Protecting Live Stock in Winter.

The farmer or raiser of live stock who
does not keep his animals from losing fat
and flesh during the winter months is not
an economical manager. Whenever cow
or horse has been exposed to cold and
wet storm large quantity of food is con-
sumed to generate animal heat. If the
supply of food is insufficient the fat that
has been secreted in the system will be
employed to keep the beast warm. Bears
frequently retire to their winter refugees
rolling IN fat. But when gentle spring
returns their tat is all gone, having been
consumed to maintain the heat and life of
the animals during cold weather. Cows
and oxen often come from the pasture
field at the close of the growing season in
an excellent condition as to flesh and fat,
but before the winter is half gone they are
spring poor, having used up nearly all
their fat to keep their bodies comfortably
warm.
Every Intelligent farmer will admit that
keeping neat cattle on tallow rather than
fodder, meal and comfortable sheds or
stables is most improbable and expen-
sive mode of maintaining live stock in
cold weather. Let anyone view this sub
ject in its true light and he will at once
discover that it is extremely bad policy
to allow animals of any sort to draw even
a small portion of nourishment from the
secrctions of the body. For example-a
cow or an OK often loses 200 pounds of
fat and flesh during the winter months.
Every reader cancompute the cash value Of
100 pounds of fat and flesh in his own
locality, then he can compute the cost of
erecting comfortable sheds and the ex-
pense Of little more feed, u sufficiency
to enable the COW or OK TO retain all the
fat and flesh that were secreted. Prudent
managers cannot afford to keep their live
stock on fat and flesh, as the enormous
expense incident to such practice will
consume all the profits.-N. Y. Herald.

the past had been dream, for even when
Kiddini's influence was strongest upon her
there had always been lingering thought OF
Tom Perks in her memory: and now that he
was again by her side she experienced
sense of peace to which she had long been .
stranger. 49,
How pleasant was the story told In Mr..
Jobbins' kitchen that autumn morning! Aud
vet twas an old tale. But whether whispered
under shady trees, in drawing room, attic or
cellar, 1t has the same interest as Of yOre, and
until time itself shall cease will remain ever
fresh and dear.
The following year, when spring was laps
ing into summer, another wedding party set
out for the parish church: and this time there
was no interruption to the service nor OppO-
sition on the part of Mrs. Jobbins and her
daughters, who persistently expressed their
opinion that in marrying Mr.. Perks Susan had
indeed acted wisely. The $40 in the savings
bank was not required, and in that secure
depository the money remained for many
year afterward.
As for Kiddini, he Is about the country
pursuing his profession, but Susan has never
seen him since the memorable occasion at
the church-pOrch, and save at Christmas
time, when her husband-now the owner OF
three grocery establishments in the metrop-
olis-takes herself and the children to see
pantomime, her thoughts never revert tn
harlequins or their associations.
Amid her prosperity Su an does not forget
her old acquaintances, and there is ALWAYS .
hearty welcome for cook whenever she likes
to call. susan's sympathetic heart often
bleeds for her friend, who has married
house-painter, earning in his best times
twenty eight shillings per week, and who is
given to spending his wages in drink, and
then ill-treating his wife. Perhaps the time
is shortly at hald when cook will leave her
husband and take up her abode permanent
ly with the Perkses.
Thus Susan, after nearly committing an
act which would have wrecked her future,
has become transformed from the trimmest
housemaid to the happicst wife iu the district
of Bloomsbury.-Belgravia annual.

THE total value of dutiable imports IN
October last was ga, 1915, 219, against
$31 200, 147 for the previous October-a
decrease of SO, 1884 ,92S. This decrease of
dutiablc imports would indicate decrease
of something like 100000 in customs
revenue. This rate of decrease continued
throughout the fiscal year would bring
the receipts from customs from $20, OO0,-
600 to SIS ,OOO, 600 below Mr.. Bristow's es-
Inmates. The most important item in
which there was decrease was brown
sugar, that article having been imported
to the value Of only 81, 790. 400 during last
October, against "a ,07O,62 the previous
October. There was q considerable de-
crease also in wooden imports, while in the
foreign iron trade there was no sign Of
improvement.

What Shall We DOT

IT IL no wonder that we hear this question
on every corner. So many are dying sud-
denly of diseases OF the brain in these days
that everyone is alarmed, and Is asking:
"What shall we doy" There Is alarm on ac-
count of dizziness of the head, whirling
sensation when rising up suddenly, bad,
all gone" sensation at the pit of the stom-
ach, like the gnawing of an ulcer, with a
feeling like load after eating, pains in the
back, sides and chest, at times, with costive
bowels, scanty, high-colorcd urine, some
times voided with pain, appetite poor, and
when food is eaten it oftcntimcs distrcsecs;
the skin, after time, becomes dark, cold
and clammy, eyes sunkca and tingcd with
yellow, spirits detected. with evil forebod-
iMgs. When any of these symptoms are
present no time should t,c lost in using \
proper remedy. The one that we have
known to operate with the most certainty is

One of the best methods of protecting
half-tcnder roses and other shrubs is to
surround the plant to proper height with
leaves or half-decayed manure from a
straw stack, then surround the whole with
sods, forming cone. Of course the
shrub is pruned before the operation Is
begun. When snow falls pack that around
the mounds to prevent the harboring of
mice. Some cover with a box, filing in
with leaves and straw. Another plsn is
to remove the earth beneath the plant and
a little distance from one side and bend 1t
over to cover with earth or s0ds.-Detroit
Tribune.
Whenever snow falls, paths should at
once be made around the premises, wher-
ever needed, both for health and conven-
fence, especially Of the ladies'. Shoveling
snow with a common short handled shovel
is slow, hard work. A better shovel is
made thus: Take light, tough, half-inch
board, twenty inches long and foot wide.
Sharpen one end and ever it rivet strip
of thin sheet-iron, bent sharp to fit the
edge; this forms the cutting edge. Across
the other end nail firmly piece an inch
thick, five inches wide, and long enough
to extend across the shovel-board. Bore
an inch hole through this, slanting down
ward and forward, SO that the handle
when passed through the hole will strike
the board three or four inches in front of
the crosspiece. Bevel the end of the handle
to fit the shovel board, and fasten it with a
staple. The handle should be long enough
to work without STOPPING, and the whole
thing should be as light as possible

were on the line and obstructed the cross

How an Actress Antecedents We're
Betrayed.

Some years ago the manager of a we'll
line of the Erie Canal, engaged a young
lady as supernumerary. 1t SO happened
that the young lady otficiated as "hand"
on board canal boat, fact which she
was anxious to conceal. She evinced
much anxiety to master the details Of her
newly chosen profession, and exhibited
more than ordinary talent. She was duly
promoted and, in due time, became a gen.
eral favorite with both manager and the
public. One night, when she was to ap-
pear in favorite part, a couple Of boat
men found their way into the pit, near the
footlights, anxious to see the famous
Coincidence The house was crowded and,
after the subsistence of the applause which
greeted her appearance, one of the boat
men slapped his companion on the
shoulder and exclaimed, loud enough to
be heard over half the house:
"Bill, know that galr'
"Pshaw!'' said Bill; shut up.''
"But I'm sure l do, Bill. It's Sal
Flukins, as sure as you're born. She's
old Flukins' daughter, that used to run
the Injured Polly, and she used to sail
with him.
AOH, oaAu Lilly you ~ q AOoA, "Au
if you don't stop your internal clack
you'll get put out. Sal Flukins! You
must know sight, if you think that's
her."
Tom was silenced, but not convinced.
He watched the actress in all her motions
with intense interest, and ere long broke
out again:
{ II tell ye, Bill, that's her; know tits.
You can't fool mel know her too we'll.
You just wait; I'll fix her. Keep your
eye on me-"
Sure enough he did fix her. Watching
his opportunity, when the actress was
deeply absorbed in her part, he sang out,
in voice which rang through the gal
leries:

From the force of habit the actress in
stantly and Involuntary ducked her head
to avoid the anticipated collision. Down
came the house with perfect thunder of
applause at the "palpable hit, high above
which Toms voice could be heard:
Didn't tell We, old boy, twas her?
You couldn't fool me-"

Recognition Of Color by Bees and
Wasps.

The following is an extract from a pa
per by Sir John Lubbock on " Bees and
Wasps," read before meeting of the Lin
mean Society in London:
~ found that bees soon accustomed
themselves to look for honey on papers of
particular colors. For instance, on Sept.
Is placed a bee to some honey on
slip Of glass on green paper, and after she
had made twelve Journeys to and from
the hive I put red paper where the green
had been, and placed another drop Of
honey on a green paper, at a distance of
about foot. The bee returned, however,
to the honey on the green paper. then
gently moved the green paper, with the
bee on it, back to the old place. When
the bee had gone replaced the green pa
per by yellow one, and put the green
again foot off. After the usual interval
she returned again to the green. re-
peated the same proceeding, but with
orange paper instead of green. She re-
same with white paper; she returned
again to the green. Again 1 tried her
with blue; she again to the green. then
reversed the positions of the blue and
green papers; but still she returned to the
green. I repeated this experiment with
other bees, and with the same result,
though it seemed to me that in some cases
they did not distinguish so clearly be-
tween green and other colors. In other
respects they seem to adhere pretty close,
accustomed.
GAS regards wasps, my experiments
fully confirmed those previously made,
and justified everything which l had said
with reference to great industry. Indeed,
they begin 10 work earlier in the morning
and cease later in the evening than bees,
continuing all through the day with the
utmost assiduity. As regards color, l sat
isfied myself, BY experiments like those
made with bees, that they are capable OF
seeing color, though they seem to be less
influenced by it than are bees"
