FIND HUM0R IN CENSORSHIP
French Succeed in Getting Certain
Amount of Fun Out of OFF,
cial Proceedings.

France has censorship. But 1t also
has q sense of humor. By means of
this hunor it is able to bear so we'll
with the censorship that it would sut-
fer a sense Of loss if the institution
were suddenly abolished.
The way the French censor works
Is this: He reads the page proofs OF
the newspapers and periodicals ana
notifies the publishers what part OF
their printed matter they cannot cir
culate. The publishers then chisel the
stereotyped plates and the papers come
out blotched with white spaces. Read
ers, seeing these gaps, invariably as
sumo that something Of extreme i'm
portance has been withheld from
them. They besiege their officehold-
ers and politicians for enlightenment
The distressed public servants, know
ing not thing, must yet say some
thing. So they invent news. The re-
suits are comical. Government officers
get entangled in their own stories,
they are held to account for state.
ments they had forgotten they had
made, they are forced to dodge
friends and avoid constituents.
1t speaks for the spirit Of a coun'
try that what might be expected to
set it raving merely makes it slap Its
thigh with enjoyment.

PRINCIPAL CAUSE OF SCOURS
Feeding From Dirty Pals or Giving
Rations unhardened Stomachs
Cannot Properly Digest.

those who raise young calves by
hid know that scours is one of the
attest, if not the greatest, source
loss. DR.. G. C. LiDp, veterinarian
the South Dakota college, says
ding from dirty pals, or feeding
Ions the unhardened stomachs Of
young calves cannot digest, are
the two main causes from which this
trouble may arise.
The milk pals cannot be kept too
clean. Scrupulous care must be OBJ
served if the feed pals are not to be
the source Of scours. Washing after
each feeding with cold water is not
enough; thorough scalding at least
once a day is essential and exposure
to bright sunlight on every clear day
will not come amiss. Bacteria are
little things, but the way they live
and multiply is remarkable, and the
damage they can do when they get
started assumes mighty proportions.
When the feed is hard to digest and
the first evidence of stomach disorders
appear, q dose of physic is the best
cure. A few tablespoonful of castor
oil or an equal amount Of salts will
remove the offending food and restore
the system to working order again.
A 40 per cent solution of formalde-
hyde has also been found to- be an
effective preventive of scours. One
tablespoonful of formalin is diluted in
one pint of water. A spoonful or two
of the solution may then be added to
the calfs milk as many times Il day
and as long as conditions demand.

S. Simons Goes A-Lunching.

Simon Simons, honorary president of
the Economical Sports association,
looked at the clock again, drew in his
belt still another notch, and decided he
really must 60 to lunch.
"T'm really quite hungry" he
thought. "I believe I'll try sort Of
progressive luncheon-it will be quite
a lark. Let's see, I'll start at Oopen-
heimer's-their 10-cent bowl Of ivy
soup is the biggest in town." And he
walked five blocks to Oopenheimer's,
drank the soup and set out for Swish
endish's, eight blocks away, where, he
knew, the scent sandwiches were
quite as big and as crowded as the
usual 10 centers.
After lingering over a Siamese
cheese sandwich, he walked to Bickel
and Watson streets, to Pogenwoog's,
where he got an ice-cream cone for 3
cents, and by that time he was so
hungry from all the exercise that, in
desperation, he strobe into q restau-
rant where placard read: Full
course dinner, IS cents"
When he got back to the office, two
hours later, he found that Twickenham
B. Woos had dropped in to buy $4,000
worth of stock in the B. V. D. sand
paper mine, and dropped out again.

HoGGING DOWN CORN FIELDS
Practice Promises to Be More Popular
Than Ever This Fall Because OF
Labor Shortage.

Because Of the help shortage the
practice of hogging down corn prom
Uses to be more popular than ever this
fall. To some extent, however, the
amount of corn hogged down will be
limited by the feed shortage, many
farmers desiring to utilize the stalks
who would ordinarily permit them to
rot down in the field. At any rate the
scarcity of feeds makes it imperative
for every farmer to make the best use
possible of his crops this year. Not

should 60 to waste when it can be
saved
Hogging down corn is often accolI .
panied by considerable waste, particu-
llarly when too large an acreage is al
lowed q drove Of hogs. Though the
amount of grain wasted is generally
more than balanced by the saving in
1.-THE labor of husking, special care
should be taken to make the wastage
as small as possible. An effective way
Ito do this is to fence off the field to
jbe hogged down into lots small enough
that they will be thoroughly cleaned up
lin limited time, and by not changing
the hogs to a new area until the pre-
ivious one is exhausted.

Use of Camera in Training
Marksmen Saves Ammunition

A saving of ammunition in the train
ing of q marksman has been made
possible by a remarkable apparatus
recently patented by an English in
ventor.
The invention can be easily attached
to a rifle, and consists Of a small cylin-
drical camera which fastens to the
under side of the barrel, and is fitted
with a telescope focusing device, so
positioned that it's line of focus is par
allel to the gun barrel. Immediately
in front of the trigger Of the weapon
second trigger is placed, which is con-
nected with the .camera-shutter by a
wire.
When q marksman has aimed his
gun and pulls the trigger, the camera
trigger is operated just an instant be-
fore the gun trigger, and consequently
a snapshot is secured of the target
that the gun was pointed at. The po-
sition of the target as it appears on
the developed plate or film will indi-
cate the accuracy of the shot. If the
bullseye is exactly in the center it
shows that the gun was correctly
aimed.

CONSERVING Wheat Flour.

A prominent New York hotel has
recently added to its menu a bread
containing rye flour and whole wheat
flour in addition to white flour. Anoth-
er method Of saving wheat flour which
is being we'll received, is to use one
part of cottonseed meal to four, five
or six parts Of wheat flour. A United
States senator not long ago served
bread made from these ingredients to
several of his colleagues in Washington,
and they seemed much pleased with
it. Government chemists have demon
strated that flour can also be made
from peanuts, dried peas, sweet pota-
toes, etc., and that such flour can be
mixed with wheat flour to make excel
lent bread.-Popular Mechanics Mag

SPEED OF STEAM SEPARATOR
Farmers Should Be Careful to Follow
Directions Given by Manufacture
ers of Machine.

Some tests conducted by the Indiana
station show that much cream may be
lost by not running the cream separa-
tor the proper number of revolutions.
Farmers should be particular about
following directions of the several
makes Of separators. 1t has been es-
timated that over So per cent Of the
dairymen turn their machines too
slowly. The question Of speed, there
fore, becomes one of much Importance,
and dairymen should look after this
feature of milk and cream handling
with as much carefulness as they do

PARTY FOR LIZARDS.

'There was going to be a party in
the Woodlands" said Daddy. NOW
Woodlands is one of the homes of the
Fairies, and they share it with many
of the wood creatures.
sThe party was to be given for the
little Lizards. The red ones were all
out, and there were the Newt family,
cousins of the Lizards and almost ex-
actly like them. But these little Nevis
dressed a little differently. Their
suits were black on the top and red
underneath, while the other LIZARDS
were all red.
"The Queen Of the Fairies had ar
ranged to have the party on a day
when the rain drops were playing
around the earth, for that is the time
the Lizards love better than any other.
Yesterday was just the day for
them! They loved the rain drops fall
ing ever so gently, and the air was
so soft and warm and moist!
"First of all the Fairy Queen had
races in crawling. She was very care
full not to say running races, for she
knew that would hurt the feelings of
the Lizards. They could only crawl
not run. The Lizards all raced and
: they had fine time wiggling along as
they crawled just as fast as they could

prizes of green moss baskets which
the Lizards thought very fine. AND

home later on.
"Now all the Fairies were at the
party, but old Witty Witch had not ar
rived. The Lizards felt sure that she

RENEW THIN PASTURE SPOTS
Little Seed Scattered Over Weak
Places Every Spring and Then
Narrowed Will Aid Greatly.

There are weak spots in almost all
pasture fields which do we'll when re-
seeded. A little seed scattered every
spring over these thin spots and har-
rowed in with the harrow teeth set at
"a slant Of about 40 degrees, will help
these spots greatly.
A top dressing Of fine stable manure
has stimulating effect on such re-
tarded grasses. 1t is unreasonable to
think that pasture land will produce
profitable pasturage from year to year
without anything to rejuvenate it.
Pasture land needs renewing as well
as other farm land.

The world is changing, and human

$50 Coal.

Probably a record price for coal
was recently paid by the captain of an'
American cargo steamship returning
from Genoa to New York after deliv-
ering a war cargo at the Italian port.
At Genoa the Yankee skipper was COM
PEELED to pay 800 ton for coal enough
to carry him to Fayal, in the Azores.
AT the island port he was able to
purchase coal at the comparatively rea-
sonable rate of $50 ton, and got 500
tons, enough to bring him to New York.
The extremely high price of coal now
adays is somewhat Of an offset to the
big profits to be made in war freights.

PREVENTING HORNS ON CALF
When Animal Is Week or Two Old
Rub Caustic Potash on Little Nubs
Protect From Rain.

North Dakota Experiment Station.)
Horns can be prevented from grow
Ing on a calf by rubbing caustic pot
ash on the little nubs that develop
into horns. A good time to do this
Is when the calf is a week or two old.
Wrap one end of the stick of caustic
in paper to protect the fingers, moisten
the other and rub on the tubs. Be
careful that 1t does not run down the
face and into the eyes. Removing the
hair helps. Make three applications,
allowing it to dry between each appli-
cation. The calf should be protected
from rain to keep the caustic from
spreading.

VEGETABLE STORAGE

Outdoor storage cellars or
caves are excellent for the stor-
age of many late vegetables.
Vegetables can be more conven-
iently placed in such a cellar
than in the storage room in the
basement of a dwelling.
The proper type and construc-
ton of such cellars vary with
the geographical location. In
the southern portion of the coun-
try the structure is usually en-
tirely above the ground and pro-
tected by only few inches Of
SOD and with straw, leaves, etc.
In northern sections, outdoor
cellars are made almost entire
~ below the ground and covered
with sufficient earth supple
mented by straw, manure, etc.,
to prevent freezing.

Liberty.

A wolf was kept prisoner in cage
in a park where many people came to
look at him and be amused.
One day it grew very hot and the
wolf dug down into his sawdust in
search of moist earth wherewithal to
cool himself. But he found nothing
better than the metal bottom of his
cage, whereat the people laughed,
deeming his discontinue good sport.
Presently, however, the war brought
about a shortage Of food and another
day the keeper opened the door of the
cage. "Come out!" he commanded.
"We can't feed you any longer and so
we're going to shoot you"
The wolf was glad. "Now I know
why they call it war of liberation"
he thought to himself.

APPLY MANURE TO PASTURES
II Not Convenient to Haul II Out to
Fields for Crop, Broadcast 1t
Where Needed.

There is always a place for the sta
BILE and lot manure on the farm. The
pastures need it as well as the crops,
and if it is not convenient to haul it
out to the fields for crop, broadcast
lit over the pasture. The pastures, to
be at their best, need fertilizers as
we'll as crops.
Farmers who have but small pas
ture can we'll afford to use liberal ap-
plications of manure on them, and so
make the pastures produce more graz
ing. In this way less grain will be
needed to make the cows give steady
flow Of milk.

LIME NEEDED FOR PASTURES
Best to Make Application Where Land
Cannot Be Readily Plowed-Also
Apply Manure.

In pasture lands that cannot readily
be plowed the best procedure is to
apply lime, if needed, and to encour-
age the grass to grow vigorously by
yearly top dressing of well-rotted barn
ward manure ard occasional light apph-
cations of commercial fertilizer that is
rich in phosphates and nitrogen. In
addition, all thin spots in the SOD
should be reseeded each year with
liberal quantity of good grass seed.
