Could See Resemblance.

In downtown store the other day
woman stood near the cash desk very
pardonably and proudly showing off a
little baby girl, of whom the exhibitor
quite obviously was an aunt. The
child's effectiveness consisted mainly
of its head-dress and cluster of rich
golden curls. An admiring group soon
gathered around, while the woman
pointed out the baby's finer points of
beauty concluding with the rather far
fetched statement that Everybody
says she locks just like me y The
woman, busy talking, did not notice
that the child had become restive and
was tugging with both hands at the
ribbons which fastened the dainty
cap on her head, and suddenly the
knot was united. and off came the cap.
And off cuale the curls. too, which
were taste. ID to the cap, leaving the
baby as IN ! as the floOrwalker who

GOOD CARPET-GRASS
PASTURE FOR STOCK
Little, if Any, Inferior in Vat!e to
Bluegrass.
Close Grazing Is Essential to Mainte.
nance Of Crop in Best Condition
Must Never Be Burned Over
Write for Bulletin.

Good carpet-grass pasture on the ev.
idence available seems little. if any, in
ferior in value to bluegrass pasture.
The experience of careful farmers in
dicates that the best carpet-grass pas
ture will furnish grazing for one COW
to the acre for about FIVE months each
season and for one COW to two acres
for three or four months longer.
Close grazing is very essential to
maintain the grass in the best condi-
ton. The trampllng BY the stock
keeps the soil compacted, favoring the
spread Of carpet grass, and close graz
ing keeps down the taller growing
plants which would injure 1t by shad-
ing.
If field Of carpet grass be left un-
grazed after October l it will grow
quite tall. In the protection thus at
fordetl green leaves will appear
through much of the winter and fur.
nish winter pasture. The cattle in eat.
ing the green leaves consume Incl
.ientally many Of the dry leaves which
otherwise they would avoid. Such a
field must never be burned over. as fire
is very destructive to carpet grass.

SOUND QUALITIES OF HORSE
First Consideration Of Buyer and

The soundness Of horse is one OF
the first considerations of the buyer
and should be of the breeder, accord
ing to the United States department OF
agriculture. If the animal IL not suffi-
GENTLY sound to withstand the use for
which he is intended, the logical time
to learn of this Is before the purchase.
Selection must be based primarily
on a thorough, systematic examine
ton; the examination should be based
on a clear knowledge of desirable and
undesirable qualities.
Not only the presence Of unsound-
ness, but also the condition or serious
ness of the unsoundness should be
noted.
Temporary unfltness should be dis
tinguished from permanent unsound-
ness.

MOST POPULAR GIVEN NAME
"John," or Its Derivative, Common In
All MISUNDERSTANDING Size
Of Jones Family.

John Is the most common given, or
Christian, name We have. Its history
Is curious. 1t came originally from the
Hebrew Jehohannen. God is gracious"
The Greeks made 1t JOhanan, and in
the feminine it became Anna and Han
nah. The name was unknown in Sax
on England and was seldom used
among the Normans. In the Dooms-
day book, the record of the inhabitants
of England which William the Con-
queror had complied. only two Johns
are listed, and one Of them Is a Dane.
The German form is Hans, and some
times Johan. From these we have the
surnames Hanson and Johanson. The
diminutive is found in Hanks, Hankin,
Hankinson, Jankin, Jenkins, Jensen
and Jennings. Shane Is the Irish form
OF John and Jean the French. Consid-
ering the popularity of the name John
and the fact that at this time 1t was
spelled "J-o-n" and pronounced "Jone,"
the size of the Jones family will be ex-
planned. The name means "son of
john" John Jones Is found In almost
every community.

"BULSHEvIKS" OF LIVE STOCK
New Title Applied by Wisconsin Farm
er to tho Reactionaries Of
Bovine Society.

From a farmer in Wisconsin comes
a new word for use in the Better
Sires-Better Stock" campaign now
being carried on by the United States
department of agriculture in co-opera-
ton with state and local agencies. He
applies a new title to the reactionaries
Of bovine society, and cites the in
dubitable fact that scrub bulls are the
enemies Of good production; that they
levy upon the milk, cream and butter
checks and compel the farmer to keep
cows, where the cows should keep the
farmer.
With these charges in mind and
with his eyes on the international
situation. this farmer suggests that
the scrub bulls be known hereafter as
the bulsheviks.

PAGES or worse still trip him up and

whole squad into confusion. In turn
the whole company would feel the ef-
feet.
Each hog breeder has very def
mite responsibility to his community.
directly to his neighbors and indirect
ly to every hog breeder in the coun-
try. If he fails to care properly for
his hogs and Is not alert in guarding
his stock against infection, he may be
responsible for the introduction Of
cholera and its spread among the hogs
of his neighbors. An infected area
would be created and if not properly
quarantined might easily prove men
ace to producers many miles distant.
Remaining Problems.
The eradication Of hog cholera Is
largely a matter of education and de-
ponds to great extent upon the CO.
operation given by state agencies, live
stock producers and dealers, and prac-
ticing veterinarians. A great deal OF
value has already been accomplished
and prejudice against the use OF
serum has been largely overcome.
There remain other problems,
though, to be completely solved and
which need special attention. Among
them are: The neglect on the part
of owners to clean and disinfect in
fected premises; the promiscuous use
Of hog-cholera virus in the treatment
Of the disease by irresponsible or in
competent individuals; the failure OF
some farmers and officials to observe
closely prescribed methods to prevent
the introduction and spread Of infec-
ton; the lack of restrictions in the
traffic in infected animals; the inn
proper disposal Of hogs that die Of
cholera; and the sale, purchase, and
transportation of cholera hogs by un-
scrupulous dealers.
All that Is required Of the producer
is the observance Of a few simple
rules Of precaution. Infected premises
should be guaranteed, sick hogs and
newly purchased stock isolated, chOl-
era-stricken ones burned and swine
quarters thoroughly cleaned and dis
infected. A few days each year of
scraping, cleaning and dislnfecting
will accomplish a great deal; and use
Of serum in time may save a whole
herd. Constant vigilance Is the price
Of cholera-free hogs.

New Thread Has Fine Qualities,

A sea grass that grows abundantly
about the shores of Japan has been
found to yield fiber which. properly
mixed with cotton, forms a thread
much cheaper and. stronger than one
Of all cotton. The process Of remov.
ing the rind Of the weed, which has
been patented by its Japanese inven-
tor, Is to dry the plant, boil 1t in lyo
for two hours and cool slowly. Wash
ing it in water then separates most Of
the coverings. and the rest comes off
when 1t Is soaked in water containing
lice bran and brought to the boiling
point. The resulting fber. after rims
ing, resembles cotton, and IS ready for
use. The grass is harvested in the
fall and the fiber can be prepared by
fishermen. It is expected to have
marked effect on the price of cheap
clothing, and to improve the durability
Of fishing nets.
