SOME UNSEEN ENEMIES.

Among the worst enemies which far mers have are rats and mice. They do most of their work in the night or at times when no one is around and thus their presence is not always suspected. They not only do great damage in the hay and grain mows, but they get in the granaries, steal eggs, kill chickens, and do much other damage. In the chicken house they are especially destructive and are one of the worst known foes to young chickens. We have even known them to attack and kill full grown fowls while on the roost at night. A few good cats around the buildings will keep the mice we'll in check, but cat does not like to tackle a big rat. Poison, such as Rough on Rats, may be used if put in the holes or under the floors where other animals cannot get it. We have trapped many of them with an ordinary steel trap, but the best thing in this line is large wire cage trap such as will hold dozen or SO at one time. Keep few cats at any rate and encourage their presence by feeding them little milk night and morning. The Practical Dairyman.

 Noble B. Strong has left Florida and 1 was to be in New York early in the week, and to reach his home at Above All. It is the first Southern winter ever spent by him. Doubtless many prolong
 their lives by this sanitary operation. Some would go South but are too limited as to means. Some who have abun. dance of means prefer to endure the north- ern winter than to emigrate to warmer cline. Pulmonary diseases are often much mitigated by change of climate. It is a fortunate thing that what was not possible in 1919 with reference to Flori- da, it belonging to Spain and England, or in 1S46 with reference to California, which was claimed by the Spanish, is now possible. Florida is ours, sister state. California is ours sister state. We can go to Orange City in the former state if we desire to do so. or we can go to Los Angeles, in southern California, which was captured by Com Sioat and Gen Fremont in 1S46, and since then been under our jurisdiction and in 1850 Congress admitted her into the Union.

eNow it was my turn to be milked, and since he prefers to milk those other cows first, l will be even with him and not let
 my milk down." My reasoning is this
 During the time was milking one COW,
 when she would leak her milk, the time
 was not of sufficient length so to disturb
 her machinery that it would not work all
 right, but double the time was sufficient to do this. Again, while am positive Tn the belief of my first article on the sub-
 ject. am also just as positive that can to-day go into my milking stable,an by an extreme change in time or order in which the COWS are milked, show you several that will, as you would term it, hold up their milk.
 Each day my milk is weighed, and l know without the least doubt just what sha Il get at each mess, at least within one or two pounds (this is from what 1 am at present milking, 10 cows). In looking over my record for the past week, 1 see there has only been variation of three pounds during the week. But to- nights mess will be short, for one COW is in heat to-day, and without doubt, since she is very nervous COW, 1 shall find her holding up her milk.
 There is a good reason for this uni formity of yield of milk. The time of feeding, wateringand milking these cows has not been the least thing to give one of them chance to get her disposition riled so she could have an excuse for us- ing her wili-power to withhold her milk. After close study of the COW for over 30 years, am to-day satisfied that if were to live twice that number of years more, I should yet be learning something new about that most wonderful of the COW. And find that after. earning their natures and wishes, it is decidedly profitable as we'll as pleasant hing to conform to their ways. In my business, make everything else on the ,arm secondary to my dairy, for know lothing else will suffer from change AS hat will.-[H. s. M, Otsego County, N. Y., in Country Gentleman.

SAVE THE MANURE.

Stable manure is the cheapest and best fertilizer that farmers can use, yet some are so foolish as to look down upon it and back their judgment on commercial fertilizers. Stable manure costs nothing in cash outlay while the other does. It holds the moisture during dry time which the other does not. It loosens and lightens the soil while the other has a tendency Uo compact it. It gives up its plant food slowly and still has some left at the middle and last part of the grow ing season when the plant needs it most, while commercial fertilizer gives up it's plant food easily, ifmoisture is furnished, starts the plant with a boost at first and is all run out before the season is over. Use fertilizer if you can to start the plant and stable manure to grow it, but do not put any money into commercial fertilizer until you have scraped the barnyards and used every pound of manure there is on the premises. Then if you have not enough and can afford it, buy all the fertilizer you can.-[The Practical Dairy man,

COWS HOLDING UP THEIR MILK.

g After having set nay knees under cows and milking for 45 years, I have never found one of those cows with that par ticular will power,or with the disposition
 to use her will for the purpose of stop ping her How of milk. Mind, I do not
 say in all these years I have never had
 cows that, so to speak, held up their
 milk; for often when in heat, or when
 they are worried over their calf, or from
 some other thing that excites them, it
 has happened that could not get their
 milk. But so far have never known of
 a single instance when 1 could not find
 cause for it after these 45 years experi-
 ence; and from more than 30 years of
 close study of the COW I am convinced of
 the fact that there is no animal so strong
 lv creature of habit at that sense, that
 from the performing certain act at
 given time it becomes part of herself,
 and the power of this habit becomes so strong that the least variation will upset the animal.
 Here is an experience have had with in the past two weeks that will very clearly illustrate this power of habit and show a cause for the COW not giving her usual flow of milk. My cows stand in stalls by pairs. and as they have come fresh in milk, it was not in order as they stood from the head of the stable down, and one Of them that came fresh to milk about two weeks before those in the stall next below her was milked in her order, from those below her up to the time those in the stall next to her was fresh. When one of the pair had to be milked, this cow in the next stall that had been milked at the time was now milking the one next to her would leak her milk; and in two or three days more, when both cows in the stall next to her had to be milked, she, after leaking her milk for the few minutes time it took to milk the one COW, came to that point, when she had to l wait for the two to be milked that her milk did not flow freely when I wanted it. After trial of four days to make that COW suit my con- venience as to when I should milk her, I gave in to her whim of habit and l changed back tO milking her before | did the two next to her. The other two, | only having been milked for few days, l did not notice the change enough to l affect them. But in my opinion, had the | change been made after two or three ! Weeks' milking with the others, the re- | suit would have been the same as with | the one mentioned.
 Now I suppose you who believe that by their will-power cows hold up their milk will say this COW said in her mind

SUCCESS IH EGG PRODUCTION.

z It does not seem as though it would be necessary to refer so often to poultry for profit to one who can average 175 eggs a year from each hen j; but when we look at the average in this State which is less than four dozen a hen, while some get 200, it looks as though some one was keeping hens at loss.
 I will give an experience of mine with hens for five years. I have lived con. siderably in the woods and know how fowls and animals live according to na- ture. started on small farm, % acres, with 20 just such hens as many farmers have-the sort called dunghills. I got them to laying and for five years had eggs every day.
 started in the winter with 200 old and young. Found had more stock than room-a bad fault, for had more trou- ble in the next four months than Ii had in the following four years with the four principal diseases of the hen in cap- tivity-cholera, roup, lice and diarrhea. Here is my prescription for these troubles, more room, healthy food and at the first sight of disease, for cholera give one teaspoonful of carbolic acid in gallon of water; diarrhea, one teaspoonful o1 l tincture of Jamaica ginger in a gallon water; for lice, one teaspoonful sulphur in four quarts feed or mash; for roup mix boracic acid with water so it can be poured down the throat, give teaspoon full and they will be cured.
 | As result of these discoveries I haG fresh eggs every day and supplied lint of customers every week in five years besides supplying my best customer (my self.) During the two years 1891 ant '92, don't think had one hen that laie fewer than 175 eggs each year at cos of 73 cents hen, the price ranging iron 12 to 35 cents dozen. They hatchet the last year 97 per cent of all eggs set so you see it makes me mad when the, say hens don't pay and they want pro tection against Canada; yet they won spend cent to better their own condi Jion or sell out so some one else cal make home and do the work, unless h will pay them four times as much as it worth to them.-[H. .Bodey in Countr Gentleman.

And yet, when the winds have lashed the sea into full fury, when the ocean is stir red from it's great depths, it seems to mock the deeds of man; the waves then leap from ships stem to stern, they play and sport with the stontest vessel, they toss it like cork upon the crest of the pillows, and, as the driving hurricane, dashes the spray through the rigging, it seems to laugs and say: 70 you little man, did you dream in your vanity that you had conquered me? Did you think that with your stout-framed ship you could defy my power? Did you imagine that now at last you had gained the mas tery over old Ocean and could use me at your sweet will ?..Ahal you helpless being, even now methinks I could take you in my clutches and dash you, like the boys cockle-shell, upon the hard rocks, where, unpitied and unbefriended, you would breathe out your last groan. 7

Metal looks like pure gold. It's the same yellow metal clear through. A great point of superiority in this watch over others, is that this watch has SteeL emt pinions instead of the com mon ordin ary |" lantern " pin ions. Such a little price attached to a reliable time piece makes it most desirable for Farmers and Laborers of all sorts. Tickles the boys, too.

BIRTH OF THE BABE OF BETHLEHEM.

David and of the tribe of Judah, and
they called His name Jesus. And that
was 1898 years ago, but the event was
not forgotten. 1t became known to the
whole world. and forever the name will
be honored, cherished, venerated, be-
cause it was learned later that He was
the Son of God, and the only begotten
Son of the Most High.
Joseph was carpenter and worked
very hard at his trade. He married
Mary, the little mother, and she be-
came his loyal. loving wife. And the
child grew and waxed strong. He did
not know His divine origin. He called
Joseph His father, and He learned to
work at the trade. He helped Joseph in
many ways, and sharpened his tools for
him, and made implements and helped
build houses. But all the while Mary
was praying for manifestations of proof
of His divine origin. More things are
wrought by prayer than this world
dreams of, and Mary did not herself
know what great manifestations were
to come in answer to her prayers. She
only hoped and prayed.
Only little boy, but when He was IL
years of age, the shackles of human In
fuence fell from Him, and His eyes
were opened to His condition. In and
through Him were being worked the
great problem and plan of salvation for
all mankind. You and never stop to
think of the revelation that must have
stunned that mortal brain of the poor
little boy, who had supposed Himself
the carpenters son, until the veil was
lifted before Him, and He saw into the
holy of holes, and realized that He was
not as other men, but indeed the Son of
God. Until that time, He was only lit
tie boy, Just as other little boys; but He
was divinely fashioned for the work be-
fore Him, and accepted the ordeals as
they came.
Only little town, only little stable,
only little Manager. only little moth
er, only little baby, only little star.
and yet you and are celebrating with
mirth and Joy that event of the long
ago. aud all around the world the PEG,
ple are making holiday and gsyety. be-
