He recently returned from hunt

said he had bagged.
1t is to be recalled that he won a
running match last summer. This was
when he Inadvertently stepped upon
the stomach Of gentleman who had
buried himself In the sand for sun
bath, and the man pursued him with
evident intention to violate the law
against creating disturbance.
His friends, to whom he exhibited
the rabbit with some pride, comment

CARE OF MILK BEFORE COOL
Bad odors and Poor Flavor Of Butter
Traced to Improper Handling
Keep Vessels Clean.

If the facts were known doubtless
1t would be found that most of the
contamination that causes bad Odors in
milk and poor flavor in butter could be
traced to the handling of the milk be-
fore it was cooled. Warm milk is food
for bacteria and so long as the milk
is exposed and warm 1t will likely be
contaminated.
As soon as the milk Is drawn from
the cow it should be cooled. Even
while the milking is being done the
can should be covered and the milk
pail SO that as little of the milk is ex-
posed as possible.
Much will always depend upon the
temperature of the milk. When the
temperature is lowered danger of
growth of these bacteria is reduced.
Where ice is available the milk may
be quickly cooled, but where there
is no ice more difficulty may be ex-
pected.
OF course the vessels must be kept
clean and the milk put where it will
not absorb bad Odors. But it must
be cooled before it can be expected
to be anything like free from contain
mating bacteria.

It is a debatable question with
SQUAD breeders today whether birds
should be kept in small or large flocks.
While one will advocate keeping not
over so pairs in loft, another will ad-
vocate keeping 25, and third-will
claim that there is no harm in keeping
200 pairs together. Observations have
led to the belief that 40 pairs can be
kept together quite successfully. These
should have about 80 square feet of
floor space and the lofts should be at
least six feet high.
There should also be a fly from six
to eight feet high, the width of the

In calculating the amount of wire

sumo that ordinary barb wire weighs
one pound per rod. This is approxi-

in estimating the number of spools.
Barbed wire is placed upon the mar

nary spools so rods long. Catch-weight
spools weigh from So to 125 pounds,
the average being about 95 pounds.
These are net weights and are marked
on the spool. Eighty rod spools are
guaranteed to contain so rods of wire.

Fremont Lounsbury saw emerging

no wings, neck or head. Otherwise 1t
was all chicken should be.
Lounsbury explains the birth of the
chicken and half In most convinc-
ing manner. He says that some time
ago one Of his hens was run over by
a motorcycle with n side car attached.
He did not think much of the accident
ut the time. but now recalls that the
unfortunate hen was the one that laid
the egg that produced the chicken and
half. Therefore Lounsbury asserts
that chickens also are subject to pre-

Squads should be graded according
to size and quality, as dark -colored

length. Some breeders make the fly
high enough SO that 1t will extend over
part of the roof Of the pigeon house,
in order that the birds may sit in the
sun. This is not only injurious to the
roof. but encourages the birds to lazy
habits. whereas to get successful re-
suits in breeding they must be kept
working, or at least not encouraged to
idleness.
The estimated cost of feeding pair
of pigeons varies from 81 to S1.5O Il
