The Tastes OF Different Nations

Five thousand cats are said TO have been
eaten in Paris during the late siege. Accord
ing to the same authority. the cat is down
right good eating A Young one, well cooked
IL better than hare or rabbit. 1t tastes some
thing like the American gray squirrel, but is
even tenderer and sweeter. One thousand
two hundred dogs is is stated, were eaten In
Paris during the late siege, and the flesh
fetched from two to three francs per pound.
According to Pliny, puppies were regarded
as u great deicacv by Roman gourmands.
The bear supplies food to several nations in
Europe. and its hams are considered excel
lent The flesh of the brown or black bear,
which is eaten by the common people of
Norway, Russia and Poland, is difficult, of
digestion. and is generally sailed and dried
before il is used Two bears were eaten in
Paris during the siege. and the flesh was
supposed to taste like pig. The Indian tribes
of the interior of Oregon eat bears. The
hedgehog is considered a princely dish in
Barbsrv, and is eaten in Spain aud Ger
MANY. Ii is frequently eaten bv the sick
amorg the African Arabs from the belief that
the flesh is medicinal. Mice and rats are
eaten in Asia. Africa, Australia and New Yea
land. and considered dainty morsels. The
taste of rats il considered to be something
like that Of birds. The Chinese eat them
and to the Esquimaux eTieur,s the mouse is
real bonnie bonehe. Rats and mice were
eaten in Paris during the seige. The porcu-
pine is reckoned delicious food in America
and India. and resembles sucking-pig The
Dutch and Hottentots are fond of it, and II
is frequently brought tn the table at the Cape
of Good Hope. The squirrel is eaten by the
natives of Australia, and the North Ameri.
can Indians, and is a tsvorite dish in Sweden
and Norway. The fl, sh is tender. and said
to resemble that of barn door fowl. 1t is
sometimes eaten by the lower classes in Eng.
land and the United Ssstcs, and is said to
make excellent pies The flesh of the beaver
is much priced by the Indians and Canadian
traders. especially when it has been roasted
in the skin after the hair has been singed off.

Butter Cows

ID. II. Thing of Mt. Vernoa in recent
article SAYS there is too much guess work
in farming operations, but guessing from
my own experience, cannot afford to
grow roots or buy wheat bran for cows.
Corn ground in the ear two parts. and cot
meal one part, three quarts of the
mixture night and morning. fed dry. has
given us the best results in COW, milk and
butter. and our customers never find fault.
| have never had a cow to eat the shingles
from the barn or chew bones while upon
this feed. If you have no cobs throw in a
small handful of ashes once or twice a
week. Also give all the salt they will eat.
For beef oxen | have decided that 81 in
corn meal and one in cottonseed will do as
much as four in corn meal alone. The
more experience have in cottOnseed the
better am pleased with it. while the more
have with wheat bran the less think OF
it. know that smarter men than | feed
bran and stick to it, and | often think
must have been mistaken. and try it again,
but always with the same unsatisfactory
result. Barley meal gives good results
for beef. pork and butter.

seasonable Hints.

ERGoT-Dry hay will act very much

on this should never be restricted in their
water. Ergoted hay. with deficiency Of

AToilet Luxury.

Where the hair is brittle, dry. harsh,
weak. or thin, the use of AYERS HAIR
VIGOR speedily renders it plant. soft;
glossy. and stimulates it to rich and
luxurious growth: it also keeps the scalp
free from dandruff, and affords q perfect
assurance against the hair falling out or
turning gray. No other dressing is so
clean or has such delicate and delightful
perfume. Without it the toilet cannot be
complete.
Ladies who have once made trial Of
AYERS HAIR VIGOR never after prefer
any other hair-drcssing, and many of them
voluntarily offer such testimonials as the
following, from MISS KATE ROSE, Inger-
soil, Ont, who writes:
"while keeping my bend clear Of Dandruh:
and preventing Scald Head. 1t has also caused
nv hair to grow luxuriantly, resulting in my
now possessing hair forty two inches long, and
