WARM WATER FOR DAIRY cow
Cheaper to Heat Supply Than for
Animals to Do It Themselves With
Expensive Feeds.
North Dakota Agricultural College Bull

North Dakota Agricultural College Bull
letin.)
A good supply of clean, fresh water
should always be at hand for dairy
cows. Much water is needed for the
high-producing mich COW owing to the
nature of her product, about 81 per
cent Of which is water. It should be
handy at all times, and in the winter,
If the tank is outside, heat should be
applied to take the chill off the water.
Cows will drink more water if warmed
to GO to 20 degrees Fahrenheit than if
made to drink ice water. A tank heater
can be provided at low cost that will
keep water at proper temperature,
thereby saving feed and energy of the
animal. 1t is cheaper to warm ice wa
ter than to allow the cow to warm it
with high-priced feed.

Orqandie for Neckwear.

Sheer white French organdie con-
tinues to be popular for moderate
priced neckwear. Often it is embroid-
cred with small white dots or edged
with net or the finest of lace.
Pronounced vogue is promised for
colored blouses. Particularly notice
able are combinations of both color
and material. Satin is often combined
with georgette crepe. sometimes in
contrasting colors, but usually in one

He Picked Up q LIVING,

Sir John Kirk, who recently cele-
brated his fiftieth anniversary Of work
in connection with the Ragged School
union, tells an amusing anecdote Of
how he once questioned a London waif
whom he had befriended as to his
method Of earning living.
The young fellows reply was typical
Of the London street arab.
"Well, guv'nor." he said, tits like
this. I picks Strawberries in the sum.

the winter picks pockets, and, as a
rule, I'm pickin' oakum for the rest Of

Il don't know" he answered, d ID
solute bewilderment.
At that moment he heard the mel
low, gonglike sound that they had
heard aboard the F55.
And slowly, as if in answer to the
call, the jellylike medium that sur.
rounded them began to drift away, to
be hung up, as if it were curtain.
and before their astonished gaze there
evolved the strangest stage setting
that could ever have been conceived.
First there came into view the SUBJ
marine, occupying. as it were, the CEN
ter of this stage, her bow sunk in the
OOze, her stern still lower. They had
been lying within hundred PAGES Of
her.
Next appeared the sloping edges Of
the crater, seen, not through water but
through clear air, with border Of
yellow crinoids, ceaselessly stirring,
as though breeze ruffled them. Then
there began to be visible, in the TANKS
of the mountain, structures, appar-
emily Of hardened mud, taking the
shape. Of fantastic temples, with pill
lars and doorways with low lintels, a
submerged city of cliff dwellers, and
yet each Identical with its neighbors,
so that they seemed to have been fash
Toned with the same unchanging pre-
cision as the cells of the bee.
And the whole crater swarmed with
the sea-monsters. no longer invisible,
but outlined in phosphorescent fire.
And, standing in front Of Donald
and Ida, his features clearly visible
through the glass Of his own diving
mask, surveying them with q cool, dis
passionate gaze, was Ira MacBeard!
AS they stared at him, he raised his
hand and struck something suspended
from his neck, giving out the mellow
sound which they had heard before.
he disappeared from view
in the midst Of swarm Of the mon
sters, which, surrounding Donald and
the girl, began to push them toward
the cavern in the mountain side.
The push was gradual, and appar-
emily the result of some natural quail
lty not known on land. There was no
sense Of muscular movement. It
seemed to be momentum devoid Of the
factor Of speed. IRE
sistibly, and yet quietly, the two were
pushed toward the entrance in the
tank of the island.
In vain Donald resisted. In vain he
:ried to force path toward the sub
marine, dashing his fists against the
bodies of the monsters. He made not |
he least impression upon those half
spherical forms.
A seaman under water and one in |
he air had very different powers Of |
assistance. He might as we'll have
ought an army of animated feather
'eds.
Slowly, without strain or attack, he
cit himself being forced forward. He
vas held tightly on every side, except
or the narrow gap that opened in
ront Of him. He was forced to devote
imself to supporting Ida.
On every side the globular, trans
lcent, phosphorescent forms seemed
D crowd in on him, leaving only a
my way in the direction Of one Of
he mud-pillared entrances. Yet, even
hus, Donald had the impression of
ONE unconscious force that animated

Potatoes add succulence to the dairy
ration. Where corn silage is not avail
able and there are plenty of small po-
tatoes, a peck n day will give marked
increase in milk flow. They should be
introduced into the ration gradually,
and should be run through a root cut

1t was surcharged with oxygen. It
invigorated him. He felt the thrill
of renewed life in his body, he felt
his shrunken arteries tingle as his

through them.
It seemed unbelievable. At first he
thought that he had died, and that this
was the souls awakening.
Then, with quick fingers, he unfas-
tened Ida's body-piece and tore the
mask from its fastenings. He heard
her sigh.

He spoke the truth. The figure was

them grinning human face, made Of
the same plastered mud, looked down.
It was the first sign Of conscious

some devil craftsman had contrived
to catch, not so much the form as the
humanness Of it.
1t was upon larger scale, precisely
such q figure as child or q savage

reproduce the human figure. There
were even the dawnings of art in the

Davies picked up one Of the bones
and looked at 1t intently.
"Donald!" he said softly, not to at.

on the floor against the mound, seemed
on the point Of falling asleep from
WEAKNESS. He held out the bone.
Both looked at it. It was the bone
of ripper heel. The monsters were
beyond any doubt.
"Davies!" cried Donald, a moment
later. Don't you see what that figure
Is? It's an idol. And the bones are
those of creatures of their own spe-

monsters in their abominable feasts.
It's the first dawnings of self-con.

There could be no other interpre-

There is no appeal to be careful with

Women cannot subsist on a steady diet

interesting. And no one will deny that
never before have gold and silver bro
cades been utilized in such attractive
