IMPROVE THE HERD.
Some Hints for Dalrymen WhiCai, II
Followed, VIII Lead to Fortune
and Reputation.

Every cows milk should be weighed
night and morning and record kept
of the same. Get spring balance
that weighs 80 pounds; set back the
dial the weight of the milk pail; make
a blackboard at the barn ruled to ac-
commodate weeks milk record. The
mixer then has only to hang his milk
pail on the scales and record the re-
suit on the board-not two seconds
of extra work. Each week remove
the record to your dairy account book.
You will be surprised how the cows
will vary from your estimate of them.
AT the end of the year many COW that
required two pals to hold her milk
when flush will be found behind her
more modest sister who kept ever
lastingly at it. Now YOU can BEGIN
to Gull.
Discard every COW that goes dry on
her own notion. While every COW
should be dry six or eight weeks pre-
vious to calving, she should be forced
dry; she ought to be giving at least
Is pounds per day when You start in
to dry her up. Discard the COW with
short teats; she takes too much time
to milk; likewise the cow with dainty
appetite. The profitable dairy COW
should eat everything in sight. Every
year select the two most PROMISING
heifers to bring up to take the place
of the two poorest cows. Sires NAV
be bred to their own dauphters bu+
not to their granddaughter. A
change of sire is necessary at this
time. Get the very best you can buy.
Remember he is half the herd. and
if he is only common your herd will
go backward instead of forward.
Never breed to anything but a thor
oughbred sire and, above all, don't
cross breed. W. Helme, in Farm and
Home.

BAD FOR THE DIGESTION.
Tobacco Users Are More Prone to
stomach Troubles Than Are
other People.

One Of the most pernicious results
of the habitual use of tobacco is its
effect upon the digestive organs. The
nicotine taken into the system in the
process of smoking or chewing tends
to increase the secretion of fluids
from the surface of the throat and
intestines. All doctors agree upon
this point.
Smoking must therefore aggravate
the catarrhal affections which affi;ct
the greater part of the population of
the United States. Increases the flow
of mucus from the nose and throat.
II should therefore be avoided by all
who suffer from catarrhal troubles.
On account of its action in increas-
ing the flow of juices il is believed
that smoking after a meal aids di-
gestiCn. If this he 50 smoking at
other times must be extremely de-
structive to the digestive process.
Those who chew gum before dinner
find that when they come To eat and
try to chew dry food there is no sa
Iva to mix with il and they eat with
discomfort. In this ease exactly the
same thing has happened to the sail
vary glands that would happen to the
peptic glands if one were to smoke
before meals during the period of
rest for the stomach. for the gastric
glands would be emptied. the fluids
poured forth into the stomach under
the stimulation, not being retained IN
that organ by food to be digested,
and when food was finally taken the
peptic cells would he unable to pour
forth adequate solvents for the mass
and digestion would be delayed until
such solvents could he formed by the
forces of the body.
Meanwhile the food would be re-
tanned in the stomach in warm and
moist condition favorable for the de-
velopment of decomposition germs.
which must always be present in the
food we eat. The result of the de-
composition process is the production
of acids that are extremely irritat-
ing and cause the pains that are so
familiar to the dyspeptic. Not only
has the food been manufactured into
chemicals hostile to the organism,
but as far as future nutrition is con
cerned il is actually lost, for the
physiological cost of reducing these
decomposition products to available
forms for absorption and use is more
than the available heat that they can
supply 10 the body.
Thus intemperance in smoking may
be as disastrous as eltemperance in
drinking.-Chicago Chronicle.

Now the habitual drunkard is photo

True dairy expansion involves the
grading up of a herd not only by Sc
lection. but also by breeding There
is no question among intelligent stock
breeders but that animals which have
been bred and selected for years. and
even centuries. along dairy lines are
much better adapted to the economical
production of dairy products than
COWS of no particular breeding. With
all the feed and care that could be
given a herd of common COWS has av-
eraged only 27O pounds of butter per
annum. Herds of pure-blood and high
grade dairy animals are averaging as
high as $50 to 400 pounds of butter.
1t is possible by securing well-bred
males and by selection to grade up
a herd of common cows to excellent
producers in a comparatively short
time.
