Some of the attorneys of Keolruk

ty-eight hours. and many people be-

arrived the assembled crowd cried

FANTASTIC GOLDFISH.
Some Curious Shapes Produced by The
Experts of Japan.

Experts OF JdPdU
Japanese fish breeders took advan
tage of one of natures FRANKS to OBTAIN
this much decorated goldfish Years
ago a Jap found in his aquarium fish
with two tails. He was so well pleased
with the novelty that be undertook to
make it the basis of u new type. Thus
the one accident by nature became the
grandfather of race of two tailed fish.
We call them japanese fantails.
Not satisfied with the double tail. the
breeders next set about m0lding the
bodies of their fish into round balls.
Breeders first picked out the fish with
the shortest bodies and bred them ev-
cry year by painstaking selection. Fish
with shorter and shorter bodies were
produced until today the accepted type
of japanese fantail has a body as
round as a ball.
Not all fantails are alike. One with
the ends of the tail cut off fat is called
the square tail Another with a slight
inward curve to the edges of the tail is
called veil tail. A third. with deep
cut out tail. is named the ribbon tail.
All these varieties have long tails and
fins. You will recognize them instant
ly when you see them in an aquarium
floating about like bits of lace in the
water.-Philadelph North American.

Initials On Dimes Likely To Put
Stop To Coinage.

The monogram "a. w" on the
new dimes coined by the Philadel-
phia mint and put into circulation
may result in temporary suspen-
sion of their coinage. In all $780,
600 of the new coins have been mint
ed, and the banks were rushed to
supply them to collectors.
The monogram contains the initi-
ais of the artist, Albert Weinman, of
New York, who designed the coin.
When the Lincoln cent piece was
first coined it bore the initial of the
artist, and the treasury department
ordered it taken off, on the ruling
that no advertisement shall appear
on any coin.

Very often the collar of coat begins
to look shabby when the coat is in
good order. and it is wonderful what a
difference a thorough cleaning will
make. First take piece of clean cloth
and dip it in spirits of turpentine and
rub the collar thoroughly with it, Leave
it for ten minutes. then rub it again
with the turpentine and scrape it care
fully to remove any loose dirt. Next
sponge the collar with little alcohol
and keep wiping it until it is dry Hang
it up in an airy place for an hour or
two and it win look as good as new :

An Opportunity For A Higher
Education.

College Park, Nov. 23.-Attending
the high schools, academies and prep
aratory schools In Maryland are many
young men whose ambitions urge them
forward to college, where they would
receive an advanced training to bet
ter fit them to make success in their
chosen vocations.
These young men fully recognize the
advantage of higher education-they
know that those who are best prepared
will win out in the battle of life. "
They realize the force of the argument,
backed by facts, that the earning ca
pacity of the college graduate exceeds
by far that of the high school and
3 ded school graduate. They are con-
VI iced that the time and money spent
In securing advanced training Is the
best investment to be made at the
present period of their lives. They
appreciate the handicap that an I'M
trained man endures in the competi-
ton for positions in all walks of life.
More evident is this in progressive
farming than in any other profession.
Some Of these young men are for
tunately situated regarding the ways
and means to finance four years at COL
lege. There are many others, however,
without this advantage, and they must
secure other means of getting at least
q part of the funds to support them
in obtaining a collegiate education.
Especially to these is the following
opportunity valuable: Eighty-five
young men Of Maryland each year have
the chance to obtain 20 per cent. of
the total fixed expenses necessary to
attend the Maryland State College.
The fixed expenses include room with
heat and light), board, laundry, books
and medical attention and amount to
$4,000.
To encourage worthy young men
who desire collegiate education the
Board Of Trustees of the Maryland
State College awards to each of the
high schools, academies and prepare
tory schools Of Maryland whose gradu-
ates are eligible for entrance into the
Freshman Glass, one scholarship each
year with valuation of $4,000. This
scholarship continues for four years

IN THE WINTER.
Allow Cream TO Ripen Before
Churning.
KEEP CREAM AT 70 DEGREES

College Park, Nov. 23.-Churning
should be completed in about 30 min
utes. Timely suggestions relative to
{ making butter have been written by
G. e. Wolcott, Dairy Extension, Mary
land State College. Mr. Wolcott says:
During the winter season farm wives
often experience great deal Of diff
fculty in churning Frequently the
cream is churned for several hours be-
fore the butter gathers. The churn-
ing can be completed in about 80 min
utes if the proper precautions are OBJ
served in caring for the cream be-
fore it is placed in the churn. Diff
Guilty in churning during the winter
months is generally due to the low
temperature of the cream before and
at the time 1t is placed in the churn.
In order to make churning easy and
at the same time produce desirable
favor in the butter, the cream should
be allowed to ripen or sour. II held
at temperature Of 10 degrees for
several hours and frequently stirred,
clean acid flavor will develop, and
lie viscosity of the cream will be de-
creased. BY decreasing the viscosity,
the churning will be more complete
and will require less time and en-
ergy.
Before placing the cream in the
churn the temperature should be re-
duced about so degrees. If most of
the cows in the herd are well along
in their period Of lactation, it may
be necessary to churn at higher tenn
perature- in order to bring about a
complete churning within a reasonable
time. The greater the agitation, the
more quickly will the churning be
finished. This can be brought about
when the churn is not more than half
full
When the churning is completed,
the fat globules viii gather in gran
ules about the size of a kernel Of corn,
and the butter will stand well out of
the buttermilk.
AFTER drawing Oh the DuLIeTuIlh,
wash the butter in water at the same
temperature as that of the butter
milk. The amount of wash water
should be equal to the amount of but
termilk removed from the churn.
After washing add one ounce of
salt for each pound of butter. The
amount of salt to add will vary with
the taste of the consumer. The salt
can be distributed and buttermilk re-
moved by careful working.

WINTER RAT|OkS
FOR DAIRY COWS
Suggestions Offered For Making
Up Economical Feed Mixtures.
LEGUME HAYsARE IMPORTANT
Dairymen Are Urged To Consult Their
County Demonstration Agents
In Selecting Available
Feeds.

College Park, Md, October 26.-ln
response to many Inquiries received
from dairymen regarding rations for
their COWS, G. E. Wolcott, of the Ex-
tension Service, has prepared series
of rations to suit different conditions.
Dairymen are urged to consult their
County Demonstration Agents in plan
ming rations for their COWS. Mr.. VOL
colt says, THE season for winter
feeding is at hand. In order to pro-
1uce milk at the lowest possible feed
cost, the dairyman should exercise a
great deal of care in the selection of
his feeds. The crops grown on the
farm should be supplemented with
feeds that will make balanced ra-
ton, which will be bulky, palatable
and have good physiological effect
on the system. The farmer who has
a supply of good legune hay is for
tunate, since it will not be necessary
for him to purchase large amounts of
high protein feeds.
The grain mixtures are given in
three groups according to the percent
age of protein they contain:

with low protein roughages, such as
corn silage, corn slower, timothy hay
and millet hay.
