Police of Oshkosh and the owners
of the Neuenfeld frog farm believe
that loss by theft of many choice
"hoppers" will stop with the arrest of
Frank and John Metko, Oshkosh
youths. Employees of the place stood
guard with shotguns at night, and
when the Metko boys had scaled the
fence and were within reach of the
supply of frogs, they were taken in
charge. They entered pleas of guilty
to charges of vagrancy and were SEN
fenced to pay fines of $25 and costs
or spend 30 DAVIS in iaiI.

NATIONAL GOAT FARM
HELPS SICK BABIES
Produces Milk Worth
Double Cows Product.

Washington -The surroundings of
Washington lack the cozy chalets, the
snow crowned mountains and the ro-
bust Alpine climbers and singers that
are infallible as guide posts in intro
ducing the traveller to the heart of
Switzerland, but the neighborhood Of
the national capital boasts one typical
ly Swiss earmark--it is the Beltsville
mich goat herd owned and operated
by Uncle Sam and one of the best
Tom Thumb dairy projects of its kind
In the country.
Washington has benefited markedly
as the result Of Uncle Sans entrance
into the goat-raising business some
sixteen years ago, remarks the Wash
ington Star, for much of the nutri-
tious and easily digestible goats milk
produced at the national farm, about
sixteen miles from the White House,
has been used in cooperative research
at the diet kitchen and Georgetown
university hospital for the treatment
Of puny infants and invalids suffering
from malnutrition.
Disciples of Sanitation.
The plutocratic milking goat is the
exact antithesis of the ordinary tin
can alley goat. The blue blooded goats
are disciples of sanitation. They viii
eat nothing but clean and pure food.
They require sanitary stables and
yards. Personally, they keep their
shaggy oyercoats as spotless and i'm
maculate as those of the most partic-
ular "tabbies" of the feline world.
The government goat farm features
a herd Of 40 grade and pure bred Tog-
genburg and Saanen mich goats Of all
sizes and ages.
The average mich doe weighs be-
tween 10 and 115 pounds, yet despite
her diminutive size she produces from
seven to ten times her weight in nu-
tritious milk each year. The average
mich doe in the Beltsyille herd pro-
duces from 3.5 to quarts of milk
daily during the peak production of her
nine months annual milking period.
The best doe In the herd has a record
production of 1927 pounds of milk and
So pounds of butterfat for one lacta-
ton period, while the average output
Of the entire herd of "a mich does is
well over the 900-pound milk-produc-
.-~ mark.

tlVkA
Under present conditions 1t costs
about 10 cents day to feed the lili-
putian cows their regular rations of
alfalfa and clover hay and their grain
allowances of cracked corn, oats, bran
and oil meal During the grazing sea-
son grass and browse supplant the hay
in the goat bill of fare In the major
ity Of municipal markets where goats
milk is available its price is double
that of the best cows milk In New
York city goats milk has sold for as
. much as so cents quart The pc
GUITAR mechanical composition of
goats milk makes this food ideally
adapted for the feeding of invalids
and sicl1ly infants. The supposition
is that the increased digestibiIity of
this fluid obtains from the very uni
form distribution of the fat globules.
Chemical Tests.
Many chemical tests have demon
strated that the average fat content
of goats milk ranges from 80 to "A
per cent. Relatively speaking, there
is no marked difference between the
milk of the goat and that of the COW
except the more uniform distribution
of the fat particles in the former.
Goats milk is eminently suitable for
practically all the purposes to which
cows milk is put except for making
butter.
Overseas, large quantities of goats
milk cheese is manufactured annually.
Unless artifcially colored, the butter
made from goats milk is very white
and resembles lard in appearance.
Tests made at Beltsville, however,
have proved irrefutably that a good
quality of butter can be produced
when the goats milk and cream are
properly handled.
The Beltsyllle herd of goats was es-.
tablished in 1908 when the Initial at
tempts were made to cross 30 common
brush goats brought to Washington
from Alabama with pure bred goats
from Switzerland. The breeding ex-
periments have been continued until
now most Of the goats in the govern
ment herd are at least seven-eighths
pure while some of them are 81-32
pure bred.
The national researches in goat fam
fly Improvement at Beltsyille demon
trate that native American goats can
be readily improved by intermingling
their blood lines with those of the
aristocratic mich goats Of foreign an
cestry.
Unquestionably in the vicinity of
every large city in America today
there are attractive opportunities
awaiting the initiative and energy of
goat dairymen who will establish
profitable herds and embark In the
special goats milk business.

CHEAP FENCE PosTs.
The Hardy Catalpa One of the Best
Trees. That Can Be Raised
for the Purnose

IOE lne purpose
The Iowa Agricultural College has
issued in Bulletin No. 100 the results
of experiments and careful observa-
ton Of the hardy catalpa in that state.
Every farmer has more or less need
Of fence posts, and will therefore de-
rive practical benefit from this bulle-
tin. Following is a summary of the
results:
l. The hardy catalpa is one of the
best fence post trees that can be
grown in Iowa.
2. Eighteen-year old trees that have
been properly cared for will yield
from 1000 to $500 posts to the acre.
The gross annual return an acre on
the Iowa plantations studied varied
from $1077 to $20.S4.
3. Catalpa posts rank next to Usage
orange and red cedar in durability.
provided that they are cut before they
become infected with fungi and are
properly seasoned
4. Cataipa should be cut by the time
they are eighteen or twenty years old.
If left longer they are liable to be-
come infected with a fungus which in
a short time makes them worthless.
5. Catalpas do not make satisfac-
tory poles, as they are not large
enough by the time they must be cut.
Another objection to catalpa for pole
production is that the trunks never
grow exactly straight.
6. The hardy catalpa is the only
species that can be grown successful
ly in Iowa. The common cataIpa,
which has sometimes been substitute
ed for it with unsatisfactory results.
can be distinguished from the hardy
species by differences in the bark
and seeds.
Z. Catalpa seed should be sown
as the danger of frost is past. Sow in
broad burrows at the rate of thirty
five or forty seeds to the foot, ana
cover one-half inch deep.

SUGGESTIONS

Prepared marshmallow filling for
use in sauces and icings may be
purchased at your grocers. It may
also be made at home at less ex-
pense by heating one cup of sugar
With one-third cup of water until
it spins a thread. Add one tea
spoon of graduated gelatine which
has been dissolved in cold water
and stir the syrup into the stifiy
beaten whites of two eggs. This
sauce may be kept on hand and
heated slightly by placing in can
of hot water and beaten to the de-
sired thickness when ready to use.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT RUG

Are you thinking of buying a
new rug for your living or other
room? Then take good look
several, in facial your other
furniture. See what will best
harmonic with it-bring out its
best points. For a small room
small patterned rugs or plain
ones are best. Possibly you are
bride and have hao rug
given you for a wedding present.
Keep it in mind when you are
buying your furniture and drap-
cries to go in the same room.
1t may need toning down with
plain quiet colors or it may ne ID
Frightening with gay tones. Old
fashioned rag rugs are always
attractive especially where the
furniture is of the Colonial pat
tern. Rugs made of old carpets
cut up and rewoven are good,
especially if you have a vacuum
cleaner. They are rather heavy
to clean if you have not.
