HOUSING AND FEEDING COWS. . l Milk is essentially a P1039“ Orr comfort. ’l‘fe whole (lll€‘>t‘(”1 Oil milk elaboration.is one that m“5t‘r have its basic cause in a full measm‘e I Inf neinnl satisfactinn or all that “(Fl longs to maternal functions writes Mr. H. Cook. In consequence of this if the mother and housewife Could be more frequently consulted in those matters there would appear on increased milk flow, more profit and a. larger degree of animal comfort. It is with this in mind that I so often appeal for a woman's attention tor to dairy management. Is she out' of her proper sphere, will she. nnsex herself thereby? Will tle thought of the dairy mother effect her lovâ€" ing, dutiful attention to hr-me and family ? All should know that secreting] glands are adversely affected by con-l .tact with cold substances. Washing' the udder with cold water effects malk secretion, and so coming in conâ€" tact with a cold earth will have the same effect, not only to produce less milk, but often a. prime cause of inâ€" flammation and garget; particularly» is this true with fresh cows whose mfilking machinery is working hard and very susceptible to nnto-vard in- fluences. The dry cows or those nearly so are a negative quantity and not subject; to the same conditions. I do not wish to be understood thatl barn care will alone maintain milk flow, neither will increased feed ocâ€" complish the result at this particu- lar season. FOOD NUTRIENTS. 'Any cow whose milk machinery is] 'dWarfcd will not respond, any more; than extra. feed will of itself make; a. horse trot fast that has remained idle for a period. How often wel fall to appreciate that the course of! food nutrients is somewhat a matter of education. To be sure a. beef. cow cannot be trained to large milk ‘production, but 0. cow of average dairy conformation if taken when fresh, and so fed upon stimulating milk producing foods, that if Con-l tinned with her individual peculiariâ€"y ties considered, will make for a much larger production at this season. The question is often raised, that exâ€" . tra feed does not pay until this cruâ€" cial test comes. i I can openly take issue, and defend the proposition that it does pay from alternate 'ears of feeding and not feeding. n other words the: working parts of a dairy cow quick-j ly conform to the ideal of her ownâ€"‘ er, measured to be sure by her limi- tations and capacity. Every dairy reader can quickly cite men who in- variably get large returns and others 1 who are as sure to obtain minimuml yields from stock not materially unâ€"r like in their natural capacity through heredity. I mention previous feed and care because it is essential to a. maximum yield. In fact, high milk producâ€" tion or, perhaps, rather extreme milk flow is the product of food and. care or education. Effects are not usually the full product of immediate, cause. More or less evolution is at the base, we must not lose sight of this fact. We have as a class ar critical weakness in doubting the .value of future investments. We feed for the day, but we should feed for next year.

THE CARE OF OILCLOTIT. When washing oilcloth, whether for the table or floor, use no soup if deâ€" sirous of preserving the polish. Skim- milk is serviceable, but milk rots rubber. Hot vessels, onion juic, and such drippings discolor light oil- ‘cloth. Varnish floor cilcloths and (linoleums fall and spring, to rejuâ€" 'verrate their appearance and to len- gthen their days of use. Heavy canâ€" vas, painted yellow and spotted with 'shnciier colors, makes a durable and handsome kitchen or entry carpet. lNew canvas "absorbs much pal rt, ,but will oubwear many common cilâ€" cloths, washes easily, and saves the floor and the good wife's muscle. Wherever else one may economize. ‘lc‘t it not be in floor paint. Next to washing and hot weather cooking scrubbing comes on tlie list of wife Lilies. FIG POIN'I‘ERS‘. Cutting figs with scissors, instead of chopping them in a tray in the oldâ€"fashioned way, is muCh easier. The sticky, tough nature of the figs makes chopping them a long and hard job. They can easily, and quickly be cut into tiniest of pieces with a pair of scissors and a great saving made in time and strength. The white of an egg beaten to a stiff f.'OUl and mixed with the figs, after they have been boiled into a thick, smooth paste, with the addiâ€" tion of a little sugar, makes a tasty and delicious filling for layer cake. FOR TABLE DECORATION. A few sprigs cf wandering Jew in a vase of water make a pretty cen‘ tr‘epieLe for the dining table that will last all winter. It will grow and thrive as well in water as in earth, and though it requires light, sunshine is not necessary to its exâ€" istence. So it can be kept on the table continually. All that is needâ€" ed is to keep the vase well filled twith water. â€"â€"â€"+ “JUST RUN ACROSS." Some People are Lucky.

Honors That Have Been Accorded to Two London Girls. For the first time in the history of the universities of medicine in Eng land, a woman-and a young one, tooâ€"has been appointed professor or: terms of absolute equality with men. Miss Winnie Cullis, a. London girl and graduate of Newnhanl college. who has just been made coâ€"professor and lecturer on physiology in the University of Medicine, London, has scarcely passed her twentyâ€"fifth year. She was a fellow student at NeWn- ham with Miss Ida Snredley, who is recognized as the lending woman chemist of England. Miss Smedley, also only twentyâ€"five, has just gone back to Newnham, her nlnra mater, as lecturer on chemistry. She is the only woman who has ever read a pa- per before the British Association for the advancement of Science. So great was Miss Smedlcy’s success on the l‘CCt'llt presentation of her paper, that the association invited her to go to South Africa next year, all expenses paid, to deliver an address on an allied scientific subject. Miss Smedley, although one of the most learned of England's proverbially blueâ€"stocking university women, is pretty and rcrrrurknbly tasteful in her dress. Some one remarked of he; the other day, “Whoever would have thought she had seen the inside of Newnhuni ! " HOUSES THAT ROTATE. The novel house of Eugene Pctit, a French architect, turns to the sun at the will of its occupants. It is mounted on a steel platform, which is rotated on ball bearings by a pinion geared in a circular set of teeth. An ordinary threeâ€"storey dwelling can be turned by two men. Water, gas and electricity are brought in through a central passage and slew-age finds its exit in a similar way. Houses of this kind, costing not more than 10 per cent above the ordinary. are required for the patients of Dr. Pellegrin, the advo~ cute of hellothcrnpy. DISORDERS OF CHILDHOOD. It is an undoubted fact that near< 1y all the disorders from which in- fants and young children suffer zrro caused by dernngcments of the storm- ach or bowels. As a cure for these troubles llaby's Own Tablets is gen- tle. effective and above all absolute- ly safe. Mrs. Thos.
