That it pays to give cows on pasture eupplementary food during the dry months of August and September has been demonstrated at the leansos exper- imental station. Green corn, alfalia, any az the sorghum en be peon profitably usea as soiliug crops when. pasturee are short then any other way. Profeseor Otis stote$ thet the soiling crops fed "ta e. Kansas dairy her1 brought in one year an income of $18 per aere above the cost of the 'Crop. In the western States al- falfa is probably the best soiling crop, but in the great col -ingrowing sections, where alfalfa, does not grow readily, nothing is better than the ordinary field. or aweet corn. The Government estimates that rats alone do damage to crops, groins, food and other things to the amount of $100,- 000.000 a year. Deirymen will find that the most prnc- Heel age for teuerney or Jersey heifers to have the first calf is at about two years old. B.y following this practice they will develop into better cows and lose none of their size. if properly fed and housed from the second year on. It is possible for them to go to three years old before dropping their first calf, it the owner will take great pains to see that they ave not over -fed, Ana that ' their foods are almost entirely of the protein order. In a great many eases the beefy threesyear-olde are obtained by ieeding them heartily and neavily, when they have no use for their food, and therefore store it on their backs. In ordinary practice the greatest demand for milk products exists during the win- ter, and the herd should be bred to calve in the fall to meet that demand. The heifer should e,alve at that time. More milk is obtained by fall calving, and the expense of food and attention is less- ened. The secret of vigorous growth of or- namental 'trees Bee in proper prepara- tion of the soil before planting. Make the holes at least three feet across and of a like depth—you eamlot make them too large nor too deep, Do not dump in a, lot of manure or trash of any kind, but first put back the surface sone and, if nossible, fill in the hole with nothing but endue soil from surrounding terra tory, leaving the other soil to be mat- tered where it may get aerated and. en- riched. If necessary to use manure, let it be well rotted and most thoroughly mixed -with the soil before putting it around the tree. - The reason why there are so many pip lost and so many small litters is that the breeding stock lacks constihn tional vigor, by having descended from corn -fed stack. When the farmers of this country begin to feed their breeding stock on good blood and musele-making feeds they will not have so much cholera nor so few pigs. The old. razor -back sow that naiad 10 pigs at a litter had. a good constitution ana very little fat on. her ribs. • ARTIFICIAL UBATING .AND BROODINC4. (Canadian Poultry Review.) One of the national problems in the poultry business just now is how to avoid the heavy loss in eggs between the producer and the consumer. There can be no doubt but that if the eon - summer ean get eggs under a week old that are from hens getting wholesome food and. the eggs are kept in cool, clean room, but what the consumption will increase. When one visits almost any of the large dealers awl sees the candles non are surprised at the poor -quality of the eggs and their age. We must, if possible, get the eggs to their final destination more rapidly than heretofore. There is now, as I under- stand it, about seventeen per cent. shrinkage on case tounts. This is too large. One of the large dealers has a trade for new laid eggs, but has so far been unable to supply this select trade. To meet his demand, he has been estab- lishing co-operative egg eireles, or co- operative egg associations. Ile requires of the farmers that they take the best of care of the eggs, that is, eggs must not be put in front found nests, no ntales are to run with hens after the kneeling season. The eggs are to be ekan, and further. inust be kept in a cool, dry place. Each member is sup- plied. with a stamp and each egg is marked with individual's number, so that the dealer knee% from where the good or bad eome. The eggs are gath- ered twice each week by the dealer and are tested before they Hee -slapped. Should any poor, stale or bad eggs be found. they are returned to the pro - &leer. The dealer, on his part, is pay- ing from four to five cents per dozen above what the farmers have been re- ceiving. This sante should. receive the eneouragement of the fanciers, as it meats that poultry on the farm will pay better, 'which in turn means better stock, better mete of, and -will stimulate tha sale of strong, vigorous breedes. The next great, event to local poultre- men will be the Toronto exhibition, and then we will know at least partially whether there have been many early hatched chickens. I have seen a few recently ready to step hi the show coop, well feathered and wen grown, but it is possible and not improbable •that some of the later ones during the next sit weeks will come along and pass thorn.

Piakliam's Ver etable compound Chicago, 111. — want to tell you what Lydia B. Finkhana'S Vegetable Compound did for me. I was so sick that two of the best doctors in Chicago said 1 would die if I did not have an operation. I had already had two operations, a n d they wanted me to .4' go through a third one. I suffered day and night from in - damnation and a small tumor, and never thought of Seeing a well day .kg again. A friend told me how L_yclia Finkham'S 'Veg. °table Compound had helped her, and tried it, and aftk the third bottle was cured."—Nirs.A.LvglIA Snlateantas 11 Langdon Street, Chicago, 111. If you are ill do not drag along at home or in your place of employment until an operation is necessary, but build up the feminine system, and re, move the cause of those distressing aches and pains by taking Lydia E. Finkhara's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs. For thirty years it has been the stan- dard remedy for female ills, and has positively restored the health of thou- sands of womenwho have been troubled with displacements, billaramation, ul- ceration, fibroid tumors, irregularities, perieclic pains, backache, bearing -down feeling, flatulency, indigestion, dizzi. ness, or nervous prostration. Why don't you try it? as yon wished, or look lilco winners, The nee is not over yet, and now is the time to keep down the lice, prevent erowding and supply gteeu food and shade. It has been warm weather riroud here lately, and thechickens are not to be -seen during the heat of the day. They all get under the colony houses'trees cir bustles, anywhere out of the hot sun. Very ehrly in the morn- ing and late at night they run around efter green food and insects, Please re- member that as chickens grow in size they eat more food, If a quare was enough, for the flock last week, it will take mord 'bent.

And, more- over, one's houses are not, overcrowded. Many of the other breeds of cockerels have been shipped as broilers. There has been an unusual demand this early in the season for utility cock- erels and pullets. That is good, strong, robust, well grown chickens, not neces- sarily fancy feathered.—W. It. G.

'Round the little old deserted house the noisome weeds are growing, And. the wind unkinderea wanders through the broken eastern door; Every rafter, beam and ash the finger- marks of Time is showing, And Decay is running riot o'er the rubbish covered floor. Here a rotten pillar staggers; there an aged beam is falling; Oven yonder sags the mantel -piece, de- jected and forlorn; There is helplessness pathetic and the voice of Old Age calling Front each trutabling bit of mortar, in the house where I was born. I have passed from it forever, All the wonders and the glamor Of the little eastern window from the world have worn away; I have seen its disappointments; 1 have heard its empty clamor; , And the house I once thought wonder- ful—how pitiful toelay; But who knows?

The country newspaper is the cradle of our national song, and some of our enduring poetry has been printed. originally in ite col- umns. out the first of last April a soci- ety was started in a fashionable uptown apartment. They called it something like ;The Poets' Association of America.' The merebers of it were mostly all from the slope, with a few Indiana songbirds thrown in for good measure. They talk- ed of everything from the proper posi- tion of the caesura, to the delicate shad- ing of the oxymoron." At one stage of the proceedings the lights were turned down And the room looked as if they were going to hold a Pethidine seance. Then they read their poetry at one an- other, and the result must have been general dampness, for the society has never met since. "Neverbheless poetry asitn art is mak- ing Splendid progress.

Pen •••P WIT, V. OSBORNE, Railway porter who caneed all the tronble, London, England.—Wm, V, Osborne is in roost ways exceedingly humble. He draws about $8 a eveek, and is technieally klioWn as a "porter," which means he more or less makes blinself generaly tteeful at a, depot, partieularly lit connection with pas- sengers' "luggage." But Osboene, in his capacity of a citizen before tho law, has managed to stir up a heap of trouble in. the powerful labor unions of Great Britain. Osborne is a member of the Amal- gamated Society of Railway Servants. This union combined with the rest to maintain Labor members in par- liament; No poor man could go to parliament unsupported by an organ- ization, for England doesn't pay 'her lawbreakers. So the unions made a compulsory levy of four cents a year Per merober to pay each Labor mem- ber of the Commons a, salary of $1,,- 040, Osborne liked the idea of having Labor members in parliament; he Wouldn't even mind going there him- self; the payment of the four cents a year, even, was a pleasure, ea him, But what he did object to was paying 'for the eupport of members who held views to which he objeete ed. In other words, William V. said that he wasn't a Socialist himeelf and he'd sea other people a long way further before lee would pay fOr the ,support of a Socialist in parlia- ment. "And what's more," said Osborne, "the union hies no power to make me." • "Don't be silly," replied the union. But the courts agreed with Oeborne, The case was carried way up to the suprem trebunal—the law lords—who sustained an injunction preventing the unioxi from making a compulsory levy. Similar suits are under way against all the other big unions. Incidentally, they are trying to ex- pel Osborne from his union and dis- solve the local branch which lies sup- ported' him. But William still linty be seen smiling shutting the doors of the coaches, running around with boxes on his shoulder, •and accepting "two -penny tips." With very little money on hand and nothing coming in, the labor unione have had. a'hard time keeping their representatives in parliament up to now. Conteibutions come in slow- ly. At future elections many of their candidates may not stand for re-elec. Von, as the unions will not have money enough to pay for campaigns in every district. Some may borrow money. The abolition of this right to levy for political action is to the British Labor party' what the aboli- tion. of the "eheck-oft" would be to the United Mine Workers of Amer- ica—the latter union. could not keep its union in the present efficient con- dition if union dues ever not taken. out of tho miners' wages. Some English unions urge that the law be defied, and the levies' made as usual, with dummy officers for the government to arrest, while the teal officers deny on the work. Others urge that the Labor party force the Liberals to pass a. bill reversing the Osborne judgment by withholding their support on measures important to the Liberals. The radical miners urge a general strike of tile 2,446,708 workers who are affiliated with the Labor partye to tie up industry and force the goy - eminent to allow the unions to levy the assessment. The. extreme Socialists who work outside the Labor party do not think Lha unions should make the levies. They say that if the Labor party does not stand 'for Soeialisto, the SoeiWA element of it should frank- ly collie out and get about its own business: The outcome of it will probably be a new political organization dis- Una from Um trades unions, such as exists in other ea:Int:eve ShilohifCwi quickly mope comais, cures colds, heals Mu throat and binds. . 23 cents.

A QUESTION FOR .EVERYBODY. (N. Y. Henna.) What is your life7--James iv.,, 14. "What in your life?" Let the biologist and .the economist keep silent. We ere not just now concerned with their de- finition. Our question is not, What is life? but "What is your life'" my life? I do not Mean to ask whata mains chances of life are, wording to the ec- Wary's table. Nor do 1 concern myself as to whether lie has iheuroatism or twins or a fortune. Rather, what does he think of life? What does he do.with it? How does he rate it? That life to which you get up every morning rested or stale; through whose mists and mazes you work your way cheerfully or grudgingly; that thing of mingled sweet and bitter, fault and joy, pollen and shame—"What is your life?" In its essence and outcome life is whet we make it for ourselves. Heredity niel environment tell only part of the story. My life, within certain sharp limitation*, is what I make it for myself. It is desibt- less true, as the scripture affirm, 'hat we cannot "with thinkibg add one cubit to our stature." Yet it remains- for the smallest of men to determine how het - ole lie will be between his hat and his boots, Erieeson once said, "God has giv- en me, within certaiu limits, greater talents than He has given to any other man." Every man has his own unique gift. The question is what he will do wi t h nit. Tthere is the spirit of our life. One's ancestors may have contributed to him a torpid liver; and it is always very hard for a man to be good, es- pecially to be cheerful, when his liver is , out of order. Moreover, conditions in Which he lives may be little calculated to elicit bravery or ttuth. Even so it is "up to him" to decide what he will do with a cramped life. If happiness is a task, as Stevenson intimates it may be, then let us put red blood into it. It is only one's own life that he can make. Ile cannot niake ethe life of his friend or child or poor neighbor; he can only make his own life. Drudging or cheeme frivolous or immensely earnest, he will melee it what it is. He may take life as it joke, as a tragedy or as the consummate gift of God; but in some way he will take it and in some way will make it what it is. "One ship drives east and Anotherdrives west With the selfsame winds that blow; 'Tis the set of the sails and not the gale! Tina settles this way they go. "Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate, As We voyage along through life; lisAlie set of the soul that decides the g And not the calm or the strife." --Geoarit. ge Clarice Peek, St. Andrew's Me- thodist Episcopal Chureh, Manhat- t THE. BEST ALWAYS AVAILABLE. God's dynamo of love and weer never shut dowri. Their current is not varia- ble. They do not interinit their action or supply for a fraction of a second. of time, night or day. Therefore when we have our "off" days—when our spiri- tual life is at a low ebb, and, it comes easier to us to be indifferent or ontag- onistie than to love, and the eonseious- ness of power is it memory rather than a faet—eve may be quite sure it is lime due to God's tesources having let doevn or given out. Thete is only one explan- ation of our uusatisfactory condition: we have not kept in touch with aots, And to get out of touth with laim ie something that we neea never do.
