Notes.
How can COW have the ssmilk and
beef form?'
II requires IL, 1000, 900 cows to supply
this United States with milk, cheese and
butter.
One Of the best after dinner cheeses is
the strong, rich Edam, which is now
made in America.
The live stock and dairy business, and
even farming, is now carried on by COM
binations of proprietors.
Two billion dollars are invested in the
dairy business of this country. This is
almost twice as much money as is in
vested in manufacturing and commercial
interests.
The dairyman who does not breed his
own cows, but merely buys fresh ones
and sells them when they go dry, buying
other fresh ones in their place, will need
to be a good judge of dairy COW.
The story is going the rounds again
about large snake which was found
milking COW. What was the cow do
ing while the snake was milking her,
and how did the snake reach the cows
udder? Did it stand upon its tail2
A feeding experiment at the Maine
agricultural station shows that it costs
only eleven dollars year more to feed
a 200 pound Holstein cow than to feed
a 900 pound Jersey; but this by no
means determines the relative value Of
the two animals. Will the Holstein's
carcass dressed for beef sell for eleven
dollars more than the Jerseys? And
during the year which cows milk and
butter was worth most?
In the province Of Ontario number
of creameries have combined into
great syndicate, and the result is inn
proved methods of butter and cheese
making. In spite of the opposition to
syndicates they seem to be making their
way into popular favor in the teeth OF
| all opposition in every line Of business.

work together and at the same time re-
gard the public as their friend, and not
as common prey to be devoured, it viii

hand is against his neighbor in the same
occupation.

Pruning in Winter.

HrunlnS III "lnCeTs
Trees of hardy kinds may be safely
pruned in winter if but a moderate
amount is to be cut away. Heavy prun-
ing renders tree tender and more liable
to injury or check in growth if followed
by intense cold, but it rarely happens
that such severe pruning is required. II
the operator always has distinct and
definite object in view. he need not cut
away single shoot unless needed. A
bearing tree may have too thick a head
and want slight thinning, or a small
crooked branch may be in the way. re-
quiring only clipping with pocket
knife. There is special advantage in
doing the work now-al the branches
and shape of the head may be easily seen
while the leaves are off. When the
owner of an orchard has to give the
business to hired hand, he may avoid
all danger of having the work wrongly
done by marking with piece of chalk
the place where he wants the pocket
knife or light saw to do the cutting.
Very little cutting need thus be made
and no mutilation.
A modification or Improvement may
be made at any time in winter If the
weather happens to be too cold or hands
scarce for doing the labor till spring.
Take small brush or pencil, with white
paint, pass through the orchard, and
wherever branch is to be pruned mark
with the brush white line where the
cut is to be made. Direct the operator
to cut nowhere but on this line. The
chalk would be washed off by rain; the
streak of white paint will remain for
months The piece of chalk may be at
tached to the end of a rod or pole and
be used to reach any part of the tree;
and, if desired, the owner may pass
| through his orchard on horseback and
rapidly mark as many trees in an hour
as the operator will prune in day
| Country Gentleman.
| A heavy fall Of snow may break the
limbs of evergreens and other trees. 1t
| may be primitive, but there is no better
| way of dislodging the snow than striking
the branches with pole.

Food Before Sleep.

Many persons, though not actually
sick, keep below par in strength and
general tone, and ain Of the opinion
that fasting during the long interval
between supper and breakfast, and
especially the complete emptiness of
the stomach during sleep, adds great
ly TO the amount of emaciation, sleep
lessness, and general weakness we so
often meet.
Physiology teaches that in the body
there is perpetual disintergration
of tissue. sleeping or walking; it is
therefore logical TO believe that the
supply of nourishment should be
somewhat continuous, especially in
those who are below par, if we would
counterfeit their emaciation and low
cred degree Of vitality; and as bodily
exercise is suspended during sleep,
with wear and tear corresponding
diminished, while digestion, asSimila-
ton, and nutritive activity continue
as usual, the food nourished during
this period adds more than is dis
troyed, and increased weight and i'm
proved general vigor is the result.
All beings except man are governed by
natural instinct, and every being with
a stomach, except man, eats before
sleep, and even the human infant,
guided by the same instinct, sucks
frequently day and night, and If It's
stomach is empty for any prolonged
period, it cries long and loud.
Digestion requires no interval OF
rest, and if the amount of food during
the twenty-four hours is, in quantity
and quality, not beyond the physio-
logical limit, it makes no hurtful diff
ference to the stomach how few or
how short are the intervals between
eating, but il does make vast diff
ference in the weak and emaciated
ones welfare 20 have u modicum OF
food in the stomach during the time
of sleep, that, instead Of being con
sumed by bodily action, it may dur
ing the interval improve the lowered
system; and | am fully satisfied that
were the weakly, the emaciated, and
the sleepless to nightly take light
lunch or meal of simple, nutritious
food before going to bed, for II pro-
longed period, nine in ten of them,
would be thereby lifted into u better
standard of health.
In my speciality (nose and throat,
| encounter cases that, in addition to
local and constitutional treatment,
need an increase of nutritious food,
and | find that by directing a bowl
of bread aud milk, or mug of beer
and few biscuits, or a saucer Of oat-
meal and cream before going to bed,
for few months, a surprising in
crease in weight, strength and general
tone results; on the contrary, persons
who are too stout or plethoric should
follow an opposite course.

Do Not Prune Spring Boomers.

The early primer is at work with
knife and shears, but let that work
be done only on the late fall boomers.
The wealth Of buds comes on the new
wood, though old wood may have
considerable for its age; but it is the
young shoots that bloom most boun
tifuIly. Better let the spring shrubs
remain straggly than to sacrifice the
prospect of spring flowers. Shrubs
winch are grown for their flowers
alone, not for fruit, should each be
pruned just after the towering sea
son, not just before. At first thought
one feels that everybody should know
just so much, instinctively; but every
body does not, more is the pity, think
we, when the golden chain, the jessa
mine and other April aud May bloom
ers give only scanty blooms, having
been, like Samson, shorn Of their
strength.
After blooming, cut back as close
and shapely as need be TO please the
most ardent primer; the season will
be long enough for the close-trimmed
branches to send out before next win

TO make his pruning season for all
plants, that follow the blooming pc
riod. Ii is well too for the amateur
TO bear III mind that he or she must
not prune the main stalk off close to
the root. That may be termed thor
ough pruning, but il is slightly dan
gerous The shears of the amateur

lated passion for cutting back each
season often thwarts Natures willing
efforts to give large, thrifty shrubs.
Shrubs too well cut back, shrubs un-
wisely not cut back at all, each tell
their tale Of woe in a mien that is un-
slightly; each suggests once more how
beautiful this world might be if peo-
pie would only choose the happy
medium.
