CROSS BREEDING. An lowa Farmer Tell» Some Inter esting; Experiences. The question is often asked, "Does cross breeding weaken or strengthen our stock?" Some think that the cross breeding of swine is one cause of swine diseases, such as cholera, thumps, etc., writes John 11. Cufl of lowa in The Prairie Farmer. Others think that cross breeding has a tendency to de stroy the size of the offspring. I am not as old as some who give their ex perience on such subjects, neither have I made farming my business from boy hood, but from my personal experience and knowledge I And In raanv cases mat cross breeding strengthens not on ly in regard to health, but in general endurance. The mule is by far the su- J perior of the horse when it comes to hardiness, strength and stamina. I have never owned a bunch of pure bred Logs of any of the many breeds, and yet I have owned and cared for hogs for 40 years, and I have never had a case of hog cholera and frequently had a herd of 75 or lih> on the place ! while cholera was raging all around. I do not mean, however, t<> advance cross breeding as a preventive of swine ; plugue. I attribute my escape to the fact tluf salt. Stir together until thoroughly dissolved, then thicken with flour. Pry on a hot griddle with plenty of good sweet lard, and they will be light, ten der and delicious. The batter should be so thick that it will not froth and boil when dropped on the griddle, but not too thick to spread out of itself into thin cakes. When mixed, try a little; if too thick, thin with sweet milk.

DIAMOND DIGEST TABLETS Do Destroy Dyspepsia and restore tha bowels and liver to perfectly natural action promptly, or money refunded by any drug gist. Gentlemen:— l have been taking your DIAMOND DIOEST TABLETS for two months past and am practically a veil man for the first time in 10 years. Everything I ate dis tressed me, more or less, and I was all run down from lack of proper nourishment. 1 am eating everything that comes my way now, without the slightest inconvenience. Two tablets after a hearty meal and one after a light meal seem to thoroughly di gest everything, and I am dally gaining flesh. My daughter commenced taking them about two weeks ago for constipation, and while they do not act as quickly as tome powerful cathartic, they are positive, and much more satisfactory, because they do not gripe or distress her In any way, and the relief seems to be of a permanent nature. All other medicines have left her in worse condition after taking than before. D. V. BERCTELN, 27 Boyd Ave., Jersey City.

"ENGLISH DAIRYING. SPECIALIZATION OF DAIRY BREEDS IN GREAT BRITAIN. Development ot tl»<» Milk Business %'t»nr l.nrKe Cities—Shorthorns anil lied Poll* a* l>ual Purpose Breeds. Stat us of Dcvoiis. The fact that two breeds, the Short horn and the lied I 'oil, and perhaps we might add another, the Devon, possess j she dual purposes of milk and beef j indicates that it is quite possible to ! i mbine the two, though no one would i ndvise the attempt to make the Jersey I into a beef I reed, or the Galloway or i Highlander Into a milk breed, says the j London Live Stock Journal. There is, j however, a limit to the specialization of tin breeds, which seems to be fixed ! by nature. I nder domestication no cow ' can be healthy in which the lacteal | properties are entirely neglected. She i should at the very least he able to rear i her calf, and to rear it well. A little SHORTHORN MILKER, more attention to this point among some of the beef breeds would be high ly advantageous—there is indeed a dis tinct tendency in this direction among the owners of several of the leading herds of beef cattle. On the other hand, the dairy form can very easily be carried to an extreme, and result In a narrowness of chest that fails to af ford room for the healthy play of the luncs. This defect, too. Is beiiiir stead ily remedied. Thus there is a perma nent check to carrying the cultivation of good properties to an extreme. The ordinary farmer will be guid.-d by his own requirements in the variety which he selects, and also in the type of that variety, or lie may find it preferable to have a cross bred combining the merits of several breeds in order to meet his own special needs. The requirements of trade cause con stant changes that are very rapidly met by farmers and breeders. One of the most important of these in recent years has resulted from the increased demand for new milk As the result of the decline in the value of wheat, which has led to a great curtailment of the area under that crop, thousands of farmers were comix lied to cast about for a new source of revenue, and many found it in supplying the large towns with fresh milk, ar.d in this they were facilitated by the extension of the railway system, which permitted the carriage of milk from long distances. That the demand for milk lias vastly Increased in towus admits, we think, of no reasonable doubt,- though exact statistics are difficult to obtain. The change resulted in many co»v sheds in towns being closed, and the farm ers who took up this branch of trade, in which the home producer up to the present has a practical monopoly, nec essarily changed the character of their herds by developing the milking prop erties of the cows. This has been done, and so the most widely culti vated variety today is the general or dual purpose animal of Shorthorn type, aud no better description could be found. Still, it would be well if some Improvement were made without de parting far from the general type. No doubt the sale of milk is the main consideration, and the cow pays her way from this source, with the added value of her carcass. But if a bull of better class aud breeding were ufced the herd would gradually be improved. The cows would bring a better price when fed off. aud the calves would be more valuable. A large number of them would be reared, and in this way there would be effected a much needed improvement iu the general store stock of the country. All this could be se cured without any deterioration of the milking properties. Of course the same type of cow pro duces much of the butter that is used In the country, and it is a mistake to , think that because a large quantity of i butter is imported for populous cen ters there is not also a considerable . amount made at home. An extension i of butter production iu this country is ! perhaps unlikely unless the factory or ' creamery system could be extended, J and this seems to be more adapted to , the treatment of exportable surpluses • collected from innumerable small bold ' ings than to the circumstances of Eng j land, where farms are generally of ; greater extent, and internal markets . can be peached close at hand. Still it ' would be an advantage if the system I could be extended in suitable districts. The advocates of the Jersey and Guern t scy breeds prove conclusively that r these give the best results where high ' class butt< r of home manufacture can r be vended at a paying price, and this a private tr; i!e could prob'.bly be fur t ther developed Even ere the but r ter breeds are not wholly adopted many iwners of milking herds find it an ad I vantage t » have a few of them to en rich the uiilk «I 1 WOMAN'S WORLD.

It con sists in dipping the plates alternately ; in acidulated water and a dilute solu- j tion of pyridin, which is a complex | chemical substance derived syntheti cally from coal tar residues. In the pyridin solution is a small quantity of alcohol, and it is asserted that the com bination of all the agencies concerned results in greatly strengthening the plate mechanically and also by highly oxidizing the plate in making it of considerably higher capacity than it j would be without this treatment. Recently Dr. W. Freudenthal of New 1 York read an interesting paper before the American Electro Therapeutic as sociation 011 the subject of the value of electric light in the treatment of tu berculosis of the throat and lungs. Sunlight and electric light, he said, have the same effect upon the system, and it has been proved by thousands of cases already treated that the bene ficial result of treatment by electric light is due to the action of those rays which approximate most closely to sun light, the blue and the ultra violet rays of the arc light. A remarkable instance of a battery I of accumulators working under water was recently given at the municipal electric plant in Munich. The station Is situated on an island iu the Isar, and during a flood the water covered tho batteries. According to The Scientific American, one of the batteries which ran the car lines was completely cut out, and It was thought that the other, i which furnished light, would have toi be treated in the same way. The fly wheels of the engines were half in the water. Nevertheless as it was almost indispensable to light at least the prin cipal streets of the city It was decided to try to operate the submerged bat tery. The attempt was successful, and the battery which had been construct ed to give 0,000 ampere hours with a 600 ampere discharge was able to fur nish 4,000 ampere hours during the night. The remainder was lost in dis charges in the water. To Make One Grow. The Chicago Record says a French physician claims to have found a new drug which will add to the human , stature. It is a simple decoction of cereals, which are boiled three hours. Tho liquid is strained, sugared and drunk while fresh. Dr. Springer states that his experiments with the drug on animals and children indicated such a control over their growth that he could even make giants of those whose or ganization was especially favorable. It la a point already well established that by feeding a child with quantities of very moist food he will be gigantic in stature as compared with a child nour ished on dried, smoked, spiced, astrin gent or tonic food administered spar ingly. The inhabitants of the north of Europe drink much tea, beer and milk, which, together with the influence of their moderately cool and moist cli mate, favors the growth of their bodies. In southern Europe, where dry and spiced food is used, together with spir ituous liquors, bodies, though more sprightly, are generally shorter. Of all foods cereals are those that contain most soluble phosphates, which serve as nutrients to the bones. while relying on cereals to promote growth, prescribes also systematic gymnastics for exciting and regulating assimilation, for if the bony structure be too rapidly or prematurely develop ed the body will become stiff and un manageable, and instead of growth dwarfing will ensue. He also uses at the same time electric discharges, espe cially at the knee joint, with continual examination by the X ray, to observe the progress of the method. If in spite of all this there is a steppage of the growth, fresh thyroid gland of calf or sheep is adininstered. Dr. Springer in sists above everything that people who wish to make the most of their growth must abstain from alcohol. Arrest of development is particularly noticeable in districts given over to alcoholism. Iu France there are whole villages un able to furnish a single recruit to the army because for this reason the inhab itants are ail uuderslzed. Apples on HlKb Uround.

In button shape they appear on little bole ros worn over silk or lace waists and also on outside jackets of fur and vol vet.

An Old "t'linlr Warmer" Says That i Wult'hliiK Men as They ( TOMN tlie j I.OIIIIJ of a Fashionable Hotel Is u Cireiit Study of Iliimun Mature. "You can tell with probable certainty j a man's character, disposition and sta tion in life when you see him cross a ho- j tel lobby," said .tii old lobby lounger the j other day as he sat down in a chair in j one of the big hotels. "Did you ever sit and watch the people ' I pass? it's an interesting study in human j | character and the result of human expe- j rience. Pride, timidity, assurance, weak- | ness, concentration—all walk before you. j ' They say that these things can be told ! by a man's manner of walking on the ! street or anywhere else, but start him over the marble corridor and see how all his traits are emphasized and accentu ated." I Just then two buds of manhood entered 1 j the lobby where the lounger sat. They i wore high white collars. Tht'.v walked j hard and laughed loud. One of them ' stopped at the cigar stand to light a eiga- ! ' rette and called to his comrade to wait, j I Then they deliberately walked directly j j toward the bar. They did not try to con- | ! ceal the fact that they were going toward the hotel's barroom. They did it openly, j They even advertised it. Probably they , were going to get a very wicked drink. "Do you know," mused the lounger, "that there is a certain atmosphere that can he found only in first class hotels? It is an atmosphere of what might be 1 nalh'ii snfirtf wotitilitv It mnkes men j feel ill it" ease unless their clothes are j good. To enter the lobby of a fashion- I able hotel causes some men to talk in 1 j words and on subjects that are unusual j I to them —to put on airs, as it were. Men \ never hesitate to say: " 'I was in the hotel, you know, • when I met So-and-so, and he told me,' etc. "Those two young gentlemen that you ; just saw enter the bar feel all this. They feel that they would acquire a certain position in tiie social scale by appearing to be at home in this lobby. But their j noisy manner makes it apparent that they ; wish to advertise their presence, and thus 1 they destroy the impression which they 1 try to create. I"To cross a hotel lobby is something of 1 an event to a man who isn't used to it," | j continued the lounger, "and that is why j personal characteristics stick out nil tlie , : stronger when he docs. Now, the gentle ! man who is proud of his looks is sure to ! ! give a free exhibition of himself as he 1 walks across the smooth floor.

He is nshamed to be mak- j ing himself so prominent. If you speak to this man afterward, you will find that j i his voice is mild and his manner self de preciative. | "After all," continued (he "chair board ; er," "the most interesting sight is that of I a man whose feet are at home on grass ! or plowed ground making a voyage over ; the marble floor of the hotel lobby.
