NO MAN Is STRONGER THAN
HIS STOMACH.

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles woul soon fail. phySi-
cal strength Is derived from food. If a
man has insufficient food he hoses strength.
If he has no food he dies. Food is con-
yerted into nutrition through the stom-
ach and bowels. 1t depends on the
strength Of the stomach To what extent
food eaten Is digested and assimilated.
People can die of starvation who have
abundant food to eat, when the stomach
and its associate organ OF digestion and
nutrition do not perform their duty.
Thus the stomach Is really the vital or
gan OF the body. LII the stomach is uweakv
the body will be weak also, because it is
upon the stomach the body relies for it's
strength. And as the body, considered as
a whole, is made up Of it's several mem
bers and organs, SO the weakness OF the
body as a consequence of "weak" stOm-
ach will be distributed among the or
gans which compose the body. If tho
body is weak because il is ill-nourished
that physical weakness will be- found in
all the o~rganS-heart, liver, kidneys, etc.
The liver Will be torpid and inactive,
giving rise TO biliousness, loss of appetite,
weak nerves, feeble or irregular action OF
heart, palpitation. dizziness, headache.
backache II kindred disturbances n
weaknesses.

Race CHANCES.

From the London chronicle
That Mr.. Howells is kind to the persons
and dresses of Englishwomen marks a
grateful ~change-in him or in them? In d
former book he dedicated to the English
girl a phrase which-used by a known low
err Of the slender and the delicate-had an
unavowed cruelty. The daughters of trav-
cling Englishmen. he said, had honest
cabbage roses IN their cheeks and their
hair tumbled upon their broad backs.
Elsewhere he claimed slimness as the di-
vine prerogative of the American woman.
The races change. American women have
beautiful figures, with peculiarly broad
hips, restoring the Greek ideal; England
owns the slenderest women in the world,
and Englishwomen dress as well or as IN
as the French.

Same Old Game at Oxford.

A young oxford student one day received
ar unexpected visit from his pretty sister
and was indignant that she came without q
chaperon. Look here" said the young
fellow. II will not have any of the boys
see you in my rooms, so if any one knocks
at the door you just get behind the screen"
In a few minutes a knock was heard,
and the girl ran behind the screen as her
brother went to open the door. An old
gentleman stood there, who. after apollo
giving for his intrusion, said:
II am just home from Australia, and
many years ago I occupied these rooms.
Would you allow me to look at them once
again?'
Certainly" said the student, come in"
"Ah!' exclaimed the old man, every
thing is just the same. Same old table,
same old fireplace, same old screen" -
then catching sight of the girl-"same old
dodge"
Sir" exclaimed the student, that is my
sister,
by Jove. SIR" was the r~ejoinder, same

THE EGG PRODUCING HEN.

There Is much controversy going on at
present over the identical build of the
hen that produces the greatest number of
eggs during the year. Each poultryman
has his own idea of what this form should
be SO that 1t is safe to say the argument
Is less important than we have been led 10
believe. TIL Standard, the guide book of
breeders, prescribed a certain typical form
and 1t Is safe TO be guided by this, at least
TO the extent of the size and weight OF a
bird at a given age. Beyond this IL Is Sc
riously questioned II there Is much in the
idea that the hens producing the creates
number of eggs in a year are OF a specified
formation. We ave worked on the plan
of selecting our stock as nearly to the re-
Quirements of the Standard as was pos
sible with fowls not bred for the show
Thea If any were plainly under
size or showed any deiicacy OF constitu-
ton they were discarded We have tried
TO breed so that the relation was not too
close n from stock that lad an ancestry

for early and prolific laying, In our focks
we have a number of hens of different for
nation, all of them equally good layers,
and we have one hen with the highest
record in the lot for eggs produced each
year for three years hat is decidedly not
of the form poultrymen claim is the rec
ognized egg producer. We believe there Is
moro in the question of proper size, proper
vitality and proper ancestry than there is

PROTECTING YOUNG FRUIT TREES

There are u number of good plans for
protecting the young trees from the raw
ages Of mice and rabbits, during the win
ter, several of them having been referred
to in this department. Where coal is
burned IN the farm no better use will be
found for the ashes (minus the large clink-
crs) than in packing it around the
young trees. IT requires less time than to
arrange one of the wire or tarred paper
collars, and costs nothing. Proceed after
this plan. With a rake or hoe pull away
from the tree for two feet all around it,
all the dried grass and weeds. Then mound
up SOL eight inches and cover this with
the coal ashes so that they are a foot high
against the trunk and extend 10 a foot or
more away from the bottom of the tree.
This material will pack during the winter
and offers no warmth to the field vermin.
In the spring 1t may be drawn away and
spaded into the soil where it will do no
harm ever though it does no particular
good. The plan is SO good It is worthy at
tantion-

PREPARING FOR MATCHING.

Many poultrymen begin with their incu-
bators in February in order to get the
early Matched chicks which are so desir-
able and the same plan m be carried out
with the old hen who gets broody if one is
prepared to care for the chicks which is
where the difficulty is, usually. There are
a number Of first class breeders on the
market If one has the money to buy, but
good home made brooders are readily con-
structed at small cost. Perhaps the most
simple one is that known as the direct
draft which consists in placing the lamp
in one cIrner of the box, from the outside
and arranging a narrow gutter, so to
speak, Of tin along the long way Of the
box with the opening about two inches
from the end; this forms a iue through
which the heat from the lamp passes into
the box. The box should be well lined
with building paper before the padding is
put in against which the chicks are to
huddle for warmth. Anyone who has
seen the old hen hover the chicks will
nave an idea of the requirements for a
brooder. The main precautions will be
to so rrang the lamp that 1t will not
set things afire end to arrange the box so
that the chicks will not come in contact
with the heated flues nor run any risk of
being smothered. Many an old hen who
has been carried into winter quarters be-
cause she is a good mother will begin TO
get broody early and her motherhood in
clInation should be allowed to work itself
out TO the advantage of her owner.

FEEDING THE COW FOR PROFIT

more than enough food to keep her alive
we must ascertain what proportion of the
food given is for that purpose and then,
If we desire a milk return, which we do,
feed so as to get such a return. OF course
the properly balanced ration must be
given to obtain the desired results. IT is
estimated that full GO per cent. Of the food
consumed by the COW is needed to keep her
in normal condition; that is, to live with
put giving any milk or adding materially
10 her weight. 1t is plain, therefore, that
rations of considerable quantity must be
given or else the food must be concentrat-
ed, the major portion of it, if the COW is to
be all that is desired as a dairy animal.
What the ration shall be will depend
largely upon what one has to feed, assum-
ing that all of it is not bought; if this
should be the case it is comparatively easy
to obtain the balanced ration. Where corn
must form a major portion of the ration,
in many cases 1t is the only concentrated
portion, then the roughage must supply
the protein. Here is where alfalfa comes
in so nicely. A first class ration would be
ten pounds of alfalfa, corn slower, ten
pounds; corn, ten pounds, and either bran
or cotton seed meal, two pounds. This is
probably one of the least expensive ra-
tons for winter feeding known. If tim
othy or corn slower must be used in place
of alfalfa the quantity can be increased
one-half and the bran of cottonseed meal
should also be increased slightly. With
the foods suggested as a basis for a cow OF
average weight 1t should be easy for one
to work out by a few experiments a ra-
ton suited to his particular herd.

along the same grooves, one from either
direction. If the wind is blowing hard
open the window of glass to the desired
width, pull along the n covered with
muslin and hook it TO the frame Of glass.
Enough air will come through the muslin
to give good ventilation and yet not cause
a draught. According to the weather the
window can be opened any width and the
cloth covered one put in place. The whole
arrangement is exceedingly simple and So
inexpensive that there is no excuse for
not having them in every barn. The Illus
tration shows the idea clearly.
