Mother Bear, like all Bears, is very
fond of ants. The triplets were feel
very full of life that morning and
were as lively as only three little cubs
can be. They chased each other
about in the branches Of that big
hemlock tree, and did their best to
knock each other off.
Now. 1t happened that Boxer came
along that way shortly after the
cubs had been sent up in that three.
He had nothing in particular on his
mind. He was just roaming about.
He was startled by noise off at
one side. Instantly he stopped to
listen. There was great thrashing
about among the branches of a GER
tain big tree. Now and then there
was the swapping of broken twigs
and dead branches.
Boxer became curious Very care
fully and silently he stole forward
until he could see up in that tree
clearly. Three funny little black
forms were scrambling about up in
that tree. They were having no end
of fun. Boxer recognized them at
once. They were the three little cubs
whom he had almost forgotten.
Boxer sat down and watched them,
and as he watched some, of his old
anger and jealousy returned.

satisfied, he is off about his own very

The occupations of ordinary bird life
are not sufficient for these energetic
wrens, and they amuse themselves with
building superfuouS nests, sometimes
half dozen that are never used. The
nest is very artistic, shaped like a ball,
the entrance a hole at one side. 1t is

swamp grass. The nest that is to be
the home is better finished than the
others, and stuffed nearly full of soft
bits of leaves, fine grasses and plant

Marsh wrens raise large families,
often eight or nine little wrenkins
crowding the grassy nest. The eggs
are so thickly speckled that they are Of
a nearly uniform brown color. The food
of these wrens is water spiders, water
beetles and other aquatic insects.

ORDINARILY BEST TO
MARKET POULTRY ALIVE

Brookings, S D., Oct. 11.-Market-
ing the poultry in live form is sug-
gested by State college specialists as
The most satisfactory method for
South EakOta pouItrymen to puIue,
unless the distance is so great as to
make the shipping cost prohibitive.
Poultry may be marketed both in live
and dressed form, but the skill le-

XII.
Most poultry raisers do not have
the necessary skill to feed ou' kill
and pick the birds in a way to bring
he highest market price The lower
quality Of the product is very apt to
more than offset the lower shipping
cost and the feeders profit. Also,
there is more danger of improper
handling and spoilage in transit.
In western South Dakota, where
distances are almost too great for
practical shipment of live poultry, it
is suggested that certain individuals
in each community might well equip
themselves with the knowledge of
how to kill and pick poultry, and thus
handle on a salary or commission
basis their own and their neighbors'
poultry.
Poultry to be shipped in the live
form should always be fattened be-
fore killing This means better quail
ty, more weight, and a considerably
higher price per pound. Poor and I'M
derfed poultry is hard to keep with
out spelling, and if kept long it de-
teriorates greatly in appearance. The
market is usually uverstocked with
poor poultry nd understocked with
first class birds. Ali poultry. whether
marketed dressed or alive, should be
shut up in pens and fed from ten days
to two weeks or more before ship
ment.

STANDING WATER DOES NOT

BY Ralph l.. Patty
Extension Engineer, State College
Water standing in, ponds, marshes
and lakes does not affect the lccal
rainfall. IL is easy to think that it
might, on first consideration, and
many persons hold this belief, but the
records and figures SHOW the o IN
trary. The idea can easily be dis
proved by a little figuring.
Taking South Dakota. for instance,
with an annual rainfall of twenty to
thirty inches, The state has only
500 square miles of open water stand
ing on the surface. The total area
of the state Is 76,S6S square miles.
There is, then, less than1-153 of the

average evapol ation from these
ponds and lakes is a little less than
80 inches. IT. every bit of this water

But, as a matter of fact, probably
not more than one-fourth of ii ever

Weekly Service Hints Furnished by
State College Specialists OF
BrOOkings

Materials for Fall WardrObc-In
selecting the new fall wardrobe it
must be remembered that materials
play a very important part in the eff
.fectiveness of the finished garment.
Especially the woman who i~nclines
toward ~stoutness should select with
great care the fabrics for her cos
tunes.
Shiny materials reflect the light and
give appearance Of rCundness. For
instance, a satin or velvet dress will
make a woman seem larger than a
crepe dress of the same color.
Materials which are soft in texture
fall in graceful veI teal folds and
make one look more slender than
when stiff fabrics are used. Crepe
and wolfe make n appear more slen-
der, while taffeta and organdy pro-
duce a broader silhouette.
A coarse weave i'm fabrics also in
crease the apparent size, as do woody
and rough surfaces. Large patterns
in dress goods attract attention. TO
the size of the wearer, so stout peu-
pie should use plain and small fig
urcd materials.
Sanitation Facts-Pure air is one
of the essentials to 'i2alth. Stoves
kerosene and gas lamps consume
large quantities Of oxygen andgive
off carbon dioxide. Therefore, when
these are used special provision
should be made for ventilation.
If no provision IL made for venti-
lation the windows should be lowered
and the house aired at least twice
during the day and before going to
bed. Bedroom windows should be
open at night. Rooms should b> Kept
clean and dust removed, not scattered.
