Wine Of Carlui has never been known

perfect health, even in the most persls-

Wine Of Cardui and she says 1t helped

of tie respect and trust her fellow

The unique botanical knowledge OF
Sir George Birdwood one of the most
erudite men IN the India service, once
enabled him TO perform almost uncon-
sciousiy a neat bit of detective work.
He was Ia Bombay when he was
asked to investigate the case of a
young nobleman who In applying to
the governor for an appointment repre-
scented that he was just out from Eng
land and that his letters of introduc-
ton had been lost on the voyage.
a few days after Or. Birdwood. as he
then was, had undertaken the investl-
CATION he met the young nobleman at
dinner at the governors house. The ia
| BILE decorations Of orchids suggested a
conversational opening. and Or Bird
woods praise drew from the young no
| bleman standing opposite:
You should see the Amherstia nobi-
| lis in its native woods, sir"
1t was fatal remark.

be felt Il" request of the young man
that he might leave the table. all pre-
pared the governor and the company
for the subsequent discovery that he
had absconded from Rangoon with
some public funds.

A Destructive Midsummer Pest.

Usually during July, August and Sep
TENDER fruit as well as many shade
and forest trees are badly infested with
caterpillars of various kinds. One of
these, called the yellow necked cater
pillar, is thus described by American
Agriculturist: 1t is about two inches
long when full grown, with a black
head Just back Of which Is n dull vel
low band. The worms are usually found
clustered together on n limb, where
they feed upon the foliage, gradually
devouring everything within their
reach, leaving only bare branches.
When disturbed these insects assume
very peculiar attitude by throwing
up the head and fore part of the
body, turning 1t backward ard at
the same time raising the hinder por-
ton also. When full grown they usual
ly leave the trees at night practically
all at the same time. They burrow in
the ground two or three inches, where
they transform and remain until the
moths emerge the following June and
July. The adult insect, or moth, has
wing expanse of about TWO inches and
is of light brown in general color.
The female deposits from 70 to 100
white eggs upon the surface of the
leaf, where they batch usually during
July, the young worms feeding for five
or six weeks upon the foliage and
young shoots. The presence Of this
pest is usually noticed by the entire
defoliation of the limb, commencing at
its terminal. Inasmuch as the cater
pillars feed in colonies, they can be
destroyed by hand picking. Infested
trees thoroughly sprayed with paris
green or arsenate of lead, either in wa
ter or bordeaux mixture, will prevent
injury by this pest. Frequently colo
MES can be destroyed by burning with
a torch or ball of cotton waste saturat-
ed with kerosene care being taken not
to injure the trees.

The heavy draft horse is one of the
most profitable classes of horses that
the farmer can breed. The draft colt
can be reared with less risk and liabili-
ty to accident than those of the lighter
classes. This is partially due to the
fact that the draft bred colt is usually
n quieter animal than those of the
lighter classes and thus less liable to
injure itself through spirited exercise
or playfulness. Furthermore. small
lunches and blemishes. which detract
so seriously from the value of the har-
ness horse or the saddle horse, are not
considered so Objectionable in the draft
horse. He can also be made to earn
his own keep after he is two years old.
and his education can be completed OH
the farm Thus the farmer who breeds
him can secure his real market value.
In the case of the coach horse or the
saddle horse the middleman. who edu-
Gates him, usually reaps a much great
er profit than the man who produced
him. This is not true of the draft
horse.-W. j. Kennedy.

THE COW IN SUMNER.
Some Essentials TO Her Comfort and
Success In the Dairy.

Success In the Dairy.
The cattle are now going out to
pasture all over the country and such
pasture as a good share of 1t is must
discourage the stock which is expected
to gather from it material to make The
owner a little richer this year. Brush.
weeds and a scanty supply of really
good grass mark the greater proportion
of the pasture lands Of this country.
It used to be thought that the COW
could take almost anything in the way
of food and turn il into the very rich
est milk and lots of it, but we are grad.
ually learning that this is not true
The COW is not a machine, as many de-
clare so positively. II she We're we
could not reasonably expect her to take
brush and briers and grind them up
and furnish us a high grade of milk
and butter. She can do many things,
but she cannot do that
But what can W do to make our
pastures better? The question shows
that we have some conscience left yet
and. more than that, 1t argues that
there is hope for better things than in
the past. one thing every man can
dole can 20 over his pastures every
year and NOV the brush and briers.
We have found that the best time to
do this is soon after haying. Then
other work crowds less, and the foul
stuff is quite generally in blossom. a
point not to be overlooked if we would
effectuaIy kill the weeds. Ii this be
not done everything else we may at
tempt to do will be failure.
Water and shade.
Good water is a prime essential to
good milk Be watchful of the water
supply. l have seen cows compelled to
drink from stagnant pools Of water
into which the cattle waded at Will,
leaving such water as there was at
first foul and wholly unfit for any ami
NAL to use, and where at times the mud
was deeper than the water. To think
of demanding pure milk from cows
thus abused, \ man might better af-
ford to drill we'll a hundred feet deep

drink such vile stuff. No creature

Shade Is another essential to the
comfort of cows, and it is more or less
a matter of comfort what success we
have with our dairics So, too, there
should be some means of driving away
flies. We spray our cows every morn
ing. We have tried various prepara-
tons and find that most of them have
good qualities.

want me to say something about
horses, and l am not sure but there is
some connection between some mems
evil doings and the horses they own.
But what does Harriet say? Just this:
"Xhen YOU have the sprayer out to
treat the cows. don't forget that it
would be Il great relief to the horses if
YOU would do likewise with them. Some
horses are more sensitive to the attack
of flies than others, but all would say

WILLIAM F. POWELL
Another Revolution Has Broken Out
in Santo Dominso.-Extensive and
Serious.

New York. Dec. 15.-An alleged
plot to assassinate William F. Pow
ell, United States minister to Hayti
and Charge de Affaires at Port au
Prince, Santo Domingo, has been dis
closed in a communication from an
official of the present Dominican
government to a fellow countryman
in this city who was formerly an
official under the deposed president
of the republic. Wos Y Gil.
The letter states that the plot was
so arranged that ex-president Jimi-
nez leadership Wos Y Gil was over
thrown should be killed about the
same time. 1t was planned to kill
Powell by accident during a street
melee engaged in by plotters. Jimi-
nez was also the victim of the plan
of assassination, and already two
unsuccessful attempts have been
made upon his person. The plot ag-
ainst Powell is said to have been
abandoned because of the strong
stand taken by members of the cab
met, although the diplomat is being
carefully guarded now wherever he
goes. His opposition to the plans of
certain officials caused him to be
marked for assassination.
