WEIGHT AND THE YIELD OF MrLK.

Careful comparisons made in Ger
many from the records of large herds,
show that there is no relation or even
approximate relation between the live
weight of cows and the yield of milk.
The record of n Norwegian herd for
ten years, shows that in different years
the average yield of milk per pound of
live weight averaged for the herd be-
tween 4.39 and 6.6 pounds. The
amount increased during the first
eight years. The individual record
for 1898 for herd of eighteen COWS
shows that the milk yield varied from
4,206 to S,196 pounds during the year
and yield per pound of live weight
ranged from A to 7.3 pounds. -

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Look out for we'll bred heifer
calves.
Too much hay makes a horse rough
and pot-bellied.
Too much bran fed to very young
calves is not desirable.
We have too much quantity and not
enough quality in our horses.
A full and unfailing supply of pure
water is of great money value in the
dairy.
A little vaseline and carbolic acid
applied to parts of the horse that he
cannot touch with tail or head will
give him much relief by keeping flies
away.
The health of horse depends on
the soundness and proper adjustment
of his teeth. They are the milestones
that grind his food, and frequently
need attention.
Bees starve because they do not
have plenty of food in the right place,
which is above the cluster. In cold
climate they cannot be kept warm by
packing little straw or chaff about
them.
Breeders of grade draft horses have
made very serious mistake in selling
their draft mares to shippers and thus
reducing their number much below
the producing capacity necessary to
supply the current demand for heavy
horses for the business of the coun.
try.
In feeding common molasses or sor-
ghum, Mrs. Atchley has said that she
could not get the bees to take hold of
it. except in case of some colonies
which were starving to death. If they
can be made to store enough in their
combs they will probably winter sue.

Let it be told in whispers-but
almost all the imported skirts have at
least two fine wire hoops in them, one
around the edge and one between the
knee line and the bottom OF the
skirt. To give skirt the pose
and "hang" it seems necessary to
have something more durable than
even the stiffest crinoline. This one
is of brocade, which is among the ex-
pensive materials in vogue. The bro
cades are figured with small and large
designs, and although many of the
richest materials have sufficient body
"to stand alone" they are ''braced
up" and out with tiny wires-mere

A FORTUNATE DISCOVERY
Prof. Farand Said to Have Found Posi-
tive Cure For Asthma and Hay Fever.

Prof. Farrand Said to Have Found Posi-
tive Cure For Asthma and Hay Fever.
Among the few really eminent botanists
of America, Prof. Farrand, of Vermont,
easily stands in the front rank, and dis
covery that he has recently made will do
much to add to his fame. In his journeys
to different parts of the country to gather
medicinal herbs, roots and barks for the
leading American and European pharma-
cists, he has naturally spent much time in
the Adirondack regions, that health-giving
resort for consumptives, asthmatics and all
sufferers from respiratory diseases. Here
hay fever is unknown, asthmatics breathe
freely and even consumptiyes conquer their
racking cough in the bracing forest air.
Prot. Farrand became impressed with the
idea that the herbs and leaves which fill the
Adirondack air with aromatic healing could
be gathered by him and sent to the homes Of
sufferers who cannot afford time or money
to go away. His great botanical knowledge
and practical acquaintance with the medic
inal values of all plants peculiarly fitted
him for his task.
He found happy combination that gave
the peculiar fragrance of the Adirondack
woods, and samples were sent to various
scientists and leading physicians, the Pro-
fessors calling it the Adirondack Asthma
Cure. Seventy-three per cent of the cases
in which it was used, some of them SEEM
ingly hopeless, reported a cure, while in all
the others great benefit was derived.
The different herbs and barks that are
used by Prof. Farrand in the Adirondack
Asthma Cure have to be gathered at certain
seasons of the year, when their medicinal
value Is at its height, and he was able to get
but limited amount. As long as this
quantity lasts. 1t is offered to the public
generally by the DIR. Howard Co., Burling-
ton, Vt, who will mail large sized box for
so cents. They do not want pay from those
whom this preparation does not cure, and
will return the money to any whom the Adj
rondack Asthma Cure fails to benefit. One
of the peculiar advantages of this cure,
which will make it seem a godsend to the
asthmatic or hay fever sufferer, is that the
user awakes as refreshed and bright in the
morning as If he had actually slept in the
inyigorating air of the Adirondacks. Send
so cents at once to the Dr. Howard Co.,
Burlington, VI, and cure disease that so
often brings the sufferer near to deaths
door, and yet allow him to live to suffer
again and again.
