BOmc POINTS ABOUT winter Fee0fng.
Have plenty of litter on the floor
of the house and throw grain into
this for the hens to hunt out. Chat
off the barn floor or forest leaves
make the best material for this lit
ter.
Keep water constantly before the
fowls for they require it as much in
Winter as in Summer,
Feed cut bone freely during the
Winter for the laying hens need
something to supply the place Of
the bugs they forage for during the
Summer. Meat food of some kind
is absolutely necessary to laying
hens for the best results.
Feed corn that has been charred
often during the Winter. The best
way to char it for a small flock is
to she'll it and put it in the oven Of
the kitchen in baking pan. Stir
it occasionally and leave it until
thoroughly charred and if the
weather is cold feed it as warm as
you can bear your hand in it. The
fowls like it wonderfully we'll.
Hang up a head of cabbage high
enough above the floor 80 the hens
must jump to reach it and you will
induce them to take exercise that
they need.
Chop up beets, turnips, potatoes
or other vegetables and feed as
much as they will eat twice a week
If you are feeding clover hay
gather up the scatterings and throw
to the hens and see how they will
eat it.

FARM Notes.
Dairy Statistics.


There are more than two thou
sand millions of dollars invested in
the dairy business of this country.
Two billions of dollars is sum so
vast that we cannot comprehend it.
1t is almost double the amount in
vested in banking and commercial
enterprises. 1t is estimated that it
requires 100000 cows to supply
the demand for milk and its pro-
ducts in the United States. This
is about one COW to each four in
habitants. 1t requires the cultiva-
ton of 100000 acres of land to
feed these COWS. the implements
and machinery used in the bus
mess are worth $2O0,OOO,OOO. More
than 10000 men are directly en-
gagged in the business and the use
of 100000 horses is called for.
The cows and horses used in the
dairy business consume 100000
tons of hay, 120,00O,0O0 bushels of
corn, 275,000,0O0 bushels of oats,
100000 bushels of bran, and not
to mention brewers grains and 9TH
er foods of questionable value.
1t costs $45O,OOO,O0O to feed these
COWS and horses, and the labor en-
ploped costs $18O,000,0OO more.
The average COW yields $50 gallons
of milk in a year, which, at IL
cents a gallon is worth $54. The
aggregate yield is 6, 75O,0O0,O00 gal.
Ions, worth $S1O,OOO,OOO a year, if
it was all sold as milk. Only five
per cent. of the milk produced in
this country is made into butter
and cheese. 1t takes q pounds of
milk to make a pound of butter
and ten pounds of milk to make
one pound of cheese. Eight and
one half pounds of milk is worth
as much for food as one pound of
beef. A fat steer furnishes half his
weight in beef, and it would require
24,OOO,OOO steers weighing 1900
pounds each to furnish the same
amount of nutrition as the COWS
of the country furnish in the way
of milk. / know these figures are
pretty large, but I have taken them
from sources that are acknowledged
authority, and give them that the
public may have an adequate idea
of the vastness of the industry.
Notwithstanding all these large fig
ures, the dairy business of the
country is just in its infancy, and
its future will justify figures that
will make the ones i have given
look small.-By Henry Geysr in
Lave Stock Journal

Care for Headache.

As remedy for all forms Of Headache
Electric Bitters has proved to be, the very
best. It effects a permanent cure and the
most dreaded habitual sick headaches yield
to its influence, We urge all who are attic.
ted to procure bottle. and give this reme-
dy fair trial. In cases Of habitual consti.
patton Electric Bitters cures by giving the
needed tone to the bowels, and few cases
long resist the use Of this medicine. Try il
once. Large bottles only soc. at Flaws.

1t requires, says an exchange,
$500 locomotives annually, and
1000 ocean craft to move the sur

other staples grown in Texas.

The pig that has been on clover
in Summer and the hog that has
roots and clover hay in the Winter,
says writer, makes larger profits
than the grain-eating pig and hog.

The following are the require
ments of a good dairy COW. l. A
fair yearly production of milk and
butter. 2. Minimum amount of
feed to produce given amount of
butter. 8. Certainty of transmits
sion of milking qualities to off
spring. 4. Value of beef. 5. Gen
tleness of disposition and longevity.
Having the qualities in the foun-
dation herd, it will not be hard to
keep it up to the standard and
make constant improvement.
Glover hay and corn fodder are
the best feeds for milch cows.
Nothing exceeds them with the pos
sible exception of silage, and this
is in dispute. Oil meal is good be-
cause of its laxative qualities when
all dry feed is fed, but it is not
equal to cotton seed meal in the
production of milk. Bran from a
roller mill is not good for much,
Middlings and ground ear corn are
good. Kindness does not cost
cent, and good care and shelter re-
duces the feed bills very much.
Milk drawn from an infamed
udder will almost invariably, if
made into butter, develop an I'M
pleasant odor. Do not even feed it
to the pigs. Pour it on the manure
pile as it is unfit for use.
Overlooking the COW tends to
poverty. Not only is the super
fluous food wasted, but it deranges
the stomach and interferes with the
secretion of fat and milk. With
the COW, as with all other animals,
the stomach is the kitchen, and if
this is deranged the whole house is
in confusion.
When feeding a COW do not try
to see how little you can give her
and have her do pretty well, but
Just how much she needs to do her
best.
Heifers should have something
besides corn and hay while grow
ing up. Give them oats, middlings
and other bone and musCle-forming
feeds. It will pay later.
More than any other place the
dairy barn should be kept from
odors. Pure oxygen and not poi
sonous heterogeneous vapors is what
nature designed and requires to
renovate the blood. This principle
works the same in animals as with
mankind. Pure air, pure and
wholesome food are absolutely nee
essary to the production of pure
milk.

MAsoNs OF JAPAN.-The English
speaking Masons of Japan have called
upon the Supreme Council, 33d degree
of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish
Rite at Washington, to use its influence
with the President of the United States
to have clause inserted in conven-
ton between Japan and this country
which is soon to be submitted, provid
ing for the exemption of Freemasonry
from the edict against secret societies.
1t seems that Americans and Euro
peans residing in Japan are to be put
on footing with the japanese and made
subject to all local regulations, which
would mean the closing up of Masonic
lodges.
The Acting Grand Commander of the
Supreme Council, Thomas II. Caswell,
will lay the matter before the President
aud in the meantime he is working on
members of Congress who are expected
TO see the chief executive in relation to
the new treaty. Captain John F.
Mayer, inspector general of the Scot
tish Rite for Virginia, has written to
Hon. George D. Wise and enclosed
him a circular letter setting forth the
facts and the argument as submitted by
the workers of Japan. The committee
at work on the matter consists of Blue
Lodge and Scottish Rite Masons, alike
These Masonic bodies in japan are
said to be doing vast amount of good,
both in caring for the sick and needy
and in educating the people on the
lines OF religion and constitutional gov.

EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.

For whole week Europe has been
hearing reports of an understanding be-
tween England and Russia, and stories
of a complete readjustment of internal
relations on the continent. No higher
authority for these rumors has been adj
duced than the remarkable intimacy be-
tween Emperor Nicholas and the Prince
of Wales throughout Russia's period of
mourning, yet the diplomatic world is
nearly convinced that closer under
standing between Russia and England
will mark the first part at least of the
young Cars reign.
The change makes for peace, and the
young Car is already hailed as
worthy successor to his fathers mission
as the peace-keeper of Europe. Spec
ulaton is rife on the point as to what
could induce the British lion to permit
even the impression to get abroad that
he is seeking close friendship with
any great continental power.
The Russian rapprochement, if it ex-
lists, means an immediate humiliation
for England, which, even few months
ago, her statesmen would not have
considered for a moment. 1t means
that Russian war ships will soon have
free passage III the Dardanelles with
British consent. If Russia gains the
prize Of an open highway to the Medi-
terranean, she will score one of the
most splendid diplomatic triumphs in
history.
Russia's friendship for the French
republic had ior its personal effect not
a popular revival Of the French fever of
revenge against Germany, but astrong,
bitter, almost universal hatred of Eng
land. This feeling had several mani
festations, and once, at least, it almost
led to a rupture between the two ma
tons.
But France now understands clearly
that any indulgence in anti-English pas
sion will work an estrangement with her
Muscovite friends, and there are al
ready signs that she is trying to accept
the new situation with the best grace
possible.
Germany, on the other hand, is show
ing nasty temper over the reported
friendship between England and Rus
sa, and her exhibition of spleen is COM
bined with evidences of serious uneasi'
ness. The question of the Dardanelles
is being gravely debated both in Berlin
and Vienna, and although candid critics
admit their impotence against combined
action by England and Russia, the right
of Germany and Austria to protest is
being urgently asserted.

DR.. F. ger Nedden, of Milwaukee, is
in the city and is ready to attend during
this week to the patients who wish to
consult him at the Commercial Hotel in
Centralia. The medicine he uses has
often effected a cure where all hope had
been given up. He treats all kinds Of
diseases, but makes chronic and
nervous troubles, heart disease, cancer,
rheumatism and consumption special
ties. All those inflicted with long
standing troubles and who have been
unable to find relief anywhere, are
particularly welcome TO him. He uses
the genuine Eiectro-H homeopathic med
icine imported from ITALY, which works
on the same principles as the Homeo-
pathic medicine, but is by far superior
to it. Why say. 10 medicine can reach
my disease, when there is Il medicine
YOU have never tried, which has given
new hope and new JOY Of life to manv,
and which viii, if not entirely care you,
at least lie 4 great relief to you Consult

ROSSlER-WHITNEY.

4 quiet service, performed by Rev.
J. R. Fretts at the residence of .Ir.
Jos. Whitney on High St, Tuesday
evening October 9th, at 6 o'clock,
joined as man and wife Mr.. Edmond II.
Rossier, of Central1a, and Miss Ella L.
Whitney of Grand Rapids. Only
relatives were presentand the ceremony
was unpretending and modesto
characteristic of the bride, who was
one of our most highly respected young
ladies. Miss Whitney wore a cream
silk dress, richly and plainly made,
trimmed with cream colored lace, and
carried in her hand large boquet of
delicate white roses. Mr.. Rossier Was
attired in conventional black. They
were attended by Miss Mamie Whitney,
sister Of the bride, and Mr.. Alfred
Rossier, brother of the groom. After
partaking in royal wedding supper
the couple departed on the evening
train for Lacrosse and Sparta, in which
latter place they will be entertained by
Mr.. Fred Gross and wife.
The bride was bonn and reared IN
Grand Rapids and is known to all as a
noble lady, generous and kind Of heart,
bearing a spotless character and a wide
reputation for generosity and goodness
which no words of ours could heighten.
She has been long and actively
connected with the Methodist church
in this city where she has endeared
herself by word and act to the hearts
of all true Christians. She was en-
ployed for several years in the
mercantile establishment of Geo. A.
Corriveau, Centralia, where her services
will be greatly missed. She has every
essential quality to make her a wise and
able helpmate in life, q true and
affectionate mother to preside over the
sanctities of home. Mrs. Rossler will
be greatly missed in this community.
The groom is gentleman of thorough
business qualifications who was for
many years identified with business
interests in the twin cities. He is a
genial, cordial man and makes friends
wherever he goes. He is at present in
charge of the Jackson Milling Co.'S
flour mill at Wausau, which city will be
their future home. We heartily COM
mend this couple to the good people of
that city and know that they will be
accorded the respect and esteem which
we would like to give them if they
could be induced to reside in our cities.
Many hearty good wishes Of friends
here follow them on their wedding
journey.
