Pertinent, of tho AntfrOpologlcal

verify Madaillac's statement regarding
Persian blondes by engaging the SER

fact OF the existence Of blondes and
their relative number, the Persian
doctors give the additional informat lion,
that after the lapse of one or two gen.
erations blonde tn ldren appear In what
are nominally brunette families. This
Is manifestly y the result Of a remote
n!ngling of races. Long ago, rs tradi-
ton has It, white men, sheitans or

FARM AND GARDEN.

CooKSn FooD.-The results Of feed
ing swine W{.3, cooked corn and meal,
instead Of the unco0ked article, arc
weli known to every farmer. The gain
1s 1nlly twenty per CENT, which much
more than covers the extra cost atten-
and upon the course. The argument
may be brought against the method
that cooked food Is not the natural diet
OF the "feather werld.', We are not
aware that our primitive man knew
very much Of the many choice vlands
with which we are to day familiar {:
buS this does not lessen our appetite for
them III the least. When we look at it.
tastes are almost universally acquired.
Ihere can be no objection to change Of
f0od, provided the kind substituted fills
Inc Inc requirements of life giving quail
ties. We seldom boil corn for our
poultry, as we prefer to give that raw
as the evening meal; but for those who
choose, even this can be cooked to ad-
vantage. If 1t is tCo much work to she'll
the corn, boil 1t on the cob, and lot the
fowls have tho sport Of rolling tho ears
about as they pick their living. The
iowls Will soon tic of a cooked diet en-.
tirely, but 1t ls very easy to substitute
grain occasionally. Make the cooked
lood varied, by giving quantity Of
potatoes one day, and cabbage or
onions for another, and 90 on through
the week; cracker crumbs from the
waste of the grOceIs' barrels and boxes
are capital to mix with tho meal occa.
sionally buy them ut a low price. Then
let them pick the bones left from the
table, afterwar'i burning and crushing
them for material in making shells. Be
careful OF rye bran--lt is too much in
elined to swelling, and rapid fermenta-
tion IN the crop producing death in
