Lewis Outtahs McKetrick: Manages
to Explain That "Moran Can Fight"

| knew AL had the Good-a-bye Joe In
his right glove II he would only deliver.
There was only one way to ease 1t over
and ! took this pretty big boy into a
corner and says I to him:
".Al, you're fighting for the honor and
glory OF the German blood tonight.
Forget everything else and remember
that no man by the name of Coffey can
possibly be n use to you. Do him,
that's all. Now this is what you do,
Al. He's like all the rest OF them. You
can't possibly miss. What you do is to
start a wicked left hook for his chin
the darned first thing of the first second
Of the first round. Don't daily. Do II.
Like all the chumps IN the world, he'll
stick out his left to block II, and all
you've got to do Is to shoot across with
the Gooda-bye, Joe
Now, III leave II to you, McKctrick,
Didn't Il come out that way? Re fair
now, Dan. Didn't Reich do as said and
didn't the Gooda Bye Joe catch the big
Mick right on the chin, and wasn't he
dead as a mackerel on his heels for fully
fifteen seconds. and didn't ! think of my
thousand dollar bonus and didn't I yell
my liver out of place, and didn't Reich
stand there looking at him as though he
thought Coffey supernatural.
"Be fair, Dan. Now didn't all that
happen"
moran can't fight" said Dan quietly.
"Oh, the unfairness of these impre-
! sarios," walled poor Lewis. 'The only
thing | ever wished hard for In my life
was big blond Frank Moran at that mo-
ment. Great head, a quick thinker from
knickerbockers and "A hitter. DO you
boys think for "A moment that Moran
would have backed away and rubbed his
shin with his glove as Reich did when
the enemy was on the Fritz Frank
couldn't do that. He's got too much
class. He's a brain Teller"
"You were coaching Reich, weren't
you, Mr.. Lewis" said McKetrick
Didn't you get us all to bet on "A X, o. p
"Yes. I aduat II all. got you TO bet
on a X. o, old Reich what to do. but
he didn't go through with II. ! don't wan
to say that a man isn't game, but. gee
whiz, you'l all nave to admit that old
Ben Butler knew what he was talking
about when he said; Pigs Is pigs"
"And yet Moran can't fight" said Dan
And again he can added Willie
"TIe ran take tho hardest punch on the
Jaw of any man l ever knew and still
fight. He a take them on the CHR
and never wabble a bit. what's more
he can sock some himself. And yol

Diplomatic Honors.

Diplomatic agents are In three
classes: First, ambassadors, legates,
and nuncios; second. ENJOYS and
ministers; third, charges d'affaires.
An ambassador Is thus the highest
diplomatic official sent from one coun-
try to another, and a minister is an
agent Of the next lowest rank. The
ambassador represents not only the
state from which he Is sent, but the
person Of his sovereign, and Is enti-
tied to ask an audience at any time,
to rank next the blood royal, and to
be held exempt, with his household.
from local Jurisdiction. Envoy ex-
traordinary and minister plenipoten-
tiary" Is the full title of the diplomat
ic agent of the second class, who rep
resents only the state, and not the
person of the ruler. Charges d'affaires
are lesser representatives, and must
deal with the ministers of foreign af-
fairs of the country to which they are
sent. The embassy is the headquar-
tiers of the ambassador, the legation
that of the minister.

ALFALFA AND OATS
FOR DRAFT COLTS
Greedy, Mature Horses Often
Eat Too Much and Suffer
From Impaction.

Growing draft colts have seldom, II
ever been injured by eating too much
alfalfa and oats. Mature horses OF q
greedy disposition, IL allowed to run
to alfalfa racks at will, may eat too
much and suffer attacks Of impaction.
Draft mares heavy in foal, and taking
but little exercise, not infrequently
suffer from attacks of this nature. An
alfalfa pasture is a splendid place to
develop draft colts with maximum
Of bone and muscle.
Some complaint comes from the
humid regions to the effect that mares
on alfalfa pasture during the breeding
season are hard to get in foal. This
trouble seems to be more or less local
and can be prevented by temporarily
keeping the mares in other pastures.
An alfalfa patch forms a splendid
night pasture for work horses, provid-
ing they are used to It and are turned
out regularly.
Good, well-colored alfalfa is OF prac-
tically the same composition as wheat
bran. and is of equal value to 1t In the
horse ration.

SANITARY FLOORS
IN DAIRY STABLE
Concrete Is Best and Should
Be Used When Building Is
Being Erected.

Brick or concrete are the only
floors one can safely say are sanitary.
Brick should be laid upon good sub
base, and IL this Is not good firm
foundation it should be we'll tamped
before laying the brick.
The brick floor having been COM
pleted the cracks should be filled with
a mixture of cement and sand. The
proportion which will best fill the re-
quirements is one part cement to one
and one-half parts Of good, clean sand.
This should be mixed thin enough
to spread easily and then swept into
the cracks with heavy barn broom
or steel brush. Such a floor will be
found very sanitary and not so slip
perry as concrete.
Concrete Is the best and most sani-
tary floor that can be used in dairy
barn, and effort should be made to
have such floors installed whenever a
barn is being constructed. When stable
floors become dangerous, making 1t
necessary to replace them, concrete
should always be used IL the floors rest
upon the ground.

(By F. G. HERMAN.)
When nectar is gathered 1t is thin
and watery. The heat of the hive, aid
ed by the manipulation of the bees,
gradually reduces the nectar to thick,
ripe" honey. When the honey is ripe
the bees seal it over That is their
finishing touch which proclaims that it
is ready for market, or for use. While
there is an excess of water in the
honey, the bees will not seal it over.
They will leave 1t to evaporate.
This process Of evaporation is the
ripening process. AS it goes on, the
honey gets thicker and heavier, until
it has reached the proper density.
Then, as already remarked, the bees
certify to its ripeness by sealing it
over.
After honey has been thoroughly
ripened in the hive and is then re-
moved. its future palatableness de-
ponds entirely upon the care that it re-
ceives. Too many look at honey as
simple sweet, like cane sugar, forget
ting that its flavor, it's aroma, are it's
chief attractions, and honey, when
first taken from the hive, has very
distinctly the flavor of the flowers from
which it was gathered.
Each variety of blossoms gives
distinctive flavor. BY tasting of honey
an expert can very readily tell from
what class of blossoms it was gath
cred.
Thoroughly ripened, extracted honey
should be at once put into bottles, cans
or barrels, and sealed up tight, and
then put in a dry place. 1t will Of
course, soon candy or crystalline, but
the flavor will be retained indefinite
ly and the honey can be liquefied when
ever it is needed for use.
Care must be exercised in melting
the honey that the flavor is not in
jured by the application Of too great
heat. OF course, the honey will not
be burned If it is not heated hotter
than boiling water, but the application
of so great a heat as this rapidly
drives off the flavor.
Keeping the package closed and ap-
plying a very gentle heat, never above
$50 degrees, is the better way. Put
ting up the honey in such packages as
can easily be put into warm water
makes the liquefying more convenient.

When reliquefying granulated honey
place the receptacle containing the
honey into vessel Of water and place
few thin strips Of wood between the
bottom of the two cans.
The honey should be kept at heat.
ed temperature for at least three or
four hours according to size of re-
ceptacle) to insure perfect liquefying.
Any granules which are not thorough.
ly dissolved will hasten the solidify.
ing of honey.
Light and cold are two elements
which also have an undesired effect.
Probably the best condition for pre-
serving honey is to keep it warm, dry
and dark, similar to it's condition in
side of the bee hive.
Honey has great affinity for mois-
damp atmosphere it will absorb the
moisture through the lightly porous
cappings and become thin and watery.
The bulk of the honey will be so in
creased that it will burst the cells and
ooze out. The honey may become SO
thin that fermentation may set in.
Cold is also detrimental to comb
honey, causing it to candy in the cells.
When comb honey is first taken from
the hives it should be stored in hot,
dry atmosphere.
Very few people know how to keep
honey. The average housewife will
usually put the honey in the cellar or
into the refrigerator for safe keeping.
About the two worst places possible.
Honey is kept very differently from
fruit.
Honey is thoroughly ripe when taken
from the hive and will therefore not
ferment unless it is placed in a cool
moist place.
A great many have not learned that
1t Is just as important to take proper
care Of the honey and put it on the
market in first class condition as il is
to use the best and most economical
means Of securing 1t.
One of the essentials Of proper care
is keeping the honey in a very dry and
warm place; especially is this true of
comb honey or extracted honey in
open cans. Honey taints very easily
and for this reason / prefer that as lit
tie smoke as possible be used when
taking 1t from the hive.
