Sick
Blood

Feed pale girls on SCOTS
Emulsion.
We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer

The fact that it is the best
preparation of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutrition, full of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
to why it does what it does.

Dairy Cows In Winter.
HOW AN OLD PENNSYLVANIA FARMER
CARES FOR AND FEEDS THEM.

1 have not the vanity to suppose that
my methods of winter dairying are,bet-
ter than the practice of others. l give
my experience for what it is worth. In
order to make dairying profitable, the
cows must have comfortable winter
quarters. know from personal expert
ence that cows kept in cold stable in
cold weather will eat nearly twice as
much fodder and grain as the same cows
would if kept in warm stables, and will
not give so much milk. When COW is
suffering with the cold, her back hump
ed up like a camers, she is not in the
proper condition of body or frame Of
mind to secrete much milk, and so she
doesn't do it.
Our stables are in the basement of the
barn, and are so warm that the COWS are
more comfortable in them during the
cold weather than in the field in summer
when tormented by flies. 1t is notsonly
a pleasure and duty to keep the depend
ent creatures cheerful and happy but
the kindness pays in shackles of gold.
Cows well cared for are profitable board
ers, and never jump their board bills.
Cows cannot make milk without an am
pie supply of the proper food to make
it from.
When corn is cut and shocked st the
right time, and the stalks are we'll pre-
served, they make the fodder most in
favor with our cows, and clover lay is
their second choice. Our corn Is cut
and shocked as soon as the kernels are
glazed and while the stalks and leaves
are still green and full of sweetness.
The shocks are so we'll bound that moth
ing but hurricane will blow them down.
The corn is husked as soon as it will do
to crib, and the stalks are drawn to the
barn as soon as dry enough to keep from
moulding. Such stalks run through a
cutter make fodder good enough for
kings cows, and the cheapest fodder in
the world-ensilage not excepted. The
only possible advantage ensilage can
have over it is the succulence, or moist
ure, of the ensilage, and this advantage
can be paralleled by feeding pumpkins,
small apples, potatoes and rutabagas
once a week. The corn is husked and
ground, and the meal mixed with wheat
bran or buckwheat bran for the grain
feed.
The next best fodder for cows is clover
hay, but the clover must be cut when
the blossoms are red, and before it falls
down and begins to rot, and great pains
should be taken to have the hay well
made by being dried mostly in the cock,
and not burned by the sun until the stems
are stiff as pOkers and all the leaves fall
off in handling. In winter our cows are
fed ration composed of one-half wheat
or buckwheat bran and the other half
(by weighU of meal made by grinding
corn, rye and oats together in equal
quantities-each cow receiving four
quarts of the mixture twice day. They
are let out once day and watered.

Beverley cross questioned her from
every possible point of view. He was
fascinated with the mystery, but she
gave him nothing out of which the
least further light could be drawn. A
half breed woman, it seemed, had been
her Indian foster mother, silent
grave, watchful guardian from whom
not hint Of disclosure ever fell. She
was moreover Christian woman who
had received her conversion from an

must needs try to batter the wall down

now he clutchcd the thought that Alice
was not mere child Of the woods. but a

With coat buttoned close against the

to which youth in all climes and times
