What do you think of the man whom
you see driving a horse with his tail
docked to seven inches, perfectly help
less against the attack of flies during
these hot days?
There is a great deal of humanity
in axle grease.
Have you ever noticed that the first
thing your horse does when you turn
him out of the stable in the morning
Is to go straight to the watering
trough?
Contrary to the general belief, it
does not hurt a horse to give him
water in moderate quantities even
when he is very hot, providing the
water is not very cold.
Never salt the horse's feed in the
box. Place a big lump where he can
reach it and he will take it when he
needs it.
The long halter strap in the stall
has been the cause of permanent in
jury to many animals.
A "cheap” harness is really about
the most expensive thing on the farm,
as It sometimes costs life.
| The well-bred draft horse is always
; in demand, and the farmer who breeds
i it constantly in the one who makes
the most profit in horses.
! The patient mule is not much for
j speed, but he keeps going, and usually
j arrives on time.
i A mule never seems to be really
j frightened at anything. When he
j runs away he does it through pure
i love of mischief.
A mule scents danger almost as
unerringly as the elephant.
Ever know a mule to step in a hole
i or venture upon an unsound bridge

No white man can ever get on as

I can.

VALUE OF POTATO
TO FATTEN PIGS
Expert at Eastern Oregon Ex
periment Station Gives Re
sults of Test.
(By ROBERT WITHYCOMB of Eastern
Oregon Experiment Station.)
An experiment to test the feeding
value of raw or steamed potatoes as
supplementary feed with a grain ra
tion has been carried on with inter
esting results.
The hogs in the experiment were di- :
vided ’ into eight lots and records of ‘
the different feed given each and the i
proportionate gains made were kept j
carefully. Each hog in lots 1 and 2 |
ate an average of 170.1S pounds of 1
barley ana 509.53 pounds of raw po
.tatoes, making a gain in weight of,
60.70 pounds. Those in lots 3 and 4 '
ate 110.30 pounds of . barley and
663.76 pounds steamed potatoes, and
made a gain of 70.60 pounds, while
those in lots 5 and 6 ate 1S8.60
pounds barley and 564.80 pounds
steamed potatoes and made a gain of
78.10 pounds. Lots 7 and 8 ate 300.10
pounds barley without potatoes and
made a gain of 69.5 pounds.
The last two lots, fed barley alone,
were used as a check on the others to
show more definitely the proportion
ate value of the potatoes. At the
present market value of 7 cents a
pound live weight, the hogs fed barley '
made a $3.87 gain, which makes the
barley feeding value $1.62 to the hun
dred.
Lots 1 and 2 fed barley and raw
potatoes at the rate of three pouutts
of potatoes to a pound of barley, made
a $4.25 gain, which gives the raw
potatoes a feeding value of 29 cents
to the hundred. Lots 3. and 4 receiv
ing six times as much steamed pota
toes as barley, made a $4.94 gain,
giving the steamed potatoes a feeding
value of 47 cents to the hundred.
Lots 5 and 6 fed three times as much
steamed potatoes as barley, made a
$5.47 gain, making the feeding value
of the potatoes 42 cents to the hun
dred.
It Is noticeable that those fed six
times as much potatoes as grain did
not make quite the gain made by the
others, but it required 85.25 pounds
less barley to make this gain, so the
difference in feeding value is ac
counted for.
It is also noteworthy thai the steam
potatoes are worth 13 cents more to
the hundred than raw for feeding, as
shown in the comparison of the gain
of animals fed the 3-to-l ration.
Ducks Are Hardy.
Ducks, as a rule, are hardy. They
do not have the gapes. The weakest
part of\a duck iB its legs. Indigestion
la apt to show Itself in the young if
the coarse sand is omitted in the food.
It is always best to put a handful of
sand in a pail of mash food, mixing it
thoroughly. This will aid digestion.
The oily nature of the feathers makes
the ducklings vermin proof. Expos
ure to hot suns is fatal. There should
always be a partial shade to the runs.
Yearling Hens.
Do not be in a hurry to sell off the
good yearling hens. At these prices
of grain and eggs, it will pay to keep
them another season if there is room
without overcrowding the young stock.
A few bags of meat scraps will-make
them shell out liberally until snow
flies, and in the spring they will begin
again and lay then almost as well as
the pullets. Even the two-year-olds
of known laying qualities should more
than pay their way another year, es
pecially if they are pure bred, and if

CAUSE OF GAPES
IN THE POULTRY
To Eradicate Disease Birds Af
fected Should Be Isolated
and Treated.
(By H. L. KEMPSTER of Missouri Sta
tion.)
Gapes is a disease affecting certain
birds, fowls, and particularly chicks
one to four weeks old. It is caused
by a small worm, called the gape
worm, which attaches itself to the
windpipe of its victim.
The symptoms are frequent gaping,
sneezing, a whistling cough, with dis
charge of mucus and worms, dump
ishness, weakness and drooping of
wings. Dead birds will show forked
worms attached to the windpipe.
The adult female gape worm Is
much larger than the male, her body
being filled with eggs and embryos, j
These embryos appear in the drop
pings or are coughed up. So the ‘
trouble is spread by contamination
of runs, feed and drinking water.
Embryos are often found in earth
worms.
To eradicate the disease, isolate af
fected birds, treat drinking water
with potassium permangnate; burn
dead birds, and remove chicks to
fresh ground which is not infected.
Cultivation of infected ground is
said to .eradicate the worms in three
years.
Individual cases may be treated in
one of three ways:
By confining the chick for a short
time in a box which has air-slake.d
lime on the floor. The lime is said to
cause the worm to release its grip,
and the chick to sneeze it out.
Stripping a feather, leaving a small
tuft, moistening with turpentine and
introducing into the windpipe, care
being taken not to lacerate the wind
pipe or suffocate the chick.
Two horse hairs tied together, the
knot trimmed, run down the chick
en's throat, and removing in a twist
ing manner, will also remove the
worms. Gape worm extractors are
also on the market.

Lost Baby Brings Professor to
Realization of His Own
Helplessness.
By GEORGE MUNSON.
“I don’t know what can be the mat
ter with me, Miss Johnson,” said Pro
fessor Barry to his housekeeper as she
handed him his morning coffee. ‘‘I
think I must be growing old.”
“O, come, professor, you old at forty
five!” replied Miss Johuson, laughing.
“What you want is to get married.”
“Get married,” repeated the profes
sor absently, as though the idea had
never occurred to him. "Why, who
would want to marry an old fogy like
me?”
“Some might,” retorted Miss John
son, tossing her head, and for the first
time the professor wondered why Miss
Johnson, with her strong, capable
hands and warm heart had never mar
ried.
Miss Johnson came every day to at
tend to the professor’s needs. He was
instructor in Latin at the college;
Miss Elizabeth Johnson was the
daughter of a fellow professor who, had
died impoverished. She was not pret
ty, but she was a universal favorite,
and she was treated as a social equal
by everybody in spite of the menial
work she did. Miss Johnson might
have been thirty-five.
“If ever I got married," mused the
professor, as he wandered in the di
rection of the town, “I should want a
wife with light brown hair, blue eyes,
2. pleasant but not necessarily beauti
ful face, and of a stature five feet four
or five feet six. She should be a good
cook and fond of children, always
good-tempered and—why, bless me.”
He blushed as he hurried along the
street, for it had suddenly occurred
to him that he was describing Miss
Johnson.
“But I didn’t mean anything. I as
sure you.” he explained absently to
himself.
“Please don’t mention it,” said a
pleasant female voice in his ear. and
r-r—ii f < i

“It Isn’t His.”
the professor started in surprise, to
see that he was looking into the face
of a comely young woman who carried
a baby.
"I assure you no harm has been
done,” she said. “So if you will kindly
hold my little girl while I look for it,
everything will come out all right.”
And she thrust a blinking bundle into
his arms.
Professor Barry had never he'd a
oaby in his life and would have indig
nantly declined, but his arms went out
instinctively, and a moment later he
found himself holding the bundle,
while the mother disappeared into the
midst of the shopping crowd and was
lost to view almost immediately.
“Now I wonder what it was that 1
did,” suggested the professor to him
self, but there was no answer forth
coming. It must have been something
dreadful to have merited this penalty
The bundle was becoming uncommon
ly heavy, and, what was worse, the lit
tle face suddenly screwed up and a
wail of extraordinary intensity came
from it.
"Hush, hush, baby." implored the
professor, dandling the infant. “Go to
Bleep like a good boy—I mean girl.
Mother will come by and by.”
Apparently this prospect did not act
as a soothing incentive for the baby
began to howl louder than ever. A
little crowd had formed around the
professor and was regarding him with
manifest interest. A small boy jeered
at him.
“Ah, take him home,” suggested a
ribald spectator. “Where did you get
it?”
"It isn't his," exclaimed a woman
with a shopping face, who stood near
the speaker.
“He’s stolen it,” suggested another
lady.
“Kidnaper,” yelled another woman
and promptly fainted.
“He’s Black Dan, the thousand-dol
lar child-stealer," somebody yelled,
and those on the outskirts of the
crowd set up a yell of rage and surged
forward toward the victim, while those
nearest him, who understood the con
ditions of the case, not wishing to take
part in the impending riot, quickly dis
appeared, leaving the professor at the
mercy of the hostile mob.
Happily at this juncture a policeman
came pushing through the crowd.
“What’s all this?” he demanded.
“Hey, there. Whose child is that?”
“It belongs to a woman,” stammered
Professor Barry. “I don’t know her.”
“He’s stolen it,” shrieked an irate
lady as she broke her umbrella upon
the professor’s hat.
“Gimme the child.” said the police
man, taking the screaming and fright
ened baby from the professor’s arms.
"Certainly,” said the professor cor
dially, divesting himself of his bur
den happily and turning to dodge out
of the crowd.
“Hey, where are you going?” cried
ihe policeman. "You're coming wlth(
me. It’s going to be a cell for you.”
“But a woman gave it to me,” plead-'
ed Professor Barry dismally. The,
mental picture of imprisonment proved
overwhelming. He saw himself dis
graced, expelled from the society of,
his freinds, thrown out of the college.
"Oh, for five minutes of Miss John
son!"
“Tell that to the judge. Are you
coming quietly, or—”
Suddenly the crowd parted, as waves
ere cut by a keel, and then, quietly,
placidly, without the least effort, and
perfectly coolaud collected, Miss John
son appeared at the policeman’s side.
“It’s ail right,” she said, smiling.,
“Just a mistake, Frank. This is Pro
fessor Barry of whom I have often told
you.”
“Then what's he doing with a
strange baby, miss?” inquired the po
liceman dubiously.
“Why, you foolish man, it isn’t a
strange baby, it’s your baby,” said’
Miss Johnson, smiling. “Don't you
know your own child?”
“My Bessie!” exclaimed the police
man, and would have dropped it had
not Miss Johnson deftly caught it. “It
must be. I remember them shoes.
How did he get it? Where's my Polly
and why isn’t she here?”
As he looked round helplessly a
young woman struggled through the
crowd and snatched the child hysteric
ally from Miss Johnson's arms, kissing
and murmuring over it.
“My baby,” she cried. "I left her
with the saleswoman, Frank, and she
gave her to the wrong woman. Thank
God I’ve found her.”
“There you see the explanation,"
said Miss Johnson. “The woman
couldn't resist taking her, and then
she was afraid to restore her, so she
gave her to Professor Barry because
he looked absent-minded. Professor,
Frank Hitchius is the son of my land
lady.”
Profesor Barry, too stupefied to an
swer, suffered himself to be led away
through the dissolving crowd and
half and hour later Miss Johnson de
posited him at the door of his house.
"Now I guess you can take care of
yourself, professor,” she said smiling.
The professor’s arms went up just as
the baby's had done, and he caught
Miss Johnson by the sleeve.
"No, I can’t,” he said. “I want
somebody to take care of me for life.
That's what is the matter with me.
I want you. Miss Johnson—I mean
Elizabeth. Will you?”
Miss Johnson signified that sha
would.

TIGER FAILED IN HIS PART
Youthful Hypnotist Might Have Suc
ceeded, but Savage Brute Refused
to Lend Aid.
"Jack the Lion Tamer,” a ten-year
old boy who got the notion that he
could subdue the wildest of wild
beasts by looking them in the eye,
had a narrow escape from serious in
jury in the Central park menagerie at
New York when he tried to hypnotize
Dick, the savage Siberian tiger.
Dick was lying near the iron bars
of the outer cage when the young lion
tamer came along. The boy had been
caught pulling a lien's tail several
times this summer and had been
warned of the danger.
He got inside the railing, approach
ing the tiger's cage, and put a hand
and arm between the bars. Then he
called to Dick as he would to a dog,
while looking him in the eyes.
The big tiger hasn’t lost any of his
savage nature since arriving at the
park, and when he saw the arm in
his cage his muscles stiffened for
action. His ears went back and his
lips curled. A group of men stood
near, but no one warned the boy of
his peril.
The lad thought he had the beast
subdued and was bringing his hand
closer and closer. Keeper George
Sichert happened to go outside and.
seeing the situation, grabbed the boy
by the collar and pulled him back just
as the tiger leaped toward the boy’s
hand.
One of Dick's claws tore the boy's
index finger. The keeper gave him a
lecture and expelled him from the
menagerie.
Why Poison Ivy Is Poisonous.
Poison ivy has long been a myster
both to scientists and laymen; why
and in what manner it causes the pe
culiar raeh and irritating inflammation
have puzzled both botanists and phy
sicians. At last the reason has been
discovered. Doctor Mirande of Paris
read to the academy of sciences in
that city recently the result of his
study of the poisonous weed.
Poison ivy contains pruesic acid
This is found principally in the young
leaves and buds; in older leaves there
is very little of it.
In three and one-half ounces of
young leaves there is about a quarter
of a grain of the acid.
As in other plants in which prussic
acid is found, the poisonous substance
does not exist in its perfect form, but
developes as soon as the leaves are
bruised, a chemical action being set
up through the union of an enzyme
with a glucosid.
Got Even With Her.
A few days ago two young ladles
entered a trolley car and found only
standing room.
"I’m going to get a seat,” said one
to her companion. “Now, you see!”
Selecting a sedate-looking gentle
man, she walked up to him.
"My dear Mr. Green," she exclaim
ed. “How delighted I am to met you!
You are almost a stranger. Will I ac
cept your seat? Well, I do feel tired,
I admit. Thank you so much.”
The man rose. “Sit down, Jane, my
girl,” said he, as he courteously point
ed to the vacant seat. "I don’t often
see you out on a washing day. You
must feel tired, I’m sure. How’s your
mistress?”—National Monthly.
Catching the Pose.
“I guess that boy Joah o’ mine will
make a reg’lar golf player one o*
these days.”
“Has he taken up the game?”
“Not yet. But I’ve watched him at
work an’ I’ve noticed that whenever
he's ’specially Interested In some
thin’ he Jes’ naturally stands pigeon

Hallroom Library.
One woman has converted a hall
room into the daintiest of tiny li
braries. On one side is a set of
shelves for books. The walls are
covered with blue damask of very
delicate shade. The ceiling is blue,
with a conventional pattern of white
trailing vines drooping gracefully
down to half-length. The rug is delft
blue, and the room contains one chair
upholstered in delft-blue brocade. A
small mahogany table holds a tele
phone and a blue and brass writing
outfit. A small lamp hangs from the
center of the ceiling, and it has a blue
and rose glass shade with crystal pen
dants. When lighted, it throws a
beautiful glow over the little reading
room.
Bright Buttons.
Buttons come in solid colors, in bril
liant reds, blues, vivid greens and yel
lows, with novelty tones 6uch as terra
cotta, flame and reds of the Pompeiian
order. The tones are sometimes soft
ened by a tracing of dull gold in Chi
nese or Japanese characters. This
tracing is sometimes in black. The re
sult is bo good as to indicate a great
vogue for these buttons.
Galalith copies of the striped china
buttons which have been so fashion
able tbis summer are being brought
out for fall, and have already been
heavily ordered.
A continuation of the vogue of the
button in one color, showing circles in
a bright shade, may be expected.
For Tight Shoes.
Summer is the Beason above all
others when one’s shoes seem to hurt,
and this year one looks in horror at
the rows of patent leather ones that
are brought out in the exclusive shops,
but true, these may be worn with com
fort if one will shake a little powdered
alum into the toe of her shoe before
going out Do not put it inside the
stocking, merely inside the shoe.
| EYEBROWS NEED CARE
Add So Much to the General
Charm That No Woman Can
Afford to Neglect Them.
It is an acknowledged fact that pret
ty brows add much to the general
charm, and it is odd that women ex
pect to enjoy this feature at its best
when they do not take care of it. They
would not expect either teeth, nails or
hair to grow in perfection were they
not taken care of, and the same applies
to the eyebrows. They need massag
ing and shaping frequently. Failing
in this, there will be scraggy lines or
coarse, projecting hairs, the latter one
of the most conspicuous disfigurements
a woman can have.
I have often noticed women with ap
parently good hair, teeth and complex
ion entirely unmindful of the fact that
the eyebrows were sticking out in all
directions. A woman is greatly repaid
for the few seconds she spends when
her toilet is complete in shaping her
eyebrows by the improvement in her
general appearance.
The correct shape of a pretty eye
brow should be like a swallow’s wing,
and to give them the broad, yet curved
effect, begin at the end nearest the
nose, stroke, as if the brows are in
clined to be too broad, pinch together
with the thumb and fingers in a
straight line to the place where the
natural curve starts. At that point
there should be a downward stroke
that will point the hairs in the right
direction.
some eyes are ennanced by a broad
line, while others look better with a
delicately penciled effect of the eye
brow; this, of course, depends upon
the shape and contour of the face.
So that in getting this straight line
over the eyes an effect of width most
becoming to the face is given, while
the downward line finishes off in all
cases to a tapering point.
For massaging where the encour
agement of a growth of hair is de
sired, I very much like vaseline be
cause so much of the crude and natu
ral properties has not been extracted
from it as is done in the refining proc
ess of other creams, but for those who
do not care for it the following may
be used instead and will promote the
growth of both brows and lashes.
One-half ounce of oil of sweet al
monds, 12 drops each of oil of rose
mary and oil of nutmeg, and a quar
ter of an ounce of tincture of can
thardies. These Ingredients, being all
liquid, are easily mixed, and a two or
three ounce bottle is large enough.
Shake well, and it is ready for use.
If the brows are naturally thin and
it is desired to improve the growth,
a quinine tonic may be necessary, and
for this I find that two ounces of al
cohol mixed with ten grains of sul
phate of quinine and massaged once
a day into the roots makes a decided
improvement.
No matter from what cause the
brows become thinned, never cut them
with the idea that it will improve the
growth. Good and faithful massage is
the only thing that will help. Cutting
will only coarsen them and they may
become stiff and bristly after being
cut. However, the eyelashes may have
an infinitesimal portion clipped from
each one about every three or four
months. This must be done very
carefully and when the clipping is fin
ished anoint the base of the lashes
with a very minute portion of cafeput
oil, putting it on with a fine camel’s
hair brush.
Kerchief Scent.
To perfume handkerchiefs break up
a quarter of an ounce of orris root
and tie up in a piece of muslin. Boll
with the handkerchief for a quarter
of an hour, using about three pints
of water to a quarter ounce of orris
root. When dry iron carefully and
you will find your handkerchiefs will
rethin a delicate violet odor.

FOR CULVERTS AND BRIDGES
Steel and Concrete Combined Consti
tute Form of Construction Eco
nomical and Durable.
(By C. H. MOORITELD.)
A combination of steel and concrete
made in such a manner that each ma
terial will be required to withstand
the character of stress for which it is
best adapted—that is, tension for steel
and compression for concrete—consti
tute a form of construction for short
bridges and culverts both economical
and durable. The advantages of the
two materials are combined and their
disadvantages in a large degree elimi
nated.
This form of construction, on ac
count of its economy and simplicity, is
especially well suited to highway cul
verts and short span bridges, when for
any reason it is desirable that their
superstructures be kept flat. In the
case of arch culverts and bridges built

of concrete the economy of introduc
ing steel is not always evident and
should be demonstrated in any partic
ular case before it is decided that the
arch must be reinforced.
The conditions to be met in the con
struction of reinforced concrete cul
verts make it desirable, from a stand
point of economy, that a relatively
high grade of concrete be used. Any
decrease in the strength of the con
crete necessitates a coresponding in
crease in some dimension of the mem
bers. and thereby adds to the dead
load which the structure must sustain.
Reinforcing bars should be made
from steel having a safe strength of
not lessj, than 16,000 pounds per square
inch, and should possess sufficient
malleability to be readily bent into the
desired shapes while cold. When
placed in concrete they should be free
from rust, grease or foreign materials
of any kind, otherwise a perfect bond
between the bars and the concrete will
not be obtained.
Designers of highway bridge and
drainage structures are urged not only
to investigate the safety and dura
i bility of proposed designs, but to con
sider their esthetic features as well
When bridges and culverts are to be
constructed of permanent materials,
such as reinforced concrete, the de
signer should bear constantly in mind
the fact that any esthetic defects
which may be present in such struc
tures will become more and more ap
parent as the community develops.
For example, a highway bridge, the
defects of which are hardly noticeable
when the highway on each side is bor
dered by dilapidated fences and build
ings may become a veritable eyesore

ir these features of the landscape are
sufficiently improved. A design may
be in excellent taste, however, and
yet be almost totally devoid of orna
mentation. A few simple panels and
copings are usually sufficient to lend
an attractive appearance to masonry
bridges, provided the planes of the
wing walls, parapets, etc., are In
proper relation to each other and to
the roadway.
Earth Roads Cheap.
The earth road will doubtless be
used in rural communities for many
years, because of Us low first cost
The ever-recurring problem of upkeep
on such a road can be solved very
largely by the use of the split-log drag.
Money Wasted.
It Is money wasted to spend It for
dragging a road that Is not piked
enough so there Is a ditch on either
side of the roadway. Better grade

ging afterwards.
Guard Against Weevils.
All weeds and rubbish should be
cleared away from alfalfa fields,
ditches and fence rows so there will
be no opportunity for weevils to find
winter shelter.
