fury was a very simple affair, which
could be completely mastered by a
%schoolboy with a few minutes study.
The most reliable map pictured a
little fiat world Of three continents,
Europe, Asia and Africa. On it's face
appears the various kinds Of creatures,
human, animal and semi-human, which
were believed to inhabit the remote
regions Of the earth. The holy city
Of Jerusalem is placed in the exact
center, and at the extreme east is the
Garden Of Paradise, represented by
an apple tree, Adam and Eve and the

The earth itself is bounded on the

man whose face appears to be on his

Experiments by poultry specialists
at the state agricultural colleges with
artificial lighting to promote egg pro
duction during the short days have
been most interesting. It now has
been proven that artificial lights, prin-
cipally electric, that = turned on
early In the morning, will double win
ter egg production, providing, Of
course, the hens do not utilize all their
feed to promote warmth. After the
hens have gone to r0ost at night, their
morning feed Is scattered In the litter.
Then when the lights are turned on,
usually about 4 a. M, they get Off the
perch, are forced to take exercise to
get their breakfasts and are kept In

esting work and can be made very
profitable now that poultry products
are high and feed costs low. With

SNOW HOUSE NEEDS CARE
Constant Changes Necessary in Roof
to Keep interior Heat as
It Should Be.

The Eskimo makes constant changes
in the thickness of the roof Of his
snow house, or igloo, to keep its in
terror heat uniform.
Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the Arctic .ex-
plorer, tells about a nOw hut built
at so degrees below zero. Each block
of snow used in It's construction was
necessarily Of the same temperature
and contained what might be wrongly
termed a great deal of latent cold"
To neutralize this cold It was neces-
sary to keep the inside of the hut for
q considerable time at a temperature
of 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
Snow is so nearly a n~on-conductor
of heat that, once the-"latent cold"
had been neutralized, the heat Of hui
bodies alone kept the tempera-
ture well above the freezing point,
even when 3 hole IN the roof was open
for ventilation. Sometimes when the
heat rose too high the roof would be-
gin to melt. Then the roof had to
be shaved on the outside anywhere
from two to four inches thinner SO
that the cold from the outside would
penetrate the snow blocks.

Chestnuts.

An oldsWriter says that horse-chest-
nuts are SO called because people in
the East countries do with the fruit
thereof cure their horses Of the cough,
shortness Of breath, and such-like dis
cases. It is always q temptation to
seek for an ingenious explanation
when there Is a simple one at hand,
but the fact is that the horse-chestnut
has no connection whatever with the
horse. The word ''horse," as used not
only in horse-chestnut, but also in
horse-laugh, horse-play, horse-radish.
and horse-mint, is the same word as
goose the common name Of the
rough, prickly shrub Of u commons.
The horse-chestnut deserves It's prefix
doubly, for when inclosed in it's burr
it is a prickly thing to handle, and
its kernel is acid and unpleasant to
the taste. Similarly, the h~orse-radish
is a pungent tuber and the horse-mint
a pungent mint. Horse-play is rough,
uncouth play, and a h%orse-laugh is a
vulgar, boisterous guffaw.

CLEANING MILKING MACHINES
Suggestions Prepared by Dr.. A. r
Hanna FOR California Department
Of Agriculture.

The following suggestions for clean
ing milking machines were prepared
by DR.. A. F. Hanna, field veterinarian
for the California department Of agrt-
culture:
1. When through milking run warm
water through tubes.
2. Thoroughly brush with hot water
and washing compound all parts with
which the milk comes in contact.
9.-Place tubes, etc.. in water which
has reached the boiling point and per-
NIT them to remain therein for 80 to
60 minutes. Do not resort to further
boiling.
r 4. Place tubes, ETC., in brine and
chloride Of lime solution and drain
three to five minutes before the next
milking period. They will then be
ready for use.
Small top pals are used for strip
ping the cows.
The four main points Il, 2, 8 and a,
are observed daily in the morning, and
only the third point is omitted in tho
evening.

EARLY HISTORY OF DETROIT
Interesting New to Read OF Ferts
Erected ter Protection sf Oil.
ems Against Indians. MI

For nearly twenty years following
the American occupation OF Detroit
In 1895 the Indians Of the Saginaw
valley harassed the citizens by threat
ening attacks upon the town, and by
stealing their cattle from the public
common through which Washington
boulevard was afterWard surveyed.
Fort Shelby. which then conferred
about the present site of the post
Office, did not intimidate the Indians
from invasions Of the common, so. a
circular earthwork fort was construct.
ed just east of where High and Park
boulevard now converge for add.
tional protection. The work was per.
formed by soldiers from the fort dur.
ing the year 1907.
When finished this fort inclosed a
circular space Of half an acre. The
walls were ten feet high, with an In
side parapet half way up. It was sur.
rounded by a broad ditch about six
feet deep. which the swampy ground
kept filled with water. For several.
years a small detail Of soldiers went
out from Fort Shelby to this post to
stand guard against cattle thieves,
but nothing ever happened. so the in.
habitants called it Fort Nonsense.
Years later Rev. George Dufield,
d. D., bought the land and built his
residence on the Woodward avenue
front. Streets were laid out on each
side Of this lot. That on the south
side was named George street and
that on the North, Duf1eld street. The
old fort was RACED and graded level.
For some reason George street vas
renamed High street.-Detroit News.

Fats and Fat Foods.

First of all, the ~housekeeper who
consults this list Of foods will prob
ably wish to know why these foods
were selected and what their signif-
canoe is. Everyone knows that food
contains fuel for the human machine.
The fuel need for the average family
described above has been estimator
as 800 hundred-calorie portions per
week.
In order that the diet should pro-
vide what is needed to maintain
health, one-ffth Of this needed fuel
should come from vegetables and
fruits, one-fifth from milk, meat, eggs,
and other eficient-protein foods, three
tenths from cereals, 0ne-tenth from
sweets, and one-ifth from fats. This
proportion has been maintained In the
above lists, for 100 hundred-calorie
portions are supplied by fruits and
vegetables; 160 hundred-ca1orfe por-
lions by the eficient-protein foods;
240 hundred-cal0rie portions by the
cereal foods; 80 hundred-calorie por-
lions by the sweets ; and 100 hundred
calorie portions by the fats.
If a housekeeper does not wish to
use just these foods in just these
amounts, and wonders how the lists
can he altered without interfering
with the good proportions, she a
consult a table at the back Of the
bulletin which gives practically all
the common food materials divided
into the five classes mentioned and
which shows the number Of hundred
calorie portions per peck, per pound,
Or per quart as the case may demand.
It should, therefore, be al easy mat
ter to make up other lists having the
same proportions as the one given
above.
Many families will be different from
the average family here described,
but reference to q table given in the
bulletin will make it possible to esti-
mate the. number Of hundred-calorie
portions needed by any group Of per-

ITO THE quaint old town Of Nod-a-

Out there In the Shutdown West;
just over the crest OF Slumber Hill,
Where the evening shades lie cool and
still,
And the birds have gone to rest
To a quaint old house on Quiet Street,
Deep shaded by Sleepy Tree,
While the signing breeze sings low and
sweet
My babies three-with me.
Dick-e-Dum marches with air sedate,
And Margy-ree-half-past two
Waddles along with a ~queer-toed gait,
Worried for fear that she may be late,
And the dark blot out the view.

So she rides a knee the journey

And the only comment she makes is

On the way to Nod-a-Ville.
In the quaint old house they softly
creep
AS the sun sinks in the west;
And kneeling there In the silence deep
They whisper their "lay me down to
Sleep"
And in Gods strong arms rest.
O, Nod-a-Ville! Through all the night
May angels watch DER thee;
And when the morning has dawned
clear, bright
Send back their faces rosy alight

SELECTION OF DAIRY HElFER
Head 10 Excellent Index to Breeding,
Quality and Value Of Animal
Other Points.

A great amount Of information can
be obtained from q study Of the head
of the heifer calf. The head Is an ex'
cellent index to the breeding, quality
and value Of the animal. The eye
should be large, bright, clear, indicat-
ing good health; the face should be
medium in length, free from freshness,
showing an expression which the true
dairyman cannot refrain from calling
sweet; the nostrils large and well
dilated to allow for the entrance Of
plenty of air; the muzzle large and
broad. indicating a good feeder, and
the jaw should be strong.
The constitution q be judged in
part by standing in front Of the heifer
calf. We do not like a calf that stands
with the front legs close together. This
is an indication Of poor constitution.
The legs should be straight and wide
apart, making room for a wide chest
floor.
The calf should be examined next
from the side. The neck should be
neat, slim and medium in length. A
short, thick neck is desired on the beef
animal, but upon the dairy animal
1t is never associated with good dairy
type or high milk production. The
neck should blend neatly into the
shoulder which should be rather spare
in flesh and come to q point at the
withers. .
