F A Good Daily Cow. When you see a calf that is everything that could be asked for in the way of gentleness, there is every prospect that she will make a good dairy cow. A wild calf can hardly ever be made fit for the dairy.? Farmers' Home Journal. Test the Cows. Keep a record and test your cows. In this manner you will find out the profitable cows in the herd. Since you cannot afford to keep an unprofitable cow the sooner you learn the unprofitable ones the better for you. ?Farmers' Home Journal. Cider to Vinegar.

Holds the Cow's Tail. 4 A new and improved contrivance Pfor holding the switch of a cow when the cow is being milked has been designed by a Massachusetts man. The holder is constructed from a flat circular strip of spring metal, which is :lamped around the leg of the attendant. To prevent it moving a number Protection For the Milker. Df projections are placed on tbe inner face, which engage the trousers of tho wearer. On the outer face of the strip is a spring clamp, one end of which is rivr ated to the strip, while the opposite end is free and curved slightly outward, so that the switch of the animal can bo readily entered between the strip and the clamp. The animal is thus unable to swish her tail in the milker's face, protecting the latter A from injury in this way. ? Weekly Witness. The Value of a Farm. There are few farmers or gardeners who place a proper estimate upon the value of their farms; I do not refer to the salable value of the land alone. What does it matter to you or me what our farms will sell for if we do not care to sell them? The question for us to decide is what is our farm worth to us for the purpose of furnishing a home and a livelihood? Suppose you havo a farm with comfortable buildings, which you can sell for $5000, says Southern Fruit Grower. This farm furnishes a house in which you and your family abide, a garden, a playground about the house, barns for stabling your horses, cattle, food for these animals and almost all that you consume in the family. In other words, the farm very largely supplies the wants of your family and provides you with horses and carriages for traveling wherever you wish to go. Now suppose you sell this farm for $5000 in cash and move to the city. You can scarcely buy a house and a small lot without barns that are as comfortable as your own for 55000. In the city you are taxed for city taxes at least one hundred dollars. Your exponses are increased in the city for car fares, for cost of everything you have to do. since you find it necessary to wear better clothes which cost you more money; you also have your amusements and other , expenses which are increased in the city life. In other words the $5000 which in the country almost provides for your living, in the city simply provides a shelter from the storm. Eut there is another trouble in the city, and a most serious one. Your $D000 is invested in your house and you have no business, where* as the farm has not only furnished a home but a paying busiucss also. Live Stock Manure Value. It is well known that such foods as clover, alfalfa, tankage, bran, middlings. etc., have a high per cent, of protein, and that the manure of live stock largely led on these i3 much the most valuable for the soil. An agricultural writer touching this matter calls attention to the fact that "Chemistry of the Farm," by Warrington, says that when fed to oxen all except 3.9 per cent, of the nitrogen of the food is voided either as a solid or liquid ej'cre'soat. that 73.5 per cent, is voided a? liquid e::cren:ent, hence the importance; of keeping plenty of absorbent at band. Wo also find thai 14.7 per cent, of tho nitrogen i.s retained in the bodywhen the food is given to pigs. Twenty-one per cent, is voided in the solid excrement and G4.J per cent, voided as liquid excrement. There is a marked difference between the ox and the pig in ihis respect, duo to the rapid growth of the pig. As to the ash constituent of food, the saLLe author says that 2.l\ per MEpjplp cent, of the ash of the food is storec up in the body and that 97.7 per cent is voided in the excrement when th< feed is given to an ox, while a pif will retain 4.5 per cent, of the ash o the food and void 95.5 in the excre ment. The figures show that only i small per cent, of the plant food if sold off the farms when animals ar< fed the products, and that the rapic exhaustion of the soil's fertility is i result of carelessness and lack upoi the part of the farmer of properl] managing tho various farm opera tions. By a judicious management anc the feeding of farm animals it has not only been possible but practicabh to increase the production of the farrr from year to year without spendinf large sums of money each year foj commerical fertilizer. Succulence and Palatability. We have often called attention t< the fact that silage had the importan' * - C ?- ???.. or?/l nolo^Qhil elements ui butuuicuto auu ity so essential in feeding dairy cows Referring to this matter Valancey E Fuller, the well known dairyman, ii a contribution to the Practical Dairy man says: The chemist cannot tell us why th< water that is contained in all thes? succulent feeds play such an impor tant part in the well doing of the cow He will tell us that pasture grass ii eighty per cent, water; that corn si lage has 79.1 per cent.; sugar beets S6.5 per cent.; mangel beets, 90.? per cent.; carrots, 88.6 per cent.; cab bage and pumpkin over 90 per cent each. Yet this very water, as we fine it in the various succulents, plays i very important part in the digestior of other food taken in conjunctior with the succulents. It seems to acl directly on the bowels and kidneys o1 the cows and maintains the cattle ii that healthy condition which is essential to the best production. We know that apples contain 80.{ per cent, water, yet we know also hov beneficial that "juice" as we call it, is to us as a regulator of the bowels and how, if we eat an apple or twe each day, it contributes to our gooc health. Corn silage is the cheapest of al succulent, except pasture grass. Roots are expensive to grow. They cost more per pound of digestible drj matter, than corn silage. Although I had all the silage that I required tc feed my cows in wintei and in the drj season of summer, I used to grow al the roots I possibly could on my owr place and contracted tor 12,000 bushels a year, to feed the cows. My experience showed me that cows woulc do better when tfiey had corn silag( if they were fed roots, especially man gels and sugar beets, than they die without them, and what the beets cost me extra was more than saved ii the lessened grain fed each day. If every dairyman would put ui enough corn silage in the fall to feec his cows in the winter and carry ovei enough to feed them in the dry spel that comes in the late summer, his bank account would be materially added to each year.?Farmer. Poultry Notes. uuu i uvciciunu. Don't allow the pullets to crowd ii a corner the first few nights they are moved from winter roosts; teact them what the roosts are for. This is a good time to plan the next season's business. Be regulai in caring for and feeding the poultry; regularity counts for more than man] think. Don't allow a scrap to be wasted; fresh scraps of meat mean increased number of eggs; the cracklings, whei well pressed, are good to feed hens in limited quantity. Many families will make no use o: the livers at all; it would pay to se cure these and save to feed hens Much better give to the poultry thai to leave for stray dogs and cats. If there is a north or northwes' window in the poultry house, clos< 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 th< cold storage plan, then the meat mus be cooked; one of the kettles ii which the lard was rendered will b< the handiest for a cooking vessel Salt just enough to keep from sour ing. In ireezing weather all that is nec essary is to put dressed poultry ii cold storage, out of the reach of cat! and dogs; it will keep just as long ai it remains frozen, of course it will b< necessary uiaw uuo mess uciuk feeding. When selecting a new site for tb< poultry yards, remember a souther! slope is best, and a loose, rich soil containing enough gravel or sand t( allow of rains soon soaking in, is th< best. The southern slope gives th< maximum share of the sunshine. In order to secure the good greet growth, it is much better to have tw< yards*. or a partition fence througl the yard, thus enabling the greei growth, rye or oats, or whatever ii grown for forage, to get a good start while the poultry is confined to th< other part. The size of the yard will depen< quite a good deal upon the care takei of it. and the way it is managed. I green growth is kept upon it most, o; all through the growing season th< yard need not be so large: if bare, i should be regularly and thoroughl; clcaned of all refuse once each month Moving pictures of the flight of in sects have been made with exposure; of 1-42,000 second. ' ' " - RELIC OF FRENCH REVOLUTION. Knife of Guillotine Used in Execution I of Marie Antoinette. 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 well authenticated. From a note by M. Gustave Babin in the Illustration it seems that M. Dubois, director des Halles de Brux- j j elles, acquired it by purchase in 1843 t from Mme. Roch, widow of the exe' cuteur des hautes oeuvres. Up to 7 g , this time Mme. Roch declared that it t [ had never passed out of her josses- a sion. The late M. Deibler claimed it, ? o l but as he would not pay the widow 3 refused to accede tc his request. He ^ ? complained to the Minister of Justice, [ with the result that the widow was . desired to take the blade to the Archives. But as the State seemed to . emulate M. Deibler's parsimony the ? widow stuck to her grim souvenir and sold it to M. Dubois. I The humorous side of this relic fol- C 3 lows, but we must first complete the ^ ^ title. M. Roch received the knife t ^ from his predecessor, M. HemdereJch, , who himself had obtained it from ^ ' Henri Sanson, the last descendant of the dynasty of this name. Now. Henri Sanson was the grandson of the executioner of the hapless King and ^ v | ^utreij. ) He was dismissed from his high of- 8 t ficc on account of a scandal. The exe- s - cutioner, suffering from the "res au- F . gusta," had to raise a loan, and his a . fertility of idea succeeded where most 1 J men would have failed, and to tell the c - truth he pawned the guillotine. And, 8 adds a Paris contemporary which re- a i lates the story: "La Veuve chez la 6 ? Tante: cette rencontre parut intoler , able." As an instance of morbid hu. mor this is "facile princeps." The 3 recent sale by auction of the guillo- a - tine can only be classed "proxime ac- c , cessit."?London Globe. e > s Culinary Fame- t Mme.

The Paris Revue,1 in order to find out how men of thought and action stand toward the feeling of being afraid, has asked some notable Frenchmen whether they know fear. M. Alfred Loisy, the well known professor of the College de France, explains that he has not the military temperament, and though he cannot boast of bravery he has never known fear. "Perhaps," lie aaas moaesuy, "it is because I have never been in { great peril." M. Victor Marguerite, the author, boldly avowed that "sometimes" he had been afraid, but that "fear is more of a physical trouble than a feeling"?in fact, ike being hot or cold, hungry or thirsty. M. A. Meziere, fchough he has never trembled, not even under fire, knows wfiat fear is, for he looked into its face one day when galloping along on horseback he suddenly found him- 1 self facing an express train. M. Lucal-Championniere, of the Academie of Medicine, owns up to frequent pangs of fear, and points out that those who have never been afraid must be blind, because they' have never seen danger, or dense, because they have not felt its threatening approach. M. R. Poincare, the orator, w.hile explaining that he knows no fiercer battles than those fought at the bar and the tribunal, admits that he never goes to these without fear. But, he adds, the remedy is always the same, "Go ahead! You are afraid as you put your armor on, afraid before the battle, afraid as you rise to speak; but once you are on your feet and sneaking you are no longer afraid."?Westminster Gazette.

Coffee blots out the sunshine from many a home by making the mother, or some other member of the houseHi-cnonfiV nprvniis and irritahle. There are thousands of cases where the proof is absolutely undeniable. Here is one. A Wis. mother writes: "I 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 headaches became a part of me, as I was scarcely ever free from them. "About five years ago a friend urged me to try Postum. I made the trial and the result was so satisfactory that we have used it ever since. . "My husband and little daughter were subject to bilious attacks, but they have both been entirely free from them since we began using Postum instead of coffee. I no longer have headaches and my health is perfect." If some of these nervous, tired, irritable women would only leave off coffee absolutely and try Postum they would find a wonderful change in their life. It would then be filled with sunshine and happiness rather than weariness and discontent. And think what an effect it would have 011 J the family, for the mood of the moth- I er is largely responsible for the tern- I per of the children. j Read "The Road to Wellville," in | pkgs.

The French say that we do not laugh much, and that when we do It is in a measured, deliberate manner. The French can never have seen an English audience at a play of sentiment. An English audience where pathos occurs is a most peculiar thing. It treats the danger of appearing to he affected by sentiment just as the average pedestrian treats the danger of being run down by a cab. It laughs. When a man has escaped being impaled on a shaft or flattened into jelly by the bonnet of a motor, his first feeling is one of selfconsciousness, and he emits the Nervous Laugh. It is the same in the theatre. The theatre-goer adores pathos, but resists it. Often one thinks that now at last the audience has surrendered itself to the grip of a scene crammed with fearful beauty. And it is just then that something in the house goes snap, and the nervous laugh breaks the tense silence. We hope that the actors on the stage do not misunderstand this laugh. It Is not ridicule. It is the greatest tribute that an English audience can pay to pathos. We think that everybody should unite in bolstering up the nervous laugh. Already we have noticed a sort of rival to it. During a sentimental passage the other night the laugh was drowned by the Riven Soul Sneeze. Surely the Nervous Laugh is to be preferred.?London Globe.
