THE GOOD OLD DOG
Some artists seem to think that
nothing smaller than a mountain
or a shipwreck or a cloudburst at
sunset is worthy of their genius
and would not stoop to the study
ol a dog. If I were an adept with
brush and colors, says true lover of
dogs, I should ask no finer model
to express my art than a dog— a a or
such as I once owned—honest-cyed,
no hypocrisy in the wag of his tail,
playful when you are playful, sad
when you are sad. Sudi a dog
never mails his master. He Picks
him cut of the snow when over
come by the ice-blast; he comes
bounding through the darkness at
approaching peril; dashes in the
water to bring ashore your child;
lies on the doormat with head be
tween paws when his master is in
and gets up as the doctor leaves,
hoping to go in and have anotner
putting from his master s hand.
The master dead, he moans the j
the long night through and will not
be comforted. When the day of
burial comes he follows the funeral
procession to the grave, moving
when tht procession moves, haking
when it halts, until, with bot it
jciws on the bank of the upturned
sod. he stands, sad-eyed, mnng
into the opened place. Condolence
for others, but no word of pity lor
him. The kennel will be dark to
night. No hand to pet him new.
and none to call him with sharp j
whistle to the porch and take him ■;
up, cleverly holding the soft pad ,
of the forefoot. He is nothing but a
dog- but. a friend, and what a pic
ture! I would rather have a faith
ful picture of the loving ”Shep,
who grieved himself awav because
of my protracted absence from
home, and refuse to eat or drink,
tdl his wasted skeleton was found
in the stream on a neighboring
jar—yes, I would rather have a
faithful picture of him than a who-e
houseful of the masterpieces of
mountain, wreck, and sky.
SWEET CLOVER
Nature persistently offers us
sweet clovei for the need of our
•well-worn soil, but as yet only cer
tain districts have made any effort
to accept it. We labor under the
delusion that it is something to be
used only where it is impossible to
grow alfalfa or regular clovers, and
no turn a deaf ear- to all the be
seechings of those who so consis
tently preach soil improvement gos
pel. But the fact remains that no
matter how well alfalfa grows in a
certain section, so should its sister
legume be grown, for it fills a fer
tility need that no other crop can
equal, not even alfalfa. It delves
down after lime and brings that
lime up to where more common
crops have ready access to it, and
as to pulling down nitrogen from
the air it is the most wonderful
plant of all. And now combine lime
and nitrogen and we have a mighty
good foundation for real farm pros
perity. Very often we imagine that
our soil is not suitable for the sweet
clover start and sustenance, and so
at first it may not be. But a little
lime and inoculation and patience
will surely win the day after which
sweet clover will grow gloriously
for benefit of both field crops and
live stock. But in many cases all
that is required to make swee„
clover take hold is the simple scat
tering of the seed on the surface.
One such case is here reported. A
man had a flat 30 acres that needed
something. His brother-in-law from
another section of the country ad
vised sweet clover. “But it doesn t
grow in this country” was the reply,
and the debate ended. Then one
spring a lot of sweet clover seed
samples came into this home from
some source or another, and the
woman of the house, remembering
her brother’s advice, sowed these
samples in a patch of the question
able ground. Neither lime nor in
oculation was used, yet the sweet
clover made excellent stand. Now
that farmer is a sweet clover ad
dict and the field is redeemed.
TREATMENT OF EWES
Losses frequently occur in ewes
when they are conlinccl in close
quarters during the last two or
three weeks of pregnancy. This
disease is called ‘‘beiore lambing
paralysis,” preparturient paresis,
and acidosis. The disorder gener
ally affects ewes carrying twin
lambs, and occurs several days be
fore, or within a fe v weeks of,
lambing. It is most likely to ap
pear in flocks receiving the best
teed. Treatment o£ ewes showing
symptoms of this disease usually
has proved of no value and they
usually die. However, if normal
lambing should take place in the
early stages of the disorder, Inc
ewes may recover. Ewes alfectcd
with pregnancy disease usually have
no appetite, seem to be in a stupor,
and walk with a staggering gah.
Jn the later stages ibty are unable
to rise, appear to be blind, grind
their teeth, and lapse into a par
tial or complete coma. The tem
perature and replication of the ewes
remain about normal. Death occurs
in two to ten days after the onset
of symptoms. Losses from this dis
ease can be prevented by causing
the ewes to take cxerci-s*-. No new
cases will develop in a Hoc.!: alter
exercise has been provided for one
or two days. It is therefore rec
ommended that the hay or lodarr

a proper .calcium balance tirough

DAILY POULTRY SCHEDULE
The following schedule is claimed, j
by many who have followed it to be
entirely practical. 4:00 a. m. Arti
ficial lights turned on automati
cally (evening light may be used
if more convenient.) One-fourth
daily allowance cf scratch feed in
deep, dry litter. Water should be
available. 6:00 a. in. In summer
grain and water are fed at this
time. 7:00 a. m. In winter when r,o
lights are used the grain is fed at
this time. See that the mash,
oyster shell, and grit hopper,, are
properly filled. 3:00 a. m. Milk or
green feed may be fed in summer.
10:00 a. m. Light, feeding of
grain is sometimes given in win
ter. 12:00 Noon. Green feed and
light feeding of grain in winter,
3:30 p. m. Balance daily allowance
scratch feed in winter when morn
ing illumination or no lights are
used. Gather eggs, if weather is
cold, and give fresh water. 6 00 p. m
In winter, empty water dishes un
less heated fountains or evening
light is used, and feed morning
grain, if morning light is used. In
summer, or with evening light,
feed balance of daily allowance of
scratch grain and cather eggs.Pro
vide fresh water. 8:00 p. m. In win
ter, turn off lights if evening light
is used and empty drinking ves
sels if necessary. In summer look
for broody hens.
TIIF. WATERING PROBLEM
The individual drinking cup has
made a good reputation among
dairymen because it makes it con
venient for cows to get good water
whenever they want it. In many
instances the drinking cup has
proven that tows were not getting
all the water they needed as shown
by the increased production after
the cups were installed. There is no
mystery about drinking sups in
supplying water to cows. They are
merely a convenient way — a labor
saving device — that does the job
better than the average dairyman
usually does it when watering cows
from a tank. Cows that are offered
ice water, even though it be offered
several times a day, will rarely
drink all they need. It is not nec
essary to supply warm water in the
winter but it is necessary to re
move the icy chill. No one has de
termined if there is an ideal tem
perature for water for cows. It is
generally assumed that cows will
drink all they need of water rang
ing in temperature somewhere be
tween 50 degrees and 70 degrees
Fahrenheit, if given opportunity to
drink two to four times a day. Be
sides constituting 87 per cent of
milk, water also plays an important
part in digestion, in the elimination
of body temperature

CHOPPING HAY
The various processes of prepar
i ing reughages, such as grinding
, chopping, or steaming and 'pre-di
gesting’ had their greatest advan
| tage in making the stock eat the
| courser pans ol the roughage* that
they would ordinaully reluse. In
1 this' way soy bean hay for dairy
cows was improved to the extent
of nearly 20 per cent by chopping,
whereas alfalfa liay was not im
proved for dairy cows. References
as to no results being obtained in
grinding good quality roughage,
while informative, should not neces
sarily rule out the practicability cf
any and all chopping of chaffing
of hay or other roughage, lor it
has been pointed out repeatedly
that much of the roughage con
sumed by farm animals is of a de
cidedly low grade such as coarse
or, of necessity, poorly cured hay,
corn fodder out of the shock, or
even certain kinds of straw. One
of the important factors in deter
mining the economy of chopping
roughages is the price of such feed.
If soy bean hay, for instance that
in our work was improved to the ex
tent of nearly 20 per cent, cost $20
per ton, chopping would improve
it to the extent of $4. whereas if
we were dealing with $10 soy bean
hay. all other things being the same,
chopping would make it worth only
$2 more.
FARM VS. CITY LAD
A young country follow left the
farm and got a job in the city. He
wrote a letter to his brother who
chose to stay in the country, telling
about city life, in which lie said:
“Thursday we autoed to the club
where wc lunched and danced to
dark.” The brother on the farm
wrote back: "Yesterday we motored
to town where we baseballcd all
afternoon. Today we horsed out to
the cornfield and gaddyaped until
sundown. Then we slippered and
piped for a while. After that we
staircased up to our rooms and
bedsteaded until the clock four*
thirtied.”
LEGUME INCREASES YIELD
Margins of profit on wheat bay
be widened as much as nine bush
els an acre when the crop follows
a legume rather than a non-lcg
ume in the rotation. This is shown
by a comparison of wheat yields
after legume hay and after corn

Skimping the ration on all the

poor business. The problem may

Tales of Rea! Dogs B>’ a11*'' p**50" T-,hune
- -- - _
He Looked Like a Wolf
His name was Cirko. He was a
£reat hairy beast with yellow lights
in his eyes. He looked more like a
wolf than like a dog. Indeed, he was
one-quarter wolf, and that gave him
his title of “wolf-dog.”
With a description like that, one
would imagine him risking his life
among shells and shrapnel In a
first-line trench, or "going bad" and
slaughtering cattle on the plains.
But Cirko had a much more peace
ful and more prosaic job.
Far up In the hills of a Balkan
country which in those days was
known as Servia, there is a little
settlement clustered around a mon
astery. The settlement is Sichevo.
Tire monastery is the center of the
local grape-growing industry. Its
monks, for centuries, made wine
from tho yellowish-pink grapes.
And, for several years, big Cirko
guarded the vineyards for them.
It was not always as peaceful a
task as it might have been. For the
vineyards attracted petty thieves,
and it was Cirko’s duty to drive
these marauders away.
Also, in the winter, wolves were
wont to slink down from the moun
tain caves to raid the monastery s
sheepfold. Again and again, Cirko's
strength and courage and fighting
power were called into use for the
combatting of these four-foot:d
raiders.
Never was there a human grape
Miief who dared face his attack. Nor
was there a wolf fierce enough to
withstand his whirlwind charge. The
monastery snuggled safely amid Us
hills, with the mighty wolf dog to
protect it.
The monks made a pet of Cir
ko and fed him well. They even
winked at a queer tendency of his.
I have said he guarded the ripe
grapes from human marauders. But
he did not do so for the service by
lie did not do so free of charge. He
paid himself for the service by eat
ing great quantities of grapes, pick
ing them daintily from the vines
with his terrible jaws.
(Often, dogs are fond of grapes.
I have had several collies, here at
Sunnybank, which would cal them
from the vines by the hour, and
seemed to relish grapes almost as
much as meat.)
On the other hand, the average
clog won’t eat grapes at all. But
Cirko was not an average dog. He
was a grape eater. And the monks
allowed him to eat all the grapes
he wanted.
There were others besides Cirko
whom the kind monks allowed to
wande* unmolested through the
vineyards, devouring all the grapes
they could hold. These others were
the pupils and teachers of the Brit
ish orphanage, far down the valley,
some miles below the monastery.
In the early autumn, by arrange
ment with the monks, the parentless
Balkan children and their English
preceptors used to make a pilgrim
age up the mountainside, and spend
a whole day among the grapes, as
guests of the monastery. There they
had a grand picnic, bringing along
their own lunch, but adding to it a
tremendous quantity of grapes.
One year, Cirko was allowed to
run loose on the day when the Or
phanage held its picnic. The monks
knew they could trust him not to
hurt the children. Besides, there
bad been a gang of local boys, the
'ear before, who had “crashed the
gate” of the vineyard and had not
only stolen quantities of grapes but
had annoyed the orphans and their
teachers.
The monks knew these boys would
not dare molest the guests If Cirko
were on guard. And they were rirht.
The prowess of the giant wolfdog
was enough to keep all gate-crash
ers away, the moment it was known
he was to be left at large.
The dog had a wonderful day. Not
only did the 01 phans and the teach
ers pet him and talk to him. but
they gave him quantities of foud
from their lunch baskets. Never be
fore had Cirko had such a glorious
feast. Never before had he tasted *o
many kinds of delicious food.
Hitherto, ha had known only the
very simple fare of the monastery
| Now he was reveling in cakes anc
pies and in dozens of sandwiches.
1 It was a new experience for Cirko.
Being clever, he associated the mar
I velous food with the people who
gave It to him. If that was the kind
I of fare the Orphanage kept in stock,
then the Orphanage must be a
splendid place to live.
In the late afternoon when the
children and the teachers started
homeward. Cirko followed them. Be
ing part wolf, he was able to creep
along among the roadside under
brush without anyone knowing he
was there. The dog was following
that heavenly food to its source.
As the children got out of the
wagons at the Orphanage door and
began to march into the building,
two by two, Cirko ranged alongside
them and marched in with them. He
made it as clear to everybody as he
could that he was there to stay.
The superintendent had him
hoisted into a wagon and took him
back to the monastery. Inside of
an hour, Cirko was scratching at
the Orphanage front door, demand
ing to be let in.
Again and again he was sent back
to the monks. Again and again he
made iris escape and gallopc-d to the
Orphanage. At last, the monks told
the English superintendent that
Cirko could stay with tha children
he loved.
immediately, me wonaog was
adopted as the chum of the whole
Orphanage. He had all the petting
and all the food he wanted. He was
perfectly happy. And he earned his
keep, tco, as winter cama on and
sinister wolves lurked at the edge
of the Orphanage grounds while the
children were at play.
Savagely the dog drove the wolves
away. Savagely he guarded the Or
phanage storehouses from their
nightly depredations which former
ly hail resulted in the loss of so
many provisions.
Yea, Cirko was earning his keep
With the mighty wolfdog onr guard,
the children were as safe on their
daily walks as if a machine-gun
company was in charge of them.
Then, just a year after he had
come to the Orphanage to live.
Cirko disappeared. Loud were the
wailings of the children who had
grown to love him and whose cher
ished playmate he was. The
teachers and the superintendent
missed him almost as much. They
grieved for him and searched for
him in vain.
At last word came from the monks
that Cirko had returned to the
monastery. He had not gone back
to hts old home for the sake, of see
ing the monks themselves, but be
cause it was the height of the grape
season. Prom morning to night, the
dog wandered around the vine
yards, stuffing himself with the ripe
fruit.
The gentle monks did not drive
him away. Indeed, they led him.
But lie did not care for their sim
ple food. All he wanted was grapes
—all the grapes he could cat.
When the grape-season was over,
j he returned eagerly to the Orphan
j age. There ire stayed happily until
next grape season.
He lived on for many years after
that. But. every autumn, he would
! steal away from his Orphanage
friends to gorge himsalf for a week
on the monastery’s grapes.

IF YOUR CREDIT IS REINED
Proper Wethod of Ite-estabbllshing
It Explained by Writer
Henry IL Hcimann in the Ameri
can Magazine
Suppose that a man, through
Ignorance, carelessness, bad luck, or
bad management, has thoroughly
ruined his credit standing in the
community. He realizes how foolish
he has been, and wonts to re-estab
lish his credit. How shall hr go
about It?
First—He should bc^ln by keep
ing a careful, detailed ledger oi all
hts expenditures and receipts.
Nothing is mere reassuring to a
credit than :/:h a record. Some
years ago, when I was credit man
ager of a company in Chicago, n
business man from the Northwest
visited me and said he wanted to
buy $10,000 worth of goods on credit.
I was very doubtful about extend
ing it. He took from his suitcase
two heavy ledgers.
“This one," he said, "contains
every cent of my personal income
and expenses for the last five years.
The other is a similar record of my
business. Look them over " Piftl I
minutes with those books was
enough for me. A man who kept
such a record could not bo irre
sponsible.
Second—The man who warts to
rc-cstablish his credit should gc
to the merchants with whom he
has always dealt, making all hi*
purchases not for cash, but C. O. D
so that a full record of them will
be preserved.
Third—After buying for six
months or so C. O. D , he should
take his ledger under his arm and
go around to see the credit man
agers of the various stores tor the
owner or manager if there is no
credit manager). He should point
out that he is again a regular cus
tomer at the store; that he has
balanced his budget and is re
solved to keep it balanced for the
future; and that he would appre
ciate the extension of limited credit
to prove his good faith.
Then, when credit is extended,
he should pay his bills immedi
ately on receiving them. Thus,
slowly, but surely, the confidence
and faith which are credit can be
restored. And it is worth all the
trouble it costs, ten times over.
DANGER SIGNAL
From World Herald
Never was the admonition that
eternal vigilance is the price of lib
berty more aptly illustrated than is
was recently in the Senate restau
fant at Washington. The goingu
on of that fateful day should be
sufficient Rs^lce to freedom-loving
souls throughout this still great if
somewhat depressed nation that
something has got to be done and
don mighty quickly about the spin
ach situation. We dislike to keep
harping on spinach. The whole sub
pcct of spinach is distasteful to us.
But there is a great deal more in
volved here than the mere aca
demic question of whether or not
spinach contains more vitamins
than sassafras tea or roast ribs of
beef or young spring frys. A prin
ciple is involved. The paramount
Issue is this: Shall the freeborn
citizens of the United States of
America be forced to eat spinach
whether or not they like it?
One day recently Senator Hury
P. Long, recently up from Louisi
rna, introduced pot likker to a
o-czen of his colleagues in the sen
ate restaurant. But, some naive
reader may ask, what has pot lik
ker to do with spinach? The ans
wer is, plenty! Pot likker is com
posed of two main ingredients, one
of which is turnip greens. Turnip
greens! First blood cousin to spin
ach. Spinach is of the greens fam
ily, along with dandelions, horse
weed and prairie hay. It is but a
step from turnip greens to spinach
greens. The second ingredient Is,
according to Senator Long, himself,
lour bits worth of dry salt pork.
Yeah, dry! He pretends to be a
dry, does he? To allay the suspicion
of Bishop Cannon and Mr. McBride
and Dr. Clarence True Wilson, he
calls it “dry” salt pork. But how
long does that pork clay dry? They
dunk that pork, friends, and in
what? In pot likker, that’s what!
And now Senator Long has fed this
demoralizing beverage or porridge
or goulach or whatever it is, to 12
other senators. What will be the re
sult? The result will be that the
stuff will get a hold on them, as
it has on Huey Long, and they will
vote it on to the rest of us, That's
the way with so many politicians.
If they like a thing we’ve get to
like it. If they hate it, it's out,
whether we like it or not.
You say pot likker is not likely
to get a hold on them Then pon
der this: Senator Long had planned
to introduce his celebrated dish to
the Senate this week instead of
last week. But says the Associated
Press, he became “Impatient” and
sent people Ecounny over Washing
ton for turnip green; and four bits
worth of "dry” salt pork. It
wouldn’t be like the pre-war greens
and salt pork that he had dreamed
of bringing up from Div.ie, but
would ctill have some kick and
would have to do. For he was “im
patient.’*
Impatient? His appetite got him!
His throat got to burning, he got
nervous and shaky and despondent.
He was about to see snakes! And
now he has fed it to 12 other law
makers. They will ligislate it right
into the constitution as sure as
you’re born. It will become the
Twentieth amendment — and then
where nre your state’s lights, your
local options, your candied yams

EXPERT FIXES

San Francisco — (UP) — 05hl»
who wait until they are past 2T
to marry are likely to remain spin
sters for the rest of their, lives.
That is the theory of Cavendish
Moxon, M. A., consulting psyehfl
oglst, who has made a study of
marriage here for the last 1®
years.
••Between the ages of 73 and i!T
a girl is at her best,” he said. “;ihe
reaches the full bloom in physical
and mental development. Hhe can
choose her husband from the group
of men between ihe ttgos ’8 and 33,
the usunl marrying period for men.
•‘If she waits until after 31, el*e
is apt to find t'nc man of her own
age or a few years older, already
married. As a rule, younger nun
will not be interested in her.”
Moxon said he believed the un
derlying cause for unhappiness in
modern marriage is the tendency
of the times for individualization.
••Marriage is easy when every
body has the same tastes, man
ners nnd beliefs.” he said. “It be
comes dangerous for the emanci
pated woman and individualized
man of today. A hunt for perfec
