The baby of normal weight tips down at birth the tiny scales at the seven -pound mark. If he or she is much heavier or much lighter, ha or she is at war With the average. A peculiar feature a baby weight is that, during the first days of italife, the youngster—that is, the perfectly normal youngster—loses one pound. Thus, examination made on the sec- ond and fourth days will show a weight of six pounds only. But after the first week, at the end of which time the lost pound should be regain- ed, there is a steady advance in the infant avoirdupois. Ten pounds should have been reach- ed by the time the baby is eight weeks old, and when it is 20 weeks old the weight sh.ould be fourteen pounds. At 7 months the figures should be sixteen pounds, and the year-old baby should have a mark of twenty-one pounds to its credit.

Ite!lahle and l•ritotkal One on a Mitry narni—Plens and Mew to "Boil& It. It is sonic4thing almost wonderful whet iinprovetnents have been iatro- duced into the dairy barn during the past years to aiti in caring for cows and disposing of the milk. leroleably no more advance is been, mane any direction tban in the beiprovo- meat of cow stalls, arid methods ot tying or not tying. The cut witicle accompanies this article was maele from a, photograph taken by the writer and illustrates a, plan of stall which I know to be reliable and prace tical. Persnually, I have observed its conveniences cloeely and know thet it has been uszet with success by praet ical dairymen. To quite a coneiderable extent the cut is so near in detail to the orig- inal stalls that it very nearly ex- plains itself. The prominent feature in whieh this stall differs from others is in the swinging partition. The object is partly shown in the cut. leor instence, the secoud post from the right shows the partition in its place nosiened to the post. The one to the left of this gives the idea when not attached to the post. In the lat ter case the Partition needs to be swung to the post. and the hook in the chain dropped through the staple which, of course,- passes through the staple clasp. Tne par - Mon will then be timely held in place as halicattel izi the former case. The swinging partition has this ad- vantage. 1a allowing the utilizer a. lit- tle more room at his beak when seat- ed at a COW. It also allows him tore space in getting to the cow, he frequenity passing in through be- -en the door and post, stepping he eow to the right of the one he is to milk.. The advantege is all the more important when it is consider- ed that these stalls are only three feet wide. "Width is of course rather more narrow than is usual, but. in this case was found entirely sufll- tient for medium sized Shorthorn cows. From observing these stalls any times I know that it would aVe been a mailer of great incon- VelliOnet. to have attended the cows in steels as narrow as these with t at ionary part Woes. These swinging partitions are forty-four inches long and thirty inches wide. They are so huag so as to be just four feet from the floor at tee top; obviously, .the bottom is about eighteen inches above the floor. These aro just as satisfactory as though they extended closer to the floor, besides being cheaper to build, lighter to handle and no danger of the stable beddiug hindering work- ing of door. At the forward end the door is hung with two .ordinary door hinges -to a second post. A short perma- nent partition, a foot long, extends on makins up the full length of the partition. It must be borne in mind that the ineasurente.nts are not fixed. Everything depends on the size of the cattle, but this did very well fax medium to large Shorthorns. As the stalls .a.re shown in the cut they were arranged for cattle with- out tying. The chains which pass across the stalls prevent the cows from backing out, and of course they cannot go the other way on. account of the mangers. When one of the doors or partitions are swung back to allow the milker to enter, as is the case with the first to the left of the cut, the +chain is hooked into the clasp, and the cow is, of course, just as secure as though the partition were closed and chain extending clear aCrOSS. These cross chains are by no means absolutely essential. If pre- ferred these can be omitted, and a bolt used in the. staple. In such a case a chain on a vertical bar can be used for fastening the c.attle or anything else of that nature. I know of no reason why a stanchion could not be used if desired, but with this I fail to see the advantage of any other arrangement over it. I have, seen thinty cows in the stable in which this photograph was ' taken handled and cared for the year. round without the least trouble, and do .not know why the chain -in -the rear arrangement will not be per- fect under all ordinary circumstances. The cut shows a drop in the rear of the cattle. This should inchrde a gutter, but in order to make the drawing plainer no *teem:et wee made to show the gutter, which is mixteen inches wide and six inches deep. Taken as a whole I think that this is a good, practical rine, It could be wider, with no particular advantage. et narrower there would be trouble More or less in cows over- reaching. So far as the depth is concerned Fix inches is plenty. X have eeen them eight inches, put nave no advantage and were yaore niifficult to care for. It is a very good plan in making stalls of this Itind to nave the' gut - kers statioinary, ate it is LIYX24 tiVairST bellossibie to make them any other wey. ztnd regulate the length of the saull by moving the meager a few inches either way. This can be eas- ily done by placing the front and rear manger boards in clezets sirnitar to bin boards in many granaries, so they can be easily moved in either directiou. We have such an arrange- ment in our cattle stable, and it works very eatisfactorily.—C, P, Ileynolds in Farla Jaurnal. THE FAFtelefine. nAROEN. It rays a Larger rront Than A ity Other l'art of th Far -04 The family garden usually pays a greateik profit on the labor bestowed upon it than. auy oilier portion of the farm, even when managed by the old-faseioned method of small plots and beds and hand cultivation. This being the case, it cao surely be made to pay a, much greater ratio 95 pro - at by planning to plant everything possible in long rows far enough apart so as to work them with a horse mid cultivator, thus greatly relieving- your own uniecles. Aral the saving in cost of cultivation is onler a small part of the benefit of Coe long row arrangement. It will na- turally lead to a. much more frequent and thorough cultivatioa of our gar- den crops. Many farmers e.re prone to negte4 the garden on aecount ot their Oeld crops, and as under their management the manual labor in the farmer is notch greeter. they are more inclided to give their time and attention to the latter, which might not be the ease were it so arranged that the labor is not greater. The important advantage of a frequeat stirrifig of the surface soil among all our growing crops. we are convinced, is to often greittly tinder estimated. It. is said that it pays to hoe veb- bage every morniug during the early nart of the season, and although tale may be carrying it to an extreme. W( are convinced that a zoom fre- queue cultivation than is ordinarily given enight prove profitable. The frequent breaking of the crust ad- mits of a freer eirchlation of the air te the roots, and aids them to make the most of all the dews and rains whielt fall. The manufacture Ana assimilation of plant food goes on Mare ritpidly and to a certain extent cultivation is found to be a substi- tute for manure. Next to actual ir- rigation, frequent and continued sur- face cultivation aids in securing and retaining moisture, and eupplyity it to the growing plants. More mois- ture is lost by evaporation through herd, corepaet sail than is used by the whole crop. Another benefit de- rived from the long row system is the almost certein enleigement of the fruit and vegetable garden.

Gilchrist the othe night lec- tured before the Horticultural So- ciety of Toronto 'Junction upon 'Drees and Tree Planting," and gave some excellent advice in regard to cutting back the top growth and treating the roots of trees to be transplanted. For shade trees he e recommended the sugar maple, the American elm, Norway maple, scar- let oak, horse . chestnut and bass- wood. For the lawn, the cut -leaved weeping birch, purple birch, catalpa, 'double thorn, tulip trees and vari- ous kinds of spruces, cedar and juip- ors. The tendency in Canada, Mr. Gilchrist alleges, is to plant trees too close at the outset. When. they grow up cutting out alternate tines destroys the beauty of those remain- ing, and he said Well formed, evenly balanced treee nut only be grown by giving air and light to all sides of them.

The story Is told from Forest and Stream. The traveler was resting under a tree when he noticed a commotion among 'some dogs near him, They would run up to a certain spot, peep at something and tion scamper back. Looking more closely, he saw 15 or 20 dogs about. a rattlesnake, wbich presently went into one of the dog's holes. No sooner had it disappeared than the little fellows began to push in dirt evidently to 1111 up the hole, 13y the time they had pretty well cover- ed the entrance the snake stuck his head up through the dirt, and every deg scampered. off to a safe dis- tance, all the time barking. The snake slowly crawled to an- other hole about a rod distant and; went in. This done, they proceeded to beat the earth down, using their hoses to pound it with. When it was quite hard, they went away. The traveler examined their work and was surprised to find that they had packed the earth in solid with their noses and had sealed the snake in- side. "1,38strer, My God, to Thee." .As a writer, as a poet, there were few in the literary world of London -an the '40's) who had not heard of Sarah Flonser Adams, the gifted WO men to tvhona all Christendom to- day pays homage in its love for her immortal hymn, 'Nearer, My God, to Thee.' " It was written in 1840, and had subsequently been set to music by Eliza Flower, and in.cluded in a collection of hymns written and composed by the two" sisters. Only within that year had their book of 'Hymns and Anthenas' been publish- ed, and the hymn that was destined to inspire the world had then been ..hoard but once or twice, and within.
