STANDARD FOOD FOR COWS.
Professor Thomas Slaw thineertam
foods may be tooaed upon les standard
for feeding dairy cows, and that every
deiryman eon:Brow them, wherever lte
leaky be located. Tuese include as hough
-
age plants a the elover family; as en
-
age, corn in one .or tue other of it,s vari-
etiesawl `es a grain, a mixture of
wheat and oats. Uf course, in addition
theee, many other footle should be
grown, but these are less important than
tee foods named.
Professor Shaw says that whenever
the clover plant can be grown it ought
to be used with much ireedora. 'rue
food furnished for cows represents only
one element in its value. The elect on
the moil is tuways helpful, and in many
instances greatly so. eisuelly clover coo
be best grown in mixtures for dairy
cow*. This means that two or three
' varieties may be grown together. It
would also seem correist to say that
quitea sprinkling of tim3thy improves
a clover ration for dairy eJw$. It doee
so by helping to support the clover while
it is,growing, and by ineking it easier to
cure when the crop is cat. Alfalfa, will
answer the sante purpose as clever.
Where neither may bo letil it may be
quite possible to get vetch or cow -pea
atty.
Professor Shaw thinks no• food. can be
grown in the United States that woe
provide so large a propertion ot nutro
ents as corn. But the nutrients furnish-
ed de not tell all the story. In addition
to nutrition, when mold in the silo it.
succulence is beneficial, lt is helpful to
the digestion. It also favors milk pro-
duction. These are two advantages if
always heve over corn fodder ted
the dry form.
Clover and corn fodder furnish a
loU-
der ration that cannot easily be unprov-
ed upon for dairy cows. Two Metork
should be taken into ateount when de.
termining the amount of grain to feed.
One is the extent to whien clover oe
alfalfa is fed, and the second is the pro
duetion nf V•e cow. 'rhe rule with som
is to feed one pound of grain tor ever;
three pounds of milk produced. Whel
clover or alfalfa forms large part
the ration it would see mreasonabei t
suppose that a leas ugantity ot grant
would suffice•than the amounts aamece
THE WORK HOUSE.
The work horse needs food that is not
only concentrated but nutritious. But
tbat is not all. Dr. Alexander says the
concentrate ehould supply to the high-
est degree, and in the least bulk, the
• greatest proportion of ingredients most
needed for repair of tissue consumed in
work, and at the soane time provide the
neceesary amount of force, vigor and
heat. Oats have been found to be the
beat food to meet these requirements,
while corn cannot fill the bill, being
an incomplete foocd. Oats make mus-
cle and a the sante time supply vita alai
vibor, some heat and much force, While

RETURNS PER COW. •
(Department of Agriculture, Dairy Diel -
sloe, Ottawo.)
Out of 2,400 cewa tested last month
in. Ontario for members of cow -testing
assoeiatione, 895 ed them, or over one-
third of the total number recorded, gave
yields of over 1,000 pounds of milk and.
33 pounds of batter fat. Many cows
gove over du pounds of fat. In sharp
contrait are some 13w average yields,
from all coWS Included in three or four
assoelations, of lese than 20 pounds of
fat, With butter fet valued eply at 20
cents per pound, thie means taitt good
cows are earning $3 per month more
than poor cows. If this average es mul-
tiplied by a milking period. of ten
months, it follows that there is actually
a difference in theincome from two
snit cows of as much as $30 in the sea-
son.
Those astonishing differences are onty
brought to light and to the apprehen-
sion of owners when they begin to re-
cord weights of milk and to take sane-
pfee for testing. If cows are viewed,
from a right perepective (a full season's
satisfaetoiy production and not a brief,
near-sight4d glimpse of a record for a
day or a week) not one will be retained
in the herd that does not returo a
good profit; and such common differ -
ewes as noted above wiil not be possible
in the properly selected clEry herd, each
cow selected on the bests of her individ-
ual demonstration of prelit made. Ev-
ery dairy farmer will find it advantage-
ousto keep dairy reeorda.

band his own resources and maintain the
fertility of the soil by returning to it
the elemeitts of whleh it was robbed in
producing a crop? The answer Is eina
.ple. A ton of averege fresh manure
contains ten pounds of nitrogen, five
Runde of phosphorie acid and ten
pounds of potash. At the pricee which
these elements of plant food would cost
in commercial fertilizere the value of
manure Would be $2.50 a ton, Tbis doe
not take into account the value of the
organic matter furnished, which inay be
greater than that of the plant food.
That this theoretical valuation is very
conservative is shown by the result of
many field experiments, by various ex-
periment stations and by practical
farmers. The value as shown by the
increased coops has equalled and often
exceeded this theoreticel valuation.

saying to the Bishop, "My lord, you
have very good strawberries in your
garden in Holborn. I require you to let
us have a mess of them." This speecei
was copied almost verhatine by Shakes-
peare in "Richard 111." Still, even the

JOHN FISK ON IMMORALITY.
The faith in immortal life is • the
great poetic achievement of tbe human
mina.
Belief in inaMartality is the one thing
that makes this world habitable for be-
iuge construe.ted like ourselves.
The destruction of the sublime con-
ception of inintortality would be like de-
priving a planet of its atmosphere.
The erude primcval gloat world is
always clueedly aseodated with the ethi-
cal side of life; oet of this association
have °Town some of the meet colossal
governing ageneies by which the devel-
opment of humaresodety has been inflii-
eneed.
The faet that primitive inan misstated
his relation to the Unseen World in no
wise militates against the truth of his
oftemnption that such a m'orld exists.

ebelief in a future life is oevil
with the begitiniugs a the human race,
in the history of evolution.
The belief in a future life is one. of
the diferential attributers of humanity.
Man is not the only animal that pos-
sesses articulate speech and the power
of reasoning; he ia the only creature who
expects to survive the event of physical
death.
That wholesale (skepticism which is
directedagainst whatever exists or has
existed in the shape of an ancient belief
that violent outbreak of materialistic
atheism of the eighteenth century, is
surely. one of the most mournful epi-
sodes in the history of human thought.
We yet sometbnes are entertained by
a belated. eighteenth century naturalist
who is fully persuaded that his denial
of bureau Immortality ia an inevitable
corollary from thaafoctrine of evolution.
The more we try to explain, the bet-

or three hired hands, After lareakfaet
she milked about six cows, strained the
milk and put it away in the milk house.
During • the forenoon she whiled away
her time churning a few gallons ot
cream in the old-fashioned dash churn.
Maybe the, hater came in half an hour,
maybe it didn't. Then there was the
butter to work and be fashioned into
rolls. Of course the house had to be
swept and the beds 2nade. Bread and
pies had to be made and baked. Ott
Monday the washing had to be done.
Before it could be flinehed dinner had
to be prepared for a lot of men with
appetites that would make that of an
anaconda seem mincing and sickly.
While the men took the nom reet the
woman washed the dishes and cerried
the empty crooks down to the spring
house. In the afternoon, in berry time,
she 'picked a bushel or two of berries
and rested herself puttiug them tip in
cans for winter use. Then she got sup.
pr ready and after that washed the
dishes again, swept the house, Milked
the six or seven cows, ana from that on
to 10 o'clock mended torn garments, put
pate.bes on the boys' pants, :tuned the
farmer's socks and sewed the buttons
tot his shirts. She worked on the eight-
hour plan, two shifts per clay of eight
hours era. it was no particular won-
der that many a farmer's wife at forty
looked like a woman of eiely. Her
heir grew prematurely grey and the
lilies of care and worry came into tier
fee° wbile it still- ought to have been
fresh with the plumpness of youth.
An increase of the fermer's landed
posseesions means for the farmer's wife
an increase of labor. fie could hire
help, but it was hard to get hired girls
on the farm. It is perhaps mutt better
now. We sincerely hope so, for in the
old days the ferule:de wife worked more
hours and worked harder while she did
work than any other laborer we knew
anything about.
How to Cure Toothache.
Amy eehing tooth can be relieved he-
stantly with Nerviline. Fill the cavity
with batting dipped in Nerviline and
rub the gums with Nerviline also. If the
face is ewollen and sore bathe the pain-
ful par& with Nerviline and cover with
a flannel, This can't fail because Nervi -
late kills the pain outright and prevents
it from returning. Stronger, quicker,
more satisfactory than any other lini-
ment, Nerviline has been the largest sel-
ler for nearly fifty years; try it your-
self, 25e per bottle.

STREET MEETINGS.
.(Montreal Witness) •
We must have In Montreal one law for
every form of religion and if the Jews
want to hold a religious meeting they
have as much right to as any other body,
And must be protected in that right with
the utmost power of tne civic authority.
The acting Itfayor draws a distinotien—
a very reasonable one—oetween preach-
ers like those of the Salvation Army,
who never attack anybody, and thoe
who hold meetings for no other purpeee
than denunciation. It Is not easy, how'
ever, to act upon this distinction. Even
if the addresses were always In language
familiar to the police, the people wOuld
not be prepared to ntake police officers
the Judges of what may or play not be
sacken. Nor can the judgment' of neigh-
bors be accounted a safe court of appeal.

C may not know, my God; no hand re-

Along the path a deepening shadow

No voice replies
To all my questioning thought, the time

And it is well.

Thy will/always,
Through a long century's fruition,
Or a short . day's.
Thou cludst not come too soon; need

If Thou come late.

EVIL EVERYWHERE.
(..knonynaoua.)
It can't be denied that • iniquity
does abount. There ;le hardly a sin
known to ,man but is eximthoze in our
land. Fraud and dishonesty are pre-
valent, embezzlements and defalca-
tions are the order of the day. Be-
cause of profanity the 'laid mourns,
the Sabbath is desecrated, and God's
ordinances are despised. Hypocrites
are walking abroad unstispeeted. In-
temperance, that mighty giant, is
stalking through our land, killing
every years thousands of those who
shduld be the brain and brewn of our
young country, and he who winks at
these evils is unworthy of the bless-
ings of Canadian citizenship, awl
should be accounted a traitor to the
flag that gives him proteetionrm not
a peesimiste Pm not like that foreign-
er, who, having just entered the coun-
try, was asked evhat side of politics
he was on, old said he didnat know,
but he Was "agin the government." I
trust and believe that the leaven put
into our public life by thegood, and true
will hero the effect of leavening the
whole lump. But we can't shut OUT
eyes to the fact that there is apt to be
here as in all young countries, an ever-
growing mass of blackguardism and dor-
ouption, There are political schemer*
in every party who are mean enougit
to do anything that will lift them Into
°Hite and secure their own personal ag-
grandimment, judases who would sell
their character for copper, their soul
for silver, and. their Godafor gold.. To
our credit and rejoicing be it said that
the leaders a the two great political
parties are men on whom no one with
;natio ean point to a stain either in
their public or private life. "God give
us more ouch men—a time- like tido
demands" them. Men, like Henry Clay,
in the trated States; who onee said:
"I had rather be right that be Presi-
dentl" Men in whose bosoms there
glows the fire Of a tat ambition to
be the saviours Of their country, Vitith
such men there would me no limits to
our moral etrength, no bounds to out
greatness.
