THE ToBAcco HEART.

Before 1t II Born.

Many Chtlds Health IL Smoked Away
Before It 10 Born.
The tobacco habit produces physical
conditions of a marked variety, particu-
larly as relates to the heart. Men use
tobacco all their lives without great ap.
parent damage to themselves sometimes,
but their sons will have decided mani
festations of the tobacco heart If they
try to smoke, and their daughters are
nervous and hysterical. Statistics of
the examiners of volunteers for the army
show that one-third of all the applicants
who are rejected are ruled out because
of having a tobacco heart. Many of
them are to all appearances strong and
robust yet suffering from this constitu-
tional defect which makes them liable
to succumb to any unusual strain.
Everybody knows that there is .
growing number of young men and wo.
men who are good for nothing physi-
cally. Many men and women of sixty
and seventy are more hearty and vigor-
GUS than their children. It is getting
to be almost fashionable to be an inva-
lid. The school children are pale and
puny. There are other causes, but to-
bacco must be held responsible for a
large share Of this. The constitution of
many child is smoked away before 1t
is born, and thousands and thousands
are suffering in various ways because
their fathers have squandered their
nervous energy and vitality in the use
of tobacco.-From lecture by j. II,

The black excrescences, so often seen
on plum trees. and which injure the
growth and finally destroy them. may
be removed and the trees remain un.
harmed, If the remedy is promptly an.
piled. Cut them off and burn them as
soon as first appearing. Apply petro.
leum or kerosene to the cut face; or II
the application is very promptly made,
the kerosene may be applied to the knot
without cutting. repeating it two or
three times. 1t is very important, says
the Country Gentleman, not to let the
oil run on the healthy bark and kill the
tree, and as it is not very distinctly
visible on the bark, mix with it enough
red or yellow ochre to thicken it little
and to show the boundary. This treat
ment answers we'll for fresh appear

the disease has been long neglected,
may require the destruction Of the tree,
which may be better consigned to the

DAIRY DOTS.

The followin g items are from the Ma
tional Stockman:
1T is the all-the-year worker that gives
the greatest yield.
WHY not get butter or milk bull of
your own? Bulls are cheap now.
WHEN you buy, remember that the
bull is "half the herd" and get good
one.
DON'T forget that calves will eat grass
or hay when they are only few weeks
old.
A DAIRY cow should go dry but a few
weeks In the year; dry COW is not q
paying one
The cow on pasture runs less risk of
constipation at calving than the one on
dry feed.
If you have scrub COWS, poor scrubs
at that, the bull, if a good one, will be
nine"tenths of the herd.
NEVER mind about the color of the
cows hair, but if her skin is yellow it
is one point in her favor.
WE can't force people to buy what
they don't want, so we must make the
kind of butter they do want.
TIE COW that calves just before the
pasture season is over will get a good
start for her winters work.
MILK fever is generally preceded by
constipation; good condition of the
bowels is therefore important.
The summer COW also declares week.
ly dividends, but as there are so many
summer cows, the weekly dividends are
weakly.
TH1cKEN the watery skinned milk
with oil-neal or middlings and the
calves and pigs will not mind the extra
quantity of water in it.
If you have no ice you can keep your
cream and butter in the we'll. A wind
lass is the most easily managed way of
raising and lowering them.
IT is easier to teach calf to drink
that has never sucked its dam, but al
lowing it to suck for three or four days
will do no harm and may do the COW
some good.
The profitable dairy COW is now be
ginning to make calculations about de
claring scrip dividend. This divi-
dend to be followed by weekly cash div
idends during the winter.
A GOOD bull is more important than q
good stallion because foal from almost
any scrub stallion will make work
horse, but calf from a scrub bull
may not be able to work in the dairy at
all.
MIXING is tedious job, and few
mortals are to found who like the occu-
patton, says. the American Dairyman.
Good wages is the only incentive to
keep the men at such work. What q
benefaction to the human race it would
be to invent good practical milking
machine. How immortal the man would
become who puts such machine on the
market In the absence of such an in
vention let us do all what we can to
Rmeliorate the suffering of mankind.
