KEEP GIRLS AT WORK.
A Remedy That Is Suggested for Fits o
Depression.

A Remedy That Is Suggested for Fits OF
Depression.
Many q mother is distressed almost
beyond endurance by what she calls
''fits Of depression" In her daughter,
and because she knows no remedy for
III, says the Washington Star. She i'm
mediately rushes off and buys her a
new gown, or q hat or a coat, plans q
trip for her or party, or most any
thing else that seems to promise dis
traction, and that will get her mind
away from herself. 1t is great deal
like giving a child who is crying from
sheer irritation caused from indiges-
ton lot of candy to distract Its at
tention. 1t will forget about 1t for q
time, and then 1t will be crOSser than
ever, because you have only fed the
disease an opiate. When the effect has
passed the disease will eat deeper than
ever.
The proper thing to do for a girl who
suffers from fits of depression Is to
give her something to live for. In nine
cases out of ten the cause Of depres-
sion is lack of regular occupation
and corresponding interest in life. 1t
is unfortunate that so many girls are
not Obliged to do anything. 1t is hard
to get interested in work that one feels
is not absolutely necessary for one to
perform unless the object appeals to
some need of ones nature, and then
we do it for love, and not for emolu-
ment or reward. Girls didn't have fits
of depression before 1t became lower
ing to help with the housework. You
will find in the home where the girls
take turns at doing the chamber work,
washing the dishes, helping with the
mending, sewing, darning and sweep
ing, to tighten the mothers burden,
there are no fits of angry tears, no de-
pressed spells. There Is no time, and
less inclination.
The household duties, though light,
keep the system active, the blood stir
red up and the liver in good working
order, and when the liver works prop
erly the microbes of depression flee.
To insure a girls happiness, never
permit her from the time she can walk
to be an instant idle, except when 1t
Is necessary for her to sleep. What
ever she does-if it is building block
houses, making frock for her doll,
or a gown for herself-make her do 1t
WELL Teach her that life Is made up
of moments filled with perfectly ac-
complished work and that the moment
then passing is the only one that Is
surely hers. No man, no woman, Will
make a success of life who has no OBJ
ject in living. If a girls object is to
marry, then let her make herself pro-
flcient in household lore. If she takes
to sewing, give her every chance to per-
feet herself in that. Encourage her to
have a hobby; people with hobbies
never have depressed spells. They Of
ten cause them in others. but even a
hobby well ridden is preferable to the
sickly sentimentality Of the ambition
less girl whose mother, through over
weening love, has been her ruin.

A Startling Announcemen

The Rev. George R. Dodson, the pop
ular Unitarian minister Of Alameda,
tells rather a good story at his own ex-
pense.
While spending his summer vacation
at Skagg's Springs, one of his greatest
friends was a fellow-boarder, a little
girl about years old. The two were
constant companions and the child
daily accompanied the clergyman on
his excursion in the neighborhood. One
evening the little girl remarked to her
fellow-diners:
81 like going out with Mr.. Dodson."
"Why" queries a stranger, hoping
to draw the child out.
Because he has no MORALS" was the
startling reply.
When the summer boarders had re-
covered their equanimity they inst-
tuted an investigation, the upshot of
which was the discovery that the cur
ly-headed maiden possessed an in
satiable craving for stories. This de-
sire was frequently gratifled by Mr..
Dodson, but unlike the anecdotes Of
the child's mother the minister's tales
were never pointed with a moral for
the youngsters government. - San

Reform Needed at Poultry Show.

OF course do not know
what the existing conditions are
in other states relative to poul-
try at the state fairs, but
have been disappointed at not being
able to make an exhibit in our own
state fair recently, because of the lack
of suitable provisions made for the
fowls while at the exhibition. If such
conditions do exist in other states as
well as this, then is it not about time
that our farm papers took this matter
up and aired it in its true light? And
is not this, at the close of the annual
fairs, a good time to ascertain
just how poultry is handled at
the different state fairs? Usual
ly there are thousands of villagers
and "city folks" who are more inter-
ested in the poultry exhibit than in
cattle, hogs, sheep, etc. Some farmer
asks, why? Because in every ones
make up there is love for domestic
stock, and not having ground enough
to keep a COW or horse they (the
masses) keep few chickens, to which
the whole family become thoroughly
attached, hence they look up the
poultry exhibit about the first thing.

For Modern Cooking.

As q matter of useful Information 1t
may be stated that whenever a cook
ing receipt calls for a baking powder
the "Royal" should be used. The re-
ceipt will be found to work better and
suree, and the bread, biscuit, rolls,
cakes, dumplings, crusts, puddings,
crullers or whatever made, will be pro-
duced sweeter, finer favored, more
dainty, palatable and wholesome. Be
sides the "Royal" will go further or
has greater leavening power, and Is
therefore more economical than any
other powder.
Many receipts as published still call
for cream tartar and soda, the old
fashioned way of raising. Modern
cooking and expert cooks do not sane
ton this old way. In all such receipts
the Royal Baking Powder should be
substituted without fail.
The greatest adopts in the culinary
art are particular to use the Royal
only, and the authors of the most popu-
lar cook books and the teachers Of
the successful cooking schools, with
whom the best results are imperative,
are careful to impress their readers
and pupils with the Importance of Its
exclusive employment.
The Royal Baking Powder Is the
greatest help Of modern times to per-
feet cooking, and every receipt requir-
ing quick-raising ingredient should
elnbody 1t.

Some Important Dairy Matters,

AS the bee gets his honey
fr IN the flowers, here some and
there some, and as he does
not himself manufacture that
which is counted as his product, SO we
men must sometimes appropriate the
wisdom Of others and make it our own,
even in dairy writing and practice.
When l was boy l remember that
was taught to hit a rusty nail on the
head before trying to draw it. The
jar loosened the rust and made the
nail easy to draw. In that connection
was an old story that used to hear,
as follows: A man very learned, and a
scientist, was in the habit of employ
ing good deal of help. Being man
in quest of wisdom he was always on
the lookout for little lessons to be
learned from his hired men. One day
he employed to do some work a neigh
Dor who was counted anything but
bright. He concluded that that man
Mt least could teach him nothing.
However he set the man to drawing
some nails and noticed that be-
fore trying to draw them he
would always first pound them
in. Asking the reason, he was
told the theory, as above. which goes
to show that men gather wisdom as
bees do honey. The necessity of
closer fellowship among dairymen was
emphasized by W. d. Hoard at a re-
cent dairy convention when he said:
''We come here to enlarge the intel
lectual part of our business, to rub up
our minds, to get new ideas. l have
noticed myself that almost all good
Christians need to rub up against one
another occasionally in order to refresh
their Christianity. If they don't they
soon get cold, you know, and the devil
gets in and puts in his best licks right

And usually f,ud thines about like this:

And usually find things about like this:
A lot of fowls cooped up without prop
er care, no food or water, and fairly
gasping for little fresh air, con-
tinually moving about in pens that
have not been cleaned out for fro,n
four to eight days, and could they
talk would ask what they had
done to be used like this. Some
of these birds might be fair speci-
mems, but for the conditions IN
which they are placed, but the ma
jority are lot of culls that would be
disqualified by the standard OF perfec-
ton. NOW the masses conclude that as
this is a state fair exhibit "open to the
world" that the birds shown must be
the best of their respective kinds, and
all are more or less disappointed II not
disguised. The truth is that the best
fanciers dare not subject their best
specimens to such rude treatment, fear
ing the consequences, so they Keep
their birds Just where they should-at
home! Why don't the managers take q

once each day, fresh straw put in, also
fresh water and food, and under such
treatment the poultry exhibit would
be 100 per cent more attractive, and II
the fanciers were assured that their
specimens would be well cared for,
am convinced that the best In the state
would be represented, SO that the
people who had paid in their money to
see the fair would be getting value re-
ceived, while under the present con-
ditions and managements thousands go
away disguised, and with feeling
that they have not had the worth OF
their money by any means. Let's have
some reform in this matter, and what
association will be the first to take it
up? Hope we may hear much more
favorable reports next season.

the very cheapest prices and it were
better if more persons could become
aware of the saving which a cash basis
effects. Another opportunity to show
business enterprise lies in first produc-
ing the first class of goods and then
using trade mark by which they may
be identified by the market. For
example: You wish to get up reputa-
tion for strictly fresh eggs in yonr mar
ket. First be sure your eggs are fresh
and no mistake, for it must be remem-
bered that in the minds of the customers
the finding of even a single poor egg
will counterbalance in force the effect
of buying many dozens of good eggs.
Then granted the eggs are excellent,
stamp upon each an attractive mark
showing the name of the poultry farm
where they were produced and guaran-
tee as to freshness. In this way a
good reputation is made, and that is
worth good deal. The poultry house
must be dry. OF the two, dampness is
worse than cold. Yet how many hen
houses are set upon damp, springy, un-
drained land! If your coop is SO sit
uated, either move it or underdrain it.
You can put in tile drain or else fill in
two or three feet deep with rocks and
place few inches of gravel on top
But it would be much better never to
build on such site. Dampness is al
most sure to produce colds and roup,
and that means much trouble and loss
Even in a well drained house the drop
pings and condensation of moisture
| from the breath of the fowls make the
soil damp. Therefore dry earth must
often be sprinlsled around as an alb
sorbent. Wheat is SO cheap and ex-
cellent for fowls that there can be no
reason now why it should not be
fed in great abundance as staple
source of supply for the poultry. We
have found little linseed meal quite
beneficial as tonic for fowls to nour-
ish them and encourage their laying.
Three times a week give half pint OF
the oil meal to twenty-five hens.

MIX uttered Through Gravel.

AtHerr Bolle's fan1Bus dairy in Berlin
the milk is strained through wire
sieves covered with cloth over which
fine gravel is sprinkled. After the milk
is strained the gravel is put in a hot
oven, that any germ that may
possibly have been strained from tine
milk may be destroyed. The gravel is
thus used for filtering the milk any
number of times. For the butter made
at this dairy both sweet and sour cream
is used, that made from sweet cream
commanding the higher price. After
the compartments filed with partic.
ular kind of milk are filed the wagon
is locked, and the millman who de-
livers it has access to the supply only
through the faucets on the side of the
wagon.

Tho Craze Has Spread Like Whdhfs All

1t is quite natural that France. and
especially Paris, with their splendid
roads, should b favorite habitat OF
the bicyclist. Yet, the bicycle has had
some enemies. The late PresidenS
Oarnot, who was not remarkable for
the elasticity of his muscles, Is said
to have despised 1t. On the contrary
the King OF Belgium admires the ma
chine, and in the race, Paris-Brusseis,
offered a gold watch to the victor. The
little King of Spain rides little bicy,
Gle made for him In France. Severa!
of the Paris journalists are excellent
cyclists.
The hygienic value Of the cycle as q
means Of exercise has been discussed
by the Paris Academy of Medicine, q
celebrated physician declaring that 1t
was frequent cause Of heart disease,
owing to the prolonged effort and to
the fear of being run over or of rum
ming over somebody. Other doctors
who are known to have a weakness
for the machine, combatted the theory,
affirming that the pastime was ex-
tremely healthy exercised with reas-
on. But when a practice becomes = =
mania 1t Is exceedingly dimcult 70

The bicycle and its devotees furnish
abundant matter to the caricaturist,
whe does not fail to use it literally.
and the advertisements of rival max
ers present features that are really
amusing. As to the champions Of diff
ferent nationalities, 1t Is hard TO tell
which have the best record, 30 many
considerations enter into the question.

along on those Christians that don't as
sociate with each other. Now, l am
not so much of religionist as not to
believe that these things apply to good
dairy work just the same. We need
to rub up against one another" This
is good doctrine and true. The whole
dairy world would be benefited could
the influence of our dairy assemblies
be extended to include all. Wherever
this occurs there is an elimination of
competitive enmity, and general
working together for the good of all.
cHURNINa THE DAIRYMAN.
Churning has had so much said upon
it in the past that one would believe
that nothing new could be developed
on that subject. But that has con-
cerned mostly the churning Of cream
and milk Now dairy instructors and en-
thusiasts are realizing that a new kind
of churning has got to be done and that
dairymen and dairy affairs generally
have got to be agitated. Science has
begun to get control and the first
principle put into operation is "agitate,
apitate, agitate." Already science has
demonstrated chat the dairy industry
is but in its infancy. 1t was but few
years past that men spoke about the
Occupation" of dairying; later they
recognized in it SO great a requirement
of skill in manipulation that it was
dubbed 'art" of dairying. Then came
the biologist and began to teach about
fiavcrs in butter arising from bacter-
ial conditions; the chemist, and began
to tell of chemical changes and the
components of dairy bases and their
properties So now we have elevated
it to the high plane Of "art and science"
of dairying. The churning, how
ever, is just begun. The milk of
dairy effort will have to be gently agi-
tated" till we get the butter of dairy
success Before the work is finished a
wav will be found to make margarine
sail under its own colors, to make
filed cheese, and even Wisconsin
ssstandards, quit masquerading as full
creams; to ''spot" both the sellers and
buyers of ..black pepsin" and like con-
coctions; also to prevent the use OF
chemical preservatives for milk and
cream. This churning is going to do a
great many other things not here
mentioned: In word, it is going to
reduce the present anarchistic dairy
methods to state of order.
RIGHTS OF oLEo.
There is no question but that a man
has the right to manufacture and sell
any kind of healthy food product, in
accordance with law. 1t is equally
unquestioned that a man has not the
right to sell a counterfeit, no matter
how good it may be. The question of
nnterfeiting is not affected by the
.rviceability of the counterfeit. Some
pecple buy oleo knowing it to be such.
Some men sell oleo, carefully stamp
ing it as such, and more than that,
have signs a dozen feet long pro-
claiming their product to be butterine.
IN the other hand great deal of the
oleo is sold under the head of creamery
utter. and it is this latter method that
e hurting the dairy interests and of
which dairymep complain. An in

with stanchions. Between each two
cows was an iron tank with water SO
arranged that when drank down to a
certain point q floating valve would re-
I'll it, and as the gentleman said,
"There is always water in reach OF
every cow" I Ismelled of the water as
it stood in the buckets or tanks and re-
quested him to do the same, and asked
him if he thought water that had such
a stable odor was much better for max
ing pure milk or the keeping of ami
mails healthy than that standing in
pools in his barn yard. A few weeks
after my visit to his farm I read the
account Of more than two thirds Of his
dairy being slaughtered and all found
on examination to be badly affected
with tuberculosis. This was a forced,
hot house dairy, and one Of many that
will breed and spread disease broad
