PROFIT IN CARE OF STOCK.

No fact in rural economy has
been more thoroughly demonstrate
ed by the experience OF the past
than that it pays to keep good live
stock and keep it well. The very
best blood is desirable and must
be used in order to reach the most
profitable results, but the best
breeds are wonderfully improved
by The big corn.crib.and.warm- barn
cross-a cross that must be con-
resorted to by all who
wou1& make stockraising profit
able. and ~ default of which the
very best OF CSeed will rapidly
deteriorate. Good blood IA aoso'
lutely essential to the best results,
but unless this be supplemented
by care, attention, and generous
feeding the results will be far from
satisfactory, no matter how well
bred the stock may be. And this
is especially true of many of our
improved breeds. They have at
tanned their excellence by means
of many generations of careful
feeding hence we may expect that
if they or their product be sub
jected TO neglect, put upon scanty
food, and exposed to chilly rains
aud driving storms, they will
speedily deteriOrate. To retain
the excellence that has been OBJ
tanned in any of our improved
breeds, the condition under which
this excellence has been attained
must at least be Appropriated
Neglect, exposure, and scanty fare
should find no place in the manage
ment Of the farmer who would
succeed with any of the improved
breeds.-Breeders' gazette.

ally known when the Gate City had
sent out on its wonderful career OF
fame and fortune was that which
has for years manufactured and
sold the celebrated "S. S. 81 or
swift's Specific; aud it was through
the uninterrupted and unyieldlng
success and increasing use and pop.
ularity of S. S. S. that this house
became famous.
1t is too late in the day to re.
count with breyity the long and
unvarying triumps of this sovereign
tonic, and it is much too late to
question it's undoubted efficacy aud
merit. Other preparations have
been brought into being by the
needs of human woe. Some OF
these have been meritorlous and
have met the expectations and
claims built upon them. Others
have been fallacious. Some Of
them have survived. Others have
dlsappeared-haye gone under by
their own gravity or been swept
away by superior remedies. TO the
sterling and established repute Of
3. s. s., of course the fate of other
efforts could mean nothing. Their
success could not abate that OF the
s. s. s., and their failure could give
it no wider field for It's triumps. A
remedy SO we'll known and so uni
versally successful could we'll afford
to submit to all tests.

cifc for the very kinds and degrees
of ailments and affections to which

TEACHING CALVES TO DRINK.

How TO induce a calf to feed
itself from vessel containing milk
is a subject upon which differences
of opinion exist, different people
having different plans. 10 a re-
cent issuse of the Prairie Farmer
several subscribers gave their
views.
One, writing from Kansas, says
1.-THE difficult part is teaching the
calf to put It's nose into the pail
THIS is easily done by the under
/ lip method. Back the animal into
corner, holding the pail with
right hand assisted by right leg
Pat left arm over the Calls neck,
placing the fingers in its mouth
from the under side. In this posi-.
ton the Calls lower lip rests in
the palm of the hand and it hunts
down tor its feed, and thus puts its
nose into the pail of its own accord.
When the calf begins sucking,
slowly withdraw the fingers, allow
ing it to feel about for them by
keeping the finger. ends against its
lower lip, The hand is down IN
the milk | have been equally
successful with this method wheth-
or the calf sucked It's dam three
days or two or three weeks, and
never need allow the calf to suck
my fingers after the fourth feeding,
and several drank readily at sec
ond. Calves taught to drink by
this method seldom bunt the pail
about, thus spilling the milk. Do
not attempt 20 teach to drink I'M
til they are thoroughly hungry.
\ correspondent in Dakota, says :
~ have found the best way is not
to let the calves suck the COW more
than once. Then take the calf
away, and let it suck two fingers in
the pail of milk fresh from the COW.
Most calves will take the fingers
readily; others will not. When
they are stubborn, l hold the
fingers in the mouth and with the
other hand throw or splash milk
as far up in the calf's mouth as |
can, and it is not long after they
get a taste of the milk before they
will drink, or suck the fingers.
From Michigan the following
advice is given; "CalSes are al
ways inclined to look upwards for
their food. My way is secure the
calf so he can be kept IN place,
insert the finger in the mouth, and
to make him suck, dip some milk
with the other hand, and pour into
the mouth as be holds it up. l
never had one that | could not get
to draw in a short time. After he
begins to suck, gradually bring bis
nose to the pail. remember,
when a boy, what hard word II was
to hold the pail for some older one
to instruct the calf. So now | do
the work alone, to the relief of all
cOncerued.r

told that he met Matilda in the
streets of Bruges as she was re-
turning from mass. He seized her,
struck her several times with ills

"spoiling her rich array" then rode
of at full speed. Convinced OF the
intensity of his ardor, Matilda sub

The brothers, Jacob and William
Grimm, authors of the wonderful
fairy stories, concluded that one or
the other should marry. Oliicious
friends found a suitable lady for
