One Good Story
The Argumentative Scot.

Orison SWEET Marden tells of Scot,
M'Gregor, who was argumentative
and fearless. Early one morning he
was returning home when pistol
was poked in his face; and he heard:
Throw up your hands!"
"Why?" said M'Gregor, calmly.
Throw them up"
"But what for?"
"Put up your hands," insisted the
footpad, shaking his pistol. "Will
you do what l tell your
"That depends" said MGregor. eff
ye can show me any reason why I
should put up ma hands, I'll no. say
but what | wull; but yer mere re-
quaist wad be no justification for me
to do SO absurd a thing. Moo, why
should you, a complete stranger, ask
me at this 'oor O. the morning, on a
public street, to pit up ma hands?
"If you don't obey my orders, I'll
blow the top of your head off," said
Mr.. Robber.
What Faith, man, and ye must
be oot o. your head Come, moo, puir
buddy" said M'Gregor, soothingly,
coolly catching the pistol and wrest-
ing it with quick twist out of the
mans hands. "Come, moo, an I'll show
We where they'll TAX care o. We. Hech!
dinna try to fecht, or I'll shoot ye.
By the way, ye might as weel put up
yer ain hands, and just walk ahead

snend NOT the remnant Of thy Gays

Spend not the remnant Of thy Gays
in thoughts and fancies concerning
other men, when it is not in relation
to some common good, when by 1t
thou art hindered from some better
work. That is, spend not thy time in
thinking, what such a man doth, and
to what end: what he saith, and what
he thinks, and what he is about and
such other things or curiosities which
make a man to rave and wander from
the care and observation of that part
of himself which is rational and over
ruling. See therefore in the whole
series and connection of thy thoughts
that thou be careful to prevent what
soever is idle and impertinent; but
especially whatsoever is curious and
malicious.-Marcus Aurelius.

BOY SCOUTS.

Boy Scouts here? By all means.
Every father and mother in Columbia
should join the organizers of this

with better influences and environ

that is so much desired and too often
lacking. The boys activities are d.
rected by men of clean habits and
strength of character, men to whom
boys look, men of the kind it will be
good for the boys to emulate. For
the examinations a scoutmaster must
pass make it impossible for any less
worthy man to become the leader.
Here then is the solution of prob

less. And furthermore, it is one or
the instances in which boys consent
to be watched and ruled in their own
special field of life. They fall for
it, as they would say.

STORAGE OF SWEET POTATO
Ordinary Cave or Cyclone Cellar
Makes Very Acceptable House
Crates Give Best Results.

By N. o. BOOTH, Department Of Horti-
culture, Oklahoma Agricultural Col
lege)
Sweet potatoes should be kept in a
building which Is almost impenetrable
to outside heat or cold. One of the
best buildings we have found for this
purpose is the ordinary cave or cy-
clone cellar. Such a cave, II fitted
with double ventilators, makes a very
acceptable sweet potato storage
house.
The potatoes themselves had best
be stored in crates, although racks
give quite good results. AS soon as
they are taken from the field into the
house, fire should be started in the
stove, and the temperature run up to
100 to ITO degrees. This should be
kept up from four to ten days until
the potatoes are perfectly dry. The
temperature should then be allowed
to fall, and by opening the doors at
night and closing them early in the
morning the temperature should be
kept down to between As and so de-
grees. In this manner sweet pota-
toes may be kept ordinarily quite sat-
isfactorily.

SLAUGHTER HOGS IN WINTER
Good Plan to Provide Double Hook,
Bent Into "U" Shape, to Sup
port Gambrel Stick.

Farmers use a pole to hang the
hogs on at slaughtering time in win
ter. On this pole a gambrel stick is
placed, the ends being inserted In
the hook of the animals leg. 1t is
always a hard job to do the hanging
and place the gambrel stick at the
same time, writes Leslie R. Suffer Of
Towanda, ILL.,, In Popular Mechanics.
A better way is to provide double
hook of metal, heavy enough to sup
port the animal, and hang the gam.
brel stick on this hook, as shown.
The metal may be square or round,
bent into U-shape of such dimen-
sions that it will fit over the timber
used in hanging the hogs and with O
hook formed on each end. 1t is an
easy matter to insert the. gambrel
while the hog is lying on the work
table, then lift 1t by the gambrel and
place the latter on the hooks.

outside stake. Find the center Of the
middle hole as before. When these
holes are brought opposite each other,
one end of the back slab will lie 16
inches nearer the center Of the road
way than the front one. The holes
should be two inches in diameter. Care
must be taken to hold the auger plumb
in boring these holes In order that
the stakes shall fit properly.
The two slabs should be held 30
inches apart by the stakes. The
stakes should taper gradually toward
the ends. There should be no shoul-
der at the point where the stakes en-
ter the slab. The stakes should be
fastened in place by wedges only.
When the stakes have been placed in
position and tightly wedged brace
two inches thick and four inches wide
should be placed diagonally to them
at the ditch end. The brace should be
dropped on the front slab, 80 that its
lower edge shall lie within an inch of
the ground, while the other end
should rest in the angle, between the
slab and the end stake. A strip OF
iron about three and one-half feet long,
three or four inches wide. and one-half
of an inch thick may be used for the
blade.
An ordinary trace chain is strong
enough to draw the implement, pro-
vided the clevis is not fastened
through link. The chain should be
wrapped around the rear stake, then
passed over the front slab. Raising the
chain at. this end of the slab allows
the earth to drift past the face of the
drag. The other end Of the chain
should be passed through the hole In
the end of the slab.

The exercise so needful for poultry

PRUDENT TREATMENT OF EVE
In Winter Keep Her on Glover or A.
faIfa Hay Until After Lamb
comes-Glve Some Wheat Bran.

A sensible treatment Of the eve
that lambs in winter Is to keep her
mostly on clover or alfalfa hay until
after her lamb comes. There will be
no need to limit the amount Of hay
that she consumes after lambing and
then when her lamb takes all her
milk and wishes more, begin feeding
her little wheat bran. For a week
bran will suffice, gradually increasing
the amount fed, then there may be
added to it little chopped corn or
barley and little later some oil-meal.
A pound day Of this mixture will
keep her In good milk flow and 1t
must be gradually led up to for about
ten days. ~
About the right proportions Of this
mixture are lou pounds Of wheat bran.
100 pounds Of chopped corn and 20
pounds Of oil.meal. This with clover
or alfalfa hay will push her to very
heavy milk flow. II she Is large
eve she may consume more than
pound to advantage, as much as two
pounds being consumed by some large
Dorset ewes.
II this feed Is so gradually INTRO
duced. to the eve that her digestion ts
not disturbed nor her milk flow stim-
ulated too much at first, there is small
danger Of overfeeding heH supposing
that the lamb is to be pushed for
early market. Her unselfsh nature
turns the feed quickly into milk and
little of it goes to nourish her own
body. H

MoLDY FEED BAD FOR HENS
Cause Of Many Deaths Among Poultry,
Particularly Among Young Chicks,
Can BE Prevented.

Don't give poultry moldy feed. It
causes aspergillosis and chickens az
flicted with this are "lungers."
"Moldy feed and moldy litter IN
poultry houses are the cause of many
deaths among poultry, and particularly
among your chicks" says ]. B. Hayes
Of the poultry department Of the UNI
versity of Wisconsin. These molds
taken into the body Of the fowl cause
disease known as aspergillosis which
is as fatal as the name sounds. Among
poultry men, the chicks affected with
this trouble are commonly spoken OF
as "lungers."
The chick stands around in drowsy
manner and shows little desire to
eat. The wings hang down, the breath
is rapid, and white diarrhea is pres.
ent. Indeed, the disease is many
times mistaken for white diarrhea-
Older birds, when attacked, are mac
tive and sleepy. II forced to run. they
will fall from exhaustion. The breath
ing is rapid, the appetite Is diminished
and more or less catarrh Is present.
An affected chick will be found to
have soft yellow growths from the size
of a pinhead to that of pea, mainly
in the lungs but sometimes in the in
testines and mesentery. These growths
clog the air passages Of the lungs and
so cause the death of the birds. In
mature fowls there are two forms OF
the disease. The membranes lining
the air sacs and tubes may be covered
with a membranous formation which
is soft and yellowish and has an Of
fensive odor. Or there may be white
or yellowish nodules imbedded in the
tissues of the lungs. In either case
the disease Is incurable.
But since 1t is caused by moldy feed
or moldy litter it can be entirely pre-.
vented by cleaning up the poultry
house once in a while and keeping
moldy feed and litter away from the
flock. This Is only one Of the many
poultry troubles that can be avoided
by clean feed and clean pens and
yards.
