FARM MANAGEMENT.
What Is Required to Make the Fax m
Yield "A Profit.

Yield Profit.
The majority of farmers recognize
the fact that under present conditions
1t requires good management to mako
the farm yield profit. In fact, every
advantage must be taken to lessen the
cost of production, not only with tho
crops but with the stock; and any
stock kept that fails With proper man
agement to return fair profit lessons
the general average. To certain ex-
tent, at least, cows are a necessity on
every farm, the number being largely
dependent upon the plan of farming
followed, While during the summer
they can thrive very well upon pastur-
age, and during the winter, II well
sheltered, can be kept in very good
condition largely upon roughness, yet
both the pasturage and the winter
feeding cost something, and they must
bring return either in milk or calves
or both to pay fair profit on the cost
of keeping and on the capital invested.
With nearly all kinds of stock, if good
care is taken, the manure that can be
secured should be sufficient to pay for
their keeping, so that the value of tho
feed and the interest on the money
invested, with the risk, should be
the cost of keeping. How many cows
are kept on the farm year after year
that do not pay this cost? The value
of the feed and the interest Is the same
whether profit is returned or not.
To have a part of the cows returning
no profit is to lessen the per cent, on
the whole number, and the sooner the
Improbable ones are culled out the
better for the farmer. If the calves
are of sufficient value to pay a reason
able profit for keeping the cows and
the COW brings good calf every year,
| this will answer; but in the majority
of cases the calf is not of sufficient
value to do this, and something must
be made from the milk in addition.
Where every item must be taken adj
vantage of in order to secure the best
profit, it will pay to test every COW,
determining the value of the calf when
weaned and also the quality and quan.
tity of milk she will give, and after
fair test all that do not show fair
per cent of profit should be marketed.
1t is important to get rid of all I'M
profitable COWS, sheep, horses or hogs,
as every day an animal is kept that
cannot be made to pay fair profit is
that much taken from the farm in
come, 1t may seem small item to
ascertain whether one COW is paying
or not, but on the farm it is the atten-
ton paid to what may be considered
the details that largely determine the
aggregate profits And even small
profit is preferable to positive loss. =

general rule may be adopted, subject
to much variation with the different

FASHIONS FOR WOMEN.

Mod, icatlon of the Elongated Basque to
Suit Short Women.
A modish com bination is jet, gold
and blue, and the defining of seams
either with some sort of trimming or
with simply piping is an eccentricity
of fashion that seems to be increasing
in popular favor. The piping of the
skirt seams was one of the, late novel
ties of the spring and summer which
appears as a fixed fashion among the
autumn modes. The outlining of the
seams of the coat bodice in different
ways is not new, but the com bination
of the bodice finished in this fashion
with the skirt ornamented in the same
way, forming a costume having every
seam trimmed, is one of the leading fall
styles. The trimming of all the seams
excepting those on the shoulders Of
close fitting street garments is also
very popular.
The rich and handsome demi- season
jacket is of electric blue armure royale
with a plated basque of black ch.ntilly
lace. The seams and all the yozes are
defined with a jet gallon and gold cord
Lozenges formed of clustering jets,
placed at regular intervals, ornament
the sleeves, which are finished at the
wrist with broad bands of irridescent
jets A cincture of the same material
finishes the bottom of the bodice where
it joins the basque of lace and also
forms the high band collar of the neck.
Wired epaulettes of black chantilly
lace finish the shoulders.
The elongated basque bodice or coat
is now modified to meet the require
ments of short women. The fronts are
almost entirely cut away to show a
closely fitted waistcoat this often OF
fienly lowered satin. 1t is variously
shaped to suit the figure of the wearer. l,

PRUNING TIMBER TREES.

Hints for Those Intending to Make Arti-
fetal Plantations.
An inquirer who intends to plant a
timber belt to shield his crops, and at
the same time to raise what may be-
come in future valuable for timber,
wishes to know if it will not be neces-
sary to keep the trees well trimmed to
prevent the growth of side limbs for
future timber trees. The answer to
this inquiry will be, keep the trees
standing near together, so as to shoot
up erect and the shade will prevent
the growth of side branches along up
the trunks, and trees naturally
trimmed by this process will have the
work better done than can be per-
formed by the knife, saw or AK The
shaded side limbs will stop growing,
die, and after awhile drop from them,
leaving little or no stumps; while by
doing the work artiicially scars and
stumps can hardly be avoided, which
eventually will make quite differ
ence in tho value of the timber. Some
Judgment and skill will be required in
planting the young trees at proper dis
tances to effect this purpose. Young
trees must of course stand nearer to-

VALUE OF CREAM.

1t Is Seriously Affected by Quality. Age
and Condition.
The proportion of butter fat in milk
varies according to the breed and the
mode of feeding the COW. Most authors
ties on the subject give it at from zoe
to 600 per cent, says the Rural Cana
dian. In respect to the amount OF
cream required to make pound OF
butter, authorities differ. 1t is geuer.
ally accepted that one quart of cream
will yield one pound of butter. But
this is a high average, and depends
greatly on the quality of the cream and
how and when it has been gathered
and what condition it is in when put
into the churn. If it has been simply
SKINNED from the milk in the ordinary
way, it will contain a large amount of
milk that has no business to be in it.
If it has been gathered by a cream sep
arator it will be of higher value for
butter-making, 1t is ON record that IL
ounces of butter have been obtained
from one quart of cream gathered in
the ordinary way. AS a general rule
one may expect to get quart OF cream
from twelve quarts of milk. But
where the cows are well bred and of
breed that yields high percentage of
butter fat, much larger proportion of
cream will be given. But there Is no
cream rich enough to give more than
one pound of butter to one quart of
cream. The average yield may be
stated at 10 per cent. of cream to
milk given by the cow Il at. to g. In
some trials, years ago, it was shown
that the average quantity of milk re-
quired to produce one quart of cream
varied from one quart of cream from
eight quarts of milk to one from twelve
quarts, the average being one quart cf
cream to ten of milk.

Pillow Shams.

Whoever has waited valuable mo-
ments in attempting to keep pillow
shams in their places will appreciate a
simple device which holds them in posi-
ton and gives very little trouble in the
adjusting. On the back of the shams,
at each of the upper corners, sew a bit
of narrow tape disgonally across the
corner. When the shams are put over
the pillow, pull a little corner of the
pillow case up through this tape-loop.
Nothing further is necessary, and the
shams will stay in their places unless
some more than ordinary means dis
turbs them This is much more simple
and convenient than the various bars,
frames and riggings to which many
housewives think themselves compelled
to resort.-N. Y. Ledger.

A New Kind of Rubber.

A new description of rubber, to which
the name of rathite has been given, is
now made in England, It had been
found that pure rubberis unsuitable fer
many purposes on account of it's great
elasticity. For instance, railway buff
ers, if made of the pure material, are
too soft to withstand the great crashing
force often brought against them
Cycle tires, also, if too elastic, are apt
to stretch off the rim of the wheel in
spite of all attempts to fasten them by
means. of cement. The usual mode of
counteracting the superintendent elias
ITCHY of rubber goods and at the same
time reduce the cost'of production is to
add mineral powders, such as chalk or
metallic oxides, litharge, zinc, etc. The
new material, which supersedes all
such combinations, is said to consist of
pure rubber combined with the usual
proportion of sulphur to effect vulcani-
zation) and silk fiber in finely divided
state. The result is an article which
appears well adapted for all purposes
where toughness and durability are de-
sired rather than an extreme elasticity
