5O0,000; scabies of sheep and cattle. $4,60O000; blaekleg. $6000,00 gian. ders, S5,000.000; parasites, $7,O00. QUO; poultry diseases, $S,750,000; other dis eases of live stock, $22 900 900; max. ing grand total of more than s20O,. 100000 lost to breeders and dealers in live stock every year.

BAD-FITTlMG HORSE COLLAR
One of the Most Important Parts of Set of Harness Often Faulty
 More Freedom Necessary.

(By w. II. DALRYMPLE, Louisiana Ex-
 pertinent Station)
 While the collar is one of the most important parts of a set of harness. or gears. it is also one that is very often at fault, either as eo fit or adjust ment.
 Some of the untoward results of bad-fitting collar are gals. congestion of the brain from pressure on the jug ular veins preventing the free return of blood from that important organ. and partial suffocation from excessive pressure on the windpipe.
 A collar. to fit well and allow the most perfect freedom of the animal. should have an even bearing on the shoulders; deep enough below to avoid pressure on the windpipe and blood vessels of the neck; without pinching from side to side. and the names should be applied so that the trace will not be attached too near the poiat of the shoulder.
