than that, this class had every week
a twO-hOur session in the botanical

plants was studied under microscopic
dissection. The students worked in
pairs, a special family of plants being
assigned TO each couple; and the In

eye to combinations Of the quick with

Thencefortn it became the most
pressing care Of Ramsey's life to pre-
vent his roommate from learning that
there was any conversation at all,
even botanical. Fortunately, Fred
was not taking the biological courses,
though he appeared to be taking the
sentimental ones with an astonishing
thoroughness. and sometimes, to Fred's
hilarious delight, Ramsey attempted TO
turn the tables and rally him upon
whatever last affair seemed to be en-
gaging his fancy. The old Victorian

Origin Of the Word "Cop."

The word "cop" originated In Lon
don, being derived from the three
initials of constable of police" This
interesting bit Of information comes
from Police Commissioner Enright of
New York City.
Chief Enright's theory Of how the
word "cOp" came into being has expe-
rience, precedent and probability to
back it. 1t has experience, because
Commissioner Enright is conversant
with police affairs. 1t has precedent
because when the words of a phrase
happen to have initials which, taken
together, can be pronounced in one
syllable, there is tendency to lump
them in one, and so form new word.
1t has probability because the ETY.
mology suggested is simple and nat
ural. "Cop' is an abbreviation which
any English-speaking public would like
to make of constable of police"
Nobody knows all about word until
he has looked up its origin. To dc
that is one of the best of helps toward
fixing the meaning Of words much
longer and far less familiar than "cop'

FEEDING PIGEONS IN LOFTS
Most Popular Method is to Have
Stated Hours for Placing Grain
Supply In Troughs.

Self-feeding hoppers are seldom
found nowadays in the lofts Of veteran
pigeon breeders. Their argument Is
that they have not found it profitable
to have several days supply Of grain
within reach so the birds may help
themselves at will. There are two
reasons for this: First, inferior
squads are raised in lofts where feed
is constantly before the birds, as there
is no regularity among the breeding
pigeons in feeding their young; sec.
ond, this continual picking at the
grain eventually leads to poor appe-
titles, resulting In the squobs suffer
ing.
Another disadvantage In having
feed lying around, is that 1t attracts
mice and even rats, and when once
these enemies get in q loft there Is
great loss Of young birds.
The most popular method for feed
ing Is to have stated hours for plac-
ing the grain In the troughs. These
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1922-10-05

troughs are placed in the center Of the
floor, so that there will be plenty Of
room for all the birds to gather
around it. Galvanized iron drinking
vessels are preferred to stone foun-
tains.
There are three open boxes in each
loft, measuring II inches in length,
three inches in width, and three inches
in depth, and these boxes contain
oyster-shell, grit and charcoal.
A bathtub is placed in the aviary Of
each pen. These are made Of galvan-
lied iron and of convenient size for
handling. During the winter the
birds are given q bath about once q
week, but only on bright clear days.
In summer it may be given twice
week. These pans are filed about
eleven o'clock in the morning and al
lowed to remain for about two hours,
when they are emptied and turned
upside down. If the water is not emp
tied shortly after the birds are
through bathing, they may drink Of 1t
and become sick.

know how to use just suggestion of
flavoring where it adds greatly to the
effect Of a dish but almost defles de-

flavor milk soup or sauce with onion

be cooked with the milk few minutes
