HOW TO DRINK MILK.

bne Glassfui Gives More Real Strength
Than Barrel OF Beer.
Don't swallow milk fast and in such
pig gulps. SIP 1t slowly. Take four
minutes at least TO finish that glassful.

looonful at one sip,
When milk goes into your stomach Il
instantly curdled. II you drink
.arge quantity at once, IL Is curdlsd in
q one big mass. on the outside of which
,nly the juices of the stomach can work.
II you drink 1t in little sips, each little
nip is curdlcd up by itself, and the whole
ylassful lnaiIy finds itself in loose
ump made up of little Jumps, through,
around ana among which the stomach's
juices may percolate and dissolve the
whole speedily and simultane ,usly.
Many people, Who like milk and know
is value a. a strength-giver, think they
san not use IL because IL gives them in
digestion. Most OF them could use 1t
freely II they would only drink 1t in the
way have described, or IL they would,
better still, drink it hot. Hot milk
seems To lose good deal of its density:
you would almost think il had been
waJered; and IL also seems to lose much
of its sweetne ), which Is cloying 20
some appetites.
IL the poor only knew and appre-
siated the value of milk taken in this
way, | am sure there would not be so
much beer-drinkinR among them. There
are thousands OF hard-working scrub
women. wash-women. factory girls and
syen shop girls, in this city, who drink
beer with their meals because IL gives
q little stimulant to their tired bs dies,
and don't understand that il is only like
applying whip TO weary horse, In
stead of giving him oats. II they only
knew, they would find in this simple

During the dry seasons of the past few
years, theorists insisted that we were tear
ing up the roots of the corn with the COM
mon cultiVator. A lot of surface tool-head
plows were promptly put into the market,
and articles written to fit the plows, in
sidewalk newspapers. Where the land
was perfectly clean no harm resulted and
weeds have been easily handled during the
past few years. 1t was soon discovered
that the weeds could not be covered with
the little tooth. and many of them have
been cast aside Now, we have abundant
rains and abundant weeds 1t is a fight
this year everywhere. Land that was

Sheep in summer.
Farmers Call

Sheep Is a class of stock that all through
the growing season can be kept in a coed
condition if provided with good pasturage:
and ordinarily there Is no cheaper feed, so
long As it can be secured. than grass Yet
because they will live and thrive on grass
alone is not a sufficient reason for turning
them into a pasture and letting them 90
They need more attention IN order to give
the best results at the present time. Cheap
feeding is one important item. yet it is not
good economy to start the feed or the care
to that extent that the sheep are not kept
in good condition.
1t Is true that sheep will live in pasture
where almost any other class of stock would
starve; yet in such place the growth,
either in weight or wool would hardly be
profitable.
As with all other stock. one item in feed
ing sheep economically is to have them
comfortable In winter this implies
comfortable shelter where they can keep
dry and warm. In summer sheep need
good shelter from the sun as well as from
therain. Sheep suffer considerably from
the heat. and a good shelter will add ma
terialIy TO their comfort. If there are no
shade trees in the pasture, cheap shed
for this purpose should be constructed.
Plenty of water Is another item of con-
siderable importance. Sheep must have
all the water they want whenever they want
il. and the water supply should be so ar
ranged that they can help themselves. Salt
should be supplied In the same way Fore
ing them TO do without salt sno then Civ
ing them all they want is often very in
furious. Ifthey are not properly supplied
with it they viii not make a good growth
OF wool
Plenty of grass with shelter. and plenty
of salt and water are essentials In keeping
sheep comfortable during the summer II
these are provided they can keep in good,
thrifty condition. It is when the price
for any product Is low that it Is m ST i'm
portant TO give that article Those who
are deriving fair profit from sheep now
are those who feed and care for their
sheepin such manner As TO keep them

of wool making the work profitable.

fancies seem as ripe and robustas they did
