4 POINT IN BUTTER MAKING.

The readings of the Babcock test at
Chicago, in the dairy test, and the
actual results of the churn, indicate
at the close of sixty five days that, had
it been possible to make separators
and churns and other things to work
to perfection, the Jerseys would have
had eight, the Guernseys ninety
two, the Shorthorns, ninety three
pounds each more butter to their
credit, and this with the most perfect
mechanism ever devised in butter
making and controlled by the best ex-
perts obtainable. Now if with separa-
tors and best churns, over ninety
pounds of butter is lost in about 2300
pounds, what is the loss in the usual
farm house, where butter is being
made in primitive ways, so to speak !?
This shows loss of about one pound
of butter in forty of original fat,
while ordinary making shows about
one pound in four is lost between pan
and butter crock, or at least ten times
ore.-Prairie Farmer.

FEEDING A CALMING COW.

The feeding of COW soon to calve
is an important matter as regards the
welfare of the animal, and by neglect
or mistake many cows are injured
when in this condition. 1t is safe to
avoid all grain feeding for at least one
month before the calf is expected, but
any kind of vegetables or roots may
be given with safety and advantage.
The principle on which such cows are
to be fed is that the bowels should be
kept in free condition, and all food
that may nnduly stimulate the system
is to be avoided. After the calf ap-
pears, stronger food is given gradually
during two or three weeks following
The COW may be milked a few hours
after the calf is born. 1t is to be kept
from sucking, which is generally ad-
visable, but the milking must depend
wholly on the condition of the COW.
Some copious mixers may need milk
ing before the calf comes. New York

Shoe.Drcssing Recipes.

People who pay out good deal of
money for inferior shoe-dressings will
be glad to know how to make n good
dressing for themselves at very small
cost. The following is said to be It
capital recipe: Take two drams of
spermaceti oil, three ounces of good
molasses, and four ounces of finely
powdered ivory black, and stir them
together thoroughly. Then stir in
half pint of good vinegar and the
dressing is ready for use. 1t gives II
bright, clean surface, and makes the
shoes look almost like new. Here is II
dressing for rainy weather, which will
make the shoes waterproof, and at
the same time leave the leather soft
and pliable: Take an ounce of bees
wax, an ounce of turpentine, and II
quarter of an ounce of Burgundy
pitch. Put them into half pint of
cotton seed oil, and melt together
over a slow fire, being careful that the
mixture does not take fire Picayune.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

To clean brass lamp burners and
make them good as new, boil in salted
vinegar.
To prevent lamp globes from being
broken by drafts or accidental sprink-
lings put on the stove in cold water
and let slowly come to boil.
To clean rust or other stains from
the inside of decanters, cruets, or
other slender necked glass vessels slice
a potato and use as you would shot
grains.
To slide pies with ease give the
plate few careful "hops" when you
first take it from the oven and, unless
the Juice has cooked over the edge, it
will loosen Mt once.
To boil dumplings in the oldfash-
ioned way without a steamer inver5 n
saucer in the bottom of kettle and,
just before the water comes to a boil,
drop them in aroundit
To beat eggs successfully they should
first be thoroughly chilled. In the
summer time they should be immersed
in ice water or placed in the refrig-
orator few moments before using.
Take basket of eggs and dip in a
kettle of water, putting them in and
out again rs quickly as possible, three
times in succession. They will keep
an entire seasonpreserved in this way.
If the inside of your tea or coffee
pot is black, fill il with water and put
in piece of hard soap. Set it on the
stove and let it boil half an hour or
one hour. 1t will be as bright as new.

APPLE JELLY,

Apple jelly is little regarded be-
cause the apple is so common. Never
thcless it is one of our most excellent
fruit iellies, and it is standard de-
pendence of the French cook in the
preparation of fruit pies and various
other desserts. The French make
many delicious compotes of apples.
The difference between n compete and
preserve should be carefully noted.
A compete is a preparation of fruit
put up for immediate use, as we put
up cranberries or stew apples; n pre-
serve is preparation of fruit intended
to be used at some distant time, and
may usually be kept twelvemonth or
longer. Apple preserves are an alb
surdity, as apples are found in market
all the year round, except in the be-
are in abundance. Apple jelly Is best
prepared from time to time as it is
needed, though there is no objection
to having two weeks supplies in the
house for fruit pies and general use.
A compete should not be made more
than day or two Mt the furthest be-
fore it is to be served. The most
cranberries, is considered to be in its
prime condition the day after it is
made.
For an apple jelly select dozen
firm, well favored apples. Fall pip
pins make an excellent Jelly, but almost
any we'll favored, slightly tart apple
will do for this purpose. Do not peel
the apples, but cut them into quarters,
leaving the core in, but removing any
wormy specks. Partially decayed APP
pies are unfit for the purpose. Pour
pint of cold water over them and
slice in half lemon. Put them in a
porcelain-lined kettle to boil. Let
them cook for twenty minutes, and
then strain them through fine sieve
proportion of n pound to every pint
of juice. Let the sugar and apple
juice boil together for twenty minutes.
Then test the mixture, and rs soon as
it forms n jelly pour it into cups. A
layer of this jelly spread over an apple
meringue pie before the meringue is
put on is great improvement, and
most French cooks use such layer in
all their fruit pies, both next to the
crust and over the fruit, SO that the
fruit is incased in the apple Jelly. The
reason for this is that the apple is au
inexpensive, convenient article to use,
and possesses the ability to take to
itself the flavor of other fruits, like
peaches, pineapples and greengages.
A most delicious apple meringue pie
is made of apple jelly strongly tine
tured with lemon juice and covered
with meringue favored with lemon
For the purpose of economy nice
applesauce, strained as it should be,
and with layer of apple jelly over it
and then the layer of meringue is more
often used New York Tribune.

gular, with a narrow front to the road,
it might be less convenient to build
adjacent to the roadside than If the
long side lay there, yet we would
prefer to build there if site was satis-
factory, and if possible let our fields
reach the full length of the farm, if
not too large.
Of course there are farms where it
is perfectly impracticable to build
upon the roadside, other than for q
mere residence. The writer was
raised on just such farm where the
buildings are almost in the center.
This made it very handy for farm pur-
poses, in hauling and passing to and
from work. Still there was certain
amount of social freedom that was
always absent, which I find now living
by the roadside. In fact, 1 would
rather put up with many inconven-
fences than to be moved back from the
road, especially if Il macadamized one
ran besides my farm, for then, with
my buildings on it it would be handy
at any season of the year to go to town
or to market.

children to be thrown into the pos
session of certain freedom and privi-
leges that remoteness from the high
way cannot afford them. Mostly our
schoolhouses are situated along the
road, consequently our children find
less inconvenience in attending school.

located spot that will prove satisfac
tory location for our buildings, which
will prove an incentive to lis to i'm

POULTRY NOTES.

Grease of any kind is a preventive
of scabby legs.
1t is best to have the roosts low and
all on one level.
Don't keep too large flock for the
accommodation you offer.
Too much food is MS bad as too little
for diminishing the egg supply.
Active breeds require more grain
than those which take on fat readily.
All grain should be scattered so
that the hens are compelled to search
for it.
Cut bones are well worth what they
cost, and every farmer should own
cutter.
If you expect to make money out of
your poultry you must give it rational
treatment
Bronze turkeys are cross between
the pure American gobbler and do
mestic turkey.
Mixed lots in the chicken market are
generally purchased at the price the
poorest are worth.
Give all the fowls a warm feed each
day, if possible, and avoid feeding any
musty or spoiled food.
A good way to feed clover to poultry
is to run it through n cutting box and
then soak it over night.
BY raising most of your roots and
vegetables the cost of keeping poultry
will be greatly diminished.
Light Brahmas are the largest of
the Brahma family. They are good
birds where meat is desired.
The layers and the fattening fowls
require different systems of feeding,
and should be kept separate.
Most people are unaware that con-
sumption is one of the many diseases
to which poultry are subject.
Inbreeding will improve the appear
ance of the birds, but if carried to far
the health of the chickens will suffer.
A three -year-old gobbler is generally
esteemed better than two yearold
one for the raising of healthy chicks,
The best laying hens are the most
actlVe. heeplnS 1904 constantly De-
fore them will spoil the best flock of
layers.
Grass in runs is possible only when
they are sufficiently large to allow each
hen from eighty to 100 square feet of
space.
You may be too far from market to
pay for raising poultry to send thither,
but why not raise little for your own
family?
Why not feed your poultry little
ensilage? What is good for milk pro-
duction should also be good for egg
production.
Fowls are supposed to have been in
troduced into Europe from Persia.
They are believed to have been first
domesticated in Burmah.
Everybody knows that the sick
swallow liquids more readily than
solids, and rs successful poultry keep
ing implies the employment of com
mon sense, give your sick poultry

How to Run Long Distances Easily.

Psychologists and lovers of athletics
may be interested in recent expert
ments and researches of French ar
tillery captain, NJ. de Raoul, who,
some fifteen years ago, began to try
and find out the most economical and
least trying way of walking. There
are many manners of walking, some of
which are much devoid of grace (the
average Englishwoman's is a very
good example), but it may be sup
posed that as far rs efficiency is con-
cerned one must be better than the
others. M. de Raoul has come to the
conclusion that, as far as fast walking
is concerned, the best method is that
which he calls marche enhexion. The
principle is to run without leaping, to
raise the body above the ground as
little rs possible, to keep the knees
bent, the upper part of the body in
clined forward, so that practically you
are always running after your centre
Of gravity. The feet must be raised
only very slightly. NJ. de Raoul, who
has now some years of experience,
says that he can take any man between
twenty and sixty and teach him to run
as long as his legs can carry him with
out getting ont of breath. Some men
can, on the very first trial of the
method, run seven or eight miles with
out stopping, while, with the ordinary
tactics, they could not have run over
one mile The first kilcmeter Ia kilo-
meter is fve-eighths of milel is
usually covered in seven minutes and
quarter, the second in six minutes,
and the third in five minutes and forty
i've seconds. An interesting feature
Of NJ. de Raours researches is that
even after long run, according to
his method, stiff walk is no trouble
at all the muscles which work in both
cases do not belong to the same set,
and while one exercise is performed
the muscles which minister to the
other rest. Popular Science News.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach tho
diseased portion of he ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitu-
tlonal remedies. Deatne s is caused by an in
Tanned condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
hamed you have u rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the infiam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces

HORSE NOTES,

Bran makes more bone than oats.
Beauty and speed combined will al
ways sell.
Breed in to fix the type and out to
strengthen the constitution.
Horses kindly treated AMI well
groomed require less feed than those
which are not well cared for.
The horse breeder should know how
to handle his horse intelligently, treat
it humanely and feed it scientifically.
The horse is dainty feeder and will
eat more heartily and with better
relish if the food is not kept CON
stantly before them.
When German coach horses are
crossed, even upon common mares,
the colts produced are remarkable for
size, bone and action.
Young horses for roadsters and driv-
ing purposes need to be fed properly
and upon the grain foods adapted to
their needs and future development.
Every farmer should include colt
o. two among his live stock. If they
are the proper kind, they will pay
better than almost any other kind of
stock.
Turn the colts out every day to ex-
ercise at will in a paddock. If kept
in the stall their spirits and health
suffer and they are apt to form bad
habits.
In order to bring good price
young trotters must be trained. If
the breeder cannot afford to do this he
can sometimes arrange with trainer
FOR development on ''shares.
If horse meat could be made popu-
lar as an article of diet, it would be a
boon to those people who have been
foolish enough to breed inferior hor ses
which are not suitable for road OF
araught purposes.
The produce of pacing dams train
more easily and develop more rapidly
than animals in which that element is
wanting, and the explanation of this is
that the fast pace is older than the
fast trot and the instinct more firmly
fixed.
Moderate exercise to light cart and
on smooth road or track during the
coming winter is less apt to prove in
furious to last springs foals than is the
old-fashioned practice of turning them
out together in rough or icy yards,
when more or less injury is sure to re-
suit from their play.-New York

FRIED ONIONS.

The art OF frying an onion SO that
it will be delicate and crisp is not
generally understood. There is but
one way to fry this vegetable which
will give the right result-that is, to
cut it in slices and soak the N in milk
for at least ten minutes. Then dip the
slices in -four and immerse them in
boiling fat, hot enough to brown in
stantly n bit of bread thrown in. You
cannot keep the onion i'll slices, so it
is not worth while to try to do so.
After they have fried for six or seven
minutes they may be lifted up with a
skinner on to brown paper and will
be found firm and thoroughly deli
cious Cooked in this way they may
be served as garnish to a daintily
broiled beefsteak or to dish of fried
chops or beef crcquettes. There is no
way of frying an onion in pan with a
little hutter, rs commonly recon-
mended in COOK books, which will pro-
duce n satisfactory result. The onion
softens and absorbs the butter, owing
to the natural law of capillary attrac-
tion, and the result is that the butter
and onion become q dark and greasy
mass. American Cultivator.

EARLY FArTENING OF HOGS.

1t costs much less to make q pound
of pork early than it does late, though
if corn alone be fed too much of it
while the weather is warm is apt to in
iure digestion. The great advantage
of early fattening is that it is done
while there is usually plenty of waste
vegetables, small potatoes, beets and
small apples, more or less of which go
to the pigpen and vary the diet of the
fattening hogs. After these are all
stored in the cellar it is very rare that
any are taken out, and then fattening
hogs soon cloy on their ration of corn
without anything to make it more easy
of digestion. .-American Cultivator.
