The Weight of the Children.

With regard to the standard oi
weight for growing children, that u.s.
ually given by authorities in the matter
Is that at five years of age a child
should weigh about as many pounds as
it is inches high. AS rule, this viii
not be much over or under forty
pounds. Children who come Of large
families should weigh something more
than that. The rate Of increase should
be about two pounds for every inch
Of growth, with a tendency for the
weight to exceed this standard proper.
tlonately rather than to fall below 1t
When a child is rather heavier in pro.
portion to its height than this stand
ard, 1t is a sign Of good health. If the
child is growing rapidly it should not
be allowed TO fall much below 1t with
out being made to rest more than has
been the custom before. A deficiency
of weight in proportion to height is al
ways an unfavorable sign. Any inter
ruption in the progress of increase OF
weight, especially during the continu
ance OF growth, must be danger sig
nal that should not be neglected by
those interested in the patient.-West

Failures With Apples.

There are many causes why apples
fail to rlpen, which do not all, OF
course, affect the same tree, but one
or more of them may cause the prema-
ture dropping of fruit. 1. The trees
may be weakened by q severe winter,
which may injure them in trunk, root
or branches, leaving vitality enough 70
form and not perfect the fruit 2. Wet
weather, following dry weather, will
cause a sudden growth and make the
stems of the apples so brittle that they
will break and fall. 3. Root lice may
rob the roots of sap, weaken the tree
and cause the apple to fall. 4. Sudden
changes from wet to dry will cause
an irregular growth of the fruit, and
consequently 1t will drop. 8. Borers
| may weaken the vitality Of the tree.
6. Curcullos and coddling moths may
attack the fruit. Z. The soil may be
too poor to support the fruit. s. The
| tree may blossom unduly late. thus
| allowing the growth of the tree to get
the start Of the fruit and rob 1t of tho
nourishment,s thus causing 1t to fall

When the Cow is Uncomfortable.

One cold day last year, when the
wind was blowing n stiff gale and the
air was full of snow, / saw large
herd of cows out in the fields, trying
hard to nibble the few spears of frozen
grass which stuck up here and there
through the covering Of white. They
looked cheerless and uncomfortable
enough. 1 wondered if their owner
really thought his cattle got enough
as return for their wandering over
those bare fields to pay for the discom-
fort they suffered. They surely must
have been hungry as well as cold that
day. If not, their appearance sadly
belicd their real feelings.
l am not one of those who believe
that 1t is best to keep cows in the
stable the year round. 1t seems to me
a most unnatural thing to do. The
cow Is by nature great traveller.
She enjoys grazing over wide terri
tory every day. And 1t always has
seemed to me better that she should
be allowed some out of doors exercise
every day, winter and summer, so /
allow my cows to go out TO drink and
10 shake themselves and to get the air
and sunshine whenever there Is any
such day. None of us feel well IL we
are confined to the house all the time.
The COW cannot be much of an excep-
tlon to the rule.
But, on the other hand, my opinion
Is that the matter of exercise may be
overdQne. Every time COW gets
thoroughly chilled something Is taken
from her vitality. Low vitality means
loss of usefulness. The cold and un-
comfortable COW cannot do her best
Instlnctively she begins to worry. II
is law of nature that worry AM!
anxiety injure the creature, man OF
animal, which INDUCES in it.
Right along in this line lies the other
fact not always taken into account
Every cow requires n certain amount
'of food to keep the warmth of her body
up to the normal condition. When she
drops below the normal she begins to
draw on the reserve OF flesh and
strength. 1t cannot be questioned that
to do her best the cow must be in good
fesb. A poor cow is thinking and
working to get enough food to make
her comfortable. If she gets anything
more than that well and good. Hel
owner will enjoy the benefit. If she
cannot get sufficient to maintain hel
body at normal standpoint, she
leaves her owner to suffer the conse
quences of his indiscretion.

tia the potato crop this year viii be only
20 Per cent Of the usual crop.
The larger proportion OF the acreage has
