Fishermen Melted Submarine.

Some fishermen out in their boats
near Hyeres made catch that nearly
ended one boat load, reports the Lon
don Times correspondent at Paris
They caught a submarine in one of
their nets. The boat to which the net
was attached was in danger of being
drawn under the water by an unseen
and unknown monster, and, though
frantic efforts We're made to free the
boat by cutting the net away, 1t might
have gone badly with the crew if the
commander of the submarine, wonder
ing what he had run into, had not
brought his vessel to the surface. The
boat was almost completely swamped
by the sudden rise of the submarine,
which had to rescue the crew and tow
the boat into port.

Mr.. JONES WALKED RIGHT BY
Little Incident May Have Cured Him
of Habit of Loafing in That
Grocery Store.

Mr.. Jones (Which is not his true
name) enjoys, above all else, an OPP
pOrtunity to loaf at the corner gro
Gerry. Just to sit on the counter and
think and talk while his wife is hard
at work at home and the grocer and
his clerk are hard at work In the
store Is to Jones privilege well
worth while.
But Mrs. Jones and the grocer
thought differently. In fact the gro
Ger disapproves emphatically of any
person just sitting when he should
be working. One morning the grocer
conceived brilliant idea. Just as
Mr.. Jones was about to leap lightly
to his seat on the counter the grocer
slyly placed sheet of fly paper, black
with flies, on the spot where Mr.
Jones was to land.
Mr.. Jones did not discover the fly
paper until he politely slid from the
counter in order to greet with his
best bow neighbor woman. 1t is
said he left the store thereon with
such speed that the wind detached
the fly paper from It's place on the
seat of his trousers. When next seen
Jones wore his Sunday best and he
walked right by the grocery store

MISSOURI DAIRY cow FEEDS
Recommended That Animal Be Fed
All Alfalfa or Glover Hay She
Will Consume.

In making up a ration for dairy
cows the Missouri College of Agricul-
ture recommends that cows be fed all
the alfalfa or clover hay they will
readily consume. and to feed corn
silage when available.
To this should be added grain mix
ture IL good results are to follow.
A grain mixture often recommended
is four parts, by weight, of corn chops
two parts wheat bran and one part
either cottonseed or linseed meal. This
mixture is to be fed according to the
quantity of milk produced.
One pound of the mixture is suffi-
cient for every four pounds of milk
produced by a Holstein COW or for
every three pounds produced by Jer.
sey.
II is not a bad plan, in the above ra-
tion, to mix the cottonseed and linseed
meal half and half instead of using
one alone.
