Bovine 1uhecclIlosis.

J. H. Monrad in New York Produce
Review, says: DR.. Th. Rosatzin re-
viewing the tuberculosis question ir
relation to milk, refers to the excite.
ment caused by DR.. Koch and the diff
ficulty in securing absolute proof one
way or the other as regards the pos
sibilities Of infection. He gives an
exhaustive and seemingly unbiased
report of various facts and opinions
and finishes by saying: "After all
these arguments I take the following
standpoint:
Il. That the identity CT bovine and
human tuberculosis seems to me is
proven.
"2. That, according to my judgment,
danger Of transmission of bovine
tuberculosis to people through the in
testines is not excluded, while it
is proven in the case OF injection
(skin tuberculosis.)
g. That milk from tuberculous
cows, especially those with diseased
udders and clinically more affected,
must be considered as infectious"

Effect of Color.

Few people seem to realize the real
ly strong effect that their color sur
roundings have on their temperament.
1t is great mistake to live in rooms
papered with dark wall papers; they
may be economical from the point of
view of not showing the dirt, but they
are really most disastrous to the spir-
it's. A warm yellow or good rose
pink looks cheerful and reminds one
Of sunny days, while a pretty green,
not too vivid in tint, suggests the del
icate hues of spring. A paper covered
with large pattern in dark colorings
somehow seems to lend q gloomy ef-
feet to even the largest room, while
there are certain schemes of coloring
that hurt the eyes and tire one to look
at. 1t may interest readers to know
that green papers have the reputation
of fading sooner than any others,
while blue becomes a dirty sort of
green if exposed to the sun, pink
terra Gotta and yellow sort of
Whitley of them very at
tractive, perhaps, in this stage, but on
the whole a faded pink is the least de-
pressing shade.

A True Financier,

THE road to financial success" says
a Fulton banker, 'is to ask little
more for everything you have to sell
than you think it is worth. I remem-
Der few years ago that James Stew
art of Millersburg came to town with
4: mule to sell and tried all day to sell
it for $50 without finding anyone.
HE was about ready to go home
when along about sundown a fellow
walked up to where it was tied and
looked around it, threw his thumb
under it's lip and took a peep at it's
molars, and finally asked him what he
would take for it. Thinking it was
like the other chances he had encoun-
tered during the day, and that there
was no hope of sale, he asked the
man $3.50 =.
THE stranger walked around the
mule again and offered $145. But Jim
said he was determined to get his
price; the other man was stubborn
and said he wanted to go home, and if
that wouldn't buy it go he must.
Finally Jim concluded that he wanted
to go home, too, and with an air of
seeming reluctancy that was played to
perfection, he agreed to let the ami
NAL go at $145."--St. Louis Post-Dis:

HIS SMOOTH TALK WASTED.

Before the Lambs Come.

4. G. Gamley, a, Manitoba sheep

ewes ought to- be getting in good con.
u1ttlon, and it cannot be done easier
tnan by giving them the run of the:
stubble fields after the grain IS Isl
stacked. Before the breeding season
is over the winter will have set in,s
and the flock will be in their winter
quarters. No elaborate building is
necessary. A hay rack running. round
the inside, with a small door in the
ce4ter, just large enough for one
sheep to go in and out when the big
:door is shut. 1t must be dry and en-
tlrely free from drafts for the sheep
to do well; 3ox60 feet will be ample
accommodation for hundred good
SIZED ewes, until lambing time.
i 9Fhe winter feed should be wild hay,
oaf straw or oat sheaves. They may
be eSallowed to run at the Oat stack, II
care is taken to remove the overhang-
ing portions as they eat it away from
under, to prevent the chaff from get
tlns into their wool. The hay is fed
IN the rack inside, and only what they

the racks before the next feeding.

Oat chop, or oat sheaves, one sheaf
