Wonderful Lou Dillon.

Once more the worlds record has been
broken in the trotting world and the
marvellous performance of Lou Dillon
has placed her among the wonders of
the age. For many years the two-min.
ute mark has been the great ambition OF
breeders and horse men, and many has
been the man who has stoutly maintain
ed that this mark could never be reach
ed. Time and time again has DIR. Bal
lev of Portland staked his reputation
and his sacred honor that the two-min-
ute trotter was among the impossibilities
of the track. Many has been the ream
of paper that he has wasted in demon
strating that such result could never
be reached. All this time we have seen
the record crawling downward year by
wear. The mighty Cresceus came near to
the mark, but still the doubters said
that it could never be reached. There
were others whose faith never wavered
and who contended that as the blood
lines of speed were strengthened the
two-minute trotter would appear.
These men were correct in their judg-
ment and their reasoning. The task was
a herculean one but it has been perform
ed. Lou Dillon now stands at the head
and has demonstrated what careful
breeding and scientific training will do.
And who shall say that this is the limit?
We do not believe it and the Journal has
no hesitation in predicting that Lou Dill
lon will enjoy her honors only for
brief time. Still speedier trotters will
appear and her record will one day be
broken. This is a wonderful age and
the increase of trotting speed is not the
least among its marvels.-Lewiston Jour
nal.

Livestock at the Worlds Fair.
EQUAL CHANCE FOR THE DAIRY AND THE
FOR ENTRIES OR STALL RENTS.

The ''cow demonstration proposed as
one feature of the Worlds Fair cattle
exhibits at st. Louis next year has been
definitely arranged, and on q much
broader scale than anything of the sort
heretofore attempted. 1t has been de-
signated as a ''cow demonstration" be-
cause. while not in any way neglecting
the dairy test idea developed at former
worlds fairs. it is intended to illustrate
in comprehensive way the practical
adaptabilities of the pure bred cow.
The strictly dairy breeds are given op-
portunitieS to make large showing,
while features not conflicting with their
privileges enable the dual purpose breeds
to demonstrate their value for both
dairying and beef production. This
means a demonstration rather than q
competitive test, and will enable each
breed participating to show its own
peculiar advantages.
The Jersey, ShorthOrn, Brown Swiss
and French Canadian associations have
already entered. Entries will be per-
mitted from individuals on behalf of
other breeds if received before Decem
ber1 Prizes will be awarded to herds
and to individual cows, and entries Of
from five to twenty-five cows may be
made by representatives OF any one breed.
The same COW may compete for herd
and individual prizes.
The tests will continue one hundred
days, beginning on Monday. May IL,
1904, and will be conducted in four
classes, designated as Tests A, b, c and
d. Test A is for the demonstration
part of the economic production of but
ter fat and butter; B, of milk for all pur-
poses related to dairying; C, of all the
products of the cow, and d, for demon
Strating the greatest net profit in pro
ducing market milk. In Glass Q the calf
will be judged for its beef merits. A
cow may be entered in more than one

The Paae Chineae Wife.

A Chinese wife Is not exactly to be
envied, for she is under the authority
not merely Of her husband, but also OF
his mother. A book on Chinese et'
quette gives rules which show pretty
clearly how utterly subject woman
Is to her mother-in-law. Here are a
few Ct them: "When your mother-in.
law sits you should stand. Obey her
orders quickly. Rise early in the morn
Ing and open the doors quietly. taking
care to make no noise to waken her.
Hasten to prepare her toilet articles;
retire and prepare for tea. Take 1t to
her quickly and cheerfully. and. then
arrange the breakfast table. Place the
chopsticks straight, boil the rice soft,
and let the meal be thoroughly done.
Prepare the meals thus carefully thrice
daily. When darkness comes and your
great one desires to sleep. spread the
bed, when she may peacefully rest and
you may retire to your room."

Money-Making Feeding.

1t is not the heaviest feeding that is
always the most profitable. 1t is neces-
sary to take into consideration the tact
that the feed given should result in a
profit to the feeder. 1t is for this reason
that the man who feeds largely of grass
es as a balancer of the ration, reducing
the cost of the whole thereby, makes
good profits. You might buy more
costly feeds which would make heavier
gains, but would be less profitable, and
the profit is the end striven for in all OF
the feeding for the pork market. :,
The man who has reached the pork
market with his hogs costing as much as
the feed consumed has made failure OF
the business.
While pasture is a most excellent food
for the best gains, even when proht is
considered, it must be accompanied by
grain ration. Professor w. j. Kennedy
of the Iowa Experiment Station says:
sWhere the hogs have liberal ration OF
clover pasture and blue grass, with a
ration of corn, wheat and oats mixed, OF
about two parts corn, two parts wheat
and one part oats with per cent oil
meal, feeding in the form of thick slop,
it will give most excellent results.
This, he says, will give extra heavy
gains; but will not be as economical as a
ration which will make heavy gains and
at the same time economical, OF four
parts corn meal and one part tankage,
fed in the form of thick slop. This is
considered one of the best by him.

Cutting Grains for the Hay.

The cutting of the grains, oats, rye and
wheat for hay is practiced more largely
than many farmers imagine. Each year,
in some parts of the country, from one
cause or another, farmers who Keep
stock find their yields of timothy, red
top, meadow grass and other hay crops
very small, and all over the country
there is general report that the hay
crop is dwindling. This means dearer
roughage.
1t is easy to make up for the hay de.
ficiency by planting corn for silage, and
this practice is becoming more general,
especially in tho dairying regions.
Along with corn silage the COW pea,
alfalfa and other legumes and grasses
are being utilized for rOughsge, ana
wheat, oats and rye are largely used for
hay. 49,.
The proper time for cutting those
cereals for hay becomes an important
matter for farmers. Analyses OF the
grain stalks, leaves and seeds show that
the most available stage is secured by
cutting oats, wheat and rye just as the
seeds are fully formed and are yet in the
0milk stage" Then the fiber is in its
most digestible form. .,
If cut before this stage, there will DC
less nutriment in the dried forage. II
cut after the "milk" stage, there will
be a toughening and hardening OF the
forage that will render it largely indiges'
tible and uuattractive to stock. The
s.milk" stage means, therefore, the mos,
hay of the best quality possible WIZ
these grains.-Mirror and Farmer.

A Remedy For Snake Bite.

There is q most remarkable account
Of the exploring trip Of an orchid hunt
er named Andre through an unknown
part of Venezuela. The party met
with terrible hardships and privation.
and only about half of them got back
to civilization. They were In continual
danger from snakes, and the native
remedies, the only ones at hand. were
severe ones. One day Mateo Ramirez,
one of the men walking through the
Jungle, was bitten just above the ankle
by a snake. Andre suspected that the
bite was not poisonous, but Mateo was
In mortal terror and allowed his friends
to subject him to remedy worse than
the disease. Throwing him to the
ground. they wound strong creeper.
around his thigh until II cut into the,
flesh and then burned the wound with
q live coal until the patient shrieked
in agony. Chewed tobacco and crushed
garlic were afterward rubbed In and
tie wound bound up. The snake bite
was cured. but the poor victim suffered
for many days from the remedy.-Les'l

Examples of Terseness.

Perhaps the tersest and most enec-
tive election speech ever made. says
London weekly, was that Of Mr.. John
Peel at Accrington, when at last and
after the most urgent solicitation he
was induced to address there the elect
ors Of northeast Lancashire. "Men OF
Accrington, II you are 80 backward In
coming forward. we shall all be behind
as we were before" The only deliver
ance comparable with this in terseness
and effectiveness was the sermon OF
Dean Swift's, which, taking as its text.
"He that giveth to the poor lendeth to
the Lord" began and ended thus:
Brethren, II you like the security
down with the dust"
