Mary Bell had read that New Years
calls were very fashionable in some

adopting the custom in the little town

II she might not be allowed to pay some

Mamma was willing, and on New

mother, and set forth.

WHAT PRODUCES DEATH

Man Alone Of All Creatures seldom Lives
to the Average Age.
Some one says that few men die Of
age. Almost al persons die Of disap-
pointment, personal, mental or bodily
toll, or accident. The passions kill men
sometimes even suddenly. The common
expression, .'Choked with passion" has
little exaggeration in it, for even though
not suddenly fatal, strong passions
shorten life. Strong-bOdied men often
die young-weak men live longer than
the strong, for the strong use their
strength and the weak have none to use.
The latter take care Of themselves. the
former do not. As it is with the body,
80 it is with the mind and temper. The
strong are apt to break, or, like the can
die, run; the weak burn out. The in
ferior animals, which live temperate
lives, have generally their pre-
scribed term Of years. The horse
lives Is years. the OK Is or 20, the
lion about 20, tho hog 10 or IL, the rsb-
bit s, the guinea pig or The num-
bers all bear proportion to the time the
animal takes to grow its full size. But
man, of all animals, is the one that
seldom comes up to the average. He
ought to live hundred years according
to the physiological law,fo five times 20
are 100, but instead of that he scarcely
lives an average Of four times the grow.
ing period. The reason is obvious-man
is not only the most irregular and most
incorporate, but the most laborious and
ard-working Of all the other animals,
and there is reason to believe, though
we can not tell what an animal secretly
feels, that, more than any other animal

Cows will loathe hay that has been
Immediately before them for several
hours, and will only eat it when nearly

BE brisk OF action, and give your dairy
the best Of winter care, and then you
may dare hope for liberal emolument.
The question being raised as to
whether 1t was better to have cows
''come in" every year, or to have them
bred once in two years, the Rural New
Yorker made inquiries Of a number Of
dairymen, and their testimony is in IA
vor Of the former plan.
A man may have q herd Of Short
horns, or even common cows for that
matter, that are as good as the average
animal of the dairy breeds. But 1t
would be an exception to the rule. II .
man has such herd he need not bother
himself about getting the dairy breeds.
If he has not first-class herd he should
get one. that is all.
The practice Of milking but once a
day where cows give but little late in the
year, is bad one. They shrink much
faster. and If young. the habit OF not

as long as they are MIXED at all. twice

stabbed, the process may safely and
profitably be continued up to within six
weeks Of their calving.
Prof. Henry thinks it Is mistake
to grind corn for stock, either for fatten-
ing or for milk. He says that even
allowing for great waste in the drop
pings, yet with the corn passed whole,
what they did get in proper shape did
them more good than all the ground
corn meal they could be fed. His notion
is that the corn fodder and all should be
run through the cutter so that the ears
will be fed in small pieces.-American

In report from the Department OF
Agriculture at Washington on the horn
fly occurs the following: The preventa.
tive is obviously to lime the dung in the
fall in places where the cattle preferably
stand ct night. At the present time
applications may be made to mich cows
and valuable animals which will keep
the flies away. The applications may
be ~ fish oil and pine tar, with little
sulphur added; (2) tobacco dust, when
the skin is not broken: (3) tallow and .

latter application will have . healing
