SNAIL IS WELL PROTECTED
ger and Tightly Closes the
Only Opening.

Snails are most interesting crea-
lures and are easily observed, p
cially If one has an aquarium. The
dig japanese water snail, crawling up
the side of the glass, shows all its
parts, and they are virtually the same
n all species. An article in the Chill
dren's Museum News describes it as
follows:
above the fiat, gray foot is a snout
at the end of which we sec a mouth
opening and closing deliberately like
a winking eye, except that it opens
laterally instead of up and down. A
rlbbonlike tongue darts in and out to
rasp away particles of plant by means
Of the tiny, horny points all yer it.
The eyes are on the little bumps which
you see at the base of the horns or
t%entacles, one on each side of the snout.
The tubelike opening on one side
above the foot forms a passageway for
the water to enter the gills through
which this snail breathes.
"The foot and head of the snail are
the only parts of the body we can see,
for the rest of it is wound about
spirally within the coils of the shell.
Now if we tap on the glass OF the
aquarium the snail suddenly drops to
the bottom of the tank, pulling in its
t~entacles, it's mouth, and finally its
foot, and tightly closes the opening to
It's shell by means of a round lid OF
operculum, of the same substance as
the shell and fastened to the back OF
the foot. The fish will bite at thai
closely shut box in vain if they ex
pect to make a meal of the soft body
within"

A hurried examination is likely to
prove a disappointment. Observe
blemishes, vice, faulty conformation,
unsoundness and general Characters
tics. Common blemishes are scars
from old wounds, poll evil, scratches,
shoe boils and small r%uptures. Com
NOR vices are halter pulling, cribbing,
kicking, stall walking, weaving, and
biting. Common faults of conforma-
ton are straight shoulders, crooked,
weak or improperly set legs, eve
neck, long, weak back and dropping
Group.
Common unsoundness are splints,
t~horoughpin, SPAWN, curb, extreme
fstula, ringbone, side bones. extreme
atrophy of muscles, contracted ten
dons and broken wind. General char
acteristics include ~fieshing, tempera-
ment, quality, color, and age. In final
selection, look for the good qualities
and weigh them against the defects.
Enlargements or scars (due to de-
formity, unusual mishap, or uncom-
mon disease) not conforming to any
of those discussed should cause a
horse to be rejected unless the nature
of the cause and the detriment to the
value and usefulness of the animal is
self-evident. Experience gained by
examining large numbers of horses
will aid in quickening the eye and
judgment, thereby making it possible
to perceive readily any unusual condi-
ton, but it should be remembered that
a hurried examination is liable to
prove q disappointment, consequently
plenty of time should be taken in
making the examination, because time
is much cheaper than money tied up
in an unsatisfactory horse. If pos
sible, get a history of the animal, and
while you are about it, get q history
of the person having it for sale. Sc
many defects may be covered up by
such unfair methods as drugging that
it is a good plan to make purchase;
only from those with good reputa
tons. Horses offered at auction sales
should be thoroughly examined pre-
vious to their being brought into thu
ring, or else they should be tried on
in compliance with the rules of thu
sale before time for settlement.
1t is well not to form the habit o.
seeing only the defects, for horses, LIKE
people, are seldom perfect, conse
quently In judging them weigh thu
good qualities against the bad. !
horse should be valued by the amour
of service he will perform rather thar
by his minor shortcomings.

Language OF Flags.

There is no international language
of flags established by law but by COM
mon consent flags of a certain color
are used for certain purposes. All over
the world a yellow flag is a signal of
contagious disease. A ship hOists it
to denote that there are some on board
suffering from such disease and it re-
mains hoisted until she has received
quarantine. The white flag is univer-
sally used as a flag of truce. The
black flag was formerly the symbol of
piracy and now In some countries it is
flown after an execution Is performed
to indicate that the requirements of
the law have been carried out. Other
features of flag language are that a
flag flying at half mast is a universal
sign of mourning, and when a ship has
to make a sign of distress she does 1t
by raising the national ensign reversed,
or upside down. Even this can be en-
phasized by knotting the flag in the
middle to indicate great distress and
Imminent danger.

BEST WAY TO OBTAIN MONEY
Inheriting 1t Has Many Advantages
Over Getting II by Marriage, Elk
p~erience Has Shown.

Perhaps the best way to get money
Is to inherit it. This usually requires
no brains, skill, trouble or special apti-
tude on the part of the recipient.
Neither does it involve any obligations
of an embarrassing nature. In this
respect it has a distinct advantage
over getting money by marriage.
Getting money by marriage is, of
course, tremendously popular and most
authorities unhesitatingly recommend
1t as the best method next to inherit
ing, but the fact remains that 1t In
wolves many pitfalls. The wife or
husband who brings the money to you
may turn out to be considerable of a
nuisance and therefore decidedly an
noying to have hanging around.
This c%onfronts one with the very diff
icult task Of getting rid of the said
husband or wife without at the same
time getting rid of the said all-impor-
tant money. The invention of ali
mony has served to obviate this diff
Guilty somewhat so far as the female
sex is concerned.
Another excellent way to get money
is to have a piece of property, which
has been a great burden to you, and
which you have been unable to get rid
of at any price, suddenly turn out to
be immensely valuable because of a
big public improvement in the vicinity
or the movement of business in that
direction. This method, however, re-
quires a certain amount of initial CAPT
tai and perhaps a modicum of judg'
ment.-Life.

CAUSE OF SCOURS IN CALVES
Avoid Irregular Feeding and Dirty
Milk or PalIs-Best to Separate
Affected Animal.

Scours in calves are caused by ir-
regular feeding, overlooking, sudden
change of feed. fermented feeds, feed
ing dirty or sour milk or milk of dis
eased cows, the use of dirty milk pals
or feed boxes, and damp, dirty stables.
AS soon as scours are discovered 1t is
best to separate the affected calf from
the others and carefully disinfect the
pen.

Faults and Blemishes.
(By II. II. REESE.)

Selection of a horse must be based
primarily on a thorough, systematic
examination; the examination should
be based on a clear knowledge of de-
sirable and undesirable qualities. Not
only the presence of unsoundness but
also the condition Or seriousness of
the unsoundness should be noted.
Temporary unftness should be distin-
guished from permanent unsoundness.
