The Massachusetts Legislature last year authorized savings banks un- der proper restrictions to enter the life insurance business, and the first bank to take advantage of the law is that of which ex-Governor Douglas is President. The legislation was urged both by organized labor and by the representatives of capital, and much is expected of the new idea. At a time when various banking and insurance reforms are under discus- sion, it is interesting to note what the Massachusetts law provides. The act permits banks to establish insurance departments for the bene- fit of depositors, to issue policies for not more than $500, and to make an- nuity contracts not to exceed $200. There are to be no agents nor col- lectors, and any profits to be divided among annuitants and policyholders. . The banks undertaking this line of bus- | iness, furnish proper guarantees, and | the State assumes general supervi- sion. Warblers and Caterpillars. The enormous number of insects that breeding warblers must secure | to feed their young may be inferred from the fact that each young bird requires fully half its cwn weight of insects each day. As the young are fed very largely on caterpillars, and as they, are reared at a time when these insects are most plentiful, there is no doubt regarding the restraining influence exerted upon the increase of such insect life throughout the North Temperate zone by a family of birds so abundant and widely distributed as the warblers. BRAIN POWER Increased by Proper Feeding. A lady writer who not only has done good literary work, but reared a family, found in Grape-Nuts the ideal food for brain work and to de- velop healthy children. She writes: — “I am an enthusiastic proclaimer of Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. I formerly had no appetite in the morn- ing and for 8 years while nursing my four children, had insufficient nourishment for (hem. ‘“Uuable to eat breakfast I felt faint later, and would go to the pan- try and eat cold chops, sausage, cookies, doughnuts or anything I hap- pened to find. Being a writer, at times my head felt heavy and my brain asleep. . “When I read of Grape-Nuts I began eating it every morning, also gave it to the children, including my 10 months’ old baby, who soan grew as fat as a little pig, good fatured and contented. “Within a week I had plenty of breast milk, and felt stronger within two weeks. I wrote evenings and feeling the néed of sustained brain power, began eating a small saucer of Grape-Nuts with milk instead of my usual indigestible hot pudding, pie, or cake for dessert at night. ‘““Grape-Nuts did wonders for me and I learned to like it. I did not mind my housework or mother's eares, for I felt strong and full of ‘go.” 1 grew plump, nerves strong, and when I wrote my brain was active and clear; indeed, the dull head pain never returned.” ““There’s a Reason.” Name given by Pestum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Collins, in co-opera- tion with the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture, appears to have some promising characteristics. The object in view has been to develop a ‘first-class carriage horse that has plenty of “go” combined with great powers of endurance. Lime For a Disinfectant, When lime is used as a disinfect- ing whitewash, be sure that it is “live,” as gcod results cannot be secured with that which has been air-slacked. Whitewash made with good lime will kill* all Vermin that it touches, while air-slaked lime whitewash {is about as effective as that much clear water. Care should be exercised to keep the whitewash from the legs of the fowls, as it will cauge the skin to become inflamed and sore. The eyes, combs and wat- tles will also suffer.—N. W. Agri- culturist. — New British - Cattle Regulation. Consul Edward B. Walker, of Bur- slem, England, writes that under -an order of the Board of Agriculture January 1, 1908, no horse, ass or mule brought to’ Great Britain, from any other country, except Ireland, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man, is to be landed in Great Britain unless accompanied by a certificate of a veterinary surgeon to the effect that he examined the animal imme- diately before it was embarked, or while it was on board the vessel, and that he found the animal did not show symptoms of danders or farcy. —American Cultivator. Good Soil, Good Crops. The fact that there is an occasional field of corn in almost every section, which ripened up thoroughly, would lead us to believe that, after all, the condition of the soil or method of cultivation may have had something corn crop. Every corn plant must form root, stalk and leaves before it is ready to elaborate the grain. So it is reasonable that if either condi- tion of soil or method of culture hin- ders or retards growth, the process of ripening must be delayed. Rich sod ground in many instances pro- cured sounder corn this past season than old ground, and while this is contrary to usual results, it seemed to have worked out that way this sea- son. The seed was slow to germinate, and it made slow growth. The corn became stunted early and it was not able to overcome the setback. So it has turned out that many poor fields and Fisheries; which came into force’ to do with the uneven outcome of the | comes through the purebred dairy sire, but much can be accomplished without waiting for a new breed to grow up. I have found the best plan is to study the requirements of the milk animals I have. Give them first-class feed and care =nd they will readily prove themselves cap- able of producing a profit. A man who cannot improve the yielding ability of a herd of common cows is only likely to make a failure of blood- ed stock. There are many gems among SoO- called ‘‘common cows,” but their good qualities are never brought out and they run their unprofitable course because their owners are careless men. Observe every animal in the ‘herd with a critical eye. Offer her extra feed and see if she will eat it; if she eats it up clean and gives a profit, give her more. Provide all the pure water-she will drink. Look to her bedding and comfort in the stable, and see that she does not have to stand in a bleak barnyard or exposed to cold storms.—R. B. Rushing, in the Indiana Farmer. Ration For Sheep. As to the most desirable kinds of feed to be used for a .grain ration, variety is the best. We know this from our own experience, as we soon tire of a sameness of ciet; it is also true of our farm animals. When a variety is supplied, more food is con- sumed and the better the aigestion. I have found, says a farmer in writ- ing tc ‘Farmers’ Review, that an equal amount of crushed corn, oats, wheat, bran and oil cake best suits the taste and requirements of the lambs and gives good results as to the growth and gain in flesh and fat; the latter quality is especially de- manded in the early market .lamb. I would then increase the crushed corn to the limit that it would be rel- ished, for a fat lamb is far preferable to a lean one of much larger size. But where the lambs are to be car- ried through the summer for feed- ing the following winter, then good size, growth and stamina are re- quired. In that event I would cut out the corn from their ration for best results. But they should be fed this grain ration, as there is no time in an animal's life when as great returns will be given for food consumed as when suckling its dam. The Carriage Horse. It appears that the Bureau of Ani- mal Industry, operated under the direction of the United States De- partment of Agriculture, desires the co-operation of the American Asso- ciation of Trotting Horse Breeders in its effort to improve the American carriage horse.

Labor Makes the Hens Pay. Those who endeavor %o secure the most eggs by selecting the ‘best breed” have found that, after all, it is the labor and care which makes the profit. Ask any number of poul- trymen their opinion as to which breed is the best, and it will be found that they do not agree, some prefer- ring one breed and some the others. A farmer may secure what he sup- poses to be the best breed only to be disappointed, while the breed which is rejected may prove profit- able with his neighbors because of better care. The hens should not pay better in winter than in summer, but no doubt the farmers are better satis- fied with the winter result; due to the giving of more attention to the hens because no other farm work is urgent. Women and children cannot care properly for the fowls when the ground is covered with snow. There is something more to do than to throw down corn for them. They must have water that is not frozen, the eggs must be collected often to avoid freezing, the floors must be cleaned, a variety of food must be mixed, and sick fowls must be cared for, as well as looking after other details.— Weekly Witness. Improving the Dairy Herd. There are a great many dairymen | who do not know the possibilities of | their own cov prove their va by buying new cows ir proving the status of t ilk producers | tead of im- | 1e old ones. | 1e New bioon is to be desired, il it government breeding industry showed more wisdom in this move than in anything else they have cver done since they began the effort to create an American type of carriage horse. They have gone tq.the men who are interested as breeders in the horses needed for the establishment of the ideal already conceived. A type of carriage horses might be created from a variety of horses. The show horse, the thoroughbred, the hackney or the good looking nondescripts which might be picked up in different parts of the country. By long continued selection and care a type might be established in this way in the course of time, but before an ideal was produced there would be no end of disappointments, not to say a hig bill of costs. The shortest cut to the ideal American carriage horse is through the American trotter, and the govern- ment breeders are likely to isarn this important truth if ther keep in touch with the trotting horse breeders they have invited to co-operate with them. The best type of well-bred trotting horses to-day are little more than an intensified type ». the carriage horse. They have the best conformation for road work of any horse in the world. The best for the heavier work of pulling a big carriage. They have been bred until they possess a hare mony of good points unknown in any otlier horse. All of these things are desirable in the carriage horse.— The Horseman. i r—————————— Despite constant heavy rains Pres- ton, England, is threatened with a water famine, a species of fine moos having found its way into the water mains and blocked the supplies, yrup of Fios Elixir Senna Cl GS s the S em I, ect- eat eile aches due to Constipation; Acts naturally. acts teuly as a liaxative.

That “colds” are due to “catching heat” is another one of the curious paradoxes due to the modern inves- tigations of disease, and by “colds” is meant all the acute inflammations of the respiratory tract, including pneumonia. Eskimos never have pneumonia at home, but they =early all die of it when they come to New York. This disease is now the most fatal one in the heat of Panama. Peary states that none of his party suffered from coughs and colds in the Arctic, but after their return they have all had such diseases. “Tropical colds’’ are the persistent forms of bronchitis and so hard to “throw off” or cure. It is well to inquire, now that the benefits of cold air are be- ing recognized, whether our winter colds are not really due to the un- wholesome heat of our houses, which are hotter in winter than in sum- mer. If so, we do not “catch cold” when we leave the house, but ‘“‘catch heat” when we enter it. Every new fact seems to point to the neces- sity of a reform in our methods of overheating our houses.—From Amer- ican Medicine. Marriage a Journey.
