Gent to last 1900 years. Anyway, we
won't need to worry about it until next
summer.
That is no small job which the Eng.
lish have carried out in connection with
the Assuan dam, which, with the irri-
cation works connected with it, has
cost $50, 100000. But Notwithstanding
the huge expense connected with the
work it is estimated that the value Of
adjacent land has been increased by q
billion dollars.
Several medical authorities are
agreed that the common %housefy, in
addition to being a carrier Of typhoid
germs. is also the chief distributor of
the virus of the dreaded disease, infan-
tile paralysis. The fly was in bad re-
pute before, and this last Indictment
ought to be enough to put it out Of
business altogether.
The Kansas Agricultural college has
a Holstein COW thirteen years old which
last year gave a profit Of $500 above
cost Of keep. There are hundreds upon
hundreds Of dairy herds the country
over in which the best ten cows on the
list are not netting as much as this
one old bovine. The fine showing she
made was partly due to breed, partly
to feed and a good deal to the one who
owned her.
While there may be slight variations
in the rule, it is pretty safe to assume
that the prices charged for the several
brands or grades of soft coal CORE
spond quite closely to their value as
measured in heat units. Often the ad-
vantage, If such there be, ts in favor
Of the higher priced grades. there being
less ash and clinker and hence less
trouble in keeping CRATES clean and
the fire in good condition.
Rabbits, especially young ones, make
t0othsome eating If properly cooked.
They make a nice dish when parboiled
and fried, are good roasted with dress
ing and make a great stew with dump
lings. While some uncomplimentary
things are now and then said about the
rabbit, it is nevertheless one of the
.cleanest of animals. Its habits are like
those Of the sheep, while it is vastly
cleaner than the hog or chicken.
The habit Of niggardliness and miser-
Illness should be Stunned as one would
a pestdlence. 1t is the most abject and
contemplate form Of self1shness and
will warp and destroy the soul-the
dnest-in q person az sure as disease
will destroy the physical body. II
there Is q pathetic as we'll as contempt
ible object under the sun it is one
grown to mans or woman's estate who
has this disease Of stinsiness fastened
upon him.
Horse owners of the country lose
tens of thousands Of dollars annually
through failure to recognize the dam
ger in not giving work horses opportu-
nifty for exercise when not ut work and
while a nearly full feed is kept up.
Azoturia, an acute kidney trouble, is
likely to develop under the conditions
referred to. Horses not working should
have their feed reduced. but in any
event they should have opportunity
for daily exercise. Thousands Of valu-
able horses die annually because of a
failure to observe this simple precau-
ton.
For the great stretch. of semiarid
country lying west Of meridian 100
degrees, which extends in q pretty
straight belt from the Canadian line
to southern Texas, the culture of the
milo maize seems to give much prom
Use. The grain produced by this plant
has about the same feeding value as
corn and belongs to the maize or corn
family, as its name indicates. Its
chief value for the section Of country
mentioned lies in its drought resistant
power and it's ability to produce a
crop in seasons so dry that practically
all other cereals fail.
