Silver-spurrecowpunchers of America's Golden West, the rough-rider- s and Chey-enneof the Pendleton round-u- p frontier day, would be green it 1th envy If they could see the trappings of German gypsies who have a camp near Berlin. These gypsies recently created a furore In police circles by offering heavy solid gold spurs for sale In shops which buy old gold and other precious metal. The metal dealers advised the police and sought their aid In finding out how the wanderers came to have such valuable trappings. An Investigation showed that all the members of the band had similar spurs and had owned them for generations. They were heirlooms of the tribe and the owners bad decided to part with some of them for the purpose of raising more money to engage In horse trading on a larger scale than their depreciated paper marks made possible. d 'a If You Need a Medicine You Should Have ttia Bast ' Have yon ever stopped to reason why It is that to many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight ant) are soon forgotten f The reason is plain-- th article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer.

Sheep per ana The high rate actually charged was due largely to the fact that the six cattle included In the shipment made It nec essary to apply the cattle minimum weight of 22,000 pounds, which may be compared with the sheep minimum of 12.000 pounds and with 10,095 pounds, which was the actual weight t the shipment. Had the cattle been excluded, this car could have been forwarded at a total charge of only I5T.60 Instead of $105.00. which was actually paid. The charge for ship ping the' six cattle, therefore, was $48, which was an Increase of 83 per cent over the charge which would have been levied on a straight carload of aheep. Stating it differently, the freight charge on the cattle amounted to 83 cents per 100 pounds. Highest Weight and Rate. The Important fact to be borne In mind, the department says, Is that as a rule where two or more kinds of stock are shipped In the same car the freight for the entire load Is based on the highest minimum weight combined with the highest rate. A mix ture of cattle and sheep therefore usually takes the cattle minimum weight and the sheep rate. As a rule cattle take the highest minimum weights, with hogs next, calves next and aheep the lowest. In the ease of rates the order Is gen erally reversed. Sheep take the high eet rate, hogs and calves the next highest, with cattle generally taking the lowest rate. In all cases. It Is pointed out, the local agent ahould be consulted re garding minimum weights, freight rates, shrinkage allowances and any other pertinent matters If the shipper deelrea to forward his stock In the most economical manner. Although there are many compiles Hons, variations and exception! In connection with freight tariffs, generally speaking, cattle have a lower rate than any other kind of live stock The hog and calf rates are roughly 115 per cent of the cattle rate, and the alieep rate 125 per cent of It. Hogs, sheep and calves, when In double deck cars, ordinarily go at the cattle rate, although in some sections hogs are accorded the same rate whether in double or single deck cars. Plan Economical Mixtures. Obviously, In planning economical mixtures of live stock for shipment the expensive combination of high minimum weight and high rate Is to be avoided, especially If the car la not to be loaded to at least the full mini mum weight In some cases where a shipper has one or two animals of one clsss with a high freight rate la a carload of another, claaa.

It will mean added profit for the owner. product Dirty eggs are a second-rat- e on any market, so are washed eggs. This means that the egg must be produced clean, which further means clean nests and clean feet. t Clean nests are easy comparativeA change of nesting material, ly. whenever It gets dirty, will do away with the danger of soiling from this source, and special care must be taken to see that the birds do not roost on the edge of the nests at night. Keeping the bird's feet clean Is a much more difficult proposition. First of all it Is most essential to have a clean doormat In Ue shape of fresh litter and plenty of It on the floor at all times; secondly, do not let the birds out on muddy days when their feet are bound to get daubed up. Most Important of all, keep the dropping board clean. Dally scrapings are preferable, but If a poultryman feels that he has not the time for this, they should be cleaned at least twice a or one and week. A cage of wire tacked poultry under the perches and over the dropping boards will prevent the birds from walking on the boards, and Incidentally will catch any eggs that are dropped In the night. Even with this extra care, the poultryman must expect some dirty eggs, and a word of advice on how to clean them might be timely. The plain dirties, those soiled by dirty feet and dirty nests, are easily cleaned with a soft damp cloth, which should be used only on the dirty spots. Be careful not to rub them dry, but to allow them to dry by standing In the air. It Is very Important that the gelatinous coating which seals the egg should not be soaked off, as this covering Is germ-proo- f and serves as a natural means of keeping the egg fresh. one-Inc- The harm a scrub bull does lives after him. e A club boy and his purebred are not soon parted. e pig e Raw potatoes make s very satisfactory succulent for breeding ewes. e Thousands of good farmers have found that a purebred sire pays for himself to Improving his offspring.
