CO TESTING
ASSOCIATIONS.
Branch of the Dairy and Cold Stor-
age Commissioner, ]Dominion De-
partment of Agriculture.
At .Ste. Emelie, Que., in June, 142 cows
gave an average yield of 546 pounds of
milk, 3,8 test, 20.8 pounds fat. The
best herd average was 631 pounds milk,
3.8 test, 24.3 pounds fat. The highest
yield of any one cow was 1,030 pounds
of milk testing 3.50. The poorest herd
was one of 13 cows that averaged only
392 pounds of milk and 16 pounds of
fat. If the 13 cows in this herd had
given only enough milk extra to bring
them up to the average yield of all the
142 cows in the association, they would
have given enough milk in the month to
make an extra 182 pounds of cheese
worth 320. That would not be much
improvement to ask just to bring thein
up to the average, not the best herd;
and if the cows are such that they can-
not be made to yield an average quanti-
ty, should they be kept?
At Warsaw, Ont., in June, 118 cows
gave an average yield of 929 pounds of
milk, 3.2 test, 29.0 pounds of fat. The
best herd average was 1,042 pounds of
milk, 32.3 pounds of fat from a herd. of
26 cows. This association record is in
rather sharp contrast to the one above,
and indicates the great differences that
exist between the resnite obtained in
different sections of the country. Stated
in another form, if the Ste. Emelie cows
were as good milkers as those at War-
saw, they would have given an . extra
weight of 54,340 pounds during the
month. C. F. W.

Why continue to suffer from Eczema when
nature hoe provided a certain cure? Zam-
Buk is a combination of 'vegetable essences
and juices so refined, so purified and yet ao
powerful that the disease or injured skin ab-
sorbs it greedily and rebuilds from it new
healthy tissue.
Mise Susan Peake, Edward Street, Toronto,
says: "My arm and face broke out with
Eczema, which was 'both very painful, and
very unsightly. I used various kinds of
salves and ointments, but received no benefit
until I began with Zant-Duk, The first ap-
Olicatlon proved it different to other oint-
ments us -ad; it relieved the terrible itching,
and also soothed the pain. In a very short
time atter commencing with Zam-Buk I was
cured entirely of Eczema, and my face and
arms are now as smooth and clear from pim-
pies and sores as they ever were."
Zam-Buk also cures Ulcers, Abrasions,
Itch, Insect Stings, Blood Poisoning, Scal-
ing Scores and. all Skin diseases and In-
juries. For Piles also it is fine! All drug -

FEAST OF THE GARLANDS.
THE COMING HOUSE. C R{ ^ CURED
A Specimen Already Completed Out
in Illinois.
"A house of cement, a house: without 1
a chimney; a house with plenty of artifi-
cial light and heat and yet without a .1
bit of fire, a house without coal, with-
out ashes, without dangerous gases."
The pleasing picture is the way Frank
N. Bauskett describes in the Technical
World hie idea of the house of to -mor-
row, But it cis not altogether a, house
of to -morrow, for the reality already ex-
ists at Carrollton, I11.
This model twentieth century home at
Carrolltonis thirty-four by thirty feet,
two storeys high, with attic and base-
ment, and has eight rooms on the two
main floors,
The foundation and walls are of con-
crete blocks. These blocks were Mould-
ed right on the ground as they were re-
quired, so there was no waste of mater-
ial.
The floors are of hardwood and the
interior is finished in plaster and oak.
Such a house requires but little wood in
its coast -motion. The style of architec-
ture is of plain, substantial mission
type. :his idea being carried out
throughout the interior.
The house is fronted with a large
porch, and the whole construction, or
rather the entire cost, was less than $3,-

Queer Swiss Marriage Market—Pecu-
liar Ways Men and Women Seek Mat
The marriage market (or fair) which
was held recently at Ecaussines in Bel-
gium has many counterparts elsewhere.
In several of the more remote Swiss
cantons, fur example, there is held what
is known as the feast of the garlands.
The marriageable maidens assemble at
sunset, sing, dance and make merry.
Each wears a chaplet of filowers on her
forehead and carries a nosegay tied with
bright colored ribbon in her hands.
If a lad is attracted by a maid he
plucks a flower from her bunch. She
pretends not to notice, but when the
merrymaking breaks up at dn.wn she will
if she reciprocates his feelings, tie the
entire bouquet by the ribbon to the Lan-
': (Ile of the door of the cabin wherein he
resides or alternatively fling it through
the open casement of his bedchamber.
The famous Tunis marriage mart, of
which so much has been written, is held
twice a. year, in the spring and the au-
tumn. The Tunisian girls attend in their
jewelry disposed about her person. The
"golden girdle of maidenhood" encircles
her waist, and in. it is an unsheathed
dagger. When this is gently removed by
a passing ,gallant and presently return-
ed it mesas that a proposal has been
made.
A prettier custom prevails among the
Ooraon maidens, who at stated inter-
vals assemble in the market place. In
front of each is a lighted lamp, emblem
of conjugal fidelity. A young roan feels
attracted. He gently blows upon the
flame, extinguishing it. The girl relights
it; it is a rejection. If he leaves it
alone the offer is acceptable.
Even in England these curious mar-
kets are not unknown, although they are
not openly ackeowledged as such. One
has been held on St. Martha's Hill, Sur-
rey, on each recurring Good Friday dur-
ing some centuries. And the statute and
mop fairs that are still celebrated in
various rural localities are marriage
mart* in all but name.—Pearson's Week-
ly.

The Mouse Bicycle Record.
Just fancy a mouse with a bicycle
face! Yes. really! About the time the
wheeling fad was on the wane a certain
lady entheisiaet had her wheel slung
from the ceiling in the cellar. One
night a mouse ran down the ropes on an
exploring expedition, and presently land-
ed on the front wheel. His weight
caused it to revolve, and the harder he
tried to clamber up to the top of the
wheel the faster it went round.
In the morning, when the servant en-
tered the cellar, a gaunt, gray animal,
with haggard eyes, and despair eugrav-
edi on every feature, was found stall
maldng strenuous efforts to attain its
object. The wheel was still spinuurg,
ad the cyclometer marker 28 miles. It
was probably very little comfort to the
little beast that it had made a record
for mice.

Gentlemen,—In June, '98, I had my
hand and wristbitten and badly mangled
by a vicious horce. I suffered greatly
for several days, and the tooth outs re-
fused to heal until your agent gave me a

healed and my hand and arm were as

Cheating the People.
When the rates charged by municipal
plants are too low to cover the cost of
operation, maintenance and inve a tment
the deficiency must be spade up by tax-
ation, a part (and frequently a large.
part) of which falls on those who derive
no benefit from the plant. Their money
is taken from them arbitrarily to en-
able some of their fellow -citizens to get
their electricity, gas or water below
Bost. This is manifestly unfair; but it
is no more • unfair than the reverse pro-
cess, which is more common in England
than in this .country. There they rob
the depreciation and' reserve funds of
the municipal plants to "relieve the
rates'," that is, decrease the tax levy,
or accomplish the same result by rais-
ing the price of gas or electricity, thus
compelling the users of these commodi-
ties to bear more than their share of
the city's expenses.

they would die together.
After the storm Mrs. Tucker found
herself about fifty yards away, two lit-

the little boy sitting on a pile of straw,
all unhurt. Looking toward the house
Mrs. Tucker saw all of it swept away
except the floor. But the bed still stood
