The surest way to ruin a bulls
breeding qualities Is to consider him
prisoner condemned to durance vile
In a solitary cell where he 10 fed all
the corn he will eat. Lack OF exercise
and corn explain the fact that many a
bull fails to get calves and the wise
stockbreeder will substitute oats, mid
dlings, bran, oil meal and roots for
that great hog fattenlng food, corn
Rather than keep the bull penned up
In stall all OF the time 1t would be
much better to harness him to n ma
nure cart or other vehicle and keep
him thus In good muscular trim. On
the other hand bulls are also frequent
ly spoiled by turning out to pasture
with the cows where they often oyerdo
themselves and soon prove impotent'
The bull should only be treated In this
manner upon the great ranges OF the
west where 1t is out OF the question
to do otherwise. Give the bull ample
exercise In roomy box stall and pad
dock attached turn young bull In
with him for company, and feed him
upon a heterogeneous ration, bring the
cows to him, and there will be little
complaint OF his falling to breed,
The same remarks apply to the stall
lion and other male animals, for, with
all OF them lack of exercise too much
corn or oyerbreedlng are the common
causes of impotence, We are also OF
the opinion that the reason 30 many
COWS fail to come In heat or prove
with calf is the same overlooking upon
corn, and breeders will do well to re-
member this rather than experiment
with nostrums and empires, Nature
will set such matters right II given a

KNEELING BE SIDE THE BED.

do you really mean to try to reach
William" she asked. Suppose that
you should be discovered and recog-
nized as his friend?"
John shrugged his shoulders.
"Then we shall probably be shot to-
gether. Yes, Miss Harrison, a faint
ing fit will be quite superHuous here
and cannot serve us in the least. II
you are not resolute, the game will be
lost; and l tell you frankly that it
is matter Of life and death. We
shall undoubtedly be considered spies,
and your cousin will certainly do
nothing to clear up the error. Tho
Is the exact state Of the case. viii
you lie here, fainting, while 1t is de-
cided or will you do What you can to
help?"
These blunt words fulfilled their pur-
pose. What William, with all his con-
sideration and tenderness, had failed
to do, his friends sharpness accom-
pllshed. Florence, who was really on
the verge of fainting, rallied her
strength. Her voice still trembled yet
thrilled with kindling energy as she
replied:
Il am not so weak as you imagine.
l have courage for anything where
William is concerned. Tell me what
am to do"
For the present you must remain
quietly here, but be ready to respond
at any moment II call you. This
room has another door, / see; so l
can leave 1t, unobserved, while l am
supposed to be engaged in my profess
sional duties. After the message l
sent to Mr.. Harrison, he will probably
remain near, expecting further news"
But IL he doesn't-if he discovers
and surprises you-if the doctors
should arrive few hours earlier"
Yes, but one must not take the
Ifs into account in such enterprises, +"
said Maxwell, carelessly. Several
hundred Ifs menaced me when l rode
after that obstinate William, yet here
l am, and my identity is wholly I'M
suspected, which is enough for the
beginning"
He again approached the sick bed,
where his prediction was being full
filled. Death was approaching slowly
but calmly and without suffering, and

He gave the necessary orders to the

The winter housing Of hogs Is not
an easy problem to deal with, says a
writer in Nebraska Farmer, The main
difficulty is encountered in getting
enough for the animals, When a man
has comparatively few hogs, he can
master this part Of the difficulty fairly
well; but when the numbers are large
and comprise all ages, sexes and
breeds, the real magnitude of the ques-
ton Is appreciated. Our buildings are
not well adapted to provide exercise,
and in the winter we are compelled
to confine animals more closely than
we would desire. We have been able
to obtain very satisfactory growth, but
have not yet convinced ourselves that
we are producing bacon Of the best
quality. A piggery above all things,
should be dry and warm. We have
had best satisfaction from wooden
buildings, and prefer good to anything
else for the walls of the building. We
have some cement floors, with planked
sleeping places, which are giving very
fair satisfaction; but our narrowing
pens are foored with plank.

Ralph was busled with some medi-

approached the kneeling girl, bent

She slowly raised her pale, toar-

arouse some memory, her eyes rested
inquiringly upon the strangers fca-

FOOD FOR THE BRAIN WORKERS
(To be continued.)

Those Who Are Subject to Mental Strain
Should Regulate Thor Dict.
From the Sanitary Record: 1t Is all
right for the man who labors all day
in the open air to eat freely, but the
man of sedentary habits, the brain.
worker, must adapt his way of living
to his needs. He must be well nour.
ished, for the brain 10 incapable OF
good work unless well supplied with
pure blood, but such man cannot pos
sibIy furnish vital force to digest three
large meals daily. II he tries II nature
will protest at every step, The chem
ical changes of digestion will be im-
perfectly performed. The stomach will
neither secrete freely nor churn the
food with cheerful alacrl.y; the pylorlc
orilce contracts and allows such
chyme to pass with grudglng reluct-
ance; the intestinal lacteals are
ashamed to absorb such miserable pa
bulum, which chokes, irrltates and
congests them, so the large meal re-
mains in the digestive organs to fer
ment, putrefy and steep the individual
in foul gases and depraved secretions.
But the system can furnish enough vi
tai force to convert small meal into
pabulum of high standard, which will
be absorbed without difficulty. Three
such small meals are not enough to
keep the individual properly nourished,
however; four to six will be required.
Each should consist Of but one or at
most two articles of food, the diet to
be varied by changes at meals. The
portion Of food served must be small;
the patient must stop as soon as tho
appetite is satisfied and gaseous disten-
sion is proof positive that the meals
are still too large or too close to
gether.

She had summoned the old servant

his heart,
Eyes, Miss Florence-anything."
Maxwell looked keenly at him a few
minutes, and seemed satisfied.

Ralph's face showed that he clearly

to obey exactly, and then gllded noise
iessly out of the room. Maxwell agar
turned to Florence who seemed some

John Maxwell did not answer the de-

heart. 1t was a short but careful ex-

New Zealand has a law, recently
enacted In the interest of honest dairy
products, says Breeders Gazette. One
clause provides that lin every case
where dairy produce Is condemned by
an inspector he shall at the cost and
expense OF the owner, cause the same
to be removed to boiling down works,
soap works, or other pl..ce where such
produce shall be so treated as to be
absolutely unfit for human consump-
ton" Evidently they are far behind
the times in New Zealand. In this
country our "axle grease" is renovated
and made into process butter" and
sold without let or hindrance as pure.
fresh butter. This is the up-to-date
way. But little of tho old-fashloned
honesty behind the New Zealand law
would be gladly welcomed here. All
efforts to secure the sale Of imitation
goods on their merits encounter the
determined opposition of the manufac-
turers and vendors of the substitutes
and courts are lending themselves to
constructions Of the law which render
Its plain provisions imperative.

Rllnne na Horse Food.

In view OF the scarcity OF good for
age crops on many farms, an expert
ment by the Virginia station on feed
ing corn silage to horses Is worth not
ing Tho test was made with two
horses and six mules. The animals
were given small amounts OF silage for
some weeks before the test proper.
After the preliminary period they were
fed for six weeks all the sllage they
would eat, with hay and corn In add
ton. 1t was concluded that the sllage
was not as readily eaten by horses as
by cattle, and that horses after becom-
ing accustomed to sllage, eat no more
than they can easily assmilate. Some
trouble has been reported in feeding
silage to horses. 1t Is believed this
may be attributed to feeding too large
quantities. As whole 1t would appear
that silage would make good coarse
fodder for horses when used in con-
nection with hay or stover and grain,
but that the animal should become ac-
customed to the food by degrees, and
that this Is as important as when
changing from old to new corn, or
from hay to grass.

Some people make a great fuss about
breaking up sitting hens, when 1t Is
not desired to have them sit. We have
known birds doused with water several
times a day and other barbarities
perpetrated; but we have never known
any OF these methods to succeed.
Dousing with water does have the eff
feet of making the poor creatures UNI
comfortable, especially in winter time,
but the maternal instinct rises supe-
rior to cold or even Ice water. 1t Is
cruel to use such harsh measures, at
least when It Is a well established
truth that they cannot succeed. 1t is
very easy to break birds Of the desire
to sit, II they be taken in time. Sim

other broody hen or even alone. This

/ 81 the Joint resolution OF July 4, 1855
Does that resolution incorporate Il,
Hawaiian Islands into the Units
simply extend the sovereignty and co
minioa Of the United States over II.
Islands without making them a par
Of the United States for customs pus
poses, The solution Of this question
depends wholly upon the language D
the joint resolution in question
The joint resolution does not max:
the Hawaiian Islands q part Of Il.
United States for customs purposes
~On the contrary. il expressly pro-
yices that until legislation shall be en-
acted extending the United States Gus
toms laws and regulations to the Ha-
waiian Islands the existing custom:
regulation Of the Hawaiian Islands
with the United States and other CORR
tries shall remain unchanged
The meaning of Congress is thus ex-
pressed in plain and unanmbiguous Ian
guage IL is claimed, however, thai
this provision is unconstitutional be-
cause by the same resolution said ces-
sion Is accepted, ratified and confirmed
and that the said Hawaiian Islands and
their dependencies be, and they are
hereby. annexed as part of the terri
tory of the United States. and are sub
ject to the sovereign dominion thereof.
In this portion Of the resolution
there is no specific mention of customs
relations but it Is construed by the
protestants as providing absolutely for
the Incorporation Of the Islands into
the United States for all purposes
whatsoever, including customs.
They apparently rely upon the ex-
preston as part of the territory Of
the United States, but the words imme-
diately following these-'and are sub
ject to the sovereign dominion there
of'-imply with reasonable clearnesS
the purpose Of simply accepting the
sovereignty and not giving the Islands
a status as an integral part Of the Union
for all purposes.
Therefore, the utmost that can be
said on the importers side is that il
this clause in the resolution were the
whole Of 1t there would be doubt
as to the effect. 1t was to dispel this
doubt that Congress inserted the sub
sequent clause relating specifically to
customs duties.
mo rule Of law is more firmly es-
tablished than that, in ascertaining the
meaning of part of statute or other
instrument, every material part Of the
act or instrument must be considered.
Chief Justice Marshall expressed
this rule as follows:
That law is the best exposition of
itself; that every part Of an act is to be
taken into view for the purpose Of dis
covering the mind of the legislature,
and that the details Of one part may
contain regulations restricting the OK
tent of general expressions used in an
other part of the same act, are among
those plain rules laid down by common
sense for the exposition of statutes,
which have been uniformly acknow,-
edged
Chief Justice Fuller has also said:
Moreover, in arriving at the true
intention of Congress, we cannot treat
Section as if it constituted the entire
act, but must deduce the intention from
a view of the whole statute and from
the material Of it.
