Habit In Aurctfte.

The so called cravings Of appetite arc
purely the result of habit. A habit
once acquired and persistently follow
ed soon has us in it's grasp, and theu
any deviation therefrom temporarily
disturbs our physiological equilibrium
The system makes complaint, and we
experience a craving, it may be, for
that to which the body has become ac-
customed, even though this something
be in the long run distinctly injurious
to the welfare of the body. There has
thus come about a sentiment that the
cravings of the appetite for food are
to be fully satisfied, that this is merely
obedience to natures laws This idea,
however, is fundamentally wrong. Any
one with little persistence can change
his or her habits of life, change the
whole order Of cravings, thus demon
strating that the latter are purely artl-
fetal and that they have no necessary
connection with the welfare or needs
Of the body. In other words, dletetlc
requirements are to be founded not
upon so called instinct and craving,
but upon reason and intelligence.-Rus
sell II. Chittenden in Century.

A Good Dairy Cow.

Head carried we'll up and set on a

ribs set wide apart, good length of
body, large barrel showing plenty Of
room for digestive organs and ca
pacity for consuming a large amount
of food, a lean back and broad hips
or wedged shaped conformation. The
COW should be of quiet disposition, sub

The Practical Joker.

See the practical joker. He is not
much of a sight, but still he is worth
looking at as q curiosity, as study in
uncommon cussedness The practical
joker is the offspring of asininity run
to seed. He is what was left over after
the rest of the world was created.
There was a slight surplus, a mere
fraction, not enough to make a COM
plete man, so the scraps were scraped
up pressed together and nodded into a
practical joker The job was not pat
ented Nobody thinks enough Of the
invention to patent it. You couldn't
sell practical jokers for 3 cents bunch
if you should stand out on the corner
and spiel till your vocal cords got tied
into double bowknots. The public is
aware of the shell game when it sees
the layout The practical joker is an
escaped idiot from the IdiOtville asy-
lum, but he is by no means harmless
idiot. When recognized, he should be
roped forthwith and hauled back to his
native and natural environment, the
padded cell.-Portland Oregonian.

King James Books.

Some very fine binding was executed
for King James l., who during his en-
tire life was an enthusiastic patron of
letters and art. In some of his books
the thistle is introduced with heavy
corner pieces, and the arms in the CEN
ter. One fine piece of w6Nk, now in the
British museum, is in bright brown
calf, powdered with fiower-de-luce.
Another folio in crimson velvet has the
arms Of England embroidered on both
sides with gold thread on a ground
work of yellow silk. The kings initials
are worked above. The lettering is In
leather, and the boards are tied to-
gether by red ribbon, constituting q
regal book in every particular John
Gibson, in Scotland, and the Bankers,
in England, were appointed to be the
kings binders, but there is little trace
Of their work now extant.

In an address at a dairymen's asso-
citation A. Fl. Harris in giving thirteen
commandments for dairymen named
the three following ones, saying:
have learned that a calf given alfal-
ia hay as soon as it will eat it will
make a better calf than on any other
roughness | ever fed. | have raised as
good calves on separated skim milk,
oil cake and alfalfa hay as can be
raised running with the cow. Oil cake
and alfalfa hay are cheaper than but
ter fat
/ have learned that it will take years
to build UP very good dairy herd and
that we must be very careful in breed
ing and purchasing our herd. My plan
in starting out would be to purchase
good heifers just a little before they
come fresh. By careful selection and
care one can build up good herd in a
few years.
I have learned great deal in the
past year, no doubt have learned only
what others in the dairy business have
learned years ago, and l expect to
learn great deal more if l stay in the
business. l intend to stay in it too.
l find that it requires attention every
day We have no days off. We do
not have to wait till the end of the
year for the harvest; it comes every
day. 1t is a very good teacher to teach
one to attend strictly to business.
When we work by the month or day
and we lay off a day ones pay stops
too. We would lay off a great many
days if we could lay off and draw pay
too. In the dairy business if we neg
lect our work for one day we not only
suffer loss of that one day, but for
days to come.

The Short And.

Brewer says the sign & is called
"anders, ampers or amprus." 1t is
sometimes called "short and" In old
en- times it was known as ampersand,
but that word long ago fell into dis
use. 1t is simply contracted and
rapidly made form of the Latin et.. The
name ampersand is derived from "and,
per see and"-that is, single symbol
which in itself is and. Ampersand,
meaning &, is used in chapter Fl Of
adam Bede" 1850; also in a poem
in Punch of April II. 1869 The first
stanza in the poem alluded to is as
follows:
Of all the types in a printers hand
Commend me to the ampersand,
For he's the gentleman Seems to me)
OF the typographical companie.
Oh, my nice little ampersand,
My graceful, swanlike ampersand,
Nothing that Cadmus ever planned
Equals my elegant ampersand!

a good plan to let folks know they were
going off so quickly"
''That is all right in principle" said
the agent, somewhat Modified, ''but
you didn't go about it in the right way.
That is not the proper kind of a notice.
Never use the word rented. in high

ST, NicIIas2~ OF SEyra.


All that is known will: any certainty
of Nicholas is the bare fact that he
lived in Asia Minor somewhere about
the beginning of the fourth century.
He was bishop of Myra, a LyciaD sea-
coast town, venerable, of course, for
his piety and benevolence, and he was
H@vered in the east at least as early as
the sixth century. In the Greek church
he takes rank Immediately after the
five great fathers, and under the name
of st. Nicholas of Myra he is esteemed
as patron saint of by far the largest
body of Orthodox Greeks, the Russian
empire. AS early as the year $50 JUS
tinian dedicated a church in CONSTANT
nOple to the renowned bishop In the
west, where for a reason he is more
commonly known as st. Nicholas of
Bari, he was acclimatized for good in
the eleventh century. His vogue in the
north began with the twelfth, but eX-
tended so rapidly that by the reforma-
ton he probably possessed in England
alone more churches and chapels dedi-
Gated in his honor than any other holy
personage.-Cornhill Magazine.

Care of Young Bulls.

"A bull should be taught to lead by a
ring in his nose before he is a year old
and when turned a year old may be al
lowed to serve few heifers, says
American Cultivator. He should al
ways be in good condition, and this ap-
plies to all young stock They should
never be allowed to fall low in condi-
ton, or they receive a check from
which they never recover. Bulls, when
required for service land this applies
to sires of all classes), should be liber-
ally fed on food rich in protein, such as
clover and bran.

Animal Having the Most Teeth.

The animal having the most teeth is
the great armadillo of south Central
fact we'll known to most people that
the normal or average number of teeth
in mammals is thirty-two-sixte
above and the same number below.
The great armadillo, however, is an ex-
ception, having from 90 to 100. He has
from twenty four to twenty-six in each
side of the upper" jaw and from twenty
two to twenty-four in each side of the
lower jaw. Another peculiarly lies in
the fact that they are all molars or

Prussian DairYmaids.

In the great Elbing dairies in west
Prussia the dairy maids are not per-
mitted to wear corsets. The different
grades of proficiency are indicated by
the caps worn. The milkmaids wear
white caps, the pupils white also, with
the addition, however, of black velvet
bands, and the dairy teachers caps
with silver lace. Many daughters Of
the landed nobility take a course In
this work, but all alike wear the uni
but waist and knickerbockers. 1t is
found that this is the most Clearly and
comfortable and serviceable in an oc-
cupation subject to various accidents.

To make a spool Of thread, says a
manufacturer, is complicated process.
Only the very best cotton can be used
for this purpose. The cotton is taken
in the raw state and torn all to pieces
by a machine called breaker. 1t then
goes through several other machines,
by which it is carefully combec and
freed from impurities. A ma lhine
called a slipper takes it up and twists
it out into soft white yarn. This is
carefully combed again, and it is taken
into another department, where sew
eral small strands of this yarn are
twisted into one fine one Three Of
these are twisted together, and you
then have six cord thread, which, after
it is bleached, is ready for the market.

HANDLING THE MILK.
Helpful Suggestions For the Guild
: nf noi

Immediately the milk is drawn from
a wire and muslin strainer, says Amer
lean Cultivator
All buckets, cans and other utensils
with which the milk is brought in con-
tact should be made of tin. Rusty YES
sells should never be used
The milk vessels should be kept clean
and sweet and washed with cold or
tepid water first, then scalded with
boiling water or steam and finished
with rinsing of lime water. They
should afterward be drained out
summed and aired
Milk from newly calved COWS should
not be used for skimming till after the
eighth milking. Milk of some such
cows is not fit for butter making for
even a longer period and should not be
used until it is in suitable condition.
The milk should be cooled quickly 20
as low a temperature as possible, and
this should be done in clean place
where there is no dust or smell
1t should be kept in a place where
the atmosphere is free from foul or III
furious odors. That which is left with
out the shelter of roof should be pro-
tected from sun or rain by some other
efficacious means.
A thermometer should be used to en-
able every dairyman to know the diff
ference between the temperature of the
atmosphere and available water; also
the temperature of his dairy, milk and
cream.
The cans of milk should be kept in
the coolest place. Night and mornings
supply of milk should be kept in sepa-
rate vessels, but may be mixed when
at the same temperature
Persons engaged in milking should
be always clean and tidy in their hah-
it's.
Wherever possible a we'll should be
sunk, so as to secure permaneyk sup
ply of cold water

Get Rid of Poor Cows.

The wide awake dairyman weeds out
the Improbable animals and replaces
them with those that are more produc-
tive, says correspondent of Michigan
Farmer. The same practice can be
profitably adopted by the general
farmer. Better care and more atten-
ton given the COWS already on the
farm will make them more profitable,
but it certainly will not pay to hire ex-
pensive help to wait on, feed and care
for cows the annual income from
which does not exceed the actual cost
of wintering.

a Balanced Ration.

II your roughness is silage or Nsor-
ghum or straw, then you must supple
ment it with different kind of con-
centrate. This last class of roughness
is deficient in flesh formers, whereas
the former class had flesh formers in
excess; therefore you must balance it
up with concentrates to the extent Of
six or eight pounds per day, such as
bran, gluten feed, alfalfa meal or al
falmo, thus providing a balanced ra-
ton which the cow so absolutely re-
quires. -Holstein- Friesian Register.

SILAGE AND THE SILO

BY the use Of the silo the corn is re-
moved from the field at time when
10 injury is done the land by cutting it
up while soft. AS the corn is cut be-
fore the blades are dry enough to shat
ter, there is no waste from weathering.
and both stalk and grain being in good
condition the whole crop is consumed
by the stock, while with dry shock
corn large percentage of the leaves
and butts of the stalk is wasted.-Pro-

ment Station.
Success With Si1age.
Silage must be more carefully han
died than ordinary roughage. One can
not throw silage around as he might
straw or hay and get satisfactory re-
suits. To get best results from silage
a little extra care must be exercised all
along the line, more care in filling silo,
care in taking silage out, care in han
ding silage in barn, care in ventilatine
stable and withal cleanliness. If one is
not willing to give this extra care the
sllo is best rot built, for this is the
price or success with silage. Silage
properly put up and properly fed is a
very cheap and most excellent feed !;
Improperly put up and improperly fed
1t may be an expensive and hazardous
