BclirJif of CrpUInerieS.

The last Maine crop bulletin issued
by the state board Of agriculture has
this to say about the establishment
of creamerieS.
farmers living within the circuit reach
ed by the cream gatherer refuse to co
operate.
Wherever creameries have been eS-
tablished any length of time, improve
ments are reported. The fields yield
heavier crops, the buildings are made
more attractive, and those unnlistak
able signs of thrift are noticed. Those
come as the natural result of systematic
dairying. Another important fact
noted is that so large Il per cent of
operate or sell their creac, but contin-
ne in the beaten track Of old time meth
eds. 1t needs but Il glance to satisfy
the most Credulous that where sixty Fer
cent stay out the expenses are materi-
ally increased. If every one should
unite the profits for all would be mater
tally increased.

Speaking the Truth.

The perfect confidence between
mother and child which should exist
vii not continue if the child finds
that the mothers promise or threats
are unfulfilled. If child is told that
unleS he sits still while guests are
rresenthe will be punished when they
are gone. and then that is usually not
done as promised. or as is often the
case the punishment is deferred until
the promise is forgotten, the offenders
will naturally SSoon form habit of dis
obedience which it is almost impossible
TO break. There is a criminal habit
Of affiNing a penalty for wrong-doing
which is lily proportional to the Of
Tense. For example: If you do SO
and so / will cut off your ears or the
like. done with the intention of enf0rc
ing instant obedience, is apt TO lead
to just the opposite effect. Besides de
stroying the confidence of children in
the parent they soon diverge further
and further from uuthfulnesS. and say
and do things which they know to be
wrong. without rejecting on the conse-
puences. No one, especially mother

4 S0iling Experiment.

At the Iowa station an experiment.
was made with six ShOrthorn COWS
which lasted from June 20 to Sept. %
The object was to compare Stall-fcCding
on green fodder with good bluegrass
pasture During the first half of the
experiment lot 1 dhrce cows was
harmed and lot > was pastured, and
during the last half this was reversed
At all times each lot received like
grain ration. The bluegrass pasture
was one Of the best in the state, with
ample shade and running water. The
soiling consisted ut different times of
green oats and peas, oats and clover, or
fodder, corn and clover fed at ibitum
Owing to the period of laCtation, lot /
Increased i'll milk While in the stable
and lost Very fast as soon as they We're
heavily on pasturage and gained in
milk rs soon as they were put on green
feed. The indications from this eXper-
inent are: The average COW when
kept in the stable will eat about sew
cnty-fivc pounds of green feed day
with grain ration addad.
Cows fed on oats and peas or clover
and corn, fed green in the stable in
midsummer, will give more milk than
when feeding on a good bluegrass pas
ture.
A COW fed on green feed in stable
darkened and ventilated will gain in
weight more than she will in Il we'll
shaded pasture.
The cow responds as promptly to II
well-balanced ration Of grain while
eating green feed as she does on dry
feed

Inc0rrigibly Friendly.

Charles Kingsley tells the story as
a veritable fact Of two hermit monks
who had lived together in closest
friendship for years in the same cave
with never thought Of euvey orself-
ish rivalry in the mind of either. At
last it occurred to them to try the eX-
pertinent of Il quarrel. after the com
mon fashion of the outside world
But how shall we Quarrel:" asked one.
90" said the other, Eve can take this
brick and put in between us and each
can claim it: then We'll quarrel over
it, And that was agreed on as the
plan. This brick is mine" said the
one''I hope it is mine - said the 9th
err gently. We'll, if it is yours take it. :
said the other, who could never hear
his friend express a wish for thing
without having Il desire to secure it
to him accordingly. So that quarrel
was faillre-because the friendship
was not.

The DARN.

If one means to establish Il dairy
which is to endure for a long time, and
to constantly grow better and more
profitable, the only way to proceed is to
breed and raise your own animals The
model dairy COW today is very largely
the product of the breeders art and the
special qualities for which she is want
ed may be still further developed and
intensified by the same means that
have been used to bring her to this
stage. By the continual use of bulls of
the best dairy families, and by the
careful selection and feeding of the
calves the productive capacity Of the
herd may be improved from year to
year and there is practically no limit to
what may be accomplished; but the
dairyman who depends upon replenisll-
ing his herd by purchasing when
necessary, and turning off his stock to
the butcher when it's nsefulneS in the
dairy has passed, can never hope for
anything more than Il fair average of
mixers, and will find that, instead Of
progressing steadily, the production Of
his dairy is subject TO sharp and sudden
fluctuations.

FARM AND HOME.
farm NOTES.

Late cucumbers usually make the
best pickles.
No animals except possibly the sheep
returns more than the sheep for the
food given.
Old sound hay, and liberal ration of
oats with a very little corn is hard to
beat for the farm work team.
Lime is the best absorbent that can
be used in the poultry yard and house.
1t destroys bad odors and destroys dis
ease germs.
Keep a strict record of feed bills
egg records and sales Of poultry. and
the end of the year sum up. 1t vii
prove that keeping hens pays.
The policy of taking everything
from the land and adding nothing to it
will eventually result in bankruptcy.
10 matter how good the crops may be
for a while.

The HessidH ETy.

The Hessian fly is the greatest of
cur wheat pests and should be com
batted by every available means.
Wherever it has appeared this season
the wheat stubble should be burned af-
ter the grain is harvested and the eggs
then destroyed. A small piece of
wheat sown early will often attract flies
and they will go there and deposit their
eggs before the main crop comes up.
This may then be either burned or de
stroyed by blowing deeply. And a
good seed bed with liberal manuring
will usually send the young plants
ahead so rapidly that the insects can
do much damage

The use Of electricity for shunting
cars at stations has been proposed by
Herr Brettman, of the Prussian state
railroads. He believes that by employ
ing electric carstans, and in some cases
motor cars. the cost could be made
much less than by locogotives. In his
experience, 10 per cent. of the total
cost of train service has been spent on
shunting.
