said every Sunday, land God
The little boy did not say any
thing. He was afraid to say
anything; he was almost afraid
that something would happen TO
him because of the things he
thought.
Love God, Who was always
picking on people for having a
good time, and sending little
boys to hell because they
couldn't do better in world
which he had made so hard.
Why didn't God take some one
his own size?
Love Jesus. The little boy
looked up at the picture which
hung on the Sunday-school wall.

Rock Oddly Carved by
Erosion of Centuries

If there is any character that pre-
dominates in the infinite variety of
form and outline among the smaller
Galapagos islands. it is perpendicu-
larity. They seem TO specialize in it.
On some of them the rock walls,
rising directly out of deep water, are
so nearly vertical that a landing
could be made upon them only with
great difficulty, if at all On some
l imagine no human foot has ever
trod.
In many cases the waves have cut
the shore line inward in a deep
groove, so that at ten or twenty feet
above low water the rock actually
overhangs, and one walks or crawls,
il he can keep his feet at all, under
sort Of stone portico whose roof is
carved into innumerable coigns and
arches and inverted pinnacles of the
most fantastic form.
Not seldom the unceasing erosion
of the waves has worn the rock away
into huge caverns and flying but
tresses and natural bridges, and here
and there great promontory or a
whole island. like Watson island or
Kicker rock, has been pierced clear
through from side to side in a pas
sage high and wide enough to take
a boat.-Gifford Pinchot in the Sat-
urday Evening Post.

Roughage Important in
Dairy Cattle Feeding

Many of the abnormal conditions eX-
perienced in dairy cattle feeding which
in the past have been attributed to
other causes have probably been due
to lack of proper quality in the
roughage.
If corn fodder rather than corn
silage must be part of the dairy
feed supply for this winter. start now
to put it in such shape that it can be
kept clean, bright, and of the best pos
sible quality. Attention giveL now to
safeguarding palatability and quality
in corn fodder will pay big returns
later in the winter.
Fodder should be shredded If pos
sible Shredding or chOpping may
not increase the digestibility of fod-
der but does make it possible to store
such feeds in much smaller space and
under shelter where is quality can be
safequarded.
Corn fodder should not be used as
the sole source of roughage. 1t Is
better TO feed it only once a day,
preferably the last thing at night, feed
ing literally so that dairy cows are
not forced to pick it over too closely.
To force cows to feed over corn fod-
der too closely is poor economy. Fore

field or shock is the worst of folly

HOOTY THE OWL PROVES
A FRIEND

Oh. honor friend when a friend you
need,
For then is a friend. friend indeed.
NOMETIMES people act the part of
y friends without knowing it. It was
that way with Hooty the Owl. He
proved friend to Peter Rabbit when
Peter most needed friend, but he
doesn't know 1t to this day. However.
Peter doesn't forget, and he has a
kindlier feeling for Hooty than ever
he used to have. 1t is queer how
things sometimes happen in this world.
Hooty did for Peter the greatest thing
that anyone can do for another; he
saved Peters life. Yes. sir, that is
just what HOoty did. And this is the
queer thing about it; he didn't try to
do it. More than this. he didn't know
that he did do it. He doesn't know il
yet But Peter knows it, and little
Mrs. Peter knows it, for Peter told her
all about it, and one other knows it
Shadow the Weasel
You see it was this way: Peter had
run until he felt as if he couldn't run
another step. His feet felt too heavy
TO lift. He was so short of breath that
he had a pain in his side, the same
sort of pain that you sometimes have
when you run very long and very
hard. Worse still, his heart was thump-
ing from fear and terror till ii seemed
as if ii must burst, and not one little
ray of hope did Peter have to give him
courage. He knew that somewhere
behind him, drawing nearer with
every jump, was Shadow the Weasel.
and that when Shadow should catch
him, then-well, it was best not to
think about what would happen then.
At last Peter felt that he just had
to rest. He couldn't run another step.
Right in front of him was a pile of
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1932-02-19

snow-covered brush. He crawled un-
der this, and there he squatted pant
ing Tor breath. and with terrible fear
in his eyes, watching his back tracks
for Shadow the Weasel. Now II just
happened that Peter had no more than
crawled under that pile of brush than
Hooty the Owl came sailing over the
Green Forest on silent wings. like a
black shadow in the moonlight.
Close by the pile of brush under
which Peter was hiding was tall dead
tree, and right on the top of this
Hooty alighted and sat perfectly still
and very straight. In fact he looked
like part of the tree itself. He meant
to. 1t was one of HoOty's watch tow
ers. He had arrived just too late to
see Peter crawl under the brush, and
he came so silently that Peter didn't
hear him. Neither did Peter see him,
for he was too intent on watching for
Shadow to look up. So Peter didn't
know that Hooty was anywhere near,
and Hooty didn't know that Peter was
anywhere about.
Peter had watched sharply, but had
seen nothing. when suddenly Hooty
swooped down right in front of where
Peter was hiding. 1t was so sudden
and unexpected that Peter swallowed
his breath and almost choked. There
was an angry splitting sound and then
Peter saw what looked like some of
the snow itself bound off to one side.
1t was Shadow, and his coat was pure
white. Again Hooty swooped and Shad-
ow lodged. Then he turned and darted
into hole in hollow log while Hooty
went back to his watch tower. Then
Peter sighed. 1t was sigh of great
relief. AS long as Hooty sat there
Shadow would not dare come out of
his retreat in the hollow log, and that
meant that he. Peter. would have time
TO rest and regain his breath. HoOty
had saved his life for while, any,
way, for if he hadn't swooped at
Shadow just when he did. and so pre-
vented him from reaching the pile of
brush. Peter would have been no more
by this time. For the first time in all
his life Peter felt kindly toward Hooty
the Owl. Perhaps now he might get
away after all.

MUCH DEPENDS ON
CARE OF SEPARATOR
Writer'S Advice It Will Be
Well to Follow.

One of the chief causes for varia-
tons in the per cent of butterfat lies
in the operation and care of the cream
separator, says the Dakota Farmer.
The belief that the percentage of but
terfat varies with the feeding of the
cow is not correct. for none of the ex-
pertinent stations have ever found a
method of feeding that would main
tain the milk flow and at the same
time increase the percentage of fat
over long period of time.
Some of the things to watch care
fully are:
1. Position of the cream or skim
milk screw. Any change in this screw
will affect the cream test.
2. Speed of the separator. Richness
of the cream increases with the speed.
A speed indicator is recommended for
the hand-operated separator.
3. Temperature of the milk. The
cooler the milk the richer the cream.
Milk should be separated as soon as
possible after milking
4. Richness of the milk. Rich milk
means rich cream and should be
taken into consideration with the
change of season.
8. Rate of milk inflow. Keep the
separator supply tank valve open to
full capacity. Smaller inflow means
richer cream and less volume.
6. Vibration of the separator. vi
bration decreases the richness of the
cream.
Z. Dirty separator bowl. Slime in
the separator bowl reduces its diane
ter, and at the same time the centri-
fugal force exerted upon the milk,
causing thinner cream.

Five of his daughters averaged 1908

in milk and 80 per cent in fat over
their five dams.
