What to Do With Skim Milk.

If you have not enough pigs or
poultry to use up the skim milk from
your butter dairy, the best use you
can make of it, and perhaps even bet
ter than feeding it to pigs and
poultry, is to give it to the COWS that
have produced it. If the COW will not
eat it AT first, put some wheat bran
with ground corn and oats with the
milk, and she will eat it for the
sake of the grain. Soon the COW will
begin to like the taste of the milk,
even if it has soured some. 1t un-
doubtedly helps the cows DIGESTION,
especially in summer, when most of
the food the COW eats is Laxative. The
milk furnishes variety and of just the
kind of nutrition. rnat the COW is apt
to be lacking. Much of the complaint
tlaat feeding grain dries cows up and
fattens them is due to the fact that
the grain does not furnish enough of
the heterogeneous elements that go to
form milk. There is limit to the
amount of butter fats that can be put
into the milk. When that limit is
reached the COW fattens. In other
words, she puts the fat on her flesh or
in her stomach and lessons her milk
product Another benefit from feed
ing milk to cows is that it gives them
a healthy appetite for all kinds of
food, and induces the COW to become q
hearty and even Noracious feeder.
Separator milk is best for COWS, or,
for that matter, for anything else. All
the souring that milk undergoes Is ac-
companied with some loss of nutri-

Agricultural Notes.

Nip off the seed pods of the bache-
lor's buttons, popples and corcopsis.
Keep the sweet peas we'll watered
and pick the blossom from the vines
every day.
A hay press for bail;ng hay is essen
tial on all farms where large quanhl-
ties of grass are cut.
During hot weather she plants
should be watered sKnight, as there
is less loss from evaporation.
Uncut corn fodder is troublesome to
hand lR IN the barn and if fed loosely
int1he yard it is partly wasted.
As rule sick fowl does not re-
spond to treatment, and it is waste
of time to bother with it, unless it is a
valuable specimen.
If short of pasturage and no soiling
crops are ready, supply the stock with
a ration of bran daily. Bran is cheap
enough now to pay profit if fed to
yoTlg growing stock.
When a sod has been turned under
the land should be manured or ferti-
lized every year until it is in sod
again, and if the sod is being moved
for hay, it should at least receive fair
application of the mineral fertilizers.
Keep the flower buds cut off the
plants that you wish to bloom during
the winter. Let the plants make
strong growth during the summer, and
by removing the buds the extra
strength is thrown into the plant.

Known by His Walk.

A tutor of one of the Oxford colleges
who limped in his walk was some
years ago accosted by well-known
politician, who asked him if he was
not the chaplain of the college at such
a time, naming the year. The doctor
said he was. The interrogation OBJ
served; 81 knew you by your limp"
'Well," said the doctor, lit seemed
my limping made deeper impression
than my preaching" "Ah, doctor"
was the reply, with ready wit, sit is
the highest compliment we can pay a
minister to say that he is known by
his walk rather than by his conversa-
ton. st. Louis Star.

An Incident at Santiago.

An incident of the trenches before
Santiago is told by a member Of the
Ninth Massachusetts. He says: I'VE
arrived at the battlefield about noon,
and were lined up in position behind
a hill to act as reserves and to protect
the food and ammunition. Bullets
were whistling over our heads in a
perfect storm; but we were becoming
quite used to that sort of thing, and,
being tired out, we lay down on the
ground and tried to keep cool. While
we were lying there a shell dropped at
the feet of Sergeant Walker, not three
feet from him. Fortunately it did not
explode; if it had. the whole company
would have been wiped out.
''It gave some of the boys such
fright that they started to run, but
Sergeant Walker called them back, as
suring them that the danger was past,
and that he was going to use it for
seat. He walked over to it and planked
himself down; but he had no more
than touched it when he jumped about
five feet in the air, and grabbing him
self by the seat of the trousers, yelled:

A New French Submarine Boat.

A new submarine boat has just been
begun at the French Government dock
yards at Cherbourg. The vessel,
which will be christened the Narval,
will measure over 100 feet from stem
to stern, and twelve feet across her
bows. The Narval is to be built to
sail under water at will, and will be
armed with four torpedo tubes placed
astern. The craft, which will meas
ure log tons displacement, is expected
to sail from eight to twelve knots.
She will not, however, exceed eight
knots under water. She will be
manned by crew of eleven officers
and men, and will be propelled by
electricity as well as by steam.

Profitable Beef Cattle.

Practical and experienced feeders
who breed or purchase steers for fat
tening observe striking differences in
the aptitude of animals of varying
types and makeup to lay on flesh
readily and in such form and quality
as to command the highest price on
the market. 1t requires well-trained
eye to detect in all cases the possible
variation of results in the store, or
stock, steer; but there are some dis
tinctions that are easily detected.
There are certain types of cattle, for
instance, that never feed profitably
under any conditions, aud it is quite
as important to discriminate against
these in the feed lot as to be able TO
recognize the excellence in other
types,
The characteristics that make the
profitable feeder are naturally more
difficult to detect in animals in stock
conditions than when fattened, but
Notwithstanding this there are num-
Der of indications that are fairly re-
liable. Though the young steer may
be comparatively thin in flesh and
temporarily lacking the thick, even
covering of the back and ribs so es-
sential in the finished carcass, he
must nevertheless present that blocky
frame and stoutness of build, accom-
panied by short, straight legs, wide
back and loin, well-sprung ribs, full
ness back of shoulders and in fanks,
prominent brisket, full neck vein,
wide chest and well-rouuded barrel,
together with o good, soft, mellow
handling skin and fine, silky hair,
giving what is termed the thick,
dressy coat; without coarseness, and
with it all a good, strong, vigorous
head, clear, full eye, and quiet tenn
perament. The Importance of an even
covering of flesh and good handling
quality can hardly be overestimated.
The bone should be moderately fine
and clean. Coarseness either in the
6one or about the head and horns is
particularly Objectionable, as it indi-
Gates coarseness of texture through
out and greater percentage of offal
and cheap meat, as well as a ten
dency to sluggish circulation. The
head should present certain refine
mept, finish and vigor that in a meas
ure indicate a general quality and
superior excellence of finished prod
uct, though this refinement must be
accompanied by delicacy.-Professor
@. F. Curtis, in Farmers Bulletin

what the boys call fish-worms, and
that whenever it rained and the sun
came out later, the worms came to the
surface and then the chicks would
scratch down a little and get them.
At the top of the ground where the
fertilizer lay there was a great lot of
very small and red worms, and great
many white grubs.
After taking q good view of the
situation we decided to foster our
worm hatchery, and to utilize it as
one of the sources of food for our
little chickens. In warm, showery
weather it yields abundantly, but in
dry spells the worms seem to so
deeper into the earth and can then be
obtained by deep digging only.-H.

The Original Tommy Atkins.

The question as to the origin of
Tommy Atkins as the godfather-in-
chief of the British army has been re-
Gently discussed in the columns of
the Western Morning News. The re-
ceived version is that the name origi-
nally appeared in a model account
form issued by the War Office. But
it is asserted that real Thomas At
kins was, in the beginning of the
century, a gunner in the Royal Artil-
lery, and kept pay-book in such a
neat and orderly manner that it be-
came a model for soldiers account
books in general, which took the
name of their originator. Then by q
process of substitution known to stu
dents of mythology, the individual
soldier took the place of the book,
and the mythopeic Tommy came into
being. Household Words.

Newly Cleared Land.

If any one wants to know what diff
6culties the early settlers in wooded
sections had to encounter, let him
make clearing in some wood lot and
then try to grow crop among the
stumps. He will break moro plow
points and harrows working this land
than the crop will be worth when
grown. But the early settlers had at
least one advantage, and that was that
their newly cleared land was free from
weeds. In all the older settled parts
of the country there are many bad
weeds among the trees in the woods,
the seeds of which have been carried
there by birds or other animals.

Tho Passing of an Old Coaching Inn.
One Of the last of London's old
coaching inns is being demolished.
Long threatened, the White Horse, in
Fetter Lane, survivedto see evil days,
for, under the name of White Horse
Chambers, the old house became any
thing but select. The aristooratic
name of Chambers, as understood
in st. James's, was somewhat of
misnomer, for the inn was in its last
years common lodging house, where
varied assortment of tramps OBJ
tanned nightly shelter. To this com.
plexion did that rooftree come, which
once had sheltered such lights of
fashionable and legal society as the
famous Philip Dormer, Earl of Ches-
terheld, and Lord Brougham. From
the courtyard of the White Horse de-
parted daily many of the crack West
Country coaches in the Augustian age

the late twenties of this century num-

Is scarcely any drunkenness in the town,
