Women Grow Taller Now.

The contention of writer in Health
and Strength that with woman's pro.
gress toward equal rights her physical
strength is also asserting itself, has
caused much controversy in European
journals. "The average height of Eng.
lands girls" says a writer in Figaro,
was five feet three inches in 1895,
and today it is five feet five inches.
This would be pleasant news to me if
it were not also fact that the sterner
sex is growing shorter" Marcel Pre-.
vost, discussing the subject, believes
that sports have made the women tall
er, and says: "Be on your guard,
modern man. Your position was never
in greater danger than now. Check
the 'retrogression or stop the advance
of women while yet you are the larger
and stronger. Another inch and you
will have become the weaker SEX"

Vitality in Milk.

considerable discussion is going the
rounds of the New England agricul.
tural papers concerning the question
OF vitality in milk. The substance OF
the controversy is whether COW puts
vitality into her milk according to the
vitality which she herself possesses.
The Connecticut experiment station
seems to be the first to use the term
vitality in regard to milk The Hol-
stein breeders take this to be an argu-
ment to prove that the black and
whites are the COWS to furnish milk
for the babies and invalids. Some of
the theories advanced to prove this
conclusion are that a diseased COW
will put disease germs in her milk.
A healthy COW will produce perfect,
normal milk. A weak COW will hardly
produce normal milk. Her milk will
lack one or another element because
her system is not in condition to ex-
tract from her food and drink all
the complex and delicate elements that
go to make up normal or perfect milk.
Some cows are able to bear and to
rear vigorous calves. and some are so
weak or so defective that most of their
calves are born dead. die soon after

Notes..

Bell every seventh sheep against
dogs.
Poor dogs are a curse to the sheep
grower.
No other kind of feed is better for
ewes than clover.
Do your best to have the dog laws
made more stringent.
For an all-round grain feed oats
takes the blue ribon.
Gust the old wethers. They are a
nuisance to the rest of the sheep fam
lily.
Every day count the sheep and know
that they are all in the flock. If any
are missing, hunt them up.
During cold weather it will be well
to give the COW tempered water to
drink. 1t will have its effect upon the
milk supply.
Now and then a ration of wheat
bran is good to keep the bowels regu-
lar. Sheep are apt to get constipated
in cold weather. Give as much laxa.
tive food as you can.
The care you give your sheep tells
the story Of the lambs you will get
later. Neglect and poor feeding
bring their harvest in scrawny, poor
lambs. You don't want any such.
Doctoring sheep that are sick is
risky business. Keep them dry and
warm and give them their own way
about eating. This will usually bring
them out all right unless they have
some disease.
Every day let the sheep have good
walk. One way to do 1t is to feed
them at barn some distance from
the place they regularly stay in. Or
1t may be to get water Somehow let
them stretch their legs. It Is the
price Of health.

Bone Cutter Needed.

There is really only one reason why
every farmer poultryman should not
nave bone cutter. That Is, inability
to secure a regular supply of fresh
bones. But there are mighty few cas-.
es where this cannot be satisfactorily
arranged, and at little or no expense.
Often the farmer does his own butch
ering and has access in this way to
large quantities of good fresh bones.
Otherwise, the bones can be secured

After filling a lamp, be careful to

an excellent and inconspicuous mark
of ownership.

Be careful when lighting a fire in
the kitchen that there is plenty of
water in the boiler. Otherwise, when
the cold water rushes into the hot boil
er it is likely to crack it.
Don't put clothes round the fire to
dry and then go to bed and leave
them. A spark might easily fly out of
the fire and set them alight. New
er leave wood fire unguarded.
Don't try to make a fire draw by
holding newspaper in front of it. If

or to your own clothes, it may fly up
the chimney and result in a fire.
A tiny sewing outfit to fit in the

Never fill an oil lamp while it is
alight. 1t is quite easy for the vapor
to catch fire and set the spirit or oil
ablaze, and an explosion will most like
ly follow. Always turn the lamp out
before refilling it.
Don't allow the oil to stand in the
lamp very long. If it is not burned it
should be thrown away. 1t gathers i'm
purities and increases the risk of an
explosion. For the same reason Away

Cape Worms-Millet as Feed.

Mrs. A. n. g., gives her description
of removing cape worms from n
chicks throat. OF course 1t Is not
cape worm, but cape worms, though
there be but one full body IN the
throat. Just one pair will seldom hurt
Il chick. IT will not suck enough
blood to kill the chick, or fiji enough
space to chclc IT, But there lies the
the trouble, more than one hunts
the throat. like three doubled and
well tristed horsehairs best | keep
these all through one season in tur-
pentlne bottle. one must be careful
as even so little as a drop of turpen-
tine in the wlndplpe will often kill the
chick. Horse hairs are not so harsh
as blue grass, and yet blue grass Is
quite effective.
Where does the cape worm come
from, and how does 1t get in the
chicks windppe? 1t either crawls
there or Is hatched there. The cape
worm comes from the ground as 9TH
er worms. OF course like all other
specialized life it has come from sim
pier forms. 1t has evolved from n
lower form, in which the reproduc-
tive organs of both sexes are in one
body. But now, If you examine one
taken from the chicks throat, you
will find the worm has two heads, and
the smaller head has a short body
which Is the male growing from the
side of the female. Both sucker
mouths fasten in the shape of the let
Ter on the windpipe; the bodies ad-
here, and so do the eggs. The chick
picks up worms or eggs, and the crop
retains them at least In part. If large
enough, when picked from dirty water
or the ground, or let loose from the
bodies of fishing worms, they crawl
straight into the windpipe. This has
been proved, and also that they can
hatch in the crop-and | think, from
microscopic examination, in the folds
of the windpipe also. Look at one
through a small microscope or read
ing glass. They mature in eight days,
when the combined bodies break apart
and let out the eggs, when, of course,
the parents die. Old fowls have them
in plenty, so do crows, hawks, pigeons
and wild birds. | saw two robins dy-
