El-Alam, a Turkish paper of New
York, tells this story: ''Ibrahim Eff
fendi, to whom things happened. did you
perchance hear of the things? The Eff
fendi was crossing a river, bearing with
him his mother-in-law and bag of gold,
his savings. Then rose the food which
wrecked the vessel, and Ibrahim knew
not at first which to save, the gold or his
relative. Then, having taken counsel
with himself, thought 1brahim and
spake: My gold will save. for where
can get more gold? But Allah to me
will give all the mothers-in-law that l
need,@ and perhaps more,1 Then, having
thus said, he thus did, and all the Turks
said that he was wisa.' :.

Feeding u Calf for beef PURPOSES.

In the first place take good care Of the
COW while she Is carrying the Gulf and
also when it comes. II we intend to feed
the calf from the pail we 10 not allow
the COW to lick It but take it to a warm,
well-bedded box stall and rub It of and
leave it for three Or four hours to get
hungry. We then take some milk from
the COW (hut do not milk her out thor
oughly for forts-elght hours ut least
after calving, az this Is a great safe
guard against garget) and give to the
calf. We feed 1t about two quarts at
first and gradually increase the quantity
as it requires It. The calf should be fed
three times 4 day the first week but care
should be taken not to overfeed as scours

Some Seasonable Spring Sayings.

Some seasonable Spring Sayings.
Springtime has come at last, and now
is the time for all catarrh sufferers to
begin a systematic course of treatment
for this disease. The greatest difficulty
In the way of treating chronic catarrh
is that the patient is so liable to catch
cold during the treatment and thus de-
lay the cure. This liability at this sea-
son of the year is, in a great measure,
removed, and no one should neglect
the opportunity to begin treatment.
