A number of molasses , feeds wen tried at the Massachusetts experiment station the past year and are the sub ject of a special bulletin. The experi ments seem to have been largely witl feeds made of molasses and grouuc grain, with no trial of those made o: molasses and beet pulp or molasses and distillers grains. The common molasses feeds ar found to contain about the same com position as wheat, bran or "middlings and produce somewhere near the sauu results.- Some kinds of the feeds con tain whole weed seeds, which are ol course objectionable. It is found thai digestible organic matter in molasses feeds cost about the same as in homt mixed feeds. The best effects of molasses and mo lasses feeds seem to have been ob talned as a tonic and appetizer, espe dally for horses, and with good results also ior cows and pigs. In .feeding tt dairy cows good results were obtainei with a combination of a ration of soj bean ensilage and hay. American Cul tivator. Weaning Colts. In the course of an address delivered before the Wisconsin State institutf W. L. nouser said: "I like to weau mj colts at about four months of age. II they have been taught to eat grain they will make the shift without any loss of flesh or impairment of th growth. A little cow's milk, skimmilk. is good and helps amazingly to keep the colt going ahead at this time. Feed liberally of oats and bran, about all the colt will eat, and keep him goin in this way until he is a year old, whet he should be thrifty and strong, weigh ing from S50 to 1,000 pounds. He will not be much trouble after that time." The Farm Workshop. On the farm there is always some thing being broken or wearing out, and in order to replace it with the least cost the farmer should have a work shop if possible and If not then at least a good set of tools, and he can do his work out of doors In good weather and In the barn or elsewhere in bad. But it is far better to have a room fitted up for a shop with the tools in place, plenty of light and a stove to keep it warm. And in this shop there ought to be kept not only the tools, but some material to use, both wood and iron. Dairy Notes. Ample and frequent watering does much to keep up the flow of milk. Clean smelling, well ventilated, but comfortable stables are the exception. Health and profit go with them, how ever. No farmer is rich enough to afford to fool away his time with a milk cow that does not give euough to pay for her feed and care. It is well to keep cows comfortable. It is costly not to do so, but in over heated, foul smelling stables cows fre quently lose their appetites. The Farm Garden. The up to date farmer who appreci ates the good and wholesome things that grow in the garden is now enjoy ing on his dinner table celery, cabbage, salsify, parsnips, beets, onions, dried lima beans, navy beans and other things that came from his own gfirden. All these things contribute greatly to the comfort of living, besides being con ducive to health. The garden is a b'ess ing both summer anJ winter to those who take the little trouble and care necessary to make it so. Give Pigs Plenty of Room. Crowding too many pigs together has much the same effect as crowding chickens in too small a space. Pro fessor Haywood of the Pennsylvania station says that half If not more of the outbreaks of disease are due to the overcrowding of young shoats. The younger and weaker ones become so nnresistant ' that finally they succumb" to the germs of cholera or swine plague, which are always present even In healthy pigs. The Profitabla Cow. Some cows will produce twice as much butter fat as others of the same family, and this the dairyman will not know unless he tests his cows fre quently. In a comparison of the indi ylduaf records of two cows at the Ohio experiment station it was shown that the cost of food for one cow was $40, while for the other it was $34. The former cow gave a profit of $50 over feed, while the latter gave a profit of only $25. j The Valuable Sheep. The sheep ranks above the dairy cow as a money producing machine. There are several good reasons for keening sheep. They are able to graze on land useful for little else, consume all kinds of fodder and hence are good weed de stroyers and give the biggest returns for the least care. Professor F. C. Min kler, New Jersey Agricultural College. I Ashes Good For Hogs, i The successful swine breeder does 'not forget that, ashes are essential in building bone in hogs. When wood ashes cannot be obtained, corncobs can be burned to a charcoal or to a fine ash and kept in some clean place to which the hogs have access at all times. There need then be no special work in feeding it to them at any time. Ths Pure Bred Ram. A eood ram will put from one to iiree pouuds of wool per fleece on the 'average grade flock, which will pay for the ram the first year aside from 'the added value, of the lamb3. Indeed, if a ram doos not pay for himself the first year he never will pay for him self. W. N. Cowden. I C Sweet to E , f in Spite of Hunt J I Meiwale. . I By ETHEL DOUGLAS. J Copyrighted, 1908, by M. M. Cunningham. Nancy started angrily as the porter dropped a suit case into the front seat of her section aud Philip Graham fol lowed him to the seat. "This is ungenerous," she said tense ly when the porter had taken himself off. "How did you discover that I was coming?" "I am afraid that you will not credit fciy protestations," said Graham sober ly, "but I assure you that ray surprise equals your own. I was telegraphed for not two hours ago. I had just time to throw a few things into the suit case and run fer the train. I was under the Impressiou that ycu were to remain With your aunt a week and that last bight would make no difference In your, plans." "Last night had nothing to do with it," disclaimed Nancy. "Father wired for me. I am afraid that it is serious, and you elect to fellow me and annoy me with your arguments." "I have already assured jou of my entire ignorance of ycur presence on the fiier," said- Philip stiffly. "In proof of my good intentions I shall betake myself to. the smoker until I am able to arrange an exchange of seats with the conductor." He raised his hat and stalked for ward in the direction of the cafe car, leaving Nancy with her, feelings sadly ruffled. Only the night before Graham hi tl proposed to her r.ud had been re fused. She was certaia that her aunt, Sirs. Merrivale, Iir.d managed to get word to rhilip that Nancy had been telegraphed for. His presence here was a part of Mrs. Merrivale's match making plans. Had she been left to herself Nancy would have accepted Graham; but, be ing a young person of spirit, she de clined to be forced upon Graham or to have him forced upon her. From the beginning Aunt Merrivale's plans had been too obvious. They were flying through the yard now. She could not leave' the train. OEAHAM PASSED IIEIi ON HIS WAY TO. THE DINXXa CAE. Of course riiilip would ba back later to explain that he was unabld to eflect ars. exchange into another car. Prob ably he would rpend the evening ac ross the section from her, and, nn !il:e the men, there was no place te which Nancy could retreat. She was genuinely surprised when presently a strange porter came for the suit case, placing another in the Ecat in its place. She smiled to her ce'f with satisfaction. It was plain to Le seen that she had shown Graham how she had penetrated his plan, and he had acknowledged his defeat. Idly she wondered if i-e would leave the train at Philadelphia; then mentally Ebe scolded herself for taking any In terest in Philip Graham's movements. They . were well pnst Philadelphia when Graham pi'cd her on his way to the dining ear, raid Nancy rather admired him for his persistence in re maining away from her. At least he was too clever to betray his disap pointment that hi?, nice had failed. The night had settled down. Lights were dull, and reading was impossible. Nancy had answered the first call for dinner, and she resigned herself to Idling the long hour until the berths were made up. The message calling her home had been vagus In the ex treme, and in its very vagueness It Was the more alarming. Her father might be dying for all she knew, and the thought bore down upon her. She was peculiarly sensitive to moods, and the atmosphere of the half deserted car was depressing. Through the "closed door of the stateroom at her back came the wailing cry of a baby, to which vrrj? occasionally adfled the more lusty note of a growing child. Across the nisle a man played innu merable games of solitaire, the sharp whir of the shufle punctuating his grunting, half audible comments at tho run of bad luck. Just ahead two wonv en were discussing dressmaking In piii'ill tones . which rose above the Steady rattle of the trr.in, and here and there some man le.med idly back I his gcat and turned his newspaper with a rustle that jarred on nerves al ready at a tension. Nancy felt that i he must scream. She bad slept little the night before after l' Hikes E&Sit&rc &i&&9 2v's Pokes &uitv her Interview with Philip, and when at ; last she had been able to doze off she j had been aroused to read the telegram Icalling her home. From then until train time It had been a steady con fusion, and the meeting with Philip In the car had added the final touch to her nervous condition. As he returned from lUe jner to seek the car ahead she half started from her seat, but sank back In coufusion. It would never do to tell Philip that the needed him. He would think that she-was seeking to reopen the question , of last night, and he would suggest ;-thnt the need was permanent But as the minute3 dragged past Fancy's discomfort increased, and at L&t she signaled the porter and direct- ed him to go after Graham. The por j ter grinned understandingly as he went forward to the cafe car and presently i returned with Graham, whom he pre ; s?ated with the proud air of acc-oin-: plishment worn by the magician who ; extracts a rabbit from a hat. i 'Ton are ill?" Philip asked, with f'rave concern, as he noticed the drawn I lips and the feverish sparkle of her tyes- "Not ill," she explained, "but I shall be presently if I have to sit here and listen to the wailing of those child-en, j With no one to talk to. I thoug'it j perhaps you wouldn't mind doin? a i charitable act and talk to me for a lit tle while." "Philanthropy becomes a pleaeure When it assumes so Inviting a form,' he declared, with a smile, as he sank into the seat beside her. Graham was a capital conversational ist, and jalmost before she realized it the porter had begun to take down the berths, and Graham glanced at his Watch. "ton't go yet," pleaded Nancy, and j Graham smiled. - . j "I was going to ask permission to Trait until after the next stop," he Bald. "Tve can take s little walk on the sta tion platform ai:J. get a breath of fresh air before we face the smother of the berths." "There's the whistle now," said Nan cy as she reached for her hat. The train slowed down, and present ly they were pacing up and down the platform. There was a sharpness in the air that was grateful after the overmanned car, and Nancy was sorry when the warning came to get aboard again. The porter from Graham's car ap proached them as Nancy resumed her Eeat He handed Graham a telegram 1 wired j-our father for more par ticulars," Philip explained when he had read the message. "Your aunt from San Francisco Is visiting your father and wished to see you before she returns to the coast." "Is that all?" Nancy's face express ed the relief she felt. "Isn't it odd I never thought of that? But I never told you that I was worried about fa ther," she added. "Not in words," , he admitted. "I could see it in your face. And now that your mind is set at rest I shall say good night." Nancy watched him until he had al most reached the end of the aisle; then she ran after him, catching up with him just as he reached the vestibule. "Is that all you wanted to say?" she asked as she swayed lightly toward him. ' "Not all I wanted to say," he re plied, "but all that I was permitted to say." "The rest is permitted, and the an swer is 'Yes' this time," was the im pulsive reply. "I'll marry youeven If Auntie Merrivale docs want me to." And Graham's eyes smiled compre hendingly as he bent and kissed the rosy lips. He was not appreciative of matchmakers himself. Colors In Dreams. Red and yellow are the dream colors if Dr. Havelock Ellis is right. No oth er hues come to the dreamer of dreams. Simroth has declared that red is the most primitive of colors, and long ago protoplasm from which human beings derived their origin on the new earth probably responded to or was affected by red color waves. In the depth of the sea the algae, or seaweed, are red. With the savage red Is the favorite color, and for a bright piece of red calico African savages gladly would give valuable elephant tusks. Red strikes the note of intense emo tions. It i3 the color of joy, exultation, jubilation. Savages paint themselves red and rejoice at seeing each other in burning hues. Gorman women of the early ages daubed their bodies with briliant red and yellow and considered themselves most beauteously adorned. On sacred festivals In Rome and Greece, Pliny records, red was smeared over the statues of Jupiter and was the color of religious rejoicing. The hu man eyes, it is said, can distinguish 100,000 different hues or colors and can appreciate and differentiate twenty shades of each hue. In other words, the eye is capable of 2,000,000 color im pressions. His Diamonds and His Paste. Bob Palmer, the comedian, had beeu originally a billstieker, a fact prstty generally known among his collea;rues of the stage. One evening when d ess ed for the character of Sir Brilliant Fashion he strutted into the green room with buckles sparkling on his shoes and a fine diamond on his finger. A brother actor inqulr?d if his gams were real. "To be sure they are. I wear nothing but diamonds," was the reply, whereupon Bannister remarked, "I congratulate you, Bob, for I can re member when you wore nothing but paste." t'almer did not take the joke with be coming good humor, and an angry al tercation ensued, which was only bro ken when Mrs. Jordan cried out: "Why don't you stick him against the wall, Bob? Stick him against the wall!" London Telegraph. nit get i--TssHc!ate relief frcsi 1 it Br. Mass's 8sOas5s:dc5. FACTS IN FEW LINES A drug store in Moscow hasjajstaff of 700 employees.

By the use of steam launches in the rubber Industry on the upper Amazon the town of Iquitos has risen to such Importance that a monthly steamship service has been established between that town and Liverpool, only rubber being carried.

A gigantic tray of solid silver weigh ing more than 10,000 ounces has just been made by a firm In London for an oriental potentate.

Conrad Skarstedt, a prominent Swed ish horticulturist, is in New York, hav ing come from.

The Santa Veracruz church, one of the oldest and most artistic Catholic temples of Mexico, is threatening to collapse as a consequence of the dam age caused by the formidable earth quake of April 11 last. The church was erected between the years 1520 and 1520, nearly 400 years ago, but its con struction is superb. While It is estimated that there ara in British Columbia approximately 150,000,000 acres of timber lands re maining unsold and unleased, it is also true that so far G,500,000 acres, com prising the most valuable and accessi ble portions of the whole, have already been staked and generally are in pos session of nonresidents, mostly Amer icans or syndicates backed by Ameri can capital. Frequently the real estate transfers in New Yoik remind us that the wife of Bishop Henry C. Potter is a woman of vast wealth.
