MISERIES OF AGE
tM'T'HE JL paper tells of an old mar
who fell oat of bed and broke
an arm end three ribs,” announced the
landlady. “It doesn’t seem possible,
unless the bed was as btgb as an ordi
nary, old-fashioned walnut bookcase."
“I have nc
doubt that the
bed was entirely
normal,’’ said the
star boarder. “The
fact that the vie
tim was an old

erything. When 1
was young I fre
quently fell oul
of bed. It was a
favorite pastime
ef mine, so te
speak. And 1
never was injured
In the least. Of
course It roused me from my sleep,
and I used to consider It funny, and
would sit on the floor and laugh with
Uemoniac glee. But If I fell out of bed
now It would be necessary to ring up
the Red Cross headquarters for an am
bulance and a few nurses.
“It Is that sort of thing which makes
age tragic. Every little mishap means
suffering to the elderly Individual. Gc

“I remember when I first learned to
skate. I was a young man, Just grow
ing my maiden sideboards. I should
have learned the noble art when I was
a boy, but my education in honesi
sports had been sadly neglected. It’s
better late than never, as the old ad
age has It, and so I took up the study
of skatlDg when I was at the voting
age. It was on s brilliant winter day
and all the beauty and chivalry of tbt
neighborhood bad gathered at the
pond to see me do my devoir.
“An expert skater who was present
assured me that there was no trick tc
ft. All I needed was confidence, b«
said, and I believed him. It looked
passing easy, as I watched the others
gliding over the ice with ease and
grace. So T fastened on my skates ant
stood erect, with the help of a couple
of lnuocent bystanders, and then 1
went forward boldly, on my own lnltl

my feet, which previously had beer

wouldn’t do anything I wanted then
to, and the result was that I cam*

WATCH FOR STOMACH WORMS
Sheep Raisers Should Practice Every
Known Preventive Measure
and Use Remedy.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
With the approach of warm weather
sheep misers are warned by special
ists of the United States Department
of Agriculture to watch for stomach
worms and put Into practice every
known preventive measure. The
stomach worm, they say, Is one of the
most serious parasites of sheep, oc
curring over almost the entire world
where there are sheep, cattle and oth
er suitable host animals. In the
United States It Is most plentiful In
the South, where It. Is favored by
abundance of warmth and moisture,
but It Is also quite common and seri
ous In the Middle West and in low,
wet areas throughout the entire coun
try. It is present in smaller numbers
and does less damage In the high, dry
and cool areas of the Rocky mountain
states.
The first things noticed about sheep
Infested with stomach worms are dull
ness and lack of thrift. latter the skin
becomes pale, ns do the linings of the
mouth and eyelids, which is due to Im
poverishment of the hlood from the
bloodsucking babtt of the worms. In
fested sheep also may have a swell
ing under the jaw, known as “bottle
jaw.”
Stomach worm Infection Is spread
hy the droppings of Infested sheep.
The eggs of the parasites In the drop
pings hatch out and the young worms,
which are microscopic in size, crawl
up grass blades and are swallowed by
three weeks. If the fourth stomach,
or rennet, of an Infested sheep or
lamb be examined soon after death,
the stomach worms can be seen
squirming about, slender, reddish In
color, about an Inch long.
A satisfactory remedy for this dis
ease If used In time, the specialists

say, Is a 1 per cent solution of cop
per sulphate In water. A dose which
he* been found satisfactory Is 100
mils (about three minces) for yearling
and older sheep, and half ai? much for
lambs three months old or older. To
make this solution, dissolve one-f(rarth
pound of copper sulphate In one pint
of boiling watfr, then add cold water
lo make a total of three gallons of
the solution. This amount Is sufficient
to treat 100 adult aheep. The use of
this remedy once a innnlh during the
grazing season will, prevent, or great
ly reduce losses from stomach worms
Young animals and unlnfested
sheep should be separated from older
or Infested animals. Pastures which
have been used by infested animals
are dangerous to young animals and
unlnfested ones. The first essential
In preventive measures Is to protect
young animals, for they are more sus
ceptible to parasitic lnfostntlon. than
older ones. Consequently, the safest
pasture should’ be furnished to the

In a plan of rotating pastures to

Le Chatelier and Bogitch have

makeup to be employed. Such fire
brick is composed of granulated
silica, and various oxides in powder

found that the beat binding sub*

Again, the proportion of 25 per
cent of the powder gives much better
results than 75 per cent, for when
too much of. it is employed the bricks
all show small cracks after heating,
which will become larger under a
long heat.
HARD TO EXPLAIN RAIN
The weather men have been try
ing to answer the question, “How
does it rain ?" It is a hard question,
says Dr. W. J. Humphreys of the
United States weather bureau.
“Lots of people are content to sav
that the droplets at the top of the
cloud pick up others on their way
down and come out at the bottom*
full-sized raindrops,” he said. “That
sounds nice, but those who give this
explanation seem to overlook the fact
that clouds can float in, the sky for
days without giving a drop of rain.”
He has calculated how big a drop
would result from such a fall, and
it turns out that a cloud patrtids
falling from top to bottom of a dense
cloud a mile thick and picking up
every ether droplet in it* way would
come out only one-sixteenth; of an
inch in diameter, much amalletr than
an ordinary raindrop.—Kansas City

The Opportunity.
In this world the one thing su
