BITS OF DAIRY WISDOM.

Never allow a heifer calf from "a rich
butter COW to be killed as a veal. If
you do not want her to supply your
own dairy-there are plenty who do.
If you are a dairyman or a dairy
woman put your brains, your energy
in it. Be an enthusiast. If you can
not, then it is not the business for you,
and you will not succeed.
Be sure that all the fences are up and
strong before stock is turned out. 1t
will prevent the cattle from getting bad
habits impossible to cure and per-
haps an expensive lawsuit.
By selling gilt-edged butter a dairy
man is not impoverishing his farm.
He is selling his crops to his cows at
profit, and returning the manurial ele-
ments to the farm which becomes more
productive every year.
Few remedies for caked udder are
better than soft soap. Cover the bag.
If the lunches and soreness have not
disappeared in a few days repeat.
Frequent bathing with hot water and
hard rubbing will allay the fever and
reduce the swellings..--Farm journal. d,

boards with paper between may be
used. These should be nailed to stud e.
ding made out of 6x6's sawed in two
diagonally, using two pieces at each
end of the partition, placed so that the
sawed face fills the corner formed by
the partition.
With the intermediate studs the
boards should be nailed to the sawed
or wide side, so as to avoid forming
square corners.
If a rectangular silo is built. then
two layers of matched fencing with tar
paper between should be used for the
lining. To lessen the spelling of silage
at the corners, these should be cut off
with one layer of inch boards about 18
inches long. This should then be lined
with roofing tin soldered together into
a strip long enough to nail to the lin
ing and to completely cover the two
ends of the short boards by as much as
two inches on each side. The tin should
be kept painted with coal tar to prevent
rusting.-F. II. King, in Orange Judd

The speed of a railway train in
miles per hour can, it is claimed, be
found by counting the number of rails
over which a car wheel passes in 20. 3
seconds, because 20.3 seconds bears tue
same ratio to an hour that 30 feet, the
length of rail, bears to a mile. The
fish plates or the thumps may be count
ed. Thus, supposing that 80 thumps
are made by wheel in 2O.3 seconds, the
train is then running at the rate of
80 miles an hour.

Not long ago a Russian judge was
called upon to decide knotty point re-
lating to a promissory note, which the
debtor had made payable on Saint
Henrys Day" Now it happens that
there is no such saints day in the Ortho-
doX Russian calendar. Hence, how
could the court give judgment on
bond in which it could not be said that
the debtor had made default? Yet
justice evidently required that the
lender of the money should be repaid,
Then it occurred to the judge, who had
a share of the shrewdness of Sancho
Panza or the wit of Joe Miller, that the
festival of "All Saints" must necessari-
~ include even the dubious saint in
question, and he gave judgment accord
ingly for payment on that day.-N. Y.

Few women have had a more miserable
existence and lived to tell the tale than Mrs.
Anna L. Smith of 3l1 Pulaski Avenue,
BROOKLYN With all the comforts that money
affords, with all the happiness that many
loving friends can give, the joy of Mrs.
Smiths life was blasted for years by the
terrible ravages of sickness. The story is
most interesting as told to reporter:
Il was an invalid for years, suffering first
with one complaint and then with another
My case was truly that of complication of
diseases, due to an accident which l received
some ye5rs ago. The thing which caused me
the mostdiscomfort and made me offensive
to my family was the worst case of indiges-
ton imaginable. ! made all around me
miserable by my sufferings, and was most
miserable myself. had the best physician
we couH find, and occasionally his pre-
scriptions relieved me temporarily. But
the pains and misery would all soon return
again. ybecame desperate, and started in
to try remedies of which read. Among
them wer4 the Pink Pills. Their appear
ance captifated me instantly, for / am q
great beliefer in the beautiful. l took the
pills and vllowed out the directions to the
letter, q before many days l began to feel
like aEent woman. For six weeks /
took the pills regularly, and can truthfully
add after that was as well as any one in
the family. This change for the better in my
CO0OlIlOu has CduSeu INV relatives ana
friends to take the pills. We buy them all
from the drug store of John Duryea, at the
corner of De Kalb and Summer Avenues.
81 assure you it was impossible for me to
oversee my household for three years. Now
visit my kitchen every day, do my own
marketing and shopping; in word look
after everything connected with my home
and family.
"Oh, yes, I still keep taking the pills. l
take one daily after dinner. Prevention,
you know, is better ard cheaper than cure
/ verify believe one half of the women
who are suffering from the ills which our
sex are heir to would be up and well if they
could be induced to give the Pink Pills a
fair trial. l certainly recommend them
heartily and feel grateful to the physician
who put them on the market"
Mrs. Smith is woman of some means
and standing in the community and, there
fore, her testimony will be accepted with
out question by all thoughtful people.

Black Currants for Canning.

Because the black currants do not
give as large yields as do the red cur
rants, it does not follow that they are
not profitable for the commercial
grower. The successful grower must
cater to the wants of the market, and
supply everything called for that he can
produce, even if there are varying de-
grees of profit in their cultivation. 1t
is important in this connection to note
that in some markets abroad the word
currant is used for the black currants,
that being the leading variety. In this
country the consumption of black cur
rants is increasing. They are used for
somewhat different purposes than are
the red. They are especially excellent
for canning.

CoIoring Butter and Oleomargarine.

The practice Of coloring butter is SO
universal that it is no longer regarded
as being to any extent an attempt to
deceive. Innocent as it is, it may have
TO be given up in some states for the
sake of depriving oleomargarine of the
same privilege. 1t is evident that the
farmers lose more in allowing oleomar-
garine to be colored than they gain in
being permitted to color butter. They
can then well afford to advocate the
passage of a law that will sweep away
the privilege once for all. 1t is true
that there would have to be very rad
ical change in our butter score cards,

Declined a Handsome Gift,

Some time ago the Catholics of Gin
cinnati decided to present to Arch
bishop Elder testimonial gift on the
approaching 5Oth anniversary of his
ordination to the priesthood. Hearing
of this, Mrs. Bellamy Storer, the wife
of ex-Congressman Storer, offered to
give her handsome house and grounds
in Cincinnati for the purpose. The com
mittee in charge of the matter, how
ever, has just received letter from
the archbishop declining the proposed
gift, on the ground that it would not
be seemly for him to accept a gift
when the diocese is struggling under
debt

1t is possible to find occasion for
thankfulness under the most adverse
circumstances. A good story is told of
an old Crgan-blower who was dying
The curate was visiting him.
Would you mind, sir, asking our
organist to play the Dead March over

Certainly l will, Chapman said the
curate.
"Thankee, sir; none of that ere

Il am sure he will do it," responded
the curate.
The old man lay placidly for awhile,
and then exclaimed, with fervor:

OUR COMMON ROADS.



Million Dollars Year.
The total length of the common roads
in this country, good, bad and indiffer
ent, is estimated by Gen. Stone, of the
road bureau of the department of agri'
culture, at something over 100000
miles. The ajority of these roads have
been opened by common laborers, hired
by local supervisors, and no engineering
principles have been observed in their
construction. As a result, it costs more
to keep them in repair than if they were
as many finely macadamized roads.
Keeping these poor roads in repair and
opening new thoroughfares cost Massa-
chusetts in 1898, outside of cities, ST.
1904, or $1,000 per mile; New York,
$2,50O,000, or $50 per mile, and New
Jersey, SITS, 407S2, or $43.25 per mile.
The total expenditure for roads in that
year amounted to about 100000 As
a greater part of the enormous sum
was spent in repairing poorly-con-
structed roads, that would need exactly
the same attention next year, it is not
an eXaggeration to say that most of
the money was wasted. Fine roads can
be constructed all the way from $500
to $500 per mile, according to the nature
of the country through which they pass,
the cost of crushed stone and other IN
cheering problems. The cost of keep
ing these roads in repair is infinitely
smaller than that required to repair the
ordinary dirt roads each winter and
spring, when great gulleys and ruts are
washed into them by the rains and
