ReouItements of DaIry COWS.

Dairy animals require two-thirds of 4;
tull and generous ration of food to carry
on the ordinary functions of life. A
gain only can be made or profit re-
turned when the other third is present
in like quantity and quality. Whether
it is there or not, the animal functions
of life will be supported first and what
food remains will go toward making up
the profits which the animal is capable
of making. All the food the animal can
be induced TO eat and that cannot be
properly digested will go directly tic
profit What a COW eats beyond the
cost of keeping is what determines the
profit in her keeping. Beware of the
COW with small appetite, especially il
the pail shows small flow of milk.
Test her at once.-Farm and Home.

the deep pollen baskets, made deeper
by rim of coarse hairs. These curious
dinner pals are an important adjunct
in the bees structure furnishings, for
the young of all bees live wholly or in
large part on pollen, and thus these
busy cleaners need external dinner
pals in which to carry pollen no less
than internal ones in which to carry the
nectar. These hind legs also bear on
the inner face opposite the pollen bas-
kets rows of bright yellow hairs, which
are fashioned to comb off the pollen
that so abundantly lodges in the
branched hairs. Another most curious
arrangement of these hind legs is the
wax jaws, which remind US of steel
trap, and are admirably adapted to
their function of removing the wax
scales from beneath the body where
they are formed to the mouth, where
they are fashioned to form the i'm
maculate comb. The front pair of legs
have the curious antennae cleaners to
remove the pollen from the antennae.
Thus these antennae cleaners, with deli
cate brush and membrane, are really
the bees pocket-handkerch to be
used to wipe the bees nose-the an
tennae. Thus the antennae are kept
clean and so the bees can smell the
scent of bloom from afar. The eyes
of the workers are like those of the
queen; but the jaws and tongue are
greatly different from those of either
drone or queen. The jaws are gouge-
like, and, no doubt, admirably fitted to
fashion the comb, or to cut away dis
turbing cloth, paper or even wood.
The tongue is long, slender and very
complex. With it they can sip slowly
from long tubular flowers, lap or wipe
thick honey from board or glass, and
take nectar rapidly from loaded flowers.
A colony of bees have been known tn
take 20 pounds of honey in day, and
single colony in southern California
have taken GOO pounds in a season. The
worker bees do all the work of the hive.
The younger bees digest the food for
larvae queen and drones, fashion the
wax, nurse the young, construct the
comb-though in some respects all the
bees are comb builders-in short, do
all the work of the hive. The older
bees gather the nectar, pollen and
glue, ard may aid to build comb and
secrete wax. The worker bees are
reared in the small horizontal cells and
are 81 days from eggs to maturity, in
stead of 16, as in the case of the queen,
or 24 as in the case of the drone. The
quantity of food fed to the larvae is
what controls the development OF
either queen or worker. If the food is
abundant and rich, the impregnated
egg produces a queen; but if it is scant
and of poor quality then a worker re
suits. Here is Il case where enforced
lack of nutrition has become natural
and produces important structural
changes that modify greatly the life
functions

AMID THE STORM.

The Passengers the Disabled Vessel
Had But One Request to Make.
The stately ship rolled and plunged.
For many hours the captain had
sought to make Roadway against the
terrible gale, but at critical moment
portion of the machinery had become
disab and there was nothing to do
but to put the vessel about and run be-
fore the wind.
Great waves dashed over the bull
warks and swept the deck. The tim
bers groaned and creaked, and the wa
ter in the hold had begun to gain on
the pumps, which were now going
constantly.
A deputation of passengers waited
upon the captain.
I'VE have come, captain" said the
spokesman, ito ask if there is any
hope"
Il will not deceive you," he au.
swered. 1.-The ship is in great peril.
If the hurricane holds on six hours
longer we shall run on a ice shore.
While there is life, however, there is
hope"
Captain" rejoined the other, 1--WE
cheerfully bear testimony to the fact
| that you have done your duty. You
have done all that any man in your
trying situation can do. And now we
have just one request to make"
Name it,"
at is this: If the ship outrides the
storm and we escape the death that
now seems inevitable, we ask you to
promise that the reporters who write
this up for the papers shall be required
to pledge themselves not to use this
| formula:
g Strong men grew pale, women
tainted, and children screamed with
terror"
II promised" responded the captain
solemnly.
And the stately ship went on rolling
and plunging.-Chicago Tribune.

ERRORS ABOUT SHEEP.
H1nts About the Introduction OF scab m
grreafr,av,4 for Tick


Hints About the Introduction OF Scab and
Treatment for Tick.
Many sheep men believe that scab car
be produced by exposure and i'll treat
ment. 1t can only be produced by con-
tagioa, and the flock that has never had
the opportunity to contract it viii
never have it. 1t may be introduced by
buying diseased sheep, not observed to
be diseased, and exposure brings it to
light, and then it is supposed to be
caused by exposure. Scab is disease
due to a living mite in the skin of the
sheep, and cannot be produced by ex-
posture any more than lamb can be
produced by good care. 1t is also
thought that scab and other diseases
of like character can be cured by feed
ing the sheep sulphur. Internally given
it is a mild and good laxative, but its
real virtue for scab lies in its use as an
ointment.
Some sheep men believe that the sheen
tick can be destroyed by feeding sui.
phur. This is another error. Sheep
may be fed sulphur until they sicken Of
it, and still the tick will be as lively as
ever. There is no medicine that can
be given to sheep that will kill the ticks
and not at the same time kill the sheep.
Still others believe that grub in the
head is very fatal disease, and that the
grub bores through the skull into the
brain, causing death. The accumula-
ton of grubs in frontal recesses is what
causes the trouble, but one sheep raiser
says that in 25 years experience with
sheep he never lost one animal by grub
in the head. Plenty of grub in the
stomach and dark place for the sheep
to go to when the flies that lay the eggs
are about is his treatment for grub in
the head. An occasional grub will get
through, but it is not the occasional
one that disturbs the sheep. On the
contrary, it is the numbers of them.
Another common error is that sheep
should be shorn at a certain time of the
moon in order to start the growth of
the next fleece. The moon has no more
effect with the growth of wool than
have any other planets. When the time
comes for shearing and the shearer is
| ready and the weather favorable, one
may shear without consulting the al
manac. The same almanac is con.
suited, too, at docking and castrating
time, but different time OF the moon
is sought, perhaps. One moon fol
one thing and another moon for an.
/ other thing. Occasionally you will find
a sheep man man who will tell you that
sheep do not need water. They need
| water and plenty of it, and it should be
! pure well water rather than stagnant
/ branch or pond water. It is in the
latter that Turk dangers of which the
| shepherd very often scarcely dreams
| Internal parasites are very often pro
duced in this way, and this is especially
| true of the fuke.-Dakota Field anG

WORKERS IN THE HIVE.
Description and History of the Bee Thsa

Description and History of the Bee Thsa
Makes the Honey.
Prof. a. J. Cook, in Rural Californian:
We have now described the queen bee,
the most important member of the bee
community, as she lays all the eggs, and
so is necessary to preserve the popuia-
ton and life of colocy. The drone has
also been considered, and, as we have
seen, has no use except the provocative
function; hence is wanting in the hive
except when the bees are looking for
ward, because of over-Population in the
colony, to swarming. The worker bee
is shorter than either the drone or
queen, much shorter than the queen
and much smaller than the drone. The
worker bee is really an undeveioped
female. She has documentary ovaries,
and occasionally a worker is seen that
can lay a few eggs. Such bees are
known as fertile workers." and, as
they never mate. the eggs are, of course,
not formulated and only produce males
hence such bees are worse than
worthless. The wings of the workers
reach to the tip of the body. On the
outer side of the hind pair of legs are

CuIt,vation in wet weather.

It has long been known that beans
will rust if they are cultivated while
their leaves are wet SO that soil viii
stick to them. Many farmers now be,
heve that the leaves of the potato, espe-
cialIy in the late stages of their growth,
are equally liable to be injured by Guilt
walton when wet. 1t is a good plan to
let the cultivator lie idle in a rainy
time anyway. Weeds are killed better
while the soil is dry, while if cultivated
during rainy spell they are only trans
planted and made harder to kill than
ever.

The Little Old Shoe.

It is only a tiny shoe
That she touches with tender care
a cunning little bit of thing
That a baby used to wear;
And she gently raises it to her lips,
And lovingly holds 1t there.
It is worn, and faded, and old,
But it brings up the happy past;
She sadly signs as she thinks of the Joys
That were too sweet to last.
In fancy she sees a little child
AS it gambols upon the floor:
An elf-like creature with golden hair
Is cooling a baby song once more;
And 4 tear drops down ON the tiny shoe
That the beautiful dream-child wore.
" All. well!" she signs to herself,
" I'm cursed by the willful fates:
used to be able to wear this shoe,
But now 1 take number eights.''

NIilIaIs in the Gold Fields.

Sir John Miliais, who died recently,
was at one time a comradc and in
innate friend of the marquis of Sails
bury. 1t is not generally known that
the late president of the Royal acad-
envy and the present premier of the
British government once worked side
by side with shovel and pick, earning
their n.ead by the sweat of their brow.
In tile early Sos, when gold was discov-
cred in the district of Ballarat, Vic.
toria, many young men of good FAM
ily emigrated to Australia in the hope
of quickly accommodating wealth by
picking up nuggets of gold. Among
these aSsenturers were John Millais,
who then did not earn as much
with his brush as he did of
late yeals, and Lord Robert Cecil,
who, as younger son of the old
marquis of Salisbury, had but small
chances for the future, and even those
he had made worse by family disputes
The literary and newspaper work to
which he devoted himself did not pay
him, and the young aristocrat decided,
like many other young bloods, to try
his luck on the gold fields of Ballarat
with pick and shovel. Lord Cecil re.
NAMED there for eight months. and
that he was not favored by Dame
Fortune may be gathered from the
fact that never since then has he made
mention of his experience in Ballarat
The hut is still shown where the pres
ent marquis and premier made his
head quarters more than 30 years ago.
MilIais remained in the gold fields for
almost year, but very little is known
about his success there.-St. Louis Re
