he was some distance from the tree,

not, for the very good reason that no
one was following him.
The Green Forest was very still.
Only once did he hear anything to tell
him that there was another living
thing there. A Merry Little Breeze
wandering through the treetops
brought him the sound of Sammy Jays
voice. 1t was very faint, but it was
enough to make Buster growl deep

DAIRY FACTS

Milking a COW three times a day
Increases her milk flow, according to
the results Of experiments.
One inquiring farmer recently put
water meter on his drinking cups and
found that the cows used about gal
Ion of water in producing three pints
Of milk and the heaviest producers
consumed as much as Is gallons Of
water day.
Don't put cows on freshly irrigated
pastures, and on pastures that are wet
from natural precipitation or heavy
dews.
Fences should be repaired to keep
the cows on the home farm and not to
exclude neighbors' bulls. These should
be kept in strongly built bull pens.
After the grass becomes better de-
veloped 1t Is possible to do away with
grain feeding without any serious ef-
fects during the period of time when
there is abundance Of grass.
Good cows should be dried off In
time to give enough rest and an oppor-
tunity to fit them for succeeding lacta-
lions.
Discard the cow that has had fair
chance and has failed at the end Of
year to pay market price for all feeds
consumed.
SHnflowers make very satisfactory
silage for dairy cows and other stock.
For milk production, sunfiower silage
is about So per cent as efficient as corn
silage.

SIGHTSEEING Methods
Aiding Children's Eyes

Four hundred sightseeing classes
have been established in the schools
of 112 American communities. ac-
cording to statistics received by the
Better Vision institute. The classes
are conducted so as to put the least
possible strain on the children whose
eyes are naturally defective; large
type books are used, the children
can choose their own positions in the
classroom SO that they can see the
blackboard without difficulty, and
they are taught to use the touch sys-
tenn on the typewriter as soon as
possible to avoid the strain of hand
writing. According to the institute,
one out of five children are handi-
capped by defective vision. and
since they are compelled to attead
school up to a certain age, school au-
thorities are beginning to realize that
they owe a special responsibility TO
the 100000 out of the 26,000,0O0
children in the United States who do
not see well.

Robin Had Business There

Some time during the winter a
pane of glass was broken in the
clubhouse of the Bath (Maine) Coun-
try club and an early arrival from
the south decided that was a good
place to build a nest and rear her
young. AS the clubhouse had no:
been kept open during the winter no
one knew about the feathered visitor
and recently the glass was reset
Then it was noticed that robin kept
flying against the glass and pecking
at it. Inside the clubhouse was
found a nest with two blue eggs in ii.

Skimmilk for Cows

Oftentimes cows which have had
some difficulty in calving and heifers
which have freshened very young are
very weak physically for the first
month or two, or longer. This gives
them an increased susceptibility to dis
ease as well as limiting the milk flow.
John Arnhalt, Harry Herrick, L. f.
Kammeyer, and other members of the
Chickasaw Qowa) Herd Improvement
association have found that feeding
such individuals skimmilk often makes
their recovery more rapid and restores
them to healthy condition very quick
ly. Also, fresh heifers grow more
while they are milking if fed skimmilk.
This is a remedy which every dairy
man has on hand and is usually rel
ished by the Successful Farm
ing.

OUR BEDTIME STORY
Bv THORNTON w. BURGESS

been too frightened to feel them at
the time, but he felt them now. But
worse than that there were the stings
from the bees. He hadn't minded
these while he was filling his stom-
ach with that delicious honey, but he
did now. 1t seemed to him that those
bees had found every tender place on
his whole body. He ached and he
smarted all over, but the smarts were
worse than the aches, great deal
worse. 1t seemed to him that he felt
one in a new place every other sec
ond.
"Oh, dearl On, dear mel l almost
wish | had never found that honey"
groaned Buster. sit wouldn't be so
bad if i had got all of it Buster is
very greedy. but to be cheated out
of half of it, and then have to ache
and smart the way do is dreadful.
| can't stand this much longer. I've
got to do something. I've got to find
some mud, and I've got to find it
soon. I'll go crazy if | don't. There's
nothing like good cool mud to take
the smart out of bee stings. And
guess | need bath. I'm a mess.
There isn't water enough in the
Laughing Brook for bath. There's
just one place for me and that is the
pond of Paddy the Beaver. Oh, dear!
Oh. dear! l wish l was there this
minute"

Paddy the Beaver.
Now Farmer Browns Boys one
thought when he yelled and ran was
to get away from those bees as soon
as possible. At the moment he quite
forgot Buster Bear. He heard the
crash of breaking branches as Buster
dropped out of the tree, and then he
heard Buster crashing his way
through the Green Forest as he ran
away, but he was too busy fighting
angry bees to realize what it all
meant then. Later he did and
chuckled as he thought of what
fright Buster must have had. The
bees did not follow him far, and pref
ty soon, quite out of breath, Farmer
Browns Boy stopped to rest. But it
wasn't for long. The stings from the
Ices smarted too much. My, how
they Gid smart

i've simply got to get some mud. My

So Farmer Browns Boy set out for

SEES PASSING OF
darkest AFRICA"
Industrial Revolutionary Era
Predicted.

To the classical world Africa was
source of novelties-"out of
Africa always something new" But
if Prof. Julian Huxley is right in
the forecast which he gave during
an address in Oxford. the capacity
Of that continent for novelties is
becoming exhausted; its new things
appear to lie in the direction of
Europe's old ones. Professor Hulk
ley thinks that at the end of an
other 100 years "a tropical African
federation" will have come into be-
ing, with its own factories ready
to deal with its own great variety
of natural resources. Africa, 1t
would seem, is to have an indus
trial revolution, and Professor
Huxley sees it following so closely
on the European models for such
transformations that he was plead
ing for early action on the part of
European powers to reserve large
African areas as national parks. IF
that were done in time," he suggest
ed, africa and not Switzerland
would become the playground of
the world" Whether the African
peoples Tor such of them as have
not become industrialized) will de-
velop the characteristic Swiss gen.
Jus for hotel keeping remains to be
seen; or perhaps while the Africans
work in their factories the Euro
peans will organize the tourist in
dustry in the national parks. 1t
sounds little fanciful at the mo-
ment- if only because Switzerland
is great deal easier TO get at than
Africa. But 100 years hence it is
certain that travel by air will have
become far more widely and swiftly
organized than it is today. To
reach central Africa by airplane
may then take less time than a.
journey to Switzerland by boat and
train now implies; for our great
grandsons a fortnight on the slopes
of Kilimanjaro might be just as
feasible, in point of time and money,
as contemporary week in lovely
Lucerne." But it is a little alarm
ing to see it limited that we should
act soon in the mater of reserva-
tions lest the Kilimanjaros become
covered with lumber camps and can
