Fall Fresh Cows Best. is a well-known fact that by far a greater number of dairy cows allowed to follow the most na- course, and either by indif- ence or intention, they freshen _ in the spring, writes W. H. Under- Sead . e producer of milk for sale, if has an even trade, may want to have an even number of fresh cows n every month of the year. If the bull is kept confined and service controlled, this can be re- gulated as a rule, although unplea- sant irregularities in breeding will sometimes occur and stubbornly re- sist correction. : But if the prime object is to pro- duce the greatest quantity of milk of the best quality and the great- est profit with any number of cows ithin a year, evidence is over- whelming that the cows should be managed so as to calve during the autumn months. For like reasons, September is the best month in most parts of the country for a heifer to drop her first calf in order best to develop as a cow. This almost regardless of the animal at the first calving. Calves born in the fall are more _ easily reared and make better cows than those born in the spring and summer. It seems needless to re- hearse the stock arguments on the _ subject, based on long experience of successful dairymen, but a brief recapitulation may be useful. The cow or heifer calving in the fall needs the most healthy and nu- tritious pasture just following the strain while coming into full flow. Just at this time, when some falling _ off is likely to occur, the animal fs brought into the stable and receives good care: the winter feeding and the returns from it may be depend- +4 upon to exceed the midsummer - yesults for any like period. At the stage of milking and ges- tation, when another dropping off of the milk yield may be looked for, the fresh pastures induce a fresh cow, lengthen the milking season and increase the year's total pro- duct. December and January are good months in which to control and sup- ervise the service of a bull. Mid- summer and the dog days are a good time for the cow to be dry and preparing to calve again. With fall-fresh cows the greatest and richest product comes at the season when milk and butter are always comparatively high in price. In actual practice four fall-fresh cows have been found equal to five which calved in the spring in twelve months' product and at about four- fifths the cost. Selecting Heifer Calfs. Many dairymen make a practice of raising every heifer calf and fail to get results. Then they select the heifer calves from the best produc- ing cows and get nearer to what they want, but, still, there are many inferior cows raised by them. It is not until we begin carefully _ to examine every heifer calf that we ean conduct any systematic plan of improving the quality of the dairy herds, for, unless the calves are good individuals and have stamina and strong, vigorous constitutions, no matter how liberally they are fed, some will fail to come up to the qualities of their dams. Every heifer calf should be care- fully examined and if they show signs of weakness they should not be raised. Open their mouths and if you find, after examining their teeth, that you can see but four of the milk teeth, you can make up as mind that such a calf is hard- ly worth raising. Many raise their calves, but few turn out to be profitable cows. Next examine the navel and teats. If the teats are not placed in their right position do not waste your time and food trying to make a good cow out of such a calf. When we find a heifer calf that comes up to our standard or re- quirements and when we decide to keep it we must not forget that its value as a cow will depend largely upon the treatment that it receives during the first two years of its life. Calves must be well cared for and fed in such a manner that they will never lose their calf flesh. After they. are a few months old they should be turned out and al- lowed plenty of exercise and good air 60 that they may build up strong muscles and good organs of respir- _ ation. ' NEW SEALS OF ENGLAND. --_-- Represent King George on Throne and On Dreadnought. The most important work under- taken at the British mint last year 'was the preparation of the new reat seal and counter seal of Eng- and. In character the great seal resembles the famous Bretigny seal of Edward the Third (1360-69). King George is represented seat- ed on an elaborately carved and - ganopied throne, wearing his crown and robes and holding in his right hand the sceptre and in his left the orb. Over the throne there is a canopy and on either side a niche, within each of which is a shield bearing the coat of arms of the United Kingdom. Standing beside the niches are two figures, one re- presenting Justice and the other _ Fortitude. In contrast with this elaborate design is that of the counter seal. 'On this the designer has depicted the King in the uniform of an Ad- iral of the Fleet standing on the deck of a dreadnought battleship. mmediately below the royal figure are three lanterns, the emblems of Admiral of the Fleet.

'| Germans Are Now Making It With a Machine. ees away thing, threatens to make the cow itself good for nothing but beef. It is claimed for this synthetic milk that it will serve every pur- pose for which cows' milk is now considered indispensable, and that in many directions it possesses im- portant advantages over its animal rival. The first samples of this synthetic milk will arrive in London soon, and will be subjected to searching tests by the most expert analysts. So far, no thorough analysis of the cowless milk is obtainable, and it is merely stated that it is made solely sub- stances, of which an inexhaustible supply can be obtained. Mr. P. W. Slingsby, who is in- terested in the introduction of syn- thetic milk into England, and whose partner is at present in treaty with the inventor in Germany, outlined to a London Express representative recently some of the claims which are made for the laboratory-made lacteal fluid. "Until we have had our own tests made," he said, "I can only repeat the claims of the inventor, but they are certainly startling enough. "Tt is stated that this synthetic milk has every nourishing property of cows' milk, but contains no trace of animal matter. It is more readi- ly digested than cows' milk, as the fatty constituents are provided in a more assimilable form, and it can be altered in manufacture to suit the particular needs of babies or delicate persons. "Tt is claimed also that the new milk is far purer than any cows' milk as supplied to the consumer, and that it has better keeping pro- perties. It will be possible to sup- ply it in vessels sealed at the time the milk is manufactured, with a consequent maximum of cleanli- ness. "Tt will be possible to manufac- ture synthetic milk at a cost which will compare favorably with that of cows' milk. Its taste, I am told, is very pleasant, and of course it has the one great advantage that there is no risk of it being contaminated with tuberculosis or other disease germs. "Yet another advantage claimed is that any milk left over in manu- facture can be converted into cheese and butter."' It is too early yet to look at the economic possibilities of synthetic milk. One hesitates to think of the dairy farmer's reception of the dis- covery, or of the number of cows that will find themselves in the ranks of the unemployed. Fis FIND GIRL LOST FOR MONTHS. Australians Discover School Teach- er Living With Sheep. Newcastle, Australia, recently celebrated a holiday because of the finding of Frances Lyle Hoscombe, a young English school teacher who has been sought for more than three months. Miss Hoscome went to Australia in early July, when the whole coun- try was in the deadly grip of heat and drought, and went north to Finlay in search of her parents, who had located upon some government land there five years ago. But the heat and drought had driven every- body out of the entire Cape York Peninsula country and from Har- row to Finlay, a distance of fifty- eicht miles, Miss Hoscome went by night. Ten days after she left Harrow her father came up from Victoria, having deserted his great ranch af- ter thousands of his sheep had per- ished before his eyes. Immediately upon his arrival in Newcastle he begged the public to assist him in his search for his daughter. A party was organized, and the whole Finlay, Harrow, Mort, Vickers and Dumludden townships were gone over, but with- out a trace of the girl. Later Miss Hoscome was found at a point on the northern coast of Cape York Peninsula, more than three hundred miles from Newcastle and about two hundred and twenty miles from Harrow, and in point of time just ninety-seven days from her disappearance at Harrow. She was nearly naked, wearing but a rag shawl made of her parasol and a part of her ori- ginal skirt. With Miss Hoscome was a num- ber of sheep, with which she had been during the greater part of the time of her wanderings. She re- lates that upon arriving at the homestead of her parents and find- ing it deserted she knew not which way to turn nor what to do. It ap- pears as if her mind was a blank for several days; at least she does not remember just how sho happened to come to where the few live sheep were, but she thinks it was their bleating that attracted her. ' She kept with them and they with her, all the time going north along the only little watercourse in that region. As they went further north water became more plentiful, and finally it began to rain. During the weary weeks Miss Hoscome lived she knew not how, but found that it was possible for her to exist on grass and shrubs and deep roots. f Pees es All the world's a stage, but it lacks an asbestos drop curtain. Mary, a tactful child of six, who had been taught to be considerate of the feelings of others, was taken to see Mrs. Brown's new baby, 2 pitiful mite. with the pathetic look of all thin babies. The girl gazed at it silently until Mrs. Brown said: "Now, Mary, what do you think of him?' Then the little visi- tor, after some hesitation, replied, with an attempt at a smile: "Well, peed eee Mrs. Brown, I think he's a very re- bye : 'ernments shun such risks GREAT DIVERSITY OF CHAR- ACTER. EXISTS. Pretty, Montenegrins Pugilistic. _ One cannot help wondering dur- ing wartime what the children of the belligerent nations think about it all. How do the panics, the car- nage, the firing of guns appear to their young minds? It is fairly easy to answer this question so far as Montenegro is concerned, for from the earliest age children take the keenest interest in their father's collection of wea- pons and the dozen or so knives, pistols and other knick-knacks he wears in his wide belt. _A Montenegrin would be just as likely to go for a stroll down the village street without his entire "arsenal"? as an Englishman would be likely to walk down Piccadilly without his collar. In Spain I used to watch the chil- dren play, and here the game was invariably bull-fighting, but in Montenegro the only game for babies is war to the death with the Turks, writes the correspondent of a London paper. The Montenegrins are a stern race, and the fathers, though devoted to their children, do not believe in pampering them. In- deed, discipline is strictly main- tained in the home. But I shall not easily forget the face of Prince Mirko, the second: son of King Nicholas, and the idol of the nation, when he told me of the death of his two children. They caught typhoid in Nice and died within a few days of each other. "Have you any children?' asked mé. "None," I replied. "Well, you may thank heaven for that." said he, "for you will never go through the agony I suffered. I verily thought my heart was bro- ken and that I never could be happy again. "As it is, I cannot bear to hear the Riviera mentioned, and wild horses will not drag me to Nice again." he Servian children are like pretty little dolls, with great dark eyes, and wearing long} white shirts under charming brown | suede leather zouave jackets edged with fur. These jackets are most quaint and original, and are decorated with arabesques and devices of gaily colored leathers and pieces of looking-glass sewn in imitation of sprays of flowers. The fur is left on on the reverse side, so that the coats are very warm. I have often wondered on a broiling summer day how they can stand the heat. Their manners are very pleas- ing, and they remind one of nice little puppies or kittens. The Ser- vians have a certain regard for their offspring without any wild de- votion. I. remember slightly "shocking some of my friends out there by my partiality for four-legged crea- tures. I was sitting outside a cafe at Uzhitze feeding a cat with the remains of my dish of Kaimak, the Servian equivalent to Devonshire cream. This extravagance they put up with, but when they saw me tempting a dog with bits of sugar they thought it was time to remon- strate. "Qospozha!'? they exclaimed. "What a strange thing to do! Why, you ought to have put that sugar in your pocket and given it to children on the road."' In Bulgaria one hears of horrible massacres of babes. Only a day or two ago Bul- garians near Rustchuk attacked a harmless Turkish settlement and spared neither women nor children. But the Bulgarians set great store by their, schools, and in these schools racial hatred is encouraged, and even the youngest learns that he will some day have to struggle for mastery with the Serb, the Greek and the Turk. Unlike the babies of other Slav nations, the Bulgarians are not, as a rule, beautiful. They have wooden-looking, flat faces, and are rather Mongolian in type; but they are as hard as nails. Carmen Sylva, of _Roumania, might well be called the Children's Queen. She adores children, and the grief of her life was when her little daughter died. She has never really recovered from: losing her only child, but it has had the effect of making her as good as a mother to all her young subjects. é One of the leading things that strikes a visitor to Roumania is how evervthing is discussed before the children. c~ MANY PRINCES IN FIELD. Balkan Royal Personages Take More Chances Than Others. Never in modern history have so many princes of the blood taken the field as in the present war. It ts quite in keeping with the mediae- valism which still lingers in the Bal- kans that [his should be the case. Modern practice is against the |presence of kings with their troops | in war; too much depends on the chance bullet: In the Russo- Japanese conflict the Russian grand ducal personages engaged took a very minor part in the war. England gave a prince of the blood to the South African War and a soldier's grave. The Duke of Connaught was in the Egyptian War, and the late Duke of Cam- bridge did doughty deeds at Inker- man. Rut the tragedy of the Prince Imnerial has proved a deterrent to roval adventures of this kind. Gov- od -. Very Successful. Eleven cases of diabetes, a dis- | ease which physicians have come to look upon as incurable, have been cured by the use of bacillus bul- < | garicus, a new | according to Bulgarian Babies Plain, Servians : eee De Wak a statement made by Dr. J. Walter Beveridge, New York. : In making the announcement Dr. Beveridge disclaimed any sovereign cure for the disease had been dis- covered, but said he merely was setting forth the results of the work undertaken by a trio of physicians, consisting of himself, Dr. George Llemann, of Bellevue Hospital, and Dr. I, Horowitz. se The three physicians determined to make a test of the bulgaricus culture, which they obtained from Europe. The tried it in eighty cases of diabetes. Of thess one showed four and nine-tenths per cent. of sugar in the blood at the start, and at the end of the third month there was less than one- tenth of one per cent. of sugar shown in the index. Eleven cases were cured absolutely in six months, and sixty showed marked improvement, said Dr. Beveridge. The explanation of the action of the bacillus bulgaricus offered by Dr. Beveridge is that it has formed by a process of fermentation a nas- cent lactic acid, which is a natural cleanser and purifier of the diges- tive tract in conditions such as those which obtain in cases of dia- betes. "This is the first time a bacillus culture has been used successfully in the cure of a disease," said Dr. Beveridge. 'I do not say that it is a sovereign curs for diabetes or any disease, but I do know what we have been able to do with it, and I am convinced that it may open up an entirely new field in medical research and progress. It is one of the most important discoveries in medicine of the present genera- tion." i. GETS NOBEL PRIZE woese Dr. Alexis Carrell, Who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine, may well be called a wizard of the medical world. In his laboratory in the Rockefeller In- stitute for Medical Research he has accomplished wonders with animal life that are analogous to the won- ders performed by Luther Burbank in the field of botany. It is said that Dr. Carrell has taken the heart out of a dog, put dog and heart in cold storage for a week, and then restored the dog to life. He is fa- mous in every part of the world as a surgeon. vk. ENGLISH PEOPLE LIKE TURKS Admire Their Courage and Fighting Qualities. Putting all question of politics to one side there is no doubt that the Turk is very popular with the aver- age Englishman. The old sentiment, surviving from the days of "We don't want to fight, but, by jingo, if we do," is probably responsible for some of this feeling. Added to this is the admiration for the Turk as a "first-class fight- ing man," and more especially for his calm indifference to death and bodily danger. An incident which occurred in the experience of an English officer, told in the London Spectator last week, illustrates this to perfection. The officer, accom- panied by a guard of Turkish sol- diers, somewhere in Turkish terri- tory, went to the edge of a cliff by the sea and began to shoot at a seal. Far below him he saw the head of the seal bobbing up and down in the water as a seal's head will. He had fired a good many times, and the last bullet had gone pretty near the mark, when one of the soldiers with him politely asked, "Do you not think, sir, that you have now fired often enough at Ser- geant Yussuf?" The seal was, in- deed, the sergeant. Presently the sergeant put on his clothes and smiling climbed up the track to the top of the cliff. The officer apologized handsomely, blaming himself freely. But Yus- suf, like his companions, did not seem to think there was much to be concerned about--after all, the mark had been very small, it was natural to fire at it, it was unlikely that the officer would hit it and he (Yussuf) had not minded at all. --__ *__.. Australia's Rabbit Pest. Australia is still suffering from a plague of rabbits. Ceaseless slaugh- ter of the bunnies is effectual only in checking their speed, for they breed so rapidly that extermina- tion seems impossible. Stock rais- ers are wire-netting their proper- ties, digging out the burrows and destroying all surface cover. The government is helping by selling wire netting at a nominal price. In the hot districts they are poisoning the water.

An immense impetus has been given to the prosperity of Austral- la, writes a Melbourne correspon- dent, by the practical way in which the water resources of the country, both above and below ground, have been harnessed for use. The splen- did examples of irrigation furnished by India. and America have been carefully studied, with the result that to-day Australia is from an ir- rigation point of view, one of the most progressive countries: in the world. Of course, what has been done represents only an infinitesi- mal portion of what can be done, but these great enterprises cannot be undertaken all at once, and there are numerous proposals un- der consideration in the leading states, particularly in South Aus- tralia and New South Wales, which, when they are carried out, should bring thousands of moneyed settlers to our shores. New South Wales Led the Way in the matter of irrigation by the establishment of the Wentworth and Hay irrigation trusts of 1892 and 1893, and was closely followed by Victoria, which took over Mil- dura from the Chaffey brothers in 1895. This successful irrigation area, with its 12,000 odd acres un- der cultivation and 36,000 acres supplied with water, has now a population of over 6,000, not count- ing the recent consignment of Am- erican irrigationists, who are said to be delighted with the prospects which it holds out. South Australia has a similar, if a smaller, irriga- tion area at Renmark, where 5,200 acres are under irrigation, and there is a population of 2,000 odd. There are also two irrigation settle- ments in Queensland, where not much in the way of irrigation has yet been done. The chief irrigation area in the commonwealth is, of course, the famous one at Surrenjuck, on the Murrumbidgee, the first subdivision of which, containg 125,000 acres, was thrown open for application be- tween July ist and 6th, further subdivisions will be made in the near future. The present area is to be increased before long to 350,000 acres, and will be subsequently augmented by 1,000,000 acres of dry land, to be worked in conjunction with the area under irrigation. For the ensuing summer, however, only 13,000 acres are to be supplied with water, the remainder to be made available later on. For more than twenty years the irrigation of Murrumbidgee Valley has been before the vublic, but it was not until 1894 that Colonel Home was invited to make iis Memorable Report, which was followed in 1904 by the public works committee--to which all of such works have to be refer- red--investigating the matter and recommending the adoption of the present site. During the succeed- ing eight years the gigantic work has been carried out. One of the largest dams in the world--800 feet long, 160 feet thick at the base and 240 feet above the riverbed--has been thrown across the Murrumbid- gee gorge, which will store a lake of more than 12,000 acres, sufficient to cover 750,000 acres a foot deep. Two hundred miles lower down the river, at Berembed, the diversion wier and works have been placed, with distributing canals to carry the water to each holding, the total cost being estimated at $8,250,000. The holdings, which are let under perpetual lease on a rent fixed at 21% per cent. on the capital value of each block, are of three kinds--50- acre blocks for mixed farming, ten- acre blocks for horticultural pur- poses, and two-acre blocks for the most intense forms of irrigation employed. Only one 50-acre block can be obtained by the same per- son. but a number have been set aside for experienced irrigationists, many of whom are coming from the United States. To every acre of ir- rigable land one water right is at- tached, for which a charge of $1.25 per acre foot is made. Two townships are to be estab- lished on the area designed on mo- dern lines, with parks, reserves, show grounds, all public conven- sences and workmen's blocks. The climate is described as dry and healthy. the temperature ranging between 51.5 and 74.8 Fahrenheit ; the natural drainage is excellent, the rainfall averages sixteen inches and the Soil Is Exceptionally Good. Any person (other than a married woman) of or over sixteen years of age, or two or more such persons jointly, may apply for a block, to work which successfully at least £50 ($250) or £100 ($500) or £300 ($1,500) would be reauired, accord- ing to size. After five years the lessee is given a grant which makes the tenure practically eauivalent to freehold, and it mav then be dis- posed ef in the ord' nary wav. as possible the trust will build houses for them varving in cost from £85 (8495) to £350 ($1,750), and even milking sheds, repayment to be made in ten yearly install- ments, with interest at the rate of five per cent per annum. Tt will even subsoil farms to a depth of eighteen inches, if so desired, con- struct ditches, grade and prepare. an area of not more than ten acres for any class of crop, payment to be spread over a couple of years. In fact, everything is being done to make the Burrenjuck scheme the createst and most successful irriga- tion settlement in the world.

The yacht--it was. a six-ton schooner, and belonged to a Mr. Carsdale--had put out from Mana- kau, New Zealand, on a pleasure trip up the coast. There were six aboard, the owner, his wife, a boy named Squires, who acted as "crew,'? two young girls, and a man friend of the skipper. It is the latter who tells the story in the Wide World Magazine: The Miramar was sailed up through the narrow channel of the Aivitu River, between the boiling} breakers on the bar, where ebbing tide and current meet the heavy Pacific swell. The wind was fair, and the oat went through on tip- toe, and a half-mile up the river. Then the wind suddenly fell flat, the sails slatted idly, and the yacht began to drift with the hurrying tide back toward the reef and the breakers. The word was given to drop an- chor, and young Squires let it go. The chain rattled through the hawse to the very end, and then fell with a splash into the water. Harry Squires, set to chip rust from the eable that morning, had removed the shackle-bar from the ring-bolt, and forgotten to replace it! An- chor and cable were gone forever, and on the breast of a five-knot current the yacht was racing down to the bar! In that tumble of angry water, among jagged rocks and hard stretches of wave-pounded sand, the little Miramar could not live a minute, and some of the party-- perhaps all--would surely lose their lives. : Young Squires alone had his wits about him. He seized a loose end of fishing-line, knotted it round his waist, kicked off his shoes, and went overboard. Inside the reef, a hundred yards above the line of breakers, was moored a channel buoy. It was on the port, perhaps two hundred yards below the drifting Miramar. With a short, choppy stroke, Squires struck out for this buoy. Could he reach it? Would the sag of the dragging line prove too much for him? Already the yacht was abreast of the buoy, and to the ea- ger watchers the swimmer seemed to be flagging--and the white line of the surf was near. Mrs. Cars- dale clung to her husband's neck, and the two girls wept in each oth- er's arms. Then suddenly we saw that Harry had judged his distance well, after all. He was above the buoy, and breasting the current bravely. We saw him turn, shoot down on the current, throw up an arm and grasp the ring of the buoy. As it swung over to his weight, he pulled himself up and sat astride. Hand over hand he hauled in the two-inch rope we had tied to the end of the fish- ing-line, took a half-hitch round the ring-bolt, and waved his hand to us. We were saved, but it was a near thing. As we swung at the end of that line, the boil of water on the bar was hardly fifty yards away. Under our stern the water was smoothing to the curl of the first surf line. We hung there for two hours, "serving"? the swaying line with pocket-handkerchiefs against the chafe of the gunwale. All that time Harry remained astride of the buoy, watching the other end of the rope. Death was only a biscuit-toss away, but the rope held. At last the tide turned, and as we floated up-stream we picked young Squires off his perch. Carsdale wrung his hand ; eyes, and the ladies, weeping also, kissed him. The young scamp! Vil be sworn, he thought more of those kisses than of the sovereign I slip- ped into his palm! he. REINDEER FOR CANADA. ---- Experiment Sussessful in Northern Districts. Shortly before Earl Grey left Canada on his return to England he suggested the establishment of a herd of reindeer in the northern parts of western Canada, Earl Grey had always taken a deep in- terest in the work of Dr. Grenfell on the Labrador coast and in north- ern Newfoundland, mindful of the great boon the reindeer has been to the people there in furnishing transportation, meat and milk. Last year the forestry branch of the De- partment of the Interior at Ottawa purchased fifty reindeer from Dr. Grenfell and shipped them into the Great Slave Lake district. Now that experience has shown that the deer can be shipped with a fair de- gree of success and that the animals adapt themselves to the climatic and other conditions of the remote parts of the north-west, the herd will be increased by other large shipments. There is now no doubt that the reindeer will be a boon to these northern districts. The policy which the United States QGaevernment js following. in Alaska tai4t down in Canada, The plan followed in, Aleska is that any responsible man who wishes to es- tablish a herd of reindeer for him- self may do so by making applica- tion to the Government for as many as he can feed and care for. He is given over twenty or thirty. animals, as the case may be, and at the end of a certain period--three or five years, as agreed upon--he must re- turn the same number to the Gov- ernment, and keep for himself all the surplus stock bred and raised from the herd during the allotted term.--London Globe. me ' When a woman drives a. horse why does she whip him with the lines? es a forty bushels to the acre.
