The investigations of the experiment
stations demonstrate what careful breeders
have long suspected-tbat is that an exclusive
diet of corn is neither profitable nor most con-
ducive to the normal development OF swine.
Hogs should have more mineral salts and more
albuminoids than are found in corn. By feed
ing, in addition to corn, reasonable quantity
of oats, barley, peas. bran. middlings, wheat, or
other articles OF food, and giving lime, sshes,
or salt or ground bone, there is secured
greater relish for food. with good digestion sad
assimilation, and, in addition, there is a normal
growth of the body which secures hardness

Great deeds come only TO few;
Little things count ia everyday life
And make il grand and true.

Or a smile on gloomy day,
Some iigtle token, lovingly given,
Is a flower along the way.
Speedily to-day do what you may,
Don't idly wait for the years to GO;
Time will weaken each buoyant step
And crown bright locks with snow.

Youths glory upon your brow.

OUR RURAL TOPICS
Some Practical Suggestions for Our
Agricultural Readers

A good word may be spoken in favor OF fine
Winter pear, which gives rs a really delicious
fresh fruit at Midwinter. Other pears called
White" varieties often keeponly into Novem-
Der, or at longest to the middle Of December, bus
these, under good treatment, keep all through
January. This is the Josephine de Mailines,
or, as certain gardener calls it, "Jo- MaIines,"
for the sake of brevity. It must be gathered
as late in Autumn as will answer to escape FROST
and kept in a wsll-sired apartment at Uniform
ly low temperature. It's light-green color will
remain till ripe when it will assume partly .
light yellow. It has the distinctive character.
istic Of light, soft salmon color at and around
the core, and the peculiar sweet and rich favor
and perfumed flesh givsit a delicious character
when well grown. This pear does not reach
perfection In all situations. It needs high
culture, It is Of rather slender growth, which
is one reason that it is not more widely grown,
nurserymen not choosing to offer to purchasers
trees of feeble appearance, and purchasers
wishing to plant large and stout ones. There
are several other good pears commonly rated
as Winter varieties, but which usually ripea
nearly month sooner unless kept in a cold
house, such as Winter Nelis, Lawrence, Jones,
Columbia, Aremberg. and others. Some Winter
pears never ripen into a juicy, melting eharsc-
ter, but the Josephine de Halines is always
faultless in this respect.-Coaastry Gentleman.
A profitable dairy COW Is one that yields net
less than 600 gallons OF milk year, the milk
containing not less than four per cent. Of but
ter-fat. cow yielding 600 gallons year
ought to give during the % earlier weeks Of
her milk-flow about 40 gallons, which, at the
rate of one pound Of cheese to each gallon Of
milk, would amount, after allowing for shrink
age, to 400 pounds of cheese. And If the milk
is for the butter dairy, the produce Of 500
gallons containing four per cent. of fat
ought to be 240 pounds Of butter. The
best means of developing and improving the
milking capacity of cows are. selection ana
breeding. The lives of good mixers should
be preserved as long as possible. Statistics
show that of all the animals subjected during
the last eight or nine years to public test at
milking trials. those which were over six years
old gave from 20 to 25 per cent. more milk, and
from 20 to % per cent. richer milk, than thosS
under that age.

There is much difference Of opinion among
dairymen as to whether it pays to warm the
drinking water for the cows during the Winter.
Some are of the opinion that the best results
are obtained when the water is heated to about
20 degrees, while others maintain that the cows
do just as well when given water at the ordi-
nary temperature; that is, 45 to so degrees.
All, we think. will agree that il is best not t.
give water at lower temperature than 40 de-
grees. The tub or trough should be either
upset after watering. to drain out the water, or
should be provided with plug in the bottom
for this purpose; then let the water be pumped
fresh from the well or turned on from the eis-
tern while the cattle are drinking. and nok
allowed to cool or freeze b. exposure before
they satisfy themselves. Cows accustomed
TO drink warm water will not drink cold water,
hence the Importance of regularity in warming

The successful calf feeder will always uss
more tact than force in teaching calf to drink.
He will never allow a foolish calf to betray him

allow the calf to suck the whole hand or single

its nose, gently bring it to the milk held in .
convenieut-sized pail in the other hand. By
separating the fingers, hold back the sides Of
the tongue and insure the entrance of milk az
the calf sucks. If the milk is warm, there will

obliged to dip my hand repeatedly into the milk

first to the third trial, while others will need
the fingers for much longer time.-F. z

A Girl. Dangerous Friendship.

A girl who reads this magazine writes 70
me and asks whether Platonic friendship -
possible OF desirable under either ordinary o.
extraordinary circumstances, writes Edward
w. Box in April Ladies Home Journal. 10
my mind it is not Where q man or q woman
feels the need of close friend or confdante Of
the opposite sex in any phase of life, il is far.
better that friendship should exist without
the Platonic element entering into it.
A Platonic friendship, which means, In
other words, a spiritual friendship that re-
CARDS only the mind and not material things,
is best suited for an ideal world, and that is
not the sort Of a world the most of us live IN.
The men and women capable of understanding
PlatOnic relation are Tare-very rare indeed.
To a girl such friendship is particularly
dangerous, since she is scarcely capable of dis
corning that almost invisible line which di-
vides Platonic friendship from love. HeS
mind is incapable of the division, and the
border line, all too apt to be uneonsoiously
passed by her, is followed by results that ara
never desirable.

Protection of the Seals.

Secretary Gresham was able to announce at
the Cabinet meeting last Friday the practical
success of the American contention in the Der.
ing Sea question.
The British Foreign Office authorities have in
the last few days signifed their acceptance of
all the terms proposed by Secretary Gresham,
except the duration of the Convention, advanc-
ing strong arguments in favor of a modus vi
vendi lasting for one year instead OF q treaty
of 10 years limit The United States has con-
tinued firm in insisting upon the treaty,
thereby removing this vexatious question from
discussion for long time. 1t is, however, not
beyond possibility that 10 years will be stricken
from the draft and one year substituted, with
the idea that the experience of the coming
Summer will develop certain desirable features
for incorporation in the long-term treaty. In
either event, it is probable the Convention will
be submitted to the Senate for ratification

None of our photographers give "cat-a-

Cater-cornered " is given as local English

small type. Halliwell derives "cater-cor-
nered" from quatre through the provincial
"cater," to cut diagonally But why 90 so
far? Might not catter-cornered be only
corrupt quarter-cornered THAT is, quar-
tered by lines through the corners instead of
in the more usual way, by lines at right
angles to the sdes2 This etymology seems
to be confirmed by curious bit of folk-speech
in the upper Hudson country. Our people,
in saving or mailing anything at an angle
other than right angle, do not place it or
cut it "quartering, which is the Teeog-
nized technical term-but catering" / am
