BerIin-s Drink Percentage.

A German physician, Dr.. Hirsch-
field. has been computing the qpanti-
ty OF alcoholic drink consumed in
Berlin Berlin possessed three years
ago 1882 drinking shops-one for
6l0 inhabitants-in addition to 301
wnere wine only is sold. During the
period the Berliners consumed 43S,.
9S9,532 liters of beer, 24,704,525
liters of brandy, and 19, 9,956,062 hters
of wine. This amounts to an average
annual consumption per head OF pop
ulation of 236A liters of alcoholic
drink, at cost of 100 marks-a
mark being one shilling. AS the av-
erage income of the Berliners, in
Guiding women and children, is about
683 marks, 1t may be said that the
Berliner spends seventh part of his
income in intoxicating drinks.-Lon-

The Song Of the New Klnodon--Isa-
o5. 9; Luke 2. 1a--.(chrlstmas.)

This Is the time of the year when
all Christendom rejoices under the
charm of music. 1t IS the time when
hearts are filed with laughter and
voices are blend, i in songs of praise
to the "Giver CT every good gift"
While Christmas bells are ringing
out their melodies, organs sounding
forth their sweet music, and the graf
itude Of the heart Of humanity springs
from the lips of song commemorative
of the birth Of the Babe of Bethlehem,
we hear running through 1t all the
strains of that heaven-old anthem
which was given to earth by the
angels about two thousands years
ago.
Through the "retch Of unknown
centuries the Lets OF heaven had
sung GLORY to d in the highest"
During the proc sion of creation the
Gloria Excelsi- had rolled across
the universe. and on the day when all
things were made ready for the ad-
vent OF man the anthem was supple
mented by the shouts Of the sons of
God, and the vc Ices of the morning
stars as they s, ng their praises over
the works Of the Creator
The cadence Of this anthem of the
| heavenly host rose with the progress
| siye work of the One by whom all
things were made and reached the
| highest note In the scale of alteration
when the Babe of Bethlehem rested In
the arms of the virgin. The hour
prefigured in visions and foretold by
seers had come, and the richest har-
monies of heaven must burst forth
on the world. 1t was at this time
that new stanza was added. The
anthem was not completed till the
time of the coming of the Holy Child.
But when the star stood over the
manger at Bethlehem the. curtains OF
the skies were drawn aside and
heavens hosts blended their voices
in the revised anthem, which became
the first lullaby sung over the Babe
of Bethlehem, and there burst forth
from the Judean sky, GLORY to God
in the highest, on earth peace among
men of his good pleasure" With
the added stanza the anthem is no
longer reserved for the exclusive use
of the heavenly host, but has become
the anthem Of the kingdom of God
both in heaven and on earth. What
q beautiful and comprehensive anthem
It isl In it the heavenly hosts gave
expression to their. highest alteration
to God and proclaimed peace to man
kind

Cutting the Feed.

Next to the silo as a means Of Sc
curing best results with the corn
plant comes shredding or putting
through an ordinary feed cutter dry.
Either is better than feeding whole
stalks, which means so much waste.
Something of a concentrated nature
must be fed with any kind of rough
age TO secure a profitable milk flow in
winter. After experimenting with
nearly every known food of this ma
ture I have found this to be one of
the best: Wheat bran, two parts, by
measure; corn and cob meal, one
part; gluten meal, one part. Mix and
give four or five quarts twice a day
to each COW giving full flow of milk;
less to those partially dry, says a sue.

Feeding SiiIc6 Cows.

Mich cows require different feed
than beef cattle You should not feed
much fat forming foods, as your COWS
will lay on fat instead of producing
milk. Feed more silage or roots in
the winter.
Daily feed for a thousand pound
COW: Forty pounds of silage, seven
pounds clover hay, eight pounds of
grain. The COWS that are soon to
freshen should be fed on succulent
feed, such as silage or roots, bran, lin
seed meal with a little oats. Keep
the bowels open and do not feed very
heavy on grain just before or after
calYing.
After calving give bran mashes and
warm the drinking water for a few
days. Allow the calf to suck for
about two days and then feed the
mothers milk from q pail for about
two weeks, about three quarts twice
day after that reduce 1t with skim
milk or water so that at the end of the
fourth week the calf will be getting
all skim milk or half whole milk and
half warm water with some reliable
stock tonic to aid digestion. Keep a
supply of good clover or alfalfa hay
within reach and also some ground
oats, with a little linseod meal mixed
with it.
After the calf eats the ground feed
gradually get him used to eating
whole oats, as this is the best feet
for him up to six months old
The helfer should not be bret
until fifteen or eighteen months old

Time to Study I'd Fertilizer.

Winter is the time for attending to
the fertilizers Says a we'll informed
writer: 80 far as possible, manure
should be drawn out in winter as fast
as made. Where it is thrown in
heaps. as from horses stables, or
made in barn easements, Il will u.s.
ually be unfrozen while the ground
is covered with snow. II IS easier
both for team and pitcher to draw
manure on a sleigh than on a wagon,
so that winter is the best time for
doing this work, aside from thus
helping to get one heavy JOB out Of
the way as far as possible before
