She Is In Dead Earnest.

Lady Florence Dixie has taken off the
gloves, if may so put it. The time has
come, she declares in her latest mani
festo, for woman to assert herself and to
dethrone that too long worshiped and
dreaded tyrant-man! And there is only
one way, cries Lady Florence, in which
this can be done. Women, as women,
can never hope to effect the desired revo-
luton. Women, if they wish to do
anything, Unjust disguise themselves as
men," patriotic mothers" are invited
"to train up their girls" with a view to
this new plan of campaign. eff I had a

"Unfortunately," she adds, "my two
children are boys. London Truth.

MILK For Cheesemaking.

Milk for cheesenaking should always
be aerated as soon as drawn from the
COW. First class cheese can only be
made from milk that is absolutely free
from all impurities and aeration helps to
secure such. Dairymen who furnish
milk to the fac tories should be taught to
use aerators. A very effective one can
be made easily and cheaply by drilling
one-sixteenth inch holes through the
bottom and near the outer edge Of some
kind of vessel. Suspend this as high as
possible above another vessel and let the
milk run through while it is yet warm

Sorghum Fodder.

Great care should be employed to keep
the cows in milk as long as possible. 1t
takes large percentage from the profits
when cows are dry from three to four
months in the year, or if their flow of
milk decreases to any very marked de-
gree during the last four or five months
of the year.
Clean, warm stables, plenty of pure
water, from which the chill has been
taken, roots or grain, or both, in addi-
ton to their dry feed, are conditions
which secure success in winter dairying.
Nor is winter the only time when the
cows need supplementary food. AS soon
as the summers drought begins to short
en- the pastures there should be plenty Of
corn OF sorghum, to supply the lacking
feed. Sorghum is an especially satisfac-
tory crop for this purpose, as the cattle
will eat it up clean. Dairymen can
hardly regard this plant too highly

IT the feed Is increased gradually, as it
invariably ought to be, and it's effect is
carefully noted, the owner of COW will
have little difficulty in deciding when the
safe limit has been approached. Long
before that point is reached he will be
able to determine whether the increased
quantity of food supplied is proftably
utilized, for, contrary to what seems to
be the belief of some advocates of high
feeding, there are cows which, through
some fault of digestion or assimilation or
because they have much stronger tend
ency to produce flesh than they have to
yield milk, do not pay for extra quanti-
ties of grain. 1t therefore follows that
when a test of the productive powers is
made the health of the animals and the
financial interests of their owners will be
best protected by a gradual increase in
the quantity of grain supplied and the
careful watching of the effects which it
produces. Dairyman.

Churnine Temperature.

In January, 1888, when the writer &C.
cupied the editorial chair of The Dairy
World, we had controversy with a
Lirs. E. A. G.. and others of Texas, who
Claimed they had to churn at 70 de-
grees. We, relying on our practical
knowledge of course, knew better; 81
degrees was the limit, etc. The butter
sold at 40 cents, and when sample was
sent to be judged by Chicago experts,
they thought we were playing a trick
on them with some new kind,of oleo-
margarine, as the body was OF that firm
or waxy, or rather "steariny'' quality.
True, we were in the right about the
selling value of the butter in Chicago.
1t was barely rs cents, but yet how woe
fully our practical armor left US exposed
to the assault of new facts. We were
then informed that Mrs. E. A. G. had
Jersey cows and fed 10 pounds of cotton
seed day to each COW, and L. B. Giles
of Manor, Tex, brought out the fact
that cream from COWS fed on large ra-
tons Of cotton seed requires high
churning temperature. Dairy Messen-

Feeding the Cow For Money.

The efforts of dairymen to make their
COWS surpass anything that has yet been
done in the way of producing milk or
butter needs to be made with a great
deal of care. Heavy feeding, which is
one of the absolute essentials to success
in record breaking, must be directed
with no small degree of skill or else it
will result in a diminished instead of an
increased power of production, and it
may, as it has done in not few in
stances, lead to the loss of the animal it.
self. If absolute safety is to be consid-
cred, it will be wise to remember that
extremes are usually dangerous and that
the feeding of animals is no exception to
the general rule. But it is possible to
learn very much about the merits of
COW as butter producer without incur
ring any special risk.

One of these is Flavel Scott Mines, who
began to earn his living as an Office boy
in the great New York publishing estah-
lishment Of the Harpers and rose to be
an editor of one of their publications.
Wanting more freedom for the use OF
his pen, he has branched out on an in
dependent literary career, and what he
writes always receives considerate at
tention from editors. He is native Of
New York state, having been born at
Cherry Valley ia 1856, and, although he
has achieved fame, practically has his
career before him. Here is specimen
of his work taken from a recent issue Of
Harper's Weekly. It is entitled "The
Reward of the World" and reads rs fol-
lows:
He fingered behind, while his comrades
marched on,
A captive to cowardly fears;
He knew not the heights which were steadily
won;
He quailed at the deafening cheers.
Who fingers behind thinks the battle is lost
At victory turned he to fly,
But saw the blue standard which fiuttered and
tossed
From the enemy'S raulparlS on nlGn.
Then sought he the city and stood in the mart
And cried that the. day had been gained.
Forgetting the fear that had lived in his heart,
Forgetting his manhood enchanted.
The people poured out the rich gold at his feet
And wove for his brow fair wreath;
They knew not the sword of this messenger
feet
Had rusted within the bright sheath.
Of MIR. Hezekiah Butterworth. who is
native of Rhode Island, and who was
born in 1885. it may be fairly asserted
that although somewhat advanced in
years he is still young mentally and phys
ically. For over two decades he has
held the important position of assistant
editor of The Youths Companion, and
much of tho latter day success of that
weekly has been due to his guidance and
advice.
Seine time ago Allan Eric in a con-
tribution to the Now York Journalist de-
clared that of all Mr.. Butterworth's po-
etry 1.-The Clocks Of Kenilworth" pleased
him best. The theme was suggested by
a ruined church at Jamestown, Va, and
here are some extracts from it:
An ivy spray in my hand hold,
The kindly ivy that covers the mold
OF ruined halls; it was brought to me
From Keniluorth castle, DER the sea.
Ivy. Ivy, | think of .hc queen
Who once swept Ola her way through the oak
walks green
To Kenilworth, far in the gathering gloo,ns.
Her cayalcade white tgith silver plumes.
They are gone, all gena, those knights of old,
With their red cross banners and spurs of gold,
And thou dost coves taeir castles mold.
o Ivy, Ivy. dark and cold!
The next verse describes the entrance
of the queen into the castle, when, to
the alright of 81. the clocks begin to
beat louder and seemed to say, Dying,
dying; this. too, shall pass away"
Then the dark knights say, WHAT is wanting
here?'
"That the hour should !est"-so said peer.
"The hour shall lest!" the proud earl calls;
"Ho! Stop the clocks in the banquet hallsl"

What the italian Laborer Fears.

Italians are less prone to strike than
any other laborers, the one sure way of
bringing them to the point being the
Withholding of their wages. They are
very suspicious, and if not paid in full
at the appointed hour take alarm, fear
ing that they are going to lose their earn
ings. Such a thought sets them wild.
Argument is useless. The employer who
gets behind with his payroll is lost
