Few wen willingly take lesee:5 kne)w- iugly. It is safe to say uiuety•uine losses out of a hundred are made through lack of knowledge, writes a ` correspondent of the �tnerican, n 11'•1'.etlI• turist, This is why a itheurd should be made and t.ept of ewers . cow in the > ) dairy, especially the, new vows pile. chased and heifers coming into profit. The One looking cow that Will sell well and usually selected as the best often fails when put to the test by the use of the Babcock tester and the scales. A Pennsylvania dairyman who was, keeping tt herd of grade Guernsey caws, selling milk ou a butter fat test, show- ed me the record of his herd. Taking me down the stable. he smith: "There's; a cow 1 have had a dozen chances to sell for $75. Now look at this record. She has given less than 4,500 pounds of milk, testing 4.2 per cent butter fat. beating her board hill only $9.73. The Economy of production must al- ways be considered with the pro- duction of the cow. In this the Guernsey has never been beaten, says an admirer of the breed. Her medium size, good conformation, quiet disposition and her capacity as a feeder enable her to produce milk at the lowest cost for f: -o.1 consumed. This has been proved. in several competitive trials. hrom the standpoint of feed consumed the Guernsey breed has the largest percentage of profitable and the smallest percentage of unprofitable cows of any of the breeds. The cows have good, well shaped ud- ders, teats of good size and are easy to milk. The Guernsey pic- tured ie-tured is a pure bred. drover gets her. But that's not all This cow next to her I offered to sell for $75 and no one would have her. She has given 0.542 pounds of milk testing 5.3 per cent, making a profit of $78.14. She is worth $500." The records for one year had proved to this man that nearly half of his cows were losing him money and that he should only retain about one-third of the herd. In keeping a record he had learned that some cows consumed more feed thnn others, but at the same time did not put on flesh, but gave more milk, so he inquired: "Tell me, how much should I feed a cow? What can be used as a guide in feeding?' The live weight of a cow is a -good index as to whether she is being fed. the proper amount. It all depends on the cow. Professor C. EL Eekles of the Missouri Agricultural college says. "There eau be no fined rule for feed- ing." To feed economically it will not do to feed all cows the same quantity of grain, regardless of whether they give one gallon or four gallons of milk a day, A cow in the middle of her lac- tation period that puts on weight is be- ing fed more than she needs and will give just as much milk if she is fed less. A cow that is losing weight is not getting sufficient feed, and if the ration is not increased the milk production will decrease to correspond with the food consumed. Good feeding is the key to the pro- duction made by a dairy herd. Only by keeping a dose watch on the record of the milk production in connection with the increase or decrease in feed that is given a cow can the proper amount of feed he found.

To the Editor - Rev. W. A. Sunday spoke of the licensed barroom as follows: "The Saloon is a liar. It promises health and sends disease. It promises prosperity and sends adversity. It promises happiness and sends misery. Yes it sends the husband home with a lie on his lips to his wife; and the boy home :with a lie on his lips to his mother, and it causes the employee to lie to his employer. It is God's worstenemy and the devils best friend. It spares neither )oath nor age. It is waiting with a dirty blanket for the baby to crawl into the world. It lies in wait for the un- born. Itis the anarchist of the world and its dirty red flag is dyed with the blood of women and children. It sent the bullet through the body of Lincoln. It nerved the man that sent the bullets through Garfield and William McKinley. Yes it is a murderer. Every plot that ever hatched against the law and Government and bred and born and crawled out of the grogshop to dam the country. I tell yon that the curse of God Al- mighty is on the saloon. Legislatures are legislating against it. Decent society is barring it out. The fraternal brotherhoods are knocking it out. The Masons and Oddfellows and the Knights of Pythias and the A. 0. U. W. are closing their ,doors to the whiskey sellers. It is on the down grade and by the Grace of God I am going to give it a push for all I know how." H. Arnott., M. B., M. C. P. S. FEEDING DAIRY COWS. Regularity of More Importance Than Number of Times They Are Fed. We consider it better to feed silage twiee a day rather than once. If roots form at least a half of the succulence, then feed silage once a day; but if twenty-five to thirty pounds of silage are used per animal divide into two feeds, says Hoard's Dairyman. When no roots are fed it is customary to feed three pounds of silage per hundred pounds live weight. . The number of times a day an ani- mal should be fed per day for best re- sults, is by no means a settled ques- tion. Splendid results are obtained by feeding silage, or roots. and grain morning and night, and hay at noon. Equally good results are obtained by , feeding grain three or four times a day, and silage or roots three times, and hay two or three times. A very good way is to feed silage night and morning, and roots at noon. Twice a day for grain Is ample, unless it is de- sirable to feed the cows to their full capacities, then three or four times is none too often. tfay fed twice a day is sufficient and once a day does very Well. Regularity in feed counts for more than the number of times the an- imal is fed daily. A Word For the Ayrshire. The Ayrshire is one of the most valu- able of the many good things that Scot- land bas given ua. As a milk pro• cheer It is among the beet, and the 11ti1k ie rich in butter fat. As a pro tinder of beef the Ayrehlre ranks imong the front of the dairy breeds. -e 'Farm barna]. When the Blood is Poison The blood must be filtered, otherwise you are poisoned.

(The Weekly Sun) Quite a number of years ago two brothers who could not look to their father for any assistance in money matters, wanted to go farming, but there seemed no way to d'o it. They got work as "navvies" on the con- struction of the. old Central Ontario Railway, now the C. N. 0. R., running from Picton in Prince Edward county, up back into Hastings county. When the construction was finished they got work as section men on the same rail- way. Both brothers pooled their meagre savings and worked a fifty acre farm north of Belleville. There were ten hours of toil to be put in every day on the railway with shovel, pick and sledge hammer, and then the early morning and late night saw them working 'tire- lessly on the little farm in which all their hopes were tied up. In time it was paid for, and became the property of one of the brothers, Geo. F. Carlisle. who is now farming near Toronto. Still they kept on working on the section, and little by little paid for a farm for the second brother. Seventeen years ago Mr. Carlisle came up to York county and took up farming eight miles from the city of Toronto, where he has lived ever since. usesseeiassalliaes He looks out over one of the most beautiful landscapes the heart of an artist could desire, glances around the magnificent big dairy barn and the comfortable new brick home, and'\then he says "My wife and I earned it all. We had no assistance from anyone." What assistance he got from his brother he returned in kind. At first it was a hard struggle, but "for the last tan years," says Mr, Carlisle. "I believe it has been possible for a man who owns his farm to live or it without distressing himself with hard labor," He loves the country, this man, sold loves it the more perhaps as a result cf the three years' business experience 1.e had in the city. In the country he fitt'.s fresh air, quiet, and best of all a sociaL;e atmosphere. "In the city the people are not sociable," he says. "You hard- ly know your next door neighbor. Of course there are people you can associate with, but it's not the same. There's freedom and liberty here. I guess I'll stay here for a long time yet." REST AND HEALTH TO MOTHER AND CHull. MRS.

The employment of toothpicks is very ancient. In Grate's "iihtory of Greece" we Oral that Agatbovles. "among the worst of Greeks," was poisoned by a medicated quill handed to him for cleauing his teeth after dinner. Toothpicks were lu common use In the time of the Caesars. Martial tells us those made of a chip of mastic wood (lentiscus) are the best, but that if you run short of such timber a quill will serve your purpose, and he ridicules an old fop who was In the habit of dig- ging away at his gums with his polish- ed lentiscus, though be bad not a tooth left to his !read. Toothpicks occur early of silver, but pieces of wood or of feathers with a red easel as quills in our day were most usual. The toothpick is the Anglo-Sax- on tothgare. The old name was pick - tooth. It was imported by travelers from Italy and Prance, and the using of it was long deemed an affected mark of gentility. It was worn as a trophy in the hat, and Sir Thomas Overbury describes a courtier, the pink of fashion, "with a picktgoth in his hat." Bishop Earle says of an idle gallant, "Isis picktooth bears a great part in his discourse." -London Telegraph. 1 SHORT LIFE OF BIG GUNS. Every Time a Rifle Is Fired Some of Its Bore Is Worn Away. The life of the gun, so far as its ab- solute destruction by bursting is con- cerned, is practically unlimited, but not so its accuracy life. Every time a gun is fired some of the interior sur- face of its bore and delicate rifling are wiped away, and a certain degree of its accuracy is lost. This is true of the shoulder rifle, with its bore so small that -it would not much more than admit a lead pen- cil, no less than of the great sixteen inch siege gun and the other grades of artillery pieces. Fortunately for the infantryman, the wear on the bore of the shoulder rifle is much slower, as the wearing out of the born decreases rapidly with a de- crease in the size of the bore. Ero- sion, as itis called by the artillerymen, is greatest in the large guns and least in the 30 rifle. ..The big guns which form the main batteries of our warships and are em- placed in our coast fortifications can fire from 150 to 250 rounds (dependent upon the pressure and heat in the pow- der chamber) before they begin to lose their accuracy. -Scientific American. Doors In China. In China doors are often round, leaf shaped or semicircular. In placing them the builder usually avoids having one opposite another lest evil spirits find their way from the street into the recesses of the building. The door- ways separating the courts of a gar- den are usually of an elaborate kind, and the octagonal form is one of the most popular. Religions superstition asserts itself in Chinese architecture, and the universal sacredness of the numerals 3 and 9 is shown in the ar-, rangoment of temple doors. There is a triple gateway to each of the halls of the imperial palace, and the same order prevails at the Ming tombs. The Temple of Heaven has a triple roof, a triple marble staircase, and all its mys- tic symbolism points either to 3 or its multiples.

Frances Frear, in Leslie's: No girl who respects herself will accept from a young man attentions which she knows he is not able to give. When a young man on a $15 a week salary splurges around on a $15 a day basis, something is wrong, and the girl who allows such a young man to spend money for her entertainment is indirectly a party in the wrongdoing of which he may be guilty. A case in point is a.young man, only eighteen years old, who has been brought back from Toronto to New York, charged with the theft of $4,000 worth of jewelry. His first stealing, he confessed, was to "make a front" with a girl at a dancing contest. He took a pin and a ring from his employer, expecting to return them. He never did return them, and this first theft, made in order to shine with' a "little beauty" at a dancing contest, led to many other thefts for himself and others. No one would be foolish enough to seek to excu: e a young man for stealing in order,that he might make a dashing appearance in a tango. The less obvious moral we would draw from the incident is that a girl is riot using her influence as she should when she countenances Or encourag es extrava- gance In a young man.
