Forty Is Sacred Number
With Respect to Weather
After St. SWithin'S Day

The 40-day period of imaginary
flood or drought following ST. Swith-
ms day is now long past for this year,
and we shall hear no more of that
singular superstition, says the New
York Herald, until next summer, when
1t will doubtless ''bOb up serenely,"
only to be discredited again as 1t has
invariably been every year since the
worthy bishop of Winchester was bur-
led the second time. For, Of course,
the prophecy has never so much as
once been fulfilled. It requires every
day from July Is to August "a in every
year to be either rainy or rainless,
which is something that never has
happened in any year.
Why 40 days was selected as the
period of meteorological monotony is an
interesting question, though it is prob
able that it was suggested by the 40
days downpour in Noah's time. At
any rate, it is only one Of the many
noteworthy uses that have been made
of the number 40 in fact and fiction.
After the 40 days and 40 nights of
rain at the deluge, it will be recalled,
Noah waited 40 days before he opened
the window of the ark and sent forth
the raven.

Largest Shade Tree in
Country Is Sycamore; 46
Feet in Circumference

The American Forestry Magazine is
urging the planting of sycamores for
shade trees. 1t shows that they are of
rapid growth and attain large size. It
also calls attention to the beauty of
the tree-a thing which many people
do not really appreciate. In the in
tereSt of more beautiful cities, it is
desirable that sycamores be encour-
aged, the magazine urges.
The largest shade tree in this coun-
try is sycamore in Worthington, Ind.
1t is 46 feet in circumference and $50
feet in height-the most beautiful
specimen of tree to be found at least
in the middle West. But it isn't the
only grand old sycamore" to be
found; there are thousands and thou
sands of them in this country, says the
Columbus Dispatch.
The sycamore requires plenty Of
moisture, but moisture is easily sup
piled in a modern city. Besides, the
tree has habit of reaching out after
moisture, it's roots extending for long
distances and going deep into the
earth.

Short Measure in Canned
Goods to Have Attention
of Federal Authorities

Federal food inspectors have been
instructed to watch for interstate ship
ments Of canned foods which have
been Slack-filled; that is, which con-
tain too much water and too little
solid food. Officials Of the bureau Of
chemistry, United States department
of agriculture, who are charged with
the enforcement of the federal food
and drugs act, say that action under
the law will be taken against VIOLA
tors.
The practice of slack-f1lling food
cans, in the opinion of the officials, is
demoralizing to the trade and unfair
to the consumer. To put full can in
competition with a slack-flled can
places the honest Gamer at disad-
vantage. The consumer almost inva-
riably receives more for his money
when buying a full can than when
buying a slack-f1lled can even though
he pays higher price for the full can.
In some instances, however, when the
Gamer sells his slack-filled cans to the
trade at prices lower than the market
price for a full can, the consumer is
charged as much for the slack-filled
can as for the full can. In such cases
both the Gamer and the dealer share
in unfair profits at the expense of the
consumer.
Putting excess liquid in cans adds
unnecessary expense in canning, stor-
ing and shipping, since the excess
creases freight and storage charges all
along the line-through the hands Of
the Gamer, broker, the wholesale and
the retail grocer. Since this addition
al and useless expense is borne inva-
riably by the consumer, it adds it's
part to the high cost Of living.

Clothing the Family
Consideration Of Real Purpose Of
Clothes Will Help in
Economizing

Clothing the family is a business
ically as any other business, declares
Laura Makepeace of the Colorado Ag-
ricultural college.
What do you want your clothing to
do for you and what do you want it
to show? Do you not want these
things:
Protection from cold, heat, moisture
and rough surfaces?
Freedom in movement, breathing
and standing?
Beauty, by choosing materials, col
ors and designs suited to you and your
occupation?
Self respect, clothing which is ap-
prOpriate, becoming and within your
means, makes yourself and neighbOrs
think well of you.
Have you thought of the different
kinds of garments you should have?
These can be divided into three
groups: outerclothing, underclothing
and accessories. You need to think,
too, Of the cost of cleaning, repairs,
renovation and remodeling.
Allowing Is per cent of the yearly
income for clothing, a good proportion
is, outerclothing, 20 per cent; under
clothing 20 per cent; accessories 5 per
cent, and care, per cent. Go over
the garments on hand. Decide what
can he freShenod or romOdoled ESti-
mate what this will cost and what new
things are needed, then make your
budget and stick to it.
Go shopping with a purpose.
Learn to recognize quality.

Useful Asbestos Is Found
in Most Parts of Country

Asbestos in modern times has come
to be very extensively manufactured
into incombustible cloth, gloves, felt,
paper and other articles Of common
use, and is much used as covering to
steam boilers and pipes, in the manu-
facture of gas stoves, and, mixed with
metallic pigments, it is employed as
paint for wooden structures, roofs,
partitions and the like to render them
freproof or fre-resistant. 1t is found
In most parts of the world, chiefly in
connection with serpentine. Scien-
tifcally it is described as highly
useful mineral, fibrous variety Of
several members of the hornblende
family, composed of separable fila
ments, with a silky luster, the fibers
sometimes being delicate, flexible and
elastic and at other times stiff and
brittle.

Stoppage of Circulation
Causes "PinS and Needles"

After being for a long time in
constrained attitude peculiar numb
ness and prickling is often felt in the
arm, the leg, or the foot. This is
caused by some interruption to the
circulation of the blood and can usual
ly be removed by rubbing or exer-
else. Physicians say that the reason
for this sensation, which is decidedly
uncomfortable, is that pressure for a
certain length of time deadens the
Sensibility of a nerve. When this
pressure is suddenly removed (as in

and Much Patience

ripped down the belly from the stick
ing cut to the tail. making this a neat,
straight rip, free from jagged edges.
The sides should then be skinned by
using the knife as a skinning medium,
working forward to the brisket and
then back to the inside Of the hind leg,
close to the tail, lifting away the hide
with the free hand and stretching it
tightly by pulling outward and upward
against the knife. No wrinkle should
be allowed to form under the hide as
it is being removed, while a long,
steady downward stroke should be
used in removing It. The hide should
then be skinned off nearly to the back
BONE leaving it attached at the thighs
and shoulders. The prop should then
be changed, so that the other side Of
the animal may be skinned. Although
proper skinning without scores or
cuts requires considerable practice, a
proper pattern requires only sharp
knife and straight, ripping, open cuts
along the correct lines, as explained
partment's Farmers Bulletin 1865,
which now is available free on request.
skinning at Front Legs.
For the cut at the front legs, start
at the center, ripping line well forward
at the brisket and somewhat in adj
vance of the front legs; draw the knife
slantingly back to the union of the
fore leg and body and continue the
cut down the leg to meet that made
when skinning the feet and shins. The
same is done for the hind legs, start
ing at the center, about six inches
from the tail, and cutting upward to
the back of the legs, so as to connect
with the cut previously made. While
the animal is still down also skin over
the rump and back side of the body.
Next insert the spreader, or gambrel,
in the hind legs and raise the animal
to a half hoist, so that it's shoulders
are resting on the floor. The next
operation consists in removing the tail
bone, which is done by ripping the
hide down the underside of the tail to
the brush or tip of the tail bone. Then
the tail bone should be cut from the
body and pulled from the hide, being
sure to remove the entire bone, after
which the hide is skinned away care
fully from the base of the tail.
Horse hides are removed in practi-
cally the same manner as hides of cat
tie. They are graded almost entirely
on the condition of the butt or rear
portion. Particular pains should be-
taken to keep the hide free from.
scores, cuts, and dragged spots. Tails.
and names should be removed from.

SIZE OF FARM TO CULTIVATE
Should Work Only So Much as
He Can Attend to.

The farmer, unable to obtain help,
should thoroughly prepare and plant
only so much land as he can with la
Dor saving implements and machines
cultivate and harvest the crops. It
would be better than to plant larger
acreage poorly prepared and half cul-
tivated. Larger yields and better quail
ity come with greater profit from land

Burning Grass Around Border of In.

as Means to Kill Bugs.

Burning fence rows or grass around
the border infested grain fields is
recommended as a fall practice to de-
stroy chinch bugs. A slow, steady
flame, famed by slight breeze, re-
suits in the killing of from 80 to 90,
per cent of the alternating insects; it
also greatly reduces the number that
would survive the winter and move to
the wheat fields in the spring.

The farmer who wishes to kill and
skin an animal should select a clean,
hard spot, under a tree if possible, or
if indoors, a room with a concrete
floor. In the latter case a block and
tackle must be provided for swinging
heavy animals, while outside limb of
a tree may be used for suspending the
carcass. Before killing the animal
should be cleaned off, curried, and
brushed thoroughly in order to remove
all dirt, and care must be exercised
not to bruiSe or soil the hide or car
cass in the subsequent operations of
killing and skinning. The skinning
knife should be sharp and should be
used no more than is necessary, as
special care must be used to avoid cut
ting the hide or skin. Skinning is
done best and easiest before the ami
NAL heat has escaped, it being essential
to leave all the flesh on the animal, as
its presence on the hide or skin is very
Objectionable.
The operations of skinning are diff
cult to describe so that they may be
followed easily, according to special
ists In fact, experience in flaying,
especially of hides, can be obtained
only by practice. It requires somewhat
Of knack, and much patience and
care must be exercised until the knack
Is obtained. No written directions can
be as clear and effective as actual OBJ
ServatiOn and trials. It is recommend
ed that the farmer or small killer take
advantage of any and all opportunities
he may have to visit the larger killing
establishments where proper methods
are followed.
Skin the Head First.
After stunning and sticking the ami
NAL in order that it may bleed prop
erly, the operator should begin skinnine
the head, cheeks, and face, as this
operation is easier to perform while
the animal is still suspended. When
skinning over the cheeks always leave
the meat on the head, as one of the
faults Of country hides is the presence
of more or less cheek meat Remove
the head by severing from the neck at
the top of the spinal column, or atlas
joint, leaving the horns on the skull
and not on the hide.
The animal should then be complete
ly lowered placed on it's back, and held
in that position by using a spike stick
as prop, placing one end of it in the
brisket and the other in the ground or
floor. The legs should then be skinned
out and the feet removed. The dew
claws should be cut off, and after the
legs are skinned the hide should be
