THE SocfnI CanitnF.

We do not think that either Washing
ton or New York or any other city will
ever become the social capital Of the
United States as London is the social
capital of Great Britain. Washington
will come much nearer to it than it
does at present, but the country is too
big to have a social capital. Hordes of
people will come to New York to make
money, to amuse themselves, to study,
TO live their lives in the least restricted
atmosphere that the country offers, but
only very rich people will come here to
find and occupy a place in organized
society. Pleasant people will always
find pleasant playmates here. There is
no lack of good company for everybody
that is companionable. But the charm
of New York for people who still live
elsewhere is not in its society, but in
it's shops and shows, it's sunshine, its
eating and its drinking. 1t is pleasant.
1t grows finer every day When it is
finished it will be a marvellous city. but
hardly the social capital of the coun-
try -Harper's Weekly.

Professor Beal who complies most Of
the farm experiment bulletins Of the
department of agriculture, "cornstalks
form a large part of the roughage fed
to stock during the winter, and the
greater portion of the stalk below the
ear is wasted. In an experiment at the
New Jersey station it was found that
Of 200 pounds of stalks fed to cow
during ten days sixty pounds, or 80 per
cent, remained uneaten.
"Shredding would no doubt result in
more complete consumption Of the
stalks, and, according to the New Jer-
seq station, at least five-siAths of the
80 per cent waste in the experiments
could be prevented by using a well
built silo; besides, y per cent more
milk could be produced from the silage
than from the dried stalks"

The knowledge That PAYS.

If you glance round at the work Of
some OF our big men you will be sur
prised to see how many have made
their reputation by doing one small
thing, but doing it well. If man gets
to the front in one narrow subject the
world credits him with knowledge Of
all the rest. 1t is, however, even easier
to acquire a large general knowledge
than an advanced special knowledge Of
one narrow subject. The speciality
must not be too narrow either. 1t is
often said that the pursuit of knowl-
edge has a nobility of its own But
what knowledge. No knowledge is
worth obtaining for its own or any
other sake unless it is or will probably
be useful to man.--James Swinburne in
Electrical Review.

FEEDING FOR MILK

Chemical analysis and digestion ex-
periments indicate but very little diff
ference in the ndtritive values of the
linseel oil meal and cottonseed meal,
but American experience tends to show
that the former may be safely fed with
greater liberality than the latter and
continued for longer term, says
Hoard's Dairyman. Heavy feeding Of
cottonseed meal to steers can be safely
continued for not more than two or
three months. and for milk cows, espe-
cialiy where highest quality of product
is required, we consider two pounds
per day about the limit.
Cabbage For Cows.
feed cabbage every year to my
cows. We sell the butter to our neigh
bors, and we never have had any fault
found. I always feed right after milk
ing and never before. I should judge
that | feed fifteen or twenty pounds
apiece 1T a time with any kind of grain
or without any grain. This makes
splendid feed. Cows give lots of milk
on it. We use the milk on the table
and never see any difference in it

TIE Ha Nafinn Death PRAYER. /.

Upon the minds OF such Il people as
the Hawaiians were, while under their
ancient form of religion, it wass but
natural that superstition should gain, n
rooted hold. The most curious and eff
fectiye belief to which they We're made
subject was that man can be prayed
to death, a. belief that survives among
the natives to the present day Fu
the success Of the tragical death prayer
it was necessary to obtain some hair
or a piece OF finger nail Of the intended
victim. A priest was then employed
to use incanta ton and prayer sfor his
destruction Always informed Of thn
doom that the priest yTt,s invoking upon
him, the victim generally pinned away
and died.
There is 4 story that an LnghshLlan
in the service Of Kamehalncha l. hay
ing incurred the disDleasCre OF a priest,
tie latter proceeded u remove him
by the death prayer process. The An
glo-Saxon, however. set up an opposi-
tioa altar in dqrision and jokingly pro-
q Ucl that re intended to pray the
~ r5t TO death. Alarmed at the threat
and overwhelmed at the failure of his
oW4 nominations, the sorcerer died,
proving by his death his faith in his
religion

a fearful state of exhaustion their
tongues lolling out and they nearly
dropping with fatigue. Apparently the
header of the flock had approached the
hole at spot where it was too Doggy
to get to the water and com1enced to
walk round. Before he found safe
place he had joined the tail OF the
flock. They ALL being anxious to get
drink, gradually quickened their pace
until they were racing round as hard
as they could go. Had he not arrived

The Dairx Calf

Although good COWS can be found in
oil communities they are comparative
ly scarce. and the heifer calves from
them should certainly be raised. Where
the whole milk is disposed of and no
skim milk is available this is not so
easily done, but it will pay to feed the
best calves whole milk for a few days
and then gradually substitute some
other calf food. In this way, if little
care is exercised, excellent dairy calves
may be raised on a small quantity Of
milk.
