We are just in receipt of a very handsome
booklet published by the Chas. H Lilly Com

with lines of Stock and Poultry in the
Northwest. 1t is of the neatest things
of Its kind that we have ever seen, being
printed on the very best paper and the
illustrations all halftones of photo

This is especially valuable to the farmer
on the North Pacific Coast, as it has to
deal with conditions find them here
and contains descriptions of the different
breeds of cattle, horses and poultry, also

they are the best for the different purposes
enumerated.

interesting pages calling attention to the
various good and bad points about horse
also giving the systems Of the different
diseases and what to do in emergency
cases.
For the man who handles cattle either
dairy or beef, there is much of interest and
much useful information to be found in
the pages of this booklet.
The poultrymen would be especially in
terested as the book tells no VITO handle
an incubator, how to take care of the lit
tie chicks and the grown fowls how to
feed for broilers and how to feed for eggs

The shortest Twilight.

The period Of twilight shortens to-
ward the equator and lengthens to-
ward the poles. In other words, the
less the thickness of the air through
which the rays of the setting sun have
to pass the sooner darkness comes.
From this it naturally follows that the
region OF the shortest twilight is the
one which is situated nearest to the
equator and at the greatest elevation.
These two conditions are combined
In the region in which stands Quito,
the capital of Ecuador. The plateau is
0,442 feet above the level of the sea. lit
is also surrounded by mountains, TWEEN
ty peaks, eleven of which rise beyond
the snow line, being visible from the
streets of the city. Added to this, it is
only fifteen miles south Of the equator;
hence it has shorter twilight than
any other spot on the equator partly
because of the elevation and partly be-
cause the western mountains intercept
the rays Of the setting sun and so
cause darkness to follow daylight with
greater rapidity than at any other spot
on earth.

Something he Didn,t KNOW.

In the war with France, previous to
the French revolution. an English
drummer not more than fifteen years
Of age, having wandered from his
camp too near the French lines, was
seized and brought before the French
commander. On being asked who he
was by the general he answered, "A
drummer in the English service" This
not gaining credit, a drum was sent
for, and he was desired to beat a cou-
pie of marches, which he accordingly
did. The Frenchman's suspicion be-
ing, however, not quite removed, he
desired the drummer to beat a retreat
"A retreat, STRIP replied the youth. Il
don't know what that is" The answer
SO pleased the French officer that he
dismissed the drummer and wrote to
his general commencing his spirited be-
hayior.

Some Queer Dennttionn.

In the Bailey dictionary OF 1914 the
word ''colibus'' is defined as follows
"Colibus a humming bird, which
makes noise like whirlwind, though
it is no bigger than fly. 1t feeds on
dew, has an admirable beauty of feath-
ers and scent as sweet as that OF
musk OF ambergris."
The same authority thus describes
the loriot, or oriole: ''Loriot-a bird
that being looked upon by one that has
yellow jaundice, cures the person and
dies itself"
Delpino's dictionary Q703) says Of
the leopard: "Lleupard, or leopard-a
yellow beast, exceedingly swift, subtle
and fierce and Of such a sweet SAVIOR
that it allures other beasts to it, by
which means they are caught and de-
voured"

The Garden Of Eden.

According to the best authorities, 1t
was in Armenia that the garden of
Eden" spoken Of In the book Of Gene
sis was planted. Most of the evidence
in support of this theory is topograph-
zeal. The Bible says that the garden
was watered by a river running
through it which afterward divided
into four heads. The names Of these
are given as Pison, Gibon, Hiddekel
and Euphrates. There is little diff
Guilty about the latter, and Hiddekel is
commonly identified with the Tigris,
both of which rivers rise in the noun
tains of Armenia. The others are To-
Gated by assuming them to be Aras
and the Kur, streams which also rise
in the Armenian hills. In old docu-
ments Armenia is often referred to as
the "land of the four rivers or s'the
cradle of the human race" Though

Dead Men. Food In Yucatan.

From remote times the natives OF
Yucatan have been accustomed to
make offerings to the souls Of the de-
parted. particularly a certain pie that
they call flood Of the SOUL The crust
must be of yellow corn, the interior
tender chicken and small pieces Of
pork. These pies are wrapped In leaves
of the banana tree and baked under
ground between hot stones. When
done, they are placed on the graves
or hung from trees close by. Some
times, after leaving them there for an
hour or two, the living take home the
pies and enjoy them, saying that the
souls have already drawn from them
all the ethereal part OF the substance.

81 DAsI1ry5':

In an address before the Wisconsin
buttermakers' convention Professor 7.
L. Hacker said that too little signifi-
canoe has been placed upon the dispo-
sition of the dairy COW. She may have
many good points and yet be failure
or give only ordinary returns. simply
because she has bad disposition, is
excitable, FESTIVE, rational or combat
i've.
A COW with placid, mild eye always
has good disposition and is not easily
disturbed. She is disposed to make the
best of things as they are and is COM
posed. If it is too open it denotes a
tendency to get excited and nervous,
and the same is the case with the
quick, flashing eyes. She should have
breadth of forehead because that de-
notes intelligence; learns quickly and is
appreciatiye of kind treatment. 1t
should be slightly dished between the
eyes, because fullness there indicates
aggreSsiveness.
The Roman nose is the fighter The
head should have a medium poise, be-
cause if carried too high she is rattle
headed and is easily confused; if car
ried too low it indicates a stubborn,
FESTIVE, pugnacious disposition. Slow
movement of ears and body shows
tractability and slowness to anger. She
is not in rush, does all leisurely,
which is conducive to a full and per-
sistent flow of milk.

The Buffers Pantry.

The modern term buffers pantry
marks the coalescence of two Offices
formerly distinct, when the butler, or
''boteler," presided over the buttery,
or. "botelerie," and the painter" or
painter" over the pantry or bread
closet. The duties of carver, sewer
and cupbearer were held to be very
honorable ones and could be dis
charged by men of high rank, and in
great establishments the butler, the
painter, the porter and the officers Of
all the several household departments
had each his own contingent of grooms
and yeomen.

His sire was Claude 234 and dam
Grace Benedict 521, who in ten months
gave 1928 pounds of milk. Claudius

the leading fairs in the east including
New York, New Jersey and the Pan
American. Out of a possible seventeen
first prizes he took thirteen In 1901
he headed his herd and took first at all

Nebraska as O Dairy State.
In recent bulletin by Professor A.
L. Hacker prepared for railroad
company he shows what he believes to
be the future possibilities of Nebraska
as dairying state. One creamery
paid to farmers in 1903 for butter fat
the sum of 81 ,25OOOO, and another paid
100000. This, he believes, is only a
small representation of what will be
paid in the future when the dairy in
dustry is more fully developed.

Weed out the drones from your herd.

Abortion In Dairy Herds.
The COW which has aborted should
first be isolated in a portion of the
barn entirely removed from tbe
healthy animals, says DR.. Lehnert in
American Agriculturist. Use some dis
infectant literally about the stall. and
wash out the uterus daily for a week
to ten days and then every few DAYS
as long as there is any discharge from
the vulva. For this purpose use a 8 to
. per cent solution of creolin or sulnho
naphthol. The cheapest and best an
paratus for douching is three-quarter
foot OF one-half inch hose and an or |
binary tin funnel or tunnel. This is |
preferable to syringe or pump, as it |
is less irritating. About two Quarts /
should be used at each douche. using
warm water. Do not breed affected
COWS for six months, and keep them
farroW year if they are worth it.
