ANTHRAX HYPOMELAS.

An insect Which Deserves the Farmer'i
Love and Protection.
The bee-fiy shown in the accompany.
ing illustration is friend of ours, and
deserves our love and protection. Its
name is Anthrax hypomelas (Macq.),
and it's services to us consist in the free
use it makes of the cut-worm chrysalis
as breeding place, thus destroying
great numbers of these our dreaded
enemies. Several related species of the
Anthrax have the same satisfactory
habit. The perfect insect, shown at d.,
was one of a number bre d last summer
by Mr.. F. NJ. Webster, the Indiana agent
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture, from the pupe of cut
worm, which proved to be Agerotis
herilis. Prof. Gillette, of the Iowa
Agricultural Experiment Station, has
also bred last summer specimens of
these beetles or Anthrax of another
species "a. scrobibulta Lew) from cut
warm larvae.
Though these are extremely interest
ing occurrences, says Insect Life (where
we find the original illustrations of the
Anthrax hypomelas) and show that

q Good Substitute for sweet Milk When
Properly Prtpared.
A Canadian feeder OF long experience
says that his calves are fed by hand all
the new milk they can AXE three times
a day until about vsek old. Ther

but the quantity of sllirn-m::l1 is so in.
creased and that of the new elk so re-
duced that i'll two weeks from the COM
mencement on this change skim-milk
only is fed, and this only when sweet,
as when sour it produces scours and in
jures digestion in other ways. Skim
milk is fed at temperature of milk just
taken from the COW. In heating it a
portion of the milk is put on the stove
in pan or pail and heated gradually
until quite warm. 1t is then poured into
the portions set apart for each calf.
The calves get the milk three times a
day for about month from the begin.
ming of the change to skim milk, but a
less quantity is given at noon. If fed
regularly they may drink all the skim
milk they wish without injury.
When the change is being made from
new to slim-milk, faxseed is added to
the milk. Prepare it as follows: For
two calves, take half teacupful of fax
at night, pour on two quarts of boiling
water and allow to steep until morn
ing, then warm and add to the milk:
the quantity may be gradually but
slowly increased until three-fourths OF
teacupful faXseed stepped in pro-
portionate increase of hot water is
given to each animal. The faxseed
for the night meal is put to steep in the
same way in the morning. Milk is fed
until the calves are seven or eight
months old. They are given access tc
as much clean water as they will drink
at all times. They get all the meal
they will cat up clean twice a day. The
meal consists of one-fourth ground
peas, one-fourth ground oats and one
half wheat bran; this is mixed with
good hay run through a cutting-box
The proportion of hay to meal is in
creased as the calves get older. Where
meal of this kind is not to be had, Their
give the calves oats, which may be fec
whole, and need not be mixed with cut
hay. When autumn comes oat sheaves
are cut fine and the meal mixture
added, but not so much of it in guam
tity as when the cut oat sheaves are not
fed. They get what long hay they eat
up clean in winter, and green food OF
almost any kind in summer. They are
kept in loose box stalls in the stable
through the first summer, and stalls are
kept dark in the season of flies. They
may get a good supply of sliced roots il
their season.-Orange Judd Farmer.

RATIONS FOR COWS.

Make q Distinction Between Feeding for
Butter and for Beef.
We must make a distinction between
feeding for butter and for beef. We
must find out the inclination of the
cows-what they will do with the food.
The first thing a cow should do is to
pay for her board and her care. II
they will not do this we do not want
them. They must, however, go further
than this, and give up profit. There
should not be much hustling about the
COW stable. If the cowman is in her
ry to go to the village, let him start the
chores little sooner rather than
bang the cows about. Milking should
be done with our might, mind and
strength. Talk has no place in the
stable.
Good clover comes next in the order
Of inexpensive rations, in the pasture,
the aftermath or in the stable. 1t
should be cured when there is the most
honey in it. Clover does not impoverish
the soil. The more we grow of it the
more our soil will grow of other crops.
The short crop Of hay with us, three
years ago, when we had to feed grain
to our cows to get them through, proved
to the farmers of this section that feed
ing grain to cows is an advantage, as
our cows never did better.
Next to the clover comes corn. The
sowed fodder corn is poor enough, not
better than sticks soaked in water.
Hundreds of acres of such trash are
grown and called food. Corn should be
put in drills and the kernels one foot
apart-to get the most yield of real
food. Green rye is good in the early
spring, also oats and green corn in their
turn. The old pastures must be plowG]
up and reseeded; many of them are run
out, and it takes too much territory tc
pasture our cows. We can run cheap
fence around part of them and put on
some other crop to renew them, and
then reseed them.-Nathan Clark, in
Farmer Stock Breeder.

GAPES IN CHICKENS.
A Preventive and Cure for This Trout
some Disease.

Preventive and Cure for This Trouble
some Disease.
The following points regarding gapes,
If observed, will prove a preventive and
cure for this troublesome disease, name
lyi l. Scatter air-slacked lime freely
over the ground occupied by fowls. 2.
Put little of the lime in the drinking
water. 3. Should signs of gapes ap.
pear, feed the fowls twice week with
stiff corn-meal dough, first intimately
mixing teaspoonful spirits of turpen-
tine with a quart of the meal. 4. Give
q very sick chick drop of turpentine
on bread crumb. 5. If this fails then
stripa feather, leaving small tuft on
the end, dip it in turpentine, insert the
end of the feather in the windpipe, and
quickly withdraw. 6. Feed on clean
boards Z. Never allow uneaten food
to remain on the ground. 8. Keep the
ground clear of filth. 9. The rich, moist
places, such as are favorable to earth
worms, are favorable to gapes. 10. Do
not mistake lice for gapes, as the big,
gray lice on the skin of the heads and
necks will often cause the chicks to
gasp from weakness. 1t is not an easy
matter to insert 4 feather down the
threats of large number of chicks;
hence the best wholesale method is to
give the turpentine in corn meal, and
to use plenty of lime on the ground, as
the liale will destroy all germs of gapes.

NAPOLEON'S RELIGION.
The Great Captains Constant Companion
Was New Testament.

Was New Testament.
Nearly all the standard historians of
Bonaparte's life have referred to the in
terest which the great soldier always
manifested in discussions on religious
subjects, says NJ. V. Morse. There was
no theme-not even the science of war
itself-which engaged his genius in
warmer or more sincere interest. Our
own Emerson touch es delightfully."- this
feature of the warriors character.
Napoleon himself says he had studied
all religions He had collected the
largest library of books relating to re-
ligions ever owned by any ruler. The
most conspicuous and most constantly
consulted of all his books was the New
Testament-this one of the few volumes
which he carried with him in all his
campaigns, and which was kept regu-
larly on his table for reference. The
book was to him a source of abiding in
terest and delight, if not of deep spirit
ual consolation.
His philosophy, if not his practice,
was based on it's teachings, remarks the
Atlanta Constitution, and he was ever
ready to point moral to adorn tale
in some analogy from its sublime pages.
He had the profoundest admiration for
the sermon on the mount, and on one
occasion he settled dispute by requir-
ing the contestants to read that sermon
in his presence. Once when he was
asked what was the really sublime he
responded instantly: Read the Lords
Prayer"
Napoleon rarely failed to quote the
authority and lessons of the New Tes-
lament when opportune occasion arose.
He was not only a sincere believer in
Christ but he had the profoundest rev.
erence for his character. The sublime
solitariness of this mans genius is with
out any historical parallel. A king of
the kings of earth, there was no one to
whom he would acknowledge allegiance
to whom he would bow-save the God
and the Saviour Christ.
81 am monarch of Gods creation"
he said on one occasion, land l bow
only to Him and Jesus Christi
He constantly referred to Christ as
''the Master" Once, when he had laid
his conquering hand upon the silv~r
shrines and statuary of famous re-
ligious temple, he replied to the impor-
tunities of the priests, who begged that
the ornaments be spared, by saying;
'No; let this silver be cast into coin
and let it go about in the world doing
good, like the Master. Chicago News.
