Once upon a time given were

was about it. Our present surnames
arose from nicknames. Thus Tom the
Tailor became in time Tom Taylor and
his descendants used Taylor as the
family name. The most familiar of
our surnames were taken from the &C.
equations Of our forefathers, as
Smiths, Bakers, Brewers. etc. Many
men, moving TO new towns. had the
name of the place from which they had
on fastened upon them. Others took
names like Pope. King and Bishop.

SCREENINGS MAKE GOOD FEED
Sheep Gain From Twelve to Fifteen
Pounds During First Thirty Days,
Says Ontario Station.

The Ontario experiment station has
found that screenings r used in
large quantities for the winter feeding
of sheep, the sheep being taken from
the range and fed for about 30 days.
At first they are given only hay, then
a small quantity (one-half pound a
day. Of light, chaffy screenings is add
ed. Gradually the quantity of screen.
ings is increased until in about q
week or ten days. the sheep have &C.
cess to the self feeders" from which
they eat all the screenings they care
for (about two pounds a day.. At the
same time the proportion Of chaff in
the screenings Is decreased and the
proportion Of grain increased. Grad.
ually the screenings are replaced with
corn.
On the screenings the sheep usually
gain from IL to 15 pounds during the
first 80 days, after that less rapidly.
It Is stated that $4,000 sheep will eat
about two a r of screenings and q
al Of corn per day. Seed-house
screenings and screenings containing
q large proportion of broken fax are
avoided. Another use that Is made of
elevator screenings IL in the manufac-
ture Of mixed feeds, chiefly molasses
feeds.

SUSAN MAKES FIRST PRAYER

Old Susan was greatly troubled. Miss
Mary, her young mistress. was Ill and
suffering terribly. AS Susan expressed

but mo- particler in de feet" Seeking
comfort and consolation, Susan had
taken herself to prayer meeting. Dur
ing the entire service the old wOman's
thoughts and prayers were for the sick
mistress.
In an endeavor to put life and spirit
into the meeting. the preacher called
upon 5rst II and then another of his
congregation to testify or to pray
aloud. For the first time In Susan's
life, she heard her own name called to
speak in meetin'." Embarrassed, she
tried to hide from the preachers sight.

Thus cornered. Susan rose slowly to

(By ". f. EDMONDsON. Colorado Agri-
cultural College. Fort Collins. Colo)
It Is a proved fact that machinery,

very rapidly. In fact, rust does more
damage to the exposed machinery
than the work which the implement
Is called upon to do.
This Is a needless waste, however,
because rust can practically be over.

machine, when not in use
Farmers could get more than twice
as much wear out OF most implements.
II they were housed properly. This
alone will not suffice in some climates.
A very good way to keep the rust
from attacking iron parts exposed to
moisture is to coat all tho iron with
a very cheap oil. This oil should be
thick and heavy. so that when applied
to the iron, 1t will not run of.
This coating OF oil will keep all of
the moisture away from the iron and
therefore, will prevent rust FROM start.

With Brush or Finger.

Printed pictures from magazines,

ton:
One bar of common soap is dissolved
in a gallon OF hot water, to which one
half pint OF turpentine is added. After

then rubbed and the design is trans

A picture may be transferred to
glass for the purpose OF a lantern

be vanished with a perfectly trans

then proceed as before. Pictures are
transferred 10 china in the same way.

usual growth of white clover in
Kentucky pastures during the spring
Of 1918. Trouble with bloating or

lures is quite common, especially dur
ing the period when they are bloom

there is a considerable quantity Of
sugar in the blossoms of various leg
umes, the amount varying from less
than 1 per cent to SO. and that there
is a natural fermentation of this sugar
to carbon dioXide gas. under the condi.
tions which exist in the digestive
tract.
After finding that bloating is caused
by fermentation of the sugar, in le-
gumes that are eaten, Doctor Kastle Of
that station suggested the use of for
maldehyde as a means Of relieving the
ailment. Lads Oona bloated badly on
white clover June 10, 1913. She was

Formalin Is a trade name for a 40

almost any drug store for about 40

the right solution with which to
drench an animal for bloat.

Southern Slopes Preferred to Oh.
tain the Necessary Amount

The egg plant thrives best in damp.
rich. moist, sandy loans. 1t needs o
large amount Of heat and sunshine, so
that southern slopes are preferable.
The plants should be planted early
in a warm greenhouse and given am.

Oats should be sown as early in the
spring as it is possible to make a
good seeded. The exact date of
course varies with the season and
with the locality. This does not
mean that the preparation OF the land
should be neglected in order to SOW
early. Better yields will be produced
from seed sown in a good seeded
than from that sown q few days ear.
lier in ground too cold and wet for the
seed to terminate.
In a good seedbed the best rate of
seeding in the corn belt is about two
and one.half bushels to the acre. II
the seed is sown broadcast, more is
necessary. More seed is required in
a poor seeded than a good one, as
fewer seeds r likely to grow. A
lower rate Of seeding may be used
for small-kerneled varieties than for
large-kerneled ones, for there are
many more OF the former in a bushel.
