Zurich Herald, 1920-11-25, Page 3Ga FITTING BOYS TO DO THINGS The farmer who at times has not felt a desire to study the other man's methods of keeping his boys inter- ested in the everyday affairs of the farm must be a peculiarly constitu- ted individual. A wide-awake roan who has the interests of his boys at heart will constantly be asking him- self if he has.adopted the best proced- ure. When our farmers appraise the value of their boys by the same standard as they do their colts, calves and pigs and study the kind of treatment that is best suited for their development we will have a new gen- eration of farmers with a higher de - degree of efficiency and a much great- er earning power. It is time right now to begin to study the boy and find out what sort of training is needed to develop his good qualities. You expect the colts, calves and pigs from your best sires to develop into profitable animals if you give them proper treatment. As much depends on your boy's sire and line of treatment accorded as is the case with the young animals on the farm His value on the farm depends largely: on fitting him for doing things. All young animals are restless and the success of developing them along use- ful lines depends on keeping them con- tented. Many of our successful live stock breeders have found it possible to continue their work in spite of the present labor shortage because they have appraised their boys at something like their true value, and gave them sufficient interest in the herds and flocks to keop them inter- ested in the affairs of the farm. Other men have been forced to hold disper- sion sales because the boys found more congenial suromnLings and greater income in big cities. Boys are especially eager to do or try to do the things that good farmers do. The spirit to excel is present in every normal country bay. That is one of the ambitions that fathers must encourage if they hold the boy's in- terest in farming. The ownership of purebred animals afford them abund- ant opportunities to try and. do things better than the other fellow, acid imT presses upoi.them a larger responsi- bility esponsibility than the handling of scrubs. Boys have an imaginative instead of a factful estimate of the difference between a $40 and a $100 brood sow ' for example. '.1n the majority of instances grade or scrub aninials are not valued so highly as pure-breds that sell for higher' prices. For this reason they become interested in blood lines and consequently give the animals more thoughtful care. At so critical a time in the boy's period of development no father car afford to break down their morale by denying them an interest in the business of the farm, and nothing will do more toward making impressible, enthus- iastic workers of them than getting them started with pure-bred stock. Secret of. Silkworm. The biggest kind of fortune awaits the man who shall succeed in repro- ducing in the laboratory the silk se- cretion of the silkworm. The r ilk-spining caterpillar is hard- ly more than a spinning machine. Nearly ail of its body is occupied by vessels which contain a fluid of gluti- nous consistency. In some races of silkworms this fluid is collorless; in others it is yellow, orange, red or greenish. The silk they spin is corre- spondingly colored or white. The vessels in question are con- nected with a spinner on the silk- worines tail, which has a number of small apertures. The fluid, emitted through the • later, hardens immedi- ately on contact with the air, forming threads to wrap the cocoon, The threads are raw silk. The composition of the fluid is no mystery. On the contrary, it is well known" Surely, then, the chemists ought to be able to reproduce it. Up to .now, however, they have not suc- ceeded though they have tried hard. If this seemingly simple problem were solved, the worm would be dri- ven out of business, and silk would become comparatively cheap. For the humble caterpillar's method of spin- ning has been successfully imitated with a machine. The machine, patterned after the worm's apparatus, is used for making artificial silk. It spins threads of collodion, which, contained in a tank, Is forced by air pressure through glass tubes with aperttu'es smaller in dia- meter than the finest hair. Thus are Obtained threads, which are caught and reeled by contrivances resembling the reels on Which natural silk is wound front cocoons. Artificial silk Is less strong and elaetio than natural silk, and fabrics woven from it do not wear nearly so well, If you can find out how to snake tie caterpillar's Auld, you can sell the secret offhand for any price you care to name.

It may be just a little print, Quite faded out and old --- Or it may be a costly thing, Cut into burnished gold. It may be spotted up a bit, With tears that stand for pain; But it's the'shielcl that wards a man And brings him home again. Perhaps it's just a bit of tin, The likeness may be slight; But it can be the truest star, Ashine through terror's night! Perhaps the bulk of it is small, A tiny paper square— But it can be the sword of might, That makes a man fight fair;! It may be just a memory, Of voices through the dark; Or it inay be the glimmering, Of faith's undying spark -- Oh, it may be a breath of prayer, A symbol or a charm; But it's the love that walks beside— That keeps a man from harm! —Margaret E Sangster. Can the Dead be Raised? Can the dead be brought back to life? Dr: Tuffler, the well-known Paris surgeon, declares that it is not im- possible. "Injections of andrenalin in the car- diacal cavity" he says, "may restore life to a heart already dead. The heart may also be kept beating arti- ficially for a certain length of time by means of massage or certain chemi- cal excitants." I Dr. Tuflier also believes in the pos- sibilities of saving Iives by .artificial heart stimulation just as is now pra- tised by artificial breathing, MONEY ORDERS.

Surnames and Their Oriiin BOWYER variations—Boyer, Bower, Bower- man. Racial origin --English, Source—An occuphtion also a lo- cality. In the family name of Bowyer and Boyer we have another relic of an in- dustry er occupation now obsolete, but one of the most important in•'England. In some cases the name of Bower Ls from the same source, and in others it is not. The industry , or trade referred to is that of making bows. The bow was the all-powerful weapon of me- dieval England's yeomanry, and was responsible for many a victory of the, English arms over the standards of France in the wars which narked the late middle ages. The archers of old England, with their six-foot bows and their three- foot arrows, have been rivalled in the skill, distance and deadliness of aim only by one race, the Americau In- dians. The cross -bows of the French, the Italian and other European races were perhaps, more ;destructive at close range, but the iron bolts they shot did not carry so far as the light, keen, truly feathered arrow of the English, In the old English records we find entries of such naives as "Adam le Boghiere," William le Boghyere," "'John le Bower," "Roger le Bowyer" and "'George le Boyer." When the names Bower and Bow- yer's craft, they aro traced to the earlier form of "de la Bore," or "atte Bore" ("of the bower," and "at tate bower") respectively. TI i.s word ori- ginally meantrustic rdwcllling place. Two of our modern words coming from it denote the very opposite characteristics of the countryside. A "bower" to us has the meaning of a beautiful rustic spot or pavilion, while we heap contempt tato the .worcl "'boor"' as applied to a person of low- ly and uncouth manners. MAGEE Variations—McHugh; Mackay, Mc- Kee, Pugh, Hughson, Hewson, Hughes. Racial origin—Ancient Celtic; Also Teutonic. Sources—Given names. Strictly speaking the family names mentioned are traceable to just two separate and distinct sources one CeI- tic and the other Teutonic. Yet the names have become so inter -woven in their influences on one another that it is more convenient to discuss them all together. Lost in the antiquity of Celtic my- thology there is a name so old that even its meaning is not clear, though apparently it developed in reference to the pagan gods. In the Gaelic di- vision of . the Celtic race, that is, the Irish and the Scots, it runs through history as the name "Aadh," which, despite the difference in spel- ling, is quite close to the pronuncia- tion of the Cymric (Welsh, Cornish and Breton) "Hu." Naturally, when the Anglo-Saxons and the Normans came along with the name "Hugh," a development of the old Teutonic "hugur," meaning "thought" or thoughtfulness," confu- sion resulted. From the Gaelic form of the Celtic name ("Aodh") have come Magee, McKee and the anglicized form Mc- Hugh, in Ireland, and in Scotland, Mackay. The Welsh Pugh is a con- traction of Ap-Hugh. It ought to be "Ap-Hu," and then "Pu." Hughes and Hewson, of course, are variations of the Saxon and Norman "Hugh's -sou," or Hughson. Some of the Irish McHughs, how- ever, trace their names back to the given names of Norman invaders of Ireland, who dropped Norman customs and formed family names after the Irish fashion from their given names. n the .
