Toad Will Drive Away 1UU.
Pierre Loti, the French naval officer-novelist,
makes the statement that
toads are antipathetic to rats. In his
"Letters From Lauds of Exile" he
tells how every night his man placed
at his cabin door a wire cage contain
ing three live tuads, in order to keep
off the rats, which otherwise made
forays on his boots and gloves.
"It is," he save, "a wrinkle I picked
up from some English sailors. The
rats, it seems, seeing the toads, ore
frightened and do not come in,"
According to this, live toads are
more effectual than broken glass or
poison placed in the runways of the
rats. For they generally manage to
remove the one and fail to touch the
other. They circumvent the cat, they
evade the ferret, and a good terrier is
unable to follow them into their holes.
Toads are plenty, and housekeepers
whose cellurs are infested, farmers
whose barns are overrun, will at least
find the remedy worth trying.

Well llalanred Rations.
About the most difficult problem with
which the owner of cows has to con
tend is to obtain s ration that shall be
well-balanced and economical. The
tiso of root crops and fodder is neccs
sary as a part of a well-balanced
ration, aud little trouble is experienced
iu feeding them intelligently. Tho
grain ration is the rock on which most
dairymen split. The following mix
tares have been found to be almost
perfect as well-balauced aud economi
cal when judged from the results of
feeding several herds and the euects
ou them as a whole.
One huudrcd pounds each of corn
lueul and cither wheat bran, mixei
feed or chopped feed, seventy-live
pounds of cotton seed meal or linseed
meal. Mix and feed eight to ten
quarts a day to a thousand-pound aui
uinl. Any of the gluten feeds now on the
market are in themselves well-balanced
rations and should be fed at the rate
of five or six quarts daily.
Fifty pounds each of linseed meal
and cotton need meal mixed with cue
hundred pounds oat feed, or chopped
feed, is a first class ration fed seven
or eight quarts daily.
One hundred pounds of corn meal
and fifty pounds of brau and cottou
seed meal should be mixed and fed at
the rate of seven or eight quarts daily.
Naturally some of the cows will do
better than others on any of these ra
tions, but the average results will be
found satisfactory.
Preserving Cora Fodder.
Allow the corn to stand in the field
until the grain begins to harden and
the bottom leaves are turning yellow.
Secure as much of the fodder as pos
sible while it is green. Cutting must
be doae before frost or the blades will
be brittle and break oJ, caasiag a loss
if tlie bit part of the feed. Place in
'iick$ cf tutliisi titt- They mast
t large enough to staa-1 we'J, but
tzk'd eaough to dry oct thoroughly.
If the corn is on the green order, as
it will always b at the beginning of
tie cutting season, set lip about half
cf the shock, let it staad for several
days, until thoroughly cured, then
cut the remainder. Shocks twelve by
twelve hills are about the best size.
The shocks must remaiu in the field
until the entire plant is thoroughly
dried. Not only must the blades be
well cured, but the stalks must be
free from moisture to insure perfect
keeping in the stack or after shred
ding and storing iu the mow. The
time required will depend upon the
season, but usually five or six weeks
will be sufllcieut. It can then be put
iuto a stack or rick, arranging the
bnudleB or armfuls of fodder as iu
stacking small grain. If left iu the
open field, as is often done, there is
great loss from exposure of the sur
face of the shocks to the weather aud
the occasional "twisting down" of a
shock. Stack where it will be most
convenient in feeding.
llunning the crop through a hunker
aud shredder is the ideal way of tak
ing care of coru fodder. There is
some objection to this method on the
score of the fodder molding in the mow.
If it is thoroughly dried out before it
is shredded thore is little danger from
this source. The practical experience
of many farmers and feeders has
proven this. True, the shredding is
expensive, due to the limited capacity
of the shredders. Improvements are
being made each season, and this ob
jection will be removed before very
long. The fodder is left in splendid
condition, and is readily eaten by all
kinda of stock. American Agricultur
ist. Lack In Careful Grading ol Day.
Iu an admirable paper read before
the meeting of the National Hay As
sociation in Buffalo, N. Y., Mr. E. A.
Dillenbeck, of New York, called atten
tion to the friction which often ocours
between the country buyer and his
city commission merchant, resulting
from tho lack of discrimination in
grades by the iuuu who buys from the
farm. The country buyer in order to
gain favor with his customer, often
pays more than the hay is worth and
then appeals to his commission mer
chant to help him out of his difficulty.
This the commission merchant can sel
dom do and bad feeling resnlts.
The principal defect is in grading,
and many buyers take the timothy sim
ply because it is sound, reasonably
sweet and clean, failing to notice the
color or the ouring which a.re prime
factor, tn hnj gradia. If the leaf is
rusted, it is brown, therefore off color.
When cnt too late it is yellow, seeds
fall out, it is dry, harsh and dark iu
color aud will not pass in the markets.
Timothy cut early and in the best of
conditiou may be badly affected by too
long exposure to the snn or getting
wet during tho harvest. All these
things must b' looked after carefully.
Timothy of tho highest standard ad
mits of part clover in some of tho
higher grades, but when these two
crops are grown together it is almost
impossible to harvest both in the best
conditiou, as the clover ripens first, is
dark in color, aud therefore tends to
lower the grading of the entire crop. It
ia best to grow these crops separately.
Of course the high value of clover hay
for feed is recognized, but most con
sumers want pure timothy, and it is
wise for tho trade to cater to this de
mand. Too much pains cannot bo taken in
grading hay in first bonds. Observa
tion ol this would result iu a much
better understanding bet ween dealers.
After the hay is baled properly, do not
expose it to liht or air by leaving the
doors and windows of the barn open,
ns the color is destroyod. Of course
only the outer portion of the bale is
affected, but this is the part which the
buyer sees aud from which he must
judge.
Pare Water I'or 6lieep.
Generally, clear running water is
the best for the flock, for the complete
exposure of it to the air tends to the
decomposition and the neutralizing of
the suspected organic matter iu it.
There is nothing the matter w ith the
water of a clear, swiftly flowing brook
iu which speckled trout will live.
The water drunk is absorbed direct
ly iuto the blood. Ot course it can
not help but tako iuto the bloj with
it all the impurities that are dissolved
in it, aud many ot those not dissolved,
but BUxpeudod iu it on account of
their exceedingly small bulk. Con
sequently the water must bo pure or it
becomes a source of infection aud pro
duces disease.
Water from saudstone or slate rock
is generally pure aud may bo used
with safety. Where a salt marsh ex
ists, or some natural salt lick, used by
deer aud buffalo wheu these auimaU
covered the plaius, there tho water is
not only good for drink, but has au
excellent effect otherwise iu preserv
ing the general health of the flock.
If food is that which supports the
life of an animal and increases growth
and weight, then water must bo food,
and its coudition is to be thought of
precisely as we think of the solid food.
e think very much of the quality of
tho solid food, but mostly anything is
drink? which is water, whatever its
conditiou may be. This is a mistake
that should be corrected at once.
It is also true that woll water may be
equally injurious. Water from lime
stone, especially if maguesia is mixed
with it, produces various troublesome
diseases, one of which is exceedingly
common. This is thnt swelling ot the
glands of the throat which is known
as goitre. The soft, baggy swelling
may be due to other causes as well,
but it is quite often due to water con
taining too much lime and magnesia.
As the water is of such importance it
ill pav to go to some trouble to pur
ify it it there is any question of its
character. To expose water to the air
has a purify in effect on it. If there
is au exces of a'.kali in it this is neu
tralized au l its injurious effects other-
ise are avoided. So when the
watr i charged with organio matter
it may be filtered through sand in any
convenient way, and will thus be made

Don't think Tour milk is clean be
cause you have strained it. The
strainer only removes the lumps; the
smell remains.
Don't disturb milk white the cream
is rising: anv disturbance will cause
the butter (lobules to sink never to
rise again.
Dou't let milk stand after it is readv
to set for creaming, but set as soou as
possible. Upou rapid and immediate
cooling depeuds the amount of cream
that will rise.
Don't allow milk to stand until it
has become "clabbered." Skim re
gularly aud while the milk is still
sweet, if possible.
Don t mix sour and sweet cream:
keep it separate until all is ripe.
Don't think because vou scald nnd
wash pails, cans and churn, that they
are sweet and clean; they need sun
and air as well as water.
Don't keep cream after it is rioe.
but churn at once.
Don't think vou can tell the exact
temperature of cream by dropping in
vour fiuKer and nuttiuir it to votir
cheek; use a thermometer.
Don t think that three or four de
grees difference in teinperalnre in the
cream will make no difference when
churning.
Don't churn until the butter gathers
in a large lump. Stop when the but
ter is in granules as large as grains of
wueat.
Don't try to work the buttermilk
out.of the butter; wash it out while in
the granular stage.
Don't send it to market wrapped in
parts of cast-off clothing.
Don't think that because you say
yon make good butter your customer
will agree with you; their tastes, not
yours, must decide.
Dou't think you can fool a cow by
feeding short rations; she isn't built
that way.
Don't think that because some men
say so a cow is merely a machine.
She is the most nervous animal of all
animals.
Don't think that a cow is a stranger
to affection or that she will not ap

Don't exercise your cows by sending
the dog to bring them from pasture.
Don't be too aristocratic to associate
with the growing calves. Keep on
friendly terms with them, so they will
need no introduction when they come
to work.
Don't think that because a cow is a
good looker she is a good cow; the
reverse is invariably true. Farm,

Insanity and Drink.
Borne remarkable statements were made
recently before the members of the Hoel
ty for the Study of Inehrloty, at the Brit
Ish Medical Hooiety's ofllee la London. Id
an address upou acquired Insanity la Its
relation to Intemperance In alcohol, Lieu-tunant-Colonol
Surgeon 1'rlnglo said the
question of insanity following excessive
Use of alcohol formed one ot the most Im
portant to the nation at the proseut day,
and it was the duty of the modieal profes
sion to train the public- mind so as to pre
vent people from lapsing Into permauent
insi.nlty through drink. The terrible In
crease ot Insanity appeared to have fallen
over London like an epidemic. Tbo la
roase could not be due to any appreciable
extent to cases beoomlng publicly treated
whloh a few years ago were privately
treated. The cause would have to ba
looked for elsewhere. Where Insanity was
Jlrectly traceable to alcohol, It was not
caused by the moderato, but by the Intern
Jierute use ot the stlmu lant; It was also due
to the civil powers of tho country In allow
ing a maa or woman to continue In the In
temperute Indulgence In alcohol tosuchau
extent as to become a burden to the 8tatn.
The modern mode ol life wns one of suoli
excitement, and anxiety, tbat alcohol was
largely Indulged In to drown care and In
duce oblivion. Intemperance In alcohol
gradually assumed the mastery, and In
these periods of excitement cerebral symp
toms and delusions appeared and often
allured the character of tho case In such a
mnuner as to bring It within the grasp of
the law. The llborty of tho subject la th
matter ot habitual Innbriutes, which en
abled him to exist on the borders ot crim
inality, wns a matter which the public
should be brought to vlow In Its proper
light, fcuch cases would have to bo dealt
with as cases of publlo nuisance, for while
the State eredltod such people with a free
Will, they failed to possess It, and were
practically like the beasts that perish.
Something would have to be done to cheek
the tide ot insanity which was surround
ing London. A factor ta the cause of this
acquired Insanity wns thn adulteration of
the various preparations of alcohol. The
only way to stop tho spread of Insanity
Was by means of compulsory treatment,
and publlo sentimeut would hnve to un

by a well-drosaed but orarv-looking
old woman. Having seen this woman
before, aud probably guessing what

take uo notice of her, but continued
hia walk until obliged to turn home

before him and curtsied. The prince
raised his hat aud tried to pass on,
"1 have a grievance, your royal high

from her handbag a roll of closely
written parchment.
"Aeh, madam, these ia not r.o first

of Wales!" was tho reply in a grull'
voice with a strong (lermau accent.
After Hashing a glance of deepest

"I have the honor to have known all

if my eyesight were not becoming bad

Dancer la l.ll'e In India.
Iudjia ia the only country that makes
deaths by the attacks of serpents aud
wild beasts a feature of its anuual
statistics. That it has good reason
for doing so is shown by tho impres
sive figures of last year's mortality
eleven hundred and thirty-three hun
dred deaths from snake bites and two
hundred and uinety-one people killed
by tigers and other wild animals. Al
though. India is one ot the most
densely populated countries ou the
globe, the increase of huuiau inhabit
ants does not have the effect of de
creasing the.number of wild beasts, as
it docs elsewhere, because the religion
of the natives- or a great proportion
of them forbids them to take the
life, eveu of dangerous beasts and ser
pents; hence they let these destroyers
thrive and multiply iu the midst of
their communities. One of the best
works of the British in India is their
reduction of the number of wild beasts,
and especially tigers, as a result of
their passiou for hunting big game.
