Sick Cows.
The diary herd should include no
sick animal, and especially none show
ing signs of tuberculosis, contagious
abortion or other trouble associated
with parturition, or with mamtnltls,
mammary abscess or other udder dis
ease, perlstent diarrhoea, actinomy
cosis, fever or any febrile disease.—

Attention to Birds.
Give extra feed and attention to
those birds which you will show, ns
well as to your prospective breeders.
In selecting, a good way is to put in
a yard to themselves every bird you
think may do to show, go over them
carefully with your standard at hand
and cull them down till you have the
ones you will compete wLY.—Farmer’s
Home Journal.
Plague of Flies.
FU.es, more flies, and then some.
There's nothing that makes stock
go lean more quickly than the plague
of flies. It will pay, whenever pos
sible, to keep the cows in dark sta
bles In the middle of the day and al
low them to pasture at night and In
the early morning. Horse stables
should be screened with cheap fly-net
ting, and work and driving horses
proteettd with nets, when In harness.

Co-operative Fertilizer Buying.
The co-opoiatlve farm associations
which have proved so successful In
Rhode Island have gone Into the busi
ness of buying fertilizers for the gard
eners and farmers. The light soli of
Rhode Island requires liberal use of
fertilizer to produce crops, nnd many
use from 1800 to three thousand
pounds to the acre for the production
of such crops as potatoes, asparagus,
cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. Two
of the co-operative societies buy about
six thousand tons of chemicals which
are mixed to order. A popular mix
ture Is 5 percent nitrogen, 8 percent
phosphoric acid and 8 percent potash.
They use nitrate of soda, sulphate of
ammonia, dried blood, acid phosphate
and sulphate of potash.—American
Cultivator.
I ’ Salt and Ashes.
Hogs should have free access to salt
and ashes at all times. Wood ashes
can generally be secured and hogs
tshould have all they will eat. When
mot. convenient to give ashes, char
coal is a good substitute and even soft
coal will be oaten for want of some
thing better. Hogs are never Injured
by eating all the ashes they want, but
fit is not safe to give large amounts
of salt to animals not accustomed to
Its use. The Balt and ashes mixture
should be kept in a low box under
a shed where it will be protected from
rain nnd should consist of about two
quarts of salt for each bushel of ash-
^es. Many feeders prefer to add a few
^ounces of copperas to the mixture.
' Such a muxture will do much to pre
serve the health of hogs, and sows
which have an abundance of such food
rarely eat their young.—Indianapolis

( Barren Cows and Heifers.
1>r. David Roberts, Wisconsin state
veterinarian, says: "All barren cows
and heifers can be made to breed.”
This cart be done he says with little
trouble and expense if given proper at
tentlon. Many a valuable cow and
heifer has been sacrificed or disposed
of for the reason that she was not
made to breed. This may have been
due to a lack of proper knowledge
along this line.
It is very important that a cow, in
order to conceive, be in a reasonable
healthy condition. The genital organs
should be in a condition to perform
their functional duties as nature would
have them. A lack of secretion or an
excess of secretion, renders concep
tion difficult. A lack of ambition or
vigor, or an over amount of either is
an unnatural condition of the genital
organs.
A cow before breeding should be
carefully noticed to make sure that,
there is no unnatural discharge from
the vulva. An unnatural discharge
would be a discharge of mucous that
has every appearance of the white of
an egg and at the period of heat usu
ally contains a little blood.
For Droopy Poultry.
A correspondent of Successful Farm
ing says: “Save all the strong bacon
greases, especially the grease from
fried bacon. When your fowls sit
around picking themselves and look
ing droopy and shabby, get a large,
deep enn or bucket; from its shape
a large candy bucket Is best; fill It
nearly full of warm water; on this
l>our melted grease until it forms a
thick scum over the water; catch your
fowls; take them one by one, by
their wings, and with the head held
straight up, dip them down pretty
hard, two or three times into the wa
ter; let the head go completely un
der once; do this quickly to avoid
strangling the fowl; then turn It loose.
“After waiting a few hours for the
wnter to drip from the feathers, drlvo
them into the shade, so the sun will
not blister them. For a short time they
will be a sorry looking set of fowls.
"This treatment causes the feathers
to fall apart, so the body of the fowl
Is cool; the water softens the skin;
the grease-laden feathers fall out easi
ly, and the r.ew ones push their way
through the skin and grow in masses
instead of one or two in a place; the
time of moulting is shortened; the
fatty grease kills all vermin on the
fowl, while the grease-saturated feath
ers are death-traps to any vermin that
may get on them.
“Keep the bucket filled with water
and pour more grease on the water
from time to time.
“The fowls should be dipped early
In the morningi and made to roost un
der shelter for several nights.
“By dipping fowls in the early fall,
they become healthy and free from
pests, hence stand the winter better,
and in the sprlnk have little or no
vermin to annoy them and get on and
kill the.fr little ones.
“Seven to eight hundred chickens,
from two to three hundred turkeys,
as well as hundreds of other fowls,
were hatched every spring on my fath
er’s farm In Missouri and Texas, and
treated thus, and few were lost. This
treatment with flour and sulphur
mixed In the banks of ashes where
they took their dust baths, plenty of
food and pure water was about all the
care they required.”

In feeding either sweet or sour milk
be sure the poultry troughs are clean.
Turkeys should not be allowed to
roost in the poultry house with chick

Since beef advanced in price it is
more profitable to feed steers than it
used to be.
Plenty of sunlight is essential in

Probably the value of hens for de

Sheep manure is worth about three

SMOKIN3 AND SPEECH.
Smoking in Moderation Does Not
Harm the Voice.
The thankB of thousands of tobacco
consumers will go out to Sir Charles
Santley for his statements respecting
the effects of smoking on the voice.
It has always been one of the argu
ments of those who have tried to dis
suade us from the habit of smoking
that pipes, cigars and cigarettes in
jured the voice. But on this subject
Sir Charles, who may surely be con
sidered an authority, writes that he
found smoking in moderation made
his voice clear and that he has never
known more than two or three differ
ent Bingers who did not smoke. The
only drawback to this statement is
that it will tend to Increase the num
ber of men who try to sing. Hitherto
these have had a notion that they
must choose either tobacco or singing
and leave the other alone, and they
have chosen the former. Now that it
has been pronounced possible to com
bine the two they will come out of
their lairs and start in on “Nancy
Lee,” or “The Wolf.” It must be re
membered, however, that it Is only
moderate smoking which has no
harmful effect on the voice. There is
no doubt at all that to smoke exces
sively is to injure one’s chances of
singing well. The voice, as a matter
of fact, is one of the best possible
tests of moderation in smoking. When
we find that our voice is losing that
clear bell-like note which so delights
our neighbors and is taking on a
roopiness suggesting a rather unheal
thy fowl then we can be sure that we
have smoked too much.—Ixmdon
Globe.
Pack Fruit Honestly.
If you have a tree of small apples
that seem worthless for household use
or selling, pack them away in the cel
lar until spring. They may prove bet
ter keepers than your choicest apples,
and quite a treat after they are gone.
At least the chickens will repay you
for their gathering by an increase in
the egg supply. For you know green
food is a necessity to laying hens.
Watch for the tent of the fall web
worm.' If It is deserted through the
day the tenants will likely be back at
Dight and can be destroyed. These
webs are unsightly, besides harboring
the leaf-devouring worm by the bun

Pigs in the orchard are a good thing
to get rid of the wormy apples, pro
■vlding they do not incline to root too
deep. There is all the difference in

persist, in going into the soil so deep
Highest Priced Shetland Ponies.
The Shetland pony trade has some
what deteriorated of late years. In by
gone days a crofter could count upon
getting from £6 to £8 for a horse
foal, but now these animals are prac-
ticaily unsaleable unless they are
"pedigreed.”
The Shetland pony is celebrated in
every country, and i3 much superior in
symmetry of form, fleetness and sa
gacity to the same class of animals in
Norway, the Faroe Islands and Ice
land. Ponies coming from the islands
of Unst and Fetlar are considered the
finest and usually bring the highest
prices. Those of the latter island are
a cross between the genuine “sheltie”
and the Arabian horse. They are beau
tiful little animals, but wild and dif
ficult to train.—World’s Work.
Peril of a New Dance.
“If the young people allow this barn
dance craze to grow,” remarked a well
known local architect, “buildings here
will have to be erected much more
substantially than heretofore—that is,
all buildings such as private homes
or clubs where dancing is carried on.
There is a jump and a swing about
barn dances that will cause swaying
of the beams in even the most sub
stantial frame houses.
“With a whole crowd on the floor
at opce and skipping up and down on
the floor right together, with the music
you can Imagine what might happen.
You know how necessary it is some
times for a. company of soldiers to
break step when crossing a bridge.
If this dance continues popular it may
be necessaiy for some of the dancers
to keep out of step with the music. I
know of one dance out at the Colonial
club lest season at which the barn
dance numbers had to be stopped, the
buildings swayed so noticeably.”—

Diamonds May Explode.
A curious fact about diamonds Is
that it is not uncommon for the crys
tals to explode as soon as they are
brought up from the mine. Some
times they have burst in the pockets
or the warm hands of miners, due to
the effect of increased temperature.
Large stones are more likely to do
this than small ones. Valuable stones
have been destroyed In this way.

In the recesses of Mount Pindus
there lives a race of nomads who
claim descent from the soldiers of Ha
drian. Because they speak a I^atln
language like Roumanian, their neigh
bors call them Vlachs (Wnllachs).
They arc a slight, graceful people, and
in youth, before hardship and oppres
slon have marked them, beautiful with
the rare spiritual beauty which haunt
ed Pre-raphaelite painters. Their vil
lages are placed high up on the re
mote passes and shoulders of the hills.
The women live there In seclusion all
the year round, unseen by strangers;
liut the men and boys stay with them
during the winter only, and In summer
leave their homes to wander through
the valleys with their goats, sleeping
among the rocks. When the snow
melts nnd spring begins, they appear
guiding their flocks down the dry riv
er beds to browse upon the under
brush, or resting in the shade of the
plane trees while they beguile the long
heat of the day with warbling solilo
quies upon rough pipes made of stems
of oleander. Their dress is all of thin
white linen, white leggings and fusta-
polla, white shirt and fez; and when a
group of the tall figures Is seen out
lined against the blue sky upon some
overhanging rock, these ghostly
clothes and their sensitive faces and
great lustrous eyes make them look so
like lost nivgels Imprisoned In this
burnt-up land that there would he no
surprise In seeing them spread lrredes-
cent wings and dart circling up Into
the air. Their ethereal aspect and
shy, melancholy habits give them, In
the eyes of the Turks, an almost sa
cred position; and for the same char
acteristics the Greeks treat them as
harmless Imbeciles. Both nations ac
cordingly allow them the- privileges of
obscurity, and employ them as car
riers to pass to and fro across the de
batable land of the border, near which
no Greek or Turk would dare to ven
ture.
At the M’ctec.ra Monasteries that
traveler says good-by to his Greek
guards, and thence to Yanina he rides
in company with a band of them, their
white figures flitting around him as
the way winds into a wilderness of
sunlit valleys and brown mountain
domes, their musical voice calling to
hidden friends, who answer from above
the hillside. The Vlachs are great
lovers-of antiphonal song. Their sig
nal-shouts have traditional forms
which distinguish family from family,
so that when the answering call is
heard to complete the phrase which
the signaler has begun, it is known
that a friend is near. Sometimes the
whole escort catch up the strain and
continue It through a part of the long
ballad whl-ch Is the epic of their ances
tors. The story is always about love
and war. Bach voice takes the part
of some character; the lover and his
lady, the wicked Turkish Bey, the cru
el Klepht or Arnaut, the heroic Vlach
leader. Perhaps a distant goatherd
or passing muleteer joins in the quav
ering nasal chant, singing in rivalry
the exploits of his own relations.
Once at a place where a cool stream
swirled under the hollow of a cliff a
Vlach boy scrambled out of the water,
and, throking his sheepskin around
him, trotted alongside for a mile or
two, chatting to an acquaintance. Dur
ing the midday halt, these two sang to
gether a long song, rising and falling
interminably in the minor cadences
which sound so strange- to Western
ears. It was the tragedy of two
friends parted by death. “Five years,
they sang, “five years we walked to
gether. All winter long the same roof
covered us. All summer long we slept
under the same stars. Five years our
enemies beset us in vain" the tenor
voice stopped, and the treble descend
ed in a wail of hopeless sorrow—“but
now, now I walk alone."
The route from Meteora to Yanina
runs up the Greek river Alpheus to the
frontier on a high pass, and thence in
to Turkish Epirus down deep gorges
cut by the head-waters of Acheron
through these defiles All, the leonine
tyrant of Yanina, once made a military
road, and paved it with broad flag
stones, and built bridge-s for the pas
sage of his cannon. Now the paving
is broken by earthquakes, and the can
non wheels, and the Turks out of pol
icy have blown up the middle span of
all his bridges. But the ruins of the
great road remain to suggest the his
tory of this country; how, by miracles
cruelty and valor, Ali united Albania
and threw off the yoke of the Sultan;
how, by his personal force, he reigned
forty years at Yanina, allying himself
with Danton and Napoleon and Pitt;
how in his schools he educated the
Greeks, and thus, and by the blow he
dealt to Turkish influence, set afoot
the Gfreek war of independence; and
of water fowl, which stream and drift
o(T clamoring toward the coming twi
light, a dove-gray cloud flashing with
gleams of white and scarlet in the lev
el rays of the sun. And when the boat
reaches the end of the canal, and the
reeds are left behind, Yanina Is seen
for the first time, far oft across the
lake.
A long peninsula projects from the
opposite shore. Upon Its extreme end
a circle of fortifications rises from
the water’B edge, and above their
square outlines the domes and minar
ets of a number of large mosques
gleam in brilliant relief against the
hills behind. The lake shines below
them with lights as pure and clear as
those of the sunset sky above. Its
waters hold In suspension nutnberl ♦ s
small crystals of olivine, which nre
washed down from the serpentine
rock of the mountain; and where the
direct rays are reflected from the sur
face they become affected by inter
ference In the tiny particles, producing
opal halos and zones of delicate pris
matic tints. Thus the sky seems to
surround the buildings with a univer
sal glow of liquid radiance. The dark
band of the shore behind stretches
across them like a layer of heavy
clouds hanging in mid-air, and the
towers and walls stand only upon tre
mulous reflections of themselves. The
city floats in the sky, as If supported
by a spell; and above It, and again be
hind it, the eye is caught and carried
forward by the sunset light Itself.
From beryl to c merald, the sky glows
with changing shades of green, ever
deepening and growing more luminous
toward the Western horizon. At a
great height a Hock of little clouds
still catches the light and reflects It
downward. Where this feeble Illumi
nation touches the earth it reveals, is
olated In the haze of distance, a region
of desolate ranges, the higher peaks of
which are disclosed rising from the
mists which hide the fastnesses of
northern Albania. They stand isolat
ed in the haze of distance, distinguish
ed only by a clearer definition in the
play of light and shade upon their
sides from the sea of shining air and
vapor which surrounds them.
Ae the rim of the sun sinks out of
sight a high thin cry comes vibrating
across the water from the town, the
last summons of the Muezzin, softened
by distance to a single repeated syl
lable, “ ’lah, lah, ’lah.” The voice
swells and sinks, quavering in the
same minor cadences and with the
same nasal tones that wore heard in
the song of the Vlachs. Like their
song. It has a mournful sound; but
there is in it also a quality of fierce
enthusiasm, half suggested under its
calm note of triumph and security.
The traveler seems to hear in it the
voice of Yanina Itself, telling him the
secret of its mystery and charm; that
before him lies the first outpost of
Asia in Europe; that he is rowing
from the Western into the Eastern
world.—London Spectator.
