A Watch Would Snffloe.

Among the wealthy men residing in
this city is one whose liberality has made
him the prey Of the impecunious on moro
than one occasion. About year ago he
received a letter from a small town in
Ohio, saying: won't you please send
me your photograph I have heard of
you SO often that am very desirous of
knowing you better" The gentleman,
thinking that the applicant was getting
up some sort Of gallery, sent the photo
graph. A few months later he received
q letter, saying: ''The photograph was
received; am deeply obliged. would
like to have something more to remem-
Der you by. Couldn't you send me a
watch and chainl"
This lotter naturally met with no re-
eporse. A short time ago third letter
was sent, which said modestly: ~ sup

No doubt the traceries will tako pecu-
liar shapes sometimes. Perhaps the
brains of some young men, who died
young because they Were good, will show
markings closely resembling champagne
bottles, night keys and fast horses. The
tracings in the brain Of more than one
good bald headed deacon may assume the
graceful forms of ballet girls, the sight of
which made such an impression on him
when alive and in the front row of the
theatre. Shapes that closely resemble
beautiful cntrain and dccollete dresses
may be expected in tho craniums of so-
ciety bellies called hence in the midst OF
their triumphs. In the brains of re-
portcrs will be noticed many ghas;ly
family and public secrets which, out Of
reportorial goodness of heart, never were
given out TO the world. And so we
might continue al iniintum, but we re-
frain. This scientific investigation must
not be pushed further. a key that opens
mans secrets after he is dead might
not be such hilarious discovery after

Plows and Flowing.

The Home and Farm says: Prof. J.
w Sanborn, of the Missouri state agricult-
ural college, has issued bulletin giving
the results of experiments made by him. in
which he shows that as blowing is usually
done there is great loss of power, result
ing in either inferior work or overtaxing
the team, from the improper adjustment of
plows with reference to depth and width of
cut, improper adjustment of harness, the
use of Golfer of any form, and the non-use
of wheel or truck under the end of beam to
regulate the depth of furrow. The test of
draughts were made with the dynamome-
ter, previously tested for its correctness, and
its indications carefully noted, SO that the
results arrived at can be accepted as cor
rect.
Most farm harm esses have an extension of
the hip straps with a loop at the end.
through which the traces pass to hold the
latter in place when the team is unhitched.
This loop is about on direct line with trace
when the horses are hitched to a farm
wagon, but when taken from the
wagon and hitched to the plow, the double
trees are so much lower than when on the
wagon as to cause an angle in the trace from
where it passes through the supporting loop
to the whiffietree. Such conditions, he
found. caused serious increase in the
draught. The least draught is found
where the trace extends IN direct line from
its attachment at the hame to the center
of draught in the plow when adjusted TO its
best depth for working.
The use Of Golfer Of any kind also added
to the dreught, while the use Of wheel
under the boam-now fallen into disuse-
lessened materially the draught. Thus, as
a result of several tests, with and without
the truck or wheel, the following averages
were reached: Average draught per square
inch of furrow turned with wheel on 4.S7
pounds; without wheel, $50 pounds; per
cent of draught saved by use of wheel
AL. In the test of Golfers, the old and new
style knife and rolling Golfers we're used,
with the following results: Average
draught with Golfer on, per square inch of
furrow turned, 5.77 pounds; with Golfer off,
5. 80 pounds: loss by use of Golfer in per
cent. 1916, or about the same as the gain by
the use Of the wheel

Sterilized Milk.

Healthy milk, says the Sanitary Era,
as it comes from the breast of woman or
the udder of the COW is aseptic, but the readi-
ness with which it becomes impregnated
with germs and undergoeS fermentation is
we'll known. To rid it entirely of these
germs, milk is to be raised to boiling point
in small bottles; these to be then hermeti-
cally closed with rubber and glass shoppers,
and kept at 2l2' +. for twenty minutes,
when the milk becomes sterillzed. The
process is simply one of prolonged boiling
under pressure. Milk sterilized as above,
thirty minutes, remained good eighteen
days.
Milk boiled in small bottles for fifteen
minutes and, before removing from the
boiling water, closed with pledget of cot
ton, or with a tight rubber stopper, or with
good quality cork stopper, remained good
five days. Milk boiled in a pot, and put
into small bottles after cooling, and closed
with cork stopper, or VITA rubber stop
per, was sour after four days. This milk
was kept in temperature ranging from
so to TO- F.
When boiled in pot and left standing in
an open dish in a room with a tempera-
ture of rs F.; (al ordinary store milk had
distinct sour taste and smell after eight
hours; (b) good "bottle-milk" "turned" after
fifteen hours.
When boiled in pot and placed in an ice
box in an open dish: (a} ordinary store
milk turned" after eighteen hours; good
bottle milk "turned" after twenty six
hours
The boiling of milk in the ordinary way
is therefore evidently faulty. All milk for
infants and childrens use should be
boiled in small bottles in a water;
bath for twenty minutes, and per-
fectly sealed, when it will keep much longer
than if boile1 in the ordinary way and the
usual length of time.
But milk often comes contaminated from
the cow. Prof. J. w. Robertson, of the
Agricultural college at Guelph, Ontario,
says: / have examined milk under the
miscroscope, and found therein microbes
that had been taken into the system of the
cows through the water which they drank.
An essential condition for the production of
good milk is that the COWS be kept fcee
from all foul odors. Several years ago a
case came under my notice where the milk
from a farmer owning some twenty-five
cows. was rejected at the cheese factory. |
visited his farm, Travelled over his pasture,
and found the putrid carcass of horse
The carcass was buried at once, and no
further trouble was experienced with the
milk. Cows confined in stables, if overfed.
will have indigestion, with all its accom-
panying disagreeable odors, which will be
impaired to their milk faint may also be
impaired from the vessels used by the milk
ers, but oftener from their hands. When
in Denmark, two years ago, l took some
pains to study the methods Of an excellent
farmer, who keeps no less than $50 cows in
one stable One of the regulations of the
stable was that every mixer should wash
his hands after milking two COWS.

have thus far endeavored TO give the
values of manure that in feeding or in
purchasing the readers may be better en-
abled TO purchase according to its value.
Now, will give you few hints as to the
management Of manure:
By fermentation the water aud carbon is
decreased, while the amount of nitrogen
and mineral salts remains the Same. The
manure, therefore, contains larger pro
portion of these substances and more nitro
gen in an available form. Besides being
smaller in bulk, another important advan-
tage of fermenting manures is in their me-
chanical texture and degree of pulveriza-
ton. Experience has proven that where
manure is pulverized into powder it will
produce an effect upon the subsequent crop
five times as great as the ordinary operation
of manure. But in composing manure
great care must be used, or the heat will
become too great and it will fire fang, or
get too wet and cool off and stop the fer
mentatiou

brush, arranged in the corner of the yard,
will answer the purpose
Do you want something to cover fence,
or clubhouse, or to Chamber about a window
or porch? Then you can find nothing bet
ter than the morning glory. The scarlet
bean is bright and snowy, and some of the
running gourds can be used quite satisfac-
.torily to cover stumps and summer houses.
The cutting box saves waste of food All
food should be cut, which better enables the
farmer to mix it with ground grain, and
thereby rendering it more palatable. All
provender fed in this uncut condition is sub
ject to loss Much of it is thrown on the
floor and trampled, while portions will be
uneaten. The saving of food will more than
pay for the labor of cutting 1t.
The use of cottonseed or linseed meal as
food for stock should begin gradually. One
gill per day is sufficient the first week. 1t
may be increased until from one to two
pounds are given per day. The quantity
allowed should be regulated according tC
the proportion of other food used, the con
centrated foods being used to balance that
which may be partially deficient in some
desirable element.
There should never be any necessity for
killing weeds, as they should not be allowed
TO grow. The frequent use of the harrow
and cultivator will destroy them in their
early STAGE as they are then very tender and
cannot withstand disturbances of the soil
If allowed to become we'll rooted, however
a large amount of labor will be required tC
do what can be done with ease Just after
the weed seeds terminate.
Yellow is color that gives tone to all
other colors. If you gather bouquet in
the garden, and do not include bit of vel
low, it often seems to lack brightness. Add
a yellow rose, or a spray of calliopsis. or q

that which takes place in landscape when
a burst of sunshine breaks through the
clouds which have been hanging above it.
There is an instant suggestion of warmth.
