RECORD LOST IN ANTIQUITY
Mankind Acquired Power Of
Cohesive Thought.

When first AeoluS set the sails of
windmills in motion is not known, but
there were mills In Europe when
Caedmon sang of the dawn and doom
of the world in the monastery on the
wild coast of Britain. There is some
thing fantastic and inhumanly large
about the great rotating arms, which
has impressed the imagination Of men.
Pantagruel beheld the giant devouring
all the brass pots and pans of the
Tohu Bohu islands for lack of wind
mills, his customary fare; and on the
other side of the Pyrenees the knight
of SOrrOwful Countenance, behOlding
those 80 or 20 giants of the plain of
MOntiel, recommended himself to Dull
cinea and charged, with what conse-
quences to himself and Rosinante all
the world knows. Unfortunately for
Don QuiXote the windmills of La
Mancha have sails which nearly
sweep the ground.
AS if every mill must have it's
quaint story, the one which used
to stand on the Thames side, at Bat
tersea, was said to have been original
ly the packing case in which the en-
peror of Russia intended to carry off
BatterSea church to his own country.
BatterSea refused to part with its
church and the packing case remained
where it had been deposited. On that
small section of the coast OF Holland
between Amsterdam and Zaandam
mills are to be counted by the hun
dred, gayly painted mills, as IS the
fashion with the Dutch, though the
white mills of the softly gray East
Anglican coast are not unknown. a
landmark in the country is the great
white mill outside Bergen op Zoom
on the road to Tholen. Painters have
not failed to record their sense of the
poetry of windmills in landscape.
Daubigny painted mills ut work in a
windy sky with running water in the
foreground. Old Crome's white wind
mill against gray sky is one af the
worlds famous pictures, while Bran
gwyn has glorious engraving of a
windmill in full motion in a glowing
midday sun in his book dedicated to
decentralization Science Monitor.

Why PuIImans Are Put Ahead.

A Encouragement of the order of the
passenger coaches on through trains
passing through Statesville has been
noticed. The Pullmans are carried
next to the engine with day coaches,
followed by the Jim crow" car and
baggage and express cars. This re-
versed order has become a law with
through trains, being adopted as
safety measure, that the steel cars may
be next the engine. 1t has been OBJ
served in railway wrecks that steel
cars in the rear of the train have
caught and crushed lighter coaches
next the engine, causing great loss of
life and property. The carrying of the
heavy steel cars next the engine Is
deemed safer.-Statesville IN. CO. Rec

Each Dairy Farm Should Be Equipped
With an inexpensive and Service
able Sterilizer Such as Is Shown.

ducers a simple homemade steriliZer,
costing not more than $15, which if
used on the farm will help guard the
milk against this initial and serious
contamination. How great Il bearing
sterilization of milk utensils on the
farm has on the bacterial content
OF milk is shown by expert
monts which have proved that the
average milk can, when washed in the
ordinary way, may contain over eight
billion bacteria, and that almost every
milk can so treated harbors millions
Of bacteria which give high bacterial
count and hasten the SOuring of milk.
The homemade sterilizcr for dairy
utensils which is to be demonstrated
uses steam rs Il sterilzing agent. All
that is required to develop steam
enough to steril'2o tho ordinary dairy
utensils is Il tWo-buner kerosene stove,
and there is nothing about the device
which calls for special skill in its eff
fectivc use. The department has
twenty Of these sterilizcrs, described
in Farmers Bulletin 74S, and has of
fered TO supply an outfit for Il two
weeks demonstration to any local
health or dairy official who will agree
to show it in operation to the milk pro-
duccrs in his section.
The effectiveness Of this steriizer
ratory and on the farm. In one eX-
pertinent ten gallons of fresh milk
were divided into two parts. Five gal
Ions, passed through a separator into
five gallon can, both utensils washed
in the ordinary way, showed at the
end of an hour 1,SS0,C00 bacteria per
cubic centimeter. The other five gal
Ions, passed through separator into
q can, after both utensils had been
washed and sterlized by means of the
homemade sterilizer, showed only 24,-
600 bacteria per cubic centimetcr.
The device, moreover, removes foul
odors and leaves the utensils dry as
well as sterilized. Experience shows
that the bacterial count is thus mate,
rally reduced, while the producer finds
'''"b h'' ihi'N uOSo NV ''"i ~ NuiNN''
and has an improved flavor.
The specialists of the dairy division
are hopeful that the device, wherever
1t is demonstrated, will come into com.
mon use. 1t Is believed that this ster-
ilizer will find ready adoption among
small dairymen because of its low cost
of construction and operation, and be-
cause its use will tend to improve the
quality and increase the keeping char
acter of the milk.

How Father Handicaps Himself.

It has been noticed that in many
cases of Influenza the father succumbs
to The disease, while the rest of the
family gets well.
81 find that the father is less care
full of his energy than the rest of the
family" said woman who has been
doing a great deal of volunteer nurs-
ing since the epidemic. an the first
place, he thinks he has bad cold and
keeps on with his work. Then when
it is absolutely necessary for him to
stay at home he attends to the fur
mace and waits on the others who are
sick. If every man would go to bed
and stay there when he is first III, ii
would be much better for his family
as he is the wage Garner and the pro-
tector generally, and needs care that
he may conserve his own energy for
the purpose of fighting the disease,
and getting well that he may take

SELF-FEEDER SAVES MONEY
Circular Explaining Great
Value of Device.

How labor and feed may be saved
by using self-feeder is explained in
n circular issued by the division of
extension in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college and written by Carl
L. Thompson Of the division.
Mr.. Thompson shows in the bulletin
that more rapid and economical gains
are made when the self-feeder is used
than when the hogs are fed by hand.
Plans and specifications for construct
ing self-feeders at small cost are in
cluded in the circular, which may be
mad upon request to the division of
extension.

Hogs Enjoying Themselves at Pasture.

in feeding value as well. 1t is usually
advisable to have some other stock in
the pastures with the hogs to eat the
cOarser plants. Cattle are best suited
for this purpose.
1t is impossible to state how many
animals per acre will be supported by
a permanent pasture. In most cases
1t is advisable to have some Of the
best supplementary forage crops to
Craze in addition to the pasture. A
safe rule is to have at least one acre
of good permanent pasture for each
brood sow kept. OF course this acre
age could be reduced or the number
Of hogs increased where a complete
succession of supplementary forage
crops is raised or where the land is
very productive. A greater area should
be allowed if the grazing is poor.

GOOD PASTURAGE FOR SWINE

nlshed by Pasture.

(prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
The Importance Of having a good
permanent pasture for hogs can hard
ly be overestimated. In many hog
producing localities no other green
forage Is used than that furnished by
grass or grass and clover pastures.
The advantage of not having to go to
the expense Of frequently preparing
and seeding the land appeals to most
farmers.
Hogs do not relish grasses except
when the leaves are young and ten
der. Hence 1t Is necessary for the
best results to keep permanent pas
lures well stocked. If the plants are
allowed to mature they not only be-
come less palatable but are deficient

He Knew the Cashier.

Young Leslie Harris, on his initial
visit to Il Pico Heights church, was
extremely interested when his father
started to take up the collection.
Unable to stand the strain, he deftly
eluded his mother and attached him
self as convoy to papa, following him
down the aisle with his eyes growing
larger and rounder as the money
flowed in.
This method of obtaining wealth
was new TO him, but he thought he
knew its destination and as the ushers
reached the rear of the church and
turned for the solemn march to the
pulpit his voice rang over the room.

DATES TO BREED BEEF COWS
Definite Time of Year Should
Be Decided Upon.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
In order to have uniform herd of
rnives, cows should be bred at a def
mite time of year with this point in
view. For fall and early winter calves
(NOvember and Decemher), cows
should be bred during February and
March. For spring calves February
and March,, which in most cases is
more desirable date TO have the calves
dropped the cows should be bred dur
ing May and juno. Where milk for
family use during winter months is
not an important consideration COWS
may be more chcaply wintered, and
calves escape flies and hot weather
when dropped at that time. In all
breeding operations pure-bred sires
only should be used.
Breeders of pure-bred cattle. who
desire to grow calves for exhibition,
should breed their cows from the LIST
to the 18th of December TO produce
calves Of senior classification, and
from the list to the 18th of April for
calves of junior rating.
