Sound Bodies.

Every one in these days likes to be
we'll and strong. We try to know the
kind of food we ought to eat. how we
should exercise, how many hours we
should work, sleep and play. We do all
this because we have learned that to do
our work, no matter where or how we
work, to do it we'll we must be strong.
Ill health means bad temper. bad man
ners, and general failure to do and be
what we should.
We hear a good deal of talk about
civil service examinations. This means
that in order to get certain positions
under the Government man must not
only know a given number of things,
but must be physically sound. A man
wanted position as policeman. He
was faithful, healthy, strong, cheerful
and intelligent. He was examined ply
sically, and rejected because he had lost
his back teeth. He could run and jump,
and meet the other requirements. but he
was positively rejected. The loss of his
teeth proven ted the proper mastication
of food, and the man would probably
have dyspepsia. and dyspepsia leads to
many diseases, and that would mean loss
of strength. The man said that as boy
he never paid any attention to his teeth;
when they began to ache he had them
pulled. 1t was a great disappointment
to the man; he wanted to be police
man. Not one-half of the men who ap-
ply for physical examination pass. The
causes are many. Not infrequently the
men at some time have strained their
body in some place, or some organ Of the
body, by too violent exercise. and this
overstraining causes physical defect.
Good food that feeds the body. cleanli-
ness, exercise, rest and work properly
taken, is a doctors prescription for
sound health.

POULTRY.

The owner of scrub chickens has
never yet figured upon the profit of keep
ing good ones, and under any conditions
half hearted attention never brought up
a full and fine lot of young fowls; and,
further. profitable egg production comes
of intelligent care and feeding.
Clean and dry quarters are the price
of health to the flock. All nest boxes
and roosts should be made movable for
convenience and effectiveness on clean
ing day. Even the ground floors should
be raked and occasionally spaded up, to
remove the hurtful effect of the daily
deposits.
Give the fowls an early breakfast; it is
their nature to be up betimes. Rob the
pigs of enough of the spare milk TO give
the biddies daily ration, and do not al
low the table scraps to become soured.
but feed them while fresh. For the
grain ration it has been found that
wheat is very economical food.
What is the use of feeding job lot of
old cocks over winter? Cut eff their
heads before they eat them eff. The
flock will DO all the better if not annoyed
by the presence Of one until they are
needed in the early spring. 1t is like
wise a mistake to keep any Of the three
year old hens in stock.

English traceries in its regularly spaced

RUSTIC ENGLAND.

In the October Century Mrs. Anna
Bowman Dodd describes an attractive
scene in rural England:
The green waterway seemed to have
captured the secret of perpetual twi-
light, the day finding it's way only
through the dense arch woven by the
osiers and willow boughs.
Presently stood forth through the
glistening tree trunks the fair facade of
a stout, substantial mansion mantled in
ivy. 1t was Horning Hall. Close to the
farm girlish shape was seen leaning
over rustic stile. 1t was traditional
pose in which to discover feminine
rusticity; but the living loveliness of
the girls fair face, and the soft, animal
wonder in her hazel eyes, made one OBJ
livious of all other less genuine models.

professional question. Its milk, my
lass. an eggs, il you've got 'em fresh"
Mills was obviously entirely at his ease
with the rustic divinity. With long,
sailorlike lurch forward he took his
place beside the girl, leaving us to follow.
San the gov'nor. how is he? An your
aunt, an the stock?" we heard him say
as the two bent their steps toward the
back of the farm house. Mills took his
way to the barn while the girl seized our
own moment of indecision to grasp the
milk jug and cross the court yard. AS
we stood watching her, noting her young,
fresh loneliness, why was it that sudden
Iy other equally fair and comedy shapes
took their places beside her-that Mag
gle Tulliver, Hetty Sorrel. and Tess of
the D'Urbervilles should also be cross
ing that sunfooded court yard, trailing
before our eyes the memory of their
tragic fate? The peace, the perfect still
ness of the farm house enclosure, the
wet and dewy earth shining through
the tree boughs, the herds of cattle and
the droves Of sheep moving under the
fresh sunlight yonder, the very drone
of the bees in the bushes, had brought
vividly to mind those immortal types of
women whose histories seem forever in
terwoven with such homely notes as the
pouring of milk into tin cans and TIE
rhythmic thud of the churn.
The farm maiden meanwhile had filed
our milk jug, and Mills visit within the
barn had come TO an abrupt end. We
were about to depart when. in an in
spired moment. we ceased gazing at a

STOCK.

One advantage in regularity in feed
ing is that it procures regularity in
growth, and more uniform product
1t is very important urder present con
ditions to procure early maturity with
all classes of stock, and especially with
those intended for meat. Breeding and
feeding are both important items in
this.

is different when these wires are strung
through hedge; the animals desist
when they feel the sharp barbs. In
fact, two or three such wires put through
a hedge will make an effective protec-
ton against most of our stock.
Have some good stock ready to sell on
the market every month. To wait for
a rise in prices often but consumes feed
at loss. and the rise, if it comes, is off

set by the waste of feed Make the
farm stock chief reliance, not for this
year only. but for all time, and then
stock raising will pay.
Grade up to pure bred sires to get that
early maturity and superior quality de-
veloped by the skill of the successful
breeders. Such stock prompts one to
liberal feeding and the best care. Scrub
stock and neglect generally go together
and lead to disappointment.
Do not let the pastures go down in
vigor and fertility; re-seed the bare
spots, and do not let the stock eat off the
grass too close before cold weather.
Save some grass. and SOW soine, rye or
save some turnips, beets, carrots or po-
tatoes to feed during the winter. Thus
doing, you will do it on a larger scale
another year.
1t is the first few hurries of the ele-
ments which work the greatest havoc
among the herds. The steady cold of
the midwinter months is better endured
by all kinds of stock than the extremes
OF weather incident to the opening of
the winter season. See that they go in
to winter quarters without any disad-
vantages.
1t requires some judgment to know
when the best stage of fattening has
been reached, and it is easily possible to
feed little too long. Especially is this
so late in the fall or the winter, when
the weather is cold and considerable
food is required to maintain animal
heat. On the other hand, it is loss to
sell until properly fattened.
We were making good progress intro
ducing the improved breeds before the
panic, but low prices caused many farm.
ers to give up stock raising, although it
was not for the reason that there was
anything more profitable. Now, with
the changing tide, the most are stocking
up again, and stock raising will soon be-
come the universal attraction for the
farmer.
When anything like reasonable care
is taken to preserve it. the manure from
the stock should pay for the work Of
feeding and caring for them, SO that the
cost of the feed given during growth
and the finishing for market, with the
cost of service can be considered as the
real cost of the animal.
The value of corn fodder is much en-
HANGED when properly prepared, especi-
ally for cattle, whether for milk, for
growth or for fattening purposes. The
sharp edges. when cut up, sometimes so
hurt the mouth as to cause them to eat
it sparingly. When reduced to pulpy
mass it is enjoyable food for the animal,
and profitable one to the farmer and
breeder.

DAIR ".

With the dairy COW, as with the work
horse, the best price can usually be OBJ
taind when full maturity is reached.
or course, this class of animals need not
be fat, but if they bring the best return
they must be in good, thrifty condi-
ton.
The intelligent and methodic dairy
man who keeps his COWS under shelter
in winter will see that the hustle and
hustle of feeding time does not conflict
with the hour of milking. The COWS
should be quiet, and the air should be
free from dust from the moving of hay
or fodder.
When we buy milk by the pound the
results for cheese making are uncertain.
Pay for the fat in the milk and COR
rect system of measurement is obtained,
for the amount differs with the breed
and with cows of the same breed, as we
we'll know. 1t is possible to increase the
yield of cheese or butter without in
creasing the cost or the number of the
animals.
Abundant food supports the animal,
but will never make good COW out of
small mixer, and there is no use vast
ing effort. The character or tempera-
ment of cow can not be changed; if
poor in kind she can never be made
good dairy animal any more than can a
roadster be made from a cart horse.
Without question the best and surest
preventive Of milk fever is to get the
cows in the best possible physical condi-
ton. with the bowels rather loose; then
have them calve in dry, comfortable
place, where they can be protected from
drafts or a sudden chill. There is no
objection to their being turned on the
pasture few hours daily.

THE WEED AND THE ROSE.

A little weed grew at the foot of a rose,
And they both breathed the soft SUNNI er air,
But the little weed sighed as it looked at the
rose,
For the rose was so tall and so fair,
At sunset the little weed tremblingly spoke,
And told of its love to the rose.
But the rose did not hear, for the language of
weeds
Is a language weed only knows.
When the little weed wept, washed the fair
roses feet.
And the rose was refreshed for the night.
The songs of the morning birds opened her
heart,
And she lifted her head to the iplt.
Then taller she grew. and her green leaves
spread wide,
Till they shut out the sunlight and air;
So the little weed died at the foot of the rose,
And the rose never knew it was there.

oNeI 1ucsc programs again anu again
during the last few years. And now
he was going to hear his boy sing, as
he himself might have sung if only
things had gone little differently.
The old Annisville Town Hall had
never been so crowded as it was on
the evening of Arthur Baldwin's first
Annisville concert. The aisles were
jammed in defiance of the law. There
was moment of breathless suspense
when all was ready and the singer
had not yet appeared. When he fin
ally stepped out upon the platform,
little older and stouter in build than
five years ago, but their own Arthur
Baldwin still, the clapping and
cheering and shouting were louder
than even at the loudest town meet
ing. 1t seemed as if the singer would
never have chance to sing; but after
while the noise subsidized, and, when
Arthur had said a. fewwords of greet.
ing to his old neighbors and friends
the recital began.
In the very front row sat old Mr..
Monet. He had refused to play the
accompaniment because he said he
wanted to hear his boy sing. At any
less enthralling entertainment it
would have been worth while to watch
the old Frenchman's behavior. He
swayed to and fro, he nodded appro
vingly, he smiled appreciation; but
he never clapped. They had never
heard such singing before. Arthur's
wonderful voice held them at its
mercy. Now he had them all silently
grieving, now he raised them all to
such thrilling sense of patriotism
that they could hardly keep their
seats. And, last of all, the last song
on the program, came the tenor solo
from 1.-The Prodigal Son." a special
compliment to old Monet. Quietly
and sadly rose and fell the cadences
of the accompaniment until they were
joined by voice of almost heavenly
purity and sweetness. Arthur's whole
being seemed to be carried away with
what he was singing. He seemed te
feel himself the outcast, wretched
prodigal who wished he were SER
want in his fathers house.
"How many hired servants of my
fathers have bread enough and to
spare" he sang sadly and bitterly,
and then, breaking into an excess of
despair, "while / perish with hun
ger" His audience followed him
breathless. 1t seemed almost super
natural. They too felt that it was
the prodigal son himself who was
singing to them. 1t was something
which no person in the hall ever for
got; and when the end came, all was
still. Clapping seemed Dissertation.
Only few sobs broke the complete
silence.
When Arthur had recovered him,
self, the first thing he did was to go
down to speak to his old teacher.
Jean Monet's face, withered and worn
as it was, looked handsome as he
stumbled up to his pupil.
He tried to speak as sternly as of
old: "Not kvite so spasmodic on de
'fader,' in dat place" the strain
was too much for the old man. He
stopped in the middle of his criticism
and threw his arms around his pu-
pills neck.
ooh, my boy-my boyw he cried;

dreams, ven l dream l am in hea-
