Uncle Wiggily were dressed in their

let me tell you.
Pretty soon the two friends were
on their way over the fields and
through the woods. At one place
there was only a narrow passage
through a patch of bramble briar
bushes. Uncle Wiggily, being small
squeezed himself past all right, but
when fat Mr.. Twistytail tried to do
the same the briars caught his blue
coat. There was ripping tearing
sound and when the pig pulled him
self through the brambles his new
coat had a big hole in it.
Look at that. Look at that,

She hurled words at the chief in

in answer to the argument. They
were directed at Patrolman Rosen'

Uncle Wiggily tried to pin up,
with thorns, the hole in Mr.. Twisty-
tails coat. But it must be said the
rabbit did not do very well.
''It looks worse than before! y
the pig gentleman grunted as he
finally turned around and had a
look. ~ IN going back home! >
ooh, dear! You II spoil my whole

did not know what to do, but just
then a bird flew down out Of a trek
and sang:

"Can YOU sew?' asked Uncle
Wiggilv.

man.
Finding some long, strong grass
stems for thread, the bird, using her
beak for a needle soon sewed the
hole in Mr.. Twistvtal's blue coat so
YOU would never have known it was
ripped. And when Uncle Wiggily
rubbed some blue violet flower
Juice on the grass threads they
didn't show and the coat was as
fine as heart could wish.
Then thanking the Tailor Bird or
Sewing Bird for her kindness, the
two friends went on to the movies

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE

my goodness!What is going to
happen?" asked Mrs. Longears, the
rabbit lady, one morning after she
, had helped get all the forty 'leven
little bunny children off to school.
And hard enough it was to get them
to GO, too, with the long vacation so
near at hand. "What is the mat

''What is the matter now - asked
Uncle Wiggily, which doesn't make
much sense unless you know what he
is talking about.
q mean went on his wife,
"why are you all dressed up with
your new red coat on' Surely you

"No,' Mr.. Longears replied with
laugh, Il am not going adventur-

.'Oh, of course if you re going

"No, thanks!' laughed the rab-
bit lady. ''I'll stay here and have
something cooked for you when you

So Mr.. Longears brushed the
wrinkles out of his best red coat
and after picking a few cobweos
off his tall silk hat, which cobwebs
were tangled on the day before
when he was caught by the Fox,
Wolf and Bob Cat, the rabbit gentle

Agricultural Notes
err Cream, Quick Cooling

Richer Cream, Quick Cooling
Swimming richer cream and cool
ing the fresh cream quickly in cold
water are among the recommen-
dations for producing sweet cream
made by C.. w. Fryhofer, of
Minneapolis, supervising federal
state butter inspector, in a recent
issue of the Chicago Dairy Pro-
duce.
Inspector Fryhofer recommends
that the cream screw in the sepa-
rator be adjusted SO that the cream
will test between 80 and IS per
cent. He points out that there is
no advantage to the producer in
separating a thinner cream, but
that, on the other hand, Swimming
a richer cream gives the farmer
less cream to take of and cool. AL
so, as richer cream will keep sweet
longer, the chances for its reaching
the creamery sweet are much bet
ter than are those of the thin
cream.
There is another advantage of
Swimming rich cream. It leaves
more skim milk on the farm, and
skim milk is very valuable as a
poultry, hog and calf feed.
Quick cooling of the fresh cream
in cold water is strongly recon-

Minnesota Near Top
In Ton Litter Work
|. Minnesota swine growers pro-
duced SO pig litters weighing a
ton or more each in a 180-day per-
iod in 1926. Swine growers in 20
other states also carried on ton
litter contests and the grand to-
tai of such filters was 8O8. Min
nesota was surprised by only a
few Of the states in production of
big itters.
Only two more weeks are left for
entries in the 1927 Minnesota ton
litter contest and the pork produc-
ton contest, says H. G.. Zavoral,
livestock specialist with the univer-
sity, who is in charge. More than
leo entries are confidently expect
ed for the ton litter race, and
stout competition is also assured in
the new pork production competi-
ton, says the specialist.
The Minnesota pig crop for 1927
is pronounced good by livestock au-
thorities. Losses were rather light
| in the March narrowing, but much
heavier in April because of un-
favorable weather conditions.
Dangerous House Fly
Needs Attention Now
Seven generations of the house

sunny season in Minnesota, says
DR.. w. A. Riley of the state uni.

egg stage lasts about a day, the
larval stage four or five days, ant
the pupal stage about "a week. IN
three or four days more the adult
flies begin to deposit their eggs fol

life history of this carrier of the
germs of disease and death have
shown that a single fly may be the
forerunner of two trillion flies ir
a single season.
The fly problem is not what il
used to be in the day of our faith
ers when no pretense was made on
eradicating their breeding places
| and when adequate screens were
not obtainable. Great progress has
been made, especially in the cities
and towns, in cleaning up the
breeding places of the pest
Screens are everywhere now rec.

Every patron should insist on

be screened early in the season,
and the screens should be tight fit
