students Sent to Japan to .Study
Secret of Progress.
A missionary agent of our Ameri
can Bible society at Shanghai reports
that a very great change has come
over the spirit of China as a conse
quence of the Japanese victory over
Russia. The victory of Japan over
loina, so soon succeeded by its de
feat of a great Western and Christian
power, has startled Chinamen to in
quiring as to the causes of so extra
ordinary a manifestation of prowess.
and by an oriental nation which is
small relatively to China, itself so
long the easy prey of European
powers, says tne New York Sun.
Accordingly great numbers of
Chinese students have . been sent to
Japan to learn how, at last, such
mastery was attained by a people of
me orient, or the thousands of
students many have returned to China
to disseminate the knowledge they ac
quired and to propagate in books and
newspapers their larger and more en
lightened views of oriental needs and
destiny. At the time this report of
the agent of the Bible society was
written there woro aa morn of 1 r
Chinese students still in Japan.
As a result of this Japanese pro
paganda, the Chinese, more especial
ly In Peking, but also In the country
aistncts to a very considerable ex
tent, are getting new1 ideas of pro
gres; but it is of progress without
Christianity.

OUST THE DEMON.
A Tlianle With Coffee.
There is something fairly demonia
cal In the way coffee sometimes wreaks
its fiendish malice on those who use It.
A lady writing from Calif, says:
"My husband and I, both lovers of
coffee, suffered for some time from a
very annoying form of nervousness,
accompanied by most frightful hood
aches. In my own cose there was
eventually developed some sort of af
fection of the nerves leading from .the
spine to the head.
"I was unable to hold my head lip
straight, the tension of the nerves
drew it to one side, causing me the
most intense pain. We got no relief
from medicine, and were puzzled as to
whnt caused the trouble, till a friend
suggested that possibly the coffee we
drank had something to dj with it, and
advised that we quit it and try Tos
tum Coffee.
"We followed his advice, and from
the day that we began to use Fostum
we both begnn to improve, and in n
very short time both of va were en
tirely relieved. The nerves became
steady once more, the headaches
csased, the muscles in the back of my
neck relaxed, my . head straightened
np and the dreadful pain that had so
punished me while I used the old kind
of coffee vanished.
"We have never resumed the use of
the old coffee, but relish our Postum
every day as well as we did the for
mer beverage. And we are delighted
to find that we can give it freely to
our children also, something tre never
dared to do with the old kind of cof
fee." Name given by Postum Co., Bat

Chirks Fed on Corn Meal.

The chicks nre liable to get wet by

A poultry exchange gives the follow
lug excellent plan for roosts and nest
boxes:
"One of the most important arrange
ments In the poultry house is the pro
per location of both roosts and nest
boxes, and the plan here described has
been found all that is desirable. Its
advantages nre the plocing of the
roosts low, the chance for a dropping
board under the roosts and the location
of the nest boxes where it is quiet and
dark, a condition quite pleasing to lay
ing hens.
"Make a frame of the desired length
nnd of a width so that the nest box

will be twelve inches in the space oc
cupied by the hen. The side boards
are eighteen inches high at the back
and when covered with matched
boards, which form the dropping
board, it comes even with the floor in
front. Then fasten posts nt either end
of the front on which the frnnic com
posing the perches is to rest, fastening
this frame to the box frame, which
brings Hie perches level. The one
open side of the board frame is then
partitioned off to form the nests, which
are about a foot square in the clear.
This plan forms a neat, compact, com
bined roost and nest boxes, and as it
is placed away from the wall there is
little opportunity for vermin to infest
it. The illustration shows the details
plainly, the drawing nt the top labeled
two indicating the nest boxes, which
ore shown in the main drawing by
dotted lines."
Tlie Queen lice.
The queen is a fair and stately boo,
differing from the workers both in
shape and color. She is longer than
a honey boo by one-third, and some
what longer than n drone, but not quite
so big around.
The queen is treated with the great
est respect and affection by the boos.
A circle of her offspring often surround
her, testifying in various ways their
dutiful regard, offering her food from
time to time, nnd all of them politely
backing out of her way, to gite her a
clear path when she moves over the
combs. So strong is the feeling of
the workers for the queen, that If for
any reason she is removed, the whole
folony is filled with consternation and
dismay. Her death, when it is too !ate

moans the final extinction of the
colony.
A good queen will sometimes lay

or nearly the weight of her own body,
nnd continue doing it for weeks In suc
cession. At the beginning of the season
the queen lays eggs in the worker cells.
She walks over the combs, puts her
hood into each open cell as she conies
to it, as though to discover whether
it is occupied or is in lit condition to
receive an egg. I have often 'watched
how faithfully she goes about her
work, from an observatory hive, for
hours.
The queen only stings other queens,
nnd seeks only to kill her rivals. She
may be handled to any extent, without
feor of being stuug. She has also groat
tenacity of life, as well as longevity.

Rat in the Chicken Yard.
A neTet falling remedy for these
pests of the chicken yard is not nt pres
ent in sight; but a substitute may be
mentioned, a remedy that falls some
times and many times succeeds. It Is
this; Spread fresh bread with sweet
grease, such as is saved from frying
bacon and pork. Rats will eat bread
spread with gilt edged butter, and they
may like it better, but on the score of
economy try grease spread liberally.
Then spread on the grease any
of the phosphoric pastes, and over
this poison sprinkle sugar. Cnt
the bread intb small square and
lay them where the rats run, a few in
a place; but not whore chickens, or
hens, or children will got them. Do
this in the evening, having sot cans
of water where the rats may find them
easily. In the morning gather up what
pieces of bread have not been eaten
and bury them. If they have all dis
appeared during the night, rejoice.
"'here will be fewer rats around for
awhile. In the course of n week make
a mush of cornmoal. mix the poison
with It, sprinkle a little sugar over the
top and hide It away from them In
some dark places. They will find it
nnd eat it. Again rejoice. But do not
place the same kind of dish for rots
a second time In the same place. They
are cautions nnd suspicious. Be more
crafty in providing tidbits for them
than they are cautious. Now a little
beef, again scraps of fish, nnd then
broad and grease. Vary the tempta
tion, and they will fall victims to it.

V Advantage ot Hllagp.
The difficulty of securing succulent
feed during the dry period of summer,
and also during the winter season, has
been mot in several ways with varying
success. But for general feeding upon
most dairy farms throughout the Cen
tral States corn silage Is the most eco
nomical succulent feed which can be
obtained for cows nt a seoson when
posture Is not nvoilable. When fed
with other grains so as to moke a bal
onced ration, it tends to heavy milk
production nnd is always very chcop
feed. By the use of the silo, green
feed can be had nt less cost than for
soiling, sinca with the silo corn may be
used to a greater extent. Trofessor
W. J. Fraser, of the Illinois Expert
ment Station, states In a recent -bul
Ictin, No. 101, that in Illinois corn is
the best single crop for silage, nnd
combined with cowpease or soy beans,
the feeding value may be somewhat
Increased.
The time to cut corn for silage Is
when fully tasseled, and when the ears
are Just beginning to show the dents
on nearly all the grains. It Is found
that at this stage the dry matter and
nutrients ns well are nt the highest
point. If ripe, silage will not settle
well Into the silo, and so will not be
sufficiently protected to prevent spoil
ing. Corn for this purpose is most enslly
handled by cutting with n binder, using
n silage cutter nnd large knife to take
the bundles without cutting the bonds.
In filling the silo the leaves and steins
must be thoroughly mixed, nnd after
it is put in the shock well tramped
next to the wall. After filling, the
top six inches should be wet once and
tramped occasionally for a week to ob
tain a compact layer, which will pre
serve the silage.
Records of the cost of silo filling on
nineteen different farms in various
parts of Illinois show that the cost
ranges from forty to seventy-five cents
per ton. the average being fifty-six
cents. Of 372 comparisons made be
tween silage and nnsilage milk, sixty
per cent, wore In favor of the silage
milk. Orange Judd Farmer.
A Pig limit.
A veteran raiser of swine has set
about raising bis animals on the col
ony plan, somewhat after the plan
of raising poultry. He has no diffi
culty niter the first week when tho
pigs learn which house is their own.
The pigs nre placed on the range with
those colony houses as soon ns they
are old enough to graze. The houses
nre built low. and nrrongod so that the
ends nre open near the top, using slats
of heavy material with a wide board
at the bottom. Tho back is solid, and
there is a good roof which 13 water
proof. The front is arranged so that the
r..
iiTAjv.f JJ
bottom board may be removed; it is
hooked in place at each end, and over
the entire front is placed a sloping
roof, somewhat in form like the roof
of n veranda. This roof furnishes
shade, and with the partly open front
and sides, there is plenty of ventila
tion. The pigs graze nil they wish
and then go into the pen to rest or
tu get out of the hot sun. At night
they occupy it very rarely, sleeping on
the grass. With the smaller pigs care
Is taken to place the bottom board of
the front in place and book it at night.
Any feeding that is done is given in a
trough at the side of the colony house.
The illustration shows the construc
tion of these houses, which should be
small enough so they may be placed
on a stone boat or sled and carried
under cover in the fall. Indianapolis

RATION TO SUIT THE COW.
Palatablllty Is n large factor in the
cow ration, nnd that is the reason sll

balanced ration Is an Important matter,
but if you want to make money with
your cows you must still respect their
individuality. Each cow lias "h mind
of her own," nnd you had better watch
out for It Under Professor Hnecker's
new trentpient the general rule Is, in
making up the herd ration, put one

A KICKING COW.
There are many recommended rneth'
ods of dealing with kicking cows
One, which is by some found to be
very effective, Is to rope or strap the
hind legs together just nbove the hock
The rope or strnp should be put on In
the form of n figure eight, having it
cross between the legs. Some milt
ers apply the rope close down to the
feet and fasten It to a ring in the floor
Rather than fasten the rope secure
ly. It Is better at the first trial to have
nn attendant to hold the rope, so thnt
he can loosen it In ense the cow throws
herself In her effort to kick. A plat
that does no good nnd generally much
harm Is to beat the animal. This only
increases the retaliation in the form of
kicking. A kicking cow Is an angry
cow, and after one has exhausted his
efforts in attempting to soothe her by
moans of patting, currying, giving
mnshes, etc., without success, the only
thing to do is to secure her in a man
ner that she can neither kick nor In
jure herself.

a double window In the corner next to

window nnd nir out the house every
day. For nests, use just common
cracker boxes, cut two holes In back
side and put n partition In it for twe
nests nnd nail it to the partition from
tho grain room; have holes in the
partition, so the hens can go into the
Jiests nnd Iny, nnd you can get the
eggs by just lifting the lids from the
igrnin room without going into the
roosting room for them. John M.

CAN I CONTROL SWARMING?
The following plan, which, I believe,
is entirely original, was tested on but
a few colonies during the summer of
1!K)4, and cannot guarantee satisfac
tory results for that reason. However,
If it appeals to you, try it, nnd I should
like to know of tho results.
Acting on the knowledge thnt nil
queen cells nre built downward, I re
versed tho entire brood of a henvy,
prosperous colony thnt hnd a number
of cells in different stages of develop
ment. The frames nnd follower fit
so snugly nfter swelling thnt not n
frame sagged. One week later nil cells
but one were destroyed, nnd thnt con
tained a dead queen. These few colo
nies so treated failed to mature a queen
cell, and, so far as I know, cast no
swnrras. The bees wore located ten
miles from home and visited weekly.
By placing two thin, narrow boards
over tho ends of the frame, and pass
ing a-wire over each, fastening the
ends to screws on the outside, any hive
body con be safely reversed without
the frame falling to the bottom board.
All combs would then be built to the
bottom bar and all honey stored in the
upper port of the frames be carried
Into the supers, when reversed, as the
balance of the frame would be filled
with brood or pollen. If this system
works satisfactorily it will simplify
the control of swarming. E. H.
