A French statistician says that the
number of men and women in France
is more nearly equal than in any other
country of the world, there being
only 1907 women to 1000 men. In
Switzerland there are 1.064 men to
1000 women, and in Greece only 933.
The conditions In Hong Kong, accord
ing to this authority, are appalling"
there being only 366 women to 1000

Labels for Milk Cans.

Much confusion and waste would be
prevented If housekeepers who are
obliged to take care of a large quantity
of milk would label each can. The
American Agrlculturist gives valuable
directions for the systematic arrange
ment Of the various pans containing
milk. When the same number Of pans
are used to each milking and these can
be always placed in regular order upon
the shelves, there may be little danger
of getting Tuesday mornings milk
mixed up with that of Monday night.
but sometimes there Is room for only
n part of the pans upon one shelf. and
so some must be placed out of order,
or an unequal lumber of pans may
be used. and in this way uncertainty
often arises as to the age of the milk.
Neat labels may be made as follows:
Narrow slips of wood at one end, and
make a slit large enough to slip upon
the edge Of a pan. Let there be a
sufficient number. so that as many may
be marked Monday morning" as would
ever be wanted to accommodate a sim
gle milking. and let an equal number
he marked Monday evening"" Tues
day" Tuesday morning" and so on
through the days of the week. BY
this means a housekeeper can always
be sure, before she disturbs n pan,
whether 1t contains double or triple
cream.

1t was getting along towards the

not yet said he was anxious to stay.
The girl, however, had very nearly

The last thing she remembered his say

Europe or the moon or some other
foreign locality. Then he gave a kind

FOR THE FARMERS.
USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT FARM
WORK.
Wheat Feeding Results Stated in a
Nutshe1l-A Temporary Pole OF
Rail Fence-A Farm Wagon House.

In Kansas, under the conditions as to
product and prices Of wheat and corn
existing in the years 1885, wheat has
become a very unusual and very i'm
portant factor in the grain feeding of
all classes of farm stock. 1t is superior
to corn, pound for pound, as a grain
to produce healthful, well balanced
growth in young animals. Mixed with
corn, oats or bran. it is much superior
to either alone, for the work-horse.
Fed to cows, it is an exceptional milk
producer, and for that purpose corn is
scarcely to be compared with 1t. It
Is a superior food for all fowls, and as
q promoter of the maximum egg pro-
duction, is unsurpassed by any other
grain.
For swine Of all ages, 1t is a health
full and agreeable food, giving generous
returns In both framework and flesh,
but fed whole, especially without soak
ing. is used at a disadvantage. Ground
and made into Stops, 1t is Invaluable
for sucking sows, and for pigs both
before and after weaving.
Fol cattle, it has. at least as a part
Va GliCh SlaIu AutlOuS, u very uISl Ndl>
ue, which Is much enhanced In the line
of needed variety by mixing with corn,
and in a still greater degree by mixing
judiciously with bran, oil cake or other
albumnious foods tending to balance
the too carbonaceous nature Of the
clear wheat.
With corn and wheat approximating
the same price per bushel, it is not
Improbable nor wicked to feed the
wheat; yet, If it can be ground, rolled,
crushed or in some way broken at a
total cost not exceeding five to seven
cents per bushel. to feed it whole and
dry is unwise. 1t can be ground at a
cost Of five cents, and on a majority
Of Kansas farms for very much less.
If grinding is impracticahle, soaking
from "a to Sc hours (the length of time
| depending somewhat upon the wealth
er and season. Is for various reasons
| deemed desirable. but is injudicious to
| any extent, because its being moist
facilitates swallowing without the mas
tication or the proper mixing with sal
iva. Any arrangement or system Of

| cred in such a way that the animal
could eat but slowly, would largely
overcome this effect.

Working His End of 1t.

Johnny was q page in the legislature
Of Pennsylvania; his father represent

state.
The boy was brushing his teeth with
n nail brush n morning, when Miss
Jones, q boarder in the house where
Johnny and his father were, spied him.

claimed. "Why do you not use the
other end of the brush"
With his mouth full of soap bubbles,

In course Of transit between New
York and New Orleans a packet of pa

its contents considerably reduced.
Two Of the els had been
broken and one had been resealed by
thumb pressure. Mr.. Carvalho, an ex-
pert In matters of identification, endeav-
ored to find out the thief, and with
ills view obtained wax impressions
of the thumbs of all the officials of

clearly agreed with an enlarged pho

1t is a great mistake to peel potatoes
before cooking them. The skin, like
the bark Of all medicinal roots. Is the
richest part Of the tuber. Potatoes
baked are more nutritious than pre-
pared in any other form, because the
valuable mineral salts are held in solu-
ton by the pellicle of the skin. If
1t is desired to remove the skin it should
be done by rubbing with a rough cloth,
which preserves the true skin.

Best Temperature of Water for

There is nothing better for all farm

temperature of 1t is the best possible.
Warm water is nauseous to an animal,
as to a person; the refreshing effect
of q cool draught of water we all know.
Just the same we know how ice-cold
water makes the teeth ache and the

from the blood to become warm itself.
A temperature of 90 OIL go degrees is
the very best for the animals in the
winter, and water from any good well
will be somewhere near enough to this.

THE GoTHE ARCHIVES.

Goethe. as is well known, liked to
make use of his secretary's pen, nor did
he disdain. when on his travels. to die
tate to the unskilled penananship of his
coachman. The final copy, however, was
invariably made by Goethe himself: the
Italian ~caligraphy of "1phigenia. written
on dainty water-lined paper with the
Papal armorial bearings; the wonderful
Latin inscription OF. the"Roman -Eie-
gies;'' or the beautiful folio sheets of the
"Diyans." once seen, are not easily for
gotten. The short and delightful Poems
of YOUTH" which Goethe had written for
his granddaughter, were complied. with
the rest. in serrowfui remembrance of
her who had been called away while in
her early bloom. Most enticing was it
to prove the veracity Of the "Autobiog-
raphy" at the fountain-head in the abb

that Goethe jumped out of bed like a
