" As you are aware, this is the State of Mas- sachnsctts." “ Yes." “ Have you seen the vital statistics of the state for the past year ?" “ Nd; of course not. The idea of that Jim Noodenhammer sknlking around here after my "â€"â€" “ Wait! According to the statistics this State has 871.240 more females than males. There are 228,890 more marriagable girls than can find hus- bands, to say nothing of182,321 widows anxious for a No.2. The number of young men in the State earning over $15 a week and in the market in only 22,107. There are camped on the trail of these young men exactly 220,000 young w0men and 150,000 widows. Three out of every five children born are girls. Death removes two young men to every married man or old bach- clor." The old man turned pale and grasped a chair for support, and, after a pause, she continued: “ From June to October over 80,000 marriagable young women visit our watering p‘aces, and it is estimated that 31,442 of them catch husbands, thus further reducing the chances of a resi- dent. Fathcr. take this pencil and fig- ure on your Viola’s chances of catching another man if she lets James Nooden- hammer cantor away.” “Great Scott 1” he gasped, figuring for a moment. “ Why, your chances are only one in 21,875,947 1” “ Just as I figured it out myself. What shall I say to him this evening ?” “ Say ! Say l Why, tell him you’ll have him and be mighty glad of the chance, and don't let him draw a long breath before you tell him that the cere- m0ny can take place- right after break- . fast to morrow morning, and that I’m to give you a wedding present of $5,000 in cash l”â€"-Bos!on Post. - Hardening the Brain. While six gentlemen wore waiting at a depot in a small town in Askansas, a ’ colored woman came up and asked if any one was a doctor. One of them ’was, and she rolled her check apron in lrcr hands in a fussy way. and asked if to wouldn’t “jist strp ober to de cabin an' see what oiled her old man." He found that he had time and he said he would go, and two or three of the others went with him. As they drew near the cabin the old woman halted and said, "‘ I’zc bin all do doctnh he’s had, and I'zc willin’ to allow dat I might er made some mistakes. When he was first tooken I gin him turnip seed tea. Was dat right, doctah 7" “ I guess so." “ Later on I changed to a poultioe of wild onions. Was (lat right ?” “ It might have been." “ Den 1 soaked his feet in hot water wid wood ashes in it, and put. a mustard poultice on do back of his neck.” “ Yea." “Don he allowed he felt- wuss, an’ so I changed de mustard to his stomach, .au’ sr akcd his head. He dun complain- ed all de mourning, and now I’zc got mustard on his feet, a poultice on the middle. horse reddish on his neck, an' he‘s t:.kin‘ sassafras tea to warm up do in-idn ” “ Well '3" ‘- Wall. if dcre's been any mistake do -n'r let on to de ole man. Just skip it, ()ilQl'." The doctor went and examined the pa'icnt, found he had a rib broken, and loll lilm what to do for it. As he left lh‘ Cabin the Woman followed him out and reclaimed. “ Fo' do lmwd, doctah, but wl at a blessin' dat you dun come along ! I was dun doctorin' dc ole man fur Softening ob dc brain, an’ if I hadn't cotched you to-day I was dun uwine to try to harden 'em up by mixin' sandi wid his porridge." or. A eoroner‘ jury returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death from exposure. “ What do you mean by that?" asked ’ a relative of the dead man. “ when there i were two bullet holes in his head ?" The coroner replied with a wave of . hismagistcrial hand. “Jurt so. He , died from exposure to bullets."â€"â€"Lon-l don July. Human Food. TEE DAIRY FURNISHES HUMAN BEINGS WITH THE BEST AND CHEAPEST. Prof. Dean of the Guelph dairy school, at the recent meeting of the Western Ontario Dairymen, presented the claim that the dairy furnished the best and cheapest food obtained; that the dollar spent for milk, butter and good cheese, supplied more food nutriment to the system, nnapproached in digestibility and nerve stimulation. There was no Watte to dairy food, while all other foods ranged in waste from 20 to 75 per cent. Then the ration that made a pound of beef in a steer made a pound of the finest cream cheese if led to a cow. One was worth 3% cents, the cheese 12% cents. The cheese was all digested and transferred into human force and strength, while the pound of beef was over 50 per cent water and the balance not nearly all digestible. The plea for dairy food was fortified by charts, show- ing a great variety of foods and their div gestibility and comparisons of cost, and also comparisons of their value with milk products, and the proof seemed conclus- ive that the cow is the producer of the cheapest and best food, and that it should be more largely used than it is in connection with other food supplies. The probability that within five years Canada will be largely interested in win- tcr dairying makes this subject one of great importance, and how to make the winter a close approach to summer is a large problem. Hence, warm barns and summer food for cows calls out the clos- est attention. The “ silo and silage ” is a live topic, and the lecturer tried as best he could to preacnt the subject in its different phases and show that with a warm barn, water in the stables and a big pit of silage a man may succeed in this new departure in dairying. The talk called out the liveliest dis- cussion both as to building and filling, and the feeding as well. Canada is the possessor of thousands of silos already, and wants more. Those who have them spoke in highest terms of their success and their agency in the cheaper produc- tion of winter milk. Prof. Robertson stood ready to back the statement up, ' and told of their new forage or combi- nation of crops that they are using at the Government farm this winter; corn three-fourths, horse beans one-fourth, and sunflower heads one-fourth, cut and mixed into the silo when filling. The object sought is to so fortify the corn with nitrogen that no bran will he need- ed to balance the ration: The result seemed to be satisfactory, the only ques- tion being its adaptation to various in- calities. It is presumed that corn will continue to be the great reliance, and pcase and oats andpclover form the ra- tion largely, as all can grow these in any province or locality. -0 Specimens of Model Farming. Here is a list of vegetables raised by Josiah H. MacFarland upon a piece of ground sixty-two feet square in Middle- town, Delaware County. Three hundred and seventy-five head of cabbage, chen baskets of string beans, sixteen quarts ot’lima beans, three baskets of peas, twelve baskets of tomatoes, ten bushels of potatoes, 200 heads of lettuce, 112 baskets of onions, one-half bushel of onion sets, 300 bushels of radishes, thirty dozen ears of corn, three dozen cucumbers, five dozen peppers, filteen bunches of beets, 2,300 celery stalks. These were sold for $100.98, and Mr. MacFarland estimates that if hehad bought the same in a regular market they would have cost him $167.â€"Pliila- dolphin Times. -0 Test Your Milk. By all means get a tester. There is no way on earth that will spot a shirk in the dairy as quickly and as accurately as a milk tester, and in every herd of cows one finds some that are living on the credit of the other members, eating good food and giving no return. One must use care in taking samples for testing so as to get a fair average of but- ter tat in the sample to be tested. To do this, a cow should be milked thorough- ly. After the milk has all been drawn, have an extra bucket at hand. Empty the milk out of the first pail into the extra one, then out of No. 1 back into No. 2, then again out of No. 2 into No. 1. Now with the pipette take a sample and put it into the test bottle and test at leisure. -. A sheep that goes to market poor will bring but little more than cost of trans- portation. Get sheep fat before selling, or they will bring no profit. A subscriber to the Farm, Stock and Home says he never found a remedy for heaves equal to a compound of eggs, honey and vinegar. He beats three eggs into one quart of pure fruit vine. gar, and after about three days, or when the mixture is well together, he adds one pound of strained honey. In table. spoonful doses it can be given with the feed twice a day, or placed on the tongue of the home.
