The layman cannot easily realize the
vast amount of material as to food and
ammunition demanded by an army IL
the field. A few facts and figures as
to this may aid to make it more tangi
Bile. Each man requires, at a mini
mum, three pounds and half of food
per day Each animal should have al
least 20 pounds of food in countries
where grazing is not abundant If We
take, for purposes of estimate, only L
pounds required to supply each animal
leaving five pounds to be gathered from
the country by grazing and otherwise
we assume quantity that may be con
sidered a minimum.
An army of 10000 men would re
quire about $4,000 animals for trans
portation of artillery, camp equipment
ammunition, food. hospital and med
ical equipment There should not bt
less than 10000 cavalry. There should
not be less than 10000 animals avail
able at all times to supply losses. This
makes a total of 10000 animals to b.
fed With this as basis we see that
the daily demands would be for the
men 525, 900 pounds and for the horses
100000 pounds, or an aggregate Of
1,S75.000 pounds. This is equal t
something more than 1896 tons per day

The Finger Nails.

In Gays when superstition was more
prevalent than it is now the shape and
appearance of the finger nails were
considered to have reference to ones
destiny. To learn the message of the
finger nails it was necessary to rub
them over with compound of wax
and SCOT and then to hold them so that
the sunlight fell fully on them. Then
on the horny. transparent substance
certain signs and characters were sup
posed to appear. from which the future
could be interpreted. Persons, too,
having certain kinds of mills were cred
tied with the possession of certain
characteristics. Thus a man with red
and spotted nails was supposed to
have hot temper, while pale, lead col
ored nails were considered to denote a
melancholy temperament. Narrow nails
were supposed to betray ambition and
n quarrelsome nature, while round
shaped nails were the distinguishing
marks of lovers of knowledge and peo-
pie of liberal sentiment. Conceited,
narrow minded and obstinate folk were
supposed to have small nails. indolent
people fleshy nails and those of a gen.
tie. retiring nature braad nails.

BUTTER MAKERS, TROUBLES
influence of Surroundings and the
Condition of Cows

influence of SURROUNDINGS and the
Condition of Cows.
Churning in a cold room will often
lower the temperature sufficiently to
retard the butter coming, says Miss
Laura Rose of the Ontario Agricultural
college When this happens, draw off
part of the cream and gradually heat
it by standing the can in pan of hot
water, stirring all the time. never
advise adding hot water directly to the
cream, as it spoils both the color and
texture of the butter. Breed and the In
dividuality of the COW have something
to do with the churnability of the
cream. Some cows milk yields softer
butter fat, which quickly churns; 9th
ers produce a hard tallowy fat, very
hard to churn Feed influences the
hardness or softness of the butter fat.
The dry, condensed feed of winter pro-
duces butter fat which has a melting
point several degrees higher than the
fat produced from the suceulent green
fodder of summer. This accounts part
ly for the higher churning temperature
during the winter season.
A judicious selection of foods helps
materially. Cottonseed cake tends to
harden the butter, while linseed cake
has the opposite effect. In winter
there are often many cows In the herd
which have been milking for a long
time. The fat globules in their milk
are much smaller and do not adhere
together as readily as the larger ones
Of fresh milk cows. Then there is also
present in such milk a viscous sub
stance which prevents the massing Of
the globules. l have known many peo-
pie to lose churning after churning
from this cause.
Under such circumstances l would
suggest trying the following plan.
which has been recommended, but l
have had no opportunity of testing its
effectiveness since hearing it: Pour in
to the churn as much water as there
is cream and of the same temperature.
Churn a minute or two; let stand until
the cream has risen to the top; draw
off the water, which, 1t is claimed,
washes out the viscous substance; pro-
coed as with a usual churning. only
avoid having the temperature too low
or the churn too full. 1t is well to in
troduce occasionally a fresh milk COW
into the herd as it helps the churning
and improves the flavor of the butter.
Separator cream is sometimes so rich
that it thickens in the churn. and con-
cussion ceases. All that is necessary
is to add a little water to thin the
cream.
Streaky butter is caused by INSULT
clent working and an uneven distribu-
ton of the salt. Wherever the salt has
not penetrated a white streak shows
up. More working removes this de-
feet Never mix sweet cream with
sour cream just before churning. The
sour cream churns more quickly, and
as a consequence much of the sweet
cream is left in the buttermilk, and
quite a loss is sustained. Do not add
sweet cream less than II hours pre-
vious to churning and always stir thor
oughly. The only way to procure gilt
edged butter is by eternal vigilance, as
that is the price of success.

The prevailing topic Of conversation
m the street cars. on street corners and
other places In Kansas City deals with
the new industry Of raising Belgian
hares. To the man or woman whose
attention or interest has not yet been
attracted to this new field of work 1t is
a difficult matter to view 1t seriously
but the supreme test of success for any
project according to business standards
Is its money making qualities. and in
this the Belgian hare has made phe
nomenaI record. But 1t is not In Kan
sas City alone. The whole west and
south have been electrified by the new
industry Men, women, boys and girls
are joining in the ranks by hundreds,
and the demand is greater than the
supply.

There has been a sensational expan.
sion in the volume of exports of Ameri-
can mules. For January, 1900, there
were exported $3.50 mules, against 53s
head In January last year. The ex-
port of mules for the seven months
ended January, 1900, comprises total
of 22,264 head, against 4.834 mules foI
the corresponding period in 1898. the
former valued at $1.947.214 and the
latter at $431.37 Evidently the wars
are Of advantage to the horse and the
mule growers, and the end of the wars
will not end all. because the whole
horse and mule supply is reaching a
years to each up with the demand.

Botanists differ as to the poisonous
nature of yew treA;. There are many
instances both of their poisonous and
their harmless effect when browsed by
horses and cattle, but the partially
dried clippings of yew are certainly
most dangerous. If a view tree over
hangs a neighbours land and his horses
eat the yew without trespassing, the
owner of the tree is liable to pay for
any injury the horses may sustain. On
the other hand, If the horses or cattle
cannot browse on the tree without put
ting their heads over the fence the
owner of the horses must bear the loss.

The Arabs 1.-the Game.

In The Agricultural Journal of the
Cape of Good Hope appears m article
on the vitality of wheat from Egyptian
mummy cases. 1t is often asserted that
samples of wheat from the same crop
as that which Joseph stored In Pha-
raoh's granaries has been taken from
mummy wrapplngs and, when planted,
has grown. This is very likely erro-
neous, as the Arabs have a habit of
selling to tourists samples Of grain
which have in all likelihood come from
the nearest field instead Of from the
ancient tonlhs. Indeed IN many in-
stances this mummy grain has been
corn. and, as corn was not known until
1t was brought from America, the
fraud Is apparent
