______________________
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 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.

true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured

assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par

which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
