mer. End nearly Starvc during the rest
Of the sea on. They grow lean and weak
and their milk supply gets smaller AMI
thinner every week. and by the time fall
and winter comes they are pretty speci.
mems. \ farmer once told the writer
that he had tried summer dairying and
winter dairying. and there was money IN
neither. Upon investigation. it was
found that his system was to starve the
COWS in summer for winter dairying
and vice versa for summer dairying
The result was the animals never came
up to the mark because it took them half
the season to recover from the starva-
ton process.
Whether you intend 10 try winter
dairying or depend simply upon summer
dairying. 1t is necessary to have good
pasture through the summer. and in the
late summer and autumn it is necessary
TO help the pasture out. This is simpler
than many imagine. Sometimes it sim
ply means fencing off portion of the
hcld. so the grass has chance to grow
while the cows are feeding on the other
part Constant daily cropping in hot
dry weather kills the grass and keeps
the plants from ever getting any head
way. If the pasture field is sufficiently
large, fence part of it off in August. and
in this way keep it green and healthful.
Also be sure that the weeds and briers
are kept cut down. DO not let any
of these go to seed. Their spread will
ruin pasture lot quicker than anything
l he COWS do not disturb the weeds and
briarS. and consequently they have the
opportunity TO grow and thrive while
the grass has not. At least give the
latter fair chance in the race.
Help the pasture out with enSilage and
corn stover crops. Do not be sparing
with these even in summer. They may
save a good deal for the late fall pas
ture, which is oftentimes more valuable
to the dairyman than the early spring
and summer grass. A little system like
this will go a long way toward keeping
up the quality and supply OF milk and
cream, and at the same time preserving
the health of the animals for the fall
and winter work.-William Conway, in

management of its finances, so that he

what a lucrative post is the presidency

Most OF Gen. Crespo's money was in

three OF the most valuable plantations
near the city OF Caracas and two pal

and capable woman and exercised a
powerful influence over her husband
during his lie. He seldom took an
important step without consulting her
and her wishes and advice were usually

the government was about as complete

A RLNG OLE RArS

An extraordinary nest of rats wa. re
Gently discovered at the bottom of an
old well in Courtalaim, hamlet in
France. the peculiar feature about the
animals being that seven OF them were
joined together by their tails in such a
manner that it was impossible for them
to free themselves. The tips of the tails
were knottcd together and formed a
centre from which the bodies radiated.
They have been presented to the mu-
scum at Cha,caudun. where they are at
tracing much attention. A ring of
rat composed OF twenty seven ami
mails is preserved at Altenburg. and
other specimens have been discovered at
Bonn, Frankfurt. Erfurth and Lindcnau
near Lcipsic, and two rings were
found near Gotha in December. 1922.
one consisting OF twenty-eight and the
other OF fourteen animals.

She was going TO travel good deal
So ne was lett At home in care of MIR.
VIII, her brother. who often said in
his letters how we'll and FAT Dickv had
grown. Now. since she had got home
Miss Lefty noticed how thin and miser-
able the poor bird looked
She tried 10 make him fat again. c.aN-
ing him with dainty morsel, She never
saw him eat them. but somehow the food
dy appeared. and yet Dicky remained
thin and wretchcd. 1t was very mys-
ferrous. But at last She found out The
truth
One evening before the lamps were
In Miss Lefty came quietly up to Dicky's
cage which hung in the window He
did not notice her coming and she op-
cued her mouth to call TO him, when
she saw--what do you think?
Dicky squeezed up in fright against
the bars OF his cage in one corner. while
on the other side, gobbling away at poor
Dicky $ seed, great, long whiskered
rat!
The rat ate as fast as he could, look
ing up now and then to glare at Dicky
The poor canary was trembling with
fear and clinging with all his might to
the bars.
Miss Lefty was not a coward, but She
gave a loud scream at the sight. and
Mr. Rat as frightened as She. looscd
his hold on the seed cup and rushed
wildly about the cage. seeking a means
of escape AT last he gave a spring
through the door, which had been open
all the time and darted away
When Miss Lefty recovered from her
scare She marched out and bought a
trap and set it in the kitchen. Then She
carried Dcky into the parlor, where she
felt he would be safer from that wicked
old rat She knew now who had been
paying visits to Dicky all summer.
That night the old rat and his .on
were caught in Miss Lcttys trap and
later still another one. Dicky had no
more such calls He soon got over his
fright, forgot all about Mr.. Rat and his
friends, ate and bathcd regularly and

HOW THE EYE SEES IN READ
ING.

BY close study OF familiar things, sur
pri.ing facts about them often come to
light Professor Dodge, OF Wesleyan
University. by a number OF careful ex-
pcrimcntS, has made strange discovery
He declares that to see. the eye must
be motionlesS. Now that he has told us
Il IS easy TO under tand that this must
be true. You cannot take pictures with
moving camera, and the eye is only a
perpetual camera with sclf-rencwing
plates The eye must stop motion while
1t takes a picture.
In reading, therefore, the eye does not
move along the lines regularly. 1t
takes an impression, moves to a new
position. takes another still view. then
moves again. Thus the words are taken
by groups. Perhaps. following PROBES
Sor Dodgc's lead. some other clever ex-
perimenter will now tell MS just how
wide the lines OF print should be for the
easiest reading. Every one knows that
very long or very short lines are firing
so there must be right length When
The proper medium is found. the chan
ces are that we shall learn that the "old
masters OF the printing art had chosen
the best width for their pages.
One writer has argued that since we
see words and letters in whole groups
the new method OF teaching spelling
by entire words at tme-is the natural
method. But this does nor seem 10 fol-
low, since there are other questions to
De considered in deciding which is the

SCIENCE IN FEEDING.

Too much science in feeding cannot be
given, but some OF the advice relating
to feeding according to the live weight
of the animals is almost impossible on
some farms. The German tables call
for one and third per cent. of the live
weight of the animal, or about 10 pounds
of food per 1000 pounds of live weight
AS animals vary in weight while foods
also differ in quality, the labor required
to apportion the foods for the individual
animals would be too costly, and con
siderable time would also be lost.

THE TREATMENT OF ROUP.

During the season of cold rains and
chilly nights unless the poultry is well
guarded roup will likely result. The
first symptoms appear as Slight cold,
scarcely perceptible gasp in breathing.
which slowly develops and shows itself
IN inflammation of head and eyes. The
eyes begin to water. and the fowls rub
the sides Of their heads on their wings
IN an attempt to relieve them. AT this
stage roup may easily be cured. since
liberation has not set in. but if left to
itself cancerous substance will form
in the eyes and mouth. and nothing but
death will relieve them. When first no
ticed the fowls should be isolated and
placed in bright dry rooms, the head and
face washed with warm water and cas-
tile soap and Amounted with carbolized
vaseline. A little kerosene should be
injected in noStrlS. and this treatment
SHOULD be continued daily for two or
three days. Feed lightly and make them
work for their food.-HOme and Farm.
