Women Have Found Another Use
for the HypOdermtc Syringe.
From Paris comes the news that per-
fumes have been restored to favor,
The use of hypodermic injections of
violet extract is the latest freak Of the
Parisienne. This method is said to i'm
part lasting fragrance to the skin. 1t
is already quite easy to select among
the women at receptions those who are
addicted to this habit.
Tho plan originated with a Paris
druggist, who communicated it to a
few well known women. They confided
In others, who in turn told their
friends. Now, it is asserted, half the
society women in the gay city use the
needle and the delicate extract.
This is all the more surprising from
the fact that, until very recently, the
use Of scents has been considered eX-
ceedingly bad form. Women of refined
taste avoided everything in that line
except a delicate sachet powder, which
was allowed to find a place in the
handkerchief box and clothes closet.
Most Partisan whims find enthusiastic
supporters here, however and it is

morphine tiend and cologne drinker we
shall have the perfume faddist.

DR.. John G. Barron Of No. IS Broad

Campbell Cattle company, whose
ranches are in New Mexico. tells this
story of a fall from Il precipice of a

had to jump up on it. On the opposite
side Of the ledge there was a preci-
pice, broken by several lodges. 1t was
300 feet to the bottom.
The pony referred to jumped, but,
falling to measure the distance cor

he went clear e and down the prec-

Swine-raising fits in with the dairy
so admirably that it is almost a neces-

The milking must be done quietly,

At calying the COWS are inclined to
be fcverish, and for this reason, at
this time, their food should be cooling
and laxative.
Winter dairying requires more feed
of a suitable kind, warmer and better
buildings and usually a little more
work.
For the benefit Of the owner, IL not
for the good of the animal, the COW
should receive such attentions as will
insure the best conditions for the pro.

By using the separator, perfectly

buoyancy. battery and lamp power far
above the ordinary run Of such de-
vices. q most favorable report has been
given. The type of buoy tested con-
sists of a ring mounted in a frame
work Of metal tubing. The ring of
the buoy is normally in the plane Of
the frame; but when the buoy is drop
ped into the water the ring turns
around and rests upon the water in
the same way as the ordinary life
buoy. In doing this it operates an au-
tomato switch. which controls the
lights. At the lower end Of the frame
is a battery box, containing cells, made
water tight by a packing of rubber,
with wax or tar. The framework
passes from the ends Of the battery
box upward, meeting in an arch over
the ring. On the top of this arch is
the lantern, n glass globe covering one
or more pairs of incandescent lamps.
For sailing vessels along the coast, or
any vessel which has no dynamo, or
other facilities for charging batteries,
this apparatus will meet every proba-
bic demand for a life buoy. For lamps
of large candle-power, that are re-
quired to burn a long time, a storage
battery is recommended, especially
where access to a dynamo can he had.
Accumulators are now so well made
that they will lose but 20 per cent of
their charge by standing in a place
kept dry. as the buoy battery box will
be. On a steamer, which almost in
variably has its dynamo, the care of
such cells is an easy matter. The in
ventor of this buoy is understood to
be occupied in the designing of a salt
water battery Of such power that it
will burn a strong light for several
continuous nights when overheard. In
spite Of its large efficiency capacity,
it will neither take up much room, or
be cumbersome to handle. 1t will al
ways be ready for use, and will re-
quire no attention.

an Intelligent answer. Though churn-
ing whole milk has been practiced on
q large scale In Northern Germany
and also in Scotland, we do not be-
lieve it is used ut present anywhere.
Just as fine butter can he made, hut
not more than by the old skimming
processes. and not as much as by skim
ming by centrifugal force. The writer
of this used sometimes to warm the
cream by adding fresh whole. milk to
the cream jar when he could not get
enough cream in three days to make a
churning; but in view of the latterday
experience with churning rich cream
at a low temperature, we can recon-
mend this plan only in exceptional
cases. AS to churning whole milk
alone. we cannot recommend it, unless
indeed there is n good sale for the un-
usual quantity Of buttermilk; or, pos
sibly, in warm climates where the
milk would sour before the cream
would rise in pans. where there is no
cold water or ice for deep setting, and
where there is not enough milk to re-

Management Of the Cow.

1t will not hurt any animal that ia
kept for dairy purposes to have a calf
at two years old. As milking is the
principal end in life of such Il COW, the
sooner she begins her business the bet
ter. and if she is the kind Of a cow that
will pay to be kept in a dairy of any
kind she will pay to come in at this
age. Even otherwise, it is possible to
make good cows Of the calves Of such
an animal by persistent good feeding
when they are young, and stimulating
whatever habit Of milking they may
have %naHlrally. A very great deal
may be done in this way in a few
years by good management. 1t is true
that many more good cows are made in
this way than are born good, and COWS
must first be made good before they
can he born SO.

Creamery and Dairy Butter.

If we study the market reports we
shall find that in general quotations
are much higher for the creamery than
for the dairy butter. This has given
rise to an impression, quite generally
held, that in some mysterious way the
butter made in a factory is better than
1t is possible for butter to be that is
made on a farm. Now this is entirely
erroneous. Not only is it perfectly pos
slble to make good butter as can be
made on n farm, but it is a matter of
great difficulty and does not require an
expensive or elaborate equipment. The
principles that govern the manufacture
of good butter are the same in either
case. Their observance will result in
good butter on the farm just as surely
as their neglect will result in bad but.
