its value, rs the skimmilk makes an
excellent feed for hogs and poultry,
especially when it is combined with
grain.
One of the important factors in
milk cost is the wearing out and loss
from depreciation in the value of cows.
The high feeding of milch COWS to force
production is great tax on their di-
gestive organs, and after few years
feeding on grains the best COWS will
be of little value to the average farmer
who gives only ordinary feed. We
have seen this experiment tried so Of
ten that if we were buying cows we
should inquire very closely as to their
history. Ifj they have been several
years in the hands of milkman, and
subjected to the forcing process for
the production of the largest amount
of milk, we should unhesitatingly re-
ject them as good for nothing except to
fatten for the butcher. It is probable
that this forcing, and also the daily
withdrawal of large quantities of milk,
weakens the cows constitution and
makes her more likely to be the VIC
tim of tuberculosis. 1t is true this
disease originates from germ. Yet
if the health is good On animal or man
may be exposed to tuberculosis germs
for years, and repel them all. It has
been among the highly fed and care
fully housed cows that tuberculosis
has been most prevalent. There has
been a needless scare on this subject
which is now mostly past. But it is
we'll to remember that COWS need all
the more pure air when they are fed
high so as to stimulate an excessive
production of milk, which is the fact
in most milk dairies. American Guilt

Relics of Roman Paris.

Interesting relics of Roman Paris,
the old Lutetia, have been discovered
on digging sixteen foot deep founda-
tions for house in the Rue du
Cloitre- -Notre Dame. There are traces,
for a length of nearly 200 feet, of a
wall nine feet thick at the base, and
consisting Of blocks of stone which
had evidently served for an older
building and been hastily put to-
gether. Many of these blocks bear
Latin proper names, still more or less
decipherable, though rudely chiseled.
1t is believed that these inscribed
blocks were the tiers of an amphithe-
alter, another portion of which was dis
covered in front of Notre Dame in
1S47. They also resemble the stones
found in 1870 in the Rue Monge be-
longing to another amphitheater, a
portion of which was restored some
years ago and converted into public
garden.--St James Gazette.

From March, 184O, until March,
1898, 100 transatlantic vessels-steam-
ships plying between Europe and
America only-were lost en- route, and
as direct result of this $3.50 lives
were lost. The estimate of lives lost
from various other causes is 600. The
number of steamships never heard
from after leaving port was seventeen.
The number burned was nine, and the
number foundered was twelve. The
other wrecks we're caused by COLI
sions, being washed ashore, collision
with icebergs, etc. From March, 1898,
to the beginning of the present year
the loss of life on the Atlantic has
been much less than in former years,
though one or two large steamers have
had serious mishaps and one-the
Boston--was never heard from.

YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in, nd.
vanced years are realized by compare
lively few women.
Their hard lives, their liability to Sc
rious troubles on account of their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
rance concerning themselves, all com
bine to shorten the period of usefulness
and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
GUS health in old age. From every cor
ner of the earth there is constantly COM
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is a letter from Mrs. J. G. Orms, of 22o
Horner St., Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKuAM:-I feel it my
duty to tell all suffering women that
think your remedies are wonderful. l
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well, had kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb.
Since taking your remedies I am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. l can eat and
sleep we'll and am gaining in flesh. l
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles"
= The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ehce in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia q. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred thousand ailing
women during single year.

But Her Efforts Did Not Meet with
Much Success.
1t takes fully six months for story
like the following to become public
property. Last season a Washington
woman, possessing both social and
charitable ambitions, elected to give a
reception. The affair was to be very
exclusive. Judge of the surprise wnen
n bundle of invitations was left at the
door of hospital in town upon whose
board of managers Mrs. 2. serves. The
invitations We're found to be addressed
to the trained nurses of the institution,
and great was the wonder that the pro-
fessional ranks had been invaded for
society recruits.
A few days elapsed, and Mrs. 2. paid
a visit to the hospital. Making herself
extremely agreeable, she remarked to
the nurses
well, girls, hope you received cards
to my reception"
Smiles and acknowledgements an
swered in the affirmative, and Mrs. u.
went on complacently:
Indeed, was only too glad to re-
member you all. 1 appreciate how
much work and how little play you
girls have, and 1 thought you would
enjoy little glimpse Of society fun"
mo doubt of it, Mrs. H." one of the
nurses spoke up, "but none Of us are
likely to have gowns suitable to wear
al such a function"
"Oh, that need not trouble you in the
least" returned the smiling Mrs. u.
"Now, my idea is this. OF course, l
understand you have no evening
gowns, and that you know very few
society people, but these facts must not
interfere with your getting a peep at
my guests and eating some of my sup
per. l thought the whole thing would
be simplitied if you all came in your
pretty uniforms and caps, and took up
your stations in the dressing rooms.
You would only have to assist the la
dies with their wraps and you could see

and" But such a chorus of indig-
nant exclamations rent the air at that
juncture that Mrs. Us sentence was
never completed.
The social yeneerinS must be thlckly
coated on Mrs. a., for to this day she
does not seem to understand why the
nurses meet her advances with frigid
Indifference, and why her visits to the
hospital are no longer pleasant.-Wash-

Cost of Producing Milk.

Milk is one product of the farm
that can be much dearer than it is and
yet give the consumer full value for
his money. Its price to the producer
is mostly regulated by combinations
of milk sellers, who act as middlemen,
and who manage to secure much too
large share of the profits. With re-
frigerator cars to take the milk to
market, and ice to preserve it sweet
while in their possession, there is very
little chance that any will remain un-
sold. AS q matter of fact, in most
cases the price of milk to the producer
is fixed just enough above its value to
convert into butter and cheese to Sc
cure most of it. Then as all the milk
for Boston and neighboring cities
goes under contract that what remains
unsold shall be paid for at the rates 1t
would bring if made into butter, when
much of the milk goes for making but

L. W. Bradshaw, of Spokane Coun-
ty, Washington, writes: I have had
considerable experience in the man
agement of brood sows and in each
case of pig-eating have decided the
trouble was due either to excessive
feeding after pigging or lack of bed
ding when pigging. To avoid any diff
hculty [ choose spot for the sow's
bed five or ten days before she is to
pig. I very much prefer place where
she can have her bed rooted out low in
the center, which she will always do if
possible. gave her all the short straw
she can use SO that she will be complete
ly covered up when pigging. She lying
in the lower spot, it is but natural for
the pigs to tumble till they reach the
right place for nursing.
The labor of the SOW gives great
heat and all is warm and contented.
But if the cool air strikes the SOW she
tries to protect herself and begins to
worry. This worry is liable to cause
fever of craving appetite, when she
begins by eating her own leavings and
if not satisfied begins on the pigs.
Last winter one Of my sows pigged
when was not prepared to give her
plenty of bedding. About three hours
after she had her pigs and just before
retiring at night, 1 visited the shed
and found she was eating her pigs. I
took a light and gathered up the re-
naming six pigs and took them to the
house. Then prepared about one gal
Ion of warm salt wstcr and gave her,
which she drank freely. Following
Mis- I gave her big pile of hay for a
Bed and left her.
The next morning found she had a
nice bed into which after opening I
placed the pigs and watched very hap
py greeting. L kept the feed from the
sow for about thirty-six hours, when
gradually brought her up to a full
feed and all went well. This is the
second experience of this kind with
the same satisfactory results; also once
when the pigs were about four weeks
old, but the warm salt water and extra
bedding relieved the trouble.
