Blow to Tourists.

The state supreme court has ruleo
that fruits and nuts from roadside
trees belong to the owner of the abut-
ting property. This matter has for
years been held in doubt, but now that
the court of last resort has spoken
it is well for vandals who step from
passing autos to swipe fruit to know
that they are guilty of theft, says the
Los Angeles Times.
Under the law one owns all on or
under or above his land from the deep
est depths delved to as far as he can
reach up in the ethereal blue. If
roots from his trees or plants reach
into your land they are yours cut
them off. If fruit or flowers. or foliage
sticks through or over the fence or
line they are as much yours as If the
trees grew.on your sOilzpick them.

"Uncle Cyrus is coming" announced
Robert Sloan, home from the Office for
the day.
ooh, dear!" murmured his helpmeet,
dismaIly enough.
"That does not betoken a very
CHEEKY welcome" suggested her hus-
band. "There is worse to come, from
your apparent point Of view"
"And that isl" questioned Mrs.
Sloan anxiously.
"Uncle Cyrus is coming to live with
us permanently"
"Oh, Robert" Myra Sloan collapsed
quite. There was a humorous twinkle
in her husbands eye as he remarked:
"You do not seem to covet the COM
pany Of your nearest relative In the
wOrldT
"0h, Robert, 1t is for your sake"
Myra hastened to say, "and that Of

right to saddle you with new re-
sponslbIlity. Again, Lucy is engaged
and we must bend all our energies to
starting her out in life respectfully,
and Nelson must go to college. Uncle
Cyrus would jar on them, and on you,
too. He is full of whims. irrational,

There is a request from hospitals for
scrapbooks made to interest the con-
valeseent soldiers when time hangs
heavy on hands forced to be idle. Ger
tainly here Is a simple and easy task
waiting for those who are anxious to
serve the needs Of our soldiers in
some way, but with little time or mon
ey to spare. And convalescents in the
hospital are not the only ones who
will find the scrapbook something to
enjoy and pass along. So, if you are
casting about for something to send
to the Sammies for Christmas, con-
slider the many virtues of clever
scrapbook.
These books are to be filled with pic
lures, cartoons, very short stories, good
and new jokes Especially those orlgi-
mating In the army. These can be cut
from magazines or papers or gathered
elsewhere. Old files of magazines
might prove good field for explora-
ton in filling them. Kodak pictures,

were no pockets, but pockets are very
practical on winter coats and they
have been added without marring this
design.
Buttons are used for fastening the
coat; three large ones, covered with
cloth like the coat, are placed at the
trent, one above and two below the
girdle. Three smaller ones manage the
collar and the front of the body. The
bands of fur fabric need not be- like
the coat in color; those In black look
well on almost any of the fashionable
colors in wool, but the best effects are
not in strong color contrasts. Dark
brown with brown landings, taupe
with taupe landings, wine or dark
amethyst with black landings are
good combinations for coats. All the
neutral or "gloye" colors are to be rec
commended.

CALVES ON SEPARATOR MILK
Poor Practice to Pour Liquid Into DIR
ty Trough and Let Animals
Drink Their Fill.

If we are ready to admit that
cows milk is too good for a cows
calf and that it is economically profit
able to rob the future COW for the
sake Of present gains, then it Is quite
necessary to know how to raise calves
on separator milk or other artificial
and unnatural foods, says a writer.
The usual practice is to pour sepa-
rator milk, sometimes cold, into a
large trough which is never cleaned,
and allow the calves to drink until
they are satisfied. This method means
potbellied, runty calves, that never
make the growth they should, even
though they fortunately escape the
ravages Of indigestion.

That settled 1t, and at heart Myra
was glad. Two evenings later Uncle
Cyrus arrived with an. old hide-bound
trunk and ragged, time-worn carpet
bag.
This is the first comfortable and
home-like spot I've struck for five
years." he stated complacently, as,
after an appetizing meal which he
fully enjoyed, he was shown up to
the cozily furnished room apportioned
him. "Now, then, nephew and niece,
I'm tired of being palavered and petted
by brood of harpies, who tolerate
me hoping to get me to leave them

"We cannot accept any such

Uncle Cyrus intercepted him with:
You'll accept It, or l don't stay.
You've got a daughter to- marry off

oUIETNEss OF GREAT VALUE
Something That Should Be Insisted
Upon and RigidIy Enforced Among
the Dairy Herds.

The value of Quietness among the
dairy herds is something that should
be insisted upon and rigidly enforced.
The intruding hunter is fast being
kept out by signs to that effect; but
even then one or two sometimes

usually hates a dog, and her hate is
even increased when the dog is noisy

cow RELIsHES ROUGH FEEDS
Animal Possessed Of Large, Roomy Di-
cestive Tract That Is Built for
Handling Bulky Feed.

Unlike the hog, the cow has large
roomy digestive tract that is built for
the handling of rough feeds. The COW
digests her feed to best advantage
when her ration is bulky, as the bulky
parts of the feed keep the small par
ticles of grain apart and thus allow
them to be thoroughly acted on by the
digestive juices. The hay and silage
should not constitute all the bulk of
the ration, as part Of it can proftably
be supplied by such feeds as corn and
cob meal, ground oats, wheat bran and
distillers' dried grains, Iowa Circular
