Prof. Cornet, long assistant to Prof.
Koch Of Berlin, spilled the sputum OF
a consmptive on the carpet Of a room
in which he kept f~orty-eight guinea

air. All but two of them contracted
consumption.

on a paved base shaped similar to
a saucer; whitewash the whole ex-
terror with Stacked lime, mixed
with skim milk. No roof is needed
except one of cotton batting. Cut
the corn about inch long for silo,
fill and when it gets hot use a few
barrels of water, which will soon
form good roof. To destroy rats,
feed them a few days with good
corn meal, after which add plaster
of paris, when you will procure a
east of their stomachs.
Cows should be fed twice per
day, with a good amount each time.
This is better than more frequent
feeding. Use ground oats with
silage in preference to bran. Sixty
per cent of the value of stable
manure is in the liquids. All
young cows are inclined to dry off
after milking 100 days and it re-
quires careful attention to keep up
the flow; ensilage will aid in doing
this.
How to break a heifer-Put her
with the other COWS a few months
before coming in profit, use her
the same as the other COWS, except
milking; when the progeny arrives,
put it where the mother cannot see
| it and you milk instead of the calf,
and the heifer will soon imagine
that you are the calf. 1t is much
better not to let the calf draw the
milk at all. The heifer will then
follow you about and caress you
and become very affectionate. A
good dairyman should and does
know a great deal more than those
in any other occupation.

w EDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily, destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer IS
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer:
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

trade Of BAT per cent for 1903, while
the gain in the rail trade was 1872,

Now that the numerals lumber

some more chartering will be done, as
there is yet a considerable amount OF

Reply
Negative One
Ensland's Pro-Japaness Policy
Excites Much Interest in
Russian Official Circles.

New York, Jan. 1s.-It Is now an
open secret here. cables the Herald's
ST. Petersburg correspondent, that the
Japanese reply is distinctly negative.
and Its extremely courteous tone Is only
eqaalled by the firmness of spirit which
characterizes it.
The foreign Office and oil the prin-
cipals are so engrossed with work that
1t is well nigh impossible to get a
word from them. and the various agen-
c!es were treated 10 stereotyped ON
cial phrases. implying that diplomacy
Ia still being used. II Is stated that
their majesties and the ministers are
most active.
The czar's advisers have been In
structed to try to work out some plan
whereby the amour propre of both
countries can be saved. but the COM
plications and political entanglement
seem beyond the POWER Of any one to
find a solution. England's so-called
Japanese policy is exciting serious
attention In political circles. the cor
respondent continues. It IL a growing
sentiment that Russia has not got to
do with Japan so much as with Eng
land, and that the Anglo japanese al
lance is at the bottom Of all the pres
ent trouble.
An echo is now loudly heard OF the
utterances Of those politicians who at
the moment OF the Anglo Japanese al
lance announced and proclaimed that
this political coup" meant war against
Russia as destroying the balance OF
power in the far east.
1t is urged by many politicians that
the time has come for Russia to re-
taliate by demonstration toward the
Indian frontier, and also by aggressive
political tactics in Persia.
Diplomatic circles attention Is called
to the reported frigid reception OF the
British ambassador recently by Count
Lamsdorffn, minister of foreign affairs.
There is intense irritation in the high
st quarters, the correspondent declares
against England and the same senti-
ment is being extended to America
