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.

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.

A native Hawaiian fruit offered to
visitors there is the papain, a sort of
substitute for the American canta
loupe. 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.

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.

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.

[ fall, and quit, to go through a molt,
when eggs are highest In price uud

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

Having your pullets fully developed
Is not alone sufficient. There comes
the season when Ihe long winter nights

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.

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”

mood when lie made their particular
small town. 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

or that it's a handicap to work 'n the
place where everybody calls you by
your first name,” she explained. "In

if I were to start my peanut Industry

In the little old town where I was
‘born and raised’.”
They call her the "mllllon-dollar

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

the public has tasted and approved,

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
