In Kansas a progressive dairyman
tested his herd of sixteen cows. He
found eight We're making good profits
and the other eight were eating them
up.
The best way to improve the test is
to better the cow. rN9ri.r 7sl

The dual purpose COW may do for the

lost by the barn door being left open
and the calf ginning access to the chop
ped grain, the fact not being known
until too late to attempt saving 1t.
Calves grow into money about as

When calf stops growing, it is pretty

The quarters for the cows should be
put in order, so that when the frosty
nights and cold rains come the herd
may have proper shelter. Cows are
more sensitive and susceptible to cold
than most other animals on account
of the double drain upon them Be
wise and do not lay the foundation for,
disease and loss by needless exposure.
Any loss in this way in the fall of the
year puts the animals in so much
worse condition for wintering, The loss
Is not only immediate, but isrfelt all

EXCESSIVE BRIGHTNESS,
seme of The Evil ETeets Of Toe Much

Sons of the Evi Effects Of Too Much
.n,g .~, Sunlight. ~-a. ..'e, o..
a 1t is a common belief, well sup
ported by facts, that light is pow
erful agent in the cure Of many dis
eases and in the destruction Of, the
injurious bacteria that prey upon
the animal body. Experiments have
shown that these little organisms
not only will not multiply when sx-
posed to sunlight, but are even rap
idly destroyed. Experience has
taught us that disease turks in dark
corners and that light rooms are as
necessary to health as good ventila-
ton; but we are only beginning to
recognize that the sun is not alto-
gether good for u.s., Its, light must
be used in moderation, for in excess
it may do harm.
OF course every one knows that
prolonged exposure to the powerful
rays of the summer sun may bring
on a sunstroke, but it is fact not
so well known that excessive light,
even without direct exposure, may
in time seriously impair health.
Light kills bacteria by destroy
ing their substance, the protoplasm
which constitutes the main portion
of every living cell, whether animal
OF vegetable. But this effect ia ex-
erted upon the protoplasin Of our
own cells as we'll as upon that of
the bacteria, the only difference be-
ing that the protoplasm of the sin
gle cell, which is all there is Of a
bacterium, is more exposed than
that of the cells Of our bodies and
so is acted upon more promptly.
" Animals and plants are protected
against the injurious effects of light
by their color, and it is a general
rule that those plants and animals,
including man, which live in the
tropics and in other regions where
the sun shines brightest, are the
darkest in color, while those of the
cloudy north are blonds for the
most part. People Of the north who
go to the south to live soon begin to
feel the effects of the increased
light. At first this acts as stim-
ulant. The newcomer feels better,
the vital functions are quickened,
there il nothing but praise for the
wonderful climate and contempt for
the indolentnatives. But in a year
or two a change comes. The immir
grant loses tone, becomes irritable
and works less and less. The light
is working on his protoplasih, which
is not protected byfs thick a layer
efpiglqent ss that which the native
has. His nerves give out, and un-
less he adopts the light stunning
habits of those about him he must
fee north or die, 7~n'H e-' '' '"',
uH A medical writer has recently adj
vanced the theory that, American
nervousness is due, to the excess of
light here as compared to the cloud
mess Of the north Of Europe. II
this is so, the logical treatment of

reclamation law was passed setting
aside the proceeds from the sales of
public lands in certain Western States
and territories for the construction of
irrigation works within their borders.
The law at the same time provided
that every dollar SO expended should
be returned to the Government by the
settlers who take up the lands re-
claimed. In other words. the nation
made an advance of the receipts from
the sales of certain public property to
make marketable other public prop
erty. Out Of the many millions ex

and harbor improvements, not a cent
has ever been returned directly to the
Treasury, o was it expected that any

irrigation and Rivers and Harbors.
There are many people who do not
entirely understand the difference be-
tween the appropriations made for the
retaining of arid lands and those for
the improvement of rivers and har.
bors. There is a disposition to criti'
CHE Congress for permitting the ex.
penditure of millions in making hab.
table and productive large areas OF
the public domain now worthless, and
at the same time cutting down the ap-
preparation for work on our national
waterways.
Apparently the fact has been over
looked that Congress has never made
an appropriation of any specific sum
for reclamation. On June II, 1902, the
