Salmon Migration,

The young salmon which is born in
mountain stream is soon impelled by
something in its nature to journey
downward, even for many hundred
miles, until it reaches the unknown
ocean, where it would discover, if it
had faculties for anything SO subjective
as discovery, that while it was born in
a little brook it was made for life III the
great ocean. 1t has brought from its
mountain home natural aptitude for
eluding all the strange enemies and for
avoiding all the novel dangers which it
meets in this new world, and it leads
an active, predatory life, fercely pur-
suing and destroying it's natural but
hitherto unknown prey, for growing
rapidly and quickly acquiring all the
characteristics ofathe adult salmon and
storing up the intense nervous energy
and the muscular strength which will
be needed for forcing its way up the
rapids in the mountain torrents, for
leaping waterfalls and fighting for it's
passage, where it long ago darted down
with the current. AS, sexual maturity
approaches some stimulus, which has
it's origin in the developing reproductive
organs impels it to leave the ocean,
and, entering the mouth of river, to
journey upward, often 1000 miles or
more, to its sources in the mountains.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Thoroughly cultivate all newly planted
trees
In pruning the grapes usually plenty OF
good cuttings can be secured.
Now is good time to apply the poultry
manure around the straw berry plants
Plant the orchard on we'll drained soil,
rich enough to produce good farm crops.
Try new varieties on small scale until
their yalne is more fully determined in
your locality.
Do not crowd in the orchard or garden.
Trees and plants need plenty of air, sun
and room to do best.
The grapevines should be trimmed now.
If the work is deferred until spring. the
vines will bleed badly.
Do not prune the peach until after thu
danger of freezing is over in the spring,
and then prune severely.
Many young apple trees are ruined by
allowing too many branches to start out.
Prune when the tree is set out.
In selecting trees for windbreak it is
quite an item to have them Of close
growing habit and as nearly perpetual
foliage as possible
Old orchards may be renovated by thor
ough cultivation, cleaning up, whitewash-
ing and doing such other work as Is neces-
sary to get the soil in good condition.
If the straw berries have not been mulch
ed before, it Is not too late to do it yet be-
fore the thawing and freezing weather OF
spring sets in. Do not cover the crowns
of the plants too deep. st. Louis Republic.

Dairy and Creamery.

The most valuable cows are apt to be
those that have been raised and kept on
their home place.
Dairy COWS should have grain feed
nine or ten months in the year.
The Danes generally use commercial
starters to ripen cream.
No COW is worth Eer keep unless she
makes $50 pounds OF butter year at
the least.
The patrons of creameries in Dickin-
son county, Kan, are agitating for the
appointment Of county milk tester.
There has been so wide difference in
the amounts paid them for the butter
fat in their milk that they want to have
the testing put into the hands of one
man who will travel the county over
and do the work at the various cream
cries. This is an excellent idea, if the
salary of the official tester can be salts
factorily arranged for 1t would hardly
be fair to tax the whole county for that.
The patrons Of all the creanleries might
club together and each contribute a
given sum to pay the tester. Then they
could be sure that the difference in but
ter fat shown to exist between the COWS
of one herd and its next neighbor repre-
sented actual difference in the COWS
themselves.

Scratches.

Scratches are very common in horses
during the winter and spring Hurses
with a coarse, Emphatic constitution
have natural tendency or predisposi-
tion to the disease. The more common
exciting causes are close, damp or filthy
stables, standing or working in the ma
nure or filth of the stable or yard, driv-
ing in the mud, especially when freez-
ing, and then allowing the mud to re-
main on the legs after the horse has
gone to the stable; standing in cold
drafts of air, washing the legs with
caustic soaps or other irritants and over
feeding ON grain or feeding unwhole-
some fodder of any kind, which tends
to derange the urinary system. In treat
ment the first step is to avoid as far as
possible the causes that develop or ag-
gravate the disease. Whenever the horse
is used in the wet or mud the legs
should be rubbed dry as soon as placed
in the stable. Do not wash the legs
when dry, but clean them by brushing
or dry rubbing. In fact, avoid wetting
them whenever possible. Daily exercise
is very desirable.
IF the horse is in good condition, give
an ounce each best aloes and ginger in
ball or drench to open the bowels. Fol
low with laxative diet, to consist
largely of bran mashes, scalded oats,
boiled faxseed or oilmeal or green food
sufficient to keep the bowels moving
freely. Repeat the dose of aloes in a
week if not freely purged by the first
If the horse is weak or debilitated, the
aloes should be omitted and the bowels
controlled by laxative but nutritious
diet Pint doses of raw linseed oil might
be given to advantage. In obstinate
cases of this kind one of the best reme-
dies is the iodide of potassium. The
iodide should be given in dram doses in
the feed or drinking water twice daily
and continued for ten days to two weeks
then omit for week and repeat as be-
fore if necessary Give the horse a pinch
of salt daily, or preferably keep salt be-
fore the horse in small box or a COM
partment of the feed trough, where he
can eat it at his pleasure. Locally the
benzoated oxide of zinc ointment is one
of the best applications for the cracked
heels. First dry the legs if wet, and
then rub the ointment well in night and
morning, breaking off and removing the
crusts with the hand as fast as softened
with the ointment For the ordinary
mild or chrcnic cases of scratches a lax
alive diet followed by extra care Of the
legs and the use of the ointment is the
only treatment required. Exchange.

KITTIEs IN A JuNKsHoP.

ment on new machine. The company
allows S. on an old machine, and some
times the agent or canvasser allows Sc
more out of his commission on the sale.
The public imagines that in some
way these old machines are valuable tc
the company, but, in truth, they are OF
use only as arguments in forcing sale.
In the standard makes of machines there
is supposed to be absolutely no cut in
prices, and the only way that a seeming
reduction can be made is by taking in
an old machine and allowing for it.
The company does this not for the sake
of getting the machine, but for the sake
OF making trade. Once the old timer
is in their possession it is broken up and
sold to junk dealer.
The companies know, of course, that
large number of the families who
turn in old machines said to have beer
bought by them before the flood really

cost only 81. At this rate the buyer gets
an allowance Of $40, which. deducting
the 81, leaves net SO. If there does hap.
pen to be an old one in the possession Of
the family, the whole $40 is realized. -

A fact often os erloQked. or not always

for that reason any distress, disease OF any

back, bladder or urinary passage is often
by mistake, attributed to female weakness

Midnight I4armonies.

The quaint old English church poet
George Herbert was walking to Sails
bury one evening to join musical par
ty when he met poor man with a
poorer horse that had fallen under his
load. They were both in distress, and
Mr. Herbert pulled off his coat and
helped the man to unload his horse. He
then gave him some money and left
him. At his arriving at Salisbury his
friends wondered at his coming into
their company SO soiled and discom-
posed. He explained the cause, and
when one remarked that he had dis
paraged himself by SO dirty an employ
ment he answered that the Thought of
what he had done would prove music to
him at midnight and that the omission
of it would have upbraided and made
discord in his conscience. For if / am
bound to pray for all that be in distress
SO far as it is in my power am to prac-
tice what / pray for, and, let me tell
You, would not willingly pass one
day of my life without comforting sad
soul or showing mercy, and | bless God
for this occasion. These are the places
in which to attune ones conscience to
midnight music. !"

make plain-namely, the extravaganza
involved in using beef cow as dairy
animal
In order TO be the best kind of dairy
animal, it was found that COW must
not only be spare bodied, but she must
also be deep through the middle, as deep,
in fact, proportionally, as the beef COW.
This depth of middle body gives large

simulate food and turn 1t into butter

tion. This was Shorthorn of the dairy

will be seen that notwithstanding her
dairy style she still gave less butter fat

of this prolific experiment. We COM

feed in winter. It will be noticed in the
table that the cow which produced a

was full blood Guernsey, and the price
she charged was II. 4 cents This bears
out the claim made for Guernseys that
they give the best returns on the least
amount of food of any breed For this
