MUST GO TOGETHER.
To BE Successful Creamery Must Have
Intelligent Patrons.

We often hear sharp criticism in
dulged in by creamery men against
their patrons and by patrons against
creamery men. 1t has been our OBJ.
servation quite often that the criticism
was well deserved both ways. But we
wish to assert bedrock principle that
knows no exception: 1t is impossible
to run a poor creamery when the
patrons are well posted in dairying.
They simply won't have it The poor
creameries and cheese factories can
continue to exist only when the patrons
do not know what is due them. The
other day we read the report of
creamery at Geneva, ILL.,, and it did us
good to note what a splendid combine
ton in society a lot of intelligent
patrons and good creamery can make.
There are sixty patrons. and they de-
1ivered last year 5,737,757 pounds of
milk, which produced 24O. 797 pounds of
butter, an average of 4.35, or trifie
over AZ pounds of butter to 100 pounds
Nf milk. The amount received for the
butter was 500, 039.23.
One of the hest proofs of the intelli-
g>uce of the patrons is found in the ex-
cellent quality of their milk. That is
an old dairy section around Geneva,
and the dairymen there have learned
that it don't pay to have poor COW or
to keep good one poorly. Evidently
taey have long since discarded the idea
that lots of milk without reference to
its quality was the thing in creamery
or cheese factory. So MANY farmers
have that important lesson yet to learn
1t must be a pleasant task to run a
creamery with such a lot of well-posted
dairy farmers for patrons.

How to Feed and When to Feed Told in
Concise Way.

Concise Way.
How TO FEED.-For cattle, the roots
should be cut, to avoid choking. Horses
will eat them with safety without
Sheep should have tham cut fine, by
pulper. and fed in troughS. Cattle may
have them sliced or pulpcd and fed in
Manager, with or without mill feed on
them, two or three times day, or, as
some prefer to cut dry feed. straw, hay,
or cornfodder. Have two bins put in
cut feed to the depth of eight or ten
inches, sprinkle on water to dampen
and a sprinkle of salt. then tramp down
tight, then put on a layer of pulped
roots and layer of cut feed and roots as
before. and SO on, as many as you like,
until you have enough for one days
feeding. Let this stand until the next
day when it will be quite warm for
feeding that day, and as you take it out
it mixes together. If you want to feed
meal or bran throw it on top of it, in
the Manager. then ill the other bin for
next day, as before, each bin standing
over night to ferment which is relished
greatly by cattle.
WHEN TO FEED.-When your stable
is warm so that manure will not freeze,
or the weather is warm, as cattle are
not benefited by roots if they stand in
the cold after eating them. Neither DO
they require much water, if they have
three peclls or one bushel a head per
day. In cold weather, if turned out of
stable one hour in the middle of the
day, for drink and exercise, it is suf-
fcient. Cows milking, should be MIXED
before feeding turnips, as milking after
tends to give the butter taste of the
turnip with some cows. If it does,
drop pinch of saltpeter in the bottom
of the pan and strain the milk on it,
which destroys all turnip flavor, and
is perfectly healthful. Some put a
little in the churn before 'churning in-
stead.-H Williams, in Ohio Farmer.

sea, and in appearance not unlike the

Now comes the most singular part of
the story: Place the little animal under

running all about and around the ball
apparently in search of anything of a
foreign nature, which, should he find,
he will seize and come out OF the eye;
evidently satisfied with having per
formed his duty.
Stranger still, the thing remains life

little vinegar, whereupon it begins to
jump about, signifying its willingness
to work
Although the thing resembles the halt

A READY-MADE HOUSE.
Wherein the Ants Find Food and Lodgin.
AllPrepared.

Wherein the Ants Find Food and Lodging
AlIPrepared.
Travellers tell us that it is not un.
common in the tropics to see a double
line of ants stretching from their hill
across and open space and up some tree
trunk. One-half the ants are toiling
homeward under heavy burdens of leaf
fragments, the other half are hurrying
toward the source of supply.
The ants make two-fold use of the
leaves-they eat the soft, green parts
they use the harder, woody parts, the
veins and stalks, as the supporting
columns of their hills. From such
systematic labor more or less complete
defoliation of the tree results. Against
these marauders, therefore, some de.
Tense must be provided, and to this end
certain plants are furnished with the
means to attract, to hold, and to impel
the honey-eating ants to fight for them
In tropical America there grows the
tall, somewhat palm-like tree, called
by the natives the imbauba, and known
to botanists as cecropia adenopus. It
is rather slender: it's hollow stem.
divided like the bamboo into chambers
or joints is crowned with large tender
leaves, which are very attractive to
caterpillars and to leaf-cutting ants.
The contour of the hollow stem is
smooth and even, except that lust
below each point in the outer surface
of the stem there is depression which
corresponds with a similar depression
on the inner surface. A thin place is
thus formed so each chamber is sepa-
rated from the outside world by wall
that is thin only in one spot. ThfenSsl
the thin place friendly ants bore readily,
and soon find themselves in cavity of
considerable size. Within this chamber
they establish a colony. The house
grows with the number of its occupants
SO that the whole colony is never
obliged to seek larger quarters. In this
way perfect shelter, easy of access, is
provided ready made for the ants.
The imbauba furnishes food as well
as lodgings to these ants. At the bases
of the leaf stalks, amid clusters of hairs,
are formed many small, egged-shaped,
albuminous bodies These are the solid
food of the ants. Upon various parts of
the tree are glands which secrete nectar
All ants are extravagantly fond of
honey, and they will get it wherever
they can. Flowers are the commonest
source of nectar, but its purpose in them
is to attract the bees, butterflies, and
even birds which transfer the pollen to
the pistils, and so fertilize them. Ants
cannot fertilize most flowers, SO their
taking the nectar would be mere rob
berry. The floral hectares must there
fore be protected. This protection is
effected by the feeling hectares being
situated between the flowers and the
tree trunk. The ants get enough honey
from these extra floral hectares to
make them willing to let the Others
alone. Natures Realm.

CARING FOR FRUIT.
some of the Advantage Incident to tho
Use of an Evaporation.

| Use of an Evaporator.
With all products it is an item not to
allow any to go to waste. So far as
possible, arrangements should be made
so that when crop is ready to harvest
it can be saved in good season, and
with fruit this is fully as important as
with any other product. To do this to
the best advantage it is always best to
make necessary arrangements in adj
vance, as there is almost certain to be
waste, and whatever is wasted is that
much taken from the possible profits.
Whenever there is a full crop of fruit
there is always more or less that can
not be marketed to an advantage. In
nearly all cases what cannot be sold or
used can be evaporated or dried and
stored away for use later on, and in
this way be converted into a marketa-
BILE product.
One advantage in using the evaporation
is that the work can go on irrespective
of the weather, and there is much less
risk of loss than in drying, while, if
the work is properly done the quality
of the product is much better and will
sell for better prices.
In showery weather it is no little
work to get fruit properly dried in the
sun, but with an evaporator the work
can 60 right along and as the majority
of early fruit is perishable it is best to
manage as far as possible to take care
of it as fast as it ripens. Nearly all
varieties of small, as well as tree fruits,
can be evaporated and used in the fam
lily during the winter or marketed to
good advantage. Raspberries and
blackberries especially make an excel
lent fruit evaporated Cherries plums,
pears, peaches, apricots and apples can
be evaporated to a good advantage,
and what is used in this way will help
lessen the quantity that must be sold.
The second grade of fruit can be used
for this purpose, insuring better price
for what is sold, and at the same time
lessening the waste. Evaporated fruits
sell at a better price than the sun-dried,
and, as less work is required, can readi"
ly be made more profitable. Louis

ABOUT PARASOLS.

The Correct Thing for the Current Season.
The parasol is always an important
adjunct to summer gown. 1t must be
becoming, for it is the movable back
ground, and you can not afford to have
for it a color that does not absolutely
suit you and your general style. Chit
fon, tulle, silk and cotton are all in
vogue; but for the woman who only
proposes to get one l would advise a
silk one of medium size, with handle of
natural wood, on which the silversmith
has put some of his sterling metal The
gold and silver handles are not consid-
cred good form. A drawn parasol of
black dotted net is suitable for use with
black lace gown: but in choosing this
be sure that the net is good quality,
or else it will grow brown and rusty
looking. The beautiful white, blue,
rose and lavender chiffon parasols are
only proper for use in carriages, and
can not be commended to the general
woman. The red silk parasol, almost
as large as a sun umbrella, is fancied
by women who like the ardent color for
use with cotton frocks. But a golden
brown, dark blue, or black one lace
trimmed, will be found, after all, the
most useful and the one that does not,
by its trying tone, affect your com
plexion or your hair.
With your cloth costume carry sun
umbrella that when not in use, may be
daintily strapped until it looks as slen-
der as possible. An elaborate parasol
with tailor-made gown looks as out of
place as would soup and ice-cream
served ogether.-Ladies' Home Jour

First get stake, the height you

distances and put in pegs about six
inches long, on top, and then gradually
longer downwards. Then take hoops

and nail one around the bottom pegs,
and others in spiral manner up to-
wards the top, as shown at the left of
