Complete Recovery from Coffee Ills.
"About nine years ago my daughter.
from coffee drinking, was on the verge
OF nervous prostration,' writes Louis
vile lady. "She was confined for the
most part to her home.
when she attempted a trip down
town she was often brought home in a
cab and would be Frustrated for days
afterwards.
ION the advice Of her physician she
gave up coffee and tea, drank Postum,
and ate Grape-Nuts for breakfast.
''She liked Postum from the very be-
ginning and we soon saw improvement.
To-day she is in perfect health, the
mother of five children, all of whom are
fond of Postum.
"She has recovered, is a member Of
three charity organizations and a club,
holding an Office in each. We give
Postum and Grape-Nuts the credit for
her recovery"

Uses of Corn.

The Crop Reporter is endeavoring to
tell for what purposes corn is used. In
the year 1899, SO this authority states,
the total crop was 2,666,0OO,00O bushels.
OF this crop 100000 bushels were
consumed in the flour and grist mills ;
100000 in manufacture of starch, D.
100000 for malt liquors, 100000 i'll
distilling of liquors, 100000 for glu-
cose, 100000 for export, and 49,
100000 for seed. This accounts for
only 1913 per cent of the entire crop,
most of the remainder being used for
feeding purposes. The more one studies
the corn crop, the more interesting it
becomes. It's magnitude as a food
giver and laboremployer grows with
every observation one makes of the
corn crop.-Springfield Register.

Make the Dairy Pay.

There are 21,194,00O mich cows in
the United States-an average of one
ccw to four of the population. The
fact that there has been an increase
per capita of the consumption of milk
and a decrease of cows per capita OF
the population indicates that there has
been an improvement in the quality OF
the dairy COWS of the country.
In the decade of 1890 to 1900 the
average production of every dairy COW
showed an increase of 1000 pounds of
milk, or a commercial gain of $211,-
100000. Yet with this improvement adj
mitted, there are many dairies that are
being operated at loss. The life of a
dairy cow is estimated at seven years
and her annual depreciation represents
one-seventh of her full value, which is
taken into consideration in computing
the profits of the herd. If the dairy
man would ascertain if his herd is pay
ing a profit he needs to charge for the
help to operate it, the cost Of the
feed the interest on the investment and
the normal depreciation OF the value
Of the COWS. All these items enter into
fixed operating charges and need to be
deducted from the gross receipts of the
dairy before profits can be computed.
The receipts of the dairy should not
only pay the operating expenses and
fixed charges, but also leave liberal
balance for profit.

Time for Oats Land.

An application Of 1000 pounds Of
lime per acre was practically as eff
cien+ in case of oats as an application
of 1000 pounds in tests made at the
New Jersey station. In the case of
clover the larger application gave the
better results. Lime in the form Of
carbonate produced more dry matter
than nitrogen and ash burned lime.
The results OF the studies of nitrogen
fixation were quite irregular, but agree
in general in indicating that the addi-
ton of fertilizer materials increased
nitrogen fixation and that carbonate of
lime favored nitrogen fixation to a
greater extent than burned lime

Cats of New Colors.

Many triumphs in original color We're
seen at the great champion show OF cats
at the Crystal palace.
With the modern cat beauty is to a
large extent skin deep-that is to say,
coat and color reckon high, and high
value is set on certain combinations of
color which have only recently been
achieved in their full measure. The most
artistic of all modern cats is the blue
Russian, of which Lady Decies has the
pick and won most of the prizes. Her
best exhibits are of a level light blue
tint, absolutely unfiecked by any other
shade, and they possess that second de-
sideratum-a copper colored eye, which,
to the regret of all cat breeders, is apt
a fade into the common green with age.
In the case of the white smooth haired
cat the eye should be blue, and such an
enimal as the unbeaten Fulmer Snow
storm is revelation in the breeders
power to get the pure colors he seeks.
Again, the silver tabbies, whose virtue
depends on the blackness of the lines
and the clearness of the marking be-
tween them, are preferred either with
golden or green eyes. But to judge by
two of the best-Miss Cope's Roiall
Dame and Mrs. Slingsby's Don Pasquale
of Thorpe-the gold is preferred.
So, in the self-color Oranges a very
popular shade in rough haired cats, the
eye matches the coat very closely. But
to the public, who do not deal in special
color, the smooth haired Russian blues
with the copper eyes are the most re-
narkable example of modern color
schemes and the highly artistic cat.
Some of these are worth ESQ, though
the best are descended from a recent

SEA GULLS DEFENDED.
Massachusetts Expert Denies They Are
Destroying Fish and Birds Eggs.

The accusation made against sea gulls
by fishermen of Scotland that they are
destroying fish and eggs of birds and
are increasing too fast under statutory
protection is denied by Prof. E. ii. For
bush, ornithologist for the state board OF
agriculture of Massachusetts,, who has
made a special study of the bird TINS
wear and has not found one herring
oull or black headed gull attacking the
eggs of other birds.
Large numbers of dead fish were
washed up on the Massachusetts beach
es this summer owing to the unusual
number of whales, which drove the small
fish so near land that they were caught
by the breakers and tossed ashore. Town
scavenger departments found it difficult
10 keep the beaches clear and they would
have become offensive if it had not been
for the gulls which swooped down and
greedily ate the dead fish. This is put
to the credit of the gulls.
The live fish which the gulls eat, Prof.
FOrbush Declares are not of the valu-
able kind. but small species like the
sand eel. mummychog and minnow.
Prof Forbush also points out that the
charge that gulls kill young ducks must
not be brought against the gull family
as whole but only few individuals
AS there are black sheep in the human
family so there are bad disposltloned
gulls which may kill young ducks, put
on observer once noted that out OF
hundred or more gulls only two were
guilty of such killing.
The value of gullS to the mariner,
Prof Forbush says, is well known. In
thick summer weather the appearance
of gulls in numbers or the sound OF
their clamorous voices gives warning
to the sailors that he is nearing the rocks
on which they breed. Shore fishermen
enshrouded in fog can tell the direction
of the islands ON which the birds live
| by watching their undertaking Hight
homeward with food for their young.
The keen senses of sea birds enable
| them to head directly for their nests
even in dense mist. Fishermen also dis
cover schools of fish by watching the
sea birds.
As to the statement that the protec-
ton of the gulls is causing them to in
crease too fast, Prof. Forbush says that
there is no chance for an abnormal in
crease in this country because OF the
lack of properly protected breeding
places. The smallest of the family,
| the the least tern, is in fact in danger OF
| determination.
| Another service which the gulls and
| other sea birds render is fertilizing, soil
building and seed sowing on barren is
| lands.

MiIIet for Late Crops.

AIillet as a late crop to plant in case
of the failure of the corn crop or fail
ure to get corn planted at all, is rec
commended by the Ohio station. The
earlier sorts can be seeded through
July, and make fair fields. Hay is the
most common use made of the crop,
and for this it compares favorably with
timothy, both in composition and di-
gestibility. 1t is good feed for cattle,
horses and sheep, but when overripe
should not be fed to horses exclusively,
as it affects the kidneys. Millet is also
grown for pasture seed, and even for
silage. AS a soil cleaner, it is also al
most equal to a summer fallow.

Farm Wells.

Unsanitary dairy wells are menace
to health, and as the country becomes
more closely settled more and more
care is necessary to provide good water.
The director of the Chicago hygienic
laboratory reports that Of 1913 wells on
nearby dairy farms, examined by the
inspectors, only eleven were found to
be safe for domestic purposes. In all
cases the safe wells were those lined
with cement, with cement covers, with
a protecting fiange of cement several
feet out from the well. In some of the
wells used for washing milk utensils,
high percentage of colon bacteria
were found, and i'll some cases manure
could be detected microscopically and

Arnnnd the Dairy.


There must be no guesswork about
feeding the calf. The stomach of the
young calf is easily ruined by slipshod
methods of feeding. Think Of this when
tempted to feed it milk that is too hot
or too cold in a bucket that is not as
clean and sweet as it should be.
Milk that sticks to the sides of the
pail and becomes sour is a bad propo-
sition, as it may cause an attack of
the scours. This trouble means break
in the calfs growth, perhaps stunted
calf, and in the end an animal of little
value.
Do not oblige the cows to bunk about
the straw pile until the chilly nights
are past. Dry spots for them to sleep
on are usually very scarce at that sea-
son Of the year.
Don't turn the cattle to pasture too
early. A good plan to follow is to wait
until you conclude the grass is suff1-
GENTLY large to turn them on, then
wait a week or ten days longer.

cheese as does the province in Bel

warm place in a can of whole milk. In
about forty minutes the curdling mess
is pounded and then the whey pressed

further drainage permitted. Salt is
