Eiuhty Deqrees of Frost.

It is difficult for us to form any
conception of the degree of cold
represented by the so degrees of
frost recorded from certain parts of
Russia. Sir Leopold McClintock
tells how in one of his arctic expedi-
tions a sailor was foolish enough to
do some outdoor work at precisely
this temperature. His hands froze,
and when he rushed into the cabin
and plunged one of them into a ba-
sin of water so cold was the hand
that the water was instantly con-
verted into a block of ice. At 25
degrees, DR.. Kane says, ''the mus
tache and under lip form pendu-
lous beads of dangling ice. Put out
your tongue and it instantly freezes
to this icy crusting. Your chin has
a trick of freezing to your upper
jaw by the kindly aid of your beard.
My eyes have often been so glued as
to show that even a wink was un-
safe. dundee Advertiser.

Sheep In the Middle West.

The poorest class of sheep on the
market today is the ill cared for lot
raised in the agricultural states. These
breeders, as rule, use good rams, but
they fall far short of giving the flock
proper attention. The whole bunch is
put on pasture in the spring and al
lowed to REMAIN there until winter,
while with a few hours work a patch
of rape could have been planted or the
fence repaired so they could have had
change of pasture. Sheep iced lit
tie attention, the same as any other
stock or business. When they are well
cared for they cap the climax for prof
its.
Farmers of the middle west should
breed more registered sheep of the
mutton breeds. The rangemen come
east for their rams, and we should be
producing fifty head where one is
raised now.-H. A. Chandler in Breed
er's Gazette, Chicago.

CATARRH YIELDS
To Healing Air of Hyomei. Sold
Under Guarantee by Gra-
ham s. Wells.

Catarrh ia the most prevalent disease
known to humanity. Probably ninety
per cent of the peop pie in this country
suffer at one time or another with this
common disease.
It is germ disease and hence can be
cured oplv bv some method that will
reach and destroy the germs.
This is best found in Hyomei, which
may be called the direct method of treat
ing catarrh, as its medication, taken in
with the air you breathe. goes directly
to every air cell in the nose. throat and
lungs; kills all catarrhal germs: heals the
lrritated mucous membrane and vitalizes
the tissues so as to render catarrh no
longer possible.
The unique way in which Hyomei is
sold should dispel all doubt as to its cura-
rive properties, for Graham & Wells give
their absolute guarantee to refund the
price to any catarrh sufferer that H Hyomei
tails to benefit. You do not risk cent
in testing its healing powers: What offer
could be more fair to you than this, where
leading druggist takes all the risk of
Hyomei giving satisfaction, and leaves
you to be the judge.

Think Success,

The oftener one gives exercise to
any faculty-uses, not abuses, it
the stronger and more flexible it
becomes. A Frenchman said once
on a time that whenever he wanted
a book on a certain subject and
could not find it he wrote one.
There is a tremendous lesson in
that. 1t means that each of US
can find out as much about any
thing we wish to be informed upon
as any other human being in the
world if we will only determine to
do so. We can achieve and conquer
anything another can if we make
up our minds to the performance of
it and make the determination the
law of our life. Success has its
laws, the basic principle of which
is, "Give your best to get the best" "
A writer on mental forces says,
"Think success and you win sue

Not much is done in the gardening
line on the average farm in February,
but those who make a business of
market gardening are actively getting
their hotbeds ready and planting with
vegetables to be forced for the early
market. In the Boston district lettuce
and radishes are the main reliance for
this purpose in the early hotbeds. Lat
er tomato plants and cucumbers are
started to be set in the ground at the
approach of warm weather. Cabbages
for the early crop are planted about
the middle Of February. Tomatoes in
tended to be transplanted in the open
ground are not planted until the very
last of the month, but some are planted
early when intended to be transplant
ed into greenhouses.
In sowing seeds some very fine earth
should be planted free from Jumps and
pebbles. They may be started in boxes
in a warm room in a house if desired,
although they will not grow so fast as
in q hotbed.-American Cu3tivator.

Met q Difficult Matter to Determine

Ns< 4 Difficult Matter to Determine
Vitality Of Ears.
There is serious danger that this
wears corn crop win be limited by
poor stand of plants.
Many growers will be compelled to
buy seed. In such cases do not risk
purchases from different latitude. II
good seed of a productive variety can
not be bought near home. then make
sure that the seed has been grown in
section having a similar growing sea-
son, advises writer In National
Stockman and Farmer. Even if the
corn is sold as tested seed buy early
enough to enable you to make test
for yourself before planting.
The First Thing to Do.
The first thing to do is to test the
corn that one is planning to use. II
will pay to do this right Make some
boxes three inches deep and, say. eight
cen inches square. Partly fill with
sawdust or any other material that
will hold moisture. Place on this a
square of muslin that is marked In
one inch squares and numbered. On
edcQ square place lOuI hcIuciS VI SoAh
taken from different parts of the ear,
one square for each ear that is to be
tested. Give the ear the same number
as the square by writing the number
on a slip of paper and tying it around
the ear. Cover the corn in box with
a pad that will hold the moisture, and
keep the box in a warm room. Select
for planting only the ears whose sam
pie kernels have shown strong germi-
mating power. If one kernel in four
fails to germinate, or If the germtna-
ton is slow and weak, reject the ear.
The task of testing is not nearly SO
great as these directions may indicate,
and in this way one may know that all
the seed is capable of making a strong
growth Of plants.
1t Pays Every Year.
It pays every year, but this year it
will be unusually profitable. Much
corn will not grow at all. and very
much will germinate only under most
favorable conditions, and some cold,
wet weather after planting will rot it.
Make sure of the rejection of all seed
that is not full of vitality, and this
method Of testing will enable any one
to do so.

Applied Externally.

While staying in the north Of
England a commercial traveller con-
tracted a severe cold, which obliged
him to remain in bed. His land
lady, a sympathetic widow, was most
attentive and made the sufferer
some special onion porridge, which
she placed beside him, remarking,
"There; that will shift your cold!"
Later in the evening the good lady
came to inquire how the patient
was progressing. $50 you've eaten
it," she said, picking up the empty
porridge dish.
"Eaten a poultice!" exclaimed
the invalid. "Pve-Ive got it on

eAsLleHT EFFECTS.
One Of the Woes of the Modern Apart
nent House Owner.

teThere is no end to the troubles
of the modern landlord" said the
man with pronounced wrinkles.
sWhat with the gas company and
prospective tenants, his days and
nights are filled with woe. l believe
those two forces of evil-the gas
company and the possible tenants
are leagued against me. Anyhow,
the situation is peculiar. One day
a woman came to look at one Of my
most expensive apartments.
""The rooms seem very nice by
daylight she said, but 1 couldn't
think of taking the place until I
find out how it looks at night. Pll
come back this evening and see the
decorations by gaslight.'
"'But the gas isn't turned on l
explained. I'll bring in a few
lamps. Won't that do just as well p
"'Not at ALL said my possible
tenant. There is no comparison be-
tween the two kinds of light. I en-
tertain a great deal, and couldn't
possibly sign lease for place that
doesn't look well when illuminated.
Couldn't you get the gas turned on
before night?'
"I explained that it was an un-
heard of thing to keep the gas me-
ter at work in an unoccupied fiat,
but rather than lose such good
tenant as that woman promised to
be l moved heaven and earth and
the gas company and got the illu-
minating power turned on. Since
then I have learned that most peo-
pie who rent expensive apartments
insist upon seeing the rooms by
night as well as by day before they
will sign a lease. Consequently l
have to keep the gas going in all my
vacant flats. Such fastidiousness on
the part of my tenants plays right
into the hands of the gas company.
No wonder I suspect that they may
be working a partnership game. p

Sheep Breedinq.

There is great need of breed Of
sheep suitable to the range conditions
of the west, the requirements being for
sheep that will yield a profitable clip
of wool, produce good mutton lambs
and stand focking in large numbers,
says Secretary Wilson's annual report.
1t is believed possible to Sombine these
characteristics in one breed, and with
this idea in mind an experiment was
begun in the fall os 1906 in co-opera-
ton with the Wyoming experiment sta
ton. Eighty-nine ewes and four rams
have been purchased for foundation

A Perverted Inscription.

Sharp, marking the spot where he
was slain-a saevis inimicis. Some

jected to the inscription and chip

ing the inimicis "salvis," which, in
view of the failure to bring them to
justice, is nat far from the truth.

original inscription implied, bears a
very different meaning from the
perverted reading, which may be

Sowing Spring Oats.

AS a rule we much prefer to sow
oats in the fall, but owing to the con-
tinued rains very few farmers succeed
ed in planting a sufficient area, and
many have failed to SOW any. Now oats
are one of the most profitable crops
we can grow, especially when follow
ed by peas sown for hay. Owing to
the depressed times. the high value Of
foodstuff and the proba bility of cheap
sr cotton next fall it behooves the
farmers to SOW a large area in spring
oats. Put them in as early as possi-

AS far as we know, this COW has
made a clean sweep of all records from
the one day to the year.
Whenever a COW makes such phe
nomenal record, the question immedi-
ately presents itself, Were her female
ancestors capable cows?
Take Johanna Rue IL, the dam Of
her sire, and we find her a very capa
BILE COW, with yearly record of 1920
pounds of milk, containing 662 pounds
of fat. She has a deep body, showing
a strong and well developed digestive
tract; we'll developed udder, high arch
ing flank and the rise in the pelvic
arch.
The dam of her dam, Colantha, was
an imported COW and a splendid dairy
type.
The dam of Colantha Tvs Johan-
ma, Colantha ~, is another remarka-
BILE COW and with yearly record as
four year-old of 1851 pounds Of milk,
containing SIT pounds of fat. She has
the deep body and high arching flank,
but not as pronounced as Johanna Rue
II. or Colantha Tvs Johanna.
These COWS do not represent the at
tenuated dairy form, but carry little
more flesh than tho extreme dairy
type. They are classed by the Hol-
stein people as of the milk and beef
form" This term is a bit misleading,
as it does not mean that they perform
two functions, but rather they carry
a little more flesh than the extreme
dairy type.-Hoard's Dairyman.
