Dairy Notes.

Every dairy ration must depend
somewhat upon the prevailing price
Of feeds.
1t is the general average of the herd
that decides the profit and not the re-
turns from one or two Of the best
cows.
Every buttermaker should have two
aims-one to make the best butter and
the other to help his patrons produce
the best cream.
One advantage about keeping rec
ords of the individuals of the herd Is
seen in the improvement that takes
place from year to year.
The dry COW should never be neg
lected. Her ability as a profit pro-
Queer during the next period depends
upon her care when dry.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by am infamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
Illumination can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflammed con.
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

New Jersey is credited with being one
of the best poultry producing states in
the union and equalled only by Rhode
Island and California. Prof. H. r.
Lewis Of the State Agricultural college
of New Jersey is authority for the
statement that the single-combed white
leghorn is the pride Of the poultry farm,
FORTS eggs command the best prices on
the market. He says that the character
of the soil and climate combined with
the nearness to the great markets
makes it one of the best states for the
raising Of poultry. Prof. Lewis says
the poultry industry has increased
from $4,000, 600 to $1,000, 600 within a
few years.

Winter Keeping of Vegetables.

The matter of keeping Irish pota-
toes, cabbages, onions, beets, etc, all
winter for family use depends on
climatic conditions. Irish potatoes, as
also beets, should be guarded against
freezing. Beets and carrots can stand
little of it, but are better off when
kept from It, Cabbages stored in the
cellar should be wrapped separately in
double thicknesses of newspaper, fold
ing and tying it around the stem.
Hang each head upside down ON the
side of the wall or from the beams
overhead. Cabbages can stand some
freezing, but not too much of 1t, nor
much freezing and thawing. Onions
to keep well must be put in cool,
dry, airy place.-Farm and Fireside. .

ASBESTOS.
AS the country becomes more popu-
lated, the more its natural resources
and advantages will be known, and
brought into active and useful service. -
At present we only allude to the mines
and minerals of North America. We
hope that every sort of mineral will be
discovered in due season, except gold
mines. These would quickly demor-
alize the habits, and then subvert the
virtue and industry of the people.
A Newburyport paper states that Mr..
Bole has found, near Parker's river, in
Newburyport, a piece of mineral sub
stance, which appears by experiment
from its durability in fire, to be the
genuine asbestos.

recollects, in 1874, seeing several large
pieces of asbestos on an island in
Parker's river, called Kent Island. 1t

Captain Bonavita's Most Dancer
Gus Moment

From Critical Moments with Wild
Animals" by Ellen Velvin, in the Feb
ruary McClure's.
| asked Captain Bonavita once what
he considered his most dangerous mo-
ment when he PERFORMED with his
twenty-seven lions. He said that he
thought it was when he first entered
the arena. The moment before, when
he had to drive this great herd of lions
in, was almost as bad; but the first few
minutes when the crowd of lions en-
tered were terribly uncertain and I'M
doubtedly the most dangerous.
In the first place, with such crowd
there was the danger of being pushed
or knocked down. Then, there was
the danger of tripping among them, or
of stepping on their tails; for many of
them would lie down and roll over
and over as a preliminary to the per-
Torrance, and, if he were not struck
by their feet, he was just as likely to
be struck across the face or body with
their strong, ropelike tails.
In getting them into their places
there was also considerable danger.
for in such crowd it is difficult to
treat each animal accor ding to its pc
culiar idiosyncrasies, and flick of the
whip intendedfor one lion who would
be fairly Indifferent to it, is likely to be
caught by another to whom it will
mean instant revolt. In any sort of re-
volt the whole number will always side
with the one that caused it.

FRONT VIEW OF DRAG.

sled upside down to the lever harrow
with the teeth set back. OF all the
devices used for dragging the soil the
drag shown in the diagram is prob
ably most effective. The plank drag
made by tapping some 2 by inch
plank works all right in very dry soil,
but is all wrong for soils properly
moist for best results in working. The
drag shown here will work anywhere
and at almost any time. Such drag
is easy to make and not at all expen-
sive. In the diagrams a and b are

two horses or II feet for three, and
are by pieces bolted to the plank,
is draft chain and may be fastened
where shown or farther back, while
XXX are two short boards nailed in place
for the driver to stand on. The latter
pieces, XXX, should not be too wide, as
they might cause the soil to collect
and pack underneath. The plank
and b should he set at an angle of 80
degrees to id. and the joints should
be secured with two bolts each. This
drag is simple and strong and will
stand a lot of rough usage in the field
and its use will give satisfaction to

Plants For Winter Pasture.

Many plants can be used for winter
pasture. OF course it is more difficult
to secure winter than summer grazing,
but with the proper use of bur clover,
rye, oats, vetch and crimson clover, all
fall sown, there is little trouble to Sc
cure grazing areas through the winter.

Re d Cross Sacred.

The American Red Cross has request
ed the Solicitor General of the United
States to advise it as to the proper steps
for the enforcement of that section of
its federal charter relating to the use
of its emblem and name for advertising
purposes by manufacturers, retailers,
physicians, charitable organizations,
BARRIERS, and others.
1t is believed that many persons who
use the emblem or the name of the Red
Cross for advertising purposes do so in
ignorance of the fact that such use is
forbidden by law with penalties for vio-
lation which, in aggravated cases, may
be fine of $500 and Imprisonment for
one year. The scope of the law is
shown by the following extract:
1T shall be unlawful for any person,
corporation, or association other than
the American National Red Cross and
its duly authorized employees and agents
and the army and navy sanitary and
hospital authorities of the United
States, for the purpose of trade or as an
advertisement to induce the sale of any
article whatsoever, or for any business
or charitable purpose to use within the
territory of the United States of Amer
lea and its exterior possessions the en-
blem of the Greek Red Cross on "a
white ground, or any sign or insignia
made or colored in imitation thereof,
or of the words 'Red Cross" or Gen
eva Cross, or any combination of these
words"
The United States has entered into
treaty with all the civilized govern
ments of the world to prevent the use
of the emblem and name of the Red
Cross except as above stated, and this
law is intended as a means of complying
with the terms of the treaty.
Already there are evidences that pub
lie sentiment is responding to this move
ment to respect the peculiar signifi-
canoe of the Red Cross and to protect
1t against abuse. The American Medi-
cal association, the American HOSPITAL
association, and the Association of Mill
tary Surgeons have put themselves on
record in favor of the movement. Am
balances in New York have given up
the Red Cross and have adopted the
green st. Andrews cross instead. The
Retail Druggists association and the
Master BARRIERS association have passed
resolutions urging their members to
refrain from the use of the symbol of
the Red Cross.
From many sources are coming pro-
tests against the use of this emblem.
which means so much to the soldier on
the battlefield and the sufferer in time
OF disaster, as an advertisement of
such things as dynamite, sausage cas-
ings, kindling wood, toilet paper, wash
boards, stoves, shoes, mineral water
toothbrushes, and the like. The officers
of the American Red Cross are hoping
that the example of a great depart
ment store in Los Angeles may be
widely followed. The proprietor of
this store has declined to carry in stock
any article bearing the Red Cross as
trademark.

Manure From the BARNARD.

Manure from the barnyard adds hui
mus to the soil, and humus acts like
sponge, retaining moisture in the SOIL
making it more capable of absorbing
a heavy rainfall and Of holding it there
longer. The moral, therefore, is to
save and carefully spread all barnyard
manure over the fields. Manure is
worth dollars and will put dollars into
the farmers pockets.

qualities this by saying that his recol-
