The Butterfly King.

The London Express, In announcing
the death of William Watkins, one of
the foremost entomologists of the day,
gives this interesting story of his life:
OF Welsh extraction, he began col
Letting butterflies when he was a
schoolboy of nine. At that time there
were fields in the vicinity of Peckham.
and the first butterfly Mr.. Watkins
ever caught was the peacock" From
thenceforth he became an ardent en-
tomologist; he gradually went ON col.
lecting moths, and eventually he made
this the business of his life.
His parents articled him to some shin
and insurance brokers, but while out
with them he devoted all his leisure
time TO collecting. Indeed, 1t was no
unusual occurrence for him to stay ont
until midnight in pursuit of the treas.
ures he coveted. Taking a dislike TO
the shlpbroking business, and mani.
Testing the inevitable desire TO "ses
life" he went to India, where he had

mology.
After sojourn of six years In In.
dia, he returned to England, and was
able TO sell large collection to Mr.
Hornlman, the well-known tea mer.
chant.
He then began business as n profes
slonal entomologist, and opened estab

Strand. In 1881 he formed the Insect
House in the Geological Gardens.
During the past ten years he resided
at Eastbourne, where he carried on the
breeding of butterflies of the most dl.
verse specimens. His success earned
for him the name Of THE Butterfly

RHYMES EoR The WEEK.



While 1t Is true that superstition ID

minds there fingers a little yestige OF

In an old book, written In the year
1889, are found some rhymes upon the
days of the week which have outhved
many a piece of writing more worthy
of preservation. On reading some OF
them one somehow receives the impress
sion that every day OF the week was
either a Sunday or a holiday. and that
the simple folk had nothing to do but
TO play and rest when not engaged IN
prayer, an impression not borne out
by the stubborn facts" OF the hard
working lives of the masses in Golden
times" That Sunday was scrupulously
observed Is evident from the warnings
of the direful consequences of cutting
the nails or even sneezing on the Sab
bath.

brother;
Tuesday Is such another:
Wednesday you must go to church and
pray;
Thursday Is haif-holiday;

Cut them on Thursday, cut them for

Cut them on Friday. you'll cut them for

Cows as Food Producers

The COW is one of the most valuable
of the farm animals as an economic
producer of food from the coarse and
cheap folders of the farm. says a cor
respondent of The Breeders Gazette,
The following illustrates this point;
One pound of dry matter in milk is
produced from s pounds of dry matter
In food, in beef from q pounds. in nut
ton from 81 pounds and in pork from
pounds.
The only fair comparison is between
the Illuminating animals, which are fed
on similar food. The hog is fed al
most wholly on concentrated foods, as
the various grains. 1t takes nearly
three and one-half times as much food
to make a pound of dry food in bee'
as it does to make one pound of dry
matter in milk and over two and one
half times as much to produce the
same results with sheep The COW is
therefore a much more efficient food
producer than either the steer or the
sheep.
The COW, moreover, produces a food
that is adapted to a wide range of USE
and is almost Indispensable to the
young of humankind. Milk, too, and
the products from it are more thor.
oughly digested than other animal
foods, and there is less waste. The
dairy COW will long survive the steer
as a producer of food for man.

The easiest way that we know of to
keep permanent pasture in good con-
dition is to stock 1t hard enough so
that the grass will be eaten before 1t
throws up a seed stock or becomes
hard and woody and then give extra
feed at the barn so that the animals
will return at least as much fertility
to the soil as the grass takes from it.
So says The American Cultiyator. OF
course manure or fertilizer may be
carried out and spread on the pasture,
but that costs money, and eastern
farmers are often at loss to obtain
fertilizing elements enough for their
moving lands and cultivated fields.
II they buy feed to use In summer
when cattle are in the pasture. they
hope to and usually do get enough in
the way of growth, fat or milk produc-
ton to pay for it and look upon the
increased quantity and extra quality
of the manure heap as an extra profit.
In this matter of Overstocking the pas
ture it is best done and produces best
results where there are two pastures,
so that the animals can be changed
from one to the other about once a
week or as often as the feed is eaten
down smooth. This helps to prevent
them from gnawing 80 closely as to
destroy the roots. which they may do
in some favorite spot if they are kept
too long in one pasture.

Fattening Cattle.

A fat steer of LOCO pounds weight is
baid to have in it 500 pounds of water,
about 25 pounds of nitrogen, Is pounds
of phoslhoric acid and two pounds of
potash, says The American Cultivator.
To buy this nitrogen to return to the
soil would cost about $3.50, and the
phosphoric acid would cost abol. 81
In selling such an animal raised on
the farm and farm products about
$3.50 worth Of fertilizing material is
taken. II bran. linseed meal or other
grain is bought tic feed it. more than
this would probably be added to the
farm, and It would be growing richer,
while If the hay and grain 1t consumed
had been sold off the farm 1t would
have been robbed of much more.

GarElinx the Throat.

II one Is to really do good by gar
gling-that is, if one is to insure that
the fluid shall reach the posterier wal
of the pharynx-the nose must be held
and the head must be well thrown
back while performing the gargling
process. By gargling in the usual way
only the anterior surface of the uvula
and soft palate and the base of the
tongue are reached. But by holding
the nose and throwing the head vel
back when gargling the medieameni
reaches every surface of the pharynS
very effectively.
The comparative value of the two
methods can be tested by painting the
posterior surface of the pharynx care
fully with strong solution of methy-
lene blue and then letting the patient
gargle with water in the usual way
when it will be found that the water
elected will be clear and upstained
then let him gargle again, holding the
nose and throwing his head well back
when the elected fluid will be found
stained, and an inspection of the
pharynx will show that the blue has
been washed away.
This is a thing worth remembering
for many observers have maintained
that gargling is not only useless as q
method of medication, but is quite in
effectual even as a means Of cleansing
the pharynx.- Charlotte Medical Jour

over an area of no less than $50 square

then there have happened severa,
showers OF a similar description, but

been recorded in Ireland, one of which
was felt over an area of 400 square
miles.
No one seems to have microscopically

for smut mildew and rust in wheat

The writer sums up his remarks

Few farmers who haul their milk to
the creamery take much pains In cool
ing their milk, and | doubt if it is abso-
lutely necessary if it is delivered be-
fore it sours. says correspondent OF
Hoards Dairyman. But for those who
ship their milk to cities or deliver di-
rectly to private families cooling milk
is an important factor in the milk bust
ness.
There are great number of ways of
cooling milk. but the easiest and most
scientific way in my experience is this:
First Of all get correct thermome-
ter and take the temperature of the
water you intend to use to cool your
milk with.
Invest in an aerator, or cooler. ANY
kind is better than none at all, as they
are all made to cool and aerate the
milk in better way than stirring 1t in
a can or bucket.
After you have been working at your
milk trying to cool it off for a certain
length of time and you think it ought
to be cool enough by this time, don't
fail to take the temperature of the
milk and don't depend on guesswork,
for more cans of milk have been lost
by guesswork than any other way !
know Of.
Shippers who ship their milk to large
cities often complain of "sour milk
marked on their statement when they
get their checks. They are generally
those who do not understand cooling
their milk properly. They don't know
the temperature of their spring water;
they don't know how cool their milk
is when they ship it. and then the deal
er they ship to is blamed for it all be-
cause he refuses to pay them full price
for their tainted and sour milk.

UNIFORM STANDARD.

what the Market Demands In But
ter and Cheese.
One of the needs of the time is some
uniform standard of butter and cheese
making. so that there viii be less diff
ference between the grades which are
shipped to our markets, says w. X.
Farmer in American Cultivator. Such
uniformity Of our product would be of
inestimable value to our shipping
trade, which at present has a good
deal to contend with in foreign mar
kets. If all dairymen tried to make
their butter and cheese after certain
excellent formula, the products would
soon obtain a better reputation In Eu-
rome. One of the secrets of the sue
cess of Canadian cheese in England
is that it is all of uniform standard
Cheeses from 40 or 80 factories or farms
can be placed alongside Of each other
and they look SO much alike that ii
would be hard to believe that they
were made in widely different parts Of
the country by as many different men.
Through cooperation and united eff
fort the Canadian cheesemakers have
come to adopt a modern, clean, sue
cessful method of making and curing
their cheese. and, as all cheese that
fails to come up to the standard can
not be exported as Canadian cheese.
the shrewd dairymen have little in
centive to make anything except the
best. Now, having established an en-
viable record for their cheese, these
same dairymen are devoting their at
tention to the improvement of then
butter product They are employing
the same method to do this that they
adopted so successfully for their
cheese. It is the uniformity of then
cheese more than anything else that
has given it the reputation abroad.
In looking around for a standard OF
either cheese or butter, it is only neces
sary to examine the product of the
careful skfllful dairymen in the spring
and summer of the year Natures
succulent food is at its best now. and
it is not difficult to make fine. yellow
butter or rich, fine, full cream cheese
The product of the dairy at this season
should be accepted as the standard for
the year round. Our June creamery
butter is considered so fine that specu-
lators buy hundreds of tons of it and
store it for winter trade. This would
not be necessary if we made an effort
to keep up the standard.
