SUCCUlENCE IN THE WINTER
System to Bring Its Efficiency Up to Paying Point.

Corn silage should be a predominant ing factor in the winter ration There is nothing superior to water enclosed in plant cells to give the ration the consistency agreeable to the COW, and best suited to promote her health and yigor, 1t is not the amount the COW digests that wholly determines the re- turns from her feed but the amount that is built into body tissues and made into milk.
 Succulent feed gives just the right tone to the animals digestive system to bring it's efficiency up to the limit of profitable production. If, therefore, there is one quality in feed which is more important than another. it is that it should be palatable and juicy. It enables the COWS to eat. digest and assimilate larger quantities of other feed There is little danger of cows going of, feed when they are eating liberal quantities of roots or corn si- lage in connection with their grain feeds.

If she sees the ring first she will be married that year, if she sees the water first the year will be unlucky; if the thimble, fortune will smile on her; if the ashes, she will die.
 On New Years eve If maiden wishes to know her fate during the coming year. she must go into the open air with a psalm book in one hand and a piece of silver in her mouth.

DAIPY NOTFS

Dairying is the best paying factor in diversified farming.
 
 It is not considered advisable to milk a COW right up to the time of calving.
 The greatest success comes to the dairyman who studies his business most carefully.
 Do not hesitate to pay a round price for a good registered sire. He will pay for himself in short time. The first growth of sorghum pro vides a valuable feed for cows during periods of summer drought The proper equipment for running a dairy is in some respects as impor- tant as the keeping of the right kind of COWS.

MACHINE SURGEONS
They No Longer Need To Sew Up Pa
dents by Hand.

New York. April 14.-Discussion of
papers on gastric and duodenal ulcer
occupied the attention today of the
foreign and American surgeons at
tending the fourth congress of the
International Surgical association in
convention here this week, Clinics at
many hospitals were visited during
convention recesses.
Among the many instruments ex-
hibited at the convention is a minia-
ture sewing machine attached to q
clamp. This is used in stitching in
cisions made in the tissues of the
stomach and intestines. Another ex-
hibit which is of much interest to the
foreign visitors was a piece OF mech
anism in the shape. OF an artificial
hand and arm. The artificial hands
open and close att will; they have a
vice-1ike grip and when one is taught
to use the artificial member he can
write easily. pick up small objects
such as coins from the floor. manipu-
late knife and fork, and execute doz-
ems of other necessary tasks with but
trifling. Inconvenience.
