FALSE TEETH.

How an English Doctor Astonished the
Chief of One of the Solomon Islands.
r Ignorance is the mother of devotion,
and, not unfrequently. of scepticism.
"Now, l know that you are liar, "
answered the King of Siam to the En-
glish traveller who had told him that in
England water became so hard that an
elephant could stand on it. The King
disbelieved because he knew nothing
of ice
Old Takki. chief of one of the Sol
onion Islands, was once visited by sew
eral Englishmen. Among them was a
doctor who had complete set of false
teeth, which came out and slipped in
their places again at the most uneX-
pected moments. Occasionally they
would appear on his plate at dinner.
Old Takli and his men were gathered
about the white men, when one OF the
Englishmen said:
doctor, take out your teeth and
show them to the natives.
A tin cup full of water was handed
him and the doctor, assuming a fierce
grin which awed the savages, gave his
Jaws a twist and out came his teeth,
top and bottom, and dropped in the
mug. The islanders screamed with as
constituent The doctor had to stand
with his mouth open, while they salts
fed themselves that he was toothless.
81 am an old man." said Taxi,
much calmer than his people, land |
am thankful that l have lived to see
this day.
The fame of the doctors exploit tray
eled through the islands, and for sew
eral years he was remembered as the
white man who could ship and unshir
his teeth. - Youths Companion.

SNAKE INCUBATION.
A Pretty Good Story Which Comes All
the Way from Mexico.

A Pretty Good Story Which Comes All
the Way from Mexico.
We are told that the natives of Next
co on the coasts inoculate themselves
with the virus of adders, cobfas and
rattlesnakes, and that the persons who
have been thus vaccinated are rendered
forever proof against injury from any
bite or sting. As to the truth of the
statement decline to be sworn in any
court of Justice, but tell the tale as
twas told to me-" The person to be
inoculated is pricked with the serpent $
fangs on the tongue, in both arms and
legs, and various parts of the body, the
venom being thoroughly introduced into
each wound. An eruption Immediate
ly breaks out, accompanied by fever
and much swelling of the body, after
which the skin gradually flakes off in
scales, as in leprosy. 1t is said that
people who have been vaccinated in
this manner can not only handle the
most poisonous serpents with IMMUNITY
making them come at will, caressing
them. twining them about their necks
and carrying them in their bosoms-
but that the bites of these persons
themselves are as fatal as that of the
snake whose virus has been transferred
into their blood! This snake story is
vouched for by many good people, both
native and foreign, whose word is un
improbable - on other subjects. -

WINTER DAIRYING.

The Strong Arguments Which Every Pro-
gressive Dairyman Should Consider.
1. We get fully thirty per cent. more
for our butter if well and skilfully made
in the winter and the extra cost is not
70 exceed ten per cent. and when the
whole year is considered in the support
Of the COW and the greater value of
manure from grain fed COWS is taken
into account, it is question if the
winter system is not the cheapest.
The following table showing the price
in Chicago for the last three years is in
| point here.

9. The immunity from drought and
consequent injury to the milking habit
of the COWS. This is a more serious in

| all seasons there is time of drought
and shrinkage in July, August or Sep

cover the lost flow in the fall months.
In season like the present the injury
is still greater. Now if we have our
COWS calve, say in September, October
or November we bring the shrinkage
of the season and the natural drying
up of the COWS together and besides
we give the cows their necessary rest
from milk-giving when the product is
worth the least and the flies are most
troublesome.
3. The main portion of the years
dairy work is done when we are the
least crowded with farm work and help
is cheapest. If farmer has twenty
COWS it will require about so much help
to care for them through the winter and
if he is wise dairyman he must give
them good care for he knows if he does
not he will have poor and unprofita-
BILE COW the next summer. Now it will
require but little additional help to care
for them in full milk flow. Again if
his cows are fresh in winter he can
then proftably hire his help by the
year. If he is wise in this pal ticular
he will erect small tenement house
and hire a married man and his family,
giving them bit of ground for n gar
den, their yearly fuel and keep for a
COW. Those who have tried this plan
of hiring report to us a good increase
in results, and a saving in cost, partic-
ularly in relieving the wife of family
care.
1t requires only little resolution
and putting into execution little good
| r,ono O;no canca RI sUinn a dairy round
to the winter plan. There are many
other advantages we might mentions
among them the great saving in the
lives of valuable cows from milk fever,
for it is the best COW that takes the
fever always. We have been collect
ing data on this point for several years
and we find that the loss from this fever
from spring calving over fall calving
is at least ten to ne.-HoGrd'S Dairy
