They were Impressed " with the idea that nothing In the dirt removed, no matter how small or how " useless looking, was to be thrown away. One member of the party had indigestion and carried some soda mints in his pocket. One of these little tablets became so soiled that he tossed it aside. A Z\inl, with horses and a scraper, was removing loose top ' soil. When he dumped the scraper at the refuse heap, he saw the soda mint, picked It up and brought It back. Again it was thrown away, and again the Indian retrieved it. , When this ~X\' - * third time, the owner of .-~y \ ->th» mint bored a hole three feet deep, ff *.'r,J^dropped the pellet in, and sifted earth.

At any rate, Doctor Hodge says that one night he asked an Indian what time it was. The Indian looked up at the night sky and said it was five minute# of midnight. Doctor Hodge looked at his watch; it was five minutes of twelve. When the - sun is up, Indians have another method of telling time.

The man made no " comment but later, when his employer had forgotten his remarks on the depression, asked for the afternoon oft. He made straight for the office of a prominent art editor.

The heat from the sun passes through the <• atmosphere and heats the earth. The earth radiates out the heat $ again, but in a rather different form. The waves which constitute the heat radiated from the earth are of much greater length, on account of the lower temperature, than those received from the sun. The longer waves have much greater effect Id heating the atmosphere than the shorter waves received from the sun. Hence the atmosphere Is heated mainly from below. Heated air, rising, expands and cools in consequence of the expansion, and therefore the higher levels are, much cooler than the lower. The sun and earth may be compared with a telephone, in which you have a voice at one end, a sound'heard at the other, but no sound at & any point between. We have X similarly a supply of heat at the sun, but this travels through space as radiation like" light without affecting space, and heats us because it Is changed again from the form of radiant energy to ordinary heat when it meets a material body. It trav-' els through sp&ce with the same velocity as light, 186,000 miles a second. - ... BHT0WOOD How Treatment of Milk Affects Cow's 'Product Pasteurization is the name given to a process devised bv the French scientist Louis Pasteur for preveating bp checking fermentation in milk and certain other fluids by exposing them to temperatures of 131 to ir>8 degrees Fahrenheit, The treatinervj does not destroy the spores, but it avoids'the injurious; effects usually accompanying complete sterilization. Hence pasteurized milk is simply milk which has been partially sterilize by .the pasteur process. Evaporated milk is pure sterilized milk with GO per cent of the water removed. Nothing is added to it, nqthing is taken from it, andLit-Js more than twice as rich In butterfat as ordinary market milk. ^The heating is the only preservative. Condensed milk is a combination of milk and cane sugar. Sugar serves as the preservative and the milk is dot sterilized.-- Pathfinder Magazine. ¥*'• Sr. f^ ' . • it® W': William F. Carey of Madison Square garden and two or three old and close friends are always putting up jobs on each other. Once, when they were to-» . gether at a hot springs resort, they saw a very large man and. got Into a _ discussion as to how^much he weighed. Finally, they made a pool, the whole amount to be taken by the man who ' guessed closest to the weight. Then the question arose as to how the weight was to be ascertained. Mr. Carey declared that the only way to - find out was to ask, but when the time came to put the question hei hung far in the background. One of his friends was bolder. "I fceg your pardon," be said, "but i the truth is we have made a bet on your weight. Do you mind telling us what it is?" "Why," said the man, pointing to _ where Mr. Carey was tcying to make himself unobtrusive, "I told that gentleman yesterday." / (©. B«ll Syndicate.)--WNU Service.

How to DistinguUh Star A planet mjiy be distinguished from a sttir in three ways--first, the stiirstwinkle and the planets usually do not However, this rule is far from Infallible. Second, when magnified by a telescope, the planets show disks of perceptible area, white the- stars appear as glittering points. This distinction holds for all the principal planets, but fails foj most of the many minor planets, or asteroids. Third, the stars maintain practically the same relative positions for years, while a planet changes its position among them perceptibly from night to night, or seen in a telescope, in the course of a few hours or( even minutes. PURE BRED RAMS * SWELL RETURNS Good Market Lambs Produced by Crossbreeding. Sheep returns may be substantially Increased by using a ram of good breeding and of the right type, says L. A. Kauffman, extension specialist in animal husbandry at the Ohio £tate university. To sire lambs of a desirable market type a ram should be muttony in his make-up and yet. carry a fleece that is uniform-' and possesses' length and density. Fortunately for those who will purchase rams for the coming season, pure bred prices, have been deflated, in most cases, more than commercial sheep prices. Many Ohio sheepmert who possess fine-wool ewes and who are interested in increasing their volume of business when wool prices are low will find U profitable to practice cross breeding, according to Kauffman. Where a good mutton ram is mated with merino ewes a desirable market lamb results. This practice does not cause any .sacrifice in the wool clip, but helps irf°lncreasln^ returns from the lambs. Some provision should be made for the replacement of the fine-wool breeding flock. In flocks using two rams, he suggests that one-half of the ewes be bred to a good "C" type ram and the best ewe lambs retained for flock replacement. The other half of the flock may -then be br&l to a mutton ram for the production of market lambs. • ' „ ;' When ewes have sufficient capacity arid are gftiTd milkers it js best to flush them at breeding time. If they are gaining rapidly in weight at the time they are bred, the lambing per cent will be increased, Kauffman. points out. When the season of slack pastures arrives a grain mixture should be fed the lambs if forage crops are not available. Lambs fed a grain allowance while on old bluegrass pasture usually produce good returns. At the Ohio experiment station this past year grain fed weaned lambs on pasture greatly stimulated galn^. For each ^Unvested In feed $2'was returned. r How Hail Differ* the weather bureau says that summer hail, or true hail, is caused by the rapid uprush of air In a violent thunderstorm, which carries raindrops "so high that they freeze. On freezing they fall back to a lower level, where they pick up more water and again are caught in an upward current and carried up to the freezing levels. This is repeated several times until the hallstones get so heavy -that they fall through the rising air down to the earth. Winter hail, properly called sleet, consists of frozen raindrops, the rain having fallen through a surface layer of cold air. '• '/• How to Brighten Orfaa Kpei" When the pipes have been installed for some time, they should be removed and washed with gasoline. They should then be sized and allowed to become tacky, after which gold powder may be applied with a piece of felt. It should be dusted on and the pipes well covered, then set aside at least 48 hours to allow the sizing to harden. The final process Is the application of lacquer. Both sizing and lacquer shpuld be applied with a camel-hair brush and the work done away from any dirt or dust Pasture Important for Pigs During Hot Season Rapid economical gains can be put on pigs^ which have alfalfa or red clover pasture, according to J. W. Wulchet, Ohio Stale university. Alfalfa Is the best legume pasture as it comes earliest and stays latest in the year. Considering the farm. rotation, possibl. the red clover crop is best. Close pasturing alfalfa Is sure to cause injury which will shorten its life, Wulchet states. If there is much alsike In the clover, pigs shtyild be grazed on it only when it is dr^ as It will blister as does rape. Sweet clover is not1 relished by pigs If other legumes can be had. In case there is no legume pasture rape makes a good forage. Rape can be sown any time in the spring and summer and will provide pasture In about elgh weeks.

This disease is caused by a lack of blood-forming elements In the sow's milk. It is Induced by continued confinement of the pigs to the bouse, keeping them off the ground where they can pick up the essentials for good health. v The missing elements In the sow's milk are salts of Iron which can be supplied In ferric sulfate. This may be fed In a sticky substance such as molasses which may be applied to the sows udder to insure that the pigs get the elements needed, according to Dr. H. B. Eddington, Ohio experiment station." How Flies Escape Rtis Cflats and small flies often Continue to dance up and down when rafn Is falling. How do they manage to avoid the falling drops? ^ Probably no gnat has ever been caught by a falling raindrop, and for a good reason.. As the drop tumbles down It pushes before It a cushiqn of compressed air. This reaches the fly first so that the insect, without any effort on its part, i^ thrust out of the way of the water.

Milk, however, should not be fed to sows until three weeks after they farrow because it may increase the milk flow and produce scours in the pigs. The college recommends the feeding of proteins su<;h as shorts, tankage and alfalfa hay until the sows have been put, on a full feed, after which milk may be Included in the ration.
