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 its be-
liefs for all time. 1t carries our minds
back to the mythical SOW that is re.

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 its 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 Is hooded,
and attached to this hood Is a little
rubber roller (which rests firmly against
the surface of the large drumlike
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 q tank.
A thumb contact permits the hood
to be moved around in its 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 1t is scalded.

WAGE WAR ON GRASSHOPPERS
California Authorities DevisIno Ways
and Means to Protect Aoricultur.
al Lands From Pest

County horticultural commissioners
throughout California have been asked
to forward information on the grass
hopper pest reported prevalent in a
number Of districts, particularly in
northern California, to George 81.
Hecke, state horticultural commits
sioner.
Fragmentary reports received at
Hecke's office have indicated that
large swarms Of grasshoppers have
infested agricultural districts in SUIT
ter, Modoc Lassen, Butte and other
counties and have caused considerable
damage to crops.
One of the best methods of EXTERN
ination, an official said, is the spread
ing of poisoned bran mash, which the
hoppers devour quickly. Burning Of
the grass also Is an effective means,
but the fire menace at this season
necessitates the exercise of greatest
caution.
Narrowing, by which means the
eggs of the hoppers are brought to the
surface to be eaten by ants or other
insects and flooding the ground also
are advocated to prevent Matching.
The enforcement of laws for the
curbing Of pests Is vested in the coun-
ty horticultural commissioners, but in
cases where the menace to crops is
extensive the state commission coop
crates in concerted campaign of ex-
termination, as was done this spring
when the statewide rodent drive was
conducted.

FASTENED JOB FOR MINISTER
Youth Couldn't Sec Any Four Years
Counting II 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 Sun
day and thus aid in saving fuel, says
the Indianapolis News. But youth in
Sullivan county-Quite loyal to his
country and his sweetheart, tore
membered the days of his father and
acted accordingly. When Z o'clock came
he went to the family barn, ignored
the presence of his new roadster, took
down his fathers ancient saddle, put
1t 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-wel, never
mind, I'll propose tonight"
He did and Cupid chalked up one
against Mr.. Garfield.

Time brings many changes. Take
for instance the fellows who volun.
teered their services when war was
declared and who have since been pro-
NOTED to be commissioned officers.
Some of these men toiled in shops and

bearable for their superiors, although
they have had the opportunity to do
so. AS an illustration of this the 9th.

to his top sergeant. AS he did so he
spilled some dressing from the salad.
The sergeant noticed this and smiled.

he had worked as serving man, "and

HOUNGSTER HAD RIGHT SPIRIT
NeWsboy's Appreciation of Work OF

Lesson In Patriotism.

Here is story told by an Indianapo-
lis woman:
1.-THE other evening as I was walk
ing over the long bridge that extends
back of the Union station in Baltimore,
my eye, searching for something inter-
esting, caught sight of a small news
boy-just a little, dirty-faced chap
that one does not look at twice. What
especially drew my attention to him,
however, was something unusual in
the way he drew out one Of his papers,
folded it into very small compass, and
tossed it over the railing into the
freight yard below. My eyes involun-
tarily followed the direction of the pa
per, and as / peered over the balus-
tradeI saw stirring scene, numbers
of big army trucks and scores of our
boys busting round busily and cheer
lily unloading and reloading them. One
of the soldiers was in the act of wav-
ing his hand in thanks to the boy
whose paper he had just picked up.

the little fellow. Under cover Of buy
ing paper and getting change, I put
a casual question:. How do you ex-

dler down there? My little friend

he instantly retorted. Then he turned
to gaze again on the fascinating scene
below, and added very softly: He's

Old Irsea. BEARING.

A good deal Is heard about the tenn
porary nature Of fruit trees, and 1t has
been 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
80 apple and pear trees are down and
out.
To those who hold such an idea a
visit to the orchard Of John Catlin, on
the west side Of the river, will be an
eye opener. These trees are carrying a
phenomenal load of fruit this year
and look as though they may be pro-
ducers for years to come, yet they
were planted In 1678-forty years ago.

PRUNE COMES INTO ITS OWN
Has Won Official Recognition as Con-
lection Worthy Of Being Served
| to Fighting Men.

In the piping times of peace the
prune was the butt of cheap wits and
the bane Of the boarder. Now when
the acid test of utility and palatabil-
ity is applied the despised prune steps
into the preferred class-at least on
the American army bill Of fare. It
has won its way solely on its own
merit. The counts In its favor are
food value, tonic value and value as a
CONNECTION. It nourishes, stimulates,
and delights.
The surgeon general Of the army
himself testifies to the loyal and help
full support of the once belittled fruit.
He has added his recommendation to
the approving report of the subsist-
ence division. This report tells us that
out of the 1917 crop .20,000,0OO pounds
Of prunes have been consumed by our
fighting men. Based on size fifty-five,
which is the trade designation of the
average prune, the total number con-
sumed would be 1,1OO,O0O,OO0. Placed
side by side 1t is quite possible that
this total of prunes wouldn't reach
from the American trenches to Berlin,
but each prune, no doubt, is doing its
best to help the Yankee fighters cover
the distance.
There would be sort of poetical
justice in the circumstance If the
cheerful idiot and the other boarders
whose table wit fingered longest about
the patient prune could meet it over
there In Flanders and in Picardy and
find it honored and extolled as the
food Of fighting men.

Aerial Tank.

An aerial tank has been invented
and put into practical use by Italian
soldiers who have astounded the world
by their extraordinary feats in noun

a mountain side that It poured har-

equipped with machine guns. Nolun-

many who responded two were chosen
to man the guns. This improvised

the men in the car finally located the
