Some farmers consider certain marks
in COW as indicating her quality As a
mixer, but far better guide Is to
weigh her milk regularly. That tells the
story without any guesswork, and tells
what every owner ought TO know.
Horses chew 10 cuds, but cattle have
stolachs ("paunches") which they Us,
as storehouses for storing cold yitusls,
and then remAsticate them between times
at their leisure. For this reason, horses

There are 1916 cars built expressly fer
fruit transportation now engaged in car
rying California fruits to the eastern
markets, besides other cars pressed into
the service. Over twenty carloads are
sent east from Sacramento daily.
In an experiment made at the Massa.

Our food should contain all the ele-
ments of nutrition. White wheat bread
lacks the elements for growing and sus,
tanning the teeth and bones, for develop
ing and sustaining the hair, and for feed
ing and keeping the nervous system
healthy and active.
few flowers or plants in the house In
winter are very desirable when they eau
be kept and cared for without adding TO
the expense or injuring the health and
reducing the comfort OF the family; but
for q woman TO give way to this mania
and fill the house with such things TO
such an extent that the pleasures of home
are crowded out Is simply ridiculous.
Rice flour cruel is made by using one
tablespoonful Of rice flour, wet with a
little cold milk and then added to three
half-pints Of milk, or milk and water, and
cooking for about 10 minutes, favoring

many times very desirable and should be
carefully prepared by toastiug the bread
evenly and thoroughly, then pouring over

Some farmers forget that bitches can
