ORIGIN OF COATS OF ARMS
Were Necessary a. Q Symbol When
Reading Was Practically an un-
known Accomplishment.

The Idea Of coats Of arms, by which
old families are distinguished, origi-
mated In the time when each section Of
country was controlled by chief or
lord, who was In sense responsible
for all the people In the territory. They
fought for him In battle, and he pro-
tected them and assumed responsible
ity Of providing them with food and
shelter. During attacks by the enemy
the people gathered within the walls Of
the castle with him and defended 1t.
Sometimes the fight was In the open,
and number Of chiefs and their peo-
pie made common warfare ON others.
The lords led their people In battle In
those days. As the common soldier
could not read, each leader carried a
banner on which various designs and
figures were painted. People could
understand pictures before they could
read. These designs included figures
Of the lion, lily, dragon or any other
design picked out by the lord. Often
the design for the banner was selected
because Of some incident In the history
Of the family. The banner enabled the
common soldier to keep near his chief.
For the same reasons the design was
put on the outside garments 30 that
the soldier would know when he met
someone Of a superior rank, and In
that way the leader became the repre-
sentative Of the particular aign or
crest.
The practice Of displaying the family
coat of arms or crest today II pre-
served by some families as q mark Of
their descent from one Of the lords OF
chiefs who were the little kings OF
their day.

JUMPING BEANS FOR GIRLS
Sick and Wounded Veterans In New
Mexico HospitaIs Are Hungry
for Cheer Letters.

Trained to leap through hoops and
stand unhitched. thousands Of genuine
Mexican jumping beans are awaiting
girls Of the United States who will
write little letter Of cheer to dis
abled soldier. The exchange Of letters
for jumping beans Is being made
through Herman @. Baca, Santa Fe.
N. NJ, adjutant Of the American Le-
gi0n Of the state.
Five thousand sick and wounded
veterans Of the World war, recuperat-
Ing In hospitals In New Mexico, have
trained the beans. The young men
are terribly lonesome. Mr.. Bacs writes
and they will send bean to every
girl who will write a letter to them.
The jumping beans are dark brown
somewhat larger than the ordinary
bean. Tie animation of the vegetable
is caused by tiny worm that crawli
into the bean and consumes the edible
portion. After the worm Is dead, tbs
bean keeps on jumping.

Prepared by the United States Department

Although there Is higher percent.
age OF purebred hogs In the country
than Of any other class Of live stock,
there is still much room for improve
ment. And there Is much to be known
concerning the relative merits Of
scrubs, crossbreds and purebreds. To
make some OF the points clearer the
animal husbandry division OF the
United States Department Of Agricul.
ture Is starting breeding and feed.
Ing experiment that will contrast the
results of using scrub. crossbred and

boars on purebred sows will be

Ten crossbred sows. OF various
breed mixtures, and ten scrub sows Of
the razorback kind will be used. Half
Of each OF those groups will be bred
to a purebred boar; half Of the first

half Of the other group will be bred to

Ing will be carried on from generation
to generation. Some Of the offspring
will be fed out and some of them will
be kept for breeding before being fed
out. Shoats from the different lots
will be put In feed lots together and
fed alike so that fair comparison can
be made. Some Of these scrubs and
crossbreds will be compared In feeding
trials with purebreds raised on the de.
partment's experimental farm at Belts
vile, Nd Some will be put into diff.
ferent experimental lots on various
feeds.
Nearly everybody thinks the pure
bred Is superior to the scrub. but there
is disagreement among farmers about
the merits Of purebred and crossbred
feeders. The department hopes that
in due time Its experiments will give
results that will answer any doubts.

Breeders Recognize Value Of Name.
In England many farms have borne
distinctive names for years, which
have become famous In connection
with various products This has been
especially true In the case Of certain
breeders Of cattle. The name Of the
farm passes current among cattle
breeders as sort Of guaranty that
animals from that farm are ali that

coming into vogue In this country.

the registration of farm names with

In that state Is allowed to use the
name. This is merely for use within
that particular state. The United
