GILTS
Good Depth of Body in Forequarters
Mesne YJtalfcky and Pfoniable
MiKtrM sftte&csi*H
In selecting gilts, besides the usual
requirements for It good hog, the deep
bodied animal is the best. Good depth
of body in the forequarters means vi
tality and strong heart and lung, ac
tion. They are not quite so cheaply
fattened as those with a well-sprung
rib, but: there will he more profit in
them. A slightly slabby appearance Is
proper in gilts if they are" to become
really profitable as brood sows.
Keep a Poultry Record.

that accurate records be kept, so that,

"Plastic Wood" Is New Product.
A new product, made by collpidgl
processes and just put on the English
market, is announced by the Chem
ical Age. The interesting thing
about this product is that it may be
used tp repair broken or worn wood
en articles. A pattern is made of
the article and the plastic .wood is
filled into the mold and allowed to
set hard.
This takes but a few hours, and
the product obtained is said to be
extremely hard and possessed of all
the characteristics of wood except that
tt will not absorb moisture as wood
does. The hard plastic wood can be

^^F the great American institu
tionall of these have a
familiar ring to our ears, but who
of us has ever tasted the famous
English dainty of dainties, peacock
pie? Yet at one time, this was a
favorite Christmas disn which was
brought in with a great deal of cere
mony by the lady, most distinguished
in all the company for beauty and high
position. Many times this dish was
garnished with the head and tail of
the peacock In such a way as to ap
pear that the bird was alive. Knights
made vows over it to break spear JJI
defense of beauty and distress. It was
this ceremony which gave rise to the
ouce popular oath "by cock and pie."
Probably the use of the peacock
pie as a Christinas dish arose from
the old belief that the flesh of the pea
cock is incorruptible which of course
would make it a symbol of immortal
ity aud new life.
To the people of today the peacock
is a symbol of vanity.

insects which will be placed on his
return in the cabinets at* tjie' Unis

various birds for. the museum rof the

Professor Washburn has estab

school which is partitioned, he says
by fronds of cocoanut trees woven by
native women. "The Marquaesas
isles are magnificent," he writes.
"Tahiti is nothing in comparison.

clouds and their bases fringed with
palms and bananas, and all about
