little house by the well, put a tank
in it and run all the stock water
through this tank. 1t cools the water
in the summer and it warns the water
in the winter, because the fresh water
from the well has uniform tempera-
ture. 1t is one of the best rules to
work both ways that the Lord gives
us, and he delights to give good things
to those with enough discernment to
take them. No fire is needed to warm
this house in winter; no ice is needed
to cool it in summer. Deep down in
the bosom of the earth is a place of
uniform temperature, unaffected by
the hot blasts of summer and the biz
yards of winter. If we could set our
milk cans down there we would have
place always the same, but we can't
conveniently do that. If we can, and
we can, bring up this uniform tenn
perature" in its medium, water, we
don't need to go down there with our
milk. If a windmill will bring this
up for us we don't even have to take
that trouble; we have only to fix for
it and the wind, whether of summer or
winter, does the rest. This house
need not be large. If private dairy
ing is followed it must be large
enough for the necessary utensils-a
churn and separator, if the latter
is used. If milk is sold, Just room
enough for convenient handling of the
cans is sufficient. II built of wood,
line the studding on both sides with
tar paper. then sheet up on both sides
over the paper. If the water runs from
the tank in this dairy house to a lower
tank in the tank barn yard float valve
on the lower will regulate the flow of
water from one tank to the other.
Better than this is regulator on the
windmill which always stops the wind
mill when all tanks are full of water,
and always "sets" it for running when
there is room for more water. 1t is
more faithful than the best hired man
with his boss thrown in. OF course, if
ehurning is done in this house addi-
tional warmth is required in winter
during the churning time. The writer
uses a kerosene stove for this. The
fire is started by simply lighting
match, and when no longer needed it
is extinguished by simple turn of
the wrist. 1t heats water for use and
the tank furnishes cold water, and
these two essentials are handy to the
churn. The churn is run by the dog,
but he is not there. His room is better
than his company, because he can bet
ter be outside and turn the churn BY
means of light shaftrunning through
the wall of the building.

Perfection in Cake-making.

Housekeepers frequently wonder
why it is that they cannot make bis
cult and cake that are light and pal
atable and that taste as delicious as
the biscuit and cake made by their
mothers and grandmothers, the de-
lightfut memory of which even to this
day creates a sensation of pleasure to
the palate. The trouble arises from
the highly adulterated state of the
materials they have to work with,
particularly the cream-of-tartar and
soda used to raise or leaven the food.
Cream-of-tartar and soda that are now
procurable for domestic purposes con-
tain large quantities of lime, earth,
alum and other adulterants, frequent
ly from five to twenty-five per cent,
and consequently vary so much in
strength that no person can tell the
exact quantity to use, or properly COM
bine them, to insure perfect results.
From using too much or too little, or
because of the adulterants in them,
bitter salt, yellow, OF heavy biscuits
or cakes are frequently made. These
adultertants are also injurious to
health.
All this trouble may be avoided BY
the use of the popular Royal Baking
Powder. Where this preparation is
employed in the place of cream-of-tar-
tar and soda, its perfect leavening
power always insures light, faky, d.
gestibe biscuit, cakes, and pastry,
that are perfectly wholesome and free
from the impurities invariably present
when the old raising preparations are
employed.
The Royal Baking Powder, we are
informed by the most reliable scien-
lists, is perfectly pure, being made
from highly refined ingredients, care
fully ties ed, and so exactly proper
toned and combined that it never
fails to produce the best and uniform
results. An additional advantage in
its employment comes from the fact
that bread or other food made with it
may be eaten while hot without fear
of Indigestion or any unpleasant re.
suits, while being equally sweet,
moist, and grateful to the palate when
cold.

she will continue to be liked. But
male calves of that sort don't pay to
raise. You can make more of your
skim milk, ETC., to feed it to pigs. In
procuring your male, get full blood mot
half Jersey, half Holstein) and find out
as much as possible if his dam and
grand dam were great milk and butter
producers. Raise all the heifer calves
with care to keep them thriving but
not fat. The man who has plenty to buy
what he wants and goes into it right,
will undoubtedly do well to get full
blood and registered cows. He can
make by raising their offspring as well
as from the milk. The demand for
good milk stock is on the increase, and
will be for long time. Men, to go
into that largely, must educate them
selves so as to be cautious not to pay a
high price for something that has no
real producing value. Long, and even
good pedigrees can lead to serious dis
appointment without that. Teach
yourself and your helpers to be gentle
with the cows. Under no circum-
stances should there be any running or
kicking or beating allowed. A good
milk stool is a box twelve or fourteen
inches high, eight or ten inches wide
and piece of board nailed across the
opening on the lower end, in which to
keep a coarse dry rag in case it may be
needed. Take your box stool in right
hand and sit conveniently near to the
COW, brush off all dust that may be on
or around the bag Use your cloth, if
needed before you bring your bucket
under her; then commence slowly milk
ing one hind teat next to you with left
hand and front teat with right hand,
and so on, taking by turns cross ways,
pressing with the ends of the fingers
against the side of the teats and
against the palm of your hand, bear
ing first hardest with the fingers
highest up, and downwards to make
the milk stream big and easy. Don't
milk with jerks. Keep everything as
quiet as you can.

Deafness Can Not BE Cured

by local applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure Deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition Of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be DESTROYED
forever; nine cases out Of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in.
famed condition Of the mucous surfaces.

Increasing British Poultry Demand.

An English paper says: Poultry cult
ure as branch of our great national
industry, has hitherto been to a large
extent neglected, although it appeals
equally to the farmer and cottager, and
the produce can be turned into money
rapidly and easily. Hence it is that
within period of twenty years our
imports from abroad have increased by
nearly $50 per cent, and show a con-
slant and steady advance. Last year
pS93l we paid foreign countries "a, 49,
sos for eggs and poultry, drawing our
supplies from countries as remote as
Russia, Turkey, Egypt and Morocco,
and also from Canada. All these were
consumed in Great Britain, and, in adj
dition, the larger island paid 60 900, 900
to Ireland for the same form of pro-
duce. The former sum represents
nearly 211 per cent of the entire food
imports received from abroad and the
following statistics will give the COM

Earth Temperature ami DaIryins.

E. c. Bennett of the Rural Life writes
10. that journal as follnws: When at
lending the breeders meeting at Ames
last month he writer visited the col
lege creamery. 1t is a sleepy institu-
ton and starts up four hours later in
the morning than creameries do in this
locality, but by hanging around long
enough we saw it opened up for bust
ness, and the driver of the second milk
wagon reported that he chad to leave
five cans of milk because the milk was
sour" There was no need of that loss.
Had the milk been properly cared for
it would not have been sour. None
soured in this locality, and yet far fl ON
the best conditions are general here.
But in winter cans of milk are some
times returned here because the milk
is frozen. 1t is not impossible to make
good butter from frozen milk, but the
creamery man can not afford to bother
with it, for it demands especial treat
ment, and this he has neither time nor
conveniences for giving. There is no
need of frozen milk. Sour milk and
frozen milk are ineXcusable; they are
testimony against the dairyman which
he can not swear away. And the
remedy is simple. Water as it comes
from the deep well will keep
milk as long as necessary without
freezing, and as long as necessary
without souring. The temperature of
the water must change much before
either of these things can happen.
Protect the water tank, or rather make
