A dog should not be fed on meat
alone under any consideration. Be
sides making him a nuisance it makes
him naturally carnivorous and often
savage, If he is always fed at the
conclusion Of a certain meal--dinner
for instance-he will wait patiently
until the prescribed time. 1t is a
good plan to feed after ones midday
meal, giving plenty of green vegeta-
bles, bread and potatoes, with very
few scraps of finely cut meat, the
whole well mixed and some gravy
poured over 1t. If two meals are Civ
en-, one should be at breakfast time
and one in the evening. One should
consist of only a little oatmeal and
milk or a piece of dry dog biscuit At
no time should the dog have nore
than he win eat, and if he leaves any
thing his allowance should be reduced
or a meal omitted Journal of Agri-

NO MEDICINE,

But Change of Food Gave Relief.
Many persons are learning that
drugs are not the thing to rebuild
worn-out nerves, but proper food is
required.
There is a certain element in the
cereals, wheat, barley, etc, which is
grown there by nature for food to

phosphate of potash, Of which Grape
Nuts food contains a large proportion.
In making this food all the food Gle

In what kind of a shell are your
farm machinery and tools? asks the
Chicago Weekly Inter Ocean. Many
farmers have a big machine shed with
the sky for roof. This is a roomy
house, but it has the disadvantage of
being leaky when it rains, and water
Is not the best thing for wood and
iron.
So many complain that net profits
Of farming are small. No wonder,
when they are compelled to purchase a
new binder or cultivator nearly every
summer. These machines ought to and
will last for many ears If properly
cared for.
Now is the time, If 1T has not al
ready been done, to get all tools and
implements carefully stored away in
dry buildings. On rainy days or at
odd times all the wood and iron work
should be coated with oil or axle
grease to prevent rust and decay This
will not only make them last longer,
but will keep them bright and sound
for immediate and satisfactory use
when they are taken out next spring.
Rusty wheels and bearings will not
run smooth, and the rusty pillow is
ve1ation when the new season opens
for rush work. A cents worth Of oil
and minutes work now will save an
hours work Of securing and swearing
next spring.
Men who get rich and have money
to lend make it a point to prolong the
life of their farm implements by shell
tering them and keeping them well
oiled and painted. Why not you?

After numerous experiments the
chemists Of the Bureaus of Forestry

can be made from cornstalks by very

chinery is built and the farmers real
lie that a good revenue may be derived

The great loss each year from over
crowding runs up into thousands Of
dollars. This can easily be remedied
by spending a few cents each for a
number of piano boxes. Two gunny
sack partitions may be put in these
boxes, and each one will accommodate
several hundred small chickens. Fifty
small chicks is the largest number
that can safely be housed together.
Most overcrowding is found in brood
ers. and the most common mistake
made is not to consider the rapidity
With which chick develops and hence
the necessity Of more spacious quar-
tiers. The secret is to separate the
chicks into small lots and never to let
them pile up. Oyercrowding results in
lack Of exercise. food and drink,
which means bowel trouble and other
diseases. Lack of pure air weakens

TRANSPLANT A BIG OAK.
Great Tree Is Moved 200 Feet and
Thrives in New Position.

An interesting illustration of trans
planting a large tree was given recently
ut the grounds of the Crocker-Wheeer
company's factory, at Ampere, n. j.,
near East Orange. An oak tree 60
feet in height, whose roots occupied
space in the earth about one aud q half
feet in diameter, was lifted several feet
in the air by means of a huge locomo-
tive crane, carried more than POO feet
and safely deposited in its new abiding
place in front of the new Ampere post
office building.
The work, however, is always a din
cult one and requires the utmost care in
order to preserve the life Of tree. The
removal of this big oak at Ampere was
the most ambitious experiment in tree
transplanting undertaken, says the Phil
adelphia Public Ledger.
In excavating to loosen the roots il
was found that the ground had been
flied in to "A depth of four feet since the
tree was originally planted, and it was
necessary TO go down seven feet to get
at the roots. Many of them shot out in
various directions beyond the main body
of roots, necessitating tunneling to free
these offshoots so that they might be
taken up with the tree. 1t was esti-
mated that the weight of the tree, with
the mass of dirt adhering to the roots,
would be almost Is tons, and the loco
motive crane that did the job had lift
ing power Of 20 tons
After the proper attachments were
made the tree was rocked backward and
forward number of times to loosen the
roots completely, and then DR. Wheeler
gave the signal TO lift. Up rose the 60
foot oak in the air, a great quantity of
earth clinging to the roots. Carrying the
tree, the crane was run down the track
more than POO feet. where il was safely
deposited in a large hole dug for it's flu
ture home. The roots were carefully
arranged, workmen filled in the cavity
with earth, and Ampere's transplanted
been visited by number Of persons.

has never shown an ear-if left until
NATURES the same as another similar
stalk supporting the ear. This is not
an argument TO go back to some varie-
ty OF corn; It is only this the ear is
not essential if full development and
maturity OF the plant are secured be-
fore soliing. The fact was also found
that the expense" Of digestion was
much less to the animal where the
food solids were in the structure of the
plant than when in the grain, though
the latter was assisted" by the condi-
ton of the succulence as contrasted
with grain dried. The discovery opens
up new lines of culture. Shall we plant
thicker to get more fodder; cultivate
little deeper to arrest too rapid growth
and assist in promoting earlier and per
feet maturity, which includes, of course,
the maximum amount of nutrition?

BAR TO AEROPLANE FLEET.
British Physicist Says Talk Of Use Of
Flying Machines Is Untounded.

Londop.-Lord Rayleigh made some
interesting remarks with reference to
aeroplanes and flying machines at the
Royal society.
This great physicist admits that in
the technical sense the problem of fly
ing through the air has been solved,
but he evidently does not think that
the invention will be of much prac-
teal use. He does not share the en-
thusiasm of the German emperor in
anticipating that fleets of aeroplanes
will soon be flying through the air.
There is a large gulf to bridge, &C
cording to Lord Rayleigh, before flying
machines can be made available for
purposes Of real utility. He does not
entertain the idea that communica-
lions between different countries will
be carried on by air-going ships. He
thinks that they may be used for pur-
poses of accommodating and exploring,
but, in the latter case, no exploration
on a large scale could be carried out,
owing to the difficulty of carrying pro-
visions.
An aeroplane of enormous size is
only able to carry two or three men,
and would be, therefore, unable to
take large quantity of provisions for
feeding them.
