The Kiss Of History.
From the Californian.


1t was with a kiss that the dark
browed Judas gave the preordained
sign; it was kiss by which King Asser-
us signified to the trembling Esther that
her fortunes were no longer at the ca
price of the mercurial Haman. A kiss
dismissed the hapless Essex TO the mel
ancholy death which the whimsical
love OF the ferocious Elizabeth made a
dagger in her life forever after. 1t was
q kiss that lulled the victims of Lucretia
Borgia's innumerable intrigues to the
noisome dungeons of the. Castle d'Estes.
A kiss was the sign that the per6dious
Queen Catharine d. Medici made the
token of the weak kings assent TO the
massacre of St. Bartholomew. B>utus
made his treachery to his benefactor
odlous by miscreant kiss at the very
moment his dagger wasuncovered for the
slaughter of his adopted father. William
the Conaueror saluted his confding kins.
man Harold on both cheeks at the mo-
ment he meditated wrestling his king
dom from him. The kiss is quite as
often the sign Of infidelity as it is Of the
amenities of love. On entering the bat
tie of old, the knight graciously salutel
the company by KISS on the blade OF
the sword. At the battle of Ivy, old
chronicles related that the gallant
knights of France deliberately drew un
in line, and, raising their swords, kissed
their blad es, then set impetuously for
ward with the lance. If fHomer is to be
taken literally, the honest heroes OF
the Illiad made the kiss preface nearly
every undertaking, from the sacrifice OF
a bird to the delivery Of a battle. Ach-
lilies actually stopped combat in order
to give Paris time to 90 and kiss Helen.
Men and women have been known to
risk life and fortune merely to pledge
their troth in the passing ecstasy of a
lip meeting lip is not the inspiration that
flows from the touching of the lips.
Kisses are the treble and clefts that mark
the perfect melody in the song and SYM
pathy of life.

Pronts Of Poultry.

Ah Eastern writer in commenting on
the profit Of raising poultry as compared
with pork, makes this statement: Sup
pose farmer begins with twenty hens
weighing one-hundred pounds; these
twenty hens will consume two quarts, or
four pounds, of grain day; one-hun-
dred pound pig will consume about as
much, but. when it is two-hundred
pounds it will consume about twice as
much, while the twenty hens will con-
sumo no more and can easily rear one
hundred chickens, which ut four months
old will weigh three-hundred pounds,
and that is long before the pig will weigh
so much and they will not cost so much
as the pig for food. The, hens in the
meanwhile are paying in eggs at least
twice as much as the cost of their food,
and they will make as much manure as
pig, and the manure will be more valu-
able. "Nuf sed."

Milk in HeaIth and D,sease.

DR.. A. Grinnell says: There is no sub
stitute for milk. Milk is the only prophr
food for infants, and all the different
prepared foods for infants are inferior
to cows milk. Milk contains in itself
everything necessary to support life. 1t
is believed that man may subsist on
milk alone. A late distinguished physi-
clan lived for years upon milk and rice;
but this simple diet would not be the
best for m an who has much physical
labor to perform. There is not 80 much
dissimilarity between cows milk and
wo1nan's milk as has been supposed.
In woman's milk 9S parts out of every
100 are water; in cows milk SS; in other
respects there is great similarity. AS q
substitute for mothers milk cow milk is
the only desirable thing. Some per-
sons think they cannot eat milk, but
tn re is not one person in ten thousand
who could not live wholly upon milk.
The milk diet has come to be considered
of great importance by the medical pro-
fession. There is one hospital in Phil
adelphia devoted exclusively to milk
diet. Patients are fed two ounces of
milk every two hours at the outset and
finally consume gallon every twenty
four hours. Milk is now largely used in
febrile diseases; many physicians keep
their patients entirely on milk in typhoid

Making Good Butter-Local Requi.
sites.


A Kansas correspondent in the India
ma Farmer says:
THE local requisites for the manufact-
ure of good butter are pure air, cold
running water, and sufiiciency of
sweet, nutritious herbage. Fresh, rich,
juicy feed will enhance both quality and
quantity of milk and butter. The requi-
sites named belong, generally, to some
what elevated or billy districts, rather
than to those of an opposite character.
a rolling elevated country, billy often
times, abounding in springs Of pure,
cold water, and drained by clear. rip
pling streams, flowing over gravelly or
rocky beds constitutes the predomina-
ting character of the best dairying dis
trIcts of our great country; so famous
for its dairy products. On such land the
pest and sweetest grasses are produced
IN the greatest luxuriance, and abound
in the best miik-producing qualities.
Another essential is a change of past
ures. This is contrary to the teachings
some, but from actual experience we
are able to say it is a very important
item in the list of necessaries required
for a bounteous supply Of milk and the
wholesale production of gilt edged but
ter. If in changing from one pasture to
another the grasses are no better either
in quality or quantity, still a marked
difference is observed in the yield of
milk. Cows seem to tire of one pasture
and one place. They love to roam and
feed in some new inclpsure occasionally.
Everything seems to taste sweeter to
them, and they eat with new relish
A change, therefore, should be made
from one pasture to another about
every ten days Or two weeks.
Cows, to yield the best e:urns, should
have ready access to good water. Such
as flows from pure springs to be pre-
felred, but any kind will do, provided it
is pure. This is almost indispensable
for it is n ,xt to impossible to make good
butter without an abundant supply OF
pure water. Those having pastures
where the water fails in dry season have
probably observed how rapidly their
cows shrink in their milk when water is
scarce and the animals do not get their
usual supply. Inducing COWS to drink
large quantities Of water will increase
the flow OF milk certainly. but to what
extent the quantity Of milk may be III.
creased without injury to quality we are
not prepared to say; but we are satisfied
that one Of the best methods Of increas.
ing the TOW Of milk is to give each COW
at milking time small quantity of salt
to lick. If this is done regularly COWS
will need salt at no other time, This
with frequent changing of pasture and
plenty OF pure water, is the secret of an
abundant supply of milk and butter.

Adyice to- oDysneptics.

The late DR.. Leared, in his recently
published essay on "The Causes and
Treatment Of Indigestion" lays down as
fundamental principle that the amount
of food each man :is capable of digest
ing with ease always has limit which
bears srelation to his age, constitution,
health and habits, and that indigestion
is consequence of exceeding this limit.
Different kinds of food are also differ
entity adapted to different constitutions.
Dyspepaia may be brought on by eating
irregularly, by allowing too long an in
terva1 between meals, and by eatin, too
often. Frequently the meals are not
guaged as to their relative amount, or
distributed with due regard to health.
Thus, when we go out after taking q
light breakfast and keep at our work,
with still lighter lunch only during the
interval, till evening, we are apt. with
the solid meal which tempts us to indul-
gence, to put the stomach to harder
test than it can bear. "sWhen light
breakfast is eaten, solid meal is reouis-
lite in the middle Of the day. When the
organs are left too long unemployed they
secrete an excess of mucus, which great
ly interferes with digestion. Ona meal
has direct influence on the next, and
poor breakfast leaves the stomach over
active for dinner. y The point to
bear in mind is that not to eat a suffi-
cheney at one meal makes you too hun
cry for the next; and that when you are
two hungry, you are apt to overload the
stomach and give the gastric juices
more to do than they have the power
to perform" Persons who eat one
meal too quickly on another must like
wise expect the stomach finally to give
notice that it is imposed upon. Other
protocations of dyspepsia are imperfect
mastication, smoking and snuff-taking,
which occasion waste of saliva, al
though some people find that smoking
assists digestion if done in moderation;
sitting in positions that cramp the stom-
ach, and the pressure that is inflicted on
the stomach by the tools Of some trades,
as curriers', shoemakers and weavers.
The general symptoms of dyspepsia are
well known. Some that deserve special
hands are distorted, mental depression
extreme nervousness, hypochondria and
other affections of the mind. The cure
is to be sought in avoiding the food and
habits by which dyspepsia is promoted,
and using and practising those which are
found to agree best with the system of
the subject. Regularity in the hours of
meals cannot be too strongly insisted on.
THE stomach should not be disappoint-
ed when it expects to be replenished
LII disappointed, even q diminished
amount of food will be taken without
appetite, which causes the secretions to
inlure the stomach, or else impairs its
muscular action"

Western women are injured in the last

Wire Worms in Gardens,

A practical gardener says he kills or
repels wire worms with spent gas lime,
largely; mixed with manure. He pro-
cures wagon load of the gas lime and
mixes it with three or four times as
much l,,!,s; s, strong and short manure mixed
soil. This is spread late in autumn over
the ground and plowed in. The next
spring, root or other crops are planted
on this ground, after it has been thor
oughly stirred, and no wire worms are
to be seen. The quantity is what would
be termed moderate dressing of the
manure; too much gas lime would injure
the crop. Farmers who live near gas
works may easily try this on their fields
infested with wire worms.

But few of our dairy farmers have
not yet learned how to judge good
COW. Not one in ten knows whether
any one of their cows is being kept at
profit or loss. A good COW ought tc pro-
duce annually 200 pounds Of butter OF
5000, pounds Of cheese. Such COWS are,
however, greatly the exception, not the
rule. We may fairly say that not one
COW in twenty yields over $50 pounds of
butter or more than $50 pounds of
cheese. The cause of this low average
must be charged to the dairy farmer. He
is the man that manages the COW.
The well-known poultry authority,
Mr.. I. X. Felch, states in the New York
World, that one bushel of corn will
grow as many pounds of live po ultry as
it will of pork. One bushel and twelve
quarts Of sound corn or its equivalent in
other grain will keep a fowl one year.
The average hen will lay 1912 dozen of
eggs per annum, which ought to secure
profit of $l2, 30 to S1,75 per head, ac-
cording to the price of eggs. Poultry and
grain are affected by the markets of any
special locality. Farmers should in all
branches of industry operate largely
enough to secure the best results in
price. Mr.. Felch would not have him
go into poultry farming exclusively, but
he considers that the man who plants an
orchard has by no means finished his
work until he shall have furnished quar-
ters in the same for $50 to 200 fowls to
the acre making it serve the double pur-
pose of orchard and poultry ward
