COusinIy.

Among the hardest things which the
infant Prince Edward Of the royal
house Of England, the little son Of the
Duke Of York and heir expectant to
the throne. will have to sraighten out
when he is older is his relationship to
his own father and mother. It consti-
tutes problem such as is seldom found
outside Of princely houses.
It is certain, however, that he is the
third cousin Of his father, and also the
second cousin Of his mother. This
makes his relation to himself some
where between that of third and fourth
cousin
He is, as it We're his own double
third cousin-a relationship which it
will doubtless take some time for him
to comprehend.
Both his father and mother are des-
cendents from George III. Of England.
George Ills son Adolphus, Duke Of
Cambridge, had daughter Mary who
married the Duke Of Teck aDd became
the mother of the Princess May, who
married the Duke of York; and the
Duke Of York's father, the Prince Of
Wales, is the great-grandson Of the
same King George III.
The young prince will have the right
to address either his mother, his father
OF himself as my royal cousin" and
he may, perhaps, excuse any partially
fol his mother over his father by de
claring that she is a nearer relation to
him than his father. I'll

Feeding Corn Stalks.

Corn stalks have a greater feedina..

False Supports for Beams and stills.
Frequently in erecting farm buildings,
the posts are of such slender dimensions
that the owner and carpenters do not
care to cut shoulder in them for the
support of the ends Of beams, sills OF

most urgently, that this subject be

The commission would suggest the
consideration by the states of the
adoption of some system of concilia-

not, and the question might be con-

tons q standing before the law, as
heretofore suggested for national
trade unions.
Contracts requiring men to agree not
to join labor organizations, or to leave
them, on conditions Of employment,
should be made illegal, as is already
done in some Of our states.

Treatment of Dry Cows.

A COW that is dry should be fed with
such food as will furnish an abundance
Of nutrition without largely increasing
the proportion of fat. 1t is the poorest;
kind of economy to let a dry COW run
down in flesh, and it is almost as bad
to make her fat. She should be kept
in a good thrifty condition and in as
perfect health as possible, for not only
the health Of her offspring and it's fut-
ure value of beef or milk depends on
these things, but the value Of the COW
as a mixer is effected for good or bad
by her condition during the period Of.
CESSATION. If COW is skin poor att
the time the calf is dropped she will
not give as much milk as she would
if in good condition, nor can she be-
fed so as to increase her flow to what
it would have been if she had been
properly cared for. 1t is quite a com
mon thing to have cows come in in
the fall for winter mixers and these
are drying during that part of the
year when pasturage is at it's poorest
and insects are most numerous. and
from these two causes dairy cattle.
are likely to become reduced in flesh.
If dry cows are not attended to at this,
time and given a supplementary rat
ion they often become thin and out OF
condition and when once this happens
it is hard to bring them back. 1t fol-
lows that the best course is to prevent
this from occurring, for upon attention
to this matter depends the profit from,
keeping the COW. @
