TRlCOLOR AND COCKADE,
Origin of the Historic Red, White
and Blue of France.

and Blue of France.
Some seventy or eighty years before
France was involved in the flames of
the revolution-that is at the epoch of
the war of the succession vnen she
was in close alliance with Spain and
Bavaria-it was thought desirable to
distinguish the allied soldiers by
cockade which combined the colors of
the three nations-the white of France,
the red Of Spain and the blue of Ba-
varia.
To none of such incidents, however,
would it be wise to attribute the origin
OF the historic tricolor and cockaGe
adopted by revolutionary France At
the outset there seemed a likelihood
that green, which Camille Desmoulns
had populariZed at the Palais Royal.
would have become the national color.

The world. the local world, that is, Is very quiet now. It Is the season when even the wicked ceases from troubling and the weary get a few days off to rest It Is the time when brain and body get a chance to re- cover from the summer vacation, to re- cuperate from the worry of clothes and plans for successful campaign. A few have rested quietly at home all summer and will wear themselves out during the fair this month, but most of us are like the little darkey, who was asked "whar she was gwine," T aint gwine nowhar," she replied lofti- ly. T done been whar I'm gwine." And most us done been."
 For few weeks now blessed peace, or stagnation Whichever view you hap pen to take of iD will settle upon us. The mad struggle for winter clothes is as yet only distant horror, as are al- so fall house cleaning and school openr ings; social life makes no demands on us and so for the present, we can dream and plan or rest and be utterly and blessfully happy.

Kidney diseases cause more deaths than any other human affliction. This is because they como on so silently. and are, therefore. neglected.
 When the kidneys are we'll. they re- move from the body every day nearly one ounce of uric acid and other pois- onous waste.

HERE AND THERE.

In purchasing new dairy imple-
ments two things should be considered:
Will it perceptibly improve the prod
uots? Will it cheaper production?
Fresh cream and ripened cream
mixed will always result in dubious
butter. A mess of cream in a churn-
ing should be of one degree of ripeness
throughout.
The SOW about to litter should not
be permitted to take milk Of the first
milking from a COW that has just
calved. The colostrum milk Of the COW
is generally fatal to the SOW ready to
litter.
Whether you farm on a limited
number of acres, or whether extensive

poultry would be a great financial

Cows disdain pigs, and dogs they

value of the stalk as plant and vegeta-
BILE food, fed back to the land.
Farmers can, to a large extent, off,
set the scarcity of farm laborers by
the use of labor-saving implements.
This can be done in every department

will eventually invent a machine that
will do the work Of a dozen mep among

Changes have come thick and fast
in orchard practice in the last ten
years. First we had to learn to spray.
Then we had to learn to cultivate.
Then came cover crops. Now the sod

seers are suggesting that we. may he

orchard practice-this time the intro
duction Of dwarf trees.
The experiment is not yet far enough
along to admit Of drawing conclusions.
If dwarfs prove profitable it will prob
ably be by careful attention to the re-
6nements of culture, by thinning dn

Much has been said and written on
the subject of cattle feeding, and the
experiment stations have done so
much to help us in fixing rations,
Each cattle feeder, however, has de-
cided on a certain way which he claims
to be the best. I am one Of those who
by reading and studying the subject
and by actual feeding have decided
that for the average practical farmer
1t Is better to feed in the fall. | aim
to make a short and quick feed every
fall, and geter better returns than from
a longer feed.
A plan that | have always found
profitable is to keep the cattle on good
grass during the summer, and as soon
as roasting ears can be procured to
begin to feed green corn, feeding the
whole stalk. Keep the CATTLE on grass
through the whole feed, or "a long
as there is any grass, When the corn
gets dry, break the ears off, and feed
in troughs .-Farm and Fireside.
