WHY
Is a Black Sheep?-And
Some Other Whys
Why la there a black heep Id every

Because sheep, In their early domes

black, and because nature occasionally
"barks back" or revert to early type

Why ha the umiel gut a hump?

MAKES WOOD MORE DURABLE
How New Proces Work I Explained
by Consular Official. In Copen
hagen, Denmark.
To prepare the cheaper kind of
woods by a patented method that
makes them more durable Is tbe pur
pose of a concern just organized In
Koge, Denmark, according to the com
mercial attache In Copenhagen.
The woods especially to be prepared
are birch, ash and elm, all wood treat
ed by this process behig called teakin
wood. ;
Certain changes In the character of
the wood that normally take place
only after many years of drying are by
this chemical process produced within
24 hours. Thereafter, when the mois
ture that may still be left haa evapor
ated, .the wood become' harder and
more durable than by the aging proc
es. . '
Teakin birch I of a beautiful golden
brown color and when polished with
potash It takes on a mahogany red
line. Teakin ash Is a substitute for
teak. Teakin elm has none of the dis
advantages of natural elm. Teakin fir
Is of a uniform, color all through and
Is used for office fitting and furniture
and for veneering.
VI ow to Exterminate Pest.
Rats In the United States cause an
annual loss amounting to millions of
dollars. Among food products that
suffer, grain In storage Is perhaps the
most Important. Buildings under proc
ess of construction and intended to
hold grain should be made rat and
mouse proof; and elevators and other
structures already built, should be re
enforced agnlnst the pests, says F. L.
Washburn, . economic soologlst at Wis
consin University farm.
A bulletin on the extermination of
rats and mice, written by Mr. Wash
burn, may be had wltfiout charge on
application to the office of publications.
University Farm." "Uses of Concrete
on the Farm," bulletin 461, Issued by
the United States department of agri
culture, gives details for the use of
concrete In preventing losses by rats
and mice. This bulletin Is also for
free distribution. Application for It
should be made to'the division of pub

How Russia Is Suffering.
If the people who stand In queues
for one single day in Russia were
queued In tne queue, they'd go seven
times around the world and get as far
ns Peoria Jen the eighth lap. I sup
pose my most vivid Impression of rev
olutionary Russia Is that of an endless
line of ttred, hungry, disheartened
people. In ; America a queue means
something that Chinamen used to
wear before! Japan hecame emplrialls
tlc. In Russia a queih) means the only
road that leads anywhvre and to any
thing. People stand In llir for hours
on end to draw their pitiful rations of
i quarter otr a half-pound of sou(black
bread ; they stand on" one footVnd
then on the other, and then move up a
foot In order to buy a pair pf shoe"
strings. And if they want to start on
a railroad Journey on, let us say, Fri
day? they begin queuing alopg some
time around Monday, Exchange.

WHITE LEGHORN IS POPULAR
Most Widely Kept of Egg Breeds
Market Prefer Whit Eggs and
Pay Premium for Them,
(Prepared by the United State Depart-
j ment of Agriculture.)
.Egg production doubtless.it the
leading branch of. poultry keeping;,
and. In addition, It a Very Important
agricultural activity. According to the
last census the eggs produced in the
United States In 1909 numbered more
than 1,591,000,000 . doiens, with a
value of more than 1306,000,000. Eggs,
of course, are produced wherever
chickens are kept, and by far the
greater part of the egg crop comes
from the general farm, yet large so
called egg farms have been developed
with the main purpose cf producing
eggs for market. The largest of these
egg farms and the greater number of
them are located near markets which
pay a premium for white eggs; and
for this reason, together with the fact
that eggs are primarily desired, the
breeds kept are those known as the
Splendid Flock pf White Leghorn.
egg breeds, such its the Leghorn,
Camptne, Minorca and Ancona. The
Single Comb White Leghorn Is un
doubtedly the most popular and the
most widely kept variety of tbe egg
breeds. These V breeds comprise
the Mediterranean and Continental
classes, as given in the American
Standard of Perfection. The egg
breeds frequently are found on gen
eral farms also, particularly in those
sections .near markets preferring
white egg, and where considerable!
flocks of poultry are kept - ;
