“I’mSoTired!” A CENT'S WORTH of the wrong baking powder will spoil a half-dollar’s worth of cake. Use Schilling's Best. As tired in tbe morning as when I go to bed! Why is it? Simply because your blood is in such a poor, thin, sluggish condition it does not keep up vour strength and you do not get the bener.t of your sleep.

A large cow may be a dainty feeder, while a small one may at all times be ready to consume large quantities of food.

Tbe farmers who own the large tract of land in Essex which was in November last flooded by suit wnler owing to a break down of a sea wall, may think of thia adage when they ruefully look at their sodden giound.

That land, measuring about 50,000 acres, is still in a S[H>ngv state, and is likely to re main so until the farmers’ friends—the worms—have had time to recover their lost position.

A cow giving a large quantity of milk has been slaughtered, and every drop of milk has been gathered up. and the largest amount ever found was about four quarts; hence, milk Is largely made during the time of milking; and the cow must be placed under favora ble conditions at the time, or you do not get the regular quantity of milk. Do not think that the milk is already there, and all you have to do Is to draw It out. Only a small portion is In this state. Most of It is there, ready to bo changed into milk, but it is not milk, and we must have things favorable foy the cow to make this change. Value of Worn» to Farmers. The Chinese compass points to tlie south instead of the north. Men wear skirts, tlie women trousers. Men wear their hair long, women wear it stiort. Men carry on dressmaking, woman cany burdens. The spoken language is not written, and the writteu languange is not spoken. Books are read backward. Footnotes are inserted an top of the page. The Chinese dress is white at funer als and in mourning at weddings, while old women always serve as bridesmaids. The Chinese launch their vessel* sidewayB and mount their horses from tbe off side. The Chinese begin their dinner with desert and end with soup and fish. In Chino the hands of the clock are immovable; it is tbe dial that revolves. This will be rbe greatest gold year in history. From South Africa, the Klondike and Aus tralia the precious metal is being shipped in large quantities. It is believed that this year's output will be nearly double that of any pre vious twelve months. The sales of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters are also increasing ver? fast, and this year that famous remedy will cure mire people of dyspepsia, indigestion, consti pation, nervousness and weakness than ever before. ______________________ There is a general belief that the en tire rest which the cow gets at night makes the morning milk richer than that which she gives at night after more or less exercise through the day. But if the exercise in daytime takes anything from the milk, it is more like ly to use up tbe albumenoids or strength-giving elements, and thus leave tbe milk richer. Yet the morn ing's milk may be richer in butter fats for an entirely different reason. There is reason to believe that all the time milk is forming in the udder it is los ing some of its butter fats which are being absorbed by the cow. The strip pings or milk last formed is for this reason richer than that first taken. In summer time there is a shorter time be tween milking at morning than at night, and consequently there is a greater proportion of strippings in the smaller mess of milk. It is rather curiously a Southern farmer who has succeeded in producing the hog that turns the scales at the greatest weight. T. W. Williams, of Decatur. Ala., is the man. and his hog. which he says is only three years old, weighs 1.524 pounds and is so fat that It cannot rise. It is 10 feet 2 inches in length, four and a half feet high. Its owner has refused $500 for it, thinking that he can make more by taking it from place to place, and using it as a show. The hog is of the Berkshire breed, crossed on the native Southern stock. If the hog has made its growth in three years, it means an annual gain of 508 pounds per year. That would be double what most hogs gaiu during the first year of their lives, when the gain is usually greatest. CtUi>e»e Do Everything I kick ward.
