VETERINARY ADVICE.
DR.. Smead Tells what Causes Cows
to Kick and How to Cure Self
Sucking Habit.

There is a question as to the cause
of a cow kicking. 1t, as rule, is
caused by harsh milking, and a whole
lot of people, [ regret to say, have
never learned to milk a cow with
comfort to the cow; and the result is
she resents by kicking. 1t is posi-
BILE you may hurt this cow when you
attempt to milk her. Again, there
are cows that object to being MIXED
by men. In cases of that kind, let
kindness be the prime factor in treat
ing her and never try the boot and
milking stool for a curry comb; but
curry her by gentle hand strokes and
give her bit of wheat bran or some
other food she may relish. If she
then resents, keep cool. Procure
piece of half inch rope and put it
around her body just forward of the
udder, draw it tightly and tie with
a single bow knot and she will not
lift a foot to kick. But do this kind

week was out the soul had drank itself
quite drunk with liquid tones and
sparkling eyebeams. For Jaston and
the plucky girl had become good
friends.
1t was foolish of the poor soul to

but so it did, and made so merry withal
that it scarcely needed the significance
of Charley's return. A return of So, 1000!

Jaston looked up sharply at the

him and the girl. The voice persisted
with a sweep of masterful tenderness.

THE GROWTH OF TREES.
Processes of Nature Are Wonderful
Indeed, But They Always Work
with Logical Precision.

Prof. Z. S. Croft: In the first place,
we have the root system which absorbS
water from the ground and brings this
water together at the base of the
trunk. The roots have an absorptive
system of their own and their nature
is to draw in water with more or less
vigor. Then when the water is taken
to the trunk, the fbers of the trunk
tend to lift the water by capillarity land
the buds above are not only expanding
the water above, but they are filled with
protoplasm which has an affinity for
water, and SO we have force that
draws the water from the roots into
the top. 1T is a principle we'll known
in physics that when water passes
through tube it will pass with more
force through a straight tube than it
will through crooked tube, and that
every bend we make in the tube would
reduce the force to that extent. 1t
follows that the buds of an apple tree,
or any other tree, that are in the most
direct communication with the axis of
growth, with the trunk, are the ones
y
time the branch grows, that branch
does not receive quite as much water
as the branch before it turns, and if
that branch subdivides, the secondary
branch receives less than the primary
branch, and SO on, the more it branches
the less water it receives, and the less
vigor it has and the less it grows; it is
this principle that determines the form
of the tree. You know, is the tree
tends to grow upright, the terminal
buds receive more water than any
other buds, because they are in. the
most direct line with the source of wa
ter; every branch that grows less
somewhat in vigor. By and by, when
the tree attains height so great that
the distance from the roots is so great
it overbalances the fact that the termi-
nal buds are in direct communication
with the axis of the vigor, the upper
most branches will dominate, and after
a time the tree will come to an equilib-
rum, the branches will grow just as
much as the terminal shoots, and we
will have full grown, developed tree.

FORGETTING THE cow.
Faithful Friend Has Tided Many
a Farmer Over Periods of
Cruel Depression.

Perhaps it is not altogether to be
regretted that when prosperity comes
and nature smiles man is apt to forget
the times of adversely, says Wallace's
Farmer. At the same time it is lin-
grateful, to say the least, to forget the
fundamentally that pulled him
through, and it is foolish to suppose
that adversely is banished for good and
prosperity will continue forever. 1t is
not many years since the dairy cow
stood between the western farmer and
very hard times indeed. Money was
scarce. Prices of grain, of beef cattle
and other stock were low. Prospects
did not seem very bright to the farmer.
In this emergency the dairy cow stood
between many a farmer and hardship.
She brought in cash every week or
month. She bought shoes for the chill
dren, dresses for the women folk and
well. in some cases, perhaps, tobacco
for the men. She enabled some farm
ers to float over the period of depres-
sion comfortably and many to swim
where without her they would have
sunk.
The hard times have gone. The pig,
the horse. the steer, the grain. are all
bringing good prices. Money is plen-
tiful and cheap. Bank accounts are car
rying a comfortable surplus. Under
these conditions many farmer is for
getting the good old COW that pulled
him though. He is allowing the calf to
run with her. He is forgetting and his
children are not learning how to milk
The usefulness of the cow for the dairy
is being destroyed. When the turn of
the tide comes and the farmer must
turn to the cow again, she will not be
able to serve him as she did before. not
through any fault of hers, but because
of his neglect.
Men cannot farm high-priced land
on horseback. Neither can they always
afford to sit on the fence and watch
the calf do the milking.

Trimming Up wild Trees,

Groups of trees near the house are
frequently the reason of old brush,
accommodations of dead leaves and
noxious weeds growing under and
around them. Often the underbrush
is of such a character that it great
ly detracts from the appearance of
the surroundings. Such clumps Of
trees may be made truly beautiful by
cleaning up the rubbish, moving the
weeds, cutting away the dead wood
and removing the most unsightly' of
the underbrush. A little trimming of
the tops of the trees will improve
matters. It is possible in this way
''to mend nature" When beauty IS
desired. some trees must be cut out
when they grow so densely that lat
.ral development is checked.

In a paper recently presented to the
Society for the Promotion of Agri-
cultural Science attention is called to
the great variations that exist in the
nutritive value of butter. One pound
of butter may be more valuable than
another. apart from its physical APP
pearance and taste, while alone are the
determining factors its market'value.
Determinations of the percentage of
water in 500 samples of butter from 400
creameries in IS different states,
showed that the amount of water in
butter varies from 10 per cent. to 1852
per cent, the average being Ills per
cent. Unfortunately the quantity of
water content cannot be judged from
the general appearance of the butter,
and the scientists have as yet been un-
able to offer any guiding rule.

years, and unless repressive measures
are adopted or in force it may cause
much damage in the United States.
Aside from the direct injury, it is a
well established fact that peas infested
by this species have not the CONNER
cial value of clean seed, since as de-
termined by Dr. Fletcher, only II to 20
per cent. of the infested ones Will
terminate. This means that where the
weevil is at all abundant in the seed,
one-half to four-ffths of it may be
worthless, and purchasers will do well
to bear this in mind. The sowing of
this seed not only results in smaller
than normal number of plants but also
aids the propagation of the insect, and
it is very probable that great many
of these pests are eaten in the green
peas, which latter is not agreeable to
contemplate.
The species can be easily controlled,
since it is confined to one food plant,
namely, peas, and hibernates either
within the seed or in sheltered places.
If the peas for seed purposes are har-
vested early, promptly threshed and
treated with carbon bisulphide, none
of the insects will be able to survive;
and DR.. Fletcher states that even if the
peas be tightly enclosed in a paper
bag, the weevils will be unable to es-
cape from their prison, and if the seed
be held over until the second year,
which may be done without injuring its
terminating powers. all the weevils
will die, and consequently there will
be no danger of the species propagat-
ing.
This simple method involves little or
no additional expense, and if the large
growers of seed peas will in turn COOP
crate and fumigate all of their stock,
there should be comparatively little or
no trouble from the species in future
years. 1t would undoubtedly be good
business policy for growers of peas to
print on each package statement to
the effect that the seed has been prop
erly fumigated and buyers are urged
to insist upon this treatment. or to APP
ply it to seed before it is planted.-E.

the appearance of her teats. Many
methods can be used to prevent COWS
doing this. Perhaps as good a way as
any is to put a halter upon her and
a surcingle around her just back of
the shoulders. Then procure a stick
about three feet four inches long for
an ordinary cow-a piece of an old
fork handle makes a good one. Bore
a half inch hole through each end of
it so a small rope or cord can be run
through it and fasten one end to
the halter ring under the chin and
the other bring between the legs to
the surcingle. She can feed with this
and have free use of her head, but
cannot reach her udder with her
nose. D. Smead, V. S., in n. Y.

DOCTOR OR MILKMAN ?
An Illustrative Instance of the FER
versity of Some Simple Minded
Patients.

One of the hardest blows to the profess
sional pride Of physicians and surgeons is
the excess of wisdom on all such subjects
possessed by the world at large, says the
New York Times. A surgeon tells of case
where he recently set broken arm. The
operation was successful and the splints
had been removed. The surgeon advised
his patient to leave off the bandages and
mani pulate the injured member at inter
walls.
just as the doctor was leaving the house
the milllman arrived on his rounds, and
missing the splints, said to the patient:
You'll take cold in that arm. You ought
to keep it bandaged."
A few days later the surgeon called again
and found that the patient, who had fol-
lowed the milkman's warning, complained
of soreness in the arm, and said Doctor,
/ think you've botched IL.
The doctor, observing the bandages stlll
on the arm, remarked: ''And whose ADVICE
are you taking now, mine or the milk
man's?"

This little insect (Bruchus pisi, Linn.)
is species which occurs somewhat
commonly in peas. Its presence is too
frequently overlooked. or regarded as

and those planting few peas or even

pay little or no attention to whether
the seed is infested by this insect or
not. As matter of fact this subject
is of considerable Importance. particu-
