"YOUR HEALTH, SRI"

Some Pointers In Barroom Etiquette as
1t Exists In the South.
''Did you ever observe the different
evidences of cordiality among the bon
vivants of the southern states when
they come to drink ones health in a
barron or at a dinner tablet" asked a
well-known Georgia politician.
Nobody had observed them.
''Well, the Kentuckian says as he
lifts the straight whisky to his lips:
Here's at you. my boy!' and his COM
panion nodding replies: Drink
hearty and the drinks go down. The
Texan pours out his liquor and says
carelessly, but politely withal: My
dearest and the other fellow says:
Same here and they drink. The
Georgian stands and talks a moment
before taking up the bottle, and talks
all the time, scarcely noticing his ac-
ton rs he pours out the rye and calls
for 'pollinaris. Then he stands and
talks a moment longer, for Georglans,
you know, are never in a hurry. When
finally he comes to think about the
drinks he lifts his glass and saws: Well,
here goes. chapv The other fellow re-
plies: Let 'er co. and she goes

and the other fellow answers, And

their drinks with wondrous gracious

course, there are some changes TO these
phrases from lip to lip, but as q rule

soup stock or gravy; press through a

cream Keep on the ice until needed.
PICK some cold baked or broiled fish
and season with white pepper and a
little lemon juice. Slice some white
bread thin, trim away the crust. cut in
squares, circles or oblongs, spread with
the anchovy paste first and then with
the fish.
Mayonnaise used in the same way
with halibut, striped bass mackerel or
salmon, favored with minced celery or
parsley, is an appetizing mixture for
sandwiches.
A paste made of mayonnaise with
half gill of whipped cream and
spoonful of horse radish spread on thin
slices of rye bread, with a slice of cold
tongue or mutton.
Men are fond of roast-beef sand
witches, but it takes chef to carve the
meat properly. The average woman
will do well to operate with something
easier.
A sandwich should never be overbut-
tered SO that it will cake and get dis
lodged when the slices are pulled
apart Spread very lightly, and, if
necessary, melt the butter. It will be
found economical and convenient to
butter the Loaf, leaving the crust line
to be trimmed. Young people are very
fond of sweet sandwiches, and, to
quote the children, stewed plums
stoned ''are awful good" Baked pears
or boiled ounces sliced, and halves of
cooked or raw peaches with sugar and
few drops of cream, go very well
with white bread and butter. Table
sandwiches made with apple sauce,
whipped with cream and favored with

pAlRYlNG IN WINTER.

:
Propositions That shouid Be Made with
out Further Delay.
10 make the best success in dairying
in winter it is necessary to make prep
arations in advance. One of the prin-
cipal items that must be looked after
some time ahead is to have cows that
will come in fresh. To this end the
COWS should be bred late in the fall or
early winter, taking care of course to
have them in good, thrifty condition
when bred and to breed then to bulls
OF good dairy breeds and from good
strains Another item that must be
looked after in good season is good
feed. Clover or millet hay or the best
OF corn fodder makes the best single
feed. Bran, middlings and oilmeal
can nearly always be bought as need
ed, but in many cases supply can be
obtained at less cost in the summer
than at any other season.
Later on good shelter is necessary. It
is difficult, if not impossible, to keep a
cow giving full flow of milk during
the winter unless comfortable shelter
is provided. With good cows, good
shelter and good feed it will be COM
paratively easy to have good supply
of milk. But it will require more
work to attend to the cows and to care
for the milk and cream In winter than
in the summer. If the milk is not
kept at an even temperature or the
cream is not properly managed the
butter will not come up to the standard.
The feeding and milking must be done
at regular hours. The feed must be of
a lxind xx,o11 lot tod IN
COW to give the largest flow of milk.
No matter how well bred COW she
may be she cannot give liberal guam
tity of rich milk unless she is fed liber-
ally on rich milk-producing food. The
more literally she is fed and the more
comfortable she is made in every way
the more and better milk she will give.
Whenever the skimming is done and
new cream is added to what is already
in the vessel, care must be taken to stir
thoroughly so that all of the cream will
ripen evenly together. Care must be
taken not to allow it to become too
sour. One difficulty in making butter
in winter is that the cream is allowed
to stand too long before churning.
Cream should be only slightly acid
when churned. Use a thermometer to
see that the temperature is right.
While nearly or quite all grades of
butter sells more readily and at better
prices during the winter than in sum-
mer, yet it is important in securing the
best price to have the quality of the
best, and every detail in the manage
ment must be looked after closely.
With proper care there is no ques-
ton but that winter dairying can be
made more profitable than summer,
though it costs more to make butter in
winter than in summer, but the better
price will make it pay better profit
There is at least one advantage, and
that is it does not require so much
work to prepare for market. 1t is i'm
portant that good butter be sent to
market in the best possible condition.

"The inconvenience they are put to leads
farmers to adopt the city as their permanent
residence" Scene on Iowa country road, from
photograph taken in spring of 1898
move it over q fairly good road. AS for
drawing a load up hill, everyone who
has had experience teaming on an I'M
even farm knows that the power re-
quired is very much greater than is
needed on level road. 1t not lnfre-
quently occurs that small loads must be
drawn from the most distant parts of
the farm because there are one or two
bad spots between that point and the
barn. A little work on these spots
would open pretty good road for the
whole distance. If fairly we'll done it
would last for years, but it would pay
to do this work if it had to be repeated
every summer. It would save many
trips every season, would prevent very
much annoyance both to the team and
to the driver and would enable the
farmer to push his work much more
rapidly than he otherwise can do.
In some cases the hard pull comes at
some point where ruts have been
formed. Here, there is not merely
great increase in the labor of the
teams, but there also is q severe and
an altogether unnecessary strain upon
the wagons and carts Many q wheel
has been spoiled. and a considerable
bill for repairs has been incurred, By
means of these ruts. The delay and i'm
convenience caused by such break
down are always vexatious. and the ex-
pense involved is not always met with
good humor. If the time lost in wait
ing to have the necessary repairs to the
wagon made were used p0tting the
ROAD into good condition future losses
and annoyances from this scarce might
be avoided. and occasion for the use of
a good deal of very bad language would
be prevented
To make first-class highways, over
which thousands of teams are to pass
every year, requires a good deal of SCH
.entific knowledge. Such knowledge,
though valuable, is not indispensable
in making farm roads In order to
keep it dry and hard the road should
be little higher in the middle than it
is at the sides Ruts should be pre-
vented by forming as solid a road-bed
as possible. and making repairs as soon
as the least depression in che wheel
tracks is observed. Where the road
passes through wet ground the bed
should be somewhat elevated, land n
trench should be made at each aide for
carrying off the surplus water. .Atten-
ton to these points. and DO q few
minor matters which will suggest
themselves, will enable the farmer to
make, on his own land. roads which
will fully answer all practical pur-
poses.-Amer1can Farmer.

Hints for Barn Builders.

If you are about building barn you
IAN probably combine space and econo-
my by building 1T with a basement The
stalls for stock should be in the base
merit. but it shoa1ld be SO arranged that
they are dry and that the air is pure
and wholesome Have an eye to con-
~enience in the arrangement of every
detail If you grow grain have it SO
you can put the straw when you thrash
right over the stables IT it is there SO
that it can be reached without trouble
you will be apt tO.make better use of it
i'm feeding than vROuld otherwise be the
case. A large covered shed as an adj
iunct to the barn will prove valuable
In that the stock can get air and exer-
else through the winter without being
exposed to wind and storm. Keep the
manure in this shed until you are ready
to hanl it out, and the saving of that
product will go far toward repaying
the cost of the shed--Farmers' Home
