A Modern Lotus Tree.

People do not really know the Colo
RADIO desert. 1t has a flora and num-
Der of trees that horticulturists do not
suspect to be in existence. There is q
tree in the desert which people tell me
emits most fascinating and peculiar
smell---in fact the regular upas tree
story. They say that when man
comes under the influence of this at
tractive odor he is bound to be drawn
to it, and there he will stay until he
dies.
The singular part Of the story is that
women are not affected by the smell
only men, and | am told by my friends
who have prospected in the desert that
even males of animals are drawn to
the tree and there live to die under Its
baneful influence. San Francisco Let

How she Can ne Made tn Yield = sstis-
factory Income.
The quantity of milk aud butter that
can be secured during the winter de-
ponds largely upon the management
and care given the COWS Both milk
and butter sell at better prices during
the winter. and for this reason II proper
~ managed n better profit can bc real
lied In many localities moro profit
could be- realized by having some OF
the calves come in tho fall rather than
all in the spring as Is SO generally
done.
One Of the principal items In having
n good supply OF milk economically IL
to provide comfortable shelter With
all animals n certain quantity of food
is required To maintain animal life and
heat, and where no shelter is provided
more will he needed TO supply heat
than with good shelter. The excess
over and above what Is necessary TO
maintain life and heat goes into milk.
good mich cow Is rarely fat one,
Mt least while she is giving milk. and
both the quality and quantity arc af-
fccted by the kind and quantity of feed
rs well as the conditions under which
II is supplied. Tho difference in feed
ing COW through the winter, whether
she is dry or is giving n good flow of
milk is small IL she is fed SO rs TO keep
in good thrifty condition. while II she
can be managed so as to secure lib
eral flow OF milk there will be very
considerable difference in the profit.
Clover or millct hay is better than
timothy hay or corn fodder Wheat
bran Is good To increase the quantity,
but the COWS need cornmcal or oil meal
to make IL good feed for both quality
and quantity.
unthrashcd oats with wheat bran
make good ration for milk A good
plan of feeding is To run IL through a
feed cutter and thon add the bran,
dampening the whole and mixing that
thoroughly together. Bran and oil
meal can nearly always be used 10
good advantage in feeding the milch
cows, whether in winter or In summer;
but in nearly all cases In order TO So
cure the best results il will be ncccs-
sary to feed IL In connection with
something else. II pays To feed cows
literally; give what they will eat up
clean. This applies to rough feed n,

Cows need little II any exercise dur
Ing the winter. When the weather Il
mild and pleasant IL may be well
enough To turn them out for n few
hours during tho day. but when th.
weather Is cold or stormy II will be
better TO keep them confined under
shelter. They must be watcred regu-
larry ut least twice day. but i'm bad
weather this should be done with az
little exposure AS. possible.
Where IL is an object 10 secure the
