SuccuIence and PaIatability.

We have often called attention to
the fact that silage had the important
elements of succulence and palatabil-
ity so essential in feeding dairy cows.
Referring to this matter Valancey E.
Fuller. the we'll known dairyman, In
a contribution to the Practical Dairy
man says:
The chemist cannot tell us why the
water that is contained in all these
~succuIent feeds play such an impor-
tant part in the we'll doing Of the cow.
He will tell US that pasture grass is
eighty per cent. water; that corn 81
lage has 1911 per cent; sugar beets,
S6.5 per cent; mangel beets, 9O.9
per cent; carrots, 8S.6 per cent; cab
bage and pumpkin over 80 per cent.
each. Yet this very water, as we find
it in the various succulents, plays a
very important part in the digestion
of other food taken in conjunction
with the s~ucculents. 1t seems to act
directly on the bowels and kidneys of
the COWS and maintains the cattle in
that healthy condition which IS es-
sential to the best production.
We know that apples contain sos
per cent. water, yet we know also how
beneficial that Juice as we call it, is
to us as a regulator Of the bowels,
and how, if we eat an apple or two
each day, it contributes to our good
health.
Corn silage is the cheapest of all
succulent, except pasture grass. Roofs
are expensive to grow. They cost
more per pound of digestible dry
matter, than corn silage. Although,
l had all the silage that I required to
feed my COWS in winter and in the dry
season of summer, I used to grow all
the roots I possibly could on my own
place and contracted for $4,000 BUSH
els a year, to feed the cows. My ex-
p~erience showed me that COWS would
do better when they had corn silage
if they we're fed roots, especially man.
gels and sugar beets, than they did
without them, and what the beets
cost me extra was more than saved in
the lessened grain fed each day.
If every dairyman would put up
enough corr silage in the fall to feed
his COW in the winter and carry over
enough to feed them in the dry spell
that comes in the late summer, his
bank account would be- materially ad-
ded to each year.-Farmer.

A LITTLE THING
Changes the Home Feeling.

Coffee blots out the sunshine from
many a home by making the mother,
or some other member of the house.
hold, d%yspeptic, nervous and irritable.
There are thousands of cases where
the proof is absolutely %undeniable.
Here is one.
A Wis. mother writes:
II was taught to drink coffee at
an early age, and also at an early age
became a victim to headaches, and as
I grew to womanhood these head
aches became a part of me, as / was
scarcely ever free from them.
About five years ago a friend
urged me to try Postum. l made the
trial and the result was so satisfac-
tory that we have used it eve since.
my husband and little daughter
we're subject to bilious attacks, but
they have both been entirely free
from them since we began using Pos
tum instead of coffee. l no longer
have headaches and my health is per-
feet"
If some Of these nervous, tired, If
ritable women would only leave off
coffee absolutely and try Postum they
would find a wonderful change in
their life. 1t would then be filled
with sunshine and happiness rather
than WEAKNESS and discomfort. And
think what an effect it would have on
the family, for the mood of the moth
er is largely responsible for the tenn
per of the children.

Poultry Notes.
Don't overcrowd.

DOu l ONCl
Don't allow the pullets to crowd in
a corner the first few nights they are
moved from winter roosts; teach
them what the roosts are for.
This is a good time to plan the
| next seasons business. Be regular
| in caring for and feeding the poultry;
| regularity counts for more than many
think.
Don't allow a scrap 20 be wasted;
fresh scraps of meat mean increased
number of eggs; the cracklings, when
we'll pressed, are good to feed hens,
in limited quantity.
Many families will make no use OF
| the livers at all; it would pay to Sc
| cure these and save to feed hens.
| Much better give to the poultry than
to leave for stray dogs and cats.
If there is a north or northwest
window in the poultry house, close
it up to-day as tight as possible.
| While at it close all the cracks; tai
papef is good for this if nailed close
ly.
If the weather is too warm for the
| cold storage plan, then the meat must
be cooked; one Of the kettles in
| which the lard was rendered will be
the handiest for a cooking vessel.
| Salt just enough to keep from sour
ing.
In freezing weather all that is nee.
essary is to put dressed poultry in
cold storage, out of the reach of cats
| and dogs; it will keep just as long as
| it remains frozen, of course it will be
necessary to thaw the mess before
feeding.
When selecting a new site for the
poultry yards, remember a southern
| slope is best, and a loose, rich soil.
| containing enough gravel or sand tc
allow of rains soon soaking in, is the
best. The southern slope gives the
maximum share Of the sunshine.
In order to secure the good green
| growth. it is much better to have two
Yards. or a partition fence through
the yard, thus enabling the green
/ growth, rye or oats, or whatever is
grown for forage, 20 get a good start
while the poultry is confined to the
other part.
The size of the yard will depend
quite a good deal upon the care taken
of it, and the way it is managed. II
green growth is kept upon it most, OF
all through the growing season the
yard need not be so large; if bare, it
should be regularly and thoroughly
cleaned of all refuse once each month

RELIC OF FRENCH REVOLUTION.
Knife of Guiilotine Used in Execution
of Marie Antoinette.

of Marie A%ntoinette.
The knife of the guillotine used at
the execution of Louis XVI. and Marie
Antoinette has been discovered in the
museum of a private collector IN
Brussels. This gruesome relic seems
we'll authenticated.
From a note by M. Gustave Babin
in the Illustration it seems that M.
Dubois. director DIES Halles de BruX-
Giles. acquired it by purchase In 1S43
from Nine. Roch, widow of the exc
cuteur des hautes oeuvres. up 10
this time Nine. Roch declared hat 1t
had never passed out of her posses
sion. The late M. Deibler claimed it.,
but as he would not pay the widow
refused to accede to his request. He
complained to the Minister OF Justice
with the result that the widow was
desired to take the blade to tile Ar
chives. But as the State seemed to
emulate M. Deibler's parsimo1y the
widow stuck to her grim souvenir
and sold it to NJ. DUBOIS.
The humorous side of this relic FOL
lows. but we must first complete the
title. M. Roch received the knife
from his predecessor, M. Hemdere'ch'
who himself had obtained It from
Henri Samson, the last descendant OF
the dynasty of this name. Now. Henri
Samson was the grandson of the exc
cutioner of the hapless King n
Queen.
He was dismissed from his high OIL
flee on account of a scandal. The exc
cutioner, suffering from the res au'

men would have failed, and to tell the
truth he pawned the guillotine. And,

A Humble Queen.

Queen Adelaide, the wife Of King
