The improved appliances for sport re
quirements have nearly ousted the old
fashioned herdsmens sleds which are
now only occasionally used by timid
beginners. The up-to date vehicle is
the so-called skeleton, a low, yardlong

Skiing has taken root to an extraor-

the poorest youth does not want to do
without skis, though they might con-
sist of only couple of crudely adjusted
barrel slaves Thanks to the ski, the
boys and girls living on remotely sit
uated farms are now able to attend
school every day: their parents are no
longer isolated for the best part of the
long winter months. and. thanks also
to the wooden wings of Norway the
mail and newspapers can be delivered
regularly.
Sport is furthermore made easier by
the different mountain railways, which
in winter run toboggan trains. Thus
one can travel a couple of stations up
ward and arrive at "A starting point on
mountain road without eXertion and
without waste of time. Then one
descends to the valley on toboggan, ski

banshed and where every human being
seems to realize that the best life after
all is found right next to natures
heart.

MAKE PROFIT IN cocKERELs sows ovERsupPLY OF MILK
Care Should Be Taken Before Farrow
Ing Time to Give Feed That VIII
Not Stimulate Milk.

Sows are like cows; some of them
are heavy mixers, while others are
light. Heavy feeding produces too
much milk on one SOW and just right
on another, therefore we have to treat
the sows according to their charac-
ter as mixers.
A SOW which produces too much
milk for her pigs should be fed light
ly for ten days before narrowing time
and fed on feed that would not be
milk.producing, so that the pigs will
be able to take care of all of 1t. When
they become little older. one can
begin to feed her heavy on milk-pro-
ducing feed.
The pigs will then show their good
breeding in their growth and the pigs
in their turn will be apt to raise
big litters of choice individuals. Care
should be taken therefore to feed her
before narrowing that character Of
feed that will not stimulate the milk
production, and she should be closely
watched after narrowing TO see that
the milk is cleaned out by the pigs.
II she is quiet SOW and the pigs
failed to absorb all the milk, that left
might be taken from her either by
putting some larger pigs to suckle
her or taking It by hand. But II she
is not fed stimulating milk feed for
ten days before narrowing 1t is not
likely there will be any trouble.

BILE into dirty milk pail by dirty
hands Of a mixer who wears dirty
clothing. 1t is quite an evident fact
that clean butter, cream and cheese
cannot be obtained from dirty milk.
The point is this: Mr.. Milkman,
the better class OF consumers want
clean foodstuffs and are willing to
pay good margin above the aver
age market price for dairy products
which are absolutely pure and cloan.
and guaranteed to be so.
Dairymen, take a little more time
and care in cleaning your stables
and cows. Require your mixers to
wear clean clothing, wash the cows
udders and such other parts that may
need II, and wash their own hands
before starting to milk. Use buckets
with small tops. or partially covered
tops, and see to 1t that dirt of any
kind doesn't get into the pals.

your methods are sanitary, aud see II
they will not bear me out in that they

LAYING TWO EGGS PER DAY
Very Unusual Occurrence, But II Does
Happen, Says Connecticut Expert
ment Station.

While II is generally accepted that
hens will occasionally lay two eggs
a day. the occurrence is very unusual.
That 1t does happen Is indicated by
the following statement from the egg.
laying contest at Storrs. Connecticut:
Two eggs a week Is q better per.
Torrance than the average hen makes
at this season OF the year. but two
eggs In one day is the record of a
White Leghorn pullet. The laying
contest does not expect to establish
very many layers Of this sort, nor
does 1t anticipate that the few birds
who do this extraordinary feat will
be able to repeat 1t very often. As a
matter Of fact. the records of the first
contest held at storrs show that only
four hens laid two eggs in any one
day during the entire year. or. in
other words. this thing happened once
for about each $4,000 eggs that were
gathered"

THE DIARY OF A FOOL.

Monday: Got up late. Bolted break
fast. Rushed for the train. Arrived
at Office behind time. Boss was there
waiting for me. He made a remark
about hardness. Went to dance. Got
home at one. Tired.
Tuesday: Got up late as usual No
breakfast. but got to Office on time.
Felt sleepy and Boss noticed It Put
two letters into wrong envelopes and
mailed them. Guess there's going to
be trouble. Went out with the boys,
Had four drinks and smoked six
cigars.
Wednesday: Ten minutes late at
office. Boss didn't appear to notice
1t. but maybe he did. Felt sleepy and
made some mistakes. Guess l must
cut out this night business. Got home
on time, ate supper. went to bed at
nine and read until eleyen.thirty.
Thursday: Had FIVE minutes for
breakfast, but got my regular train.
1t was late, so didn't get to the office
until nine-thirty. Didn't feel like
work, but managed to pull through.
Six of us went to the movies and
then played pool until midnight. Lost
three dollars.
Friday: On time at office. Went
to lunch at twelve and didn't get back
till two. Met friend and enjoyed !
table d'hote with him. Had something
to drink. Lucky for me the Boss was
out when came in. Called on Mildred
and didn't get home till midnight.
Saturday: Oversight. No break
fast. Twenty minutes late at office.
Boss was there. of course, tuning
and fussing because there was some
thing for me to do right away. Blew
my head off: I'll bet he never was
young himself. Life is hard. Lucky
for me this was a half-holiday. Had
a chance to sleep 1t of. Don't like
the Boss. He isn't fair Just raised
the pay Of the fellow sitting next to
me. | asked him IL he would raise
mine, too. Did get it? Nix! Came
pretty near getting kicked out. There's
no chance for young man nowadays.
Think I'll look for another Job where
there's opportunity.
Sunday: Spent morning In bed. Too
tired to get up. Went out In the
woods with some of the fellows in the
afternoon. Drank three bottles of beer
apiece and smoked. All the fellows
Disguised with their jobs. Agree with
me that there isn't any chance for a
young man. Namby-pambies and
goody-goodies get all the snaps. One
Of the fellows said his boss caught him
drinking cocktail and raised the
deuce. Gave him long lecture. What
business was 1t Of his, anyway. as
long as John didn't drink in the office?
His boss is fool. Says he has right
to say what his clerks shall do at
home. Kicks because they go out
nights. I'd like to see my Boss try II
on me. 1t wouldn't take much to make
me go anyway. Bill Jones has good
scheme up his sleeve. Guess I'll go
with him. Bill says there's no chance
for fellow in this city. Talked 1t
over with Mildred tonight She
doesn't enthuse. Says I'd better make
good at home before | get out. What
does a woman know about business
anyway?

CAUSE OF ELECTRIC SPARK
AZ to Why a Whip Cracks 10 Rea
soned Out by an intelligent
Observer.

A theory as to why whip cracks
was discussed in the columns OF the
Scientific American. Jessie NJ. Jones
OF Canton, Pa. had new and inter-
esting theory expressed in a letter
to the Scientific American.
Il was in a half illumined harness
store where he merchant happened
to be trying whips" she writes. One
particularly loud snap produced an
electric spark at the end of the lash.
AL! OF a sudden the idea occurred to
me that the snap was not made by the
lash at ell, but was produced by tho
action OF the lash dividing the air and
that Il was the instantaneous concus-
sion Of the air that produced the snap
and the electric spark was the fric-
ton caused by a division of the cur
rent OF air. the SAME as in a thun-
derstorm. Why not?"

(By c. A. BURNS. Oklahoma Expert

EDUCATION.

The academic school has two dis
tinct provinces: first. to teach the
three RS, In order that one may not
be illiterate; secondly, to impart
knowledge beyond necessity, which
will enable its receiver better to meet
present and future conditions.
Expert and unbiased educators do
not question the value OF the first, bur
are not united regarding its second
purpose.
How far should one go ACCIDENTALLY,
If he would enter life properly pre-
pared to meet its requirements?
Opinion is divided, Upon general
principles, however, 1t may be said
that one is not likely to become over
educated ACCIDENTALLY, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the curricula of most
schools and colleges contain as much
Of the char as the wheat of learning.
Until we know what to teach and
what not to teach, II is obvious that
more than small proportion of the
waste cannot be eliminated.
The higher forms of education un-
doubtedly discipline the mind and
make one better able TO grasp condi-
tons and to make good" in every d.
rection.
Education is of no value unless 1t
makes a man mere efficient to him.
self and to others.
The mere memorizing, of q study Ia
worse than wasted time, yet this con-
dition unfortunately prevails to some
extent In nearly every institution.
The pupil is often ranked by what he
is able to repeat. rather than by what
he actually knows.
However necessary academic edu-
cation may be In preparatory sense.
neither the school nor the college can
take the place Of experience.
The School of the World, or, rather,
the School of Experience, is the post
graduate institution which plays no
favorites and which has no fads or
fancy courses.
Real education does not end with the
academic course. 1t begins after that
course is finished.
No amount of book learning, men,
orizing or academic training. even
under the most favorable conditions,
can be substituted for experience.
The man who stops learning when
he leaves his school stops living. 1t
would be better for him. and for the
community. If he used the little sense
he has as weight with which to
drown himself
Many a college graduate goes out
into the world laboring under the
delusion that what the college has
given him is negotiable merchandise.
salable In any market, and usually he
places an inflated price upon 1t.
The education which he has re.
ceived, rightly used, is an asset; but
by itself alone II is drag.
Education. then. has no value in
itself. II is valuable only In so far as
1t enables one to use himself to better
advantage.
