Riches.

Will Power as a Means of WinninR
Riches.
According to theosophy, said DR.. A.
W. Coryn, the human will was definite
force, and when strongly moved by
desire it was able to accomplish visi-
bic results, although no apparent action
had been taken. The desires of men
were constantly affecting their out
ward circumstances, and even if, as
in the case of man wishing for wealth,
no immediate result is seen, the ulti-
mate effect will be that in another earth
life he would be born amid wealthy sur
roundings. 1t always happened, how
ever, that when the coveted boon was
obtained some unwe]come and I'M
loOked-fOr circumstance accompanied
it. and so the wise man avoids definite
wishes about his future. recognizing his
ignorance of what is really best for him,
and patiently accepting the destiny
melted out to him by the just law.
George Muller, of Bristol, supports a
large institution for orphans by prayer.
The venerable founder relates his wish
for a definite sum of money to meet a
pressing engagement. Thoughts were
things, and once the idea, strongly vi
talized by his will, passed out into the

y great deal of inquiry has been made
'h'S season for some means by which
families with perhaps only two OF

might for any reason choose to do so.
Families want cheese as well as butter.

Artificial Snow Statues.

The chief difficulty with snow statues,
as the children in Haw thorne's beauti-
full story discovered, is their swift dis
solution, but a French sculptor, Pietre
Roche. has invented an ingenious way
of making them permanent. He no.
ticed that in ice-making machines the
pipes containing the liquefied gases
were covered with snow, and applied
the same principle to copper statues
made hollow and filled with freezing
fluid. The moisture from the atmos-
phere forms on the metal in few mo-
ments as coating of snow, and is pre-
vented from thawing by the freezing
mixture. Many exquisite effects can be
obtained in this way, and for the decora-
ton of bathrooms on a midsummer
night the snow statuary must be ideal.

ESSENTIAL TO HEALTH.
How to Overcome the Tendency 0t
Hogs to DiNeMke.


The Swine Breeders journal, in dis
cussing the tendency of hogs to disease.
says that there arc three things that he
experience of the past two years has
emphatically impressed upon the swine
man: G) The absolute necessity Of
caution in changing from one diet to
another; (2) the absolute necessity Of
using nothing but the purest water as
drinking water for the swine: and (3)
the absolute necessity of protecting
swine from the injurious effects of dust
The first necessity has been generally
recognized. if not acted upon. by the
progressive swine breeder for some
time. The second necessity the ravages
of the late plague have brought home
to the minds of breeders in way that
will not soon be forgotten. But the
third necessity is not so generally recog-
nized as the other two, and yet it is as
requisite condition of good health as
either of the others. Swine should not
be allowed to wallow in dusty pens,
fence corners or straw stacks. When
ever they sneeZe it should be taken Us
evidence that something is wrong. LII
swine breeding, clean sleeping places
are an indiSputable necessity.

PREPARING RATlONS.
Cooking Food for Stock Is Not a Prof.
liable Practice.

We have tried several plans of pre-
pairing feed for stock and have come to
the conclusion that it is only in excep-
tional cases that it can be considered
advisable to cook the food. Under what
may be considered average conditions,
the additional gain secured with the
stock will not pay a fair profit for the
extra work required to cook.
With the dairy COWS, growing
calves and pigs. it pays to grind the
fced-corn. wheat or oats. as the kind
of grain being fed may be. With sheaf
oats, no matter what kind of stock they
are fed to, we like to run them
through a good cutting-box, and
then add small quantity of wheat
bran, and feed in this way. BY this
plan there is little or no waste in
feeding and very complete ration is
made up. But with the average teams
kept on the place, the growing beef
cattle and the thrifty, vigorous sheep,
there is no particular advantage in
grinding the grain. Even with the
classes of stock named..in a. majority

as the expense and work of hauling to
mill and back. with the cost of
grinding. will lessen very materially
the possible profit. Where any consid-
cradle number of stock is kept mill
can, in majority of cases. be made
TO pay. We are inclined to think that
more or less of this work of advocating
cooked food. through the press, is from
parties interested in selling some kind
of cooking apparatus
There is one good advantage in grind
ing grain and in cutting roughness,
that is. better opportunity is afforded
OF making up complete rations.-Ohio

Cows Require Rich Food.

A COW cannot 60 from day to day,
putting a pound or more of casein in
her milk unless she has the necessary
protein in her daily feed, over and
above what is required for mainten-
ance, to make this casein. She cannot
rut fat in her milk in paying guam
titles unless the material for it is in the
feed she consumes. Hence the great
Importance of feeding COW in such a
manner as will enable her to do her
best and at the lowest cost. This is ac-
complished as rule by feeding prop
ecly balanced rations, due regard be-

her head to a ring in front, put the pole
through the rope loop, crowd her over
against the partition, and put The rear
end of pole in one of the auger holes in
the plank. Next pass rope around
left leg above the gambrel, bring it up
in front of right leg, draw tight and
fasten to a ring in rear of stall. The
rope prevents kicking, keeps the COW at
hoist, and pole keeps her from swing
ing round or falling down. After a few
times it is hardly ever necessary to
use the ropes. as the pole put pretty
low down will be sufficient to keep her
quiet. Besides the pole, the illustration
portrays the plan of my milking stable.
There are two shelves, the upper about
five feet from the floor mot shown)
and running clear across the stable. In
this I keep sponge and cloths to wash
and wipe the cows udder, dish of salt,
milking stools. etc. The lower shelf,
about two feet from the floor and reach
ing about two-thirds across, is for
empty pals. milk, etc. Shovel and fork
are kept in the rack at end of this shelf.
