The breeder must depend for the I'M
provement of his cattle and cows upon
inheritance and the system of feeding,
but many beginners who do not see
immediate results of a system of care
full breeding get discouraged and give
up. a great many criticisms of breed
ing results are thus voiced through dis
appointment. A good many times
calves inherit tendencies rather than
the actrnl gifts which their sires pos
sessed. and these tendencies require
cultivation and encouragement to de-
velop. Good breeding consists in rec
ognizlng such valuable tendencies and
In catering to them. But time is re-
qured In some instances to make them
at all consistent with ones ideas of
what they should he. In the lands of
good feeders and breeders dairy cows
are producing larger supplies of milk
and cream Milk rich in butter fats is
becoming more common and feeding
more economical A COW can be fed
to-day by a progressive dairyman at
much less cost than IT was possible ten
years ago. and yet feed is higher. This
is due to better balanced ration,
which means economy in cost on both
ends. 1t produces more results, and it
con be provided at less expense.
We have the breeds to-day which are
well adapted to beef or butter-making,
and these are becoming more common
on our farms every year. Their gen.
eral distribution argues well for the
future OF our cattle and dairy outlook.
But to keep up the potency of these
good breeds we must have the courage
of our convictions, and the patience
necessary to wait for results. We need
TO feed for q purpose. and to develop
tendencies which will provide us with
sure profits. Well-bred cows in the
hands of ignorant people are sure to
degenerate. and in time all their good
points will be neutralized. 1t is neces.
sary that we should have intelligence
in feeding to bring out the best that
there is In them. Educated men in
this line Of work will not only empha
size the value of the good breeds, but
they win raise standard of daiiyine
and beef raising n little higher eacl

The Sand Cure.

until another year--perhaps forever.
Few seem to realize how much OF
health-giving value there is in the sun
heated sand OF the seashore, not only
for the young, but for the middle
aged and the aged as well. The relief
afforded those suffering from rhcuma-

cine would be some protected corner
where the sunlight could pour upon
several loads Of clean sand. Here the

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Rectitude is a perpetual victory.
Self-trust is the essence OF heroism
Nature hates monopolies and excep-
tons.
Nature loves analogies, but not repe-
titions.
Men are respectable only as they
respect.
Obedience gives alone the right to
command.
Sincere and happy conversation dou-
bles our powers.
The beautiful rests on the founda-
tions of the necessary.
Ny creed is very simple-that good
ness is the only reality.
Omit the negative propositionsi nerve
us with incessant atiirmations.
Never mind the ridicule; never mind
the defeat; up again, old heart!
The disease with which the human
mind now labors is want Of faith.
The condition which high friendship
demands is The ability to do without it.
Prosperity and poundcake are for
very young gentlemen, whom such
things content.
The essence OF greatness is the per-
ception that virtue is enough; poverty
is its ornament.
The false prudence which dotes on
health and wealth is the butt and mer-

This is case Of catarrh of the stomach
which had run for twenty-five years, ac-
cording to his statement, and Peruna has
at once come to his relief promptly accom-
plishing for him more benefit than he had
been able TO find in all other remedies dur

1t stands to reason that man Of wealth

find a cure.
If such cures as these do not verify the
claim not only that dyspepsia is due to ca

will cure catarrh OF the stomach, it is i'm
possible to imagine how any evidence
could do so.

A Good InsectIoIde.

Kerosene emulsion is perhaps the
most generally used of all the contact
insecticides of its class. 1t is best pre-
pared as follows;
Take one pound Of whale oil soap
and boil in gallon of water until dis
solved. While hot add two gallons of
kerosene oil. Churn this mixture
through n force pump with nozzle Mt
tached, dividing the spray against the
wall of the vessel again. This process
should be kept up until the LIQUID mass
thiekens like butter. Then allow 10
cool, After cooling il should not sen.
arate If SO it must be boiled. more
soap added and churned again. Rain
water should be used or water made
soft by using lye. This forms what is
called the stock solution. Any good
lye soap will make the emulsion. but
whale oil soap is preferable. The stool;
solution may be diluted to any strength
for any given plant. The proportions
depend upon the tenacity of the insect
ana resistance of the plant.
lt must be remembered that this in.
secticlde kills by closing the breathing
spiraclos of insects and in a manner
suffocates them. Hence each indivId-
ual insect must be struck in the appli
cation OF this kind Of an insecticide
and 1t win be evident at once that un
less the very best nozzles are used, the
best designed force pumps employed

partial results viii follow. 1t is always
good practice to spray at frequent in
tervals for such pests as plant lice II

One application seldom ever sutnces /,

cides are necessary for all those insect,
which have puncturing mouth part
and which, therefore, do not take il
