In his recent address on the advan cages of soiling in the dairy business Vlason Knox said to a farmers' club Land has increased in value, labo Is higher and more remunerative re iurns are necessary to the dair farmer. To-day we must bring th liiYiiHani erasKPs to our animals th frhole year. In the winter we us jilage and root crops. In the summe we must soil our animals. We hav m intense interest in our business and who keep the lazy cattle, th blacks and whites, must fetch th tood to them. We keep these animal to produce milk, not to wander fo food. And the Holstein-Friesian i not a good forager. When you pu the food before her as you should she will consume it and give you large net profit. The importance o soiling then too depends upon th creed of animals you keep. It is no 30 important to the Ayrshire to prac tice soiling as it is to the Holsteic Friesian man. They can be kept 0 the moss of rocky pastures and d well, so they say. However, I wotil not advocate any such treatment c any dairy animal. The Ayrshire is wonderfuly good little forager an for pasture farming has no equal but to dairy farmers of this genera tion who have the land that they ca devote to raising rotating crops sue animals have no place in our intens: ?ed business. Alfalfa Seed. Alfalfa seed is a difficult thing t buy and make no mistake. 1. It must not come from a warn: er climate. 2. It must be fresh to be best. 3.

We are often asked to give our idc as to the best method of fastenin cows in their stalls?whether stanci ions arc more satisfactory tha chains. This is largely a matter < taste, although stanchions have a< vantages over chain fastenings. Pe haps the stanchions are a little moi noisy, but they give perfect freedoi lo the cows, either while feeding c \ nd . i lying down, and are by no means the ,n cruel appliances some narrow-minded 10 people are inclined to consider tbem. s> We eYen believe that cow chains give lf the cows a little too much freedom. ty We have seen cows tied with chains almost turn completely around in their stalls. We have known of other instances where they have choked themselves to death when fastened in , this manner. The stanchion probibits both of these troubles. There are some stanchions made so that every jj cow may be fastened or loosened at >r once by throwing a single lever. This ' is a time-saving invention which the dairy farmer appreciates. Every minute must be made to count on the dairy farm, so that labor-saving devices of this sort are also money ? savers as well as a protection for the cattle themselves. We know of an e instance where an attendant had an eye put out by a cow throwing her ^ head when he was about to put the chain about her neck. The cow * stanchion does away with this danger. All things considered, we believe that f the stanchions are far superior to the " chain ties and every practical dairyn man is quick to realize the advan| tages of this modern convenience for the dairy farm.?Weekly Witness. Improving the Pig Crop. Many farmers have started out this " spring with the intention of doing better by their coming crop of pigs " than they have in the past. By doing better, I mean giving a closer attention to the feed problem, r and the care problem, so that the pigs, when mature, will have made a favorable growth at a low cost, and l* at .the same time have developed ^ strong frames, especially in the case 3 of those pigs which are intended to be s kept for breeding purposes. ? It will be well for every man who desires to bring his pigs through the 11 season in good form and condition to calculate to supply some of those y foods which are known to have a s favorable influence on the develops ment of the framework of the pig. y It is needless to say that corn alonfe Q will not serve the purpose. While it 5 is true that corn in conjunction with good pasture makes a diet for the growing pigs which can hardly be im? proved on, it often happens that the pasture contains little to attract the pigs. In that case they are sure to lie around the yards and stuff themselves with grain in preference to seeking " the grass and the exercise which they >. on erre<it.iv need in conjunction, which : is so essential to the health and thrift r of the animal. The best bone-building foods are y those rich in protein and mineral mate ter.' Skim milk, perhaps, stands at e the head of the list, and it will pay e to lay in some tankage, shortage, and r possibly some bone meal, as well as e pure mineral matter. '> It cannot be expected, however, e that the feeding of feeds bearing e large amounts of mineral matter, s such as have been' mentioned, will r change the conformation of any part s of the skeleton, or, for example, make t a pig stand straight, if he is otherwise. The improvement will have to a be nlade through selection, using no lf male or female that is faulty. e It might, too, be urged that if care* ful selection were practiced, it would be unnecessary to consider -,the diet, l" since strong boned breeding stock n would naturally impress these good 0 points on their progeny. d On the contrary, it might be said ?f that, men have been trying for years a to breed poor hogs out of their herds d without giving attention to a balanced > food ration problem, and they are L" practically where they started. 11 We generally find that when men k feed little or no grain and do not care i* to hasten the growth of their pigs, the quality of the bone is generally very satisfactory. But there is a good deal of time re0 quired in growing pigs in this manner, and while time is nothing to the . hog, it is to the owner, and when he proposes to force growth, he should plan to force it evenly; that is, that jj the pig is not made fat at the expense of his growth and health.? j R.

How and Why They Were Introj duced Into Hospitals. :s| In the operating rocms of hospi ,r tals and on the surgical carriages in Is the wards may be seen a piece of ,r soap stuck with the varieties of pins y which it pleases the doctor and the 's head nurse to most affect. :r The black headed pin long associated with crinoline dressings, retains -- still an honored place, says the Alr umnae Magazine of Johns Hopkins 1- Hospital. The history of the introduction of the soap into the hospital n is interesting. Three years ago Dr. R. H. Follis operated upon a patient at the Church Home. The patient was a P tailor by profession and chanced to P- reside at Annapolis'. When dressings n were made he observed the difficulty w with which the safety pins were put d through the binder and suggested trying the method the cadets at the d Naval Academy had evolved to help t- in pinning through their stiff ducks, w This simple but most effective device was a piece of soap as a pin cushion, and he further remarked that carpenters applied the same principle to screws.

SCENE IN THE ISLAND OF MAVR1TIU The average student of geography i knows that the Island of Mauritius i |ies in the Indian Ocean, about 600 . miles east of Madagascar, and that it belongs to England, but he might not i be able to tell'whether Mauritius is s notably distinguished from a score of Dther islands lying in the southern ' hemisphere, although the name Mau- 1 ritius calls up before two classes of i minds pictures almost as vivid as 1 does the fateful names of Elba or St. Helena. One of these classes consists of the i lovers of romantic literature all over : the world, to whom the name Mauri- i tius suggests the tender and pathetic 1 idyl of "Paul and Virginia," of which ' this island was the theatre. : The second, and much smaller ' class, are the paleontologists, or students of extinct animal forms, to < whom Mauritius is memorable as the last home of th?' dodo, a grotesque and clumsy bird, with only rudimen- < tary wings, which appears to have 1 been extirpated about the year 1650. : In an elaborate and costly work on I the dodo, published in London in 1 1848, under the patronage of Prince : Albert, is found the following quaint < description of the dodo, taken from Sir Thomas Herbert's journal of his visit to Mauritius in 1626: 1 "The dodo comes first to our de- i scription. Here (and nowhere else that ever I could see or heare of) is generated the dodo (a Portuguize name it is, and has references to her : eimplenes), a bird which for shape and rarenesse might be called a Phoenix (wer't in Arabia); her body is < Fac-simile of a drawing supposed to have made from life*by Zanen.

I "Let's take her picture; her visage darts forth melancholy, as sensible as nature's injurie in framing so great and massie a body to be directed by such small and complementall wings as are unable to hoise her from the ground, serving only to prove her a bird; which otherwise might be doubted of; her head is variously drest, the one half hooded with downy blackish feathers; the other i perfectly naked; of a whitish hue, as i if a transparent lawne had covered it; her bill is very howked, and bends downwards, the thrill or breathing place is in the mid3tof it; from which part to the end, the colour is a light greene mixt with a pale yellow; her eyes be round and small, and bright as diamonds; ' her cloathing is of finest downe, such as you see in goslins; her trayne is (like a Chynese beard) of three or foure short feathi ers; her legs thick, and black, and 1 strong; her tallons sharp, her stomack fiery hot, so as stones and iron "WOLFE'S MONUMENT ON THEI .

THE L.VST HOME OF THE DODO. are easily digested in it; in that an< shape not a little resembling th< A.fric oestricheJi." But one living specimen of th< dodo was ever known to have beei seen outside of Mauritius. This on< was brought alive to Europe by s Dutch navigator, and exhibited ii London io 1G39. The evidence o this is contained in a manuscript ii the British Museum by Hailion L'Es trange, and is as follows: "About 1638, as I walked Londoi streets, I saw the picture of a strangi t'owle hong out upon a cloth and my selfe with one or two more then ii company went in to see it. It wai kept in a chamber, and was a grea fowle somewhat bigger than th< largest turky cock, and so legged an< footed, but shorter and thicker an< of a more erect shape, coloured be fore like the breast of a young cocl fesan, and on the back of dunn o rleare r.nlour. The keeDer called it < dodo, and in the ende of a chymne: in the chamber there lay a heape o large pebble stones, whereof hee gav< It many in our sight, some as bigge a nutmegs, and the-keeper told us shei eats them (conducing to digestion).' A distinctly plaintive note in al the literature extent concerning thi dodo excites curiosity and compas sion. In his introduction to the dod< book, from which these extracts an taken, this feeling is appeuled to b; the author as follows: "We canno see without regret the extinction o the last Individual of any race of or ganic beings whose progenitors col onized the preadamite earth." An analysis of the reason for i specially compassionate interest ii the dodo would seem to show that i is founded on the strikingly gro tesque character of the bird, take] with the fact that nature had beei cruelly unkind to her in the matte o:! equipment for self-defense. Sh could neither run nor fly, but was, a one traveler expressed it, "a spec! men of gigantic immaturity, a per manent nestling clothed with dowi instead of feathers, and with wing anrd tail so short and feeble as to b utterly unsubservient to flight." Of this cruelty of nature the dod< herself appeared to be sensible, am to show it in "'her visage," accordin, to the account of Sir Thomas Her bert. At any rate, it made the ei tinction of the dodo, after the discos ery of the Issland of Mauritius by th Portuguese about 1505, go swift an complete as to give it, to one intei ested, a flavor of tragedy. The las of the fifteenth century and the b< ginning of the sixteenth made an er of geographical discovery, when ever sea was filled with the barks of e> plorers and marauding buccaneers i search of new worlds. To these rutt less food hunters the dodo fell a easy prey, while the domestic animal which accompanied civilization war tonly devoured her eggs:. In the narrative of one of these ej plorers, William van Wert Zaner who visited Mauritius in 1602, h speaks of killing; fifty dodos and tal ing them on board his ship, wher they were salted. Assailed thus, bot .n front and rear, what wonder tha tb^ dodo's visage "darted forth me,' ; .iCholy," or that it gave up the ui equal struggle? The cut here show accompanied Zanen's narrative, an is supposed to be from a drawin made by him. The scanty relics of the dodc amounting to little more tnan rrag ments of a head, a leg and a foot, ca be foand only in the treasured collet tions of nations, while the painting made from life of this despised an martyred bird by Roelandt Saver are beyond price. ?
