While not ideal, a good ration can be had from wheat straw, bran and cot tonseed meal in the following propor- tions for a days ration per COW, says Professor D. H. Otis of the Kansas ex- pertinent station: Twenty pounds wheat straw, seven pounds of bran and four pounds cottonseed meal.
 A COW fed on this ration ought to give a good flow of milk. The amount of cottonseed meal Is a little large, all though some dairymen use much larger quantities. If the COW shows any bad effects from it's use, the amount can be decreased and If necessary the amount of bran increased. Tie objection to the above is tie cost, but this objection ap- plies to almost any ration this year. In feeding the dairy COW, especially when feed is high, 1t is well to keep an accurate account of tie yield of m.ii.:, and just as soon as tie cow ceases to pay for her feed the amount of feed that COW giving a small or medium yield of milk does not need the same amount of feed as a COW giving a large flow of milk.
 Cottonseed HuIls.
 When alfalfa can be had for $14 per ton, a man cannot afford to pay over S6 for cottonseed hulls. The latter are very poor in protein, containing only three-tenths of per cent, while alfalfa has 10.e per cent. In feeding cottonseed hulls the Tennessee experiment station found 1t advisable to feed as high as 15 pounds daily per 1000 pounds of live weight. This experience, as well as the composition, indicates that cottonseed hulls are not a very concentrated feed and to get good results must be fed in large quantities. At S10 or more per ton this feed would be entirely too ex- pensive to feed dairy cows.
 Protein For n Cow.
 A COW weighing 1000 pounds re- quires pound of protein a day to keep her in normal condition. If she is giv- ing 20 pounds of milk per day, she re quires about 215 pounds of it.

How can that food be sup piled at least cost2 It is quite possible for every farmer to have each COW give 5000 pounds of milk a season at a cost of only 50 to 60 cents per 100 pounds. have reduced the cost of producing milk to 40 cents per hun dred. Farmers are losing daily what If properly applied means wealth to them, and increase in wealth, If properly used, Is increased happiness. The bal anced ration that Is costing you 24 cents day per COW can be had for cents by studying out the requirements of your cows and by loading them both ways. Our railways and steamships act on that principle. claim that cows should give coco pounds of milk Der season. I feed meal every month of the year to my cows because 1t reduces the cost of keep and increases production.

TAss SfI1ieut Birds.

Dodo Is the Portuguese name for simpleton, and it is given to the silliest bird that ever lived. Three hundred years ago, when the Portuguese first visited the island of Mauritius, they found a large number of these birds. They were about the size of a large swan, blackish gray in color and hay ing only a bunch of feathers in place of a tail and little, useless wings More stupid and foolish birds could not be imagined. They ran about mak- ing a silly, hlssing noise like a goose, end the sailors easily knocked them over with their paddles. They couldn't fly, they couldn't swim, they couldn't run at any great speed, and, as for fighting, they were the greatest cow ards in the world. They were much too stupid to build a nest, and so they dropped an egg and went or to let it hatch as best it could.

The Cctentin One of the oldest
 Breeds of Europe.
 The Cotentin is the noblest breed of French cattle It is one of the oldest breeds of Europe. Though the blood of the Cotentin Is widespread all over Flu rope, yet the center of greatest produc- ton Is confined within the area of the departments of Eure, Manche, Calyados and Orne. This strain of blood of Nor mandy cattle Is most noted for butter and beef excellence combined, says a correspondent of Kansas Farmer. They combine the qualities of the Jerseys. the Guernseys and the Shorthorns, for the Cotentin Is the progenitor of the two former and furnished blood ele- ments of the latter in its admirable beef superiority. The milking tendency in a portion of the Shorthorns is also directly traced to the Norman. for Nor

In the Wake of the Ark.

But follow the ark, and it will lead
 you to rivers of consolation. You will find that your child has gone into
 heaven of children, land where chill dren are in vast majority, a score of infant souls to one manly or womanly soul, for the vast majority of the race die In infancy. It is the exception when people live to grow up. Heaven great playground for children. Pal aces for kings and queens? Oh, yes! But what wide halls of pleasure, what gardens of delight, what raptures, such as on earth with ball and kite and hoop they never felt! Let them go, mother.

 more knowledge than I have now, I
 will discharge my earthly duties better
 than can now discharge them. I do
 not give solemn farewell to these obli-
 gations and opportunities, but smil-
 ing and cheery goodby until see them

 will be no new and corrected edition of
 the volume of our earthly life. After
 we make exit from the stage at the
 close of the fifth act we cannot re-en-
 ter. How many millions of people have
 lived and died I know not, but of all
 the human race who have gone only
 seven persons that I now think of have
 returned, the son of the widow at
 Zarephath, the young man of Main, the
 rulers daughter, Tabitha, Eutychus,
 Lazarus and Christ. Among all the
 ages to come I do not suppose there
 will be one more who will return to
 this life, having once left 1t.
 Put Your Trust In God.
 At this point ask you to notice the fact that my text does not call atten- ton to the crossing of the Jordan, but to the way leading thereto. We all think much of our crossing of the Jor- dan when the march of our life Is end ed, but put too little emphasis on the way that leads to the crossing. What you and I need most to care about is the direction of the road we are trav- cling. We need have no fear of the crossing If we come to 1t in the right way. In other words. we need not care about death if our life has been what 1t ought to be. We will die right | if we live right.

will be affected by the increased produc-
ton when the recently set trees reach
maturity. The Kieffer pear business can
be OverdOne, just as other kinds of fruit
have been, and it may be we'll to go IL
little slow until the capacity Of the mar
ket to consume immense quantities of
this pear has been demonstrated.
One Of the results of the Kieffer craze
is the increased demand for Bartletts and
Lawrence at improved prices, the acre
age of these varieties declining as that
of the Kieffer increases. While the out
look for good future market for Kief-
fers is uncertain, it may be that the man
who puts his faith in the good old Bart
lett, will come out best in the long run.
1t is certainly well, when setting pear
orchard, to set good many Bartletts
among the Kieffers; alternate rows of
these varieties is II good plan. The
farmer thus has two markets to look to,
beside which the Bartlett is more pro-
ductivc when thus set, as it has cross
fcrtilizing of the blossoms. This matter
of pollenizing is of great importance, and
many a fruit grower who is discouraged
with the small crop of Bartlctts may
find the trouble is entirely from lack of
strong polleniZer varieties nearby. AS a

WhiSkey Medicines.

The temperance press is emphasizing
the danger to the home in the use of
medicines" which are loaded with
whiskey or alcohol. In this respect, as
well as in the remarkable character of
their cures, DIR. Picrce's medicines differ
from other preparations. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and "Favorite

or other iutoXicant, and are equally FREQ

THE KIEFFER PEAR.

well as for the heavy crops obtained
from fully maturcd trees. In most To-

against it some packers label their kicf

ABOUT PEACH TREES.

One of the best of the peach growers
finds rubbing the base Of the peach trees
with about two ounces of hard soap and
plugging all holes and injuries with the
same substance the best remedy for borer
wounds and against borer attacks. The
soap is food to the tree, and the borers
will not attempt to work through it. If
borers are already in the bark, they may
be easily removed with a sharp-pointed
knife.
The practice of covering peach trees in
winter, after the foliage is fallen, with
a lime wash, applied with sprayer, is
growing, the trees coming out the more
vigorous and cleaner.
