THE REST CURE.

This is often the best cure. But many
people cannot afford to rest indefinitely
Worse still, the very knowledge that they
cannot. seriously interfcres with the best use
of the rest they have. Too often going to the
doctor means that the patient shall stop short,
while cares aud duties and expenses continue.
Many, therefore. hesitate and delay.

THR cow AND HER ION

This was the subject of an address by
John Gould, delivered before the Salem
County IN. j Farmers Institute the
other day, in the course of which he
said:
The COW is the only animal in Ohio
that is enhanced in value, while we
notice a depreciation in the value OF
other animals. We cannot understand,
nor will man ever know, how milk is
generated, and probably it's a good
thing for the COW, for if we did some
designer would endeavor to cheat the
COW of her business by securing some
patent right.
"Never buy a COW that you don't
like. The possibilities r born with
the COW, and it is mans privilege to
develop what nature has done for the
animal. Let us breed just what we
want, and we will find that individual
merit will tell in every instance. The
care of the cow is something that large
ly depends upon making the dairy pay.
1--WE must make 365 days a summer
for the COW. How we can do this is to
keep the animal from struggling with
nature. An equipped barn with the
modern improvements is necest airy.
Economy should be practiced, and |
find that by tying my herd up in the
barn on December and not releasing
them from the barn until Easter Sun
day. 1 get from 5000 to 5000 pounds
of milk per COW each year, and my
COWS all live and thrive. Individual
ism among COWS is most marked and
crops out of the animal in the matter
of the cow'sfeeding and actions. Never
force them to drink or eat, because the
animal knows just when she wants
food and will not refuse to take it."

UsRs OF DEAD R

The leg bones are very hard and
white and are used for handles of pocket
and table cutlery.
The tail and name are especially
valuable and from these are made the
hair cloth of commerce.
The ribs and head are burned to
make bone black, after they have been
treated for the glue that is in them.
The phosphate of lime, acted upon
by sulphuric acid and calcined with
carbon, produces phosphorus for lucifer
matches.
The short hair taken from the hide
is used to stUf cushions and horse col
lars, thus the dead are made to minis
ter to the comfort of the living.
The hide furnishes a waterproof
leather known to the trade as cordovan,
and is used for the manufacture of
high class hunting and wading boots.
There is an animal oil yield in the
cooking process which is a deadly
poison, and enters into the composition
of many insecticides and vermifuges.
In the calcining of horses bones the
vapors arising are condensed and form
the chief source of carbonate of am
monia, which constitutes the base of
nearly all ammoniacal salts.
The hoof of the animal is removed
and after being boiled to extract the
oil from them the horny substance is
shipped to the manufacturers of combs
and what are known as Mikado goods.
The bones to make glue are dissolved
in muriatic acid, which takes the phos
plate of lime away, the soft element
retaining the shape of the bone is dis.
solved in boiling water, cast into
squares and dried on nets.

ing for more knapweed, which he
might easily have found by flying a
few yards further. Instead, however,
he returned to the inviting thistle head,
and this time gave himself up with
perfect abandon to it's luscious delights,
Sitting the voice of conscience which
on his first visit he had go instantly
obeyed.
These little humble bees repay the
time spent on watching their smell,
busy lives. On another occasion, when
camping for the day in a fir wood, my
sister became aware of two of these
soft little creatures buzzing round and
round the skirt of her dress in such a
determined spirited way that we felt
they meant business and not mischief
Ny sister drew her skirt away, when
the bees instantly made for a tiny hole
in the bank, evidently their home
door. Their gentle, persistent manner
of making their meaning known to us
was most striking.

BEASTS AS MIND-RRADRRs.

do you think animals communicate
togetherG" was asked of the Hagenbeck
lion tanner.
They put their heads close together
and seem to have q sort of sign Ian
guage. They express such simple
thoughts as I'm tired Get out OF the
way Stand back Are you wellH'
quite plainly, to my observation,
among each other.
THE language of animals seems
quite plain to me-" continued the
famous lion-tamer, earnestly. MEN
have a considerable ability to com
municate by facial expression and ges
ture, but school themselves to express
these natural expressions of rage, fear
or friendship, and say by oral language
what their wisdom dictates, often quite
the opposite of what they feel.
animals, on the other hand, are
too simple to make believe, and this
gift, which men misuse, is their regular
mode of communication. Notice how
quickly a dog scents rage or sorrow IN
his masters face. We can't see the ex-
preston of a lions face except of rage,
but his companions can.
II have also thought that animals
have the gift of thought reading instead
of power to speak. Did you ever see
one animal fail to understand another
l never saw such an instance. The
range of their thoughts is limited. ]
do not think they can read mems
thoughts, except very imperfectly, be
cause they are so extensive and com.
pick and beyond their comprehension.
1 am inclined to think that what we
call mind reading is mere survival
here and there of the lost sixth sense
which was probably common to prim.
tive man, and which animals possess
to this day"

SLEEPING PLACES FOR HOGS.

The time is at hand when frequent
changes of weather will make it diff
cult for some hogs to find a dry meet to
sleep in. Do not forget that a hog,
when the means are within his reach,
will carry enough dry material to-
gether and often a considerable dis
lance, rather than sleep in a cold or
wet bed and this certainly should set
one to thinking that there is something
wrong when we fail to make that pro
vision for the hog. Hogs will often
scrape together a few corn husks and
stalks that may be at hand and hud die
closely together for the night. Next
morning they leave this closely packed
condition oVerheated where they have
come in close contact with their mates,
and chilled on the other side, often
covered with white frost. Congestion
of the air passages is thus set at work,
and while under the usual exercise and
sunshine the circulation is reasonably
well distributed throughout the body,
the bronchial tubes or lung tissues
proper may be far from a healthy con
dition, though they get relief during
the day. Often these conditions have
been present all the season while OF
pasture, and some pigs possibly die
others show no signs Of thrift and d,

HAVE BEES C~oNsCIENCR7

This question was raised in my mind,
and answered in the affirmative, by
the following incident which I observed
in the course of a country ramble on
the coast of Devon, says the London
Spectator. There were several small
humble bees steady at work among
the many gay colored blossoms which
form a perfect flower bed on either side
of a cliff walk on that lovely promon-
tory opposite the little fishing town of
Salcombe. Each bee kept to his own
particular flower, as $50 Sir John Lub-
book tells ue) all well conducted bees
should do. But one became puzzled by
the likeness in color between black
knapweed and purple thistles. His
flower for this outing was evidently
the knapweed, and when he had ex
hausted all it's blossoms in the imme
date neighborhood he was beguiled BY
similarity in color into trying a thistle
but, On alighting, he instantly discov
cred his mistake, and few about look

LIVE STOCK.
OATS AS HORSE FEED.

Horsemen generally have recognized
something in the oat grain for horse
feeding, taking it beyond the ranks of
other feeding materials "a stimulus,
perhaps, or it may be something which
gives a different or a better nerve
action. In 1916, Norton claimed to
have separated an albuminoid from the
oat grain, which he called avenine.
Samson of France announced in 1883
that he had discovered an alkaloid in
the oat that had a stimulating effect en-
the motor nerve of the horse. Whether
the chemist will ever find a distinct
stimulating principle in the oat grain
remains for the future, but certain it is
there seems to- be something of this
kind present. This has found expires
sion in the phrase, 1.-The oat grain turn
ing over in the horses stomach tickles
it's ribs" With many horses the driver
can tell when the feed has been changed
from any other grain to oats or the re
verse, by the spirit or mettle of the
animal. Samson found that crushing
or grinding the oats considerably
weakened the nervous influence of this
grain, and Storer concludes that air
probably works to the destruction of
avenine. This points in favor of feed
ing oats whole.

not respond to food given. Then one
begins to look about and ask what is
good for a cough. Here comes Mr..
Wiseacre, who says it's worms; Hogs
always cough when they have worms"
and many other causes are given, but
the true cause the knife would reveal
by showing diseased lungs, heart, liver
or spleen.
No one should deceive himself be-
cause he has successfully raised and
fed for one or two seasons a lot Of
swine on the go as-you please plan, for
disaster is sure to come sooner or later
if the hogs natural requirements are
not consulted and satisfied.

FOR THE SECOND TIME.
L. M. Landsborough Was Again
Acquitted Yesterday.

The trial of ex-Deputy County Clerk
L. M. Landsborough indicted on a
charge of having falsified the claim of
c. E. Fordenwaldt for fees as a juror,
was concluded in Department One of
the Superior Court yesterday, and the
jury, after being out but short time,
returned a verdict of not guilty.
This was the second charge of that
character on which Landsborough had
been tried, the result in the first case
being the same. There still remains
several charges of like character, but
the probability is that they will not
be prosecuted, though District Attor-
ney Ryan's position on that point has
not been learned
Mr.. Ryan prosecuted both cases with
all the energy of which he is capable,
and presented his proofs and argu-
ments with the utmost possible
strength. The defendant was ably rep
resented by Hiram w. Johnson F. S.
Sprague and Arthur M. Seymour. Mr..
Johnson's appeal to the jury was a very
eloquent and effective effort, and won
the young attorney many compliments.
