filed with joy at finding her mother. The
rest of the happening is best told in the
mothers own words. She said:
"On the 28th of Sept, 1896, while in the
bloom of health, Beatrice was suddenly and
severely afflicted with spinal meningitis
Strong and vigorous before, in five weeks
she became feeble and suffered from para
lytic stroke which twisted her head back to
the side and made it impossible for her to
move limb. Her speech, however, was not
affected. We called in our family doctor,
one of the most experienced and successful
practitioners in the city: He considered
the case a very grave one: Before long lit
tie Beatrice was compelled to wear: plaster

consulted, electric batteries were applied,
but no benefit was noticed until we tried

FACTS ABOUT FLOURINE.
1t Contains Very Little Protein and IL
Deficient in Bone-FOrminE
Constituents.

Prof; Snyder, of the Minnesota ex-
pertinent station, has recently made
chemical analysis of fourine, the by
product of the glucose mills that is now
being used as an adulterant of wheat
-four. His report, which appears in the
Northwestern Miller. is not in accord
with the claims which have been made
for this product, especially in the i'm
portant feature of nutritive value. An
alysis shows the fourine contains so lit
tie protein that man would have to eat
$50 pounds of it in order to get enough
protein to enable him to do days work.
1t is deficient in boneforming constitu-
ents and fat as we'll, and in fact contains
little of food value except starch. But
still worse, it contains sulphate of soda
and sulphuric acid enough to make it
Injurious to health. Is it any wonder that
European consumers of American flour
are regarding it with suspicion when
there is possibility of it containing such
a worthless-and worse than worthless
substance? Is it strange that Eu-
ropean governments, which represent
people who dare not waste penny even
for bread, are on the alert to protect
their people against such an imposition
as flour adulterated with fourine?
Some means should be found of prevent
ing the expectation of adulterated flour
to foreign markets, and also of prevent
ing it's sale to our own people as pure
wheat flour.-National Stockman. ~

SECRET OF SUCCESS.
1T Consists of Having Good Breeding
Go Hand in Hand with Equally
sr.~ Good Feeding. s,. T.

+ There could not be greater error than
to suppose that all that is necessary for
the young breeder to be successful is
10 buy the blood and the balance would
take care of itself. We might just as
we'll expect good crop of corn if we
plant an excellent variety in well-pre-
pared, rich soil and then not give it
any further attention, as to suppose
that our pigs will develop into fine hogs,
no matter how well bred, without the
proper food and attention. In fact, the
work of making the fine hog is only be-
gun at weaving time, so says James
Riley in American Swineherd. It is
very important to have the pig we'll
bred, as that is the foundation, and, like
building a house, it is important to
have good foundation. Then by using
good material and skill in architecture
we build a good, substantial house; so
with the pig. We want it we'll bred as
a foundation, then by the proper meth
cd of feeding we develop it into fine
hog. No young breeder will ever sue
coed in the business unless he makes
study of the proper method of feeding
pigs, as feed is the principal factor in
the Improvement of swine. It is we'll
known that by grading seed wheat and
seed corn and planting the largest and
best developed grains the grain will be
improved from year to year; so with
the pig. By feeding the pig well-ba]-
anced ration, a ration that will build up
all the different parts of the hog, espe-,
cially the valuable parasitic loin and
ham, the muscular" or lean. The pigs
thus fed till they arrive at the proper
age to breed will transmit their good
qualities to their offspring, and, like the
large grains of corn or wheat, the i'm
provement will 60 on from generation
to generation. Pigs should be fed a va
.riety Of feeds. The best feed for young
milk, fed sweet, or ground wheat, or
ground oats with the hulls sieved out.
Dat hulls are not good for pigs, but
there is nothing better than ground
oats with the hulls extracted, mixed
with sweet milk. This with a little
corn will make a good balanced ra-
ton; feed them regular and enough
to keep them rapidly growing. The pig
should never stop growing. Our best
improved pigs should gain at least one
pound per day, or it would not injure
them to make them gain 11s pounds per
day if fed muscle and bone-prod ucing
food.

HINTS FOR BEGINNERS.
How to Make the Dairy Business
Something of u Success Right
from the Start.

To those who are about starting a
dairy I should advise buying the best
natives and grades obtainable and buy
them by test and open up n account
with each cow as soon as purchased.
You can afford to pay more for COW
that will make 300 pounds Of butter
than you can for one making 200
pounds; In fact, under ordinary con-
ditions the former will make enough
butter to give profit on her keep and
the latter will require more expended
on her than she gives in return. To
all who are interested in the dairy at
all, whether it be few or many COWS,
the only way to improve your herd and
be reasonably sure that you. will get
what you are after is to select care
fully, weed out, and breed and raise
herd. This can be done by using good
male, from well-known milk and butter
strains, upon your best cows, and rails
ing females. This is the place TO in
vest your money in high-bred pedigreed
stock. Never on any account breed
from a cross-bred or scrub bull. Dairy
men cannot expect to find whaS they
want on the market or get the best
cows by purchasing them, for it is ex-
ceptional for man to sell good COW,
and the more advanced community be-
comes in dairying. keeping records and
making tests of their cows, the harder
it will be to secure good cow by pur-
chase.-Rural World. III

Remove the Duc4klinEs.

ia Matching ducks under hens, It is
hest to remove them from the nest the
moment they are dry, as they are more
or less restless, and the hen IS very apt
to tread upon them. Hens make good
tincubators for duck eggs, but very poor
mothers. The duckling is too weak in
the legs to keep up with the activity of
the mother hen. There is more '1'e. labor fl'11
attached to duck raising than to any
other branch Of poultry culture, but
the profits are better, when the bust
ness IS once understood. "A Few. Hens ms

TIE FRlGATE PELICAN.
II Is n Small Bird With an Enormous
Stretch of Wing,

The frigatc pelican, or man-of-war bird,
is usually found between the tropics. IL
though when stripped of its feathers it is
hardly larger than u pigeon, yet no man
can touch mt the same time the tips of its
extended wings. The long wing bones
are exceedingly light, and the whole APP
paratus of air cells is extremely developed,
so that its real weight is very tri1iing 1t
flies at great height above the water,
and from that elevation pounccs down on
fish, especially prcf@rring the poor, persc-
cutcd flying fish for its prey.
According to some authors, the name of
man-oG-war bird was given to it because
It's appearance was said to fOrctCll the
coming Of ship; probably because the
frigatc pelican and real fri2atcs are equal
ly avCrsc to storms, and both like to come
into harhor if the weather threatens. Tn
der the throat of the frigatc pelican is
large pouch, of Il deep red color, which
can be distOndCd with air at the pleasure
of the bird. The pouch is larger and OF :.
more brilliant red i'll the male than in his
ConSOrt, and the general plumaEe OF tho
female is not SO bright us that of themalc.
Although its SwiftnCss of wing and
general activity enable it to snatch Il fish
from the surface of the water or to pounce
upon the flying fish before it can again
seek the protection of its native element,
yet it too often uses its powers i'll robhing
other birds Of their lawful prey. 1t is en-
ablCd, in some mysterious way, to find its
way home by night, even though it may
be 400 or 500 miles from land. The length
of the male bird is three feet and the eX-
panse of wing eight feet.

POKER PLAYED ~ a DREAM.
S1le Player Uncertain If Fate Slipped
Il CGt: or IL lie IL IL Chump.

Brown always sworc he WASH t super
gtitious, said Browns friend, but I've
seen him twist his second finger around
his first when he met Il cross eyed nan,

against going under ladder. The fact
that lie occasionally gets up and circles
around his chair three times while play
ing poker may NOT prove anything, but
any man who will lay down a good hand
Oh account of IA dream Is open to suspicion,
and that : what Brown did.
1T seems that Brown dreamed one
night of having tilt with Smith. Smith
opened jack pot, and Brown just Ripped
him once for luck. II" held the eight, nine,
ten and jack OF clubs, so he had chances
Of filing either u straight or Il flush.
Smith drew one carCl-in the lream-and
Brown of course did likewise. lie pulled
the queen of clubs. Smith seemed to have
b2ttcrcd TOO, and they had a nice little
tilt. When Smith called, he showed an
ACC full 20 kings. ard Brown woke up just
as he was raking in the pile.
"Wcll, it happened that few evenings
after this Brown and Smith were in the
same game and after awhile Brown
opened pot with aces and kings. The
~ast dropped out all but Smith, and he
raised the limit. Brown made good, and
each man drew card. Brown got IL third
ace. and Smith seemed to ne pretty well
satisfied with tho draw Then Brown re-
mcmbcled his dream. He held exactly the
hand that Smith had held i'll the dream,
and he broke out in cold prrspiration.
Dreams go by contrarics, he thought
to himself, and it's cinch that Smith
has got my straight flush. Then he bet Il
white chip, and Smith came back at him
with "a limit raise, and the limit was pretty

himself. There's your dream hard, he

An honest exchange Of compliments is
always an agreeable thing. A New Eng
land minister recently married had desired
one of his neighbors to secure horse to
be driven in the new phaeton which the
Clergyman had bought with view to his
brides pleasure.
The minister's wife made her first APP
pcarance at church on the Sunday after
the wedding and was approved by the en-
tire congregation for her sweet face and
simple manner.
The next afternoon the minister took
his bride to drive, and, passing his neigh
Dor on the road, he stopped to say pleas
antly:
you bought us a very good horse, and
we thank you for that, Mr.. Wilson"
You re welcome, " said the parishioner,

cellent minister's wife, sir, which is about
MS difficult. The whole parish thanks you
for that. Youth Companion.
