Love Tokens.

The ancient English custom of giving
love tokens on the Goth of August died
out many years ago. The custom was
for ''enamoured maydes and gentle
women to give to their favorite SWANS
as tokens of love little handkerchiefs
three or four inches square, with a but
ton or tassel at each corner and a
small one in the center. The finest OF
these favors was edged with narrow
gold lace or twist and then folded
up in four cross folds so that the
middle might be seen. They were worn
by the fortunate SWANS in their hats
or on the breast The favors were gen
orally the handiwork of the ''faire
maybe" herself, and well she liked tC
work the most beautiful figures she
could for her fayorite sutton, but they
became so much in vogue in Queen
EliZabeth's time that they were sold
ready made in the shops. This, OF
course, destroyed the romance of the
custom, and hence its death.

sharks Delicate In Captivity.

Sharks are rather delicate in captiv-
ity and it is difficulty to keep them
in aquariums. Whatever care may be
bestowed upon them they do not seem
to be able to stand confinement, how
ever large the tank or pool may be.
In captivity sharks swim round and
round the tank, nine times out of ten
taking one course and never reversing.
A shark has been known to keep it's
course for three or four months with
out change and, except for food, never
hating, so far as it was observed. 1t
would keep going all day long and
would be found going in the morning
just the same If food was placed in
it's way, it would stop for several min
utes and eat, remaining headed the
same way. Presently it would start
on again in the same direction on its
rounds, moving slowly unless dis
turbed.

Necessities of a Happy Life.

There are two fundamental necessi-
ties for happy life namely, useful
occupation for mind and body and an
outlet for unselfish affection. The first
requisite for enduring happiness is in
having work to do in which one be-
heves. Such work always aims at the
accomplishment of something useful.
While this work must be done with
fair efficiency, it should not be accom-
panied with too much drudgery or eX-
haustion.
The simpler the plan on which ones
living is modelled the less will be the
complications and disturbances caused
by an overelaborate scale of existence
and the more time will be left for the
real duties and pleasures of life.-FrOm

Korean Children.

The children of Korea are extremely
quaint and pretty, especially when only
a few years old. At New Years they
are generally dressed up in brand new
frocks, and though, according to our
ideas of taste, we should not give vel
low sleeves to a bright red jacket and
wear this over green frock, l must
say that somehow or other it looks all
right there and relieves the monotony
of the sempiternal white garments. The
faces of the children are whitened with
chalk, and the hair is oiled and parted
in the middle, plastered down and tied
into one or two small pigtails.-Corn

FEEDING DAIRY COWS.
Experts Opinion on What Consti-
tutes a Good Winter Ration.


Experts Opinion on What Consti-
tutes a Good Winter Ration.
Dr. v. III. of Pennsylvania proposes
this very practical problem and asks
for a solution: Il have fifteen cows
milking this winter l have on hand
Is tons of red clover hay, tons of al.
falfa, 300 bushels of sugar beets, 2,40C
bundles of corn slower, 1000 bushels OF
shelled corn, and 1 thought of investing
5000 for feeds. What would you pro
poser" This question is answered by
L. w. Lightly in National Stockman and
Farmer. He says:
1--WE will suppose the doctor wants
to feed his cows six months, or 1S0
days, equal to feeding one cow 2,70C
days. He has 10000 pounds of red
clover hay, so we may allow about ten
pounds per day; 10000 pounds of aIfal-
ia, and we could allow five pounds pei
day; the slower is abundant, SO we
should shred it and feed all the cows
would care to CLEAN over and use the
rest for bedding. We would wish the
sugar beets were larger quantity
but let each COW have ten to fifteen
pounds daily, sliced or pulped, and
they will act as an appetizer and help
to keep the system in good condition
There is plenty of shelled corn, for
which we are truly thankful
Corn is good COW feed, good
horse feed, good hog feed, good
poultry feed and a pretty good human
feed. Yes, we know that corn is a very
good feed, and we also know what we
are feeding when we feed our own
golden maize, which is much more than
we can say when we feed many of the
mixtures and denominations now offer
ed by the feed dealers Well, l think
would feed about six pounds of that
cornmeal daily. / might even feed
more if the COW gave evidence that she
could handle it successfully.
Now, let the doctor buy eight tons of
the newest, sweetest, cleanest and
fakiest bran he can get and one and a
half tons of the best old process lin
seed meal for that 5000, or less if pos
sible, and feed about five pounds of
bran and one pound of linseed meal
daily. These figures are approximate
and nearly the maximum for mature
COW, a big eater and heavy producer.
Heifers and cows well advanced in pc
riod of lactation should have less grain.
The linseed meal is expensive, but the
roots will give out, and corn is heating,
so | would be sure to include it for
the health of the animal"

above all others in the promoting of

impurities out of butter when they get

must keep the milk pure.

FEEDING FOR MILK

Get quality of milk by breeding, and
quantity by feeding OF the grains,
corn and oats and linseed meal, to-
gether with alfalfa or clover hay, will
produce the most satisfactory results
in the dairy. If ensilage is fed, the
ground corn should be supplemented
by wheat middlings and bran. Buck
wheat in any form is the poorest but
ter feed. Cottonseed meal is a profit
able food when fed with grass, but
when fed with the winter ration or
dry food its tendency is to make the
butter too hard.-Farm Journal.
1t Pays to Feed Well.
The man who thinks it does not pay
to feed cows good feed or give them
good care and shelter is losing money.
He thinks that by not spending money
he is saving it. He does not get any
to spend or save 1t is like wheat. AS
long as it is in the bin it does not in
crease, but loses value. Put it in the
ground the proper way and it null
tiplies. So with money. Put it into
good cows, good feed and good barns
and it multiplies. -Farmers Advocate.
A Feeding Pointer.
Remember that the COW is a machine
that transforms the feed you cannot
eat into milk that you can consume;
therefore do not put any musty, faint
ed feed into that machine and expect
pure and wholesome milk to issue
therefrom.
Feeding Refuse Sugar.
The progress of scientific dairying is
shown by increased attention devoted
to the subject in Russian dairying sec
tons, where various systematic exper-
iments are carried on somewhat on
these lines. A recent test was to es-
tablish the effect of feeding refuse sug-
ar to milk cows. 1t was found that
the substance could be used proftably
when fed with regular grain and hay
rations, but, everything considered. it
was concluded that linseed cake was a
better feed.
Study Grain Composition.
A study of the composition of our
common feeds win richly repay our
dalrymen, says Farm Progress. There
is no good sense in feeding two grains
that are practically the same in COM
position and differ only in appearance.
One must be the cheaper. Yet many
farmers have never given thought to
this matter.
Maintaining Milk Flow.
The dairy farmers who make the
most out of the seasons work are those
who have the best cows and who buy
bran, middlings or other feed if it is
necessary to keep up the flow Of milk
and the nervous strength and power of
the cows. 1t Is easier to maintain a
steady flow than to bring COW back
to full flow after she has once fallen
off. Better buy little feed and main
tain good flow than to save feed at
the expense of the milk 6cw. 6s.x

The A2TEcs OF OLD.
Tot Only Great Soldiers, but Great Gull
tivators as Well.

The Aztccs of old were not only
great soldiers, but also diligent cui-
tivators Of the soil, and had acquired
considerable proficiency in agricul-
ture, although they had 10 horses,
oxen or other animals Of draft. To
this day the men earn their living
chiefly as day laborcrs in the fields
now owned by the Mcxicans. The
staple product now, as of yo-c, is
the maize and next to it the magucy
or agaye, the sweet sap of which is
the principal material for the ia
nous Mexican puIque.
Some species are cultivated as veg
etables, others for the sake Of their
leaves, which yield a strong fiber
that can &c woven into fabrics; {;
hence the saying that the agavc sup
plies the people with drink, food and
clothing. The men have little ambi-
ton to excel in handicraft. Farriery
and carpentry are about the only
trades they care to take up. In the
cities they work as portcrs, carriers
or peddlers in Il small way.
Like all southern Indians, their
complexion is Of ruddy chocolate
brown, and they are not particularly
good looking. Most of the women
now have large hands and feet, prob
ably the inheritance of generations
Of hard workers. And they are
strong. In the warehouse Of a wine
merchant an Aztec porter was seen
to take a cask of claret on his buck
and carry it quite distance.
The load certainly weighed not
less than 400 pounds, and no white
man would have TIL ought Of lifting
it. The law requires the people in
the cities to forsakc the Indian
brecchcloth and poncho and assume
the regulation garb of the poor
working class of Mcxico-the wide,
loose trousers Of cotton cloth or
manta, with jacket to match-but
the Brecchcloth is worn outside of
the trousers and thereby replaces
the civilized suspenders.-Southern

Most Widely Spread Animals.

TIE three animals that are most

cow, the horse and the pig. These
animals did not spread through their
own efforts, but were developed by
man and gradually rendered adaptable

himself can live.
Cattle entered America simultane-
ously with its discovery, for Columbus
introduced Spanish steers aud COWS

conditions for them. From Mexico
they spread into Texas, where the new

The pig had it's origin in India, and
its first conquest was that Of Eastern
Asia and the archipelagoes of the
eastern seas. China fell an early VIC
tin to .hc !oTs of tie pig. Records
show that the cultivation Of the grunt-
ing porker was high art in that land
as long ago as 5000 years before Christ.
One Of the greatest Of the Chinese
feast days is known by the name
"Pig."
The koran forbds the use Of pork,
Just as the Mosaic law does; hence the
pig is not raised in countries where
the Mohammedan law rules. But in
all other parts Of the world the porker
is as popular as the cow or the horse ;
and there are as many varieties of pig
due to local causes and to different
ways of breeding in different countries
as there are varieties Of horses and
cattle.
