If this paper and its adver- tising space were sold from year to year for less money than it costs to make it. it would not be long until we would have to quit talking with our friends in this department from week to week. These are ideas. says Live Stock Indicator. with which all are familiar, and in which all agree. Never- theless there are a good many people who engage in dairying and who seem to say. or at least to act as though they thought that the business of milk production was somehow an exception to the principles which are recognized as prevailing in other callings. The proportion of cows of the non-paying kind that are used in dairyingis very large. We do not say that there is not growing improvement in this respect. for there is. but still much remains to be desired. \Ve do not ignore the fact either. that the improvement hoped for must be gradual. Dairy cows must be bred and developed in order to do well. and this is a work of time. It is,there} fore. in no complaining vein that we write. but rather with a view of urg- ing persistence in the work of improv- ing dairy herds. No cow should be kept for dairy purposes unless she pays. and still a great many of this kind are kept. The fact is productive of serious in- jury in two directions: One is that it makes the business of dairying unre- munerative to the man who thus per- mits himself to work at a loss, and the other is that it is a positive injury to the business at large 'by increasing the butter production of the country. and thus lowering the market price. If all cows that yielded less than 2300 pounds of butter per year were taken out of the dairy and devoted to other purposes the price of butter would probably in- crease 50 per cent. Of course it is not possible to make this general clearance of indifferent cows. To do so would require the active co-operation of too many persons. and a large proportion of them do not realize how great would be the advantage. both to themselves and to the industry. to make the clear- ance. They think they will get along somehow. and that it is better to get what milk they can from the indiffer~ ent cow than not to attempt to get any. This is not the fact. The cow that I not produce a paying quantity of milk nevertheless has a usefulness of her own. although it. is not in dairy lines. To this usefulness she should be devoted. even though it mean send her to the butcher. Every dairyman should take steps to ascertain just what each cow in his herd is doing. and what. it costs her to do it. If she is not paying her way. and making some profit be- side for her owner. she should not: be kept in the dairy. She should go to the block if need 'be and be replaced as rapidly as possible by something better. It is not easy to buy good cows. be- cause those who have them do not care to sell them. Good dairy herds must. as a rule. be bred for rather than pur- chased. but even though this condi- tion of affairs (requires the dairyman to keep fewer cows than he would like to keep. a small number of which all the individualss will pay a profit. will make more clear money for the dairy- man than twice as many. of which one- half pay a profit and the other half are milked at a loss. The poorer cows are not only eating their own heads off but they are eating up the profits made by the better ones. Every dairyman should adopt as a fundamental princi- ple in his dairy work the idea of hav- ing good cows or none. On no other basis will the work of dairying be found remunerative. Soak in soapsuds made by dissolving a small quantity of hard soap in enough water to cover the harness perfectly. Soak. then use a stiff brush uni care- fully remove every particle of dirt, then rinse thoroughly in lukewarm water. Always dry the harness in a shady place so that the leather will not become stiff and hard. After the water has dried off perfectly. but while the leather is still soft. apply some good harness oil. ‘After a couple of hours. if there be any superfluous oil left that did not penetrate the leather wipe it off or it will become sticky and accumulate dust which will not come off except by scraping. Give the harness 21 good oiling at leaSt once a year. says a writer: Take it apart so that every portion can be cleaned and well oiled. If the harness ls badly soiled. wash before oiling. See that every part of the harness is made strong enough for the heavi- est pulling. If any part is weak have it repaired immediately. (Be very par- ticular to have good strong lines sup- plied with strong snaps which work well. Have the collar well fitted to the horse before commencing heavy work.

Cover the horse with a light blanket after being put into the barn and let the harness remain on for a couple of hours. This will pre- vent it becoming stiff and hard. This treatment may seem cruel to the horse but it is far more cruel to put on the stiff. unyielding harness in the morn- ing and make the horse work in it. When the weather is very warm in summer it will not be necessary or even desirable to blanket the horse. but simply leave the harness on him. until the water has dried off. The harness should never be kept in a damp place, as the hits, buckles, etc, will become rusty. while the leather will mold and rot. .As an example of what good care o£ the harness will do.

A despatch to the London Daily Mail from Kong Kong says it is now lfnown that Admiral Dewey ordered the correspondents at Manila not to give the full story concerning the Interference of the German warship Irene with the insurgents in Subig Bay, for fear of arousing feelings in the United States, which might lead to complications with Germany. The correspondent adds that when the details of the affair transpire it will be seen that the incident was more serious than first appeared. As soon as the American warships appeared at the entrance of Subig Bay, the Irene slipped her cable and steamed out, leavmg her anchor at the bottom. TO DESTROY CUT-\VORMS. One of the surest ways of controlling these pests is by diggingf them out. This sounds discouraging. but it is not so laborious after one has become a little skilful in locating them near the plants. The more agreeable and possi- bly just as effective method is the use of poisoned baits. the aim being to of- fer something deadly to the caterpil- lar. which it will eat in preference to the labor of cutting its own provender. Green clover dipped in Paris green wa- ter and laid in bunches near the plants has been found successful. A bran mash composed of four parts of bran. one and one-half parts of arsenic. one part of sugar. mixed and well moisten- ed with water. is highly recommended. Mr. Sirrine. has found that even dry bran or middlings mixed with Paris green. equal parts by weight in the case of the former. or thirty to one of poison in the flatter. has afforded al- most perfect. protection to the infested fields. Whichever bait is used. it should be distributed near the plants. late in the afternoon or early in the evening. so far as possible, in order to offer the greatest attraction to the cutworms. uSed one pair of leather fly nets for 16 seasons. .

There has recently arrived at the Zoological Gardens in London some living specimens of the Australian lung-fish. a. species first discovered in 1869 by Forster and described by Krefft. The lung-fish has teeth similar to certain fossil teeth of the triassic stra- ta in Europe. The body is long and much flattened from side to side, and covered with large c-ycloid scales; the limbs are shaped like the blade of a paddle. or a trowel, and broadly fringed. 'l'he flesh â€"â€"red. like that of asalmonâ€"is excel- lent eating. and large specimens are said tq attain a length of six. feet and a weight: of about twenty pounds. the apparent disparity between size and weight being probably accounted for by the-tapering off of the body behind the posterior limbs. Their home is in the Burnett and Mary Rivers; and as they were in danger of becoming ex- tinct the Royal Society of Queensland recently resolved to establish them in new habitats. Men and Women wnh Horns Like Boasts. The lung-fish in its natural state eats large quantities of vegetable mat- ter, but. this does not appear. to 'be ne- cessary to it. The lung-fish cannot live on the land, like a true animal. but its lungs are of a, higher type than the gills of’ or- dinary fish, and its heart has three di- visions insteact of two. Viilereuve. a French authority, has been at some pains to collect. many in- stances of men and women who have had. horns. . In the British Museum is the larg- est specimen of a human horn. It is eight inches in length and ornamented the head of a noble Englishman. In the seventeenth century a Mrs. Allen. of Leicestershire, England, had a pair of horns. Another Englishwoman of the same town. known as the beauti- ful Mary Davis, had a. pair of horns, yvhich were regarded as an addition. to To be classed as a millionaire in the United States a. man must be worth :6 leaf. 01.000.000; in England he must II. or 35,“,000; in Gummy. 1.000.000 nub, or 0250.000. her charms.

Lamprey relates he. found in the African territory of Ganim'z sev- eral imposing types of horned men and women. One of these was amajestic- looking negro with two horns, which in his case sprang one from each side of the nose. A Mexican named Rodrigues is described as having a horn on the side of his head about seven inches long, with three branches. There are cases of similar horns be- ing found on dogs. horses and hares.

The Fund Founded by Isaac [molten of lmmlon In 1620. “It is a mistake to think that the servant question is comparatively new," said a man just home from Lon- don. “and nothing that I saw or heard in all England interested me more than the proof that way back in the begin- ning of the seventeenth century maid- servants were, as a class. flighty and unreliable. A fund was established in 1620 to reward maidservants who had been faithful to their mistresses, and. curiously enough, it has attracted very little attention. Isaac Duckett found- ed this fund. He was a prosperous old citizen of London. living in the parish of St. Clement Dame's, and there he died in 1620. The records show that his wife’s chief trouble in life was her dif- ficulties in keeping maidservants in her employ. As soon as Mrs. Duckett would train a ‘neat maid to do her work, the girl would fimd it profitable or convenient to go to some other mistress. Mrs. Duckett's distress was felt by Mr. Iluckett, who was some< thing of a seventeenth century reform- er and philanthropist. For the benefit of posterity, when he died in 1620. he left a sum of money. about £400. to be invested, and according to his will. the income of it was to be awarded to ser- vants who had served their mistresses faithfully. The conditions which Isaac stipulated have been observed care- fully down to the present day. Accord- ing to them, maidservants, to be elig- 1ble, must not be less than 2.5 years of age, and must have lived for seven con- secutive years in the upper portion of the parish of St. Andrew.
