JUST think of it. 1900 bushels OF
wheat or 50 bales of cotton, to pay
that extra salary which your congress-
man voted to give himself. That is
more than two or three men can make
on farm. Besides this they were
getting $500 year which is equiva-
lent 10 10000 bushels OF wheat or 200

ONE Of the results of our civilization
is the false theory that one man has a

is necessary for The sustenance Of ten
thousand, and to prevent the other

teachings Of Jesus Christ stand up and

Keepine LIN the MIX rlou.


There is something wrong in the prac-
tice of most farmers, viewed from the
dairy standpoint. 1t is permitting COWS
to dry mp at this time of year or soon
after and go dry until spring. We
have spoken regarding dairy cows
and general purpose COWS. Lest we be
misunderstood, we wish to say right here
that we do not specify any breed OF
breeds as good and others as bad. Cows
are what inheritance and training and
feed have made them.
A COW that has sucked calf and that
descended from long line Of ancestry
SO kept is not the COW for dairying. She
may take first prize at a public three
days test, but before the end of the
year she becomes an expensive thing to
keep. General purpose cows may be
bred and trained away from profitable
milking capacity When we speak of
dairy cows, we simply mean those which
have been developed and trained in milk
giving capacity regardless Of breed
conceding the fact, however, that GER
tain breeds have been trained in this
direction more than certain other breeds.
Now, the way to spoil any COW is to let
her shrink seriously in her milk flow
when the calf is or 8 months old. Short
feed now means failure to the summer
dairy. Generous feed now means an
extra 100 pounds of high priced butter.
Have good pasture now. We speak from
trial. Supplement the pasture if nee
essaay by feeding your oats and green
corn to the cows until the fall feed
comes on. There is no surer way to lose
money than to neglect this. Creamery
and Dairy.

exactly by che pencil lines. A square or
round may first be drawn and cut out,
allowing the frame to be from q to 8
inches wide about the square OF round
opening In the center for the insertion Of
the photograph.
Designate the opening for the photo
graph by means of pencil and ruler in
the center of the square or circle Of
pasteboard and cut it out. The SIM
plest manner Of making frame is to
cut the back of similar pasteboard Then
cut an interstice in the center to admit
the brace In the back instead of the
large opening for the photograph which
the front piece has in it. The brace is 8
piece of pasteboard also cut wide at the
bottom and diminishing at the top to
slip through the interstice, where, with
firm thread and needle, it may be
tackled to the back and then carefully
creased without breaking where it passes
through the interstice to form a support
at the back by springing outward.
The pieces are now in readiness to be
covered. The cotton batting may be
pulled apart and the glazed sides put in
side toward each other, leaving the feecy
sides out. This is laid smoothly over the
face Of the frame and cut its exact size
and the center cut out most carefully
also. A delicate spray Of sachet powder
will only enhance the fragrance of the
dainty suede covering. The suede is
then laid out smoothly and the fall Of
pasteboard placed upon it, with the bat
ting next the suede. Cut a half inch
larger cell about the edges, which are
drawn smoothly over and patted into
place. Cut from the center Of the open
ing in toward the corners and draw the
suede neatly through to the back and
paste into place, and you will find that
the face is complete for square frame,
and the other shapes are to be worked on
exactly the same principle, the paste
board fan being cut into any design.
A bit Of glass for further protection Of
the photograph may be fastened over the
opening on the wrong side by means Of
strips of paper pasted securely over the
glass corners to the face. The back is
then nicely covered with silk and pasted
evenly to the face, all except the open
space, and straight down toward the
bottom, where the photograph is to be
inserted. One skin will make several
frames OF medium size, and they may be
backed with watered or brocade silk,
which comes in suitable quality and col
or for so cents per yard. These frames
find place naturally beside the silver and
metal ones and lend variety as well as
charm wherever they are placed.

Bunsen has explained the periodical
eruption Of geysers in such satisfac-
tory manner that doubt is no longer pos
sible. A cavern filed with water lies
deep in the earth under the geyser, and
the water in this cavern is heated by the
earth's internal heat far above 212 de-
grees, since there is a heavy hydrostatic
pressure upon it arising from the weight
of water in the passage or natural stand
pipe that leads from the subterranean
chamber Of the surface Of the earth.
After time the temperature Of the
water below rises. so that steam is given
off in spite Of the pressure, and the col
umn in the exit tube is gradually forced
upward. The release of pressure and
the disturbance Of the water then cause
the contents of the subterranean cham
Der to flash into steam and expel the
contents Of the exit pipe violently. These
eruptions may also be provoked by throw
ing stones or clods of turf into the basin
Of the geyser. The water in the cavern
below is disturbed by this means. Great
