Not the Right Kind.

Profesesd politicians who have re
duced public office to an exact science
find the independent voter a sad stun
bling block-a fact which is amusingly
disclosed by a story found in the re-
cent life OF the late George Monro
Grant, the eminent Canadian educator
and clergyman.
Toward the end of Sir John Mac
dcnald's life he and Principal Grant,
then the head OF Queens College, met
at dinner at the house Of the premier's
brother-in-law, Prof. Williamson.
How l WISH" the premier said to
the principal, that you would be a
steady friend of mine"
MY lear Sir John" the principal
replied. Il have always supported you
when you were right"
The premier's eyes twinkled, and he
laid his hand upon the shoulder of the
principal.
"My dear man." said he, 4 have nc
use for that species of friendship"

D1sinfectiOn of Stables.

In discussing the Importance OF the
disfnfection Of stables and the danger
of neglecting it DR.. IIaring of Califor-
mia points out that negligence III prop
erly disinfecting stalls and stables
where animals affected with contagious
diseases have been is frequently the
cause Of Il reappearance Of the dis
ease The germs Of CHAMBERS, for ex-
ample, may remain alive in stables for
several months after the diseased ami
mails have been removed, and if thor
ough disinfection is not resorted to all
animals housed in the stable are sub
ject to infection from this source.
MANY failures to eradicate tuberculosis
from dairy herds by the repeated appli-
cation Of the tuberculosis test and the
prompt removal of all reacting animals
are due to the fact that the stables
were not disinfected." tuberculosis
spreads rapidly among cattle closely
herded together. To prevent this sta
bles should be thoroughly disinfncted at
least once Il year.

Do Bees Think.

Maurice Materlinck. the Belgian
writer, adduces a number of interest
ing facts, in an article in Harper's
Magazine, to show that bees have the
power rf thinking. Transported to Cal
ifornia. he says, our black bee com
pletely alters her habits. After one or
two years, finding that summer is per-
petual and flowers forever abundant,
she will live from day to day, content
to gather the honey pollen indis-
pensable for the days consumption
and her recent and thoughtful observa-
ton triumphing over hereditary expe-
rience, she will cease to make provis-
ion for her winter. Buchner mentions
an analogous fact: In Barbados, the
bee whose hives are in the midst of the
refineries, where they find suger dur
ing the whole year, entirely abandon
their visits to the flowers.

The Manure Heap.


Though by fermentation and by fork
Ing Over the manure is made fine and
soluble, it must not be overlooked that
the process is 4 gradual one, and hence
every rain that saturates the heap car
rics downward the soluble parts as
soon as the manur is decompoSed.
The jet-black liquid that flows off
from the heap is the richest Of the
farm, and as 1t passes away the ready
plant food which is dissolved in it is
lost, leaving behind 4 mass Of matter.
often supposed to be the most valuable
because of its bulk, but which really
Is not worth the labor of hauling to
The field. Unless the manure, therefore.
be carefully preserved, it will be value
less. 1t should be protected from
drenching rains and the influence of
heat from the direct ray of h sun.
Plenty of absorbent material ShOuld be
added to absorb the volatile matter,
and water is also beneficial to the
heap, provided that it does not drench
or flow off. The manure heap should
be worked over occasionally. in order
to prevent "~fre-fanging." This may
require additional labor, but i saw
ing of the essential elements Of the
manure will be more than a compen-
sation for the time we'll expended. The
principal rules to be observed are to
prevent loss by rain. preservation of
volatile matter with moisture and abb
sorbents, ave the manure fine. and
also to endeavor to have it thoroughly
decomposed.

Blood Gets Sour.

At this time Of year, says a we'll
known authority, the Kidneys become
weak, clogged and inactive, failing to
filter out the poIsons and acids, which
Soul the blood, causing not only ia
cial and bodily eruptions, but the
worst forms Of rheumatism, Nervous
and Stomach troubles, Backache and
painful, annoying Urinary Affections.
1t is worth any ones time now to

Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, n ounce; Com,
pound Syrup s~arsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking we'll in a bot

This simple homemade mixture will

The following rules issued by the
New York board of health for the
guidance of c~onsumptives might very
well be followed rs nearly as possible
by all:
MMaver sleep or stay in a close room.
When indoors remain in the sunniest
and best ventilated room-one, if pos
sible, which has no carpet.
Have at least one window open in
your bedroom.
Have a room to yourself when posi-
Bile, and at I'M rate have your own
bed.
Go to bed early and sleep at least
eight hours.
Avoid draughts, dampness, dust and
smoke.
Keep your feet warm and dry.
Don't wear a chrest protector.
If you have to work, take every
chance to rest that you can.
Avoid eating when mentally or bodily
tired, or when in a state of nervous ex-
element.
Eat plenty Of good and wholesome
food.

Value of EnSilaSe.

Ensilage is valuable as a means Of
dieting stock in winter, affording them
green, succulent food at that season,
when nothing but the dry material can
be had. For that reason, if for no
other, it is a valuable adjunct to the
crops used for food. The farmer who
has no ensilage, but who stores in a
crop of sugar beets, mangels, turnips,
carrots or potatoes, will find himself
fortunate in having a variety. There
is no difficulty in feeding roots if they
are properly stored. Roots are injured
more by heat tina by cold. Freezing is
not injurious if roots are not thawed
out too suddenly. BY keeping them at
an even temperature they will last
until the summer opens.

A Fine Shade Tree.

The tulip tree, one of the most orna-
mental Of our shade trees, succeeds
we'll when transplanted, after the leaf
buds begin to appear, but it is pretty
sure to fail if removed earlier. Such,
at least, is the reported experience of
one who planted a row of them a mile
long, the trees being six to eight feet
high, Of which hardly m in a hundred
was lost. Possibly, however, there was
something in the soil or situation which
gave him success, n the rule may
not work in all cases. The tulip is well
worth experimenting with, for when
grown it is a handsome, symmetrical
tiful blossom.

Simple Test for Small Seeds.

The gravity method of seed separa-
ton here illustrated is the old time
practice of ~"brining'' wheat. barley,
oats, etc. before sowing, but applied to
seeds Of much smaller size, such as to-
mato and eggplant seeds. AS used at
the New Jersey experiment station, the
bottle at A in the cut contains pure
water, upon which man seeds are
seen as floating and a larger number
at the bottom. These light, floating
seeds are to be rejected. In the bottle
at B is a 90 per cent solution of com
mon salt Ca very thin strip would have

The Melon Aphis.

The melon aphis (-Aphis gossypil) is
generally distributed throughout the
United States, but is especially injuri-
u in the Southwest, according to a bull
letin issued by the United States De
partment of Agriculture. 1t attacks :
great variety of economic plants belong
ing to different families. The natural
enemies OF the pest are ordinarily not
sufficient to hold it in control. 1t may
be destroyed by fumigation with car
bon bisulphid or by the use of pyreth-
rum, tobacco fumes, or kerosene emul-
sion. Treatment with kerosene emul-
sion has the advantage that it is also
destructive to Il considerable variety Of
other insects which attack cultivated
plants in conjunction with the melon
aphis.

HOrseHcSh La Food.

1t would be, perhaps, inaccurate to
say thai horsefesh is becoming appre-
ciated in France to an increasing de
gree. Necessity may be as potent a
factor in the case as choice. But what
ever the explanation, there can be no
doubt that the consumption of horse
flesh is increasing in Paris to an enor.
NOUS extent. In 1899 the years con
sumption was about 5000 tons, a total
which one would scarcely expect to see
largely augmented within a brief per.
iod. This, however. is what has hap.
pened. The consumption at the n of
1906 had more than doubled. 1t stands
