Tradition Smy About British Mystery City Many adventurous people sigh with envy when they read of ancient cities being discovered in tlie sands of far oT deserts. Rut there is at least one mystery city to lie found in Britain, says an item in Pearson's Weekly. In the old Collie lore of Britain there are many references to the city of Kmrys, where a l*ruid brotherhood, skilled in all the marvels of alchemy and ancient magic, had their head quarters. This city of Kmr.vs is sup posed to lie somewhere in the neigh borhood of Stmwdon, the famous Welsh mountain. One old writer as serted that it oceupled the summit of “the panting cliff" on Snowdon itself. Another writer says that it stood “upon the road from the promontory of l.leyn to that part of the const which is opposite Mona" (Anglesey). The city was originally surrounded by three walls and built on an emi nence called Broich v Ddinas. With in the walls were at least a hundred towers, and the defenses were 0 feet in thickness. It was in this city on the heights of Snowdon that the an cient Britons believed that many dra gons were concealed, and that one of the Druid goddesses used to drive through tills mystery city with dra gons harnessed to her car.

Te,hun, w PATCHES: A CHILDLESS CANINE ‘MOTHER’ Her name was Patches. She was a wire-haired fox-terrier, two jems old. Incidentally, she had double share of all the mother-instinct of the whole canine race,* and she had no puppies of her own cn which to lavish it. There are many such female clogs. One is my black little Gyp. wno is more than 10 years old and nev er has had any puppies, but who “mothers” every puppy born at Sunnybrook and is fiercely indig nant when she thinks these pups’ own mothers are neglecting them. Another such was Qu'uiie, a fox terrier I wrote of in an earlier ar ticle of this series. Quecnie discov ered a boxful of tiny kittens. She drove away their spitting and snarling mother and established bar self as dam of the entire feline brood until they were old enough to need no more coddling. There have been countless inci dents of the kind, including the zoo collie that adopted and nursed three baby leopards whose mother had deserted them, and another collie mother that served as nurse for a newborn monkey and a new born fox. Patches lived in Thomaston, Conn., the town with the clock fac tory, and a frightfully steep hill which motorists dread. She be longed to E. M. Blakeman. One of Mr. Blakeman’s other dogs, a flyaway young collie, bad five puppies. The time was winter. The weather was bitterly cold Dry warmth is what newborn animals of all kinds most need, especially baby collies. This careless young mother did not trouble to look after her babies at all. Four of the five died al most at once, though the Blake mans did everything they could to keep the poor little things alive, i A collie pup is the easiest or the hardest of all creatures to raise. Nobody seems to know why). The average female collie is a splendid mother. But this one was an exception. She seemed to feel no responsibility at all l'cr the care of her puppies, nor any special grief at the loss of four-fifths of them. She let them die through hcedless ness. And she showed no more in terest in the fifth than in the oth er four. as a result, wnen uns min pujj py was only three days old. it v.as lound lyin'* tar away from its flighty mother, cold and stiff and seemingly lifeless. Its body was dis tended and icy. There was no sign of life in it. Then it was that Patches came into the story. She had been keenly interested in the newborn collies, and had grieved lor their deaths as their own mother had not. She had hung around the broodnest, from the first, sniffling and whimpering. Now as the fifth puppy's body was brought Into the house. Patches followed closely. So, to see what she would do. the seemingly dead puppy was laid on the floor on a bit of blanket, and the humans moved away from it, leaving it ly ing there deserted. Instantly, Patches trotted over to the inanimate little creature and lay down beside it, where the warmth of her body could be com municated to it. Then, very gently, she seized the swollen and cold infant by the nape of the neck. Still gently but persistently, she proceeded to nip every inch of the little, body, in a queer form of mas saging. Up and down its spine she nibbled, over and over. Every now and then she would pause to breath hard into the pup py's stiffly open jaws. Then she would go back to that eternal mas saging process, back and forth, un iil she stoppt'd again long enough to blow her breath down the little throat. By this time thp humans were watching with puzzled excitement. But Patches paid no attention to them at all. No lifeguard ever worked so hard and incessantly and persistently over a drowning man as did the wire-haired fox-terrier— the childless “mother'-o'er that supposedly dead pup. As she worked. Patches curled her own body closely about the puppy's, to give it all the warmth she contained. For nearly half an Burnt Paper Used To Legalize Wi'l Somerville, Tenn.. — (UP) — Charred fragments of paper were used in chancery court to estab lish as legal a will destroyed by fire more than a year ago. After hearing testimony of sub scribing witnesses and viewing a number of fragments of paper al leged to have been parts of the will cf the late Wylie W. Wiggins, of Macon who died in September, 11131. Chancellor V. II. Hclmes hour she kept up her unceasing “first aid,'’ wholly undiscouraged by the victim's total lack of response. Then, at last, the nippy gasped feebly and spasmodically. The humans pressed forward, in credulous. But Patches still paid no heed to them. Haider than ever she continued to massage, and to blow her breath through the half-open jaws. The stiff little legs be^an to relax. The cold and swollen body of the pup began to soften and to as sume its natural form and pose, Said Mr. Blakeman, afterward, I concerning the miracle: "We who had been watching had 1 lumps in our throats!" That was the beginning. A soft and warm box was put in the kit chen. To this nest Patches carried the rescuscitated baby. There, day and night, she con tinued to care for it. She had saved its life. Now her tireiess attention kept the feeble little thing aiivc Several times a day, the real mo ther—the flyaway collie which had neglected her brood so inexcus ably—was brought into the kitchen to nurse her recovering baby. Patches resented these needful intrusions, even though she ap peared to understand how necessary they were. But as soon as the nurs ing was over and the collie was tak en away, she cuddled down in the box with the baby ind continued to lick it and to mother it. In less than a couple of months, the pup was able to fend for itself. By that time it had grown strong and fluffy and mischievous, and had 1 been weaned and had learned to eat bread and milk and beaten eggs. , But, until long after the age when a pup usually is no longer depend ent on its mother. Patches jealously guarded and tended the youngster she had brought back to life. She was supremely happy. She. the childless, at last had a puppy she could care for and fondle. By the way, Patches is the first dog I have heard of whose instinct taught her how to bring back a presumably dead puppy to life in such a manner. As a rule, dog mothers thrust aside a ouppy as soon as it seems dead, or even eat it in order to keep the broodnc&t clean. Perhaps in the back of Patches'* brain lurked some long forgotten canine instinct of the prehistoric days when wild dogs knew how to save (he lives of their puppies that seemed too far gone for recovery. The story is interesting, I think. And it is a pretty example of the mighty mother instinct—even in an animal to which motherhood was denied. Only Advertised Goods Profitable on Shelves Milwaukee, Wis. —(U.n)— Re tailers should stock only articles advertised locally by the manu facturer, Leslie M. Barton, Chi cago advertising and marketing expert told members of the Mil waukee advertising club. “The day of log profit, non advertised substitutes for well known merchandise is gone,” Barton said. "Because newspaper advertis ing never was more valuable to the retail merchant than it is to ! day,” Barton said, “every mer chant’s expenditures in advertising should involve a supi important enough to bear a more compara ble relationship to the operation of his business.” Enshrine School Built by “G.

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS WHEN TO PRUNE GRAPES Fpreharttledness is a niO; t desir able attribute in many of our daily tasks, but in matters horticultural it is quite often a decided Uadvlity if tne does a particular work with the sole object of making tha task, one more job completed. As the pt rio»t approaches, designated in the horticultural almanac as the time co do this or that, many Individuals arm themselves with the necessary equipment or tool, and get the job over with as soon as possible, i whether the insect to be controlled is at the best stage for effective results or whether growth activities have progressed sufficiently so that pruning may be done to the best advantage. The removal of grapes from the vine does not mark (he termination of activities within the vine tissues, but rather some growth processes quicken as soorr as the fruit is removed, while leaf tail is followed by other Internal changes. Under normal conditions as the fruit, of the vine attains the color chnr acterstlcs of the variety, the leaves yellow and then grown. They may remain at this latter stage lor jcverel days If the grapes are al lowed to hang. But oner the fruit Is removed the coloring of the leaves is hastened, un* 'oially they fall easily from the ranes even though no frost or freeze occurs. Up till this time the canes have been ra oldly hardening and the buds have aeen maturing. With the tail or me leaf, It is often taken for granted that now is the opportune trne r tile one that urinates during the ■nilking act by milking her in the stable before she enters the sale ring. It is of most vital import ance to give the cow a thorough ixamination before the sale, as ’•'ell ■us carefully considering her pedi gree. The catalogue may be marked before the sale to show which cows, that have suitable pedigrees, are also sound as regards their udders and apparently free from annoying stable vices. At a glance the ex perienced stockman can detect an uiiDaiancrn condition oi me uuun, and it will load him carefully to handle the quarter that appears to be abnormally small or large or discolored in any way. It is quite possible, by carefully handling every part of a cow’s udder, to de tect effects of a previous attack of garget, even when the udder ap pears to be perfectly normal. By handling the udders of a number of heifers and cows that are known to be perfectly sound in udder, one may become proficient in detecting by feel abnormal conditions in ud ders that have been affected by disease. The milk-secreting gland tissue is resilient and spongy, not meaty (fleshy* or hard In whole or in parts. A hard lump anywhere in the udder indicates a previous at tack of garget, and that attack will be likely to return worse than ever and eventually ruin the udder for sound milk production. Such a cow is also a menace in a herd, as is the three-teate.r cow, for infection from her udder may be carried to other cows by the mlker's hands or the teat, cuos of the milking ma chine. Hard lumps In the udder may alto be caused by tubercu losis. Before, buying a cow, look at the udder to detect abnormalities in size, shape, color, and conditon. If anything appears abnormal, the examination by feel should then be most carful and thorough. Not only handle every part of the udder but include, the teats to see that they are net too short or too long, and that thev arc free of warts, cuts, sores, cowpox papules, and addi tional interfering supernumerary or rudimentary teats.

Patents are given on plants dlffcr ng n somi eaaental from the var ieties already grown They are given only on plants propagated asexu ally such as by graft, layer or suck er. Plants propagated by seed, as wheat 01 tomatoes cannot be pat ented. It is difficult and expensive to build up a demaud for a new plant as it takes advertising and time. E me nurserymen grow only varieties for which the demand is establish* d. On the other hand there arc nurserymen who make a practice of introducing new fruits and orn mentals Some of these are on the lookout for unusual plants Sich nurserymen are willing to buy patents on plants or to pay a royalty for stock of the new vari eties v.

( MILKENS NLKD ROOM M wt difficulties and complica* tlois with coni d chicks aris* from overcrowding. Confined chick* require about twice as much roon: In the brooder house as when they arc permitted out on range most ot the day; for example, a lOxlS foot brooder house will accoinmo f'te only 200 chicks when confined v hereas It would serve for 300 tc f. 0 on free range. Chicks brooded : in confinement are more subject to the vices of feather picking and cannibalism especially when over crowded, This is probably the great est liability attending the proced ure When chicks are to be grown in confinement, the best of sani tary precautions need to be em ployed. In this precaution it is very necessary to place the feeding and drinking equipment on wire frames made of 1x4 s set edgewise and covered with 'j-inch mesh hardware cloth. Then, when any feed is wasted if the drinking ves sel leaks, or if some water or milk I is spilled on the floor, the chicks do not hava occess to it Many out breaks of coccidiosis have been ; traced to leaky drinking vessel or to water or milk having been spilled i on the floor. Screen floors are I sometimes put in the brooder | houses for better sanitation and to avoid having to clean as often, but | chicks on wire floors are more sub ject to leather picking and canni balism than when they have ac cess to floor litter. One experi ment station has found that a par tial solution to this problem la to leave a space about 4 feet, wide across the front of the brooder house unscreened and covered with I straw litter. It is believed that many poultry raisers will find this modi fication more satisfactory than to screen the entire floor. It has been frequently demonstrated that by special management chicks can be raised successfully in conflne I ment. However, this method is not , suggested for the poultry raiser who has not experienced serious disease and parasitic complications which can be attributed to contaminated range, or when a clean range is conveniently available.
