Lansing. Mich, May 13.-Some lit
tie progress has been made toward
settlement of the differences be-
tween tue two houses over the rail
road Or tQ-.al taxation bill, and there
are goua reasons for believing that
still greater progress Will be made
this week. In fact, it need surprise
no one if the conference committees
get together on a mutually satisfac-
tory bill before adjournment Friday.
The senate committee has yielded TO
the extent of consenting TO have the
work OF assessing the property Of the
corporations done by the state tax
commission the membership Of which
shall he increased from three TO five,
thus abandoning their stand for an
entirely new and separate assessing
board. This is agreeable TO the house
committee. but the two committees
are still far apart as TO what corpora

BRAlN-FOOD NONSENSE,

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly no.
ton that one kind of food is needed for
brain, another for muscles, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet will not
only nourish a particular part of the
body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food may
be, its nutriment is destroyed by lndiges-
ton OF dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their coming
by taking regular doses of Green's Aug
ust Flower, the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids d.
gestion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifies the blood, and makes you
feel Duovant and vigorous. You can get

AN ENGLISH POTATO HARVESTER.

In England and is said to work salts
factorily is illustrated by The Rural
New Yorker, which says:
This machine digs, cleans, sorts and
delivers the potatoes into baskets. The
separator part works on the same prin-
ciple as the ordinary grain thrasher so
that those who use it may properly
speak of thrashing their potato crop.
There is apparently nothing to pre-
vent small stones or hard Jumps of dirt
from getting in with the tubers, and
the natural conclusion is that the ma
chine is intended only for use on soil
that is free from stones and not wet
or lumpy.
1t ought to work to perfection on the
prairie lands of the central west. and
If it should come into general use the
probabilities are that the bulk of the
potatoes could be grown on these
smooth lands on large scale at a
figure which could not possibly be met
by the small grower in the east, who
must depend largely on hand labor.

The difference between a girls throw
ing and boys is this-the boy crooks
his elbow and reaches back with the
upper part of his arm nearly at right
angles with his body, and the forearm
at about an angle of 10 degrees. The
direct act Of throwing is accom-
plished by bringing the arm back with
a sort of snap, working every joint of
the arm from shoulder to wrist. The
girl throws with her whole arm rigid,
the boy with his whole arm relaxed.
Why this marked and unmistakable
difference exists may be explained by
the fact that the collar bone in the fem
mime anatomy is some inches longer
and set some inches lower down than
in the masculine frame. The long,
crook, awkward bone interferes with
the full and free use of the arm. That
Is the reason why a girl cannot throw
a stone with any certainty of hitting
the object she intends to strike.-Fam-
lily Herald.

and have light iron band fitted on to
keep it from splitting or be a wheel

lar. a light wire spoke wheel from a

The axle on which the wheel revolves
Is attached to the under side of the

extend down level with the lower rim
of the wheel to act as feet. Put braces

THE BUFFALO DAIRY TEST.
A Point which II Has Suggested to
Well Known Dairyman.


Mr.. Edward Van Alstyne has In Ru-
raj New Yorker some interesting COM
ments upon "the six months battle of
the breeds" at the Pan-American. Aft
er stating that the cows were mot phe-
nomenar" nor their production so
large in either milk or butter as to be
beyond ordinary attainment" he dis
cusses the question, do cows need ex-
ercise or is entire stable feeding during
the summer desirable?" as follows:
l have very decided opinions OH this
subject, yet to prove conclusively the
first point from this test would be i'm
possible. l can only point to some sug-
gestive circumstances. Without doubt
not wasting energy in search of food
and perhaps took on more flesh. That
this practice Is to be commended for
breeding herd that is to go on for gen.
erations producing healthy and strong
offspring believe no careful student
of maternity will allow.
1t was source of perplexity to
those of us who handled the product
why a higher flavor could not be pro-
duced in our butter 1t seldom scored
over forty-two points for flavor, and
often in some of the churnings the fla
vor would be positively bad. this, too,
with milk strictly clean, handled in the
most approved manner and with the
best culture for starter. After careful
investigation along all lines we tested
the milk of each COW in jar by itself
and found that in many of the cows
the milk developed an odor plainly
brought about by indigestion. Some of
this doubtless was due to our feed, as
sixty pounds Of silage, with six pounds
of hay and ten or twelve pounds Of
grain, is more than the ordinary thou
sand pound cow can digest, particular
ly without exertion.
After the yard was built near the
barn for judging sheep the Jersey cat
tie for some time were allowed to run
In it for an hour or two at night. That
week their butter scored the highest in
the barn and the highest 1t had scored
for the season.
