Each cow gave less mita vithout the grain, the total difference la yield for the three cows for 15 deys being 79 poends. Since these two rations were approximately equal in disestible matetial, and were eatee raadily by the animals, it inaicates that "the digestible. portions of dif- ferent feeds cannot 1)3. depended on ta produce the same results, even inough it is eemmonly considered that e pound of digestible protein has equal value, no matter what ite source. At hetet these results would seem to sliox that the protein from alfalfa hay could not be 'utilized to the same .exient in. making milk as that from grain. Rye - vs. 'Wheat Pasture—Wheat proved the better green feed to the extent of one pound of milk daily per cow, even when fed after the rye to menials that were normally shrink- ing in flow. • Soiling vs. Pasture—Ten cows were used in this experiment,. five on pas- ture with no other food than what they could obtaie in the fields be, tween 7 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon, and five fed green corn forage in tele barn. In preliminary feeding on identical rations the -.cows later pastured were found 'to give .5. emends more of milk per head daily; but oa pasture they gave .L9 pounds more per° head daily for 85 days, and one of theee cows ate 15 pounds less of grain. Dry Feed vs. Pasture—The milk 'yield of eeven cows during April on cut corn fodder with some silage and with grain was eempared with the yield of the same cows during May on upland pasture. On pasture they ato only threw pounds of grain per head daily, while before turning out they had eaten from eight to twelve pounds; yet there was an average daily grain of pasture of 4.7 nounds of milk per head.

It is • frequently hereditary, and it is more Common in women than men. It usually de- ,velops in early life. Anaemia, gastric disturbanees, gout, eye -strain, pelvic eisordera, overwork and, prolonged exeitement predispose to it, The symp- toms are easily recognized. The at- tack is often precided by malaise, restlessness and perverted vision. A sufferer will frequently eay: "Oh, am blind with a, headachej" and she is in reality unable to see clearly. The pain is sharp and stabbing, and ie frequently in forehead and temple of side. The patient is very sensitive to light and sound and usually confines hersele to a darkened room. In some cases there is nausea and vomiting. The face ie pale and the pupil of the eyes large and in other cases the face is flushed and the pupils appear small. The duration of the attacks vary from a few hours to several days. in the intervals, which are often of definite duration, the patient will be quite well. A perfect cure is rare, but the sev- erity and frequenc3r of the seizures may be coneiderably lessened by treatment. In the interval the •treat- ment is that of neuralgia, and 'Ulla should be given by a physician. During an attack the patient should be kept at rest in a quiet, darkeued, well -ventilated route. She should un- dress and be kept warm in bed by hot water bottles at her feet and at her head. Small hotwater bottles are sold in the slams, which are of a size to easily hold againet the forehead. If nausea is not relieved by vomiting, drink six tumblerfuls of water (prefer- ably warm) rapidly one after the oth- er—this procedure will quickly dis- lodge any offending substance in the stomaeh and bring it away, and the pain generally subsides instantly, and the patient falls asleep at once. If there io or has been any constipation a bottle of citrate of magnesia should bo taken while preparing to get in bed. Tablets to relieve the pain are seldom necessary if one has vomited freely and taken a laxative.

The bacteria falling into milk from the air of the Stable hey° long been coneidered important factors in pro- ducing high counts, Investigations made in the stable cf the New York 'experiment Station, and in several neighbering stables, indicate that tra- der all ordinary conditions the num- ber of germs eo entering the milk is negligible. By teets made under an -artmeeel cow," by which milking con- dition% could isiereproduced without other disturbinglactors, it woe found that when the number of batteria in liter ef etable air were 10,000 or lees., the numbers getting into the liquid "milked': were sa small that their ad- dition to milk of any except the VerY highest grade could have ben detected only by the most careful Method of bucterial analesie. Jn the station stable, under any allowable condition1 of feeding or grooming the cows, the number of becteria in a liter et stablo air ate only one -fortieth of the 10,000 Per litre, eo the number falling into the milk front this soiree could not have been detteted in the milk, ln the other etablte where conditione were lees fas orabies than at the sta- thee and in eome instances very bad, the number of bacteria in the air ex- teeded 10,000 only once in •alt the trete, and woe above 100 in only five t ells.

Vint, the eggs aro more fer- tile and etronger. Second, more Moie- titre is in the air alia the conditione better for hatching. With those who strtudy incubation this is largely over- cern° by the use in some cases or moisture in the cellar; by applying water under the machines, and in other cases the ewe of, moisture ill the entelibie by using the sand traY-- a tray plated tinder or above the egg tray, filled in part with (sand, which is saturated with water and. kept in this condition thrOughoute a greater pert of the day with good results, There are two kinds of incubators, both good hatchers, the non -moisture and the so-called moisture; aleo the liot air and •liot water machine. Di the past amity were led to believe that tlie hot water machine was better be- caese of the moisture, but tiles is not the, fact. No more moisture comes from the hot water machine than from one in which the heat is obtained from itot air. The only advantage, if any, the hot water incubator has over tile hot air, is that in ease the lamp which suPplies the heat goes out, the hot water incubator would be longer in cooling off. In the large incubators hot water is the only systeni used, but in the smaller machines the ma- Jority of well-known incubators are hot air. The main essential in successful hatching is the placing of the madhine in a cellar, or room that does me,. undergo great temperature changee, and where moisture can be in a meas- ure retained. The cellar or room ehould have proper ventilation, with- out draughts. A well -ventilated cellar is the best place, although many good hatches have been made in the rooms ahoy° the ground. The second point to consider is in having a uniform temperature for the 21 days. In al- most all machines the directions call for 103 degrees for the 21 days and this will produce a goad hatch. Tem- perature should be maintained very evenly, especially .the first 10 days. very low or very high temperatures if kept up for a short time, may not kill the hatch, but will weaken the chicks to some degree. The strongest hatches result from the machine that has been kept at a uniform tempera- ture the 21 (lays. Cooling of the eggs should com- Mance at the fifth clay and. gradually increaie as the hatch proceeds. In this cooling the length of time de- pends largely on tho cellar tempera- ture and the time of the year. But cooling in a safe and Gene manner has been found beneficial. The mois- ture problem also depends largely on the cellar or room conditions, and to a certain degree the make of the ma- chine, although there is no question that moisture in some form is essen- tial during certain times of the year during dry periods, such as is found at times in March, when the ground iS frozen and high, dry winds the rule. These conditions must be taken in consideration local conditions. One must ereereise his own judgment at times. Dieubators and the ruler "'seven are for general conditions, and e those operating machines near the coast, or where the land is low, have more moisture than those who operate ma- chines at a higher level. A dry' room ing Stormy Dispositions. Temper storms seem to be frequent among the nursery folk. One little boy of about twa and a half years of age, with his acreame and stamping and flinging himself on the ground, drew the attention of a whole street in pity for his mother. She could do nothing with him, so left him and went on with the other children. At a cry from the bystanders she turned, to See the hoe*, temporarily demented, rush off the pavemEnt into The street. For- tunately, he was rescued In time; but what a life in that home and what a future for that boy! The incident brought to mind the urgency for a better understanding of the cauees and treatment of the young 'child's furious temper. It is often forgotten that neither the reasoning powers nor self-control are strong enough to restrain a child's aggressive energy. The habit of ee- straint over the primitive. propensities has not yet been set up. Consequent- ly, injudicious meat diet, nervous ex- citemer t, want of fresh air, or the - company of irritable, quarrelsome people foster a mental condition liable to be set ablaze by some slight ceuse, The will, whicli can be quite strong 'even in a baby, is roused to exertion, and then—the storm bursts and con- tinues usually until the boy is ex- hausted. Apart trout the physical aspect ot tereper and its treatment, •there are other methods to be followed. Pre - vendee of an otttburst is easier than its stoppage. The mother or nurse should watch for the immediate cause of these storms ared 'in- future should avoid thenl whenever possible by distracting the attention in Utile, or so nutuoeuvr- ing that tlie conditions are changed. Every outburst avoided is a gain to the chied, It is essential in dealing with a passionate child that his whole character and proptqlsities shottld be understood, so that that is possible can be done to help him. With con trot established and energy direeted to useful porpoess the boy stands a far better Chance of developing into, a man of strong character than another child of uniformly taint temperament. 4 PuffitteSs Tinder Eyes.

Stock of known merit 1-• A SOUTH SEA LECEND. One of the most Pieturesque legends connected with the solar beams is that told in elle islands of the South P'a- cirle, where sunbeoans are known as "the ropes of Maui." It is related that in former ;times the sun god, Ra, was not so regular in his habits as he is to -day. In fact, he caused the South Sea islanders much annoyance by set- ting in the morning, or at noon; or at other inopportune times, Just when his light was needed for the daily tasks of mankind, The great hero Maui undertook to cure him of these erratic habits, and the first step was to make the sun god prisoner. This was accomplished by layieg a series of six snares, made of strong cocoanut fibre, along the sun's path In the sky. When the deity next rose elven. Avalki, or the land of ghosts, the first noose encircled him, but slipped down and only caught hls tee; the second slipped, too, but canght the sun god's knees; the thied caught around his hips. Still Ra pressed oe, scarcely ham- pered by these contrivances. The fourth noose tightened around his waist, the fifth under his arms, and finally the sixth and last caught him around the neck and almost strangled him. Then the sun god confessed him- eelf vanquisbed aud, in fear of his life, promised Maui that he would in future adjust his daily journeys more in accordance with the comfort and convenience of mortal men. Re. was then allowed to proceed on his way, but Maui prudently declined to take off the ropes, which may still be seen hanging from the sun at dawn, and when he descends into the ocean at night. Hence the islanders say, when they behold the beams ra- isliating froth the sun, "Tema to Taura a Maui" ----See the rapes of Matte -- Philadelphia Enquirer. -How to Tell Fresh Eggs. If an egg is "strictly fresh" it will, when placed in a pan of water, lie on its side on the bottom. If stale it will starid on end, and if very old will rise to the surface, When just a few days old the egg will begin to tilt a trifle, \and as it ages more and more the ',angle at which it tilts will increase. 3••••••••••••••••••••••• 10.1.e...6.0.1•111 And How They Operation Ordered For Appendicitis—D'sed Dr. Chase's Kidney - lever Pills and. - Weis Complete- , ly Cured. iet Mrs. A.

Many peoplo seem to think that if they have had an operation for appendicitis they are iorever immune, and need have no further fear along that line, hut say emphatically, and I think you will agree I am right, that after an attack of Appendicitis, even though you haye aeon successfully operated upon arid the appendix remoeed, your troubles have only just begun unless you remove the cause. What was the cause of the appendicitis ? "The thoughtless will say inflammation in the aippendix. No, inflammation. in the appendix issappendicitis, but. what catteed the inflammation ? Constipation, yes, that is the prime cause. If you 'were never tonstipated you would! forever be safe. Appendicitis is only ono of the results of the retention of Xecal matter in the colon for too long , a period." There is no longer .any question that the real cause 'of appendicitis is constipation. By keeping the bowels regular you not only prevent appen.dicitis, but also a host of other ills, some of which are even more dangerous than appendicitis. Dr. Chase's Kiclney-Liver Pills are recommended to you in this connection, not as a mere relief liy effecting. the movement of tile bowels, but rather as a positive cure for constipation. As is well known, the bile secreted by the healthful action of the liver ,is NatUre's cathartic.

It is the Best Exercise, as Well as the Most Economical. THE ACUTE PAIN FROM NEURALGIA Permanently Cured Through the Use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, A clew medical writer has said_ Met "Neuralgia is a cry from the nerves for better blood," In other words, neuralgia, is net dieease-eit only a symptom, lint a very painful one. Neuralgia in the Stireat sign that your blood is weak, watery and impure; and that your nerves are orally starving, Dad blood is the one canse--rich, red blood the only cure. Tide gives You the real reason witY Dr, Williants* Pink Pills cure ueural- gia, They ere the only medicine that 'contains in correct proportions the element; needed. to make rich, red blood. This new, rich blood reaches the root of the trouble, soothes the Jangled nerves, drivee away the nag- ging, stabbing pain, and braces up your health in other ways as well. In Preof of these statements, Mrs. A, T (natal, Little Shemogue, N, B., saya: "A few years ago nay mother waa au intense Sufferer front neuralgia, which was located in her face, ilietia and shoulders. The pain, especially in her head, was intense: Sire doctored for some time without getting relief, and there seemed to be.no ceasing of the pain whatever, Insfeed it seemed to be extending, and her whole nervous . system became affected. Finally she decided to try, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After taking them far a while the pain in her bead became less se- vere, and of course this was a great relief to her. Under the continued use of the Pills she felt herself growing better and stronger each day, until shc was no longer a, imfferer, and was completely curecl, and as felt no eYnnis toms of the trouble since," You can get Dr. William' Pink Pills , from any mealeine dealer, or by mail post paid, at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, from The Dr Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. After all, there is probably only one form of exercise that is suitable for all ages and is at all times available, and that is to be taken in the open air the exercise which is probably the e most icleal-ewalking. The' Grecian women and Grecian men have given up an excellent illus- tration et the value of this kind of exercise. We are justified, therefore, in concluding that walking is probably the best aieround exercise; and it should be indulged in by every per- son, ir • et engaged in physical labor, to the xtent of at least five miles a day. As someone has wisely said, "Pro- bably the best medicine you could•take is two miles of oxygen three times a day. This is not only the best, but the cheapest and the most palatable. If suits all ages and constitutions. It is patented by infinite wisdom and sealed with a signet divine. It cures cold feet, hot heads, pale faces, feeble lungs and bad tempers. If two or three take it together it has still a mare striking effect. It has often been known to reconcile enemies, settle matrimonial quarrels and bring re- luctant parties to a state of double blessedness. This medicine never fails. Spurious forms are sometimes found in large cities, but get out into the country among the green fields:. or on the mountain tops, and you have it in perfection, as dispensed in the "great laboratory of nature." Benjamin Franklin, who was a wise philosopher as well as an „eminent statesman, believed that one hour walking was worth four hours horse- back riding, and more than equal to lolling 111 e carriage all day. lie was loathe even to compare the latter as a form of exerciee, ana doubtless would have been equally uncharitable to- wards auto -riding. - In the summer there is no better form of exercise than rowing, which has the beneficial results similar to w,alking. It is interesting to note the stress that is being placed by administratore of milli° health on the value and im- portance of physical exercise.

To Get the Right Idea Just Inquire of Any Healihy Boy. The art of bather% lias never been fully understood.

Others bathe at the slightest provocation—on railroad trains and when they ere vise iting a family of ten with only one bathroom, Such people would call for a bath anywere—on trolley car, on an excusion steamboat or when cross - 'lag the deeert of Sahara. Between these two extremes, the bathers and the non -bathers. there lies a vast gulf. If these people could only be brought together — by arbitration possibly—what a benefit to society!

The question, "Mee our .eyes weaker-" is frequently asked by people who ob- serve cioseiy and who are dismayed by the remarkably large number of people who wear glasses to -day as compared with a. generation or so ago. Our eyeh are not degeneratirfg. The eyes of the Present generation are in no wise boor- cr. weaker or inferior to those or our ancestors, notwithstanding tiee Tact tnat a far =eater percentage wear glasses than formerly. The probabilities are that the• eyes of the human race are neither 'weaker nor stronger to -day than were those of our forefathers, unless it can be proved that the whole physique of the race to -day is weaker or stronger. As is the ethede physical body. so are the eyes. I3ut much more is tequireci or our cyoe tow than was ever required of our an- cestors. The strenuoue struggle fur ex- istence to -day. the ever increasing com- plexity of our modern civilized life, the multiplying knowledge of the world in ell 1111013 of human endeavor, knowledge that must be mastered if we wallet rise and acbive success, put far greater strain on the eyes of this generation than on those that have gone before.
