THE DAIRY,
Dairy Notes.


If one wishes to please his cows and
earn their gratitude and increase the
yield of butter let him give the cows a
peck of ripe apples sliced and mixed
with two Quarts of fine corn meal every
day at noon.
WHATEVER may be the low condition
of the general market the best quality of
butter is always In demand. Market
prices in their variations never affect the
highest quality. 1t is only the second
rate kinds that are drawn down by the
always excessive supply of the poorest
qualities:
WE have got to reach the keeping Of
n COW to every acre of cultivated land
before we reach the greatest possible
profit. The sooner We reach this the
better it will be, and then we may try to
do better if we can. And with this econ
omy Of feeding we must be ever striving
for increased yield by the improvement
of the dairy stock.
MUCH feed chn be saved through the
winter by d liberal use Of it now. All.
though the fine weather has kept UP the
pasture, it is not nearly SO nutritious as
in the summer, SO that some extra food
should be given now. A bit Of hay at
milking time with a quart or two Of
meal will keep up the flow of milk.
DEHoRNINa cattle is not supposed to
wholly change the nature of the animals.
There are vicious beasts which still re-
tain their natural vices, which however
are rendered less dangerous when the
hortls are removed. That one bull out
of many thousands may kill its. owner
ever after its horns are removed is nc
argument against a practice Which
renders ninty out of 100 practically
harmless.
DoN'T put ahy faith in methods Of i'm.
proving bad butter or cheese after it is
made. The right way is not to make
bad quality of either. 1t is better tc
keep out the imperfections than to take
them out, even if it were possible. But
it is not. The badness is in grain. II
may be covered up for q short time, by
various arts, but like the r%ottenness al
the core of u %fair-looking fruit, it viii
very soon become apparent, and worse
than at the beginning.
MUCH harm is done by the prevailing
unwise excitement in regard to diseased
milk. One of the Ohio inspectors, and
doctor (?) goes so far as to say that the
Jersey milk is made unfit for use, by the
pampering-as he calls it-of the COWS
the carding and brushing and the blank
citing of them, which he says makes their
subject to disease. This is strange tall
for a physician who would, or should a.
least, encourage the most perfect cleanli
ness and protection against cold ant
chills, which really are the most frequen1
causes of diseases in COWS.

Hints to Housekeepers.

To CLEAN knives, cut a small potatoe,
dip it in brickdust and rub them.
GREASE may be removed from silk by
applying magnesia to the wrong side.
KEEP the back, especially between the
shoulder blades, well covered; also the
chest we'll protected. In sleeping in q
cold room, establish the habit of breath
ing through the nose, and with the
mouth open.
LAMP BURNERS that have become dim
and sticky can be renovated by boiling
them in strong soda water, using a tin
tomatoe can for this purposes then scour
the burners with sapolio and they will
be as good as new.
KEEP your combs and brushes sweet
and clean. Wash them in tepid water
containing a few drops of ammonia. The
| grease and soil will disappear as it by
magic. Place the brushes bristles down
! to dry, and delicate celluloid handles will
not be injured.
For washing lace curtains and fine
laces, allow the articles to lie in borax
water for tw%enty-four hours, then
| squeeze out, not rub, through several
clear waters. Black cashmere, washed
ia hot suds, with a little borax added,
rinsed in very blue water, and ironed
while wet onthe wrong side, look ssa
good as new"

SIX N FAIL.
A Chain OF Kansas City and Oklahoma
Institutions Go Under.

A Chain OF Kansas City and Oklahoma
Financial institutions Go Under.
KANSAS CITY, Nov. 24.-An extensive
bank failure is reported here involving no
less than six financial concerns in the west.
They are all practically under one manage
ment. When Oklahoma was made a terri
tory the Newton National bank, Of Newton,
Kan, established the Commercial National
bank at Guthrie, with branches at Normal.
Elreno n Saltwater. The same bank had
a branch at Whitewater, Butler county,
Kan. About two months ago a run was
made on the Guthrie bank, but the Newton
bank went to the rescue with a special
train, carrying funds, and met all claims.
Since that time the credit of the whole
group of banks has been more or less i'm
paired. The Kansas City banks became
alarmed and withdrew their support.
Thursday the Newton bank was taken pos
session OF by the federal bank authorities.
Saturday the Guthrie bank suspended and
the Whitewater concern is in the hands of
the examiner. Nothing has been heard
from the Saltwater and Elreno banks. The
Newton National bank had a capital Of
S100,0 900 n a surplus of $40, 600. John
Reese was president and A. H. McClain
yice-president. The Commercial National
bank, of Guthrie, was the first bank in the
territory to ~nationalize. Its capital Is
$500, 900. The capital of the Whitewater
bank is $40, 600. The assets of the Newton,
Guthrie and Whitewater banks are believed
to BIZ equal to the liabilities,

Failure OF . Coal Firm.

PITrsBuRG, Nov. 2.-Thomas Fawcett &
Sons, one of tho largest Goa firms in the
city, assigned this morning. h liabilities
are estimated at $4,000. The members of
the firm say the assets will exceed this
amount by $4,000. The senior member Of
the arm, Thomas Fawcett, is president Of
the Central Bank. Judgments aggregating
100000 were entered by the Central bank
this morning, and all the property of the
firm levied upon to satisfy the claims. The
firm has been carrying a large amount of
paper, and for two months it has been
known that they were about to give up.
The failure will nave no effect upon the
Central Bank, as It is amply protected.
The failure is attributed to the long con-
tinned depression OF the river coal trade.

Live Stock Notes.
Ir ytu have not feed sufficient to keep
the pigs growing, some of them should
be sold.
Do YOU believe the health of a horse
largely depends upon the cleanliness Of
his skin?
IN purchasing q horse, always reject
one that Is not a good walker. 1t is an
important quality.
The failure to make sheep pay can, to
a considerable extent, be traced to fail
ure to give proper care.
In many cases it will pay to purchase
/ and feed bran, shipstuf and oil meal to
the growing pigs. 1t will be better and
cheaper than corn.
BLEMlsHEs, as well as diseases, arc
often transmitted to offspring, and for
this reason it is very important to have
the sire, at least, as perfect as possible.
RAISING plug horses for market rarely
pays. They cost as much to raise as the
better class and sell for much less. Re-
member this this fall when engaging a
horse for service.
IT is when prices are low and the mar
gin of profit is small, that it is important
to keep a close account with each class
of stock in order to determine which is
! the most profitable,

whom. to breed Fil1ier.

There is quite a difference in opinion
among breeders as to the proper time to
breeding fllies. We have had
considerable experience during the past
fifteen years in breeding mares, having
bred large numbers during that time,
both for ourselves and those who patron
lied the stations we kept for public
service.
We have always advocated breeding
the tillies at two years, if it is the inten-
ton to breed at all, as in our opinion
they will foal their first colt when three
years old with less danger to themselves
than when four or five years old, COR the
following reasons: the mare not having
so fully matured as at four or five years
old her bones and muscles are not so
firmly knit, hence will give more readily,
also the foal of the 3-year-old mare will
generally be smaller at birth, thereby
lessening the danger of the mare having
trouble.
We have never known O 3-year-old
mare to have trouble in foaling, although
we have known quite q number OF fine
mares being lost by not being able to
foal their first colt when five to seven
years old.
T~wo-year-old FLIES should not be bred
too early in the season; it would be bet
ter to have them foal in July than before
the grass comes in the spring, as they
will do far better if they can have a run
on grass q month before foaling.
We believe that mares that have their
first colts at three years make better and
more regular breeders, and in Jul opinion
the breeder who allows a good %2-year-old
to run over without being stinted to a
we'll bred, matured stallion is losing
valuable time.
We say breed the fillies to matured
stations, for in breeding horses, as with
all other kinds of stock, if young, i'm
mature females the stock will rapidly
degenerate into mere scrubs. National

Artificial Hatchine.

When once the farmer fully eompre-
hends the value of an incubator for rails
ing chickens for the market, few will be
without them. Properly handled, broiler
raising is very profitable, requiring q
moderate amount OF space within q
brooding-house and a few modest run to
successfully bring them up to that age
when you can ship to market. Success
depends upon tho care bestowed every
time-neglect is certain of failure; mark
this, and don't be foolish and think all
will lie sunshine, for it won't. A wise
head, methodical and economical, should
mean abundant success, and it will come
if you only say that it must. Determine
ton is a wonderful h~oisting-jack in up
holding tlis busy world of ours, and its
meaning must be well understood by
even the farmer among his flock of fowls.
Those who raise broilers must keep away
stray cats, rats and wandering dogs;
they all do sad work at times among
your chicks. Plenty of wire fencing will
be needed and all of ingress
from marauders closed up securely.
Those who do not wish to raise broilers
can keep a flock or hens for eggs protta-
bly, in a house 1Ox12 feet, and with good
handling find both profit and pleasure
the result of his labor, with but little
expense. If you do either, be in earnest,
waste no time, but do everything up
we'll, and you can't say poultry-keeping
is q failure, for it's false and can be
proven a success in a multitude of cases
