Electric Fowl Picker.

A machine invented by o. G. Rieske
of Buffalo picks an ordinary fowl
naked in less than five minutes, says
Electrical Experimenter. Moreover, no
feathers are scattered. A small cleo
trio motor turns a suction fan, and
also a roller contained within the In
strument itself, the power being trans.
mitted by means Of flexible cable.
The roller Is hollow and It's outer sur
face is pierced by a number Of Sits
which permit the incoming blast pro
duced by the fan to pass freely
through it. ..-
The top of the instrument 10 hooded,
and attached to this hood is a little
rubber roller which rests firmly against
the surface Of the large drumlika
wheel. The feathers Of the fowl,
sucked up against the two rollers, are
plucked by having to squeeze between
the rollers, after which they are blown
to tank.
A thumb contact permits the hood
to be moved around in it's axis. and
thus the relative. positions Of the two
rollers are adjusted according to the
needs Of each case. The smallest wild
fowl or the biggest turkey may be
plucked with equal ease. A fowl can
readily be picked in the dry state, but
ordinarily it is Scalded.

PIGS PLACE IN MYTHOLOGY
Black Swine Considered Evil Because
1t Was Identified With the
Black Clouds.

If we add an Irish "bull" to the
story Of the Roscommon pig, the vision
Of the small girl Beirne might be de-
scribed as an echo of certain events
that occurred more than sixty centu-
ries ago, when mankind was laying the
foundations of civilization and it's be-
liefs for all time. 1t carries our minds
back to the mythical SOW that Is re-
puted to have sucked King MinOs Of
Crete and the infant god Zeuz-Diony-
sius; to the sacrificial pigs which the
initiates into the Eleusinian mysteries
washed in the waters of the Aegean /;
to the evil swine that determined the
fate of Osiris, AdOnis, Tammuz and
Diarmid; and to a still earlier phase
in the groupings after light and con-
ISOLATION when the sow was Identified
with the Great Mother, the creator Of
all, who, in her capacity as the moon
and the sky, regulated the universe
and controlled the destinies Of man
kind. Hence the pig was fate, and
the black pig was evil because it was
identified with the black clouds which
obscured the light, at first In the purely
literal and physical sense, but after
ward in the ethical and moral accep-
tation of the phrase. -- Manchester

FASTENED JOB FOR MINISTER
Youth Couldn't See Any Four Years
Counting if He Had to Visit
Girl on Horseback.

Cupid's wings were Slightly scorched
when the request went forth to leave
our automobiles in our garages on Sum-
day and thus aid in saving fuel says
the Indianapolis News. But youth in
Sullivan cOunty-Quite loyal to his
country and his sweetheart, too-re-
membered the days of his father and
acted accordingly. When o'clock came
he went to the family barn, ignored
the presence of his new roadster, took
down his fathers ancient saddle, put
it on one of the pillow horses and gal
lantly rode forth.
But not far did he ride. Either the
horse unaccustOmed to a rider or the
youth to riding did something which
irritated the other, for soon the youth
was prone in the road and the horse
was gallOping toward home.
After while the young man got up
from his PROSTATE position. DaZedly he
looked around him. Then he talked to
himself: 'My father" he said, assert
ed that that saddle took him to court
mother weekly for more than four
years. Well, for myself, I'll say there
was something radically wrong with
father. If had to ride on that saddle
four years to see Nellie-well, never
mind, I'll propose tonight"
He did and Cupid chalked up one
against Mr.. Garfield.

TOO MUCH LIKE KAISER BILL
EX.Sherlff of New York Town Has
Made 1t Plain That "Potsdam
Points" Don't Go.

Ex-Sheriff James Merritt, whose
mustache grows as a sheriff's mustache
should, has established a mustache
censorship and outlawed the POtsdam
points, according to Port Chester cor
respondent of the New York Tribune.
Until few days ago scarcely an
hour went by that the argus-eyed for
mer sheriff patrolling the streets did
not find at least one sky-pointing mus-
tache of the kind made notorious by
Wild Bill Hohenzollern. The tactics
of the former sheriff upon spottins
such one were as tactful and as I'm.
varying as those Of collecting agency.
Placing himself in front Of the wear
er, he would fix pale and unappreci.
alive eye upon the offending mustache
and stare and stare. Either the staree
wilted or became curious or belliger-
ent. Former Sheriff Merritt was ready
for either result.
At the first evidence of embarrass-
ment he would nod mutely toward the
nearest barber shop, follow his victim
until he entered and remained on post
outside until he emerged without his
mustache. If the mustached one in
quired civilly what was wrong, the
former sheriff would start as If awak.
ened from daze and explain that he
thought he was confronting his old
friend, ''Pewter Cup Bill" the yachts
man. If the recipient of his stare
wanted to know what was biting the
former sheriff, Merritt went just as far
with the inquisitive one as was nsces-
sary to persuade him into neat coat
Of lather.

A good deal is heard about the tenn
porary nature Of fruit trees, and It has
been a large factor In preventing
planting in this region, says an Ellens-
burg, Ore, dispatch. There seems to be
an impression that In dozen years or
so apple and pearI frees are down ana

To those who hold such an idea q
visit to the orchard Of John Catlin, on

FALSE ISSUES AND
FALSE CLAIMS
(By G. M. Willard.)
In Southwestern Stockman


The little old straw-man
known as the l. w. w. is get
ting pretty badly frayed out
and is showing all the signs OF
overwork and { premature de-

free of charge.
Let us see: According to the

there were thousands of good
