HOW DOGS GOT THEIR NAMES
Dividing the Canine Species Into
Breeds Well Known.

With dog shows everywhere to the
left of us and to the right at national
shows and the side shows, at outdoor
fetes, many women will be glad to
learn the origin of several popular
breeds of the canine family.
1t is probable that few lovers of the
most popular dog of today-the bull.
dog-know whence he obtained his
name. He is called bull" for the
reason that formerly his services were
employed in the driving of cattle. The
dog was trained to meet the PUSHES of
the bull by the simple expedient of
Selling it's charge by the most SEN
sitive part, the nose.
The spaniel, formerly one of the
most popular species of dogs, gets it's
name from Spain, from which coun-
try the first breeds were sent to Eng.

called Spanish dogs"

the contrary the fox. terrier is so
named because in the days when he

ployed by English sportsmen to draw
and kill the fox, being sent down into
Reynards burrow for that purpose.

PRODUCE FIRST CLASS EGGS
ties Of Wheat, Bran, Glover, Oys-
ter Shells and Grain.

Just because an egg is freshly laid
by an apparently healthy hen it can
not be assumed that it is always a
good egg. 1t requires plenty of clean,
wholesome food for the production of
first class eggs. Hens that are forced
to obtain the greater proportion of
their living as scavengers and given a
poor range to work on, cannot produce
eggs of as good quality as can
flock which is regularly fed a good
ration.
Eggs lacking in protein have a wa
terry white and the shell is apt to be
thin owing to the partial absence Of
lime. Such eggs, as well as being of
less value as a food, are more than
likely to bring forth puny chicks of
low vitality, subject to white diar.
rhea and an early death. With prop
err quantities of wheat, bran, clover,
oyster shell and sound grains in the
ration fed to laying hens, eggs with a
firm SHE'LL rich in protein and delicate
ly favored are sure to result, provid
ing, of course, that the flock is given
clean nests and runs and is kept free
from lice and mites.

deep enough in the trough to permit
the duckling to bury its head in the
fluid. 1t will eat little and then run
to the trough. That is why they throw
so much of the water out of the trough
and on the ground, as they are then
washing their heads, bills and nostrils.
When ducklings are fed very heavily
on an exclusive grain diet they will
sometimes have giddiness, weak legs
and may be unable to stand. Damp
quarters also cause weak legs. Shade
must be provided for the ducklings in
hot weather. as many losses will occur
If they are exposed constantly to the
suns rays.
Rats seem to prefer diet of
duckling to one of chicken when the
two classes of poultry are kept in the
same yard. For this reason, if all
rats cannot be wiped out, floors should
be used in the coops and the ducklings
should be fastened in each night,
though ample ventilation must be pro-
vided. A duck should be full grown
when three months old, so far as size
is concerned

GREAT THINKERS LIKED PIE
Noted Philosophers Celebrated for
Their Fondness for Common
place Dessert.

Commenting on the Inconsistencies
of longevity, writer recently cited
the fact that, though lifelong devo.
tee to apple pie, Emerson lived to be
over seventy-eight years old. That,
however, is not the important fact
Many persons have lived to even a
greater age. The distinctive feature
of Emerson's pie-eating career is the
wholesome, cheerful and thought-com
polling system of philosophy which
1t brought forth.
To demonstrate that apple pie had
much to do with Emersonian optimism
is no task at all.
Thomas Carlyle, whose disciple and
friend Emerson was, never ate pie,
md although as great a lover of man.
hind as was the sage of Concord, Car
lyle was victim all his life of mel
ancholia and dyspepsia and hard
words. BY intellectual descent and
association Carlyle was a German,
his thought being fed by Goethe, Schil
der and others Of that great group. But
he adhered to the Scottish diet, which
does not harmonic with Teutonic
philosophy, and so he became phys.
ically and mentally dyspeptic. Pie
might have saved him had he taken it
in time.
Further to emphasize the point that
pie, or apple pie, at any rate. is the
optimistic factor of philosophy, it is
necessary to cite the fact that Metz
sche, who, in his unspoiled years, was
a devout and cheerful disciple Of EN-
erson, became the materialistic 'su.
perman" of Nietzsche's later pieless
years.
All budding philosophers who read
these solemn words should be warned
in time.

NEED OF WATER FOR A CALF
Necessity Not Generally Understood
and Young Animal Is Quite Free
quentIy Painfully Thirsty.

The young calf does not receive all
the moisture it needs from the skim
milk which 1t gets as a regular ration.
At very early age it will drink lit
tie water if it has an opportunity and
it will do this a number of times dur
ing the day.
1t is a good plan to have water be-
fore it at all times. This need of the
calf for water Is not generally un,
derstoOd and the young animal is
usually painfully thirsty as we'll as
hungry at feeding time. The result
Is that it gorges itself with the milk
or drinks too rapidly when it has
chance. Thus it does not get the full
benefit Of the milk and digestive trou-
bles will result. Remember that milk
is the calf's food. Water should be
its drink.

So a Bolt Can't Slip.

A method of locking a nut upon
oolt in such way that it cannot work
loose is the object of patent granted
to William Johnson of Pittsfield, Mass.
The bolt is the ordinary screw bolt,
but has a fiat edge down one side.
Upon this a washer, made of spring
steel is placed. The straight edge of
the hole in the washer fits that of the
bolt, thus making it immovable.
The surface Of the washer is
punched with round bosses. The I'M
der surface of the nut is bored with
the same number Of holes as there
are bosses and Of equal size.
When the nut is screwed down the
bosses yield under pressure until the
nut is driven home, when they fit into
the holes. The nut cannot work loose,
but can be removed easily with
wrench.

BUILDING UP A DAIRY HERD
Not Necessary to Go to Great Expense,
but Few Years of Time Are Re-
quired for Purpose.

Are you satisfied with your present
herd " nonpaying common COWS? If
not why not begin now to improve
them and get out of the old rut?
When developing the dairy herd from
common stock it is not necessary to
60 to great expense but a few years
of time are necessary i'll which to ac'
complish this.
The amount Of time called for will
to some extent, be dependent upon the
character of the stock that you now
have, or the one you intend to use for
a foundation herd.
In some instances two or three gen
erations of correct breeding will build
up a common herd to a fine paying
herd. In other instances longer
time will be required but it should
not require more than four or five
generations to effect the changes
sought.

PLAN TO PREVENT FIGHTING
Where Male Birds Run Together
There Is Always Danger Of Quar-
reIing-FowI's Memory Short.

II male birds are running together,
there is always danger of fighting If
they are not with the females, cutting
the beaks will put stop to the fight
ing; but sometimes it seems best to
keep two males with one pen. A chick
ems memory is short; one days con-
finement in coop away from his com
panion will apparently make the two
look on one another as strangers, and
they pronfptly square off for fight to
the finish.
To prevent this if males have been
separated or a new one is to be in
troduced where there is already a male
tie the two together with soft, strong
cloth-a strip of flannel is best-tak-
ing one leg of each-and let them get
acquainted. They are unable to fight,
and in an hour or so are so weary of
one anothers company that they have
no inclination to fight. If they try it
on being released, tie them up again
until they learn their lesson.

Castor beans grown under the protec-

good shade. Big branches broken
from trees will help on very hot days.
If you can do nothing better lay
some branches or stones on the roof
of the house and spread old carpet
or horse blankets over them. 1t will
greatly reduce the heat inside tho
house during the heat of the day Shut
out the sun and allow some opening
