DAIRY FAMIING.
Many farmers in seeking some line
of agricultural pursuit that may prove
remunerative to some degree are turn-
ing their attention to dairy farming.
There are advantages that come from
this line of effort, one of the chief of
which is an acknowledged improvement
of the farm. This is an important
consideration, but not the sole one to
be thought of. 'While it is beet to
pursue such course as will secure the
improved condition of the farm, there
should always be a desire which is laud-
able to get a fair income as a result of
labor performed and of capital invest-
ed.
All who engage in dairy farming do
not make it a success, but some do.
Upon this point Prof. Patterson says:
"Success in dairy farming depends
really upon three facts- the man, the
cow and the feed." Regarding the
man, he should have a good range of
knowledge and be possessed of sound
judgment. He should give regular
and proper attention to the business;
he should be a keen observer and have
a proper sensibility of neatness and
cleanliness; be should have a mild and
even temper, so that it may not be
said of him as of the man who was
ugly to his cows and thought "the
devil was in his cows," who, on being
rebuked in his treatment, acknow-
ledged that "tate devil was in him-
self."
Regarding the cow, no dairyman
should be satisfied with any animals
but those of the best ; they may cost
some more, but it must be remembered
that the cost of feed for a good cow
Ls no more than for a poor one, while
the returns are very many times

WHITE SCOUR, 1N CALVES.
In reply to a. question on this sub-
ject asked of the North British Agri-
culturist, a correspondent of that
journal wrote as follows: "At one time
I was greatly troubled with this
scourge and lost many calves. About
six years ago I got the following cure
trom a neighboring farmer, and it has
never failed: When a calf is seen to
be affected give from three ounces to
silt ounces castor oil or linseed oil, ac-
cording to age; then next morning,
two hours before the calf is fed, give
the following: One-third ounce powd-
ered rhubarb, one drachm flowers of
sulphur, four ounces brown sugar,
given in two gills of warm milk or wee
ter. If given in time one dose stops
the scour, butifnot, repeat the second
morning, and nlways make the calf
fast two hours after, and feed sparingly
for a few days. In very bad eases a
third dose may be needed. I do not
think anyone who tries the above and
keeps his calves comfortable need ever
lose a calf with white scour."
greater ; neither is the care and atten-
tion any more for a good one than for
a poor one. It is a fact that the feed,
labor or care and attention are dis-
proportionate in a poor animal when
compared with a good one.
It is not necessary that cows should
be thoroughbreds to secure good re-
sults; excellent animals are found
among natives and grades, and it is
these that should be sought after at
all times. The great object should be
to secure those that have descended
from well known milk and butter
strains.
Dairymen can hardly expect to get
satisfactory cows on the market, for
one who sells will hardly sell his cows,
and as any section of country advances
in dairying and the records of animals
become known, the more difficult will
it be to purchase good cows. •
Regarding feed, it is hardly neces-
sary to mention so plain a fact as that
one cannot expect to secure something
from nothing. With good cows but
poor and insufficient feed no satis-
factory results need be looked for.
Cows should be supplied with a good
quantity of coarse feed of first quality
supplemented by grain rations. In
this age of general discussion of pro-
per rations for animals it is not neces-
sary to even suggest articles of food,
but: it is important to urge that one
be satisfied only with those that are
recognized to be the best for the speci-
fic purpose of milk or butter produc-
tion.
Observing these considerations, the
farmer who desires to launch into the
field of dairying may look for a reason-
able degree of auccess; without them,
he may expect disappointment.
COULDN'T SCARE HER.
PURE BREEDS BETTER THAN
COMMONce
With all classes of stock it will have
to be acknowledged that the better the
stock the better the price it will bring.
We find this rule, says a writer in an
eastern exchange, will apply to poul-
try, and pure-bred stock will pay bet-
ter than common evon for market pur-
poses.
But, says one, why will pure breeds
pay better 1 In answering this ques-
tion we will say that, in the first place,
they are larger, we are now speaking
of market poultry, not the smaller
breeds, grow faster and mature ear-
lier, besides their bodies are more com-
pact and quality of meat better -
Suppose you have two flocks of chick-
ens -ono common, the other pure-bred
-they are the same age and have been
fed in the same way. Now send fifty
each of these to market and see the
result. We will suppose them to be
about three weeks old. The fifty com-
mon chickens will weigh about seven-
ty-five pounds and the other 100 lbs.
-a difference of twenty-five pounds,
would be $2.50. The care has been
the same- and cost of feed the same.
Again, the difference in egg pro-
duction is quitean item. The average
common hen will not lay over about
8 dozen eggs per year, while the pure-
bred ben will lay an average of about
twelve dozen per year -a difference of
four dozen, which, at fifteen cents,
about the average price for this sec-
tion of the country, would be sixty
NON -TREATING CLUB NOW
MAKING A CeeMENT FLOOR.
A good way to make a cement floor
is to excavate to the depth of about
five inches and fill in about four inch-
es of this with broken stone, as in pre-
paring for macadamizing a road. Mix
the cement with sand and water, so
that it will be quite thin, and will 'run
easily. Let it fill 0,11 the openings
and cover all the stones. Allow this
to set. Then give the whole a coat-
ing with a trowel the same as in ce-
menting a cistern, using one part of
cement to three parts of good sand.
A floor built in this manner will last
indefinitely if the cement used is first
class.

"Treating," if the efforts of Mr. E.
T. Monette, of Chicago, accomplish
what that gentleman wishes, may
soon be as obsolete as the Dark Ages.
Under the Monett supervision there
has been started in Chicago a "Non -
Treating Club." This, contrary to
what might be supposed, has been
welcomed enthusiastically and has
hopes of becoming a powerful nation-
al organization. There are plans afoot
for establishing a chapter in every
big city in the land.
The "Non -Treating Club," Mr. Mo-
nett being a railroad official, has
been founded principally for travel-
ling men, It is young as yet in length
of days. but already five thousand
buttons and cards have been distri-
buted, and ten thousand more are on
the point of being scattered, Mr. Mo-
nett designed the button of the club,
which is of a white surface, with the
letters "N. T. C." in a well of blue,
and he wants each member of the as-
sociation, and any one, in fact, who
believes in the principles, to wear thio

Swimming Clubs several startling
feats were shown. The hardy Soots
aroused great enthusiasm by showing
how a company of hardy Highlanders
could swim across a stream in action
and keep their rifles in readiness for
work. But the crowning feat was the
twin brothers' diving sot, done by two
members of the Ilett Club, evenly
matched in height and weight. The die-
ttence dived was not excessive, but it
required nice judgment for the two
young men, hand in band and olhsping
each other's bodies, to leap at exactly

world is that on which the Eddystone
lighthouse stands. At low water It
' is 30 -feet in diameter; at high water
the lighthouse, whose diameter at the
base is 24-34 feet, completely covers
it. It is inhabited by three persons.
It lies nine miles off, the Cornish
coast, and fourteen miles south-west
of Plymouth breakwater. Faltholme,
Ian island in the British Channel, is

has fastened its relentless grip upon
some member of nearly every family
in the land. Competent authorities
estimate that from eighty to ninety
per cent. of the entire population of
this continent suffer from someformof

If you or any of your family suffer
either from recognized catarrh or
from the lingering colds which mark
its early stages -don't trifle with it.
It is the precursor of consumption
and death.
