ABANDONEO.

The hornets build In plaster-dropping rooms,
And on the messy porch the lizard lies;
Around the chiMneys slow the swallow
flies.
And on the roof the locusts show their
blooms.
Like some sad thought that broods here, old
perfumes
Haunt the dim stairs; the cautious zephyr
tries
Each gusty door, like some dead hand,
then signs
With ghostly lips among the attic gloons.
And now heron. now il kingtisher
Fits In the willows, where the rifle seems
At each faint fall to hesitate to leap,
Fluttering the silence with Il ,lrowsy stir.

And the near world Il tgment Of her

The Use of Skinned Milk.

An important part of the profit in butter
making must always be i'll making the
best use of skinned milk The old prac-
tlce was to feed it exclusively to growing
pigs: but if the dairy is near Il city or
large village Il better use of the skim
milk is to make cottage cheese This is
especially valuable in the summer time.
and the product of Il large dairy may
often be sold at retail at price that
will add at least one-third to the sum
received for. the butter: There will be
some whey from the milk made into cot
ttage cheese. and this has limited value
Tor the pigs if properly supplemented with
other food. In feeding skim milk to
pigs much more can be made of it if it
Is fed with grain ration. Skim milk
is excellent for growth but it is not Il
complete ration. 4 very little linseed
meal cooked to porridge and stirred
with 1t makes it as good Il food as whole
milk. either for growing or fattening ami
mails. If this is supplemented with clover,
either cut for sowing or for pasture, pork
can be made cheaper thus in summer than
on any kind of feed On most farms
the calves get more than their share Of
milk. so far as profit is concerned, If
the calf is merely fattened for veal it will
not pay to keep it long after it has passed
tho age required by law to make whole
some veal. The milk it will require after
that age viii! yield better returns if jul
dlclously fed to growing pigs. Some
part OF the skim milk should always be
saved tor the hens. It is one of the best
egg-producing foods.-American Guilt

1t is not possible, or best if it were, to

such clumps of grass should be dug ont

no roots close to the stump for this grass
to Interfere with, but it makes Just the
shelter that the app.e-tree borer beetle
needs when depositing it's eggs. It also

Feeding Grain tn Ca,nhs.

Prof. Craig makes timely report on
results of several tests of different meth
DDS of feeding lambs designed to be sold
fat when about l year old. He finds it
profitable to feed the lambs some grain
both before and after weaving as com
tening period begins in the fall. He does
not advise feeding all the grain. they will
eat nor feeding with reference to fatten-
ing. He used bran, oats and oil meal.
Tho granted lambs weighed more, were
fatter, produced something over two
pounds heavier fleece, of somewhat longer
wool--the, increase. in weight being in
part due to the greater per cent. of oil in
the fleece They sold at a better price
per pound. The quality of flesh was not
perceptibly different. It cost a little more
food per pound of increase during the
winter of the lambs grain fed from the
