FEEDING FAT. INTO MILK.
Experiments Have Proved That the
Feeding Has Not Much influence
on the Quality of Milk.

We can breed fat into milk or breed
1t out, but we can make scalcely any
difference by feeding. The COW goes
along as she was made, giving milk of
a certain percentage according to her
individuality. Certain families of cows
have been bred for a large percentage
Of fat so long that the trait has become
established. Now it is a breed charac-
ter as with the Jerseys and Glernseys.
Ii you wish to raise the percentage of
fat in the milk Of succeeding genera
tons, you must set to work in ODE
dience to this physiological Jaw and
breed for it by infusing the blood of
butter-bred cattle.
There is not a farmer in the land
who would think of putting an in
creased percentage of speed into a trot-
ting horse by any special feed, says
the Midland Farmer. The horse must
be fed, of course, and rightly fed.
but the function ef speed lies beyond
the stomach, in the mechanical make
up OF the body and the nature of the
mind or spirit. TrOtting horses can
be produced, by long years of selection
of the parents with anteeedent talent
in their respective lines.
But the average farmer has strange
notions on this breeding and feeding
question. What he knows. or thinks
he knows, about either, has come to
him on the wind. He cannot tell where
he got it. He has never made either
breeding or feeding a subject of men,
tai study. Haphazard has been the
source Of his knowledge and ~haphazard
are his ideas and practice Of the same.
It is one Of the commonest things to
hear farmers stoutly declaring that
they know that the percentage of but
ter fat in cows can be changed by feed
ing. Yet, in all this, they know what
no student or body of scientific men
has been able to find by the most care
full and long continued experimental
ton. The latest trial is by Cornell
college, at Ithaca, N. Y. They took a
he'd of ten cows, and worked with
them a year, trying all sorts Of meth
DDS, TO increase the percentage of but
ter rat. They tried starving down and
feeding UP, and with 1t all, they could
only make a change Of one-fourth Of
one per cent.

Mrs. EhesIerI urpy

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins a child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women actlike a irebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency. 1.-THE blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like a ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you all the nses perverted,
morbidly sensitive TO light and sound ;
pain in the %ovaries, and especially
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; dyspepsia, and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of INT testify to this fact.

SMITH NEVER pIssENTEp.

Sec Shaw and Senator TON" Car

says the Brooklyn Eagle. when the
secretary of the treasury told 3 good
one about a man out in an Iowa
town who was never known to disagree
with a statement of another, no matter
how improbable it might be.
"One day a group of fellows deter
mined to see if they couldn't get Smith
-Tl call him Smith," said Sec Shaw,
"to express a dissenting opinion. So
when Smith came along one OF the boys
said:

the other day, Smith. As ! was coming
into town through the hills yonder /
saw a buffalo up a tree eating grapes, so
shot him. Did you ever see a buffalo up
a tree. SMITH
"'Well, | can't say that / have re-
turned Smith, regretfully.
What persisted the story-teller,

THE PLAN OF THE BORDER.

frames covered with tightly-stretchad
cotton cloth are fitted. This makes a
little cloth-roofed lean-to over the Dor
ders. The rafters against the end of
the house are about 80 inches long and
against the greenhouse where the bor-
der is wider, about 4S inches. This is
a perfectly neat arrangement and
when the cloth roof is on tight, and
the cellar window at G is open, it
makes a miniature greenhouse warmed
by heat escaping from the furnace in
the cellar, and If the sashes that form
the front of the greenhouse are taken
away it all forms part of the green
house. Now from my knowledge of
managing cold frames and hot-beds as
well as fire-heated plant houses I
should judge that such plants as ger
aniums, and the cooler-blooded bed
ding plants, could be put out at least
five weeks earlier than without this
protection and artificial heat. I notice
that nearly every house which is heat
ed with a furnace has one or more
cellar windows open in all but the cold
est weather to let out the heat radiat-
ing from the furnace, and which is not
conserved in any way for heating the
house. By conserving this waste as
Mr.. Root does, many a family might
have a miniature garden weeks before
the outdoor season. Lettuce and
onions would be ready to use about
the time of outdoor sowing, and straw
berries planted where they could be
warmed in this way could be advanced
three or four weeks. All would de-
pend upon the amount of heat given
out by the cellar, and the size of Dor
der. For nearly hardy stuff like on
ions, lettuce and Strawberries, the
cotton cloth would be all that is nee
essary, but in exceptionally cold nights
1t might be necessary to cover with
blankets or sheets In addition. The
cloth roof should of course be movable
and thus allow warm spring rains up
on the border when they fell, and also
permit ventilating.
