New York. DR.. Foote is a we'll recognized

facts and figures to show that 80 per cent
of the inmates of our insane asylums

married at the proper time.
Dr. Foote thinks that a law should be
passed making it compulsory for all young
people to marry between the ages Of 10 and
rs, although in special cases he should ex-
tend the limit to 30 years of age
Speaking of his views on the desirability
of every young man being compelled to

No dairyman should breed his cows

Ing to pronounced scrub. We have
known a Shorthorn bull kept in a
neighborhood where milk dairies were
plentiful and to receive the patronage
OF most, If not all, OF the milkmen,
notwithstanding the fact that there
was first-class Jersey bull in the i'm
mediate vicinity. The cause for that
was that the services of the Jersey
Dull were two or three dollars higher
than those Of the Shorthorn bull. Yet
the men that were patronizing the
Shorthorn bull expected to get some
thing wonderful in the way of mixers.
Some of them were quite surprised to

Kept pace with the expectations that

by their mothers. They were good for
'beefers," it is true, and the butchers
often cast longing eyes at them, but
as mixers they were failures. Yet
that fact did not seem to impress the
da1rymen to any great extent. They
seemed to think that getting good
mixer was matter of chance anyway.
There is some difference between the
fees charged for the services of the
right kind of bull and the services of
the wrong kind of bull, but the diff
ference in fees in no wise keeps pace
with the difference in the value of the
product as mixers. The scrub bull is
good thing to ignore, and next to
him the bull of beef breed, when it
comes to a question of raising dairy
COWS. Every farmer should be will
Ing to pay good price for the serv-
ices of good bull, for only in that

money in an animal of that charac-
ter. The man that purchases bull
for neighborhood use must charge a
good price, for he knows that he has
got to get back his whole purchase
price plus fair profit for the use of
the money and for labor, in very
few years. He also takes the risk Of
accidents and diseases. Dairymen
should encourage the keeping of first
class bulls by giving a liberal fee for
their services.

A Sleeps Ideas.

When sheep are driven through a
narrow gate, very common perform
ance is for one sheep to give leap as
if over an obstacle or across a ditch.
If one gives leap all the others to
the rear of it, on reaching the same
spot, follow its example. Wild sheep
always appoint sentinels and leaders,
and adopt their ways of progression
in the most implicit manner. The
origin of the jumping habit of flock
when one only gives the example is
very ingeniously explained in DR..
Louis Robinson's work, entitled, wild
Traits in Tame Animals" when
sheep in a wild state" he remarks,
"dash off together among broken
ground, or on crowding along some
perilous ledge on the mountain side
their usual habitat-it would be quite
useless for those in the middle of the
band to endeavor to see obstacles at
their feet. Hence each animal keeps
an eye on the leader, or those imme-
diately in front and initiates his move
ments. If the leader thinks a three
foot jump is necessary to clear some
dangerous spot every sheep in the pro-
cession will take three-foot jump: if
he jumps higher, they will jump high
er, and so on. They carry out this imi-
tated action with most extraordi-
nary precision, even when it has to be
transmitted through a long chain of
different individuals"

Fish for tho Pond.

A year ago my boy caught, in
little river mile away, five little cat
fish with hook. Being too small for
the frying-pan he put them in the
pond. They began at once to replen-
ish and multiply. This season the
family has caught several messes OF
catfish, some Of which weighed fully
pound. So we see how rapidly catfish
grow. They will reach a pound In
weight in one year. For my part l
would much rather have my pond
stocked with catfish than with carp.
Carp are hard to catch with hook
and are much more bony than catfish,
and then, do not regard them as any
thing near SO hardy. 1t makes no diff
ference with catfish whether there is
a current or not. They are at home
with either. found sucker in the

have narrow and long pond than a
short and broad pond. have planted
calamus, cat-tails, white-hellebore,
skunK-cabbage, and lilies. The more
weeds and the like along the margin,
the better. They prevent the wash
from filling up the basin. Then, they
are pleasant to look at, adding diver
sity and beauty. Then they afford
spawning places for the fish, and
homes for all sorts of aquatic insects.
These become numerous and afford

also bad for it to have cattle and hogs
run to it at their pleasure. The pond
fence can be so built that they can
go to the water and drink, but not
tramp its margin. When a pond is
built and it is we'll stocked with fish,

Our Dried Fruits in Germany.


The manufacturers of dried fruits in
the United States have found a good
market for their products in some Of
the European countries, notably Ger
many. This trade should be fostered
and built up till it is able to take all
of our surplus in heavy fruit years as
well as in years when we have lin
tied supply. But an obstacle appears
in the custom of many of our shippers
using sulphurous acid for the improve
ment of the appearance of their fruits.
Already the German authorities have
taken the matter up and are doing
what they can to stop the further i'm
portation of fruit so treated.
Some of the California papers are
saying that the sulphuring is a good
thing, at least thing that does not
make the fruit detrimental to the
health, and they claim that some ply
sicians have said so. We are in very
grave doubt on that point. We have
many kinds of preservatives in use,
and it is probable that all of them are
more or less harmful. Yet we know
that it is possible to get a medical
opinion in favor of anything that
brings a good price on the market. Let
us cite the case of Preservaline. Med
ical investigations have decided that
it is harmful to the health, especially
to the health of little children and
invalids. Nevertheless the makers and
defenders of Preservaline declare that
they have medical opinions to the ef-
feet that it does not act injuriously.
We cannot help feeling that it is not
right to put any powerful chemical
into foods that are to be consumed
by all classes Of people, the weak as
well as the strong. We have a great
deal Of sympathy with the foreign ma
tions that have very strict anti-adul-
teration laws, and we can but wish
that our own laws against adultera-
ton were stronger.
We desire the foreign market for our
dried fruits, and we should therefore
see to it that only pure articles are
sent across the water. The United
States government should take up the
matter, but it is doubtful if it will do
so without an initial move being made
by the shippers of fruit or other par
les directly interested.

Stimulating Honesty.

The way to avoid leading farmers
into temptation in the matter of wafer
ing milk is to use the Babcock test in
buying milk. 1t is the only honest way,
by which we mean that it is the only
way in which every man will get his
own. We venture the assertion with
the utmost confidence that if the test
was adopted and every mans test put
in plain sight in the creamery where
the farmers could see it, many of the
COWS in that creamery would at once
see the necessity of furnishing milk
richer in butter fat. The reason that
would begin the reform is not that
watering milk is universal, or even
common, but because the farmer would
SO handle his cows in the way of feed,
and particularly in the way of milk
ing, as to put more butter fat into the
milk. Freedom from excitement and
proper care, we think. would at once
nut more butter fat into the milk.
