These COWS C011tillIlled ale proximately sixty pounds of ensilitge and one potma of cottouseed meal pee bead daily. During this period they made an average daily gain of 1.17 pounds per head.

Computing ensilage at $3.50 per ton the cost of wintering the twenty cows on ensilage was $260 or $14 per head. In additiou the cows consumed cottonseed meal to the value of $42.

Orval Taylor Ladies' and Gent's Tailor Wilson Block, Wixghani One of the peculiarities of the Hereford is that on account a the strong constitution the sire im- presses his progeny with the color and markings of the breed in al- most every case, no matter what the breed of the dam may be. It is In the touch more than anything else that the true Hereford Is iden- tified, for It has not the thin skin and light flesh that so many in- ferior cattlo have. Almost the only breed with which the Hereford does not impress his color is no Angus. They divide the honor, having the black body of the one and the white face of the other, but the hide has not the distinctive touch that a well bred Hereford steer should have. The illustration shows a Hereford steer of high quality. gre6 below zero at times. These cows .when turned to grass neule satisfac- tory daily gains, indicating that ensi- lage when fed in large quantitlea, ns was the case in this instance, is in no manner whatever injurious. • it may be of interest to know that 8,840 pounds of manure were produced during the 140 day period by each cow. This computed at $1.50 per ton means a value of $13.63. As each cow gained 104 pounds in weight Allis in - Crease of 5 cents a pouud amounts to $8.20. It is true that this added ,weight has iu reality no intrinsic value unless the cow is marketed, but it does mean that the cow goes on to the grass in a good fleshy cot:WM.1a Those of our readers who have a supply of ensilage at hand might profit by a perusal of the results obtained in this instance. If an experiment sta- tion can obtain these economical re- sults on ensilage and a small amount of cottonseed meal daily there is no reason why there will not be a similar outcome it' the same plan is carried out under average farm conditions. Salting the Butter. Butter is salted pritnarily because the popular taste demands it and in- cidentally for its preservative effects, although the latter are not very mark- ed, The uniform incorporation of va- rying amounts of salt as the trade 'demands is very important so far as tbe appearance of the butter is con- cerned. It has been my experience that salt distributed as uniformly as possible among the granules worked to the point where they are in a com- pact mass, with the moisture glisten- ing on the surface, then allowed to stand for twenty or thirty minutes, thou worked about an equal length of thne more, will give a more complete incorporation of salt and do away with quite a little of the pressure necessary if worked in from the first without al - owing time for the salt to dissolve. It Pays to Know. 'A certain dairyman has increased the yield of his herd to a wonderful extent by the use of a pure bred sire, says the National Stockman. This bull's heifers and young cows have proved to be re- markable milkers and be is now a very valuable animal though no longer young. The point in all this is that the dairyman found out the bull's value by the slinple process of keeping a record of what each member of the herd pro- duced. Without such a record he might have sold the heifers too cheap, he might have let the bull go to the butcher or he might have let some wiser man have him. It always pays to know what dairy cows are doing, and it pays in several different ways. Live Stock In Demand.

In politics the plurality is the great- est of more tban two numbers and is also the excess of the highest number of votes cast for any one candidate over the tiext highest number. When O candidate receives out 01 10,000 votes east 4,000 and two other candidates re- ceive respectively 3,500 and 2,500, the first is elected by a plurality, though he has received less time a majority of the whole vote, and be is said to have a plurality of 500 votes. If the num- hers are 0,000, 3,000 and 1,000, the ma- jority is 2,000 and the plurality is 3,000. A majority, therefore, must be more than half the entire vote cast, and a candidate's majority is, then, the difference between the lltimber of votes Pc received and the combined ntnnber of votes cast for all other candidates; his plurality is the difference between his own number ntid the number re- ceived by the candidate nearest to hitn Timid About Bathing.

When the freighter Ilardy steamed out or Le Treport, Prance), elie carried besidee the mineral water in ber hold n manlier of einall wooden eases mark. ed "mistallie sodium." The climate' was rough. The vessel coiled end pitched violently. The cap - Min saw that the ship was listing to port noa, suspecting that the cargo was shifting, sent a boatswain below to investigate. As the boatswain en- tt red the hold he saw Hint several yeses of mineral water had broken and that the water was swishing about in the hold. Then suddenly he saw ono of the wooden cases marked "sodluns" burst Into flame. Immediately he gave the alarm, and the crew rushed to their Ore stations. The captain directed the men to play the hose into the hold. AS the first stream a water struck the burning ease there were several explosions as package 01101' peckage within the case eatight fire. Ily tide time two other cases of sodium had broken open, and their contents as they came in contact with the water from the hose burst into flames. The crew could not believe their eyes. The more- water they poured on the Gre the more intense grew the con- flagration. Then suddenly two cases flew into the air, crashed against the overhead beams and spread out in sheets of fire, the smaller pieces drop- ping back only to bounce and dance about, hot balls of flame, in the half swamped hold. Panic stricken, the crew dropped the hose lines and fled above decks. But the captain ordered the cargo flung into the sea and led his men back into the hold. They succeeded in throwing several of the cases overboard. But as each case hit the waves it rebounded into the air, a flaming ball. The superstitious crew was fast be- coming unmanageable, and the captain saw that in any case he must abandon the ship. He ordered the crew to the boats not one moment too soon, for as the boats rowed away' from the blaz- ing bulk several loud explosions came from tbe hold. Then there was one mighty detonatle.,n. The freighter broke in two and plunged out of sight. The origin of the fslei was, of course, In the sodium.- katitu.e> is a peculiar metal, which oxydizes rapidly when water touches it and dames as soon as the water becomes warm. According to the chemist's classification, it is the second member of the alkali group that includes lithium, potassium, rubidium and caesium. All of these eleraents Parc the same characteristics as so- dium in greater or less degree. The sodium should have been shipped in hermetically sealed tin cans inclosed In wooden eases. But the rolling of the ship and the careless stowing of the cargo broke open some of these cases, and the sodium, which was not properly packed, was liberated. --Bos- ton Herald. Couldn't Do Housework HEART WAS SO BAD. Mrs. Thomas Melville, Saltcoats, Sask., writes: -"I thought it my duty to write and tell you how much your Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills did for me.

My husband had taken some of your pills, some years ago, and insisted on me trying them, so I started, and be- fore I had taken them two weeks I was considerably better, and before I had taken two boxes I was doing my own work again.

WHERE MONEY IS USELESS. --- Ascension Island Has None and Has No Need For It. The island of Ascension, in the At- lantic, belonging to Great Britain, is of volcanic formation, eight miles by six in size, and has a population of about 450. It was uninhabited until the confinement of Napoleon at St. Helena, when it was occupied by n small Brit- ish force. It is 280 miles northwest of St. Helena. Vast numbers of tuttles are found on its shores, and it serves as a depot and watering place for ships. Aseension is governed by a captain appointed by the British admiralty. There Is no private property in land, no rents, no taxes and no use for Mon- ey. The flocks mid herds are publie property, and the meat is issued as re. - tions.
