requires patience, painstaking rare,
perseverance, Judgment, and cleanli

receptacles for the milk and Irregular
Intervals for feeding likely will cause
scours. The quarters should be very
clean and tbs orphaned foal ahould

foal Is desirable, hnt even a calf Is
better than no company. A grassy

Man Enjoying Whst Is Known aa
Usufruct Has Btnsflts snd Re
sponsibility Undr Law.
Our word usufruct Is derived from
two Latin word usus, use, and fruo
tus, fruit. The Latins combined tbem
Into usufructus, the equivalent of our
word usufruct which is a term of
law, especially of the Roman low and
of those systems baaed on Itoman low.
Usufruct Is the right of enjoying
things belonging to another, aud of
drawing from tbein all the profit and
advantage they will produce without
destroying or wasting their substance.
One title of the civil code of the
province of Quebec deals with usu
fruct This right may be established
by law or by the will of man. A sim
ple example would he this: A person
wills the ownership of a farm to a
son, but the usufruct to a brother for
his lifetime. The brother enters at
once upon the enjoyment of his usu
fruct aud Is cal(led the usufructuary.
He cultivates the farm and take the
revenue, subject', to the obligation of
making ordinary repairs. He must
use the property a a prudent, Indus
trious man would do, without Impair
ing the capital. The usufruct of
stocks would consist of the enjoyment
of the dividends, or of a sum of money
the usufruct would consist of the In
tercut earned thereon. Mont real Herald.

CAMPAIGN FOR BETTER SIRES
OLD TANNERS DID GOOD WORK
Bishop W. H. Lainbutb, In charge
of the Methodist missions in North
China, where 4S.000.000 are faced with
atarvation as the result of a diastrous
flood followed by two seasons of
drouth, says:
"Their clothes are ragged and
scanty. Tbelr ouly food Is a gruel
made of weeds, leaves, chaff and corn
cobs. One cold night in January In
one refugee camp alone, one thousand
of these starved, weakened human
creatures froxe to death. What is to
be done must be done within the next
five mouths, yes, within the next two
or three mouths. Otherwise millions
will perish."
The death rate In the faiulne sec
tion is estlmntcd at 15,000 dally, with
typhus and other dlBeases beginning
to rage. The only hope of the derail
ing millions is In food supplies pro
vided In tremendous quantities by thfc
people of the United Stntra.
Lettuce and Conversation.
Lettuce, to roe Is a most Interesting
study. It Is like conversation ; It must
be fresh and crisp, so sparkling that
you scarcely notice the bitter In It. Like
most talkers lettuce is apt to run rap
Idly to seed. Messed Is that kind that
comes to a head, and so remains, like a
few people I know, growing more satis
factory aud at tlie same time whiter
In the center and more crisp. Lettuce,
like conversation, requires a good deal
of oil, to avoid friction, and keep the
company smooth ; a plncb of salt, a
dash of pepper, a bit of mustard and
vinegar, but so mixed there will be no
sharp contrasts.
I feel that I am with the best society
when I am with lettuce. It la in the
select circle , of vegetables. Charles
DuOley Warner.
Twenty-Toad Elephants In Demand.
Twenty-toed elephant! are held In
veneration throughout India, and are
keenly nought by all the rajas and
mahnrsjns for the prosperity they
are supposed to bring, says Charlea
.Mayer, In Aula Magazine. They are
guarded more carefully and quartered
eveu more sumptuously than the
white elephants of Slam, and the price
tiiey will bring Is determined altno-t
entirely by the nmouut the rajas can
gather together.

bead of live stock and poultry were j
enrolled by 4W owner, iu the "Better '
Siren-Better Stock" campaign now In j
progress to Improve the quality of do- ,
niestlc animals in the lulled States. !
This is a large lucreaxe over the mi in- i
ber enrolled during the previous guar-
ler. Of the stock limed, 6,379 were '
males aud, In accordance with the
provisions of the campaign, all these
were purebred. The female stock
numbered 87,70:!, and the owners have
pledged themselves to breed tliis. shock
to purbred sires only.
The county showing greatest sctlv-1
ity iu the campaign tor better live
stock during the quarterly period was
Saline county, Neb. Next In order j
are Stafford county, Vs. J Tippecanoe
county, liid. ; l'ulaskl county, Va. ; ;
Fauquier count), Vs., and Plaite ,
county, Neb. Craig county, , Va., ,
-iauds out as the principal county, i
since the beginning of the campaign, '
in which there appears to be a stroug !
tendency for crossbreeding. During
the quarter - Just ended IT "Better
Sires-Better Stock" emblems were
Issued to live stock owners In Craig
county and all of them owned cross
breds. Croasbred animals were Im
partially distributed among all class
es of stock, including poultry.
The records of the better-sire cam
paign continue to show that persons
using purebred aires for all classes of
animals owned have a large number
of purebred females as well. In fact,
of the 87,703 females recorded during
the last quarter 61,504 were purebred. I
The remainder, arranged according to i
number, were grades, crossbred, and 1
scrubs. i
Significant figures In the progress of '
the nation-wide campaign to Increase
the use of purebred sires are the fol-1
lowing:
I'p to December 81, 1920, the total I
number of persons enrolled was 3,243. '
Of these 1,075 are In Virginia, which
Is the highest state in number of en- ;
roilments, and 446 are in Pulaski
county, Va., which retains Its place
as the foremost county.

Otfjrlnnlly skins were cured by "Im
ply cleaning and drying. Then It was
found the texture of the lent her was
Improved by the use of smoke, sour
milk, various oils and the brains of
anlmnls themselves. Later It was dis
covered that certnln astringent barks
snd vegetables effected permanent
clmnire In the texture of skins and
stopped decay. The ancient Egyptians
possessed this knowledge, for engrav
ings on their tombs depict the process
of tanning. In Chins specimens of
lent her have been discovered In com
puny with other relics that prove tbem
to be more than 8.000 years old. The
Romans nsed leather which they
tanned with oil. alum and bark. Early
explorers In America found the In
dians wearing skins prepared with

No Improvement In the general
methods of preparing leather look
place from the most primitive times
until about 17! iO, when the use of ilme
to loosen the hair was Introduced. Ry

which the tanning process could be

these experiments was John Burridge,

As regards quality of the female

are purebred. Grade female stock
ranks highest with horses, sheep, and

PROPER EXERCISE FOR SIRES
Many Valuable Animals Are Injured
by Being Kept Continuously
Confined to Barn.
Animals used for sires on the farm
should be given an opportunity to ex
ercise properly. Many valuable ani
mals are kept continuously in a barn
in winter and become Injured merely
from lack of opportunity to exercise.
FEED SHEEP SOME ROUGHAGE
Animals Are Fond of Silage, Foddsr,
Hay snd Pasture Grass Need
Some Concentrates.
Sheep are well adapted to grazing,
as their stomachs will hold much
roughage. They have an appetite for
such feeds as silage, fodder, hay and
pasture grass, but cannot chrlva with
out some concentrates.
Hag Fattening Food.
Oats do not make a very satisfac
iory fattening food for hogs. Tank
age would make a much more satisfac
tory and cheaper food to feed in con
nection with com.
