A Sermon In q Nutshell.

A practical and successful dairyman
says: ave can make winter milk
worth to the patron S1.40 per hundred
pounds easier than we can now make it
worth sixty five cents, and the farmer b as
more, and less valuable time, TO make
it in than he has now." Here is
sermon in five lines that should put
every dairyman to thinking about going
into winter dairying. How much easier
you could do your farm work, and how
much more food you could raise for the
COWS II they went farrow all summer,
and began the heavy work Of the dairy
in the fall. II you have all the neces-
sary and inexpensive arrangements at
the barn that you should have it is
but little more trouble to feed cows
in winter than to carry them
to and bring them back from pasture
In summer, and when you consider the
greater value of the time in summer
when field work is to be performed,
the two will Just about equalize them
selves. To be sure winter dairying re-
quires some more forethought than
summer dairying. The COWS must be
fed regularly three times day though
the midday feed be only hay. Ample
provision must be made for ground
feed, and it is always a good thing to
have a supply of roots on hand, though,
of course, these are not absolutely in
dispensable. The barn must be warm,
too IL tho cows ara aynnctpd 10 piVo
milk. They may make out to shiver
through a bitter winter when farrow
with no gieat injury except in the way
Of waste Of food, but this will never do
II milk is TO be made. Then the stable
il close aid warm will be comfortable
for the man to milk and feed in. One
comfort brings another, and proper ar
rangemert will make things comforta-
BILE all around. DairynleiL

Mr.. Jonathan Steele, who recently died
at OIL City, was famous, not only for own
ing $100, 900 which he made in oil opera
tions, but for keeping IT about him. He
distrusted the banks, and kept hts money
In tin box under his bed. Several
masked burglars tried to steal II, but he
was so strong that he drove them away.
On finding the greenbacks becoming moldy,
he spread them on the grass in the yard 10
dry. The wind filed the air with them,
and life was O burden TO him for few
minutes until be got them back again. It
took several days TO dry them, the family
standing guard over them, while the neigh
bors came from long distance TO sec o
fortune spread out upon the grass This
discouraged him, and he began looking
around for some other place TO keep hfs
hoard. He finally invested IL In United
States bonds, with tho exception Of 30 900.
which he deposited in local bank that
soon after faded, leaving no assets. Mr..

Tricks OF the Trade.
philadelphia Bulletin.l

They do say that sales-people in shoe
stores have unique way OF deceiving
lady customers. Their method is to lay
aside pair of shoes to which some trivial
objection has been made, and bring forth
others which are tried on without success.
Then the sales-person suddenly remembers
that few hours previous there arrived
case of sample shoes which have not yet
been put upon the market. After few
moments In another part OF the establish
ment the attendant comes forth with the
first pair OF shoes condemned, done up in
an elegant box, which is unwrapped with
due ceremony, and the shoes held before
the.customer's eyes In a way that is both
tempting and convincing. "This is new
STYLE" says the sales-person, "and one
that will become POPULAR" Have none of
them been sold yetp asks the customer.
'No, madam; let me try this on you
Ahl just your fit, and gives your foot an
uncommonly pretty lookup Nine times
out Of ten does the trick work, and the
customer makes the purchase, and all un-
conscious Of the fact that she has q shoe
which has been In the store probably for
months, and to which she took exception
but a short time before. It may be very
wicked 10 deceive the ladies in this kind
of style, but the seller eases his conscience
by declaring that 1t is a deception which
has done no harm while it aided him TO
make sale.

The Owl and the Grow.
baltimore Americana

The hatred Of crows to the owl Is very
well known. Few things apparently cause
them more joy than to see an owl in
trouble, and last week they were the cause
OF the capture of q regular hen killer. On
Tuesday Mr.. William J. Porter, who re
sides about q mile from Princess Anne,
Nd, set trap on post near his farm for
owls, which he had reason to believe were
destroying his poultry. On Friday morn
ing when he went out he discovered that
his trap, which had chain tied 10 II, was
gone. The end Of the chain had been tied
To the post by q large string, but IL was
not strong 'enough to hold, and the bird Of
nocturnal habits took both trap and chain
with him. His owlship might have lived
for years with this weighty attachment to
him had It not been for his own enemy,
the crow. The owl was discovered by
crows in woods near by, and when they
saw some parties passing they commenced
frantic cawing, and convinced Mr.. Por-
Ter, who heard them, that they had dis
covered the owl with the trap fastened
to him. He Immediately went In search Of
the owl and soon heard the rattle OF o
chain and saw the bird fly away to o
thicket woods, to which point he followed
and shot him. Then the crows turned
their voices to great rejoicing.

THE DAIRY,

Success in butter-making depends
upon skill acquired only by actual ex-.
perience.
1t is said that "clover hay is better
for milch COWS than timothy; 1t gives
rise to more milk and better butter"
"A little more sunlight in the stables
will be beneficial for the stock. They
always seek little sun, oven in the
hottest weather. -4..a.la .aI j.
"A writer in the Country Gentleman
makes a sensible suggestion in regard
to testing cows for the amount Of butter
they will yield. He says that what
farmers want is COW that will give
large yield not on extra feeding and
stuiling but simply on a grass diet, the
natural food Of COWS in the summer
time. ".t .u sH
Colonel F. D. Curtis says that the
fancy dairymen, by allowing their
cream TO sour too much before churn-
ing, have made their product simply
Limitation oleomargarine." "They
have" he says, "invited the public
palate especially in the cities with
their rich made buttermilk-havored
butter, and created market for oleo-
margarine compounds, and now they
are running neok-and-neck race with
the oleomargarine manufacturers and
calling upon the Government to protect
them from the very thing that they
have created. a stt HU
The general farmer has come "a
this conclusion, that all the improve,
ment there is in the dairy COW is In the
extra feeding, and they have got Il
from such tests as reported, and that Is
not what they want. They want COW
to produce from pasture, and II they
can not see any Improvement on the
native COW Of twenty years ago from
the same care and feed, then they will
give the breeder no encouragement,
and at the same time will laugh at him
and tell him they want none Of his
stall-fed animals. Not until II can be
shown that there are cows which will
produce more butter Of better quality
on grass alone. will the general farmer
believe there is any improvement by
investing in such cows.-Eigin AdUo

Furtune.Telling That Turned Miners

lLeadville Democratl
"You can believe in fortune-telling or
not" said hard.headed mining man to q

perience of my own in that line that hap'
pened about eight months ago. Ihad been
down on my luck and had spent nearly all

When Should n Cow Go Dryl

There Is such thing as burning a
candle at both ends. One may easily
do this IN the dairy, and while the
"good, easy man" thinks he is making
good deal of light at the same cost,
suddenly his candle may 60 out. This
kind of thing may 60 on when one
milks the COWS up to the time Of calving
or near H. and even encourages it by
feeding il for that end. But then Il
may not. And it is the dairyman's busi-
ness to know all about it and take any
general rule for his guide. There Is
no rule without number OF exceptions,
and these are as numerous rs times,
places and circumstances; and as cir
cumstances alter cases, so the reply to
the questions we have put above de-
pends upon circumstances. There are
cows that will not 90 dry, but will milk
from calf to calf. Is the dairyman to
worry himself and the COW in useless
defiance Of her natural habitp BY
no means. He must suit his case
to the circumstances, and reduce
the milk yield as much as
possible by milking once q
day perhaps, and compensate the COW
for her extra burden by giving her
more feed up to safe limit. What this
limit may be depends wholly upon the
ability oi the COW to healthfully digest
and dispose Of the food. And no one
but the intelligent owner can say what
this limit may be, for IL will vary ~
cows vary, and no two cows are pro
cisely alike. As long as the COW is in
thriving condition, not losing flesh nor
making fat, the limit is not reached.
But a. rule, to be contracted and
expanded judiciously and safely, il
might be said that q COW should bo
dried off six weeks before she is due to
calye. That up TO that time she should
be literally fed in the usual manner;
that henceforth her food should be cur.
tailed or even changed 10 dry hay; and
II her condition is'reduced somewhat,
80 much the better. II will make Il
safer for her and the calf. The milk
ing may be done once q day, or not
wholly completed, leaving q little in
the udder. We have even taken little
milk several times day from COW In
this condition, with the effect of rapidly
drying the udder. But II Is o danger
Gus thing and one 30 be avoided, 10
leave any considerable quantity OF mix
in q cows udder at this time. The
