The udaer should be well developed, because it consists of the glands which The IIolstein is naturally a large cow with a large capacity, therefore not so susceptible to indigestion and other ailments of like nature due to inexpmieneed feeding as most of the other breeds. Holsteins are such large, wholesome cattle that they are also less susceptible to diesase and invariably, if properly eared for before parturition, wilt give birth to a large, healthy calf, which also is practically immune from the usual calf disorders.

Too Long a Suekling Period Is a Tax on the Ewes. Four months ought to be long enough to allow a Iamb to run with ewe. If it has been fed or Mught to eat during this four mouths the lamb Neill just about wean itself at the end of this period. When it fails to do so the ewe will sometimes attend to the weaning. Most farmers with a few head of sheep pay very little attention to lamb Weaning. This usually works out all right, as the ewes will compel the Jamb s to shift for themselves in most instances. They instinctively shut oft the milk supply, and it is up to the Iamb to make his OWD living on the pasture. Where a lamb is permitted to suck as lotg as he desires it usually works It hardship on the OTOS. While the lambs may gain a little more than if they were, being fed at proper inter - Vats and allowed to run on the pasture the gain is not proportionate to the drain it makes upon the ewe. Where a ewe is permitted to suckle her lamb till very late in the season she will be a slow breeder. She will not tome into heat very early, as she must recuperate somewhat from the strain of sueltlieg. It is also unfair In that it makes ber breed late, and she is not in the best condition to pro- duce her next lamb, Early weaning means a long resting paled for the we, and that is just what she sholdd haVe. ° reeding Grein to Horse.

The Berlin correspondent to the Med- ical Record tells us that before war fur- nished an all -engrossing topic of con- versation for Germans there were few subjects discussed with as much interest as the recent rapid diminuation in the birth rate in the Fatherland. At a meeting of the German Public Health Society a few weeks before the begin - nig of hostilities, Krohne, who is an authority on such matters, pointed out that since 1876, when a high-water birthrate of 40.9 per thousand was reached, there has been a steady de- cline to 23.2 per thousand in 3912. In the cities and among the laboring class- es, as well as in the country districts and among the higher classes, the number of births has decreased. Since there has been no falling off in the marriage rate and no increase in ven- ereal disease, the conclusion was that the diminuation had been the result of of deliberate intention on the part of individuals because of the increasing expense of bringing up children and because of the fact that the child be- comes productive much later now than formerly, Beginning of the Postal Service. Up to the time of Louis XIII, of France there was nothing approaching mail service in Continental Europe, says the American Review of Reviews. The first post, with regular relays, was established in Germany on the road running from Vienna to Brussels by the Emperor Maximilian for his personal use only. The cost was defrayed by the crown and amounted to 50,000 francs a year, why.' sum was still being paid up to 1593 to a certain M. de Taxis. who then operated the Royal Mail road. The real founder of the continental postal service seems to have been a rich French financier from the Languedoc, who, in 1612, realized that the official couriers who carried the royal mall Might, with the aid of the fresh horses of which they were the owners, corn - Renewed Vigor in Old Age 'Ellis Letter Brings a 31essage ef Clime to the Aged -a -I -smiths of Using Dr. ClittSOS Nerve rood.

FOr eate by all dealere, pete successfully with the private and independent messengers, Dating from Louvois, War Minister under Louis XIV, the post ceased to be carried by private enterprise, and a regular system was put in operation. Two branches of postal service were es- tablished, one for the maritime and land frontiers, the other covering the rest of the territory, which was leased to a "farmer out of the public revenues." At the beginning of the eighteenth century the letters for Rome averaged about forty a day. In 1716 Paris had only eight mail boxes from which mail was collected twice daily. In 1759 the "petite post" was established, in virtue of which, for the small sum of five cents, letters weighing up to sixty grammes were delivered within the boundaries of Paris, while for the rest of Fence the maximum weight allow- ance was only seven and a half grammes. It is a long cry from the above state of affairs to the almost universal penny post to -day and rural mail delivery in Ontario. Russian Development and Possibilities. Russia, says James Davenport Whepley, writing in the New York In- dependent, has a population of 170,000,- 000 to -day and in ten years will have 200,000,600. The area of Russia is three times that of the United States. Her forest area alorie is equal to half the tette area of Canada. Six of her rivers have a total length of 17,000 miles. In fifty years the increase of popu- lation in Russian cities has averaged over 300 per cent,, and in that same period the population of Moscow, ,the industrial heart of Russia, has increased from 359,000 to 1,620,000. or nearly 500 per cent, and the character of its in- dustries has ehangecl from the small shop for hand -workers to mOclern factories employing in single instances as many as ten thousand people. Russia is now the second largest cotton con- suming country in Europe, and the third largest in the world. The country has also piogressed educationally, There are now over six million child- ren at school, or nearly half as many as attend the public schools of the United States. The universities have been thrown epee to women and riearly six thousand are enrolled at the St. Petersburg University alone, in the classes of history, mathematics and law. The expenditure of the general GoVernmerit for educational purposes this year will amount to yearly $100,- 000,000, There are now fotir thousand Russian agricultural societies, fifteen thousand pupils in the agricultural scheels, and last year three hundred thousand farmers atterided lectures given for the benefit of those who till the land. Over five thotisand agricul- tural specialists are employed by the Goveenment to aSeist the farmer. Over 90 pee tentof the people are engaged in agriculture. , Finally, "the Russian peasant is a ermple, honest and iteltistrious male Treirietideue in his phytlieue, virile in his steer, and peacefei hi his life and it-AMMO/O."

"Cousin," said to the Czar of all the Russias. "Cousin yourself," responded Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany. If all the heads of the nations em- broiled in the European disturbances were to come together on some one field of battle, there would be a lively interchange of family geeetings-unless the royal relatives were too cross to speak to one another at all.

The teacher had explained to a pre- mary class the difference between sol- ids and, liquids and illustrated her points by objects kept on a table. When he thought her pupils had grasped the idea she held up her watoh and asked, "Now, children, must I put this among the solids •or amo kg the liquids?" "Among the sol- ids, teacher," a bright little boy re- plied. "Why not among the liquids?" She asked. "Because," replied the little fellow --"because if you do you will get it wet."

Every one else must stand, excepting- the prisoner and his, friends, who are forced to remain in a humble kneeling position with bowed heads, Until quite recently these trials were always eery one sided and shock- ingly nnjust, states the Wide World Mngaziue. When a man was brought to it judge It was taken for granted he was guilty, and if be did not confess he was tortured and made to do so. Witnesset, too, were openly bribed. In fact, giving evidence for or against an accused person meant a living to a portion of the community, and these witnesses naturally favored those who paid best. Punishments varied. If the prisons were too full and the con- demned could not pay a fine they were often given a chance to escape or dis- appeared by some means. Though these thingssaare of tbe past, Korean jndges, like these of China, possess a maw itle_a of the sense of justice.
