Keeping Water Cool.

The only way to keep water cool
is to surround 1t with some mate
rial that is a bad conductor OF heat,
or In other words, does not pass on
the heat too rapidly. The poorest
conductor Of heat is vacuum or space
from which the air has been excluded (;
hence. q thermos or vacuum flask
makes the best container for cold wa

wood, leather, felt, horn, bone; con-
tainers made Of or covered with these
materials will keep liquids cooler than

"Sure, it was Enright; 1 saw him

was Lacy's gang; they'd do whatever

He pointed up the stream. and Bren-

careful to keep well under cover, conf
dent that any movement would be
observed from the shore. He gazed
for some time before he seemed en-
tirely satisfied.

Westcott told it simply, but in full
detail. The marshal listened quietly
TO the narrative, the quick action of
his jaws alone evidencing his interest,
although he occasionally interposed a
question. Except for Westcott's voice
there was no sound, beyond the lap
ping of water against the rock, and
no figures of men became visible along
either bank. The party above had
crossed the stream, and disappeared
up ravine, and nothing remained to
indicate that these two were fugitives,
hiding for their lives, and facing a
eXpedient in an effort to es-
cape their pursuers. As the speaker
finally concluded the silence was al |

How much skim milk should be fed

When fed comparatively large quanti-
lies Of skim milk daily (one-fifth Of
their body weight or all they will

gains are made on smaller quantities.
In an experiment to determine the
erect OF feeding various quantities Of
skim milk, 16 calves were divided into
groups of four calves each. These
groups were balanced as nearly as pos
sible with reference to breed and body
weight at birth. One group was given

body weight, the quantity being regu-
lated by body weights taken every ten
DAYS. Two other groups were fed at
the rate of One-SiXth and One-fifth Of
their body weights; and the fourth
group was given all the milk the calves
would drink, twice day.
Each calf received it's mothers milk
