An Anxious Boy.

While Archbishop Trench was
dean Of Westminster he delegated
Canon Cureton to preach at the alb
bey on a certain saints day. On
such days the boys Of Westminster
school attended service and after
ward had the rest Of the day as q
holiday. While Mr.. Cureton, on the
morning of the day he was to offici-
ate, was looking over his sermon at
the breakfast table his son asked, in
tone vibrating with anxiety:
Father, is yours a long sermon
taday?"
''No, Jimmy, not very"
''But how long? Please tell me" :"
"Wel, about twenty minutes, l

the weak lettuce often becomes SO dis
eased in the hothouse that it Is by no
means rare for gardener to lose an
entire crop of greenhouse lettuce by a
disease to which these overstrained
plants are particularly liable.
DR.. B. Z. Galloway, chief of the bu-
reau Of plant industry, in order to cor
rect this evil has been working for two
seasons on this subject and has at last
ter lettuce plants immune to the let
tuce disease. At the same time the
plants are Of large size and capable of
developing as early as the most spe-
cialiZed winter lettuce.
From these extra large early and
fine heads another crop was raised
and the seed sown. The seed from
successive crops. carefully examined
and selected from time to time, was
planted during the past summer in the
departments's experimental plot and
the seed finally secured carefully
guarded and later distributed to green
house men and state experiment sta
tions. 1t is believed, concludes Amer
lean Cultivator, that through this work
will be saved from ruin the winter let
tuce industry. which for the last three
years has been threatened with ex-
tinction.

There is a saying among nurserymen
that lit is the thawing and not the
freezing of the roots of trees that in
jures them." If trees arrive in a frozen
condition the best thing to do with
them is to plant them at once or imi-
tate the process as near as possible by
packing the roots in soil or sand with
out exposing them to thawing. Let
them 'thaw out slowly-the slower the
better. 1t is not a good plan to throw
the roots into water. If the roots are
allowed to thaw in a cellar without
cover or if exposed while frozen to
warm air they will be seriously in
jured.-Country Gentleman.

Age Limit of Dairy Cows.
A bulletin from the Wisconsin sta
ton states that a COW is at her best
during her fifth and sixth years, up
to which time the production of milk
and butter fat by cows in normal con-
dition increases each year. The length
of time the cow will maintain her max
imum production depends upon her
constitution, strength and the care
with which she is fed and managed.
A good dairy COW should not show any
marked falling off until after ten years
of age. Many excellent records have
been made by cows older than this.
The quality of the milk produced by
heifers is somewhat better than that
of older cows, for decrease has been
noted of one-tenth to two-tenths of 1
per cent in the average fat content for
each year until the cows have reached
the full age. This is caused by the in
crease in the weight of the cows with
advancing age. At any rate, there
seems to be a parallelism between the
two sets of figures for the same cows.
Young animals use a portion Of their
food for the formation Of body tissue,
and it is to be expected. therefore, that
heifers will require larger portion of
nutrients for the production of milk or
butter fat than do other cows. After
a certain age has been reached, on the
average seven years Of age, the food
required for the production of unit
of milk or butter fat again increases,
both as regards dry matter and the
digestible components Of the food.
A good milk COW Of exceptional
strength kept under favorable condi-
tions, whose digestive system has not
been impaired by overfeeding or
crowding for high results. should con-
tinue to be a profitable producer till
her twelfth year, although the econ
omy of her production is apt to be
somewhat reduced before this age is
reached.

In the production Of clean milk 10
one thing is Of more importance than
keeping the cows out Of the mud.
Many yards into which dairy cows are
turned each day for their drink and
exercise are knee deep with mud and
manure during the winter and spring.
if not nearly the entire year. In sum-
mer when the cows are on pasture
they would keep comparatively clean
were they not obliged to wade through
filthy yard in going to the stable.
In locating dairy barn care should
be taken to have a gentle slope from
the barn in at least one direction. af-
fording good natural drainage for both
barn and yard. If the barn is already
built and poorly located. drainage and
grading will do much to remedy the
evil. In most cases it would take but
small amount of labor with plow
ard scraper. when the ground Is in
suitable condition to handle, to give
the surface of the yard slope from
the barn sufficient to carry off the sur
face water Even if dirt has to be
hauled in from outside the yard to ac-
complish this it will not be expensive.
Tile drainage alone under yard is not
sufficient, as the tramping Of the cattle
soon puddles the surface.
A Good Hard Yard.
After the grading is done the yard
should be covered with gravel or Gin
ders. By putting the coarser in the bot
tom and the finer on top good hard

If straw is scarce, the cleanest of the

and manure on this bedded portion OF
the yard become too deep and soft they
should be hauled into the field and the
bedding commenced again on the solid
yard.
1t is advisable to haul the manure
directly to the field from the barn, but
If this is not feasible it should be re-
moved at least 100 feet from the barn.
In no case, says Professor Fraser of
Illinois, should it be allowed to accu-

FEEDING FOR MILK

Corn and cob meal, little oilmeal
and alfalfa hay produce dow of milk
equal to any other ration we know.
says Farmers Advocate. Ground oats
added in small quantities increase the
palatability of the ration without add
ing greatly to its cost. Corn silage or
root crops make valuable additions to
any ration.
Must BE Well Fed.
Cows that are capable Of producing
large quantity of milk may be ruin
ed by improper feeding. Dairy cows
must be well fed and must have the
right kind of food or they cannot pro-
duce large flow. Milk is substance
rich in protein, and this cannot be man.
ufactured by the cow from anything
that does not contain protein. In 9TH
er words. the COW cannot produce milk
from carbohydrates and fats and must
be fed a comparatively narrow ration.
Requisites For Calf Feeding.
Always keep the calf pens dry and
clean, using plenty of litter. A dirty
pen is conducive to scours. For sew
eral calves fed together fit up narrow
stalls at one side of the pen and fasten
each calf by a rope or stanchion to
feed each separately. This will pre-
vent the stronger calves from getting
more than their share. Keep them
fastened or tied for half an hour after
eating to prevent their sucking each
others ears. The pals used for feed
ing milk should be thoroughly cleansed
and scalded with boiling water each
day.
Value Of Dried Beet Pulp.
The dairy COW ration is always live
subject, and we want to make sug-
gestion in that direction, says the New
England Homestead. We suggest that
every dairyman who isn't using dried
beet pulp in his ration would do well
to investigate this supplementary feed
something While dried beet pulp is
no new thing as a dairy feed by any
means, still it is only recently that it's
use has become general. and we think
it has now thoroughly established itself
in this country, the same as it has in
Germany, Denmark and other Euro
pean countries. To fully appreciate
why dried beet pulp is such profta-
BILE feed one must realize that in ad-
dition to it's food value it is a great
aid to digestion and assimilation. Eta

Frank Selby, a scrapper
of Repute, Is in
Honolulu.

1t has just leaked out that Honolulu
has for some time past been sheltering
a lightweight boxer of class who has
so far managed TO keep his identity
completely dark
The individual in question has been
here about eight months and is at
present working in a well-known BUSH
ness house.
He is brother of Kid Mccoy ana
Lis real name is Frank Selby. In the
States he has figured in a number of
contests and has made good with some
OF the best little men in the country
He learned what he knows about the
boxing game from his distinguished
brother. and uses the same style as the
Kid when in the ring.
Selby, whose mail comes addressed
to another name. has let only a very
few into the secret o. his ability with
the gloves. When the transport
Thomas was last here he figured in a
private subscription go that was
brought off in the Kaimuki district,
his opponent being employed on the
transport. Notwithstanding the fact
that the man from the Thomas had
quite record himself, and was feav-
lily backed by some of the officers from
the vessel, the local man put it all
over the visitor and knocked him out
in the third round
Frank Selby leaves for the Coast in
May. 1t is possible that if there were
enough coin in sight. he might be per-
suaded to give a public exhibition in
Honolulu, provided a man of his size
could be found to go up against him.
