Beans For Milk Cows.

Beans have not been much used for
cow feed, but where they have been
used they have appeared to give very
excellent satisfaction. They carry about
% per cent Of digestible protein, SO per
cent of digestible carbohydrates and IA
per cent digestible fat. Just how much
of these steamed beans could be fed
without injuriously affecting the prod
uct is perhaps problem, but commenc-
ing in a moderate way one might in
crease gradually until the daily allow
ance reached nearly or quite four
pounds. We think it would be a good
plan to mix some wheat bran with the
beans. We do not think it advisable to
get along with only silage for rough
age. The cow seems to crave more or
less dry forage in connection with ST.
lage or even with best pasturage.

Raising the Calf.

To be sure, new milk. fresh milk, can
be given for four weeks, but most dairy
farmers do not feel that they can raise
calves upon such expensive foods,
writes III. e. Cook in Rural New York
er. Let me say here that calf that
is not worth two or three quarts of
new milk daily for two weeks after
birth is not worth raising, and upon
these vigorous young things a daily ra-
ton as mentioned above, supplemented
with whey when at hand, or boiled
mixture of oats, corn and linseed meal
in a proportion of three, three, one, will
make a growth. While not as salts
factory as one would wish when milk
is at hand, a growth will follow which
will produce medium sized animal at
two years, ready to take a place in the
dairy.

The subject of hand separators
formed the text Of an interesting ad-
dress delivered at a recent meeting OF
the Canadian Dairymen's association
by Professor II. II. Dean, one Of the
officials of the Ontario Agriculture col
lege at Guelph. After explaining the
principles upon which the machine
works Professor Dean went on to deal
with the ADVANTAGES of the separator
and in this connect on said: Zone of the
chief benefits of 4 hand separator III
the private dairy IS that it is a cleanser
of milk. If you lake what is supposed
to be clean milk and run it through g
separator, you viii be amazed at what
will come out of the milk. This is an
important factor in favor Of the use OF
separators, as clean, pure cream means
better butter.
ga second advantage is that it en-
ables the private dairyman to get more
of this better class Of cream and thus
make more and better butter A third
gain to the farmer is that it gives him
a better quality of skimmilk."

when Frenchmen We're Germans.

When Frenchmen Were Germans.
The name of France is derived from
the Franci, or Franks, people of Ger
many who seized that part of the
country nearest the Rhine and settled
there. Later on they subdued Paris
and made that the royal seat of their
increasing empire.
The origin of other geographical
names is interesting and will serve to
enlighten us when we read of, for in
stance, Hibernia for Ireland. Hibernia
is said to be derived from a Ph9ni-
clan word meaning "farthest habita-
tion." there being no country known to
them west of Erin.
Portugal obtained its name from Por-
to, the haven or port where the Gauls
landed their stores. This is OpOrto,
called by the Portuguese 0 Porto (the
port. The town was given as dowry
to Teresa when she married Henry de
Lorraine. who styled himself Earl of
Portugal because the place was known
as the portus Gallorum fhe port of the
Gauls). The name was finally extend
ed to the whole country.
Russia took it's denomination from
the Rossi, or Russi. people of the
south of Russia, who possessed them
selves of the country in the declining
days Of the Greek empire. Being the
predominant inhabitants, they imposed
their name on all the rest.

Humor the Customer.

Color the butter to suit the market
and put it in with clear conscience,
for there is no deception or fraud about
it. 1t is simply making it more attrac-
tive to the eye. says an Ohio dairy wo-
man in Farm and Home. We sell our
butter to private customers and furnish
it as fresh. as possible, give liberal
weight and ,cheerfully humor any pc
culiar ideas about sadness and color.
The buyer has right to have his taste
consulted.

Power of Expression.

Our language has wonderful power
of expression. On one occasion, we are
told, a doctor of divinity rang the
changes on ''He that hath ears to hear
let him hear" "He that is accessible
to auricular vibration" said the doctor,
''let him not close the gates of his tym-
pana."
Then, again, we have that old fash
toned saying "The more the merrier'
delightfully."- translated in this way:

most provocative of cachinnatory hi.

Crabs anl HOLSTERS,

There are many curious points about
crabs and Holsters Every one of
either genus is provided with big
claw for crushing and a small claw
adapted by it's shape for cutting as
scissors do. With these two claws
they tear the food they capture into
fragments and feed themselves liter
ally from 'hand to mouth" But there
is every reason to suppose that the
claws are intended quite as much fol
fighting as for eating purposes, mas
much as such powerful hands are not
needed for deyouring the soft food they
prefer

Alfalfa For Dairy Cows.

Alfalfa is a profitable crop for New
Jersey dairymen to grow for soiling
crops, says New England Homestead.
Five crops in a season have been cut:at
the New Jersey experiment station at
New Brunswick, where it is preferred
to bran, as it can be grown and thus
saves the money bran costs, while it is
10 per cent richer in protein.

ItShould not be forgotten in compound
ing a ration that the stomachs of differ
ent classes of animals vary in relative
size, says Hoard's Dairyman. The COW
has very capacious receptacles for food,
showing that she is fitted to consume
relatively more coarse fodder than 9th
er animals, and hence in arranging her
feed regard should be had both to bulk
and the proper distribution of the NIL
example, twenty pounds of timothy
hay or ten pounds of corn will furnish
practically equivalent amounts of nu-
triment, but the COW will not thrive on
corn alone because of the defective di-
gestion consequent upon failure prop
erly to distend her stOmachs and sub
divide the concentrated food.
Those OF us who belong to the gener-
alton that went Through the war" re-
member that ''roughage'' was quite as
essential as grain for the continued
well being and endurance of the ami
mails. The prescribed army ration for
the horse contains practically an equal
cow, under ordinary conditions, we
think it best to have about two-thirds
of the dry matter in roughage and one
third in grain. When feeding heavily
for rapid increase Of weight or extra
flow Of milk, this proportion cannot be
maintained, but the roughage should
not be materially decreased
An Average Ration.
After cows due to freshen soon have
had their calves we should consider
the following combination a very good
average ration for the entire herd, in
GLIDING those which are to freshen in
the spring. OF course such cows will
need, less feed than those that have
recently freshened, and one must APP
portion the feed according to the abil-
ity of each COW to respond: Twenty
pounds of hay, four pounds of bran
and four pounds of buckwheat mid
dlings. In the absence of buckwheat
middlings use the same amount Of
gluten feed or, what would be still bet
ter, if the middlings cannot be obtain
ed in quantities to last all winter give
day. Those that give more will need
two pounds of each per day instead Of
four pounds of either.
Ration For HoIstein Grades.
We should suppose that an average
daily allowance for grade Holstein
cows would be about forty pounds of
the silage, ten pounds Of the mixed
hay, four pounds of the bran and three
pounds of the gluten feed. This GER
tainly ought to suffice for cows giving
less than twenty pounds of milk per
Gay. Those that give more will neeG
| perhaps an increased allowance Of
! grain.

An Important Disco very.

An important archaeological dis covery was recently made at the Rom- an forum under the Via Sacra front ing the temple of Antonius-a pre- historic cemetery, which must have been the last resting place of the Sa- bine shepherds who lived on the northern bank of the morass destined to become the Roman forum. It consists of rudely constructed graves tenented by fragmentary skeletons, which must be more than 26 centuries old, and will surely prove an inter- esting study to anthropologists. The bones, especially the skulls, have been photographed and then carefully col- lected.

A Negro's Bloody Deed.

A negro desperado named Baldy Taylor murdered E. R. Hughes, fla tally wounded H. c. Fisher, slightly E. w. Schudy and was himself mortally wounded on a Deckerville passenger train between Luxora and Osceola. The victims of the negro were all prominent business men of eastern Arkansas, and the murderer had not the least provocation, as proven by eyewit- nesses. Taylor entered the coach for whites with two female compan- ions and in an insolent manner told the women to take seats. MT. Hughes quietly spoke to Taylor, inform ing him that be was in the wrong car. The negro became greatly en- ragged and with an oath drew A. calibre revolver and fired at Hughes, who fell and expired in short time. As Hughes sank to the floor Fisher, who was sitting in the same seat, got his pistol out and both he and the desperado fired at the same time. Fishers aim was good, Taylor re- ceiving wound in the side, but he succeeded in firing a shot that slightly wounded Schudy. The train crew barricaded the doors to the car and secured Taylor, who was placed in jail at Osceola. When the news of the tragedy became known a crowd assembled for the purpose of lynching Taylor, but when they reached the jail they found that he
 had died from the wound received
 in the bloody battle he precipitated.

THE MAN WHO SLAVES.
Some Suggestions Which Will Prevent
 Trouble.

Trouble.
 Shaving is practiced by nearly every man, but is properly done by very few. Ifyou are often shaved by a barber you should select one who does not rub his hand hard over your face, as a great many do, to ascertain whether you have been closely shaven. This will irriate the skin very easily and make Jumps appear. Very often, barber has gone over your face once with razor and in fin ishing the shave he will give your face an upward stroke with the palm of his hand, using pressure between each stroke of the razor, to see that no patches of beard remain.
 After a shave, advises the Balti- more American, you should be very careful to keep your hands away from your face, as the skin is more tender than at any other time. If you shave yourself you should have your razor honed at least three times year, to keep it in good order. You should also have good strop, with canvas part, for rough sharpening as we'll as a smoothing strop.
 In buying strop it is well to have barber select it, then you will be sure to get good one.
 Before shaving, it is we'll to wash the face in soap with warm water, as there are apt to be germs in the least bit of dust or anything that might be on your face. One cannot be too careful about this, for cut of the razor. ever so small, is apt to make an ugly sore if the skin is not perfect ly clean. A wash before shaving will also soften the beard.
 All men should learn to use both hands in shaving Many attempt to shave both sides of the face with one hand and usually succeed in cutting themselves. In fact, many men cut themselves whenever they attempt to shave. This difficulty could be overcome if both hands were used. The face should be well lathered with shaving soap, kind that does not dry quickly, then the father should be well rubbed in the beard with the tips of the fingers, which softens it to such an extent that one does not have to contend with the razor pulling, which not only hurts severely, but irritstes the skin.
 In cold weather the skin should be thoroughly sponged in warm wa ter and afterward in cold water, which keeps the face from becoming chapped. Before the face has been dried little witch hazel should be rubbed on. Then, after wiping this off, talcum powder is good. In case of a cut it is we'll to have piece of alum at hand, which, if you dampen and apply to the cut, will close it uE quickly, so that, if small, it cannot be seen.
 After you have finished using the razor it should be washed, then dried until not damp spot remains, then sharpened on the strop before put ting back in the case. If these direc tions are followed you will find that il is not such disagreeable ordeal to go through with in shaving yourself You will also save time and barbers bills.
