CONS IN WINTER.

Feed to a considerable extent deter
mines the quality and quantity of the
milk and butter. 1t does not pay to
keep a COW on halt ~rations and hardly
get a good milking at any time daring
the winter. In most cases both the milk
and butter are Of more value during the
winter than at any other time, and
generally enough more to make it worth
while to give the cows good treatment
during the winter. They must be fed
enough to live, at least, and they ought
to have enough to keep them thrifty, as
there is nc advantage in letting them
run down during the winter and then be
Obliged to take the best part of the
spring to make up what has been lost.
A little additional feed will not only
keep them thrifty, but in many cases in-
sure a good flow of milk, and this i'm
plies a profit rather than a loss, as is so
often the case when the COWS are fed on
the plau of barely keeping them alive
through the winter.-St. Louis Repub.

The latter's parents, Jerome II. Scott

but pinch off all buds, that the strength
of the plant may be concentrated in the
roots, in order to produce a new, vigor-
Gus growth Of branches.
In choosing the windows for plants
during the winter those Y it'll gay-colored
blossoms need all the sunlight they can
have, and for them a south window is
the best. A southeast window is the
next most desirable, then a western
window, while a north light is worst of
all.
There are a few plants, like pansies,
primulas and corneiias, that like the shade
aud thrive in northern light, aud a north
ern window is useful to place blooming
plants in from time to time, thus pro-
longing the short l;fe of the sprays OF
flowers.
The best success in indoor plant growth
comes from a uniform tenn perature OF
fifty to sixty degrees at night and from
sixty to seventy-6ve degrees during the
day. A higher temperature is only needed
by seini-tropical flowers.
Plants not only need q cooler tempera-
ture in the night, but also darkness, AMI
it is neglect of this fact that is one of
the causes of the lanky growth of house
plants. Shield plants with newspapers
In the evening if the gas in the room IS
lighted. The paper will keep both heat
and light from the plants.
Another cause of spindling growth is
| lack of air. Plants shut up in the house
get sensitive, and are liable to suffer il
there is a sudden fall in temperature,
but if they are given plenty of fresh air
daily, unless the day is very lnclement,
the plants will thrive and be sturdy.
Do not open a window directly OF
plants in winter weather, but rather let
the fresh air filter in more gradually
through a distant door or window.
Plants il windows should be turned
ence or twice a week. A fue form,
which is half the beauty of a plant, eau
not be attained without this. Plants
should also be shielded from the dust
which arises in sweeping and busting
rooms.
A newspaper is suitable to prevent the
settling of dust over them, but this care
is not enough. Each plant must be
washed thoroughly and frequently tc
keep its pores ~unclogged, for plants
breathe through them. They cannot
grow if their means of inhaling carbon
and exhaling oxygen is taken from them
Showering plants over a tub or sink is &
good way to remove duet, hut hold tht
plant sidewise, SO both sides of tn,
leaves Will be reached by the water.
Large plants which cannot be easily
moved should have their leaves washes
gently with a sponge on both sides

APPLE BUTTER FOR MARKET.

Why do not farmers who have large
mount of apples that do not pay for
drawing long distances to market try the
plan of turning some Ct the surplus into
apple butter? 1t requires considerable
labor, as it is a branch of manufacture;
but the farmer who has invested labor
in this way is surer to get pag for 1T
than be is for most Of his WORK on the
farm. As far as possible the farmer
should put the product of his farm in
the form where it will bring him most
money. and if he thereby turns his farm
at some seasons into a factory he may be
none the less prosrerous.-Ney York

AN ELECTRIC INCUBATOR.

A novelty in the Matching Of eggs has
appeared in the shape OF an electric IL
cubator. The special feature OF this
machine is that the heat of the egg
drawer is automatically regulated to the
fiftieth part of a degree Fahrenheit. 1t
consists of a tank incubator, heated by
radiation from the bottom of a water
tank, which is constructed On the multi
tubular system. When the egg drawer
reaches the temperature Of 1O4 degrees
Fahrenheit an electric thernostat con-
meets q dry battery with an electro-mag-
net which a~ctuates a damper, allowing
the heat to escape through the open air
instead of passing through the tues of
the water tank. This entirely automat-
ic device is said to effect a saving of
thirty per cent. in the fuel used for heat
ing.-Boston Transcript.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Hens that are crowded will not lay,
Hens will not lay when shive7ing with
cold.
Do not change all the old hens for
young pullets.
Dispose of any old hens you do not
wish to winter.
The size of the sheep should be gagged
to suit the pastures.
Cornmeal and bran with milk is a
good feed for ducks.
The manure from the pig is valuable
in proportion to the food consumed.
Use nothing but pure bred males, no
matter how your locks may be made up.
Fruits and flowers have been rightly
called "chlldren of the light woven from
sunny air."
Bear in mind that the sooner the hens
pass the moulting season the sooner they
begin laying.
Do not risk too many focks together.
Small focks carefully tended will give
the best results.
You cannot afford to buy all your
home supplies, no matter how big crops
you grow to sell.
No one can afford to buy manure I'M
til ne has first made use of every pound
produced at home.
a small herd of cattle we'll fed will
pay better th an a large one that just
''pulls through"
Young hens and the early pullets will
bring more money now than as "old
ROSTERS next spring.
During the winter it is quite an item
to arrange SO that the fowls can have as
much sunlight as possible.
What is a cool sheep? 1t all depends
on what the sheep is wanted foT aud the
man who taxes care OF it.
Stick to the breed thlt YOU nlve done,
we'll with. Improve an1 bulld its13
rather than let i. fall back.
When a sheepman finds occasion for
%grumbling 1t woal1 be we'll to quit the
business aud try sonethin, else.
Give the young pigs plenty OF succu-
lent food. A slop made of bran aud
potatoes makes an excellent food.
No mercy should be shown to the dog
that PUSHES out and barks at a passing
team. He should be shot at sight.

TEST FOR WHOLESOME MILK.

A good way to tell when to use new
milk from the COW is to bring a sample
to a boil and if it curdles then do not
use it, but if 1t remains limpid it is all
right. This test should be used always
before sending milk to the factory,
though perhaps it is not SO important
when the milk is peddled on a route,
though this colostrum tends to save the
milk in warm weather .-American Dairy.
