A, oran maelt over whiel; some water lute been poured hi a very aeceigtaide feed, eepecially in cold weather, iaround oats mixed with grain and a pail of warm water cart be given, for it will be found that her feverish and exleapeted condition at this time de- mentia considerable water, and it is much better to be given warm than cold, ailie should not be expoeed to cold draughts of air. The udder of a eow should be elastic and pliable, and show many folds when milked out. If it is oymmetrieal and evell proportioned, as it should be, the teats evil be about equal distance apart, and smooth and evenly shaped. A large udder does not always indicate that the cow is a good one, but it in imperative that her milk veins be large, and the naore winding and branching they are the better. Though these veins do not cerry nailk, as one woula naturally sup- poee, they convey blood from the udder to the bedy, and the more blood that praises through the udder the more milk the cow will give, in that milk is pro - (laced from the blood. The dry cow is usually the one that Twelves the least attention on the farm. She is, as a rule, getting the refuee of the herd. In the winter she is kept on dry cornstalks or eintilar feed, with- out grain at all. It is absolutely emu - tial to feed liberally the dry cow for two eeasons: First, it must not be forgotten that the dry cow needs feed not ottly for herself, but also for the foetus. She neede bone -building material to builel up the framework of the feature animal. If Ole dry cow is to be fed during the late fall, when pasture is not available, good caviar bay, some silage and a mixture of two parts bran and one a mixture of two parts bran and one of oil meal, about two or three pounds per day, will make a good ration. Brewers' grains are now in amok grea- ter demand than formerly, and are a far more valuable food than they ap- pear. They are not considered eo good for milk production a5 wet grains, but are far easier to handle. Before feedingto cows they, should be soaked. Experiments go to prove that dried grams are a profitable food for fattening when used in eon - junction with hay ,With sheep also good results ever°obtained, and may replace ilay, being more effective in saving roots. Their price is higher than formerly, but the value per food unit comparee very favorably with other concentrated foods, At present they have an addition- al advantage in being bulky food when soaked in water. The fertility of the soil can best be built up and held by feeding a large part of the crpps and returning the manure to theland. If it is not possible to get manure, plow under crops grown for the purpose. There should be deep plciying, but no eub-soiling. Leguminous crops should be grown for the nitrogen they give the soil. The term "catch crop" applies to any crop that is not regularly planned for a certain field. That is to say, it is a crop put in where another crop has fail- eded, or after another crop has been re- moved from the land. For instance, mil- let sown where a corn or other grain erop failed, or rape sown with a grain crop, or after a grain erop, or in corn at the last cultivation to furnish fall feed, is a "catch crop." By "rich cream" is meant milk rich in butter fat. Mille richest in butter fat is also richer in Casein. The value of manures from stock is about in this order: Poultry manure ranks highest in fertilizing value, which is followed by sheep, pig, horse and cow manure. The vice of feather -pulling among poultry, it is said, can be stopped by dissolving aloes in water and washing the feathers of the birds that have been plucked. The coating make the feathers dietaeteful, and the guilty ones will net make a second attempt. It is generally estimated that it costs a cent and a half to produce an egg at the 'present high price of grain.

Should the hen lay less the proportion- ate cost of each egge will be increased. Bran at all times may be fed a work horse with advantage, and it is best mixed with oats. Oats, corn and bran form a splendid ration for winter feed - lag. The work horse will require at least one pound of grain for each hun. dred pounds of live weight, daily, and may take a fourth more when the work is extra bard. The following is recommended' as a reliable condition powder for live stock. Two pounds of ground flaxseed as a base, an Which mix five ounces of pow- dered charcoal and one pound of com- mon salt. Mix all well together. Give at first two ta,blespoonsful in feed of grain twice a day. After two weeks give half the quantity.

It is impossible to say just how soon in her life a heifer should be bred. The distinctive, specialized dairy breeds strains. Some heifers at 16 months are as fully developed as others at 24. Therefore, the experienced breeder will breedaccording to development. When a hen is made sick eating too freely of grass, she lays what are known as "grass eggs." Gra.% eggs are poor stuff; they have an unpleasant flavor, and the yolk wobbles around in a weak end watery white, and is green and dullish in color. The term is one applied by candlers who discover while testing that there is a pale, greenish hue to the eggs, and that they are not at all of the bright fresh color that Ave find in healthy egge. Shingles are usually 16 inches long, and a bundle of them is 20 inches wide, and contains 24 courses in the thickness at each end. A bendle of shingles will lay one course 80 feet long.

ENGINES ON FISHING, BOATEL — - Used on Few of the Larger Vessel!, flat on All the Smaller Ones. Out of tlie fifty large tishing smacke hailing front this port, echo:ears of front 40 to 120 groee toils, only three liave auxiliery engines. On the other Land, of the sixty 01' more of eillailer eleops and Rhin:nine of from two or three up to twenty or thirty tens, be- longing here and in neighboring New York ana Nev Jersey waters and com- ing to the Fulton wholesale fish market, almost evely one now has e kicker in- stalled. The big boats with the three excep- tions noted still rely eolely on sail POw, er, though they may take a tow from Fulton Market Blip to the Ilattery wiieu they go to sea and a tow from the Hat. tory up when they come in. The smaller boats, almost without exception equip- ped with gasoline engines, may umke entire trips withont hoisting a, sail. If the wind is light or the tide against them they dou't wait, they just start their engine and mosey right along. Of course their trips are shoretr. It is more of a job to put an engine into a big veesel than into a small one. Most of the larger vessels now in cones mission were built before gasoline en- gines had come into their present wide use. A huuclred ton echooner would take an engine of 100 or 120 horse -power, which would take up Eionee roam. SO for one reason and another not many of the larger boate have thus far been pro- vided with power. But it is the general opinion around _Fulton Market that big new schooners which may be brought out in the fetrue will be equipped with auxiliary engines. A few of the big boats now carry a power dory or a boat a little bigger than a dory, like a seine boat, equipped with a gasoline engine. This power dory is cerried on the schooner's deck for use as a handy boat on occasion. They may use it for towing boats loaded with seines or they may uae it for the picking up and quicker rbinging in of men out fishing in dories to tow them in. On vt, least one occasion a power dory has been used to tow the schooner itself. A schooner captain who was out for bluefish but who was now becalmed where there wasn't a sign of a blue, caught sight about nightfall of a schooner about a dozen miles away that Was in the midst of a school of them. So he got his power launch overboard with a towlinamade fast to the schoon- er and started towing, and he made a mile or two an hour through the night, to being up in the morning where the blues were and to get a full catch41*.

Within 12 miles of Calgary a city of 50,000 persons, and with telephone eom- raunication e-ith that city, the Sarcee Indians pursue their lives and observe exactly as their forefathers the ancient habits and customs of their tribe. Two years ago there was a great fes- tival, at which seven of the oldest chiefs related the stories of their exploits, which the painter of the tribe preserved for posterity on two immense steer hides. These bides are now carefully preserved in the office of the agent on the Sarcee reserve. While the history of the pedefaces has been in the daily newspaper, the magas eine and the Government archives, the Indians have no such means of col- lecting, preserving and disseminating Information of their great men. The Indian lad relies on campfire stories and a well -tanned steer hide covered with queer characters, painted crudely with a sort of ink nie.de of the juices of plants. The records are not haphazard, but they are not altogether regular. Mien several ehiefs and medicine men of the tribe are growing old an assembly is arranged, where a, famous Indian inter- preter and painter meets the aged men. One by one the old men stand forth be- fore the people and reeount the stories of their lives. They tell thrilling tales of the battles in whieli they have fotight, of the scalps they have taken and the horses they have etelen. These three achievements are regarded as the three most honor- able tend valorous exploits of the great men. Compared with these the white man'e electien to Parliament, his ap- pointment to high office and his great coranaercial achievements are as nothing. Sometimes their erteetiags last several day. The old Moil are entimaiastic in their deseriptions of bygone days; they recite rapidly and gesticulate mitele The menahere of the tribe, sitting about them, listen eagerly, storing the details to be told over and over again to their sons end their smis' sons until they are tribal traditione of the long past. As they talk the painter tits upon the ground with hie steer hide plated be- fore ilirn and paints with his dyes rude pietures to illustrate the ineidents.

Another group illustrates a subse- quent battle with the Crees, when Bull Head pulled a Cree warrior off his horse and scalped him. Two horizontal figures near the solitary horee in the second group depict this thrilling decd. The splotch of tents below standfor the scene of another battle with the Crees. Bull Head and his followers are in desperate retreat—Bull Head's squaw falls from her horse; the chief stops and helps her onto his own horse. To the left and a little below the circle, which represents a barricade, Bull Head is seen shaking hands. with a Cree, whose life he saved; Cree and Sarcee were friends in peace but foes in war. Dmnediately after The demon- stration the Cree returned to the barri- cade and the Sarcee chief to his tribe to. resume the fight. Bull Head's record, which follows, :shows four men killed and scalped, five tomahawks, two spears, five bows and two war clubs captured. All the thrilling elaborations of these details are told to the children of the subdued redskins even now as they as- semble around their camp fires within sight of automebiles passing from Cal- gary along the new Government road through the reserve.

This hes resulted directly from the applications of ;wince to rue:R- eale and hygiene and indirectly from the imprived conditions of living which Ext- ends: has made possible. In all civilized countries the birth rate is now smaller than the death rate was formerly. But the death rote cannot decrease indefi- nitely; it hes indeed possibly reached in Great Britain a lower level than eau be maintained. A. death rate of 16 per thousandin a stationary population means that the average length of life is over 60 years, aed as one-fourth of those who die are under five year's of age the average age at death of those surviving infancy' would be about 80 years, Odd as it may appear at first sight, the de- areased death rate of a eountry.such as Great Britain is largely due to it de. creasing birth rate combined with an in- creaeing population. Such conditions give a population in witich there are fewer children under five and fewer old people over sixty, in which groups the death rate is about 00 per thoueand, whereas between the a,gea of 5 and 35 it below 5. In Franca there are Jewer children than hey° ever existed itt any population, which reduess the death rate; but there are more old people— twice as nearly as in Great Britain. It should also be remembered that the death rate of those over 45 has inereased continually, owing mainly to the keep- ing alive of weakly people at eaelier, ages.—The Popular Science Mouthly SOME INVENTION. e A New Jersey man has utilized a modern invention and made it a great labor saving device. itie bought a vac- uum cleaner for hie wtfe to use around the house. elle raisee broilers for the market and Conceived the idea of mak- ing the viteuum cleaner pick the feathers from the chickens.

THE F001) OtESTION Collier's (Canadian edition) of August 26th contains an article entitled "West: fiehl—a Pure Food Town," which is sure to be interesting to all housekeepers. The people of Westfield, Mass., woke up to the fact that they were not getting pure food or pure material for use in food. They di) not want, and now will not have, fruits, jams, etc., in which cer- tain preservetives are used, peanuts that have been verniehed to make them look nice, ete. Of the groceries tested in the laboratory erne of the most frequently adulterated is baking powder. A de- lightful commotion known 113 a tart Moved to be ptiff-paste made with alum, with jelly -centre dyed with coal tar, The article goes on to say: "So little baking powder is used in some homes that this product would seem compara- tively unimpertant. Birt a great deal of baking powder, however, is used in the bought eake and bieculte, and a greet deal of this is ndulterated." The adulteration may be by ammonia, which is fraudulent, but not injurious, or by alma, which is decidedly injurious, as it hardens the tissues of the mucous mem- branes. As a precaution look at label and see if ingredients are stated. Bet- ter refuse it if alum or something that looks like alum (such as alumina) is one of them, or if the ingredients are not stated by the manufacturer it will beewell to select some other brand. Jams, jellies, catsups, confections, gel- atine, dessert powders, flavoring ex- tracts are often colored with coal -tar dyes. These dyes are sometimes harm- less, but very frequently injurious, de- pending on the particular combination. There is one bottle of Creme de Menthe at the Normal School which contains a coal -tar dye sufficiently poisonous to have killed two people. The bottle is almost full, but the small amount used caused the death of a man a.nd his wife, and then the product was sent for an- alysis. Extracts are also adulterated with wood alcohol and with tumerie, a fraudulent adulterant. No doubt many cities and towns will profit by Westfield's experience and fol. low its example.—Canadian Home Jour - 1151. THOUGHTS AT 8 A. M.
