Hurry and tho Chance OF LII

In paper on the duration of life of
the nervous American DR.. julius Pohl-
man asks: us this SO often fearful
nervousness and early death fact
or merely an assertion? What proofs
have we for it? 1t comes very plaus-
ible, indeed, and apparently very cor
rect physiological reasoning to say
that the individuals longevity is in
inverse proportion to his daily hurry,
all other things being equally mis-
leading but equally plausible state
ment was accepted that the human
race is growing smaller with the adj
vance of civilization. First of all,
the author continues, the assumption
that increased activity and greater
hurry mean more rapid wearing away
of the body ignores the fact. that the
human body is wonderful piece of
machinery, which not only renews it.
self constantly, but whose strength
and power of endurance and capac.t y
for more work increase with increased
use up to the point at which use
becomes abuse. At what time and
under what pressure this danger line
is reached depends upon the individ-
ual." The testimony of the executive
officers of four of our largest life in
surance companies is quoted to show
that from the material standpoint of
dollars and cents the life of the Amer
lean is at least as good as, if not bet
ter than that of the European, all
other conditions being the same"
And il we remember that probably
the majority of the holders of policies
of life insurance in this country is
made up from those same active, push
ing and rushing men, n class among
which death from overwork would
naturally occur most frequently, then
the figures mentioned acquire addi-
tional force. A compilation drawn
from every available source regarding
the estimated duration of life at differ
emit years OF age in America and in
Europe gives figures that show that
the chances of the American, from
early manhood to n good old age, are,
all through, little better than those
of his English brother, and good
deal better than those of the Germans.

CARE FOR THE CALF.

The first winter is the trying time
in the calf's life. It is a mistake to ex-
pose it to the weather or to force it to
run with old cattle, who will frequently
gore it and will only permit it to eat
the refuse, after their hunger had
been satisfied.
A great many farmers have the idea
that this will tougher the animal, but
it is far more apt to result in a stinted
calf, which will pass most of the spring
trying to make up for what it lost
during the winter. Loss of thrift OF
s'calf-fesh" is clear loss in feeding,
care and shelter, and animals so
treated will never attain the size OF
those well fed, no matter what the
after care may be.
With such treatment there is no.
thing to show for what has been con-
sumed during the winter. Care, nu-
tritious feed and separate quarters
must be given the calves, if there is to
be constant advance in growth and
ripeness from birth to maturity.
When this is done the calf will grow
through every month in the year, and
give a profit, to the farmer. The
sooner it natures the more money it
means to the owner.

Sued For Belling a Rat.

Troubled by rats householder in
the Avenue de Neuilly, at Paris, man
aged to trap one of the swarm, and,
being Of mechanical turn OF mind,
slipped collar furnished with small
silver bell around the rodents neck
and set it free. The result was that
the rats disappeared from that special
house and migrated to another few
doors of, where studious man o.
nervous temperament resided. Wax
ened in the night by curious tinkl'ng
sound, which came fitfully, apparently
from every corner of the room, ne be-
came convinced that his house was
haunted by day and by night, and lost
his health through anxiety and terror
Having at length discovered the cause,
he has now commenced lawsuit
against the man who belled the rat,
demanding heavy damages. - New

CARE OF TURKEYS.

1t is seldom that turkeys are given
place for roosting that is sure pro-
lection against exposure. Turkeys
are allowed to roam at will, not 80
much because they can be kept easier
by allowing them their liberty, but
because they are self-sustaining. 1t
is known by all farmers that turkeys
will not thrive under confinement !;
but it is not necessary to turn them
loose entirely.
They apparently do well when they
are made to take care Of themselves,
but the number of young turkeys
Matched, compared with the number
raised, is evidence that something is
wrong, at least so far as saving them
up to the age of two months is con-
cerned.
Turkeys may be taught to come mp
to the barnyard regularly, and to go
on roost that is protected from cold,
but they must be so taught when
young. They seek the trees, not be-
cause they prefer being out in the air,
but because they desire to be safe
against their natural enemies. Give
them high roost under an open shed
and they will thrive better and attain
larger weight than if exposed.
A frozen comb or waffle means that
the bird is severely injured. 1t is
equivalent to the frosting of an arm
with an individual. Until the injury
is healed the fowl is incapacitated
from service. It is sick and may die.
To prevent the freezing OF the comb
is important, as upon it depends the
production of eggs. Plenty of food
to make blood and warmth is a pro-
lection, but more dependence must
be placed on the shelter.
The comb will not be injured if the
bird is protected from the winds, but
crack in the wall is worse than out
side exposure. One part alcohol and
one of glycerine, applied once or twice
week to the combs and wattles, is
partial preventive, but should the
