Nine years ago the live stock branch of the Federal Department of Agee, culture, ia co-operation with certain record associations representing breeds of dairy cattle, began to record the performance of pure bred milking cows, Each recerd asso ti greed upon a standard yield for cows of its respective breed to qualify for regis- tration, while the live stock commis- sioner forraulated regulations under which the tests were to be carried out. At the end of each year a re- port of the work has been. issued, con- tainiug a list of the animate that qualified for registration during the year, their breed, age, ownership, utilities period, production of milk and fat, and such other information ail might reasonably be looked for In an official report. Each year the work has Decreased until the seventh re- port, just issued, coatains no Iess than 152 pages of information. During the year 413 cows qualified for registra- tion, including 190 Holsteins, 123 Ayrshires, 35 Jerseys, 9 Guernseys, 14 French-Canadians and ;PT Shorthorns. The highest records- made were: Shorthorns, 15,535 lbs. telt, 540 lbs. fat; French-Canadian, lbs. mills, 453 lbs. fat; Guernsey, 11,415 lbs. milk, 520 lbs. fat; Holstein, 23,717 Rte. milk, 834 lbs. fat; Jersey; 15,211 lbs. mills, 754 lbs. fat; Ayrshire, 16,696 lbs. milk, 729 lbs. fat. This report for the second time con- tains an appendix containing the re- cords of cows which produced suffi- tient milk and fat to qualify for re- gistration, lent failed to Calve within fifteen month e after the commence- ment of the test, as required by the registrations. This report is of Special interest to dairy farmers who are anxious to build up the milking (mat- inee of their herds.

The seeond edition of leulletiu No. 17 of the Federat live stock branch, entitled Swins Husbandry in Canada, has been issued, and may eel had on application to the Publications Branch of the Depatment of Agriculture at Ottawa. The llama in swine ris- ing, stimulated, no doubt, by the high velum of pork products, -made suett a demand for information on thie eels- jeet that the first edition pleated lad year was quickly exhatisted. Thle edition brings up to date statistics with respect to pedigree registration aaj thd trade in hog producte. It is setown that tint total exports for the fiseal year ending Moth 31, 1015, amouhted t 106,048,510 lbs, as egainet 27,561,140 lbs. tl,o previous year.

It is shown that the diet is varied in a, defiaite way for pigs of different ages. NOTES. The number of female animalthat may be bred to one male varies quite widely according to the age, vigor, feedingand g,eneral management a the animal, and also according to- the length of the feeding Beeson. Accord- ing to experienced breeder, the fol- lowing will be a safe guide: TO the bull, 50 to 60 cows; to the staillon, 00 te 75 mares; to the ram, 50 to 00 ewes; to the boar, 15 te 20 sows, To prevent worms in hags the fol- lowing mixture Is suggested. Keep this before the pigs at ell times: Char- coal, one bushel; barawood asees, one bushel; salt, eight pounds; air -slacked linie, eight potuacls; sulphur, four pounds; pulverized copperas, tWo pounds, The lime and salt are fleet Mixed very thoroughly, then the ashes and charcoal are mixed. The copperas, shoula be dis,solved in two quarts of hot water and sprinkled over the en- tire mase, mixing it thoroughly. The Mixture may be stored in a barrel or boxes and used as needed, A generous supply ihould be before the pigs v llyilisehr.e they may eat it when thee Experiments have proven the aver- age milk cow requires about an ounce of salt per day, Heavy milkers should ilave more, Keeping Salt where the dairy cows can reach it at ail times ma,latains their good health and en- Courages a heavy ntillt yield by pro- moting thorough digestion and assimi- lation and having a cooling effect on tbe whole system of the animals, at the same time making it easier to bring butter of a superior flavor aml color at churning time. Some people seem to think that a thin hog is a bacon hog. It is not; but the pig -that is well grewon a nitro- genous ration, and that is nice and sleek, but not fat, is the marltetstopper nine times out of ten. Pot-bellied, hay -fed colts tell the story of improper feeding, slow growth and Poor form. A ton of clover or mixed clover haY was found at the Wisconsin -Station to be equal to three tons of corn sta- yer for milk cows. The Department of Agriculture at Washington gives the following list of plants that are benefited by applica- tions of lime: Spiaach, lettuce, beet, celery, onion, cucumber, canteleepe, asparagus, cabbage, peanut, rhubarb, pea, pumpkin, bean, tobacco, alfalfa, clover, barley, wheat, oats, tiraothY, gooseberry, currant, orange, quince and cherry. Indian corn is only slightly benefited. Plants which are eaid to be slightly in- jured by time are cotton, to- mato, cowpea, Concord grape, peach, apple and pear, and those really in- jured are raeish, flax, blackberry, black raspberry and cranberry, 4 • • • THE ONLY CURE FOR A !,Vtikii STOMACH Indigestion and Similar Troubles Must be Treated Through the Blood. Indigestion can be treated in many ways, but it can only be cured in one way -through the blood. Purgatives cannot cure indigestion. 33y main force they meve on the food still indi- gested. That weakens the whole sys- tem, uses up the natural juices and leaves the stomach and bowels parched and sore. It is actually a cause of Indigestion -not a. cure. Others try ma -digested food and peptonized drugs. But drugs which digest the toed for the stomach really weaken its power and makes the trouble chronie. The digestive organeean never do the work properly until they are strong enough to do it themselves, Nothing can give the stomach that power but the new, rith, red blood so abundantly supplied by Dr. Williams' Pink Pine. So the reason for the success of this medicine is plain. Nothing can stim- ulate the glands and nothing ean absorb the nourishment from the food but pure red blood. .And Dr. Williams' Pink Pills surpass all other medicines in giving this new, rich blood. Miss B. E. Johnson, Ilemford, N. S., says: "For months I was a great suteerer from indigestion; food of any kind was distasteful to me, and after eating I would suffer much, Naturally I grew weak and was but a shadow of my former self, I was taking a doctor's ereseription, but it did not help me in the least. Then I read al a case sim- ilar to My own tured through the use of Dr, Williams' PinkPills, and decided to try this medielne. By . the time I had taken six boxes the treuble had entirely disappeared, and I -could eat beartily of all kinds Of fOod. More than this, I found my general health greatly improved through the use cif the Pills. I ean therefore strongly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a. mire for indigestion."

At first a few ot the larger feathers drop out, ono or two at a. time; but as the season advances the moult becomes more rapid. While the 'fowls are in light moult the- hens probably will continuo to lay, but laying generally ceases witch heavy moulting begins. This is when the hen drops the mass of small or body feathers. Prolonging the laying -period not only retards -the moulting period, but it is likelto result in loss of strength and vigor, A hen that begins to moult in July should be newly 'fledged in. October. lf the nioult is delayed the fowls af- fected will beexposed to considerable inclement weather without natural protection, and unless unusually com- fortable quarters are provided they are almest certain to suffer from dis- ease from such exposure. Late moulting nearly always is the result of a desire to get the largest returns at the moment, even at the expense of the future. But is a late moult economical? The moulting period should be a, period of rest for the reproductive or- gans, and it will be when the fowls are uot forced, either at its beginning or completion. Under such condi- tions and with proper care, hens us- ually will begin to lay in February. The eggs also will be large, perfectly formed •aad with good shells, The fertility, hatchability and strength et the chicks will be all that one can expect or desire. Whea a large flock hens is kept over, an early moult will, of course, be of advantage, because of early win- ter laying is possible only when se- compenied by early moulting. This Means- a, late summer or early fall Moine which is natural with millets that were hatched fairly early and that have been kept laying. For birds hatched later and those that for any reason moult in July a forced moult is sometimes employed, the hen beteg made to begin her moult earlier than she would natur- The theory of forced moulting is that by redueing flesh sufficiently, the feathers become dead and looie n, and, therefore, drop out more quickly:. then by feeding liberally new feathsrs are grown rapidly, the body built up and a laying condition restored. The most radical method priest -iced consists of confining the hefl and feeding her from one-quarter to one- half of what she would ordinarily re- quire, Even thie liberal ration eon - stets of the foods less fattening, ench oats and wheat bran.

Vaud era a 11 o ttat to exhibit at the fall end early eater shows make use of this fact to sist them in getting canieletes ler red lionises in fresh, new ohmage. The prodactioit of both feathers and go requires much the sante kind of taishment; which is perhaps the al explanation of why hens in heavy oult seldom lay. If a ration suffi- ently rich to font both feathers and go rapidly was provided, the di- stive -machittery would soon collapse O neither feathers nor eggs would be rmed. Thus, whether the hen forms ethers or eggs, she must be supplied tit a small but appreciable amount mineral matter and a liberal supply protein, because feathers are found contain both mineral matter and liberal supply of protein, because ethers are found to contain bah ineral matter and protein It then eorises -apparent that feathers and go arknot so different in cOMPOSI- on US form and appearance would ad one to believe.

LOA, This Gigantio Volcano isa, Worthy Rival to Vesuvius, The lofty volcanoes of the Hawaiian Island% rising above the ocean from 5,000 to nearly 14,000 -feet, are only the summits of gigantic mountain masses that rise abruptly from the bete= of the Pacific, Mauna Loa, on tho island of Hawaii, stands 13,675 feet above sea levet, but ite slopes descend be- ueatit the sloe as ehown by: deep sea soundings, with a grade fully equer to if not greater than that of the visible slopes. The same is generally true of the submarine slopes of other islands, and the depths attained by these con- tinuous -slopes, within thirty of fifty miles of the shores, vary from 14,000 to 19,000 feet. Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, if their true bases are considered to be at the bottom ot the Pacific, are therefore mountains of as great aut al- titude as Mount Everest, or approxi- mately 30,000 feet. In general the Hawaiian Island group consists of summins of a gigantic submarine mountain chain which projects only Re loftier peaks an dmose above the water On the Island of Hawaii the volcanic forces are still in operation, The one continuouely active voleatac vent of the island is Kilauea, far down on the eastern flank of Mauna Loa - "the great mountain." No other vol. cane in the world approaches Malmo Loa in the vastness of its mass or in the magnitude of its eruptive activite, There are many volcanic peaks higher in the air, but most of them are plant- ed upon elevated platforms, where they appear as mere cones of greater or less size. It is not yet known at what level the base of Mauna Loais situat- eeid,, below. Is below the sea, probably f elatine Kea -"the white mountain" -is also a colossus among volcanoes, Its 'summit, 13,825 feet, is a trifle high- er than that a Manna Loa, but its slopes are steeper, and its base as therefore much smaller. The maatale tude of Mann) Loa is due chiefly to the great area of its base, which Is nearly elliptical in shape, -with a major diameter of seventy-four miles aud a minor diameter of fifty-tXree miles, measured at sea level, In the aggregate of its eruptions Mauna Loa is also unrivaled. Sorae of the volcanoes of Iceland have been known to disgorge at a single outbreak masses of lava fully equal to these of Mauna Loa. But such outbursts are Infrequent in Iceland, and a century lias elapsed since any of emelt magni- tude have oectared, though there have been several minor eruptions. The eruptions of Mauna Loa are all of great volume and occur irregularly, at an average interval of about eight years. In view of the total quantity of material it bats disgorged during the last century no other valcano is at all comparable to it -From a Bulletin of the United States Geological Sur- -4-• 1 Imitation Sewels.

The combined Austrian and iittesian armies greatly extended their line in an effort to burn the right :lank of the French army and cut his communications. It `seemed as though this move would succeed, for Napoleon permitted it to develop without ser- ious resistanee. Theo he suddenly Con- centrated his whole strength at the centre, with the exception of a por- tion of Bernadotte's corps, which he left to deal with the Austrian turning torce, and burst through the tine, de- stroying one wing of the Austrian army as it retreated, Historians of Rome deal at consid- erable length with a family called the Pale. It is narrated that this ancient and renowned family undertook the duty a defending Roman territory against incursione by the- Veientines and for this purpose established them- selves at a place on the Cremara River. The Fabii were drawn into ambush and were all killed. The date of that event is given as B. C. 477. A boy of the family Fabi had been left in Rome, and he became the sec- ond founder of the family, Fabius Eximus, who won his laurels and his spurs in the second Punic war, was descended froni that boy, and there wee another famous member of the family whose name was Fabius Pietor, who wrote a bistory of Rome and who le often referred to .as the earliest Roman historian. -Washington Star.
