PUPPY AND THE FOWL

THE Barnyard Fowl lived very
comfortable with old Towser,
but when Jack Puppy came
there to live they found out they knew
nothing about dogs.
Il thought all dogs were good" said
old Brown Hen, looking after her bit
of bread which Jack had stolen and
run off with. Il wish l could catch
him and give him a sharp peck"
"He tipped over my dish of mush
this morning and then rolled in it"
said Nine. Duck, with q snap of her
big bill. HE could not eat that either,
and my little ones had no breakfast"
At last the ducks and hens could
stand it no longer and then went to
old Towser and told their troubles.
''You must help u.s." said old Brown
Hen. II should think you would be
tired of having him snatch your food,
too. l saw him run off with a bone
you were eating the other day.
"What is the matter with you, Tow
ser? You would have chased another
dog and shaken him"
"Oh, Jack, is young" said Towser.
II don't mind him, and you know,
Mrs. Brown Hen, we dogs must have
our day; besides that, was young
once myself and had to sow my wild
oats, just like Jack is sowing now"
at is plain we must take matters
into our own hands" said old Brown
Hen. "Towser will not help us, so we
better call a meeting and see what
can be DONE"
That afternoon under the currant
bushes at the end Of the garden all
the hens and ducks and Mr. Rooster
held meeting.
Jack Puppy ran all around the
barnyard trying to find them, and
when at last they returned he ran al
them barking and jumping. snake

A pet theory of Rex Ingram, pro-
Queer of "The Four Horsemen Of the
Apocalypse" and 1.-THE COnquering
Power" is that motion pictures will in
time virtually supplant oral instruc.
tion in the schools. He believes that
the eye impressions work more pow
erfully on the brain than those Of
things heard.
A test of the theory, it is said, was
made recently in Detroit, where a
school class was divided into two
groups of equal intelligence. One
group had a motion picture lesson
no explanation was given by teacher.
The lesson lasted IS minutes. The
other group received oral instruction
from a teacher for 90 minutes. Then
each group was tested on the lesson.
The average grade of the motion pic
ture group was 3.26 per cent higher
than that Of the oral group.

MAKING FEED FROM SAWDUST
Wisconsin Cows Keeping Up Weight
and Milk Yield and Show No III
Effects From Diet.

Hydrolized sawdust as a part of
ration for cows is apparently giving
satisfactory results in Wisconsin. The
forest service of the United States
Department of Agriculture reports
that cows at the agricultural college
of that state are doing as well on a
ration consisting of One-third sawdust
as they did when their feed was only
one-fourth wood meal. That is to say,
they are keeping up their weight and
their milk production and show no Ill
effects from the diet.
The bureau of animal industry is
considering the proposal Of the forest
service laboratory to start feeding
trials with dairy animals in which
the wood product win form a part Of
the ration and the tests will extend
for an entire year at least. The hyrO-
lized-wOod feed for these cows will
be made at the laboratory. So far
ali the stock feed has been made from
white-pine sawdust. Other soft woods.
particularly the western species, will
be tried in the 6uture.

HELP WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS
Farmers in Vicinity Of Grove City
Pa, Sign Requests to Have
Herds Tested.

The community at Grove City, Pa,
where the dairy division of the United
States Department of Agriculture is
carrying on community extension
work, is active in tuberculosis eradica-
ton. The owners of several hundred
herds signed requests to have their
herds tested and accredited; in fact 1t
appears that practically all the patrons
of the Grove City creamery soon will
have their animals tested. This work
originated with the bull associations
operating in that vicinity; but it now
extends throughout the county, and
even to the two adjoining counties.
An interesting feature Of the situa-
ton is the springing up of the Grove
City Accredited-Dairy-C Cattle Show
and Sales association, composed Of
owners Of accredited herds who wish
to take advantage of the fact that all
their herds are clean, to cooperate In
improvement, and sell all their stock
on that basis. One member who has
a clean herd says that after his herd
was tested he sold some cows for $500
each, which, previously, he would have
parted with for half that amount. He
had actually offered them for $3.50
prior to the test.

quired for maintenance, and two or
three times the total nutriment. The
milk yield in the subsequent lactation
period may sometimes be doubled by
this treatment. The results Of the ex-
periments are given in Bulletin 945,
1.-The Influence of Calcium and Phos-
phOrus in the Food on the Milk Yield
Of Dairy Cows"
In the case Of cows of which the
milk yield has been reduced by sew
eral years standard feeding, as fol-
lowed at Beltsville, a greatly increased
yield can be brought about by feeding
"alternated rations with phosphate
during the dry period. This is taken
to mean that the ordinary rations are
more likely to be deficient in one OIL
both of the principal BODYBUILDING
elements than in any other constitu.
ent.

at the Right Time

and put things to rights in the living
room, and light tho lights and do the
dozen of last-minute things that ought
to have been done in the last hour
not in the last minute.
Most of us have been in some such
predicament, and, remembering this,
it beboOves us to remember to go
home before we have worn out our
welcome.
This is just one Of the occasions
when a guest should make an early de-
parture There are many others.
A caller on a sick person should al
ways make a short call, unless by
staying for a longer, specified time,
she can relieve the nurse.
When guests are expected, a caller
should always take her departure
promptly. If unexpected callers ar
rive, the first Corners should go be-
fore many minutes have passed.
If there is illness in the house, a
caller should not keep the members
of the household very long. Even If
they are not bearing the duties of
nurse, they probably have many calls
on their time.
If your hostess is going out later in
the afternOon-if you have found out
this to be the case In some chance
manner-yOu should not keep her in
even if she protests that she is in nc
hurry.
Put yourself in the place of the
hostess on all occasions when you
are wondering whether or not it is
time to go home.

THE toy zoetrope was the grand
father of the mOtion-picture ma
chine of today. The oldest in
ventiOn was one of these toys, patent
ed by w. E. Lincoln, 1867. In 1859
o. B. Brown patented machine which
projected moving pictures" from a
series Of glass plates. Muybridge, in
1880, also produced a glass-plate ma
chine. NJ. Marcy, of the French in
stitute, first used the continuous film,
and Lumiere, in 1893, invented the
"Cinematograph." The first real ma
chine came to America in 1894, and
one Edward Hadley is supposed to
have the honor of being the first mo-
tion-picture operator in America.

use of differ with" there is a
lear distinction, although 1t is for
gotten frequently, even by some writer's
and speakers who are careful in the
Use Of words.
For person to differ from another,
or for a thing to differ from another,
he or it must be unlike, in appearance,
in manner, Or in some other character
stic, while to differ with a person
means to disagree with him in opin.
ion or belief. It follows, therefore,
hat, while a thing may differ from
mother, it cannot differ with another,
since only thinking beings can have
a difference in belief or opinion. For

would be time to put the meat in the

go on. You must in the meantime

the clock, realizing that she could not
stay long enough to harm your din

At five you began to be nervous,
thinking of the things yet to be done.
At half-past five, making some excuse
about hearing knock at the kitchen

Feeding cows for several years, ac-
cording to the commonly accepted
standard with little or no additional
pasture, reduced the milk yield much
below the optimum, it was found by
experiments at the government farm
at Beltsviue, Md. This condition may
be corrected by giving the animal a
dry period of two months, and feeding
during that period a ration containing
legume hay and grain with a high
phosphorus content, with three or
four times the amount of protein re-

"He wont bother us any more," said
old Brown Hen. "DOn't one of you

It was just as old Brown Hen said.

 Unemployment at the beginning of August was greater than at the beginning of January, charity workers declare. A conservative estimate is that more than 15OOOO wage earners are out of jobs Many thousands are working part time
 During the summer idle men are sleeping in parks and securing susten- ance from charitable organizations, but IS winter approaches sleeping quarters must be provided and large sums will be aeeded to provide food, unless thous- ands are to go down from starvation.
 The situation, it is stated, is giving charitable organizations a great deal of concern. With their present resources taxed to the limit, they scarcely realize what shall be done when the rigors oi winter make more acute a situation that is already desperate
