Who Built II?

"WhO built 1t, shall We ask? God

stars in their courses built it, and the
nations. Greek Athens labOrs here.
and the Roman Father JOve and
Guardian Mars. The Gaul labOrs here
and the Frank kingly Norman, mighty

nor do the historians brag Of him.
Any quantity Of heraldries of knaves

they call their history; but this is
probably the first time you ever read
the name Of Robert Of LuZarches. l
say he scarcely cared we are not
sure that he cared at all. He signed
his name nowhere, that l can hear Of.
You may perhaps find some recent ini-
tials cut by English remarkable visit
Ors DESTROYS OF Immortality, here and
there about the edifice. but Robert the
builder, or at least the master of that
building, cut his on no stone Of it."

Give covert" a Chance.

Many fine adjective has been
spoiled by being hooked up, in some
facile phrase, to commonplace noun.
For example, overt. Never In my life,
writes III. l.. Mencken in the New York
Sun, have / encountered overt save in
front of act. Thus Joined and poisoned,
1t is mOuthed abOminably by lawyers
and newspaper editorial writers; the
hterate fauna Of a superior type avoid
1t almost altogether. And yet it is a
fine adjective. a juicy adjective, an
adjective worth knowing better. Why

MONKEYS ACTUALLY AT WORK
Ingenious English Officer Devised
Scheme by Which They Earn
Their Daily Bread.

Monkeys actually are made to work
In Malabar, India. which Is perhaps the
only place in the world where they
earn their salt. The Malabar monkey
Is of the fine species known as the Ian
CUR. 1t is very warm at Malabar, and
there is fan called the punka, which
used to be kept in motion by slave.
1t required a slave to work each pun
ka, but now every punka I'm Malabar
is worked by a monkey. 1t was an
English officer who conceived the idea
Of making the langur work In that
manner. The fan is a movable frame
covered with canvas and suspended
from the ceiling. The motion is caused
by pulling a cord. The officer tied the
hands Of a langur to one Of the cords.
and then by means Of another cord put
the machine in motion.
OF course, the monkeys hand went
up and down, and the animal wondered
what sort Of game was being played.
Then the officer patted its head and
fed 1t with candy till soon the langur
thought 1t fine fun to work the punka.
The experiment was successful. and
now thousands Of monkeys are in har-
ness.

NOT so EASY TO BE BAD
One Who Tries II May Come to At
tach New Meaning to Biblical
Injunction.

1t Is popular fallacy that 1t Is
much easier to be bad than good. So
firmly rooted Is this error that 1t Is
universally accepted, II. Marley writes
In Judge.
Yet it is very easy to demonstrate the
absurdlty Of 1t. Imagine yourself. for
q moment, having decided to be as bad
as possible. Throw off all thought Of
convention Of law, Of caring for the
opinions of others and of needing the
still, small voice within you.
Here you are then, ready to he bad.
Not just ordinarily, pretty bad-but
bad to the nth degree.
What shall you do? Murder? That's
silly, for there is none you hate enough
and If there was the fear of eventual
ly sitting in chair not upholstered
for comfort but for speedy demise
would deter you from murder.
Rob bank? However delightful
the prospect. you can't tear open iron
bars with your bare hands nor dig
through granite with your fingernails.
Elope with your neghbor's wife?
That Is the most ridiculous of all. for
you know your neighbor and that re-
moves any wish to endure. even for a
moment, what he suffers Indefinitely.
So you stand, and mentally go
through the whole category of badness
without finding a single thing you can
do without much more trouble than
you could perform some good deed.
The worst you can picture yourself do
Ing Chat Is feasible) is such a COM
mon peccadillO that you must despise
1t for its very littleness.
SO you see the difficulty Of being
just little bad-the utter impossible
fly Of being really bad.
Then the Biblical injunction comes
to you with an entirely new meaning:

BLACKLEG CAUSED BY GERMS
HighIy-Bred Calves Should Be Vac.
einated Before II Picks Up
Little Organisms.

Blackleg Is caused by q small germ,
an organism about one three-thou-
sandth Of an inch long. This organism
multiplies very rapidly by one organ
ism dividing into two individuals and
these again dividing in the same way.
Also by producing very much smaller
spores or seeds. These spores are very
hardy and resist extreme heat and
cold. remaining alive sometimes for
many years. AS consequence when
a pasture corral or feedlOt is once
contaminated with the organism there
is no telling how long 1t will harbor
the infection. Disinfecting such prem
ises Is impractical. Safety lies in vac
cination. In all contagious or germ
diseases the animals most likely to get
more or less weakened from any cause
at weaving time, after changing from
poorly fed to heavy feeding or vice
versa. Immunizing beforehand insures
safety. Highly bred calves are also
more susceptible than scrubs. Many
operators report perfect results when
they vaccinate at the same time they
brand. dehorn. or castrate. Vaccinate
any time for blackleg.
When calf is turned upon infected
ground It picks up some of the spores
which gain entrance to the body in
various ways - through the bruised
skin. through the mouth either with
animal licking itself. These spores
Immediately come into active life.
begin to grow and multiply. and If the
the food and water or merely by the
animal is susceptible one It con-
tracts the disease. If II is immune
the germ will have no effect whatever
upon IT. Therefore. immunize the calf
with a reliable vaccine before It picks
up these organisms.

excellent results, but is most popular
with the dairyman.
One source of pea ensilage Is the
refuse of pea canneries. This material
is not often placed in regular silO,
but Is stacked up green as it comes from
the canDery and allowed to ferment In
the stacks.
Field Peas as a Green-Manure and
Cover Crop.
The field pea is well suited for use
as green-manure crop in orchards
and Is used quite extensively for this
purpose in the citrus orchards of Cal
ifOrnia. No other crop except vetch
Is so well adapted for this use in the
southern part of that state.
When used for green manure the
peas should not be plowed under I'M
til they have reached their maximum
growth, unless other conditions con-
nected with the main crop require
that the blowing be done earlier.
The most favorable time will prob
ably be reached, about the time the
first pods are well filled.
The varieties selected for use as a
green manure or a cover crop should
be those which are known to be adapt
ed to the locality, and one with a good
sized vine is to be preferred over those
that make a heavy yield Of seed. The
large MarrOwfat peas. such as the Ca
madam Beauty, Arthur, Paragon, and
Mackay, are well adapted for this pur-
pose, as are also the Prussian Blue and
Wisconsin Blue.
The use Of green-manure crop is
profitable only in sections where suffi-
cient soil moisture Is present to cause
the quick decay of the vegetable mat
ter turned under.

Lime is as essential to the upbuild-
