Kicking FootlxiUs 700 Vears.
The quaint Shrovetide custom ot
kicking a football through the public
thoroughfares was observed in the
market town of Atherstone, the old
headquarters of the hatting industry
of Warwickshire, yesterday. For
more than 700 years the practice has
been religiously observed. Docu
ments exist to prove the origin of
the custom on Shrove Tuesday in the
year 1200. London Standard.

trelle, was taking for a walk her dog,
which she held by a leather ntrap,
the olhor day, when a man who had

It Is a great help to have all seed

to have nil manure drawn out and

they should be plowing. E. E. Law

Crubs, or warbles, ns they ar
more commonly - called, are found
Just below tho skin In the backs of
cattle and are the larval form of the

swelling. Over each of theso swell

through which tho grubs or warbles

WHEN NOT TO PRUNE.
Do not choose tho dormant season
to cut bnck trees that aro growing
too Xast to be fruitful; it will only
make them grow the faster in the
spring. Walt till they are In full
flush of growth In May or June if you
want to drive their surplus energies
into fruit buds. Be sure to carry a
paint pot along with the pruncrs and
whenever a limb as much as an Inch
in diameter is cut off, cover the
wound with oil and white lead to
keep out dampness and the entrance
of fungi spores that will produce
rot. In the spring this cover is not
so necessary, for as soon as growth
begins tho tree will begin to cover
its wounds with new wood thnt will
creep over It from nil sides. Farm

METHOD OF PRESERVING EGGS.
Taking as a theory thnt nn egg de
composes owing to tho entrance of
hncterla through tho Rhells, nn Eng
lish firm has adopted a method of
preserving eggs by first disinfecting
them and then Immersing them in a
vessel of hot paraffin In a vacuum.
The air in the shell Is cxtrncted by a
vacuum and atmospheric pressure Is
then allowed to enter the vessel, nnd
tho hot wax Is pressod Into the pores
of tho shell, which hermetically soaMs
it. Evaporation of the contents of
the egg, which has a harmful effect.
Is thereby prevented nnd tho egg is
practically Bterllo. Tho yolk of
pickled eggs nnd others nrtlflclnlly
preserved will frequently break on
being poached, but the egg preserved

quite free from such fault. Inland

BICYCLE PUMP FOR MILK FEVER
I discovered some ten hours aftor
calving a cow was unable to stand,
her eyes stared and she showed evi
dence of pain, placing her nose to
one Bide of the body. There was no
fever and the pulse was about nor
mal. Concluding It was "milk fev
er," I went in search of a bicycle
pump which appeared In one and a
half hours after tho cow bad be
come practically unconscious. After
milking the cow dry I put the end
of the ordinary bicycle pump to the
opening of the teats and pumped the
udder full ot air, rubbed well and
pumped In some more. Before the
cow could be gotten to the barn,
where there was shade, she showed
signs of Improvement. We braced
her up on her brisket with sacks ot
corn and then threw several palls
of cold water over her and two men
rubbed her dry, which warmed all
concerned. I pumped some more air
In, but the cow was steadily Improv
ing and ate a little bran mash two
hours after first air treatment, and
In another hour the report came "the
cow is running away." I doubt It
she is any worse for the sickness.

RAPE FOR FORAGE.
The first year I sowed rape I made
only one seeding, and owing to the
drouth Immediately following, I se
cured a poor catch.
But what ot It survived the drouth
made a growth sufficient to convince
me that it Is a splendid crop to grow
In connection with our regular pas
ture. The next season following I con
cluded to make a series ot seedings
about two weeks apart, so that when
one lot would be pretty well eaten
down the next would be fresh, and in
this way provide an abundance of
succulent feed during the entire sea
son for my stock.
For forage I prefer to have my
rape heavily broadcasted. It doesn't
pay to grow rape only on rather rich
soil. After my land is thoroughly
prepared I sow at the rate of four
pounds of first class 'seed per acre
and cover it lightly with a smoothing
harrow. '
In about six weeks or when the
rape is about six Inches high I turn
my stock onto it. I am careful not
to allow my stock to eat too much
until they get used to it, and I have
never seen any ill effects from their
eating rape. Indiana Farmer,
