'Experts dive Leiaiis of the Rations treed by Then for the rro,tuctiou or Milk tint] 'I atter. The best rations is generally the one that induces a liberal flow of milk, It has not been found practicable to take a. cow giving- thin milk, and by select- ing her ration change this into rich milk, Of course very succulent food is f voroble to an increased yield, with a Large increase in fluids than in solids. The way to get a herd that will give a paying yield of rich milk is to select cows giving rich milk, and then feed for an increased yield. Any cow not giving milk up to the legal standard is unfit for the herd. Use the Babcock test and discard the shim -milk cows. Here aro some rations that have proved satisfactory in P nsylvania: Forty-five lbs ensilage. 7 IU hay, 6 lbs bran, 2 lbs cotton seed me I. A Mt. Pleasant dairyman feed's this, is herd consists of Holsteins and SIM horns. The yield is 7,000 lbs of milk each per year, testing 8.68 per cent. of fat. The lotion contains about 2 lbs of protein, 10.6 of carbohydrates and 0.7 fat; nutri- tive ratio 1.6, A Meadville dairyman with a Jersey herd makes an average of 370 lbs bptter per year. His ration Is: 24 lbs, corn - fodder, 5.1 lbs bran, 5.1 corn meal, 3 lbs cottonseed meal, 2 lbs oil meal, This contains more digestible nutrients than the first ration. The nutritive rade '4s A dairyman at New Hopa reports a yearly test of 6 per cent. from a highly carbonaceous ration. It is : 10 lbs. hay, 5 lbs. corn -fodder; 6 lbs. corn meal, 3 lbs. wheat bran. The nutritive ratio is 1:9.3. The yield of milk was but 3,000 lbs. per cow. Corn meal, oats and bran —equal parts by weight—will be found an excellent grain ratio. Feed what the cow digests well, but not to excess. It takea.an expert to make more than 12 lbs. of grain pay unless the price of milk is high. The effect of the• ration fed by the New Hope dairyman favors a inoderate yield of rich milk, if the cows give rich milk. The effect of the other rations is more favorable to a larger yield, because there is more protein in them. But pro- tein foods are most expensive. Many Pennsylvania and other eastern dairymen buys cows in the west that were bred and raised out of doors. They have strong constitutions, The new owners feed them all the bran they can possibly get them to eat and soot} use them up, then buy others. A horse worked to his utmost will soon break • down, So will a cow. Milk -giving is work. For this reason moderate rations are given above. If any dairyman wants to get the most possible out of his cows in a year or two years, he can feed for an immense yield and take the chances,—American Agriculturist. PRICE OF. BETRAYAL. "And what do you say your numbers are ?" "Twenty-two, excellency, myself in- cluded, but I" ---- "No need to say anything further at present. It is for you to prove yourself worthy of our confidence and of the Czar's clemency." "I assure you we had no political aim in view." "I cannot listen to that. Have you made out the list you promised?" "It is here, excellency." The chief of the secret police took the paper handed to him and silently corn - pared it with one on his desk. "Dostoioffsky." he read and looked up inquiringly, "is he one of you?" "One of the society, but it was only to read Fourier and Proudhon we met"— "I cannot heal you, I have told you already. Be 'silent and answer my ques- tions." Then he amain scrutinized the list and muttered to -himself, `Bardin, Loubah- off, Sobotin—I was not aware of these last.

"Cheer up, comrade," whispered an- other. "It makes these hirelings rejoice to see you afraid." 'Its all a mistake," mumbled the wretched man. "Where is General Gar- ashi sin ?" • "He is never present at executions," replied the soldier he addressed. "He issued his final orders last night." And then a melancholy procession be- gan to move toward the glacis of the fortress prison. A priest led the way, holding aloft a large cross before the eyes of the doomed men, who followed in single file, their ordinary dress cover- ed with a long robe of white linen, at once a covering for the living and a shroud for the dead. The morning sun had not yet risen as the procession wended its way slowly to the place of execution,their life's span narrowed to a few minutes and narrowing with fearful rapidity at every step they took. observed," At last they reached the place ap- "°That I known well, and yet, and anointed, Five Rakes had been driven yet—" Into the grpund near the summit of the long, even slope to the rampart. To these they were bound in couples,facing the east, now kindling with the warm flush of the rising sun, whose coming was to be the signal for their death. Ranged in front of them, at a distance of 15 yards, was a company of soldiers with loaded rifles, whose captain, stand- ing a little way apart, held in his hand a white handkerchief, at whose fall 60 tongues of fire would leap forth and 60 bullets seek the hearts of the unhappy men. There was still time for the last scene but one in the tragedy before the sun should rise. The cross was held before thelips of each man for a final kiss m turn. Then a dagger was broken over their heads by a soldier detailed Froin the thousands drawn up to witness the vengeance of the czar.

Pard, you've done—' But when he looked up again the one gallused fairy had disappeared, and the smoke which pushed through the rig- ging and ruled away was blacker than ever. He put all the money in his pockets, first throwning away the balls of twine, the olci pocketknife and the needle and thread wound about a bear cork. On the street car he could find no hill less than $5,and the conductor grumbled about the change. "Give me the change,confound you ?" said Mr. Wilson, "or else I'll have that number off your cap. Thereupon the conductor quieted down and gave him his change. Mr. Wilson tossed 10 cents to a baby on a seat in front of him and then settler back to enjoy his ride. He had neved known of a more beautiful day. He ob- served with much satisfaction that everyone else seemed as happyjeas he. The women in the doorways were smil- ing, and children romped along the sidewalks. He counted the money from one pocket and found that it amounted to $65, or 1,800 glasses of beer.

At length the whole 22 were adjudg- ed guilty. Twelve were sentenced to Siberia, but not to the mines, as the clemency of the czar provided.

Compressed Atr Street Curs. In a paper recently read before the French Society of Civil . Engineers, M. Chatard presented data concerning the compressed air street car traction sys- tem now being installed by the Com- pagnie Generale des Omnibus de Paris on three of its most important lines, namely that running from the Louvre to St. Cloud, a distance of about six and one-half miles ; that from the Louvre to Sevres and Versailles, about twelve miles long, and that from Vincennes to St. Augustin, about six miles long. In the case of the first two lines, trains of three cars each will be hauled by compressed air locomotives, while in the other motor cars will be used to which, when the volume of trade requires • it. a trailer can be added. For the first mentioned lines there will be one main power sta- tion supplying compressed air to two locomotive charging stations through a two anti one-half inch pipe lino. The charging stations are about one and one-third and two and one half miles re- spectively from the power station. The latter is equipped with seven air com- pressors and a battery of eight boilers, besides an air -accumulating outfit. Tho system to be followed is that of Mokar- ski,'which has been in successful oper- ation on the Nantes lines for the past fifteen years. THe Vincennes -St. Au- gustin line will have two power stations at different points along its length, one containing three compressors and one four, All three lines will soon bo in operation. We wish' briefly to draw attention to the fact that science has placed within reach of suffering women an agency—a cure—that fully meets the case of every woman in 111 health. Thousands of Canadian women in all ranks of society have used Paine's Cel- ery Compound with the most satisfac- tory results. It the is only medicine that has ever been thoroughly indorsed by the hest, medical men of the tirnes: No other medicine has ever rec• :v d such strong and flattering testimonials from our best people, and no other has ever been so much spoken of by the press of this country. Every woman who is overworked, run-down, sleepless, nervous or dys- peptic..will find a friend in Paine's Cel- ery Compound. This wonderful and life-giving medicine quickly builds up in flesh, mucle and tissue; it braces the nervous system, gives health, vigor and youthful strength. There is no earthly reason why women should con- tinue to live in a half-dead condition, while Paine's Celery Compound is do- ing such a work in our midst. The following letter from Mrs. E. R. Wheeler, of Windsor Mills, P. Q., pro- ves that women have a mighty and strong friend to deliver from suffering and trouble :— "I have been troubled with. indige� tion, sleeplessness and geeeral debility for about three years ; I have been un- der the care of doctors and have used medicines for a long time, but could find no relief from suffering.
