"Let us talk this over calmly." Hilary turns upon him, "Ono would think," says she, her lovely Saco lighted up by the fire of a most just indignation, "it wes I who was not calla."

After having looked cdrelully in- to the effects which food has on milk the British Dairy Farmer's Associa- tion has come to the following con- clusions: That when a cola 15 in full milk and full flesh she will give her norm- al quality of milk for at least a limited time, oven though the quality and quantity of food be very dehdi- ent. That when in food conditions a cow will take off her body whatev- er• is deficient in food in teeter to give her normal quality of milli. That an extra supply of nutriti- ous food at e11 times increases the quality of milk, but the percentage of fat is not in any way improved by it; anything, the tendency being rather the other 8vay. That an extra supply of nutritious food almost invariably very slightly increases the solids, not fat, of the m.ille. That a ration poor in food ingre- dients has a very slight tendency to reduce the solids, not fat, in the milk, but has little appreciable of - feet on the fat. That: with a poor ration a dew in full weight will loso carcass weight while on a rich diet sho will gain weight.

Lameness is caused mostly by alighting from high roosts. When the roosts are high, the fowls will crowd together, each endeavoring to get. to the highest point possible, instinct prompting them to do so in order to avoid angel. 1'f they have a long sweep to fly down, they are seldom injured; but where they are compelled to jump down almost under the roost, the result is a bruise, which becomes hard and callous, being known as bumblefoot. H1hen roosting on treelimbs, young turkeys frequently become lame because of daily flying to the ground, sometimes partly fal- ling. Warfare among the males, 1130 attacks on the weaker fowls by domineering mens, and accidental in- juries aro liable to occur among all flocks et any time. FARMERS AS BUSINESS MEN. Successful farmers must be business Hien. There is no more reason why they should succeed with careless methods than should the manufac- turer. It is just as important that the farmer know how much it cost to raise a hog or to care for a horse or to produce a bushel of corn or oafs ns it is for the wagon -maker to know what it costs to manufacture a wagon. When this part of the business is loo'ked after more care- fully, there will be less foundation. for complaints of unprofitable sea- sons, mortgaged farms and the on - profitableness of agriculture in gen- eral.

It is perhaps not genoraLly Jknornn that one of the mast important offi- ces of the lungs is to promote the movement of the blood and lymph currents throughout the body. Each insph'ntory movement acts upon the blood and lymph vessels as a, power- ful aspirating pump, drawing the blood and Lymph toward the chest, from which it is again propelled out- ward by the heart. The large lym- phatic ducts which return tato lymph to the blood vessels empty ihlt,o the veins in tho upper part of the chest, where they receive the full fordo of the suction power of the lungs dur- ing inspiration. The lymph is gath- ered, first from the tissues, every individual cell being bathed in the lymph, from which it draws its nu- trient material; secondly, from the serous cavities of '.h0 body the ab- domen, or peritoneal cavity, the chest, or pleural cavity, the cranial cavity, the joints, al(1 011rioat8 pouches and cavities largo and smolt throughout the body; thirdly, the in- testines and lymphatics or chyle ducts gather certain fond] elements through absorbing surfaces with which they are connected. Active respiration assists all forms 0! lymph absorption, but gives special aid to the absorption of food sub- stances front the stomach and intes- tines, for the renson that thee° ves- sels aro situated so close to the chest cavity, that they are more dir- ectly under the influence of tho suc- tion action of the chest.
