Records Possible
On Small Farms
Good Cows Are First Require
ment for Good Records
and Fortune.
Small Breeder Favorer

Expensive equipment and high
priced herdsmen are not always
necessary for making advanced
registry records with cows, accord
ing to the dairy department of the
State College of Agriculture. Good
COWS are the first requirement for
good records, and many a man
does not realize how good his cows
are until he gives them a chance.
Fame and fortune have come to
many small breeder because he
started official testing with what
equipment and means he had in
stead of waiting until he had ev-
erything just right. 1t isn't neces-
Sary to break any records to make
official testing very profitable
venture. Good ordinary records
make additional values that pay
big dividends on the money and
labor involved.
The department further points
out that the small breeder has
some distinct advantages in his
favor. He lives closer to his cows.
He knows them better and they
know him. He can always rig up
some place to make his test cows
comfortable and by his personal
care and attention overcome many
advantages the big breeder may
have in the way of elaborate
and expensive herdsmen.
If the small breeder brings out a
sensational producer, the credit,
fame and fortune are all his and
he doesn't have to divide it with
anyone. except to give his wife due
credit for her encouragement.

Diseases Of MetaIs.

Some of the phenomena displayed
by metals under certain conditions
are strikingly like those Of organic
bodies suffering from what we call
disease. A writer in the Lancet"
0ondon) reminds us that stability
can only be a relative term, and the
truth is probably that no element is
absolutely stable He goes on:
THE discovery Of radium has intro
duced the doctrine of degradation, but
whether that be definitely established
or not, and radio-energy apart, spon-
taneous change would appear to be as
true Of inorganic materials as it is of
organized entities. Yellow phosphorus
gradually assumes a new complexion
if left to the agencies OF. time, finish
ing beautiful dark red. Is this a
step in its retrograde movement to-
ward becoming, that is, an element
of lower order? Why, again, does tin
crumble to gray powder if exposed
for long time to the cold? The
change is known as tin plague; the
smooth surface of the metal after an
exposure to 1915 degrees c.. for two
years becomes brittle and crystalline.
Tin plague is even Infectious for on
inoculating other masses of smooth
polished tin with small portions of
the crystalline metal the disease
spreads, the area affected increasing
in diameter from three to five MILF
meters daily. Tinfoil succumbs to the
infection in the same way and be-
comes crystalline and brittle right
through Why, again, does the rail-
way line snap except that it is at
tackled by the same crystalline dis
ease? It would even appear that GER
tain metals have their Illness as
though their activities were interfered
with by toxic process which may be
pushed in many cases TO such an ex-
tent that the metal dies Platinum,
for example, in its coloidaI form, in
which 1t is very remarkably active,
is positively poisoned by prussic
acid or corrosive sublimate, and its
great energies cease to act; 1t is kill
led. Quoted by Literary Digest.

For the Housewife.

Copper articles that have become
discolored can be made to look new
again by rubbing them with lemon
dipped in salt and afterward rinsing
in clear hot water and polishing with
a soft cloth.
Aluminium cooking utensils are q
delight until they turn dark inside
then they are an abomination. 1t Is
easy, however, to keep them bright.
Either wash them in soda and water
or boil tomato parings in them; cut
tings from rhubarb and the water it
was washed in alone will often do
the work. So will lemon and table
salt.
All the little dried pieces of cheese
should be grated and put in a covered
glass jar These cheese crumbs are
excellent for many made over dishes
and are particularly good with starchy
foods, such as potatoes. macaroni, etc.
Very tasty crackers can be made by
spreading this grated cheese on
crackers seasoning them and then
putting them in the oven for few
minutes.

After Marriage.

There is something decidedly
wrong about the ho,le when woman
ceases to be particular about her ap-
pearance after marriage. In too many
instances the fault lies not altogether
with the wife, but with the husband
himself, who is also the first to de
piore any such deterioration If he
would look to himself before blaming
his wife, he would probably find that
he had ceased to ray her the little
attentions of which he was so lavish
before marriage, that he gave to bus
mess the time he used to spend SD
pleasantly in her company, and that
he was growing panurious, fond of
exhorting her to be economical, and
in many ways making things harder
than need be for his vile. It is no
wonder that the life of many married
women becomes sordid and miserable
under such circumstances, and that
instead of being ennobled and
strengthened with each passing year
by their mutual love, husband and
wife drift ever farther apart, until
they regard each other with indiffer-
ence, if not with dislike.

To one quart of hot starch (such as
is used for laundry purposes) add five
tablespoons of lye. Stir until web

this solution. Let stand few min

will take off all paint or varnish down
to the natural wood After article is
thoroughly dried the same can be re-
finished to ones liking. Use a cheap
brush as this solution soon ruins it.

that does the work. but plain I've and
water would not adhere until struck

sac Makere Aaalnst euralars.-

Crime keeps pace with civilization,
changes in the habits and customs of
mankind lead to new offenses, while
some good old stand-bys have become
unpopular. First, some cautious per-
son invented an iron, burglar-proof
safe; Immediately, declares a writer in
"Appleton's," the craftsman invented
himself. This declared war of wits
between the shoemaker and the safe
breaker. The door to the original
safe fitted in straight, like an ordinary
door. They were so easy to open, by
means of jimmy, that they did not
furnish the burglar with common
amusement. 1t was unsportsmanlike.
The wedge-shaped door was somewhat
more difficult, until the craftsman
found way to manage it. Then Mr..
Inventor devised a combination lock-
and thought he had utterly outwitted
the thief But the no less ingenious
thief bought him one, and mercilessly
studied out its weakness At first he
did not attempt to break the lock,
but devoted himself to blowing 1t
open. This was child's play. He put
tied up the crack all the way around
the door, except tiny hole at the top
and bottom. At the bottom hole he
get a small shelf of very fine gunpow-
der To the top hole he attached
vacuum pump BY exhausting the air
from the safe he created a strong cur
rent at the lower hole, which sucked
in the powder. Then he fired the safe.
That was all.
The shoemaker met this advanced
method by corrugating the door to his
safe and fitting it with rubber, so as to
make it air tight. The craftsman took
another twist in his art, used acid, de-
stroyed the rubber, and again blew
open the safe. AS safe doors were
made harder and harder, so did Mr..
Craftsman make his drills of fine and
finer temper. But all of these meth
DDS were accompanied by more or less
noise, and the craftsman dislikes no.
toriety So he began to experiment
Win Lie IOCh dllu DDCS0-
lily found a means to open it. The
cracksman took the little finger on
his left hand and kept it bandaged
for weeks so as to make it highly sem
sitive to the touch. Then he pared his
nails down into the very quick, laying
the nerve centers bare. Thus with
out drills or powder he was able to
open a safe by placing the sensitive
end of his finger against the lock,
while he slowly turned the combina-
ton. So keen and delicate had his
sense of touch become that he could
feel when each tumbler dropped into
position. The safe would be opened,
rifled and closed again leaving no
sign to show how the trick was turn
ed. The craftsman was tickled might
lily with the mystery and bewilder-
ment he left behind him.
The shoemaker invented new safes,
one after another, which could not be
broken in the same old way; the high
grade craftsman bought them, one
after another studied every detail Of
their construction, and found new
ways to break them. Neck to neck
ran the armor plate of protection and
the high-power guns of attack.
