OF Contagious Blood Poison never exis-
ted. 1t is always bad, though sometimes
no external symptoms of the disease APP
pear for long time.
Because the disease is slow in devel-
oping does not indicate that the case is
a mild one, for the poisonous virus at
work in the blood and system may be
spending its force upon some internal
vital organ while you are looking for ex-
ternal signs Contagious Blood Poison
does not affect all alike. In most cases
the first little sore is quickly followed by
painful swellings in the groins, red
eruption upon the body, sores or ulcers
i'll the mouth and throat, unsightly copper
colored blotches, loss of hair and eye
brows and other symptoms of this lniser
able disease When the poison is thus
fighting its way to the surface, exposing
the disease III all its hideousness, we call
it a bad case; but Contagious Blood Poi

S. S. S. is the only remedy that cures
Contagious Blood Poison thoroughly and

A Freak Tree.

Probably one of the most remarkab BILE
curiosities in the world is the twin tree
growing in the province of Loire, south
ern France This marvellous freak Of
nature consists OF two healthy trees
some twenty feet high, with brilliant
foliage, the top one actually growing
upon the lower.
A cavity was formed in the upper
trunk Of the bottom tree. which was
filled with decaying bark and the ac-
cumulated dust and debris of years.
This became sort of bed. from which
sprang the roots and in time produced
the upper tree. Contrary to all the
laws of horticulture, the life of the tree
has not been injured in the least by it's
parasite companion on top.
The top tree is lime, and the peas
ants in the neighborhood make occa-
sional pilgrimages to this tree. as they
make sort of tea from the buds of the
lime, which. they say, on account Of its
peculiar growth and situation, has
mysterious and beneficial powers If i'm
bibed.
The lime is firmly rooted in the lower
tree, having withstood the ravages OF
the wind for years, and seems to be
nourished as we'll as if it were growing
in the natural soil of the earth.

FOODS AND MILK.
Experiments Made by British Dairy
Farmers Association.

Experiments Made by British Dairy
Farmers Association.
The effects of different foods on the
quality of milk is one of the most i'm
portant questions of interest to dairy
men. If we expect rich flow of milk.
common sense will teach us to feed
that which will produce milk. The
journal of the British Dairy Farmers
association gives the following review
Of the results of experiments:
That when a cow is in full milk and
full flesh she will give her normal quail
ity of milk for at least limited time
even though the quality and quantity
Of food be very deficient
That when in good condition a cow
will take off her body whatever is de-
ficient in food in order to give her nor
NAL quality of milk.
That an extra supply of nutritious
food at all times increases the quality
of milk, but the percentage of fat is
not in any way improved by it, if any
thing the tendency being rather the
other way.
That an extra supply of nutritious
food almost invariably very slightly in
creases the solids, not fat, of the milk.
That a ration poor in food ingredi-
ents has a very slight tendency to re-
duce the solids. not fat, in the milk. but
has little appreciate effect on the fat.
That with poor ration COW in full
weight will lose carcass weight, while
on rich diet she will gain weight.
That although the percentage of fat
in a cows milk may vary daily, we at
present seem unable to control these
variations or to account for them.
That for limited periods up to one
month or Whereabouts all ordinary
quantities and qualities of foods seem
to have no material effect on the quail
ity of the milk.
That the only food which seems to
have had any material effect on the
percentage OF. butter in the milk is an
excess of brewers grains.
That very succulent grass has had
only very trifling effect in altering
the percentage of fat.
That most foods convey some flavor
to the butter, but scarcely any of them
will alter it's percentage in the milk.
That some foods exercise a material
effect in raising the melting point of
butter.
That the aim of all producers of
milk, butter or cheese should be to
feed what will give quantity in mod
crate amount and of mixed nature,
and the produce will be the best that
the cow can give.
That extra quality must be looked
for by improving the breeds and judi
cious selection rather than by any spe-
cial foods or methods of feeding.
That the variations in the percentage
of fat in a cows milk are caused by
something, but what that something is
we at present do not know, though if
we did we might be able to influence
the quality.

Cold storage and process butter have
done more toward fixing the price Of
butter than we perhaps thought while
confronted with the oleo fraud, says
Creamery Journal That oleo has been
mighty competitor we all know to
OUR sorrow. 1t has hurt us in hurting
the butter market, and it has hurt our
feelings sorely because it's competition
was one of fraud. But there is le-
Ultimate competition or a legitimate
factor in leveling prices in cold storage

made in the winter had no competitor.
but held butter from the farms, things
were all favorable to the creamery,
and forty cent butter in winter was &C
cepted AS a legitimate thing.
Farm butter, which was drug at
6 to 8 cents pound in summer, went
with a rush in. winter at 25 cents.
Farm butter Is worth more when made
and less when held. but this is again
modified by the demand from the proc
ess butter men. More than half the
butter is still made on the farm, but
the comprehensive scale upon which
it is now processed, cleaned, made at
tractive to sight and to palate is a
prominent element in modifying the
market for all butter, creamery includ-
ed This is why we cannot figure out
the effect of antioleo legislation to dec
inal fractions or even within a few
cents.
Cold storage and process factories are
with us to stay. Winter dairying is
here to stay, but the profits of winter
dairying are cut down and the business
partially held in check by these two
legitimate rivals, these Jewelers. of
prices Well for us all is it that we
have the oleo crowd by the hip. 1t is
also well-yes, imperative-tha we
keep them within legitimate bounds.
Good Advice.
.'Buy no .preservatives' to use in
milk, in cream, in cider, in canned
or conserved fruits or in anything
else that is to be used for food"
very appropriately remarks the New
York Farmer Personalities pre-
vent digestion at the same time they
prevent the bacterial transformations
that constitute souring or putrefaction.
What is 'preseryatiyed' is poisoned so
far as it's food value is concerned. Milk
and cider and cream and butter and
cheese and meat and fruit that cannot
spoil under exposure to the air at the
ordinary temperature cannot be digest
ed. and therefore all such 'doctored'
things are utterly unfit for food. No
farmer should invest in 'preservatives'
Of any kind. The laws of most of the
states are against the use of preserva-
tives, and 1t Is right that they are.
Obey the laws"

Some Garter Customs.

1t was a common custom with our
forefathers to wear the carriers of a
pretty maiden either on the hat or
knee, says the New York Press Brides
usually wore on their legs a host of
gay ribbons, to be distributed after the
marriage ceremony among the bride
groom's intimate friends. The piper at
the wedding dance never failed to tie
a piece of the brides garter around the
stem OF his bagpipe The Lombard
country girls used to wear dagGers in
their carriers.

The Suicide Problem.

The prevalent belief that suicide is a
product of the higher civilization is
contradicted by the fact that in India
suicides by opium are committed by
the natives fer the most trivial rea-

because husbands complain of their
dinners. There are no regulations for
into bazaar and buy as much as he

Alternating Foods.
A ration containing the proper food
elements can sometimes be given by
using one rough feed and one grain
feed only and fair results be obtained,
as when alfalfa hay and bran are the
feeds used, but best results are secured
when a variety is given, says an ex-
change. 1t is well also to have variety
both in roughness and in grain. A mix
ture of two grains will produce high
er yield than the same amount of food
given in one grain. and four or five or
even more kinds of grain mixed togeth-
err will usually give better results than
two, although the bulk of the mixture
is made of one grain. Small additions
of a number of feeds flavor the mixture
and make it more appetizing. For this
reason a cow will eat more and yield
more in PROPORTION to what she eats.
form any large portion of the dairy
cows ration. but cows like this feed,
and it is frequently profitable to add a
handful of ground oats to the grain ra-
ton of each meal, as it makes the whole
feed taste better, and when cows relish
their feed it adds to the yield.

A dairy with thirty to forty cows
should net the owner pretty fair liv-
ing and something Of balance to in
crease the bank account. But to ac-
complish this silo is almost essential
for storing up winter food, says S. l..
Wasting in American Cultivator. A
silO built for about this number of
cows should cost from 500 to 5000 to
build, good deal depending upon
whether you build one square or round.
A square silO 16 feet by 16 by 30 feet
should approximately hold 145 to $50
tons Of ensilage. If all this is kept in
fine condition, it will supply ample food
for winter and the COWS will give more
milk than if fed simply hay and grain.
The succulent nature of the ensilage
tends to satisfy the cows and to in
crease the milk supply.
The question of how much ensilage
should be fed day to cattle in winter
has been variously estimated, but prob
ably forty pounds per head per day
comes about as near to the average of
good feeding as we can make. One
may easily figure out on this basis how
many COWS can be supported on the en-
silage put away. One large silo will
give better results than two or three
small ones. If the cows number only
thirty, the size mentioned above should
answer the purpose and for every ad-'
ditional ten COWS increase the dimen-
siOns by about two feet in each direc-
ton. A silo much larger than 80 feet
is unwieldy, and it is better then to
construct two. In making estimates
for the above allowances are made for
some summer feeding, for there is
hardly a season when a portion of it
does not run short of food. Good en-
silage then comes in handy to supple
ment the wornOut pastures. 1t is al
ways well to have surplus rather
than deficiency.
Effect of Feeds on Butter.
Gluten meals and feeds tend to make
butter soft, while cOttonseed meal has
the opposite effect, says American Ag-
riculturist. Properly mixed, these feeds
will tend to counterfeit each other.
Cornmeal is relatively expensive, but
it's good effects on the quality of butter
will warrant the use of a small pro-
portion. The following ration is sug
gested: The grain should be mixed in
bulk as follows: Wheat bran, 400
pounds; gluten feed, $50 pounds; cot
tonseed meal, 100 pounds; cornmeal,
100 pounds.
This may be fed by measure after
weighing four quarts to determine the
weight of given bulk. The grain
feeds should be fed twice daily ON the
silage, and the hay should be fed after
all other feeding night and morning.
No noon feed is necessary, provided as
much is fed as otherwise.
