Care of the COyy,s Tents,

The care Of the teats should always
be observed by the mixer, and when
they get hard and rough should be
anointed with vaseline, as cracked
teats are an annoyance to the mixer,
hurtful to the COW and have a tendency
to lessen the flow of milk. Long fin
gernails are also a discontinue to the
COW, and the mixer should keep them
we'll pared to avoid trouble.
Some COWS will not give down their
milk for some mixers as readily as
to others, and it is often necessary to
change mixers and try to find one
whom the COW takes a liking to and
for whom she will give it down. The
holding up of the milk has a tendency
to lessen the secretion and consequent
" the flow.

1t is impossible, of course, for any

Nor does it seem possible ever to
construct g battleship powerful enough
to withstand the terrific impact of n
of the solid shots. The strongest iron
clad ever launched would be shattered
and sunk by a single missile that went
home, and any ship approaching from
the sea would have to steam fOur-fifths
across the zone of fatal danger to itself
before drawing nigh enough to give
effect to it's own fire.

In order to make these prodigious

ENOCH ARDENS IN RUSSIA,
Many Returning Soldiers Reported
Dead Find Their Wives
Remarked.

st. Petersburg.-Among the Russian
prisoners arriving from Japan there
are many who have been reported
dead by the general staff and whose
relatives had been so informed. The
unexpected temperance of these men
is causing all sorts of strange family
complications, as many wives, under
the impression that they were wild
ows, have remarked.
In the province of Perm, where a
returning soldier found his wife al
ready the mother of a child by a new
husband, he took the matter to the
village priest for settlement. The
first husband offered to acquiesce to
the new conjugal arrangement if he
received $25, but the second husband
was unable to pay the money, and it
was finally arranged that the wife
should return to her first husband.
However, as the second marriage
was considered legal, and as official
documents were at hand to prove the
apparent death of the living husband.
it was decided that the child born
while the first husband was away
must legally be registered as belong
ing to the second husband, and that
it must be cared for by him.

York legislature has passed by a very
large majority a bill to prohibit the

would buy their horses outside the
state and bring them in. The bill
passed by the assembly the other day
forbids the Importation of locked
horses. So far as the constitutionali-
ty of such a provision goes, 1t need
only be said that if the state may
prohibit the importation of harmless
oleomargarine and of lawfully killed
game birds, it must certainly possess
the power to shut out MANNED beasts
Another argument against the law
has been that a spirited horse may be-
come impossible to control If he is

In answer to this claim it is only
necessary to say that spirited horses
should only be driven by competent
drivers, and that a good driver does
hot allow the reins to get out Of his

Women Wage Farmers.

Two young Boston women, students
at the University of Chicago, have set
before themselves the difficult task of
investigating the problems presented
by the gainful employment of women
in the Upited States. So far as the
results of their inquiry have been
made available in the pages of the
Journal of Political Economy, they
are confined to an analysis of the facts
to be deduced from the census re
ports; but some of these results are
so interesting that the student of so

Polignac seized it, and wrapping him
