Feeding Milk Cows.

While we have always advocated lib
eral feeding for milk cows. we do not
wish to be understood that all cows
will do better for having heavy grain
ration, says American Cultivator.
There are many that have inherited
the beef making tendency from some
ancestor Of the ShOrthorn or the Here
ford blood that will persist in putting
on fat If literally fed with grain. or at
least with cornmeal. Whole corn is
better as milk producing food, but
the COW that insists upon growing fat
instead of giving more milk when grain
fed is usually best disposed of to the
butcher. By proper care in proportion
ing her feed she may be kept in milk,
but it is usually better to let her fatten
and go to the butcher and fill her place
with cow that was naturally destiD-
ed as milk producer.

A Famous Whist Hand.

The most notorious hand of whist
ever played is that known as ''the
Duke Of Cumberlands hand" 1t has
never been definitely settled how this
hand came to be dealt, but such a Pc
culiar combinati ton naturally suggests
suspicious of foul play. The duke.
playing in the room at Bath, held in
his hands king, knave, nine, seven or
trumps (clubs): ace, king Of diamonds;
ace. king, queen, knaye of hearts, and
ace. king, queen of spades, and yet
was unable to secure a single trick and,
moreover, lost bet of 100000 upon
the hand This incredible result was
achieved as follows: The duke of
course led with trump and found his
partner void in that suit His left
hand adversary. whom we may call Y,
having ace, queen, ten, eight, and his
right hand adversary, L., the remaining
five trumps and no diamonds, the con-
sequence was that Y. trumped diamonds
twice, and Y, sitting over the duke
with better trumps, after taking the
sixth trick had the lead with the seven
remaining diamonds, and thus Y. and
Z. made the thirteen tricks

1t is not the aggregation Of wealth
which makes people happy, but the
cOntentment found in the ways of q
simple living While luxuries increase,
often thOughtlessly encouraged, the ne
cessities of life are lost sight of. 1t
is an important problem to solve what
to do to help home building, though it
takes no great calculation to find out
the fact that 100 families in small
homes OF thousand or two thousand
dollars each are great consumers and
producers of business and trade than
one or two families with all their Serv-
ants in 100000 mansion. Thorns,
thistles and wild carrots will disap-
pear from the fields and waste city

According to medical writer, the
ancient Aztec race of Mexico was far
advanced in the practice of medicine.
The native Mexicans practiced mas

ing of fractured bones. infiamed gums
were lanced with obsidian knives, ach-
ing teeth were extracted, salt was used
as an antiseptic and ground obsidian
as busting powder. Stiffness of the
muscles and joints was treated by the
sweat bath, wounds were sutured with
human hair. the actual cautery was
applied to the edges of the wounds
and venom was drawn out of poisoned
wounds by sucking. while bleeding
was practiced in obstinate headaches.

An English Ghost Story.

A remarkable ghost story is told in
the parish of Burton Agnes, England.
There years ago lived three sisters Of
the name of Boynton. The youngest
Of the three eXacted the promise from
the others that on her death her head
should be placed on a tablesin the hall.
She met with an accident shortly after
which resulted in her death. Her sis
tiers neglected their promise to her,
and she was buried, head and all. But
on the night after the burial the hall
was thrown into terrible confusion, and
the dead lady appeared to her sisters
with her head under her arm. She
upbraided them with their neglected
promise and, placing the head on the
table. disappeared. In the morning
the head was still there, and on the
coffin being dug up the body was found
to be headless. Any attempt to re-
move the head was followed by dis
turbances during the night. It was
even buried at a distance from the
house, but was restored by the ghost.
Eventually the head disappeared, but
the disturbances continue nightly in
the hall.

siraxe as n Milk Feed.

In test conducted by the Ohio ex-
pertinent station two rations were fed,
carrying practically the same amount
of dry matter. In one ration over 50
per cent Of this dry matter was derived
from silage, and less than IS per cent
was derived from grain.
In the other ration over 81 per cent
of the dry matter was derived from
grain. no silage being fed.
Ten cows, representing five different
breeds, were fed these rations from
two to four months, five COWS taking
the test the full four months:
The cows fed the silage ration pro.
duced 96.7 pounds Of milk and sos
pounds Of butter fat per hundred
pounds of dry matter
The COWS fed the grain ration pro
duced S1.3 pounds Of milk and SO
pounds Of butter fat per hundred
pounds of dry matter.
The average net profit per COW PEI
month over cost of feed was $5.S64
with the silage ration and 81. 46j with
the grain ration

The Profitable Herd,

TO get the greatest value out Of a
herd one must go behind returns from
the entire herd. 1t is not enough that
the herd pays as whole The ques-
ton concerns the product of each indi-
viduai in the herd. Does every COW in
tie herd pay a profit on her feed? For
ttihateiy or unfortunately, as one may
regard it. all cows do not produce the
same quantity or quality of milk
Though they may belong to the same
breed Or may be even closely related
they cannot be depended on TO be
equally valuable

To Determine Cows Pregnancy

The COW 10 be tested MIXED Sepa-
rately. and as soon as possible after
the milk is drawn dip straw or
timothy stem in the bucket Of milk.
Have glass of pure water at hand
and allow a drop of the milk TO fall in
the water only one. If the milk quick
ly dissipates and renders the water
murky the cow is not in calf. but if the
milk drop sinks to the bottom of the
glass before mixing with the water she
Is pregnant, says Kate NJ. Busick in
Holstein- Friesian Register.
If you are not sufficiently expert, take
the milk of another COW that has new
1y calved and pursue the same treat
ment with both at the same time, and
you will not fail to note the difference
in the way the drop of milk will mix
with the water. | have practiced this
method Of determining pregnancy ih
my herd for years, and | never knew
it to fail

Indian Ba bies.

Indian mothers have method of pre-.
venting needless crying of babies
which. though it does not err on the
side of gentleness, is efficacious. In
infancy children are entirely under the
control Of their mothers or nurses, and
therefore the Indian plan of stopping
crying and preventing the formation
of the habit is to cover the baby's
mouth with the hand and at the same
time to close it's nostrils till it nearly
suffocates. Then it is allowed to
breathe freely again, but should 1t re-
cover its breath only to indulge III an
other howl it will at once have to en-
dure semisuffocation This treatment
is repeated till the child learns that
silence is golden and ceases to use
it's vocal powers to the annoyance OF
its fond relatives.

CARE OF THE BULL.
should Have Kind Treatment. but No
Familiar peftinU

Familiar Petting.
The care of stock bull should begin
with his birth. He should be kept
growing steadily and fed that. kind Of
food which will produce good growth
OF bone and muscle without becoming
fat. Milk, new or SKINNED. ground
oats, bran or middlings and good hay
and grass are the best foods for bull
that is intended for long life of use
fulness. Also he should have exercise
by run in a pasture or yard until he
is eighteen months or two years old.
He should have kind treatment, but
no familiar petting Never on any ac-
count allow any one to play with him.
The bull should be kept in the barn
where he is near the cows and as near
as possible to one Of the main passage
ways. If near the cows, he is contented
and more quiet, and if he stands where
he constantly sees the men passing him
he becomes familiar with them and is
not so liable to become vicious. But
on no account should the men pay any
attention to him in passing, either to
quarrel with him or caress him. Let
them understand they are to let him
alone and pay no attention whatever to
him. He should be frequently let loose
in the yard with the cows, and after
two years old it is better to ~hood" him
when turned loose. He then gets the
exercise without endangering any lives
Or molesting the fence. In this way
the bull may be kept many years with
out finding out his strength, is much
healthier and safer and surer stock
liable to be the sire of quiet, pleasant
offspring.
In serving COWS one service is enough,
even better for the COW than two, and
certainly better for the bull. A cow
with one service is more liable to have
yearling bull may serve three or four
cows a week with no injury to himself
If allowed only one service to the cow
and a day or two between cows. I do

strong. 1t is the injudicious treatment
and worse than unnecessary overwork
that injure the vitality of the bull
and cause him to sire weak calves and
to have an early decline of power. A
little good judgment and common sense
would keep almost any bull in active
usefulness as long as it seemed de-
Sirable to retain him.-C. M. Winslow
in Holstein-F riesian Register.
