FEEDING EAR CORN.
The New jersey Experiment station
Proves Unwisdom of the Practice
by Eloquent Figures.

The practice of feeding ear-corn to
cattle is very widespread. The impress
sion seems to be that what is lost in
the unused corn is made up in the saw
ing in labor and expense of grinding.
The practice of having hogs follow"
cattle originated in desire to make
good part of this loss. The practice,
however, is not one that commends it.
self to men that practice advanced
methods in feeding. Even in the cases
of men that have their cattle followed
by hogs in summer time, the same prac-
tice of feeding corn on the cob is con-
tinued during the winter and during all
other times, when the loss cannot Ger,
tainly be made good by the hogs. Ex-
periments have demonstrated that the
loss of good feeding material by the
practice is very large. The New Jersey
experiment station recently made
some tests that were strongly demon
strative of the unwisdom of this course.
One cow was fed ten pounds of corn on
the cob daily, of which 5.T3 pounds APP
peared in the excrement, thus showing
that 57.3 per cent. went through the
stomachs of the COW without being af-
fected by the digestive processes. 1t
must be taken into consideration that
there is loss otherwise than of the 57.3
per cent. of corn, Sor the animal has
had to use some force in the process OF
passing this unused material through
the system. The station mentioned
figured out that in the case of a COW CIV
ing milk the value of ton of corn and
cob meal was $9.3s more than ton of
ear corn. OF course, from this must be
deducted the cost of husIling and grind
ing ton of corn, but this would seldom
exceed a half of the increased value
resented.-Farmers' Review.

THE HAIR AT NIGHT.
N system of Treatment Which, in the
Course of n Year, VIII Almost
Work Wonders.

At bedtime unfasten your hair and
brush it. Brush it half an hour every
evening for month; after that brush
1t Is minutes nightly-ten minutes, If
you have no more time. Loosen it com
pletely, rub it with your fingers, rub
bing and brushing alternately, using,
as before, first soft, soothing brush,
then vigorous, stiff one. Brush it to
the tips of the longest strands. Gather
1t loosely for the night, allowing full
ventilation, and in the morning brush
1t Is minutes at first, afterward ten
minutes devotedly every day. If your
hair is thin and threatens to fall, or the
parting is growing inconveniently
wide, let it down at night and massage
the scalp. Rub it, gather the loose skin
between the fingers, pinch it little, in
vent exercise for it with the tip of the
fingers. Give it some work to do every
day. and brush it. Part it on the side
at night and give the days parting a
rest.
No treatment of this sort produces a
sudden or spectacular result, but If
there is no disease of the hair follicles
and the general health is good, it will
often work wonders in twelvemonth.
Once in couple of months-more often
or less, as you find your need-go to a
good hairdresser, who will run your
locks, tress by tress, through a comb
shipping the broken or split hairs and
leaving healthy, growing ends. No in
discriminate chopping at the end of a
braid with rash, amateurish scissors
will produce results of much value

THE CHICKEN MITE.
There Is No Way to Secure Permanent
Relief from the Pest, Except
Eternal Vigilance,

This exceedingly troublesome and
often fatal pest is the cause of many
complaints from those raising chick
ems. The attacks of the pest are not
confined to poultry, as it is often found
in pigeon houses and in the nests of 9TH
er birds about farm buildings. Where
they are numerous they often find
their way to animals confined in the in
Tested buildings. The mites are noe
turnal in their habits. During the day.
time they are generally in hiding about
the building, but at night they aban-
don their hiding places and seek for
food. Chickens are often prevented
from sleeping at night, and not rarely
forced to abandon their eggs when set
ting. Instances have been recorded
where birds have been killed by this
mite.
There is no way to receive permanent
relief from the pest. The remedies
must be applied often and thoroughly,
since the insect is able to live a long
time without eating. Cleanliness must
be observed. The hen manure should
be frequently removed, as it often
swarms with the pest. If the hen house
is light fumigation by sulphur is very
effective. To prevent any accident by
fire, float the metal vessel containing
the burning sulphur in tub of water.
After several hours of fumigation, air
the building well before occupancy.
Pure kerosene is also to be recon-
mended. The interior of the building,
including perches, should be well
sprayed with it. After using kerosene
remember to air the building before in

they are trimmed aas delicately and
elaborately as any evening gown.
A very pretty skirt was made of coral
pink taffeta with large black squares
scattered through~it. A deep circular
ruffle was added at sthe5knee. This was
trimmed with double ruffie, accordion
plated and finished with a narrow
heading of shirred chiffon. Bows of
black satin ribbon were set around the
foot of the skirt at frequent intervals.
Flounces made of alternate rows of
ribbon and lace insertion are another
fancy, and plaitings of black and white
net trimmed with rows of ribbon are a
very effective trimming. For a very
dainty decoration plaftngs of chiffon
cannot. be surpassed, and in every case
ribbon is employed, this being consid-

WITH THE BUSY BEES.

The best trees to set around the hive

1t is mistake to let colony of bees
be overstocked with drones.
Nothing is gained by feeding bees
when there are plenty of flowers.
When bees build comb in their nat.
ural way an excess of drones is usually
produced.
The life of a bee depends upon the
work it does. When it works its life is
shortened.
No drones are reared in a colony unt4I

are well filled.
To produce large crop of honey bees
should not be allowed to swarm, but
kept together.
Bees have been known to swarm in
a box hive when the hive was only
three-fourths full.
Each frame of comb in hive should
occupy an inch and a half of space, tax

seem too precious for one in business,
but it will be more than compensated
for by the mental and bodily condition
that follows. Sit in an easy chair. Ly-

the digestive organs and makes ones

the head comfortably. Tip the chair to
a pleasant angle for the body, not
enough to hnve the weight of the body
on the back. Place the feet upon a

terlacing the fingers, place the fleshy

The Selection OF I.nua..

Much has been written regarding egg
type or the picking out of layers from
their shape. We believe there is some-
thing in it. We believe that a bright,
active hen,' with rather long. deep
body, is better layer than sluggish
acting, compact or rounded bodied one.
Yet there is far more in bre. ding than
in selection. If we want layers we must
breed from noted layers. Like will
beget like" and noted layer will be
more likely to produce layers than
poor layer. So the only way to be sure
TO get good layers is to breed them. Not
only must the hen be a good layer but
the cock must be from the same strain.
This will necessitate in-breeding some-
what, but with good judgment and un-
limited range, this will not hurt the
strain unless persisted in too long. 1t
