THE TID D LY-W IN K G A ZELLE The Tiddly-Wink Gazelle is a beast with feet of shell, And his feet make click-click noises as they travel: For h4 snaps himself around, over any sort of ground, Without a stop, hippety-hop, through mud, or sand, or gravel. It is often told of him, that to keep his snappy vim, He only eats things made up round and flat. He craves dimes and peppermints, and auto wheels and flints, And tiddly-winks and other things like that. When he means to make a jump, he gives his back a hump, And he puts his flattened hind feet on his fore, Then he wrinkles up his nose, and as you may ju3t suppose, Into the sky, he sails as high, as any kite can soar.

This factor should also he considered by the hog men who Intend to show at the fairs. Vertical. l T o yield the greatest profit a brood sow should produce two litters a year. In the northern states where the win ters are severe, most farmers only get one litter of pigs from ineir sows a year and timt Is the spring Utter. But in the South where the winters are mild' the sows should be so man- aged as to produce two litters a year. The sows should he bred so that they will farrow in the spring, and in the fall when the weather Is not too hoi nor too cold. The early fall pigs will get a start before the cold weather sets In, and the spring pigs before the weather becomes hot. The history o f one year o f a sow’s life should show approximately the following record, according l o A . L .

It has the consistency of cer tain varieties of cantaloupe when the latter Is in the ripening stage and has yellow meat. The fruit grows trees somewhat after the manner of coconuts, with sometimes a dozen of them, bell shaped, growing closely to gether. Hawaiian* accord the pnpaia an Im portant place in their domestic dietary because o f the beneficial qualities o f the Juice, from which Is obtained papain, an intermediary between pep sin and trypsin. In Its f^gestive ac tion it* resembles the gastric and pan creatic secretions of the human or ganism. The white powder *nade from the Juice is used In the treatment of diphtheria and In case* o f gastric dis orders.

Thottgli the date palm Is commonly thought o f as a desert plant, Its roots must he constantly kept wet In the marshy soil o f the oasis in which it grows. The greatest depth at which gold has as yet heen excavated from the earth is 4,200 feet (m ore than three- fourths of a mile), at the New Chums mine In Australia. The farmers In one township in the state o f Washington have agreed to standardize their stock-raising by the adoption o f one standard breed for each kind o f animal handled. One serious enemy of the sheep Is the stomach worm found in many pas- tures. More than one breeder has had to go out of sheep because they did not do well on his pastures and were troubled with worms. With sheep, as at present, one of the most valuable animals on the farm, this pest of worms demands attention, for they can be controlled. For the removal of these pests, the copper sulphate (bluestone or blue vitriol) treatment has proved effective In tests made on Infested flocks. Tw o ounces of fresh- ly powdered crystals of copper sul phate are thoroughly dissolved In one gallon of water and administered ns follow s: For a lamb three months old, two-thirds fluid ounce or 20 c c .; for a lamb six months old twice this amount; for a sheep one year old two fluid ounces or Go e.c., and for a sheep two years old or over three fluid ounces. The solution should be pre pared In a glass, wooden or earthen ware vessel and must be kept thor oughly mixed while In use. It Is lm portant that the dose be accurately measured, using a glass graduate or graduated drenching bottle. In tests made at experiment stations 89 per cent of the stomach worms hnvt been removed by treatment. However, In order that It nmy he effective, di rections must be followed carefully and the sheep and lambs kept away from feed and water for 18 hours be fore and six hours nfter treatment. The experiments nlso show that rota tlon of pastures aids materially In re ducing infestation. Hens must have some form of ani | mal protein in their feed. This Is usuJ ally supplied by beef scrap. Two years sgo au experiment was started at the experimental farm, Nappan, N. S., to determine the relative values of beef scrap and skim milk when added to ! the laying ration. Tw o pens were j made up of ten birds, as uniform In breeding, age and type as It was pos J sible to Belect. The rations fed to j each pen were alike and constant ex cept that Pen 1 received beef scrup and Pen 2 skim milk. The results show the possibilities there are of realizing good vulue by feeding skim milk. The average pro duction from the ten birds receiving beef scrap for the two six-month feed- lugs periods (November 1 to April 30, euch year) was 615.0 eggs, at a feed cost o f $13.75, or 26.8 cents per dozen, leaving a profit over feed cost o f 97.2 cents per bird. In Pen 2 the ten birds receiving skim ndlk over the same period had an average production of 699.5 eggs, at a feed cost o f $12.70, or 21.8 cents per dozen, leaving a profit over feed cost o f $1.49 per bird. By taking the average o f two years It was found that 598.7 pounds skim milk, valued at 20 cents per hundred and thus costing $1.20, gave greater returns than 39 pounds beef scrap at a market price o f $7.24 per hundred, thus costing $2.62. If, as believed at the experimental furm, the increase in production from the pens receiving milk can be at tributed to the value of skim milk as a food for laying hens, It would only be fair to state that the farmer had received slightly better than one dol lar per hundredweight for his sklin milk when he marketed It through Ills eggs. As this feeding test has been carried on for two years only, It does not per mit the drawing of definite conclu sions yet. However, the results to date would lead one to believe that s part o f the skim milk available on the farm can be very profitably mar keted through the egg and would seem to be a more profitable proposition than paying $7 per hundred for beef scrap In order to supply the amount of protein so essential for profitable egg production. i Early Hatched Fowl Is Sure to Be Profitable The early hatched pullet can be made the most, or the leust, profitable pullet on your farm. Cared for in the usual way, she will | begin laying during August; lay until [ fall, and quit, to go through a molt, when eggs are highest In price uud j when they are needed most. A hen inolts because she quits lay ing, therefore our problem is to keep 1 her laying, fighting anything that tends to retard production. Many pullets, being fed on a nar row rutlon, begin laying before they are fully developed. After a short pe riod they quit, because they haven’t j Ihe physical strength to stund up un der prolonged production. Having your pullets fully developed Is not alone sufficient. There comes the season when Ihe long winter nights cut Into the fowl’s feeding, thereby reducing production. Here is where the value of lights comes In. January and February pullets, right ly developed and properly handled, should start laying In August, and un der lights, continue through high- priced fall season until about Feb ruary, when they will spend a short period going through the molt.

PROFIT—RAISING PUPS r \ 0 0 -L 0 V E I tS have a good cnaoce to capitalize their hobby. But, wueh as one may be attached to a common little garden-variety cur, however dear to her heart a ” houn’ dawg” may be. the girl who raises dogs professionally cannot afford to •elect unpopular and too-cbeup ani mals just because she happens to like them. This 1 gathered from a con versation with a professional dog- lover and breeder, whose business, be gun on a small scale, has grown to large proportions. “ Start with the breed that sells.” she advised. “ Forget the dog called Shep, because blue-blooded varieties sell better. Buy a brood matron about one year old, since at this age the dog is nearly full-grown, und you can tell Just how desirable a type she Is.” The novice. In selecting a mother dog, should take someone with her who is familiar with the special breed on which she Is planning. Occasion ally It Is possible to get a brood ma tron free of charge, by communicating with breeders in (he vicinity who have large kennels; for such breeders often have more brood females than they can properly keep, and are glad to part with one, If it Is to be well cared- for, with the understanding that the offspring will be shared. Boston terriers, toy Spnnleln, Pom eranians and Pekinese bring rnney prices. The Pomeranian Is one of the most widely kept as a toy, and It Is hardier and more active than are most small dogs. Pekinese seem to he fash ionable as a "sleeve” dog. The toy Spaniels, with tlielr round heads, big eyes und long, wavy coats, are espe cially appealing. Whatever the chosen breed. If the dog raiser decides to keep them out- of-doors, kennels, rain-proof and well- ventilated, without being draughty, should be provided. Plenty of exer cise is a necessity for every dog. But exercising the animals should not he left to a mere caretaker. If a girl Is unable personally to look after this part o f the handling o f her dogs, she should not go Into the business. On u small scale, dog-ralslng may be carried on In an ordinary Pack yard, hut the girl who wants to en gage In It extensively should have plenty of spare. Her town should he, preferably, within commuting dis tance o f a large city, where there nre plenty of private customers, as well as pet shops through which her dogs can be dandled. The fundamental thing Is to have good dogs to sell. Admirable ns Is the sentiment. “ They've got to quit kicking my dog around,” It does make a decided difference If “ he Is u hound” when It comes to marketability.

The "peanut lady" of a small, village, settled snugly In the hills of New York state, however, didn’t think that. "I didn’t think, as many people do. that even a nearby town is better than the one in which you’ve alway.. lived; or that it's a handicap to work 'n the place where everybody calls you by your first name,” she explained. "In fact, It’s an advantage to he known; if I were to start my peanut Industry nil over again. I’d start It right here In the little old town where I was ‘born and raised’.” They call her the "mllllon-dollar peanut-lady,” and, though she Isn’t quite that, she lias decidedly "made good.” She started her business in the town’s "corner drug store,” sell ing about twelve ten-cent sacks of nuts a day. Timt was In 1918. Now. she puts out more than 10,000 pounds of the salted nuts daily. She is con stantly being advised to build a fac tory. but she is reluctant to do so— she appreciates the market value of the phrase "strictly home made.” This woman prepares her product right on her own premises. She made tli« nuts. In the first place, in her large sun lit kitchen—und ran right ’round the com er to leave the few sacks at the drug store. Now, since the public has tasted and approved, and the fame of her nuts is assured and tlielr demand immense, she works in a big, rumbling shed she has had constructed, right in her own big back yard, for the purpose. She employs a large number of women workers and ghe no longer runs ‘round the corner with her nuts— she sends them forth, a ton a duy. Now, tanking good In a large way In a little town isn’ t easy. Buf the peanut business is a profitable one. particularly If the prospective "pea nut lady” Is willing to stay in "her own back yard,” or at least in her own home town. It’s an asset to her to be known, and to have people realize that her peanuts are sure to be clean, pure arid home-made. Peanuts are cheap; that’s one re* son why the profit on them Is good Home day she may have to build * factory for her "strictly home made nuts," hut there'* time for that after she wins the title o f "The Millies Dollar peanut Lady.” ( i , IM I.
