quickly. If the cellar is not unusually
damp, pies would be better kept there. on

DoughnutS should have an earthen jar
with cover, and one kept for them only.
MEATS should never be exposed to the
light whether they are cooked or I'M

be given them. 4 half-hours delay or

Dairy Notes.

a DAIRY school in every State would
revolutionize the dairy and creamery
business.
In these days the fascination of a
pure bred is not strong enough to
loosen the purse strings of business
man unless you show that great profit
may be had.
THE idea of diluting milk, set for
cream. with fifty TO sixty per cent. of
water is gaining Roadway in the practice
of go-ahead dairymen. Try it and see
how it works in your case.
WHEN your heifers come in, weigh
and test their milk for whole year, so
that you can tell without any guess
work which produce the most; and when
you have any to sell, always let the
poorest go.
LET your standard be solely the
amount Of product, and count as nothing
such immatcrial things as color or par
ticular markings, or fancied beauty of
form or features, for they will not pro-
duce butter, and, after all, ''hand-
some is that handsome does"
SLOWLY an idea is beginning to break
into the minds of dairy breeders and
dairy farmers that the dairy functions in
cattle are just as clearly the result of
careful and intelligent breeding and
subsequent care and handling, as are
the qualities of speed in horses or the
powers OF scent in hunting dogs.

THE STOCK RANCH.
Stock and Dairy Notes.

A PAIR of well-matchcd colts are
worth twice as much as two odd ones
And vet how few farmers pay any atten-
ton TO this in the breeding of their
mares.
IF colt has not yet been halter broken

twig is most easily bent and the youngest
animals are most easily brought under
discipline and training. This applies to
calves and heifers which should be edu-
Gated in early age TO all the practices of
the dairy.
THE value of silage is that one COW, if
not two, can be fed whole year from
the produce of one acre; the detriment
of pasture is that five acres of it keep a
COW only six months in a year.
REGULARITY in feeding animals is
especially needful for their thrift. When
the feeding time comes around. sheep
will bleat loudly for their food. and cows
and calves will worry. Worry wastes
flesh and food. So it is an economy to
observe regularity in feeding

Stop the Leaks.

As rule, the successful farmer is he
who practices wise economy and care
fully stops the leaks that would drain
away the substance of his earnings. The
elements are at work continually to scat
ter and destroy the products of industry,
and continued care and watchfulneSS
must be exercised to prevent waste in an
infinite variety of forms. Granaries and
cribs must be properly constructed to
prevent destruction of cereals by rodents
or storms. In feeding stock the prudent
farmer will exercise due care that waste
full methods do not rob him of large
share of his profits. The leaks and waste
of the manure pile should be stopped, to
the end that the fertility of the
farm may be kept up. The thoughtful
and economical man will note thousand
little leakages that may be prevented by
the exercise of timely care or caution.
III fact, judiciouS saving must go hand in
hand with industrious earning and pro-
ducing, to bring a full measure of sue
cess. Stop the leaks, and more than
half the causes of the present complaint

practices a successful method of Kidding
sheep of grub in the head. He feeds

strewed with air-slakcd lime. The sheep
in eating fill their noses with the lime,
which causes violent sneeZing, thus eX-

floor will be covered with grubs, which
should be destroyed. The use of this
