FARM NOTES.

Convenient arrangements for feeding
will lessen the cost in feeding stock OF
all kinds, as there will be less waste.
Ensilage has been the means, where ii
is fed, of doing away with that terribly
provoking nuisance-long cornstalk in
the manure pits. Every farmer who has
tried to load manure with long cornstalks
in it on wagon, will admit there is no
language adequate to describe the perfor-
nance and the tendency is had toward
making man lose his patience.
A cow may be worth 500 or she may be
worth only $50, but the Iow-priced COW
may be more costly. If a choice article of
butter or large yield of milk is secured
from the 800 COW it will be greater in ex-
tent and proportionately, compared with
the cheaper animal. As dairynan ex.
presses it, if 500 COW gives $50 profit in
one year, a 500 COW will give only $40
profit. or perhaps nothing.
The results OF some experiments in feed
ing steers at the Michigan station are
summed up as follows: There is no profit
in feeding average native steers which
will weigh from | 900 to 500 lbs, at three
years. through there may be in raising
thoroughbred steers which will weigh from
500 to 800 pounds more at the same age;
but it requires close care and knowledge
Of the most economical methods of feed
ing to make any profit from feeding beeves
at present prices.

The Worlds Wool.

An English authority states the total an.
nual production of wool In the world at
|, 1872, 900 600 pounds. The estimated value
is 1908, 100000.
The number of sheep in Europe is
estimated at 200,000,000, which furnish
44S, 100000 pounds of wool, at an estimat-
ed value OF S242, 100000, Morocco, Algiers
and Tunis grow considerable quantity,
while France produces 81 per cent. less than
it did forty years ago. European countries
are ranked in the following order: Russia
first, Great Britain second, Germany
third, France fourth, Austro-Hungary
fifth, Italy sixth, Spain seventh The
East Indies and China produce about 1856,
100000 pounds of wool per annum.
We may state in this connection that in
1884 our sheep numbered sc, 626, $40 head,
valued at Sl19, 500, 606, producing 800 ,000,-
600 pounds of wool. Since that time the
sheep of the country have steadily decreas-
e1 year by year, until last year we lad but
AZ 999, 079 sheep, producing 565, 900, 900
rounds of wool. Our home grown woods
are mostly fine and medium. Our import
woods are mostly clothing, com 5ining and
carpet woods. Our average imports from
1880 to 1889 were clothing woods 1906
075 pounds, combining woods 5,754, 203,
and carpet woods SO, asa, 036, or an aver

LONDON The British torpedo cruiser
Serpent has foundered Oft the coast Of
Spain. The fate of her crew is unknown
The Serpent was a twin screw vessel oil
1,770 tons and 1850 horse power. She
carried six guns.
The Serpent was lost at point twenty
miles north of Cape Finisterre. Out Of a
total of $50 souls on board only three were
saved. The Serpent went ON the rocks
during a storm on Monday night. A heavy
mist prevailed ut the time of the disaster
Owing to the violence of the storm it was
impossible to send assistance from the
shore. Tremendous seas swept the decks
of the doomed vessel, carrying away
group after group of che unfortunate meu

Wonderful Plant that Is Puzzliag the
Scientists of Pennsylvania.
A truly wonderful plant is at the Ale
ghany Conservatory, says the Pitsburg
Chronicle. No one knows to what class 1t
belongs or anything about it. 1t is the
subject of much speculation among botan-
lists, and they anxiorsly await the develop
ment of bud that is forming. Then,
they say, they can place the plant, The
botanists have a suspicion that the plant
is tropical one, and Superintendent Ham,
ilton is treating it on that supposition.
The history of the plant so far as known
is unique one. Daring the summer one
of party of gunners brought down a
crane 1t was beautiful specimen and
the taxidermist of the party set to work to
mount it. In the birds craw were found
several Seeds With view to learning if
the seed was killed by the bird eating it
they were placed in water. In few days
the seeds sprouted. They were placed in
loan and kept in warm room. Edward
V. McCandless took charge of it. The
plant was an object of interest to Mr.. Nc
Candless and his botanist friends and its
development was closely watched. Last
week it was transferred to the conservatory.
The leaves are long and broad and heavy,
not unlike species of palm.

Health, Grace and Beauty

Wasp-waists are no longer the fashion,
and posterity will therefore enjoy an inn
mepse advantage, of which the present
and preceding generation have been de-
prived.
1t is good thing for the new school
that its leading teachers are in nearly every
case unusually handsome women. They
are likoly to meet with more encourage
ment, from the opposite sex than the an
guiar sisters who are attempting to mould
female thought Grace of pose and move
ment, and culture of form and perfect
physical health, are the aims of the one
school, the right to vote and hold office
that of another.

argued, the individual must be ''attuned
to the universal pulse beat. ard physical
G, aces are to be attained the same way.
This is very pretty idea and 1t loses
nothing by the manner of Elaboration. The
keynote of the new system, it is explained,
is putting the individual in. harmony with
the laws of the universe, so that the beng
should respond to natural laws as the
strings of one instrument vibrate when the
notes of another in perfect accord with 1t
are struck.

The poses of statutes and pictures were
interesting. not only because they were
graceful, but because they represented

Nearly Everybody

Is troubled with catarrh in the head, more
or less. 1t originates in a cold, or sue
cession of colds, combined with impure
blood. Disagreeable flow from the nose,
tickling in the throat, offensive breath,
pain over and between the eyes, ringing
and bursting noises in the ears, are the
more common symptoms. Catarrh is
cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla, which
strikes directly at its cause by removing
all impurities from the blood, building up
the diseased tissues and giving healthy
tone to the whole system.
