Water Before Meals, le the trep?f>i> ij^oiitn of-t3iQge~f* <CoDe authorities on this matter has been that the habit of drinking water at meals is a deleter ious one, it is now stated, according to recent investigations that a little water, if not too cold, is beneficial, as it assists in the digestion of food. A too copious supply of water dilutes the gastric juice, and if too cold lowers th? temperature of the stomach below normal, thus impairing digestion. If, however, water is taken in limited quantities the peptones formed by the action of gastric juice on food will be washed aside, thereby facilitating ab sorption. By this means che undigest ed food is laid bare and is more sus ceptible to further action of the ga's tjrlc juioe. During tho period of rest phlegm, being very tenacious, prevents the free flow of gastric juice for 6ome time, hence delays digestion. A drink of water before meals is recommend ed, because it loosens and wash*?; ,away this deposit of mucus, thereby permitting the gastric juice to attack the food as it enters the stomach. Boston Transcript. German Children Walk. (From Charles Gerould's "Child Life in Germany," in February St. Nicholas.) . If I were asked what ls the favorite amusement o? German children, I should answer, taking long walks into the country'- The love of nature seems to born with most of them. Be sides, they are sturdy young folks, and . are perfectly willing to put up with in conveniences. For these reasons they are just the people to enjoy walking in the country, and the practice begun in childhood is kept up during life. When the children go on these long walks, they often carry what we should call a botanical box (that is, a tin box about a foot and a half long, with rounded edges, and a lid on hinges), slung ov?r the shoulder by a strap.

Unexplained Antipathy cf the Latter j For the Former. j The disappearance of caribou before the invading herds of red or Virginia deer is one of the puzzling facts o:: ? raturai history. The red deer are nol. half tho size of the caribou, yet it is. j beyond dispute that even where the^ latter exist in largest numbers they will rapidly disappear before the ad vance of Vee former. Years ago cari bou abounded in the woods of northerr. Maine and in the province of Quebec. Then the graceful little red deer ?niven north and west by the wolves, gradually spread into the home of the caribou, and within a season or two the latter had become as scarce in their old home as the red deer previ ously had besn. On the other hand, the north country of Canada, in the neighborhood of Lake St. John and St. Maurice, which formerly supported vast herds of deer, has been completely deserted by them ibr many yeaps past, though moose afcid caribou arie plentiful. Equally far north, in the Ottawa and Gatineau country, rod deer and moose are found in very large nfcrobers, but no caribou. 0\??ng largely, ir. is supposed, to thc increase in the number of wolves, the range of the red deer is rapidly extend ing to the's"outh and east, and speci IM^ Jrave been seen and killed in parts of the country north of Quebec, where they had not been seen before for more than a generation. The In dian and other hunters are already foretelling the disappearance of the caribtou from this part of the country, where they are at present very abund ?nt. There is a theory that the instinct of trie caribou tells them that an invasion of their feeding grounds by the deer is due to the pursuit of the latter by | the wolves, and that it is the horror of these pests which leads them to for sake any territory to which they seen to know that their distasteful nel^u tors are fleeing for refuge. There arc not waneing careful observers among Canadian woodsmen who attribute to jealousy of the little Virginia deer, at the approach of the mating season, the action of the caribou In fleeing with its mate from the company and the coun try of his gay little rival. The prob lem is a most interesting one, and is engaging the attention of many inves tigators.-New York Sun. A SERIOUS QUESTION. What makes people laugh?

Sentiment is stronger that good roads are certainly as worthy a cause as good harbors. Part of the traffic all that is produced-has to pass over the roads. Harbors are necessary and of benefit to the country. Good roads will benefit the whole country more immediately. The benefit of it will be direct, something tangible. While providing better facilities for the ex ports and import of materials, why not add to the welfare of the farmer, the small owners, by inaugurating a sys tem of good roads. Such a policy, by bringing the producer closer to the market, enhances the value not only of produce, but of the farms on which it is produced. It will add to the wealth of the country.

It is a noticeable fact that but few farmers seem to care about the ap pearance of their farms farther than is absolutely necessary to make the crops. With some. no effort is put forth to destroy a weed unless it is in the track ci the plow. Not a fence or a gate kept in repair farther than may be necessary to restrain the stock. A clean farm is not only one that has a cleared up appearance, but one where there is a destruction of all weeds that take life and strength from the grasses and cultivated crops. A weed will give back to the land the strength that it takes from it in growing, but it does not stop there; it makes a strong effort to propagate itself in the hundreds nf seeds that it scatters. To a thrifty farmer there is a degree of pleasure in noting the strong rich growth of a weed. It tells him there is strength of soil where it grows, that bc can turn to his own use. But there is no pleasure to him in the full de velopment of the weed, for he sees in it an evidence of carelessness on his part. A weedy farm gets a bad name that the owner cannot rid of as long as he lets weeds grow, for a weedy farm generally means a shiftless man. When a farm is allowed lo grow up in weeds, whether from favorable weath er, the expense of cutting, or a lack of interest, the farmer is the loser. Weeds will, in time, restore life and strength to worn out lends, but there is no living profit meantime; they are too slow. Grasses and clovers will do the work with much mere speed and profit, and a neat pasture adds much to the appearance of the farm. Some men consider full grown rag weed a benefit to the soil, and a protec tion to thc grass and clover in winter. Does it never occur to them that rag weed, either dead or green, cannot add to thc attractiveness of the farm? While I find it almost impossible to keep down weeds, I do not let them grow because I attach any value to them above what. I could get from the growth of plants that are useful for forage and food. A pasture may be enhanced fn beau ty by irregular outline and indulating surface, but a field for cultivation is more attractive with level surface and parallel fences. It does not add to the beauty of a farm to allow the fences to be overgrown with vines and bushes. It is a good thing for the young farmer to cultivate the habit of keeping things in shape about his fields and buildings, and it is a habit that develops to his advantage. If there are stones on the surface of the land, they should be gathered with' wagons or sleds; what are left may be put into small piles over the fields, or in the fence corners, to be removed some other time. Stones are brought up with each plowing, but if the farm er forms the habit of picking them up as he passes over his fields, the habit sticks to him like a bur. When the farmer takes his mower seat to cut a heavy piece of meadow, there is great satisfaction in knowing that thero is not a stick or stone in the whole field to check his work. One of the hardest corners to keep in or der is the place where refuse lumber and broken rails are kept. These pieces accumulate very rapidly, speci ally where rail fences are going out of use. Old boards are often kept and moved about until they are worn out with travel and weather. It is much better to gladden the heart of your wife by turning all this stuff into stove wood while it is solid. This clearing out adds much to the neatness of the premises.-John M. Jamison, in The Epitomist. PROFITS FROM KEEPING SHEEP. The sheep is primarily a meat-pro ducing animal, and needs to be bred and fed for that purpose. It involves changes in methods from those pre vailing when the wool did pay for the feed. There is no reason at all why men who have been accustomed to keeping sheep and have their farms and their buildings equipped for their management should not continue to keep them. They may need to change the type of their flock, but more prob ably need to change their method of growing them. Mutton cannot be made profitably on the skimping plan that did secure profits when wool was forty cents a pound. The profit is in the lamb, and the earlier in its life it can be marketed the greater the profit. There aro thousands of lambs in this and adjoining states that should be marketed this month that their own ers do not realize are ready for mar ket, and will keep until fall, and prob ably sell for less than they will bring now, for they will not be any heavier and, being older, will be worth less, be cause as an animal increases in age its ability to make gain out of feed consumed decreases. Lambs that weigh sixty-five pounds or above should be sent to market at once. A ewe old enough to produce a lamb can be purchased for what it will bring, and in that way the producing flock be doubled. I know of nu other stock that brings returns so quickly and surely with so little labor and so little risk as a good flock of ewes. Then the immediate dollar is not all to be considered in farm operations. A farmer's capital is not wholly gauged by his bank account. The im provement in fertility and character of the herbage of the farm are import ant results that follow the keeping of sheep. They eat a wider range of herbage than any other animal, and carry fertility to the higher points of the field. It lakes a rich corn farm to insure profits from hog feeding, but a farm will constantly grow more pro ductive under sheep. Two ewes to the acre will pay as good rent for land as anything else, and do it with very little labor.-H. P. Miller, in Ohio Farmer. ECONOMY OF SHELTER. By actual experiment it has been demonstrated that the saving of food by means of good shelter is equal to the cost of the shelter in a short time. Pigs, when provided with good shelter and warm quarters (by experiment made), fattened on much less food than was required to simply keep the un protected animals alive. The compari son is an important one. In the first place, the animals not properly pro vided with suitable accommodations, not paining in weight at all, really de stroyed or wasted all that had been provided them, fer thc food was con verted into heat, in order to give the animals protection that should have been furnished with boards and shing les. In thc one sense.it might be ask ed whether feeding an animal on the products of the farm, which require labor in order to bc produced, ls cheap or than the shelter which, whon ones erected, lasts for a number of years and does service for successive sea sons. The quality of the shelter is as important as the quality of the feed. A pig fed occasionally on a mass of bulky provender containing but little nutrition, certainly is not expected to do as well as one that receives a plen tiful supply of all that is needed to promote growth, health and condition, and neither should it be expected that a shelter which allows the cold to ent er, or the water to ler.k in, can proper ly protect the animal against the rig ors of winter and the moisture of early spring. Good, warm, dry quart ers lessen the quantity of food re quired for bodily heat, and should any surplus food above that required for warmth be fed it will be converted by the animal into healthy growth, and add so much actual value to itself, but if the shelter is such that the animal is compelled to depend upon the food for heat the food so fed is a loss and an expense. Nor is it in the winter only that shelter should be provided. All seasons have their disadvantages in that respect. Warmth in winter and sufficient ventilation in summer should be allowed. In fact, the com fort of the animals should be consid ered. In feeding an animal the ob ject is profit, and every advantage must be taken if the profit is to bo in creased.-Philadelphia Record. STARTING IN BUSINESS. Should these lines be read by any one who contemplates engaging in the poultry business, but who has no prac tical experience along that line, let me offer a bit of advioc. It is this: Do not be in a hurry to purchase a poultry piant. Perhaps the story of one man's experience in this direction may appropriately be told here. He was a commercial traveller, whose extended route permitted him to visit his home only once a month. His sev eral visits to poultry plants where the the business is carried on on a large scale convinced him that there was money in it, and during the . ear which followed he spent much time formulating plans for entering the poultry business as a breeder of mar ket and fancy fowl3, which seemed to answer all the requirements he had decided his farm must possess. The purchase of the property was made, the man resigned his place, and moved his family from his city home to the farm. Modern poultry houses and yards were erected and a large num ber of fowls were purchased. It was then that his troubles began. As he knew practically nothing of the feeding- and care of poultry, disease entered the flock, and one misfortune followed another in quick succession, until not more than half -his fowls re mained. He found the greatest diffi culty in securing the services of com petent help. The yield of farm pro duce was small. To make, a long story short the man disposed of his farm at a loss and resumed his posi tion on the road, with some radically changed ideas regarding farming and poultry raising. The moral I am attempting to point is that it is much wiser for the person who contemplates engaging in the? poultry business to lease for a year the quarters which suit him and start in business in a small way. Every trade has to be learned, and it will not do to attend too expensive a school. Harry M. Doty, in New York Tribune Farmer. RAISING GEESE, "creese and ducks are more hardy than the hens and turkeys. After the goslings arc two weeks .old they re quire but little mothering. With geese, as with turkeys, we would hatch most of the eggs under the hens, let- ! ting them have b?t a few each to take I care of, and leaving a fair clutch for j the old goose. If she is past three ' years old she will lay more eggs than I she can cover, if they are taken from the nest each day. We have seen a flock of thirty-six goslings raised from one pair of geese in this way. They j want about one-half their ration as green food, grass, turnip and beet leaves, and roots boiled tender and mashed for them, not too watery, but not thickened wkh grain, makes an ac ceptable and wholesome food for them. When first hatched cracked corn scald- i ed or partly boiled is a good feed for ; them, but too much grain causes leg weakness. The Toulouse geese are said to attain the heaviest weights, j the gander often weighing twenty-five ! pounds and the goose nearly as much. The goose is reported as living until \ more than fifty years old, and prolific' of eggs up to forty years. Next to the Toulouse geese are the Embden, and those who keep them say their gos lings will mature and fit for market earlier than will the Toulouse.-The Cutivator. ? Electricity and Currents. Are electricity and electric currents necessary concepts? In the modern theory they are not necessary and both are misleading. The word "cur rent' must remain, but it is too late BOW to change it. The word "elec- ! tricky" can be thrown overboard at once; it is worse than useless. Fara- j day and the mathematicians of his time had difficulties in understanding each other. Faraday in his mind's eye saw lines of force traversing all space where the mathematicians saw centres j of force acting at a dis-tance. Faraday sav a medium where they saw noth ing but distance. Faraday sought the ! seat of the phenomena in real actions Going on in the medium; they were satisfied that they had found it in the power of action at a distance. Fara- ' day conceived tho space surrounding 1 :he magnet of wire carrying an electric j current to be full of lines of force-a ! conceptiin upon which all his work of j ?lectrical dynamics is founded. Thus j tie was able to make his great discov- j ery of magnetic electric induction, j Siven that electricity was flowing through a wire, it provoked magne- j tism in a neighboring iron body. What j was the converse? By sheer expert-J menting he arrived at the notion of cutting the lines of force In space by a ' wire. This cutting of the invisible : magnetic lines is the essential act nee. ' sssary for induction.-London Electri cal Review. They Mourn in Red. In the dark part of the middle ages red and not black was the favorite mourning color throughout Europe, j Even down to the end of the fifteenth century the change from blood red to black was not complete, though black tdejaks were worn over red clothing, lr. I Abyssinia the mourning color is a reddish brown. In Turkey it is violet, a ?o-or closely allied to red. It is a carious fact that among the Maoris bf ?New Zealand red is the rue of sor- j row. In earlier times mourners rlatibed their bodies with red juices wb'en they followed a chief to his prijive, and even thc resting pla^a nf the bodies were also colored red.

Without intending to do so ASK YOUR DRUGG, Pocket Typewriters. The pocket typewriter is the very latest device to lessen thc task cf newspaper men, detectives, and any and all persons who need to take notes on any subject when the use of pencil and paper would be an incon venience. The invention makes It pos Bible for one to take down a conver sation, a speech, or any remarks that he may choose to record, without oven removing his hands from his pockets. The feature of this unique little word-recorder is its simplicity. Its casing Is of hard rubber, its interior of aluminum. The dimensions of the casing are four by three. In the casing are two little spools, that hold roll3 of tape quite similar to the white paper in the ordinary ticker. By merely pressing four keys on one side of the casing, and by the manipulation of a space key and a number-indicator, anything that the human tongue can utter can be put down in symbols. The inventor asserts that anyono can master the manipulation of the machine within two hours' time, and can within a week become an expert in taking down anything, from speeches to market reports.-Tit-Bits. GoGod Idea. Here is an idea for the farmers of this state: Out in the state of Wash ington the farmers of Walla Walla county are paving the roads with straw. When the fall rains came in that county the roads were impassable, and something had to be done about it, or the farmers must stay at home and wait for dry weather to get to town. Finally a bright fellow thought of cov ering the roads with straw. It was done last year and proved a success. This year it was tried on a more exten sive scale. The farmers of the coun ty all turned out and the roads were covered with straw to the depth of a foot or more. Three hundred miles were covered and the farmers on the line of the straw-paved roads will have easy traveling, while their less fortun ate neighbors are going hub deep in the mud. NO AGENCY IN IT.
