Replace It's Organs.
Among the curious animals which in
habit the sea we may take the holo-
tburia. or sea cucumber, so called from
ifs resemblance to the cucumber.
When this animal is attacked by an
enemy ii does not stand up and fight.
Int by sudden movement 1t elects its
teeth. stomach. digestive apparatus
and nearly all its intestines and then
shrivels its body up to almost nothing.
When. however. the danger is past
tbe animal commences to replace the
organs which it has voluntarily parted
with, and in short time the animal
is as perfect as ever 1t was.
DR.. tombstone kept one in water for
long time. and one day he forgot to
change the water. The creature in
consequence elected it's intestines and
shrveled up. but when the water was
changed all its organs were repro
duced. Although the animal is not

GOOD POINTS OF
ABERDEEN-ANCUS.

A well known breeder and feeder
of Johnson county, ILL.,, says ever since
he has been farming he has raised
cattle and fed steers, but in 1906 ne
began raising and feeding the Aber-
deen-Angus. He prefers this breed
because of their great showing In the
actual test of fattening and also be-
cause they have no horns, writes
correspondent Of Country Gentleman.
At present he has $50, but as yet his
herd is not in shape as he says he Is
lust learning and finds that 1t takes
some years to accomplish just llttle.
The head of his herd chat is, MS

the stable and tied out in the sun on
fine days; otherwise during the day he
is tied in long stable to ring In
wire. allowing him the run OF the
stable, also access to water at all
times. AS soon as the calves come TO
breeding age he disposes of the males
to prevent inbreeding.
His calves are allowed to run with
the cows until they are six months old,
at which time they are weaned ut

the cows after the calves are weaned.

but If little is taken at irregular in

when the calves are weaned. He Is
making that a point of labor saving,
letting the calves suck until six
months old. and having the cows low
in milk at that time and never milk

There are several points which every
COW owner would do well to consider
II he is to get the best milk yield and
reap the greatest profits from his herd.
In the first place. a cheap ration must
be provided. one that can be raised
on the farm; second. 1t must be well

AS a rule, the greater portion Of the
feed can be raised at home. which al
