OLD BossY Dotted ON FISH
Cow Feasts on Anglers Prize Salmon
and Tops OFF Lunch With Trout
He Flung at Her.

The angler could cast fly, and had
but had never so much as seen sal
mon river. Great was his joy, there
fore, when one day he received an in
vitation to fish one of the most famous
spring salmon rivers in the north of
Scotland, relates the Field. In the
very first cast that he tried he hooked
and landed his first salmon-a ten
FOUNDER.
The first salmon Is always the most
perfect and beautiful that ever was
seen, and the angler reflected that if
he carried his fish in the bag all day
It would dry and lose Its lovely sheen.
On the top Of the brae there was a
marshy nook that would answer his
purpose admirably. He deposited his
treasure in this nest and, having COW
cred it with thick layer of rushes,
went on his way.
The rest of the day he caught moth
ing except a half-pound trout. Still
he was very happy and content as he
turned homeward, and whistled mer-
rily as he approached the marshy
nook. But there he found Highland
COW in the act of consuming his sal
mon, of which little remained except
THE head and the tail. In his anger he
flung the trout savagely at the COW,
hitting her fully in the face; but, so
far from taking offense, She seemed
rather to think that he had brought
her bonnie bouche wherewith to COM
plete the feast. for, after gazing at him
for moment with the innocent, con-
fiding eyes of her kind, she contentedly
swallowed the trout.

WARPED ON DEATH PENALTY
Sir Samuel RomllIy, British States.
man, First to Bring End to Cap
ltal Punishment Statutes.

The remarkable career of Sir Sam
luei Romilly. the British statesman,
came to a tragic end 90 years ago. He
was the first influential man In Eng,
LAND to attempt to bring about the
abolition OF capital punishment, notes
10 London correspondent. When he en-
tered public life the English statutes
punished with death nearly 300 crimes,
ranging from murder and treason
down to keeping company with gyp-
sizes. Romilly, who was of French de-
scent, launched an agitation against
these codes, and In 1908 he succeeded
In repeating the Elizabethan statute
which made 1t capital offense to steal
privately from the person of another.
From that time until his death he
Iwaged war increasingly against these
cruel statutes, renewing his motions
session after session, and although he
failed, he cleared the way for the sue
cess of others who kept up the agita-
ton. Romilly was devoted to his
wife, and when she died, October 20,
1918, the philanthropist fell into de-
lirium of grief. -Four days later his
grief had so preyed on his mind that
/ he went mad and killed himself.

numbers often may be kept down by
trapping, while the sale of pelts makes
such activities profitable. Often crops
may be protected by the erection Of
wire-mesh fences between them and
the marsh or pond where the animals
live. Such fences should reach at least
six inches beneath the surface of the
ground to prevent the muskrat bur-
rowing under.
I Where the animals prove trouble
some by causing breaks In embank-

has been found effective, since the ami

the hole as fast as they open It.

NEW TROUGH WATERS STOCK
Animal, Stepping on Platform, Opens
Valves Which Allow a Fresh, Cold
Stream to Pour In.

A trough has been invented which
can gauge the amount Of water an ami
NAL drinks. There is platform which
works in conjunction with valves on
the supply and drain pipes of the
trough. When an animal steps on the
platform the valves are opened and a
stream of water pours in. AS he Stakes
his thirst and steps off the platform
the inlet is closed and the surplus wa
ter is drained off.
The valve mechanism Of this device
Is mounted in a concrete well In the
ground. The valve of the supply pipe
and the valve of the drain pipe are
mounted side by side, and the stems of
both valves fit into a single operating
lever. Hinged above this mechanism
at the level of the ground is the plat
form. The front end of the platform
is raised slightly by pair of springs
and is connected with the lever of the
valves. The water trough lies just in
front Of the platform.
AS soon as an animal walks on the
platform ne presses the front end down
and opens the valves of the trough
pipes. The water gushes in at just the
rate that he will drink. His thirst
quenched, he leaves the platform, the
springs raise 1t up and close the valves
Very little water is wasted, and the
drink furnished the thirsty animal is
as cool and fresh as that which is sup
piled to the faxmag and his men.

overcominn camoufIane.

An American physicist believes that
the advantages Of camouflage-or at
least certain kinds of camoufiage-
be overcome by an opposing army by
providing colored glasses or screens
of contrasting coiors to use with feld
glasses. When the colors of these
screens are properly selected, uniforms
and other objects may be made to apt
pear in contrast, instead of in hars
mony with their surroundings, he
claims. Camoufage as practiced In
many cases is accomplished largely
by the use Of paint, objects being
given shades that blend with the land
scape. In spite of certain difficulties
that would arise, it is believed that
such efforts at concealment could be
rendered quite Intellectual by the
means stated.

HANDLING SEED CORN
Care Necessary In Selecting Re-
quires Smelling by Hand.
Picking Out Most Productive Eara
While In Field and Storing In Dry
Place ls Only Half Of Very
Important Task.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Smelling Is one Of the important
steps In selecting seed corn. The care
necessary In selecting and handling
corn to be used for seed requires shell
ing to be done by hand. Selecting the
seed from the most productive stocks
as they stand In the field and storing
them In dry place free from insects
and rodents is only half the Job In pro-
iv1ding the next years seed corn sup
ply.
Seed ears should first be nubbed and
the kernels from tip and butt should
be discarded from the seed supply.
The small kernels from the tips are
less productive thar the other kernels
on the ear; the blunt. thick, rounded
kernels from the butts are just as pro
ductve as any Of the rest. but because
Iof their shape and size they do MOI
plant uniformly when used In a corn
planter with other kernels.
Smelling by hand takes more time
and labor, but is profitable. The me-
chanical corn shelter Is likely to FL
Jure the germ tips Of the individual
grains and to thus destroy o. impair
their power to terminate. No matter
how large the required supply, It win
still pay to shell 1t painstakingly By
manual labor, because the greater the
! acreage to be planted. the greater the
ultimate profit.
Each ear should be shefled separate
ly into shallow pan or boz, and eyers
blemished. misshapen or worm-eaten
kernel should be rejected As the seed
from each ear Is found satisfactory
and sound. and free from poor keyneA
