tuberculosis from Cattle.

There are probably now but few people
who do not believe that tuberculosis is
contagious, and very few who do believe
that the disease is inherited. A recent il
lustration of the theory of contagion is af-
forded by an instance.
1t is reported that in Kansas the board
of regents of the Kansas state agricultural
college at Manhattan have discovered that
the cattle, sheep and hogs kept on the col
lege farm are infected with tuberculosis.
The men who have been employed in the
stables are seriously i'll, and the man who
had direction of the cattle is not expected
to live, having been suffering with the
disease for several months. Mrs. G.
Georgson, wife of one of the professors,
has also been ill for several weeks, and it
is reported that she became infected by u.s.
ing milk from the diseased cows. Paul
Wilcox, an assistant, is also suffering with
tuberculosis and his life is despaired Of
He contracted the disease while handling
the cattle.

How He Won Her.
Once there was a man and a woman.
The woman had much money.

once there was man and woman.
The woman had much money.
The mans assets consis 4 wholly of
liabilities, and they we : numerous
and large.
The man said: II will marry the
woman" And he caused a rumor to
that effect to float on the breezes, say
ing to himself: II am out nothing if
1t happens not to happen, and the ru-
NOR in itself may serve as a credit
gthening act" and he was correct
In his diagnosis.
The man brought to the woman cost
ly presents purchased on credit, and he
told her many things which i'll polite
society are called fairy tales, but she
pointedly told him that his plans wee
of no avail.
Then the man went to friend and
requested that the friend call on the
woman and say: THE man is only
seeking how much fun he can have
with you. To your face he's declares
you are beautiful and bright, but be-
hind your back and on the streets of
the city he asserts that you are like
unto mud fence and are dull of con-
versation." ,l,a,
In one hour and half the man sent
a note to the woman saying that he
had been suddenly called from the city,
and swearing that life would be cold
and blank without her while he was
away. But the friend had intimatel
to the woman that the man was about
to depart from the city for all time.
The woman Immediately, therefore,
began a suit for breach of promise and
the man compromised by marrying her,
and took the premium that fell at the
county fair for having a long head

All But One Thing.

The professor of mechanics at an
English college once gave lecture up
on the locomotive. and was particular
ly struck by the absorption of one ju-
venile listner. He spoke to the stu
dent after the lecture, and asked him,
well, l suppose you understand all
about the locomotive now?" "Yess,"
was the reply, "all but one thing"
"And what is that?" said the professor,
kindly 'I can't make out what makes
the locomotive move without horses"

Make Your Own cook Book.


A most valuable cook book, which no
printed volume can ever supersede, is
the individual work of it's owner. 1t
is composed of recipes, tested and true,
collected from various places, and con-
tanning directions which the owner I'M
derstands and rules that suit her in
diyidual taste This cook book may
be written on tinted and glazed writing
paper, leaving wide margins at the
sides. 1t is a good plan to arrange it
in sections, allowing one section for
soups. one for fish and crustacea, one
for meats and fowls, one for game and
one for salads and desserts. A section
might also be added for preserves, cam
dies and valuable miscellaneous re-
cipes, and the whole should be index
ed in another final section. 1t will be
found most convenient to have each of
these sections in individual covers, as
one can then be used without wear up
on the others These covers may be
made of white oilcloth, celluloid OR
some glazed material, and may be dec
grated if the owner pleases.

The Combs of Fowls.

1t is by closely watching the combs Of
fowls that the experienced poulterer
can decide which are about to go into
the moulting period and which there
fore will require extra care and feed.
It is a decided advantage to have the
fowls begin moulting thus early, for
such hens will be full feathered in fall
and be good fall and winter layers.
Such a hen has also begun laying early,
SO at both ends of the season she fur
nishes eggs that bring the highest
price. The hens that are laying most
profusely in July, especially those more
than years old, will moult late in the
fall, and not begin laying again until
eggs are extra cheap in the spring.

Keeping Out Flies.

AS flies are very fruitful conveyers
of disease try very hard to keep them
out of the house. Cover all windows
and doors with netting. If you cannot
afford frames tack the netting over the
windows outside. This is a very good
way. 1t allows one to lower the win
dow from the top as we'll as to lift il
from the bottom, making better venti-
lation. If door frames are out of the
question, tack netting very full to the
top of the door castings. In the broad
hem at the bottom sew sufficient good
sized pebbles to give weight, that the
netting may fall quickly in place. IT
by chance the children hold the doors
open for moment, allowing flies to
enter, place a little sticky fly paper
here and there, or when you darken
the room leave crack of sunshine at
any open window or door; the flies Will
in moment follow the light and may
then be easily brushed out of the room.

Grow Medicinal Plants.

Many medicinal plants can be grown
with profit, as the demand for some
kinds is increasing. Absinthe (worm-
wood can be raised as far north as
New England, and this country imports
it from Europe. Saffron, which sells
for So per pound, may be grown in near
ly all sections. Peppermint and spear
mint find ready sale, and sage, which is
well-known to every farmer, is import
ed, frequently selling at $3.50 per ton.
Then there are hoarhound, boneset,
mandrake, blood root, pennyroyal, ETC.,
which are regarded as weeds in some
localities, all Of which are largely used
and have q value in market.

Farm Notes.

Rough broken lands are well adapted
to sheep pasturing.
Always select the largest and most
growthy sows for breeders.
Unless a COW is good breeder she
should not be kept on the farm.
To meet low prices lessen the cost Of
production as much as possible.
Mixed farming and stock raising is
best adapted to the average farmer.
It is poor economy to stack the hay
or straw where the stock can run 10 it
all summer.
Lights in the rear of the horses is
best for the eyes of the animals when
in the stables.
A good dairy COW will turn the extra
feed into milk, while the poor one will
convert it into fat.
A healthy, well-dcYeloped animal,
male or female, may be expected to
produce growthy stock.
The largest profits and quickest re.
turns come from keeping stock in a
marketable condition at all times.
To secure the best results from green
manuring. turn the growth under
when the plants are in full bloom.
Given the run Of good pasture sup
plying pure water and keeping the
quarters clean, are good preyentiyes
of hog cholera.
With improved machinery hay can
be harvested and moved at COM
paratiyely low cost, and it makes
good winter feed.
Cows tat are giving milk may be
greatly Injured by being driven rapid
