great deal Of poor food, especially cake

inaccuracy in measuring. "a pinch" o

mean four times as much in one hand a.
IN tha auother,- enough to entirely
change the quality and favor. Teaspoons
'eacups and cofleecnps now vary greatly
The old standard teacup held just half q

three quarters OF a pint, or, two and two
thirds cups to quartz but on testing seyer-
al cups now in use we find that of one
pattern of teacups three fill quart; of an
other it takes FIVE, and Of another six;while
Of cofleecups, two Of one set fill a quart and
Of another nearly four.
1t would be simple matter and great
convenience, Tor any housekeeper to always
keep at hand accurate measuring cups of
earthenware or tin. Let teacupful or a
tumbler full; always mean exactly half o
pint, and keep a cup of that size. Or use
small tin cup-one with side handle be-
ing preferable.
Spoon measuring is more important,
es 'ecially in giving medicines The top is
50 broad and it is sS difficult to know when
spoon is evenly full, that "teaspoonftl
dose" of any medicine, or of Aavoring
extract in cooking, may be double what is
p 'escnbed. Tho standard teaspoon, evenly
fu ! held one eighth of fluid ounce, or

Just three times as much, or 42 to the pint.
Sixty drops of water equal one teaspoonful,
1t drops OF different liquids vary in sizf. Z.

and lip for pouring out the liquids. There
are marks on the side and figures 1920, 80,

60 making just a standard teaspoonfu'.
With this at hand one is always able to
measure OF exact teaspoonfuls ofapything.
In giving medicine, such regularity of doses
may mean recovery OF health. These glasses

FARMERS COLUMN.
Take Care Of Your Live Stock.

Good Shelter.-It is absolute economy 10
provide warm and comfortable winter quart
e for all live stock, with an ample supply
Of pure fresh air. When animals are hous-
eo In well-made barns and stables, they
require much less food to keep them in a
good condition. Lumber, in this form, is
cheaper than hay and grain for wintering
farm stock. Pure water in abundance is
very needful for the health OF animals.
1t should be drank fresh from the we'll. Il
left in the trough to freeze, It soon becomes
as cold as ice water, and when taken into
the animal system, it requires much heat
of the body to bring it up to the required
temperature. Avoid as far as possible hav-
ing the watering troughs partly filled with
ice and snow. They may be made so as to
turh over when not in use, and this keeps
them clean and free from the chilling ice.
Live stock should be fed regularly. Even
II not generously fed, this regularity is bet
ter than an excess Tor few days, and then
a lack of food for a time. Animals ars ney-
er coniented when hungry, and they should
not be permitted TO thus become uneasy.
The damage done by one omitted feeding
cannot be made good by a double ration
afterwards. This slip sbod method of feed
ing is quite sure to bring disorder into the
flock or stable.
Horses.-An idle team may be wntered
upon good hay alone, but when lightly
worked, little grain at noon may be need
ed. They are TO be kept in good health and
flesh, and the amount Of grain should be
governed accordingly. Horses doing heavy
work will need few quarts Of ground oats
and corr daily, in addition to an abundance
OF the best hay. Young colts should have
excellent care, for their future usefulness
depends largely upon the growth they make
the lirst winter. Linseed oil cake in smal,
doses is one of the best remedies for costive
ness in the young farm animals.
Cows.-As the weather begins to grow
cold, the cows will fall off in milk unless
an abundance of nutritious food is provided
in the stalls. Beets cut or pulped, and mix.
ed with cut hay, to which cornneal is add
ed, makes an excellent ration for mlch
cows. 1t is of the greatest importance to
keep up the flow of milk at the beginning
OF winter. Calyes and yearlings may be
kept in roomy sheds where, with good
feed and abundant litter, they will make
large amount of excellent manure before
spring.
Sheep should be kept from the lambs, or
they will crowd and rob the young stock.
The flock may take a run on the stubtle
fields during warm days. The ticks should
all be killed before midwinter. Boys may
be paid, by the dozeh, lor picking them ol
the sheer. Breeding ewes to have early
mutton lambs, should be kept in separate te
yard and shed, where they may have tho
most generous feeding. AgricuI-

Cheaper Postage.

If, as reported, Postmaster General
Gresham contemplates advising that the
limit of single letter postage be fixed at an
ounce instead of half an ounce he will find
himself supported by the whole army OF
letter writers. There is hardly any likeli.
hood of the length of letters being extend.
ed, no matter how liberal the rates and
rules may become but there is much dis
satisfaction over the general uncertainty Us
to the weight of letters. Probably nine
mailed envelopes in ten could hold an ad-
ditional sheet of note paper without weigh
ing more than half an ounce; on the other
hand, however, very thick sheet of letter
paper may be heavy enough to be suspect
ed of overweight, tested by the Post Office
scales, ornamented with notice Of postage
due-and who likes to appear so stingy as
to underpay his letters? 1t is said that only
about one in twenty of all letters mailed in
this city weighs more than half an ounce,
and it Is quite certain that scarcely any
member of the class that does most writing
will increase the bulk of single letters
Why not, therefore, make one ounce the
unit of postage, so that the multitude Of
writers may no longer have to gravitate
between uncertainty and letter scales
whenever they add q card or an extra bit
of paper to note?- Y. Herald.

LEGISLATIVE PAY.

1t is well known fact that the state
senate under the leadership of Cooper,
met only twice a week for several
months, and after holding ten minute
sessions, adjourned, positively refusing
to transact any of the business that
was sent to il from the House.
The Sentinel of last week strongly
endorses the proposition of the legisla-
ture to take pay for the ten days be-
tween the convening of the extra ses-
sion and the day it assembled and for
each ard every day since, Including
Sundays, Notwithstanding the fact
that the republican senate spent but
two days week in session, aud then
refused to work. 1t says "they will
make asses of themselves if they do
not take every dollar they are entitled
to under the law"
In other words, it wants the senate
to draw pay for seven days in each
week instead of two, and insists, in ef-
feet, that every member, whether alb
sent or present, shall draw his ten dol
lars day for the full time.
We have only to say to this as we
said before that the members or sena-
tors who do this will assume respon
sibility for which they will be held to
