vigorous protest. He does not mlnce
words with his pretty sister or save
her ears from ugly truths that he in
tends as eye-Openers.
He tells her that all attractive
young men may not be what they
seem; that where one young man may
hold a young girls portrait as q sa-
cred possession, there are many 9th

reyerently, admire, the balance OF the
number would criticize, and even go
as far as to make impertinent re-
marks about the girl to get a laugh
from the others.

unpleasant experiences to cry out

Brothers are obliged to speak out
plainly that their sisters may cOmpre-

unexpected ways.

SORE SHOULDER IS

Collar Fitting Horses Neck Snug

A good collar, fitting the horses
neck, and names adjusted to fit the
collar without too great down and side
draft will do much to prevent sore
shoulders, says DIR. M. FL. Reynolds,
veterinarian at the Minnesota College
Of Agriculture. Sore shoulders can be
prevented easily by little care at the
right time. -.
collars must be kept clean to AVOID
sores. Many cases of sore neck are
caused also by loose names saving
back and forth until the top OF the
shoulder is raw.
"Some horses have abnormally
shaped shoulders. In this case, the
agricultural college veterinarian sug-
gests DR.. J. G. Curryer's plan of soak

"ScaIaWaQ."

The origin of the word "scalawag'
is unknown, though it can be traced
back to a period long antedating our
Civil War. "Sam Slick" pseudonym for
Thomas Chandler Halliburton, Cana
dian humorist (1797-1S65), used it. A
dictionary of Americanisms published
in 1S4S defined it as ''a favorite epithet
in western New York" The New
York Tribune in 1854 applied it to
scrub cattle and said 'the number of
scalawags is so great that they tend
to drag down all above themselves to
their own level" The Knickerbocker
Magazine in 1854 referred to San old
chap who might be classed as one of
the genus scalawag." After the Civil
war the term came into general use in
the South as a synonym of carpet
baggerS" or northern settlers in the
South. No authority attempts to fix
the origin of the word definitely, but
it always has had contemptuOus OF
disreputable significance.

The first step which should be
taken to protect girl is for her moth
er or woman guardian to secure her
utmost confidence, encourage her to
tell of her day dreams, whom she
meets and all about the acquaintance !;
how it is progressing, etc., advising her
so adroitly that the girl will scarcely
realize that fact. 1t is very delicate
matter, but the best way of making

Gus ground is for the mother to tell
her the story of this pretty maiden
and that one who lost good beau
simply by allowing him the privilege
of kissing her before he had uttered
word of marriage proposal.
If the girl who listens has a lover
of that kind, the story of the other
girls folly will sink deep in her heart.
She will wisely say him nay when he
would take ''the kiss too long and the
after sad sight" The unprotected girl
cannot be too careful of the acquaint-
ance she makes and how far one is to
be trusted. No matter how suave, po-
lite and apparently interested in her
he may appear to be, the girl who is
away from every member of her fam
lily, unprotected, among strangers, can
not be too circumspect in her beha-
vior when she meets gay young man
who does not suggest introducing her
to his mother and sisters.

UNPROTECTED GIRLS.

Never again its native Wilderness gain'd
No matter how much q girl may be

who can tell what dangers beSet her
when she is away from its watchful
care? Almost every mother will tell
you: my girl is sensible, if l do say
SOL have no fear but that she can
take care of herself! !"
1t is a great comfort to have such
blind confidence, but they do not
reckon what the temptations OF youth
I'm these days may be and that the
surroundings and companions of their
girls may be entirely different from
their own when they were young.
The farmers daughter and the shy
village maiden, brought up in remote
and lonely places, who marry young
and move to the city when their girls
ARE of that susceptible age, do not I'M
derstand what the temptations of a
great city really mean. They look upon
every young man as right minded and
certainly looking for a wife. They
are very apt to Undue their daughters
with this sentiment. Because of this
Innocence and faith, many girl has

unprincipled class of young men who

A few simple rules observed before
and after birth will eliminate danger
either to the COW or her offspring, ac-
cording to DR.. f. S. Schoenleber, pro-
fessor of veterinary medicine in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
'"The feeding of some concentrates
cottOnseed meal, linseed meal, or bran
"a few weeks before the cow is due to
freshen is helpful both to the mother
and her offspring. Dry feeding prob
ably has clogged the eliminative or
gans-the bowels, the skin, and the
kidneys. To a great extent these con-
centrated feeds will correct this con-
dition. Cottonseed meal should not
be given to those COWS that are excep-
tiOnally heavy mixers because it in
creases the flow of milk and might
cause milk fever. 1t is good plan to
give to heavy mixers a medium to

winds have the effect of driving the
blood of the animal from the surface
to the internal organs, which frequent
ly results in diseases of various kinds.
The COW should be isolated a few
days before the calf is expected. This
will prevent any possible injury or
worry either to her or to her offspring.
She should also be kept out of reach
Of hogs. At this period cows become
cross and they should be handled
carefully in order to prevent danger
to strangers or owners.
If a cow does not clean properly
within 10 to II hours, artificial means
should be taken Immediately because
the prolongatiOn of this condition is
likely to injure the delicate organs
and impair her as a breeding animal.
If the membrane does not come with
the calf or soon afterwards, the COW
should be given at least one pound of
epson salts dissolved in lukewarm
water. This is for a COW weighing 900
pounds. The dose must be increased
according to the weight of the COW
above 900 pounds.
Immediately after parturition a COW
does not need heavy feeding. At this
period she is feverish and her appetite
is poor. She will, however, eat food
when put before her despite the fact
that her digestive system has no use
for it. This feeding will help to Gre
ate more fever. Plenty of cool water
should be given her, and after 10 to
Is hours feeding is in order. Feed
should be gradually increased as the
COW gains in strength.
Calves should be protected from the
weather and insanitary surroundings.
The COW should be MIXED four to ten
hours after calving. This will allow
the calf plenty of the first milk. Sub
sequently the COW should be MIXED
regularly. When her feverish condi-
ton has left her after the third day,
the milk is fit for human consumption.
Grass is the natural food for the
cow. She does better on it than on
any other feed. Whenever grass is
not available ensilage should supple
ment it. A cow will respond readily,
both in milk and in health, when she
is fed on a variety of feeds.

INSECT PESTS PASS
WINTER IN RUBBISH
Certain Methods of Control Can
Be Practiced Which Will
Greatly Lessen Trouble.

During the winter very few persons
give a thought to the various insect
pests which threaten their crops IN
the summer, and yet at this time GER
tain methods of control can be prac-
ticed which will greatly lessen the
trouble the following year.
The strawberry-leaf roller curls up
the edges of a leaf and its winter home
is complete. If numerous, it will pay
to NOW the beds after the crop is OH
and rake and burn.
The red-necked cane borer Oh rasp-
berries and blackberries, whose work
results in a gall or swelling, passes
the winter as a larva. Infested canes
should be cut off below the swellings
and burned.
In grass lands below the frost line
are the larvae of rose chafers or rose
bugs. These come up near the sur
face in the spring and transform to
pupae.
Plum curculios, which, by the way,
are hard to find during cold weather,
select grass, leaves and trash in or
near the orchard. Pear psyllas select
crevices in the bark, and the pear
leaf blister mite goes under the bud
scales.

steel beads, and prices ascend as the

There are less expensive bags made
of taffeta or faille silk and decorated
with narrow plaitings of the silk.
These are usually in colors and
changeable effects. But the handsom-

Oregon Agricultural college has found
pepsin to be a substitute for rennet.
Cheese made last May with pepsin has
thus far been so successful that judges
have not been able to distinguish it
from the rennet curd.,
Pepsin is ferment made from the
lining of the fresh stomach of pig,
sheep, or calf. 1t is dried, and put
up for use either as white powder
or in the form of yellowish scales.
The scale pepsin is the kind used in
cheesemaking. Four ounces of five
per cent solution of pepsin in water
are used for each 1000 pounds Of
milk. The water must not be over 1O5
degrees Fahrenheit, and the solution
must be made up few hours before it
is used.
While pepsin is not represented as
a serious rival to rennet for cheese
making, it may take the place of it
should necessity demand substitute.
