If your cow's milk brings you in $25 year she just pays her board. If she brings you iu $50 a year she is an ani mal well worth $70. The possession of a cyclone cave and a lightning rod often does much to steady the nerves of those who are afraid of June winds and electric dis plays. The biggest Joke of the season on the United States has been that we have been dependent on old Ireland for our potatoes since the middle of winter that is, the people of eastern cities have. Talk about reproduction! The cod fish, which deposits 600,000 eggs. Is not in the game with the common bouse fly, which,^ if unhindered, would be the progenitor of 20,000,000 pesky flies during the summer season. If the small boys in your neighbor hood do not like you it Is not best for you to plant a melon patch very far from your house, for there is no way to the small boy which seems so proper to get even with the cross old man as to take it out in melons. The banana trade of this country Is becoming very large, though just why people have such a hankering for such a tasteless fruit we could never un derstand. Of the 21,000,000 bunches of bananas raised in Costa Rica and neighboring territory the United states takes 20,000,000. Where a man is able and knows enough to work old bossy, old biddy and a good garden in happy conjunc tion, he is assured of more tlmu half the living for himself and family. More good men should know how to do this, for it would pay better than strik ing for higher wages or Joining a union. Scientists tell us that our lumber supply will be exhausted in twenty-five years, our supply of iron ore in fifty years and our stock of hard coal in 125 years, but there Is no need to worry over this prospect, for American inge nuity will find a substitute for all these things wheu the time comes that it is necessary. There are some of our Insectivorous birds which eat their weights in in sects every day during the nesting season. A pair of wrens engaged in caring for a brood of seven young ones have been known to make 250 trips to the nest between sunup aud sundown and each trip carried a good fat bug or grub to the little family. The fact Is when the birds ate gone the agri cultural and horticultural interests of the country will be at the mercy of In sect pests. We ate some sirup recently which was made from the sap of the soft maple tree, and a more delicious sirup was never produced from any source. The sap from this tree is not quite so rich in sugar as that from the hard maple, but it flows just as profusely, and the product when botlert down Is of a lighter color. There are plenty of soft maple groves all over the north west which might well be utilized In the manner indicated. The tapping of the trees and the making of the sirup will greatly interest the boys on the farm. Here is one thing worth considering: Every good farmer wants and should have a suitable place to take-care of the products of his farm, a 5granary for his grain, a crib for his corn and a bam for his bay. Now. there is no way in which so large an amount of fodder can be so cheaply stored and •afely, too, as to put the corn crop into silo, and this for the reason that no kind of fodder is put in such a con densed form as silage. Thus it fol lows that if one wants shelter and protection for forage crops $300 put Into a silo will store more food than the same taoaey put into a barn. A western pastor who found it need ful to eke out a small salary with a little intensive agriculture writes us that upon the parsonage grounds, com prising one acre of land, the usual area of it occupied with boose, barn, lmwn, corncrtb and outhouses, be grew In one season 35 bushels of potatoes, IS bushels of beets, 5 of carrots, 2 of kohl rabi, 4 of sweet corn, 4 of turnips 4 of salsify, 2 of cucumbers, 4 of pep pers, 3 bushels of crapes, 160 qnarti of blackberries, 00 quarto of strawber ries, 300 good beads of cabbage.

Sevent live years a^o Italy supplied nearly all the cork used in England, but the Italian supply has fallen off greatly of late years.

Forced Contribution. Not long ago in New York some philanthropic effort was started in clnirch to raise funds, ami it was de cided to hj.ve a special sermon and collection. Mr. was appointed erne of the members to nass the iIate. -aeting a friend on Broadway, and being very anxions for a large collec tion, he ur^ed his attendance.

He called in a physician of his own race, but after a time, as there were no signs of im provement, a white doctor was sum moned.
