Fodder corn, planted thick, about one bushel to the acre, and in drills, preferably planted the first half of June, is the best. Planted late, it, grows fast, gains the mastery of weeds with but two cultivations, and has a greater percentage of protein than that planted earlier, because starcli is manufactured during the latter stages of plant life and the last stage is cut short if planted late. Planting it so thick causes the stalks to be fine and soft, and stock will eat it cleanâ€"practically clean even if not run through a cutter. And the yield is much greater than in thin or hill planting, so it is more profitable. The feed should be of a kind easily grown on the farm, and economical- ]y produced. Fortunately, there is an easy and satisfactory solution of this matterâ€"one that satisfies all the requirements. It is green corn fod- kiei‘. Corn is a giant grass. It is therefore in a class with pasture grass while green, and gradually changes to a dry fodder as the seaâ€" son progresses. ~1t may be sweet corn, (lent, or flint. Flint corn comes earliest and is useful to sup- plement the pasture before there is any Icall to change from green to dry feed. Sweet corn is palatable and is eaten up clean, and is better for fall feed than for winter, as it contains too much water for satisfac- tory feeding in zero Weather. But suppose one has nothing but common field corn. It resolves to this: It is the. best thing he has. Cut and feed it green to the cows. Feed in the manger l)_v preference, but sometimes it is more convenient, to feed at first in the pasture. This green corn is like pasture grass and the change is not abrupt. The corn All feeding changes must be gradu- al. An abrupt change disturbs Uhe digestive machinery and always onusâ€" es loss. Not. only should it be gra- dual, but graduated; that is, the change should not be from one feed to a totally different one, but interâ€" mediate steps should be taken. If We propose to feed something entire- ly different in nature and composiâ€" tion there should be a connecting link. In other Words, rather than change from pasture grass to hay, there should be an intermediate feed by nature nearer pasture grass and leading to the dry hay ration. [Sixteen Years of Great Distress From Indigestion and liver Troubleâ€"Doctors Failed, But Mrs. E.

If she does this she is a money-maker, and should be trea5urcd. If she produces but 200 pounds she is on the doubtâ€" ful list, and if she falls down to 1.50 pounds she s'honld be disposed of immediately. The large dairynmn should always own a Babcock tester and test sam- ples of each cow's milk periodically, also weighing it, and know just what each cow is doing. The small dairyman may not feel able to af- ford the tester, but if he has access to one at a. neighbor's dairy or a Creamery. he can easily determine what each of his cows is producing in the following manner: For three consecutive daysin e;.':l'i month Weigh the milk from each cow separately at each milking; mix it Well if it has stood at all since milk- ing, and take a sample, the same amount each time, in a small vessel holding about as much as a tableâ€" spoon. Empty the samples from each cow as soon as taken into a Wide mouthed bottle or glass, fruit can be labelled with the cow’s name or number. A few potassium chromate crystals should be in the can to preâ€" vent the souri’ng of the milk. (800 PROFITABLE AND UNPROFIT- ABLE COWS. Of course, an experienced dairy- man can make a good estimate of a row from her appearance and conâ€" formation, yet the best of them are often deceived, and the farmer with less knowledge of the ideal dairy cow is still more often deceived, Cowa, like persons, may not always reveal their true worth in their appearance. The best test of the dairy cow is what she will doâ€"not how many quarts of milk she will produce withâ€" out regard to its richness (Unless her owner is a rather unscrupulous milkâ€" man), but how many pounds of butâ€" ter fat she can Show on her year’s record. Butter fat and other solids in the milk, as casein, the chief cor.â€" stituent of cheese, increase in about the same ratio, so that is a good test of the Worth of the cow, whe- ther her products be used for butter or for cheese. Many dairy cows on the average farm are kept your after year at an actual loss to the owner, simply be- cause he does not know just What they are doing. Others are real money-gamers, yet, perhaps, being mixed with the rest ointhe herd, cause the whole herd to bring a fair income and the owner never suspects that his profits Would be better were the moneyâ€"losers culled out. Let us understand this fact. Nature knows her own business. The natural feeds of the season in any land are seasonable to that country. The home produced feeds are suited to the natural dcmnnds of the animals under natural conditions. The only reason why We need to modify the feeds provided by nature is because We modify the natural conditions oi the animals. changes as the svas’on advances, kcop‘ ing pace with it, so the feed correâ€" sponds to the season. “After a time 9. pain began in my right, side, which medical men said was liver trouble.

When the six samples are taken for each cow (one at each milking for three consecutive days, beginning, we will say. on the fifteenth of each month), take the cans to a creamery or neighbor who has'a tester, and ask him to test them for you. The creamery you patronize will be glad to do it for you. or any one owning a. tester would do it for a. trifling amount. Preserve the tests, and weights each month, and at the end of the year figure out the amount of butter each individual cow is producing, or have the dairyman or tester'do it for you. This will give you a very close estiâ€" mate of the income from each cow in your herd, and by keeping a little record of the amount and price of feed consumed by the herd during the year, counting the labor. if you will. {and not forgetting the manure pro- duced, you will know just what your had is paying you and which indiâ€" viduals are doing it, and you will not be long in replacing the money- losers by money-makers. Is the gain and satisfaction from this knowledge The Condition of Many Young Women in Shops and Ofiices. Thousands of young women have to depend upon their own efforts to gain a livlihood, and to these, whe- ther behind the counter, in the office, the factory or the home, work means close confinementâ€"often in badly ven« tilated rooms. There is a strain on the nerves; the blood becomes im- poverished, the cheeks pale; there are frequent headaches; palpitation of the heart and a constant tiredness. If the llrst symptoms are neglected it may lead to a complete breakdownâ€" perhaps consumption. What is need- ed to restore vim and energy and vitality is a tonic, and absolutely the best tonic in the world is Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. They actually make new blood, and bring health and cheerful energy to tired and de- pressed girls and women.

When foals run about on very hard ground not only are the hoofs some times too much worn and the feet consequently made tender, but the concussion may injure the bones and joints of the limbs. Some of the diseases which are supposed to be hereditary may be originated in this way in early life. The desirability of accustoming foals at an early age to have their feet and legs handled must be eVident. It is well to train them to allow their hoofs to be trimmed and regu- lated by means of the knife or the rasp. A foal should have his feet trimmed, if only a little, at least evâ€" ery four months. not worth the labor? Among the hardy breeds of poultry that thrive well during all seasons of the year may be mentioned the Brahâ€" mas. Cochins, Plymouth Rocks, Langshans and Wyandottos. Some breeds may excel them as layers in summer, but in the winter season they will prove zis profitable as any, from the fact that they are very heaâ€" vily feathered and have combs that are not excessively large, which en- able them to endure the severely cold weather. The breeds named are of large size, and are; also excellent market-fowls, having yellow skin and legs. The Leghorns are also classed among the hardy breeds, and give good results, though they are not of large size. Bill Nye, th'g humorist, once had a cow to sell, the story goes, and adâ€" vertised as follows: “Owing to my ill-health, I will sell at my residence, in township nineteen, range eighteen, according to the (lovâ€" ernment's survey, one plush raspberâ€" ry cow, aged eight years.

Owing to the restrictions hydro- phobia is almost, if not quite, exâ€" tinct, in Great Britain, but for tnose whose special bugbear is this horrible form of madncsg Florida. may be confidently recommended.

The United Kingdom is almost the only part of the World umolutely free from leprosy, though it Jib said that the disease is also unknown in the Kurile Islands, to the north of Jo.- pan. This is the more remarkable because the Japs themselves are by no means free from this horrible complaint. N0 CONSUMPTION THERE. 'As for the white scourge, as con- Eillmmion has been well termed, there are several places which are immune from tuberculosis. These are chiefly deserts.

For town lovers who do not 'like fogs, New York may be confidently recommended as a home. In America's biggest city it is an offence punish- able by heavy fine to allow black smoke, dust, gas, or any offensive odol‘ to come from a chimney. If black smoke is seen 'to proceed from a chimney notice is at once sent to discontinue the offence within five days. If the notice is not complied with prosecutions follow at once. The result is that New York burns anthracite and has an atmosphere us clear as that of Italy. PIANOS ARE REG ULATED. In Carlsruh'e, the capital of Baden, no one may play a piano with open windows under penalty 0113. Sharp fine. The town of Arbois, in France has taken the octroi taxes off beer and cider, and levied duties instead on pianos, which now have to pay two dollars a year apiece. PLACES 6001] T0 LIVE IN HYDROPHOBIA IS UNKNOWN IN FLORIDA. No Burglars in Christianiaâ€"You Can’t Catch Cold at the North Pole. A part of the world more easily reached which is also quite free from tuberculosis is the high and dry country in Southern California. Here reside in fair health many who, in any less dry and equable climate, must soon end their lives. All Arctic explorers bear witness to the fact that while living in the Polar regions such complaints as inflqenza or cold in the head were absolutely unknown. This seems a conclusive proof that a cold is pure- ly and simply an infectious ailment.6 There is one place, at least, where mosquitoes are quite unknown. This is the town of Sassari in the island of Sardinia. Three years ago the authorities of Sassari set to work to absolutely exterminate these Winged pests. A chart was made of the town and neighborhood showing every pond or other piece of stagnant water where mosquitoes It is an odd fact that during great influenza epidemics in Britain it has been noticed that those who worked in very high temperatures were com- pletely exempt. 'At a time when over three nundred of the hands in the great Works at Elswick were down with influenza not one single “puddler” caught the infection. Ixelles, near Brussels, has restriétâ€" ed street= music, and will in.,. future allow no more than 'five street, musiâ€" cians within its municipal limits. Happier still is Limoges, whose may- or recently issued a, decree forbidding tlie ringing of bells of any kind before breakfast time, or after seven in the evening. 1-" The police of that city have hit upâ€" on a method of controlling criminals so ingenious that the city is now more‘free from crimes of robbery than any other place of the same size in the World. Every person who is, or is suspected to be, a pro- fessional thief is provided with‘ 0. number, and obliged to report himâ€"' self twice a day at police headquar~ ters. Under such circumstances the burglar's lot in Christianin. has be- comc so far from a happy one that most members of the profession have left for climes less favored by the attentions of police.

MOSQUITOES EXTERMINATED There are, however, two American towns where the liquor traflic is 'ractically unknown. One is Ocean Grove, founded some years ago by the Methodists on the coast of New Jersey. In Ocean Grove money will not buy either spirituous liquor, to- bacco, or oxen a pack of playing cards. The other is Berkeley, a. town 01 20,000 people, near San Francisco, and the seat of the Unixersity of California. It has not only no public houses, but also not, one sin- gle policeman. Gardeners one and all dislike the sparrow. There is one place in Eng. land, and one only, which is free from this impudent winged robber. Tnis is the village of Shopstor, in Devonshire. Why the bird should shun Shepstor is curious, for in other moorland villages in much higher and more bleak situations sparrows are common enough. A quotation from the bye-laws 01 J astzbereny, a Hungarian town, supports this assertion: “Notice is hereby given that any female domes- tic servant who is found out of doors, or even on the doorstep of the house in which she is employed after nine p. 111., will be summarin arrested and puniShed with a, fine or four days’ imprisonment." Babies do not cry unless there is some good reason for it. The cry of a baby is nature‘s warning sigma), that there is something wrong. It the fretfulness and crying are not caused by exterior Sources, it is con‘ elusive evidence that the crying baby is ill. The only safe and judicious thing to do is to give Baby's Own Tablets without delay. For indiges- tion, colic, teething troubles, con‘ stipution, diarrhoea, Worms and sim- ple fevers, these marvellous little Tablets have given relief in thou- snnds of cases and saved many pre- cious lives. They are guaranteed to contain no harmful drug. Mrs. John Dobie, Sr. Andrew's East, Qua. says: "Baby's Own Tablets are a. splendid medicine for the cure of constipation and other ills that atâ€" flict. children.

Snails are collected in the French provinces all day long by men, wo- men, and children, Who with iron hooks search for them at the foot of thorn hedges and under ivy, and in winter in old walls. 11‘ lucky, a good searcher will collect from 1,000 to 1,500 snails. These are paid for according to their weight, about a thousand snails averaging ten kiloâ€" grammes, and the payment varies with the prices current in the Paris market, but it usually ranges tram 4 to 8 cents per kilo. The work, therefore, cannot be said to be well paid.
