HELPED the Cabman.

A very old man once called to see

he was the cabman who drove him to
his ship when he set sail for Canada
long years before.
Lord Strathcona was interested in
this Renaissance of his youth and lis
tened to the ancient jehu when he
went on in a fearful voice to complain
that death had Just deprived him OF
one of two grandsons and that he
himself had fallen on evil times.
Lord Strathcona soothed the old fell
lows sorrows with little money.
Again, after a time, the old man
called or Lord Strathcona and this
time told him that both his grandsons
we're down with typhoid fever and, as
Lord Strathcona had helped him be-
fore, perhaps he would again. After
some gossiping chat about Scotland
Lord Strathcona again comforted the
old man with a little money.
When he had gone an official who
had overheard the conversation said:
ct hope you did not give that man
any money. Lord Strathcona. When
he saw you before one of his two
grandsons was dead. Now he says
both are i'll with typhoid fever"

EGGS as PoIsoNs.

some Persons Always Affected and
Others Only Occasionally.
Instances of egg poisoning appear
from time to time in periodical liter
ature and the subject is referred to in
some. but by no means all, works on
dietetics
While cases of acute poisoning are
rare, writes physician in the Medical
Record, some susceptibility as regards
eggs is not so very uncommon. Peo-
pie constantly assert that eggs make
them bilious and, while in some this
is often imaginary. in others the con-
dition actually exists.
This is notably true of infants and
young children Not only do many in
fants and young children digest eggs
with difficulty, especially when first
eaten, but many more are made i'll If
this particular food is partaken of too
freely or, in the case Of older children,
If the egg diet is kept up too continu
ously.
The inability of young children to
digest eggs is probably in line with
the well-recognized fact that the in
fant's stomach or digestive juices must
be taught to digest most dietary arti-
cles other than the maternal milk.
Cows milk, for instance, Is verita-
BILE poison to some infants, while many
a newly born requires some practice
and education before it can thoroughly
digest even mothers milk.
Individual susceptibility as regards
eggs is extremely variable; In some
persons eggs always act as poisons,
while in others the toxic influence
may be marked at one time and at an
other much diminished or entirely
wanting, especially when the subject
Is in sound condition.
The susceptibility may be observed
in eggs of every degree Of freshness.
and in some cases only with the eggs
of certain birds. Changes in eggs may
also be brought about by methods of
cooking; for while some persons mani
fest their susceptibility only when the
egg is raw, others are poisoned when

sual and unaccustomed manner
In most of the reported cases the
white of the egg appears to have been
the offending element. The symptoms
of egg poisoning differ greatly in de-
gree; in some cases only nausea and
headache occur; in others the most vi
olent symptoms, suggestive of irritant
poisoning, are observed.
Sometimes, when the use of eggs Is
long continued, they give rise to the
symptom group which we call bilious
ness, which after all Is but a form of
auto-intoxication, due possibly to the
| presence of some alkaloid in the blood
The symptoms of egg poisoning are es-
sentially those of so-called ptomaine
| poisoning.
| 1t is true that the eggs giving rise
toxic phenomena are in most instances
apparently fresh when eaten, but when
we recall that the porous shell of the
egg will admit the heterogeneous
that cause the egg to rot, as well as
various strong odors, it Is easy to COM
prehend that an egg may appear fresh
and yet contain bacteria that in sus-
ceptible persons, and in certain con
ditions of digestion, may produce
changes which may cause toxic symp-
toms.

snrn,ing Apple Trees.

While there are some growers who
spray their trees once before the buds
open in the spring, there are more
who apply the spray mixture first as
the petals of the blossoms are falling,
and if but one application is to be
made this is decidedly the best time
to make IT. The earlier spraying is
for fungous diseases. while the one
made Just as the blossoms are falling
is for both fungous diseases and in
sects. The BLOSSOMS having fallen, the
calyx of the young apple is in just the
right condition to receive an applica-
ton of poison to be ready for the
young Iarya of the cooling moth when
they appear. This dose Of poison must
be placed in the calyx of the apple
before the calyx closes, which occurs
within a week or ten days after the
blossoms fall.
Growers who wish to spray their
trees thoroughly make about four APP
-lications-the first as the leaf buds
are unfolding: the second just as the
petals of the blossoms are falling, the
third within ten days and the fourth
one ten days to two weeks later.
There is a growing sentiment in favor
of still another application later in
the season TO catch the later brood

Halter Breaking.

A very troublesome habit is that OF
halter-breaking Once a horse finds
it can break the halter it is ever.
lasting at the job To cure the habit
is not nearly so easy as to prevent
the horse from learning it. Horses
their halters when fastened in the
stall have often been cured in the fol-
lowing way: Two straps are lightly
attached to rope which passes
through ring fastened in the end Of
the halter-strap. The halter strap
passes through a ring in the stall. IL
a horse endeavors to go backwards
the greater is the tendency TO draw
the forelegs from under the animal.
A few attempts will cure even the
worst halter-puller. Another simple
and effective method is worked out by
the use of a long rope. One end of
the rope is first attached to the man
ger and is then threaded through the
lower ring in the halter, back between
the front legs then over the back and
down under the belly, between the
front legs again and up through the
ring to the other end and then tied
TO the halter The halter-breaker Will
soon find a surprise in store when it
leans back against the rope as the pull
comes on its own back instead Of on
the rope-Denver Field and Farm.

Annetta liked her clothes, because she
really took a good deal of pains to
have them nice. They were. she point
ed out, always very simple; but she
tried to choose pretty colors, and above
all things, to keep them neat Nobody
could help sometimes tearing holes or
getting spots; but everybody should
clean the spots and darn the holes as
soon as possible. Indeed, lady, or q
ladylike little girl. would feel very I'M

times see place that you could mend,
but hadn't noticed would you like me
to tell you If do? l am sure If there
was anything wrong with my clothes
that l could put right, I should wish
to be told"
The lure of the dainty work-bag and
the artful suggestion of reciprocity
worked admirably toward an increase
of tidiness for some days. Then came
visit from group of distinguished
educators. More chalk was needed In
the course of a blackboard exercise,
and teacher reached up for it to a
high shelf. AS she turned, several
hands shot up, but she ignored them
to finish the task in hand Presently
she raised her arm high in using the
pointer. More hands waved excitedly.
A moment later she did so again. An

Intensive Dairy Farming

The question is often asked how
many cows a certain number of acres
will support. BY the question Is
meant that the entire energy of the
farm is to be devoted to raising food
for the dairy COW. A farm in a good
state of fertility can be easily ar
ranged so that one could keep a cow
to every two acres of land if the land
is all good rich, tillable land. And one
would be able to raise both the for
age or bulky part of the ration. and
the grain ration, too. 1t could be
done in few years time with the
proper handling of the herd on the
farm.
Three crops upon the farm will do
it-first corn; second. clover hay,
and, third, peas and oats, OF course,
the clover sod would be plowed down
for corn and then the corn ground be
put into peas and oats the following
season. With these three foods one
can make a balanced ration for the
dairy COW without purchasing any
other outside food, either concentrated
or bulky.
The statement has often been made
that an acre of good land will support
COW the year round. One dairyman
made the remark that he could keep
two COWS on an acre, but practically
the man who keeps one COW on two
acres is doing very good business IL
he gets fair prices for the product. 1t
is fact that the demand for milk,
butter and cheese is increasing faster
than cows, and that prices are con-
tinually advancing. There is no bet
ter business than dairying. Agricul-
tural Epitomist.

th4n wheat. With flock we'll taken
care of otherwise wheat can be fed
with a profit. This grain at 80 cents
a bushel is ~ cents a pound, and
with good methods pound of wheat
ought to produce at least two eggs,
which at average market prices would
be more than double the cost of the
wheat. Profits in egg production do
not depend so much upon the cost of
feeds. but upon the amount of eggs
given feed will produce under nor
NAL conditions.
Wheat is proportionately rich in
protein and mineral matter for the
formation of eggs, and is also COM
posed of a fair proportion of starch
for producing heat and energy. Wheat
fed to hens should be scattered in
deep litter of straw so that they must
exercise in securing it and not eat 1t
too fast.
Dry grain feed for fowls is to be
commended instead of soft feeds for
the simple reason that the birds have
very strong grinding organs for re-
ducing hard feeds. The function OF
the gizzard is fer hard grinding. and
it seems that the harder the foods are
the more active the organs become and
the healthier and more productive the
fowl is.

things had quieted little, he came
out and remarked that in stretching
