THE CARE OF COWS.
Wholesome milk cannot be produced
from sick or ailing cows. It is there-
fore Important that the dairyman
secure a healthy herd and provide
conditions far maintaining thein in
the proper manner.
In the stable there must be good
ventilation to insure proper health
and vigor of the herd. oxygen is as
much a food as meal,and plenty of air
is needed to supply it. Carbonic acid
and other impurities cast off daily by
the lungs are poisonous and must be
gotten rid of.
It is iinpossible for the cow to reach
her maximum production or long
maintain health, in the abseace of pro-
per ventilation. It has been advised
that an animal should have as many
OUble feet of space as the number of
pounds live weight. Space, however,
is net so essential as the frequency
With which the air is changed. We
know the stable is properly venti-
lated whe,n we fail to detect any
strong or disagreeable odors. upon en-
tering it, and when we find no mois-
ture collected ou the ceiling and walls,
When windows are used the cold air
enters the stable near the ceiling,
drives the warm air out at the other
aide and the cold air at the door is
lefil undisturbed.
ROW TO VENTILATE STABLE,
To reserve the hcat derived from
the bodies of the animals, ane at the
earn° time remove the impurities, the
King system ef ventilation is to be
recommended. That consists in al-
Ipwing 500 to 1,000 cubic feet of space
fez* each animal, and making provision
for a change of air at the rate of 3,000
cubic feet per hour for each animal,
bringing in the fresh air at the ceil-
ing and reraovi»g the cold air from
the bottom of the stable,

nape, cabbage, turnips, if fed at all,
should be given immediately after
milking . Malt sprouts should be fed
in limited quantity, Wet brewery
grain's should be fed in tight man-
gers, in limited quantity and should
be obtained frequently from the source
of supply.
Silage should be fed after, and not
before nor during milking, in order
that it may not taint the air of the
stable, and be absorbed by the milk.
Silage, no doubt, affects the taste of
milk, as do other foods, but this taste
Is not objethionable. Garlic and oth.
er weds in the pasture often cause un-
desirable flavors in'the milk. In these
cases the trouble may be neutralized
by taking tbe cows from the pasture
several hours before milking.
The impure air of the stable is one
of the main causes for the bacterial
infection of milk. For this reason
no dry or dusty foods eshould be fed
during or for one hour before milk-
ing.
Cows should be supplied with water
from wells, springs or running
streams. All pond holes in the fields
should be fenced off so that the cows
cannot gain access to them in any
case. Cows should not be permitted to
drink from pools of stagnant water
in the fields or in the barnyards.
Watering troughs tehould be kept clean
and supplied with fresh. water from
day to day.

They're a Disgrace to the Aver-

To give WaY to the "blues" is
worse than folly: --it's the (Mutes-
sence of selfishness; and instead
of the sympathy meted out to a
person in the doldrums, what be
laeartily deserves is a thorough
good shaking and a real bad time.
Truly troubled persons, people
who 've been through the mill, are
the ones who grumble the least;
they know when they're well off.
The other, and major portion of
the community, only think they're
badly done by. You'll generally
find a cripple or •otherwise afflict-
ed person. quite cheery. Then
think shame of yourself that you,
a strong, healthy individual, per-
mit yourself to grizzle and growl,
and be your own devil, driving
yourself out of your Eden.
"Blues" arise either from liver
or selfishness. If the former, take
a dose of medicine; if the latter,
take yourself seriously 'to task,

At the outbreak of the American

of that struggle whaling was the niost
important branch of the American
fisheries. From 600 to 700 VeseelS

seas of the world, and In one year
New Bedford alone sent. out 300 ves-
sels, whose cargoes of bone and oil
were the basis of the industrial life
of the city.
The 'pursuit of sperm whales reach-
ed its climax in 3837, when oil valued
at nearly $4,600,000 was brought in,
mostly from the south Pacific. The
height of the industry was in 1840,
/when 70,000 persons derived their stip-

the duck industry there had taken a
new lease on life, having passed out

Present demand is for Muscovies;
while a large demand has sprung up
for duck eggs, especially these from

Wherever the attention of con-

young duck meat in the right way, u
brisk demand sbon follows, The
meat o'.! the 10 to 12 -week-old duckling
is excellent. Some !claim the young
runner duck is the best poultry meat
to be had.
'When the layers are properly

reaches four ounces, averaging nearly
three ounces; while the Pckia eggs
average four to five ounces.
Add to this three other facts, viz.,
(a) that 'clucks thrive oh a goodly pro-
portion of cheap feed; (b) that the
skillful grower seldom loses a duck-
ling; (c) that .there is now a steady
demand for these products, and It will

NERVOUS DISORDERS
Are Promptly Cured by the Use of Or.
Williams' Plnk Pills.
If your hand trembles or is une
steady, it is a sure and early sign
'.bat" your nervous system is at fault.
The trouble if not taken in time will
develop slowly to a worse stage, and.
there 15 no person more to be pitied
than one suffering from nervous
trouble. You feel unaccountably weak
after exertion, lose flesh, turn against
food, and suffer palpitations and thdi-
gestions after eating. Sometimes sharp
pains shoot down your spine and legs,
and often neuralgia robs you of your
sleep at night. These aro some of
the troubles that indicate the presence
of nervous disorders. It they are ne-
glected they result in a complete ner-
vous collapse, sometimes in paralysis.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have won a
great reputation in curing all forms
of nervous diseases. The nervous sys-
tem depends entirely upon the blood
supply for nourishmest, Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills actually increase the 'SUP -
ply of rick red blood; feed, strengths
en and tone the nerves, enabling them
to perform their functions and dispel
all signs of 1, breakdown. Mrs. B.
Waineott, Beaver Bank, N. S., says:
"I was sick. run down and awfully
nervous. The slightest noise would
startle and annoy me. 1•euffered
pains around the heart, and, every
particle of color left my face and
hands. I always felt tired and slept
poorly at night. I was so poorly
that my friends thought I would never
recover. I tried many medicines but
they did not help me. Then I read
of Dr. William& Pink Pills and de-
cided to drop all other medicine and
try them, It was fortunate I slid, fer
in the touree of a few weeks I found
them helpine me. I continued tak-
ing the pills for some. weeks longer
and them completely cured me. I ear-
nestly advise every weak woman and
girl to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a
fair trial, and I am sure they will noe
be disappointed."
