A CONTAGIOUS DTsEAsE.-At little village
in Illinois, not far from Woodstock, they have
a benevolent association, one of whose OBJ
jects is to watch with and take care of its
sick members. Last fall an unmarried, young
lady was admitted to membership. In a
couple of months she was blessed with a
bright-eyed babe, and was very sick. Some
of the young lady members expressed to the
chief officer of the association their indigna-
ton, and asked him If he really thought it
their duty to visit the unfortunate one
"Well," said he, after much deliberation, ~
suppose not. You are not obliged to watch
where there is contagious disease"

TIMOTHY HAY AND CLOvER-wHIcH IS THE
BEST FOR MICH Cows with regard to the
comparative value of timothy and clover hay
for milk, Mr.. Capron, an Illinois farmer, is
cited who being largely engaged in the milk
business, made an experiment in order to
thoroughly test the matter. Allthe food was
weighed and the two kinds alternated with
each other once month. He gives us an
average result that clover hay makes ten per
cent. the most milk.
According to the analysis of Professor Way
the relative nutrit:ve value or the two plants
