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 The McKillop Mutual Fire Insuran€e Company.

While the heat fs very obstinate about going down- ward, we must not infer that cold Is as obstinate about going 'upward. The region of perpetual snow upon the tops of our highest mountains, proves that cold does not always seek the lowest points upon the earth.

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. HERE AND THERE. AN ATTEMPT TO BREAK UP A TIME-HONORED HABIT.

Undismayed sty Others' tedium to the Past Mr. Monett alae Started a New Propaganda. "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 badge and POTATOES AND. SALT.

By way of spreading the principles of the club the founder has issued the following circular :- "I was not looking for fame or any- thing of the kind when I introduced the "Non -Treating Club' to the good people of Cook county, but I have al- ways believed each and every one of us was put on this earth for some good, and being somewhat of a "Bo- hemian,' and not being in a position to offer my services as a volunteer in the recent misunderstanding between Uncle Sam and Mr. Spain.

"I did not imagine it would spread beyond Chicago, but as the newspap- ers all over the country have taken it up I have simply been 'snowed under' with applications for membership, which is an indication that the club meets with the approval of the large majority.

At the recent water sport exhibition in London of the Ilex and Scottish 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 the earns moment, turn in air with the same ourve and doneend, a beautiful i[stoat of harmonious repose, plump nto the tank.

Competent authorities estimate that from eighty to ninety per cent. of the entire population of this continent suffer from someformof this repulsive and dangerous malady. 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. 0 Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder never fails. It is the remedy of all remedies, endorsed by the most ex- perienced and eminent nose and throat specialists of the day, and having a record of a multitude of radical, per- manent cures of chronic cases which had been declared incurable. It also cures cold in the bead, influenza, hay fever, loss of stnell, deafness, sore throat, tonsilitis, asthma and all simi- lar diseases. It Is delightful to use. " I have had chronic catarrh ever shoo the war," says J. C. Taylor, of aro N. Clinton Ave., Trenton, N. J "I had despaired of ever being cured. I used three bottles of Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder and my catarrh has entirely left me." Rev. C. E. W httcombe rector of St. Matthew's Episcopal Churg Hamilton, Ont., was a great sufferer. He used Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder, and now pro- claims it a safe, simple and certain cure. The Lord Bishop of Toronto, Can., re- commends the remedy otter his own signature. Sold by druggists.
