London Found Small

Regulation of automobile lighting

much vexation since the war began.
That automobile searchlight as de-

WHEN POLAND WAS DIVIDED
Frederick the Great of Prussia and
Catherine of Russia the Leaders
in the Movement.

The first partition of Poland was
actively commenced under the terms
of compact between Frederick the
Great of Prussia and Catherine of Rus
STA, in which Austria was invited to
take part. About one-third of Poland
was seized on the occasion. The Sec
ond partition in 1898 and the third in
1895 practically completed the dis
memberment of the ancient kingdom,
and after the congress of Vienna moth
ing was left of Poland out a memory.
Before the first partition the kingdom
stretched from the Carpathians to the
Baltic, a distance of 600 miles. Ger
many, Austria and Russia alike sought
to stamp out the language, literature
and national spirit of the Poles, but
with little success. The attempt to
force school children to adopt the Ger
man tongue resulted in many strikes"
Of the pupils, and the Poles were SO de-
termined in their attitude that all the
governments involved were forced to
make compromises.

POINTS ON RAISING CALVES
Good Shelter Should Be Provided
Furnish Abundance Of Alfalfa
Hay-Give Some Grain.

Give the calves shelter, but this
need not be too tightly built. A shed
open on the south with yard so they
can go in and out as they please is
about the thing. Bed this down nice
ly with some straw.
Fix rack so they can pull the hay
through the Stats and not waste it,
and keep this full of the finest, green
est alfalfa you can get A mixture
of crushed oats and crushed wheat
or of oats and bran will be good for
them.
If you are buying young calves not
yet ready to wean, feed them twice
a day on sweet skim milk, warmed
up to the temperature of fresh milk.
IL they are very young, feed them
three times a day, quart or three
pints at a time. After they are a
month or so old you can give them
a gallon each twice day.
Calf meal or similar preparations
are very satisfactory to replace milk.
Keep a mixture of dry cornmeal, bran
or other ground grains where the
calves can get 1t as they wish. Keep
the pens clean and let the calves have
plenty of air, light, sunshine and pure
water.

BREAD DRESSING FOR STEAK
Many Prefer Meat Prepared in a
Casserole to That sroiled in
the Regular Way

II you wish to stuff a flank steak
use bread dressing; use it with veg
etables and a small quantity of liquid
in casserole. II you do not own one
(and you should in these times Of
high prices) use any tightly covered
dish. Be sure it is tight so the steam
cannot escape.
Bread Stuffing.-Two eupfuls soft
bread crumbs, one-half cupful butter
melted in one-third cupful hot water
or milk, one-quarter teaspoonful pow
dered sweet herbs or spiced poultry,
seasoning. one beaten egg. Mix the
ingredients together thoroughly The
bread should be "a hours old and
taken from the center of the loaf.
The seasoning is a matter of indi-
vidual taste, so you can use the above
quantities or suit your taste. The
egg may be omitted If the flank is to
be eaten hot, but will slice better
when cold If egg is used. Cracker
crumbs give a drier stufflng.
Spread your flank steak with above
and roll tightly. Fry out some suet
and then brown the flank so as to
hold the juices. Put In casserole, add
little water and when half done sea-
son with salt and pepper. chopped
onions and plenty of fine minced vege-
tables or rice. whichever you may
prefer. The flank is quite juicy, so
you will need but little water. II

vegetables make up what the flank
lacks. II is much better this way

two heavy, awkward drafters and also
a 1000 pound mare of good breeding.

the others rest, and still she held her
own and kept in good order.

SIZE OF FARM HORSE
Farmer Wants Animal to Draw
Piow and Buggy.
Team, Well Built, With Snap and
Spirit Is Desired-Huge Drafters
Are Better Adapted to City

Ry J. NJ. BELLY


Neither the massive drafter nor the
diminutive pony are what the average
farmer needs. Being an average man
he wants a medium sized horse. one
that will do farm and road work COM

harrow or wagon and possibly a car

social visit and likewise goes to the

An $500 or 1000 pound drafter

Quirements: neither will 700 or 500
pound scrub
The average farmer wants some
thing betwixt and between. as the
saying is | should say from 1900 to
1.400 pounds-a team well built with
some snap and spirit, one that the
owner or the hired man will hold the
reins over with feeling of pride and
pleasure. Let the large manufacturing
concerns in the city use the huge
drafters.

horses some years ago. One man
drove them consecutively for nine
years hauling cordwood in the sum-
mer and fall months. Both OF these
horses were by sires who had a lib

their veins.
They did farm work regularly until
corn was laid by, then they were
put to hauling on the road. They

Stean-Heated Humming Birds.

The humming bird in captivity is
something of a rarity. At a recent
bird show in London several were ex-
hibited which were said to have been
living in captivity for six months. They
were shown in steam-heated cages,
each containing a little stove of its
own. The cages were decorated with
moss and orchids, and the birds OBJ
tanned a portion of their food by sip
ping the nectar from the latter. To
this was added a mixture of honey,
sponge cake crumbs and babies pat
ent food This seems rather a Curl
Gus diet, because cumming birds in
the free state feed largely on insects,
and hence would seem to require con-
siderable admixture OF animal food in
their dietary. 1t would be interesting
TO know whether these @littlest Of the
bird tribes" are as pugnacious in cap
tivity as when at large. Ordinarily
they seem to have no fear and will at
tack a hawk or a spider with equal
readiness. In view of the fact that the
humming bird is strictly an American
production II seems as though our own
Geological gardens might intern q
few.
