idea, theme, it is true which may
now and then have been oyerdone in
poem and song. While we take no
stock in the idea that newly married
couple should start out in life with
nothing but their marriage license, a
fifty cent piece and the clothes which
they may happen to have on their
backs, the mistake is more often made
of waiting too long for the accumula-
ton Of a pile sufficient to give them
most or ali of the comforts of folks
who have labored long and have ac-
quired a competence. There is no time
in life when married people are in
condition to enjoy life together, to
work harder or undergo a larger
measure of self. sacrifice than in the
years between twenty and thirty. We
fully appreciate the position of the
young man who feels loath to ask the
girl of his choice to put up with less
comfort and convenience than she has
been used to or that he gould give her
could he have his own Way, but on the
other hand he would class any young
woman as unworthy of his love and
devotion who was not willing to share
with him the inconyeniences and self
denial incident to starting out IN mar
ried life on a modest scale. And we
believe that most young women will
rise to such an occasion While there
is considerable risk in the girls marry
ing young man who does not seem
to want to be decent and saving on his
own account, we have known Of many
cases where just such fellows have
married and turned out to be fine hus-
bands and willing to work hard and
save all that was possible. There is
no safeguard that any man can have
which will serve to keep him out of
dissipation and immortality more than
the subduing and ennobling influence

the type of love and home life to be
found in the cottages rather than the
mansions of the land that has made US
great as a nation We need more and
not less of .'love in cottage"

Malcolm HI. Gardner says of Hol-
stein-F Friesians: While in character the
Holstein- Friesians are essentially a
dairy breed and are so regarded in
America, yet as an all round dairy
breed the matter of beef and veal must
not be lost sight of, and in Holland
these are very important points. There
few cattle are allowed to pass their
seventh year, but before they pass out
of their prime they are fattened and
sold as beef. Owners and breeders of
Holstein~ Friesian cattle base their
claims for the superiority of this breed
over all other dairy breeds mainly on
the following points: First, that the
Holstein- Friesian is large, strong,
vigorous cow, full of energy and
abounding in vitality; second, that her
physical organization and digestive ca
pacity are such that she is able to turn
to the best advantage the roughage of
the farm, converting the same into
merchantable products; third, that she
yields large quantities of most excel
lent milk fit for any and all uses and
especially well fitted for shipping pur-
poses; fourth, that heredity is SO firm
" established through her long lineage
that she is able to perpetuate herself
through the production of strong,
healthy calves, and, fifth, that when
for any reason her usefulness in the
dairy is at an end she fattens readily
and makes excellent beef

Test the Herd.

Every day brings tidings of the de-
struction of valuable herds of cows be-
cause of tuberculosis. Why all this de-
struction? Simply because the men
who owned the cattle did not inform
themselves thoroughly concerning the
disease. Why should farmers nurse
and coddle this disease, keep it and
hide it and refuse to know the truth,
flattering themselves in weak way
that their COWS are all right?" It is
not an expensive matter to test herd.
If the disease is there, shouldn't the
farmer know it as soon as possible? If
it presents clean bill Of health
shouldn't he be vfgilant to keep it so?
It is a simple matter. Start clean,
and then keep clean. says Hoard's Dali
ryman. Test regularly every year
Never take in an animal that has not
been tested. Use disinfectants, such
as whitewash and carbolie acid, freely
Put the King system of ventilation IN
the stable. Spend a little money to be
safe rather than lose a lot of it in
slaughtered cattle. These are all COM
mon sense precautions, just plain COM
mon sense. Some people ask us if we
think the country will ever be cleared
of tuberculosis. Probably not. But it
is no great thing for any farmer to
keep his farm clear of it, and that will
save him a good deal and the country
a little.

FEEDING BREEDERS.

Too much stress can hardly be placed
upon the kind of ration which should
be given the COW before calying, the
mare before the birth Of her colt, the
sow before farrowing and the sheep
before lambing. With all too many
stock Taisers the idea seems to prevail
that most any kind of care during the
period of pregnancy will do, when, as
a matter of fact, the very opposite Is
the case. If the dam is in poor condi-
ton before the birth of her young,
there is not only likelihood of serious
damage to her as a result of her
weakened and overtaxed condition, but
the young when born are not in
vigorous condition, but start out In

strike fair against the fall, re-
bound, and are swept away like
smoke; others, as if they knew the
spot, plunge into a wet hollow, rest
an instant from the shock, the

Cling feebly. In an instant his
broad tail is thrashing violently,
pushing him upward in desperate
flappings and wrigglings, up over
the rock, over the bodies of his fell
lows; resting here, leaping boldly
there, over little ridge, up and up,
till with one last effort he plunges
over the brim and is gone.
However it may be on other riv-
ers. the problem here is an amaz-
ingly simple one. The salmon sim

luck Or instinct, or more probably
to knowledge gained from previous
experience, to break through the
sheet of falling water and land in
one OF the numerous hollows or
crevices in the face of the rock
Then, if not stunned or swept away
in the first effort, they struggle up
the side of the rock itself, and over
the bodies of their less successful
fellows, till near enough to the top
to leap over.
Here, as indeed in most falls, one
may notice a curious rhythmic
movement Of the water. 1t rarely
pours over the falls in an even
food, but rather in a succession OF
spurts, with slower and lighter
movements between; so that, both
by eye and ear, one gets the impress
sion of throbbing in the waters

one of many arteries, and some
where behind them all a great
heart were beating and driving the
waters onward in slow, regular,
mighty pulsations. Undoubtedly the
salmon make use of this fact, rest
ing near the top of the rock for a
slower and lighter movement of the
water, when they throw themselves
over the brim of the falls and so
avoid being swept away after &C

dangerous part of their journey.
Desperate as it is, this is prob
ably the method used on other riv-
ers where salmon surmount a
waterfall which is plainly too high
to leap. DR.. 7lwood Worcester, of
Boston, writes me that while sal
mon fishing on White bay his
guides told him of a place where
the salmon climbed the cliff behind
fall, and where the fishermen col
lected barrels of fish for winter use
every season. He went with them
behind the fall, and watched for
hours as the salmon plunged in and
then began the almost impossible
task of leaping up the rock. There
as here, only fraction of the strug-
Cling fish ever reached the top.
Some of the unsuccessful ones
tried again; others sped away to
heal their wounds; the rest lay
quiet mong the rocks awaiting the
poor fishermen, of floated way to
feed the mink and the eagle. Ma

choose few, and the whole process
was accompanied by that apparent

BY VIM. J. LONG

For 20 years-ever since l first
C""vogie-I had wonder
ed how it was possible for salmon
to get up waterfall which was
plainly impossible to leap; and on
"eading the books | found that al
most every salmon fisherman for 2
centuries had puzzled over the
same problem. Standing under
these falls one day and throwing
stones at the spots in the falling
sheet of water where the salmon
were plunging in, it occurred to me
suddenly that it might be possible
to go in myself and find out what
they were doing. On two rivers
had tried 1t unsucccessfully, and
though l had glimpses of salmon
lying on the wet rocks inside the
falls, l was almost swept away in
the cataract. Here the task proved
Unexpectedly easy; for on one side
the swift flood shot far out from
the face of the rock, and the falling
sheet of water was not heavy
enough to knock one off his feet.
So, il you don't mind a soaking
which will do no harm here in the
deep wilderness, where there are
no microbes to give up cold-let
us after our salmon.
With rubber coats falling down
over waders, we slip through and
under the edge of the broad sheet
of falling water and stand close
against the rocky wall. 1t is cool
and wet here; the hollows in the
rough fave of the rock are brim-
ming over; the air is full of heavy
mist: but the flood pours over our
heads without touching us. A sal
mon is kicking violently among the
stones, and you brush him with
your foot out into the cataract. AS
we move along to the middle of the
stream. pressing close against the
wall, with the thunder of the falls
pouring over us harmlessly, we
come suddenly upon salmon every
where; on the stones, in the deep
hollows of the rock, struggling up
the SCARED and pitted face of the
cliff itself. Push on a little farther
and now you see great crevice
slanting diagonally up the wall al
most to the brim of the fall over
your head. A thin stream of water
runs through it, making a fall with
in a fall. This crevice is full Of sal
mon; some dead. some lying and
resting quietly in the hollows,
others kicking, Tapping, sliding up
wards over the wet stone and the
slippery bodies of their fellows, to
the life above.
Your first visit may solve the
problem, for this river at least; or
you may have to return again and
again before you see the thing &C.
complished from beginning to end
This is the time. for the river is
just beginning to rise after the
rains, and great runs of salmon are
moving up from the pools below;
while those that were here, resting
below the falls for the great effort,
feel the onward movement and
start upward to the spawning
grounds at the head of the river.
AS you stand here salmon after
salmon comes flying in through the
falling sheet of white water. Some
