Tho CoIauoId Sheen.

Cotswold sheep have been bred pure
for at least three centuries. The Cots
void Of to-day is in many ways at
variance with the old type and it is
seldom now that we see a flock OF
pure bred Cotswold that cannot lay
claim to the ideal type of a combined
wool and mutton sheep. True, they are
as large a breed as we have, but did
you ever know Of a market on which
a prime Cotswold lamb would not bring
the top figure?
Some very careful experiments have
been made in recent years to test the
different breeds for profitable feeding.
The Cotswold is always right at the
top. The nov desirable export trade
demands the heavy weights that Cots
wolds make at two or three years.
CotSEold rams have been used by the
largest sheep company in the West
chiefly for the last fifteen years. New
stud breeding focIzs are being founded
ali over the country 70 supply the de-
mand for Cotswold rams that is in
creasing with each succeeding year.
As sheep of beauty and high char
acter in their whole general appear
ance, it car be said that no other breed
equals them, and for zeal sterling quail
tiles as a wool and mutton producer,
they are than holding their own
in this country.ICorrespondence Pro-

Death a New Birth.

Those who die in the fear of God
and in the faith of Christ do not really
taste death; to them there is no death,
but only a change of place, a change
Of state; they pass at once into some
new life, with all their powers, all
their feelings unchanged; still the
same living, thinking, active beings
which they were here on earth. .
What comfort for us who must die.
what comfort for us who have seer
others die, if death be but a new birth
into some higher life; If all that il
changes us is our body-the mere
husk and shell of us-such a change
as comes over the snake when he
casts his old skin and comes out fresh
and gay, or even the crawling cater.
pillar. which breaks it's prison and
spreads its wings to the sun as a fair
butterfly? Where is the sting OF
death, then, if death can sting, and
poison, and corrupt nothing of us for
which our friends love US; nothing OF
us with which we could do service to
men or God? Where is the victory OF
the grave, if, SO far from the grave
holding us down, it frees us from the
very thing which does hold us down
the mortal body?-Charles Kingsley.

Effect Of LIQUOR Shown.

Prof. Kraepelin of Heidelberg, has
been engaged for a long time on an
Investigation into the various effects
of alcohol on users in normal healthy
condition. He has found that the use
of a half ounce of spirits, equivalent
to an ordinary glass of whisky, affects
ali Of the vital functions of the user
both physical and mental. Having
first found what an individual could do
I'm normal condition, he observed the
same person thirty minutes after talk
ing the spirits, and found that if the
healthy vision will enable the subject
TO read letters thirty feet away. after
using the ounce of spirits he cannot
read them more than from eighteen to
twenty-five feet away. A correspond
ing result vas observed in the ability
TO discriminate ~colors; also it was
noticed that forms and shapes were
blurred and indistinct. This palsy of
the vision is, of course, much more
marked in the case of a drunken man.
Similar results were perceived in the
action of all the senses.-Ram's Horn.

Teliing Horse,s Acc bx reeth.

A writer on the horse asserts that
the lower front teeth, if healthy, and
natural, are practically an accurate
guide in determining his age. He says:
"A yearling has very short teeth, with
deep cups in the centre; the two end
ones being shorter than the others. A
two-year-old has short teeth, with COM
paratively shallow cups. A three
year-old has two long teeth in the en-
tire, with two shorter or cold teeth
on either side. A ~four-year-old has
four long teeth, with one short one on
either side. A fve-year-old has six
long teeth, with deep cups in the CEN
tres. A ~six-year-old has shallow cups
in the two centre teeth. A s~eVen-year-
old has the centre teeth worn nearly
smooth, and the cups of the second
pair shallow. An eig~ht-year-old has
the second pair worn nearly smooth.
A t~en-year-old is commonly spoken Of
as a 'smooth-mouthed' horse; that is,
no cups. As the animal grows older the
teeth become worn in proportion. The
corners of the end teeth become round
ed. To tell the age with any degree
Of accuracy beyond twelve years re-
quires much experience and the ex-
animation of many sets Of teeth."-

in quoting me on this topic, let them
commit this to memory, that they
may repeat it IS they need it: / do
not know one good thing about the
saloon. 1t is an evil thing that has
not one redeeming thing in its history
to commend it to good men. 1t breaks
the laws of God and a 1t desc
crates the Sabbath; it profanes the
name of religion; It defiles public or
der; it tramples under foot the tender
est feelings Of humanity; it is a moral
p~estilence that blights the very atmos-
phere. of town and country; it is a
ity, a clog upon progress, a check up
on the nobler impulses: It is. an incen-
tive to falsehood. deceit and crime.
Search through the history of this
hateful thing, and read one page ove
which some mother can bow her CRATE
full head an thank God for all the
saloon did for her boy. There is no
such record. All its history is written
in tears and blood, with smears OF
shame and stains of crime and dark
blots of disgrace"
This is a terrible arraignment of the
great evil. But it is true-every word
of it-and he might have even used
stronger language to condemn the evil.
Surely neither proprietors o defend.
ers of the saloon can find any comfort
in the accusations made against the
saloon by Mr.. Observation-Disclosures

rora.aux a. . Disipfeotapt.

A reader asks: SIS copper Sulphate
the same as blucstone? Is the Bor-
deaux mixture safe to use on the rough
walls of an old house that we wish to
use. as a pen for shoats? Can it be
used on animals to rid them of vermin?
Would it do for spraying the stable
floor or the manure piles?" Some Of
these questions show how much need
there is for more knowledge among
country dwellerG and in the homes of
our farmers in regard to the nature n
composition and the primary chemical
relations of the substances with which
i. the soil tiller m in daily contact
the air, the water, the soil, the fertiliZ-
ers or f~ertilizi1S and other chemicals,
etc. Every farmers boy, and every
girl who may be supposed to become a
farmers wife some day, should receive
some instruction about the nature of
the ten or twelve most important ele-
ments which figure in the composition
of the soil and soil products, and Of the
simpler compounds. Sulphate of cop
per (the chemical combination of cop
per and sulphuric acid is also known
as blue vitriol and ~bluestone, and is in
itself one of our most valuable and
most effective disinfectants. I use it
quite freely in our sinks, u cesspools
(f we have any, Il drains and sew
ers, on the damp cellar floor, etc. In
simple solution it is undoubtedly more
powerful for such purposes than Bor-
deaux mixture, which is a weakened
form of the b~luestone, thus reduced
only for the purpose of preventing in
furious action on plant tissues and of
insuring better and longer adherence
to leaf structure. For washing rough
walls a simple solution is probably
preferable. But bluestone, while n
of the best Of all germ destroyers and
~preventives for the spread of disease, is
not an insecticide. 1t cannot be used
on animals or in stables for killing
vermin. The sovereign remedy for
that purpose is kero enc, or possibly
still better, crude petroleum. The lat
ter may be used in full strength on any
of our domestic animals without dan
ger. 1t is good for sores and wounds,

Protatable Cabbage crop.

Cabbage is 4 gross feeder and wants
an immense amount of fertilizer to do
its best, but it never pays to be sparing
with the fertilizer for any crop, because
lfberality along this line is true econ
omy.
An average crop of cabbage is about
thirty tons per acre. This will remove
from the soil in plant food $50 pounds
nitrogen, $50 pounds potash and 200
pounds phosphoric acid, so that in cal
cuiating our fertilizer requirements,
this gives us the key to what kind OF
fertilizer we want. A good cabbage
fertilizer would analyze: 9 to 10 per
cent. potash, 8 per cent. p~hosphoric acid
and 4 per cent. nitrogen. The muriate
of potash is the cheapest form in which
to get the potash. Some growers pre-
fer the sulphate, but the chlorine in
the muriate acts as help to keep the cut
worm in check. Nitrogen should be in
the shape of nitrate of soda, particu-
larry on the earlier crops, as the or
ganic fertilizers are slower in their ae-
ton, particularly early in the season.
The best organic nitrogen medium for
this crop is castor pomace, which is
sure death to all worms n slugs OF
n species in the soil. The tendency
among a number of cabbage growers
to use phosphoric acid and nitrogen
only on this crop has always proved
disastrous, for if there is any n crop
that must have a well-balanced ration
of plant food, it is cabbage, and with
out the potash this cannot be given it.
In setting out the plants, choose a
cloudy day, if possible. Run burrows
with a small scooter 81 to 4 feet apart,
as shallow as possible, and in this fur
row set the plants about IL inches
apart. The plant bed should be well
watered before beginning to remove
the plants so that considerable moist
soil will adhere to the roots and help
the young plant to overcome the shock
of TRANSFORMING. A fat drill, making
a cut about 8 inches wide, is better for
TRANSFORMING than q round dibble, max
ing a round hole. If the soil is some
what dry at transplanting time, d little
water should be poured in the hole af-
ter the plant is put in place. This will
help it to start growing.
The after cultivation OF the crop
should be frequent and thorough, the
idea being to keep the plants on the
jump and a quick growing plant is al
ways a thrifty one, and is more apt to
escape the various diseases, blights,
etc, that come nee in a while. Time
and space will not allow me just now
to go into details Of markets, market
ing, ETC., but 1 will say, that the crop
deteriorates if left too long in the field
after coming to maturity. Gather the
heads when dry. Never ship wet cab
bage. Put in crates, not barrels, as
they will heat in barrels more readily
than in crates, and do not ship any
culls. Feed them to the stock or the
poultry. Take care of your reputation,
and you will never need to regret grow
ing q crop Of cabbage.-C. K. McQuar-
RE, in the Progressive Farmer.

majority of the railroad companies of
the country, compiled by the Railroad
Gazette, show that approximately 1892.
miles Of the new main track have been
built in the United States in the calen-
dar year 1904, this total comparing
with 5to2 miles in 1908 and being the
smGllest construction reported since
1888, when 2265 miles were built. The
falling off is attributed Il the suspen-
sion OF work by some Of the larger rail
roads, including the Rock Island and
the Pennsylvania, owing to the de-
preston in business. The largest de-
crease reported is in Oklahoma Terri
tory, where only 1913 miles were built,
as against 661 in 1908. Texas leads
the list with 323 miles of construction
and Alaska is near the end Of it with
fifteen miles of new track. New main
track mileage is reported from forty
three States and Territories. No new
mileage was reported from Connect

How BlackIeg spreads.


The State Veterinarian of Missouri
says: 1t is often very difficult to tell
how b1ackleg gets introduced into GER
tain neighborheods. 1t often breaks
out in a county where nothing Of the
kind has ever been heard of before and
where the manner of its introduction
is not apparent. Yet it is known that
the disease never breaks out anywhere
unless by some means the germs have
been introduced there. Let us observe
that the disease is due to a very small
germ, the swelling which it causes con-
tanning millions Of them. Although
these germs do not thrive in the pres
ence OF the oxygen of the air, they
have sufficient vitality to live, in the
form of spores, for an indefinite period
on pastures or any grounds that once
become contaminated with them. AS
a rule the hide is taken from the car
cass of the calf that dies with black.
leg and sold and the carcass is left
lying around OF the ground. Hogs,
dogs, buzzards, ETC., eat Of the carcass
and spread pieces of it over the
try, and in so doing spread the germs
of the disease. Taking these facts in
to consideration it is really strange
that there is S % little blackleg instead
of so much. Once scattered over the
surface of the ground, the germs are
washed into the streams and carried
long distances, and during overfows
are spread over low grouno. When
the are LETT lying on the sur
faces of the ground the germs have a
chance to become generally distrib.
