German Calf yaccination.

Every calf in Germany will be vac
cinated with specially prepared human
tuberculosis bacilli upon the attain
ment of SITS third month If the propos-
ais Of Prof. Behring, the great bacter-
iologist and opponent of Prof. Koch's
tuberculosis theories, are adopted by
the reichstag. Prof. Behring earnestly
pleaded the adoption of an imperial
law to this end in conference with the
ministry of agriculture. The professor
also proposes to add a gram of forma-
lin to every ten-quart can of milk. He
maintains that fresh milk contains ele-
ments fatal to disease bacteria, but
that it quickly loses them. Formalin,
he adds, would conserve these elements
Indefinitely. Prof. Behring has inter-
ested Berlin's milkmen in his plans.

INTERESTING TO AMERICANS.
Western Canada VIII Soon Become
the supply Depot for Wheat for
Great Britain.

During the past year about $4,000
Americans went from the United States
to Canada. Most of these settled upon
by agents of the Canadian Government
that the greatest success has followed
the efforts of nearly all. To their
friends on this side of the boundary
line the fullest assurance Is given Of
the prosperity that is in store for
them. There will always be a splen-
did market for all the grain, cattle
and other produce that can be raised in
Western Canada, and with the advan-
tages offered of a free homestead of
100 acres of land, and other lands
which may be bought cheaply, an ex-
cellent climate, splendid school system,
educational advantages of the best,
what more is required. The husband
man gets more return for his money
than in any other country in the world.

with Canada no less important than
those of the provision trade. When it
is borne in mind that 80 per cent. Of
the breadstuffs of this great country

RAISING DAIRY cows.
In. Order to Begin Right Calves should
BE Selected whose Grandmas
Had a Record.

1t dairymen would depend upon rais-
ing their dairy animals themselves the
result would be much more satisfac-
tory, as a rule. than to buy from stock
men or spectators in a haphazard
way any 'pickups' that are offered.
In order to begin right calves should
be selected whose grandams on both
sides had a good record at the pail or
churn; then there will be a reasonable
hope that the calf will evolve into a
profitable cow.
If we are in the dairy business for
milk, then the attention is drawn to-
ward he animal which will turn her
food and energies into furnishing an
abundance of milk; but if the aim be
cream or butter, we do not care
whether, the amount of milk be large
or small, so it yields a proper amount
of butter fat.
But If the dairyman deems the rear
ing of calves only a side ISSUE" and,
as a result, gives only indifferent
treatment, he might as well buy his
W COWS, for a stunted calf is a pitt
able object, and will never fulfil its
destiny, no matter what its after treat
ment may be.
Extravaganza in the feeding Of the
calf is Observation-Disclosures
never. Extravagant feeding-it would
be so called by many-means milk
fresh from the cow or new milk at
least three weeks after the birth of the
calf; and the calf that is not worth
what new milk it can consume during
the first few weeks of it's life is not
worth the raising. Let me emphasize
that the first weeks of the calls exist
ence determine its value later on

ERAT1oN OF MILK.
To Make 1t Successful Barns, Yards
and Pastures Must BE Kept
in Clean Condition.

The aeration Of milk is not D new
where milk has been exposed to Dir.
The only new thing about it has been
the exposure of milk under conditions
that would prevent anything but pure
air coming in contact with the milk.
1t is Of no value to aerate milk in air
that contains as many bad odors as
does the milk, and it is worse than
useless to expose the milk for aerat-
ing purposes in air that carries foul
odors. There are many locations in
which it is impossible to aerate milk.
Some Of our barnyards are kept in
such a condition that they can be
smelled at a long distance, and the
same is true of some of our hog
yards, wallows and pens. Dairy COWS
MIXED in such a locality produce
their milk under the worst conditions
possible. The odors get into the milk
at the time the milk is drawn, and
the air outside is not enough pure to
warrant an attempt at aeration. 1t is
patent to every man that has had
to do work on the farm that in the
summer time men cannot aerate the
milk because they cannot be induced
to carry the milk a long distance
from the barn to put it through the
aerating process. In the winter there
is some difference in favor Of pure
milk, al the barnyards and wallows
are under snow or frozen up. But it
is certain that if a man intends to
make a business of aerating his milk
he will have to place his barns, yards
and pastures adjacent in a Clearly
condition.-Farmers Review.

Indians Nose Breathing.

Sir James Crichton Browne thinks it
unnecessary that children should be
taught to breathe through the nos
trils only, and maintains that they
cannot do so under the stress of act
i've exertion. London Hospital thinks
otherwise. Among the North Ameri-
can aborigines, at time when they
were capable of extraordinary physi-
cal exertion, the precept to "shut your
mouth" was enforced upon the young
by the most severe discipline.
Catlin founded upon his experiences
among the American tribes curious
book upon the subject. After depict
ing open-mouthed men and boys in
every variety of ugliness and stupid
ity, he says that he refrains from CIV
ing illustrations of the fairer sex, and
would only remind them, while coun-
selling them to be careful about clos
ure of the mouth at night, that idiots
asleep cannot be angels awake
Sir James declares that not all nos
trils are sufficiently wide to permit Of
breathing being conducted through
them to the exclusion of the mouth;
but it is certain that nothing would
tend more than breathing through
them to promote their development

LOOKING FOR INDIANS.
How a Dissatisfied Recruit Obtained
His Discharge.


An army captain. who likes to talk
about his experiences was once sta
toned In California at a post nowhere
near Indians, except those in the front
or the cigar stores in the nearby city.
Among the batch of recruits came q
big husky fellow who was very quiet
and Wen liked by the men Of his COM
pany. In few weeks the man seemed
TO grow quieter and to stay by himself
and have little to say to any one. One
AFTERNOON he was excused from dress
parade by the surgeon on account of
sickness. Just as parade was formed
the big fellow was seen to rush across
the parade in front of the command
ing officer. In his hands he carried
pair OF lineman's climbers. He stop
ped at the foot of the tall Flagstaff,
and before he could be stopped he had
strapped on the climbers and raced up
the staff. On the crosstress, half way
up, he sat, Old Glory f1uttering to the
breeze over his head. Parade over,
the guard, the officers and many 9TH
ers gathered at the foot Of the staff
and the man was commanded to come
down. He paid no attention to the
commands Of any one or to the threat
of the commanding officer that he
would have him shot if he did not
come down. He took from his pocket
a pair of field glasses and scanned the
country in all directions for about half
an hour, when he closed up the glass
and descended into the hands Of the
guard at the foot of the staff. AS he
was being marched off to the guard
house he remarked:
Il did not see any coming"
"See any whats? asked the sergeant
Of the guard.
"Why, Indians. The Modocs are
coming to attack the post, and 1 am
on the watch for them"
The surgeon talked with the man,
who was quiet and seemed rational
on every subject save that the post
was in danger of being attacked by
Indians. In a day or two he was re-
leased from the guardhouse and in
half an hour was up the staff again
and at the same business of watching
for the Indians No threats or COM
mands would induce the man to come
down or make any reply. At the end
Of three hours he came down "from
off his perch" and in a day or two pa
pers were sent in recommending his
discharge, not on the ground Of insani-
ty, which would have necessitated his
being sent to the asylum, but on ac-
count of unfitness for service.
His discharge papers were given to
him, and as he passed out Of the post
a member of the guard said to him:
swell, how about the Indians now?
See any?"
The big fellow turned around when
off the reservation, and out Of the
gate, and with a smile that was child
like and bland, replied:
Indians. no! You army fellows GER
tainly are lot Of jays"
He had been lineman, and, not
satisfied with the service, had chosen
novel way to get out.

A SONG oF PATIENCE.

Only for little while
Sunny days consent to smile
All their charms must fade away
In the midsts of wiDtry gray.
Flowers must wither; leaves must
fall;
flushed must be the robins cali.
Summers blooms but to beguile
Only for a little while.
But the SHOWS will melt at last,
Days of storms are quickly past.
Just the same as days so gay
Sun and shadows shift and play.
Quaff the pleasures while you can;
Bear the sorrows like a man.
For the tear. is, like the smile,
Only for little while.

The Woodchuck's Winter.

The woodchuck always gathers and
stores away food all the spring, sum-
mer and autumn, but he stores it away
in his own body-in other words, he
eats 1t. And he eats so much that by
fall he is as fat as pig. Then when
he has dug for himself long, winding
burrow, and made at the end of it a
snug nest Of leaves or grass, all he
has to do is to block the entrance with
earth and leaves and curl up in his
bed and sleep until the spring, when
ne comes out little more than a bag Of
lones.-Womap's Home Companion.

Church Debt Lifted by Bees.

La Crosse county bees, by strict atten-
ton to business during the summer
months, helped out the congregation of a
little country church from an unpleasant
burden of debt. The means to lift the
debt could not be seen, and it was feared
the church would have to go to it's credit
ors, when members Of the congregation
discovered that bees had made their home
in the church walls. AS they were not
esteemed good neighbors for church
meetings, the clapboards were torn off
to dislodge the visitors. Then it was
found that the space was filled with fine
honey. 1t was sold, and enough money
was realized to meet the church debt.
