Plain, everyday dishes at the home
liable may be made more appetizing if
the young housekeeper will instruct
her maid-of-all-work to pay a little
more attention to them or if she will
devote a few moments before each
meal to seeing that the dish is prettily
garniShed.
Cold roast lamb is good: but who
wants to have it placed before him in
the whole leg or shoulder without a
sprig of green on a hot day? A simple
and effective way to serve cold lamb
is: Select a large loin and have your
butcher cut each chop up to the joint;
crack the joints. but do not separate
them, and remove the meat an inch
from the end of each chop bone. Now
draw the two ends of the loin together
and tie, spreading the small ends so
they form a circle, and roast as you
would any piece of meat, only remem'
herring that. the chops being separated,
the meat will cook more quickly.
This lamb may be served hot OF
told: but if it is cold. ornament the end
IF each chop bone with a fringed and
curled paper cap. stick a bouquet OF
mint or parsley in the top and upon the
platter between each pair of chops put
spoonful of cold boiled string beans
Or peas. and on the green bed a small
ted ball cut from boiled beets. Serve
/ French dressing in a separate disl
Tor the vegetables.

Milking n Young Heifer.

A heifer with her first calf should
not he bred until she has been milking
at least six months. This fixes the
habit of long milking on the aEi nal,
and she will not dry as soon as If she
were bred in three II onths After the
second or third calf. it is best to let
the calves come about the same time
each year: but this depends upon the
manner Of conducting the dairy. For
tie most profit taking all things into
consideration it is best to have the
COW milking for ten months. and Civ.
ing her 4 rest of two months before
the next calf IS born. If a COW does
not naturally dry of at the end of thai
time, she should be MIXED once a day
only, and then hot MIXED quite dry
Ten days OF SO will be sufficient to les
sen the milk so that the COW may be
left unlnilked.

Starting, a Dairy.

There are every year men starting in
as farmers who have no COWS of any
kind. This class will as a rule find it
to their interest not to stock up the
first year with the full number Of cows
they expect to keep, This is because it
will be found almost impossible to buy
the best ows out of any herd. 1t is
better TO raise a herd of dairy cows
better for several reasons First by
using males of improved dairy breeds,
a better class of cow can be raised
tina eau, as a rule, be purchased; sec
ond, they will be more gentle, if prop
erly trained from calfhood to maturity;
third, they are more contented. and
"contentment counts.
AT tie bottom of all successful dali
rying, whether conducted entirely an

ryins, is the dairy education, dairy

Disease of the Nails.

There are diseases of the nails, for
the nail is subject to unhealthiness not
only from %partaking of loss of color
and tone with the general system. but
from specific diseases, from the action
of powerful chemical agents and from
mechanical injuries. The condition Of
general health is often seen by physi+
clans who look at the color of the nails.
A blush, pale, clolided appearance of
the nail, without any3red,o shows that
you are either full of malaria or that
your entire system is run down." or
that you are on the verge of typhoid,
even, because the nail is almost as
transparent as a piece of glass, and the
absence of that healthy, beautiful
pink glow is a sure indication thai the
red c%orpuscles in your blood are nearly
all turned black, and black cOrpuscles
are simply dead blood, the most
poisoning thing that can be found in
the veins of the human body. Finger
nails are not the cause of the dead
blood (unless you bite them and take
dirt into your mouth that will poison
YOU. but they are the sure sign, right
before your eyes, of the condition Of
your blood.

1t will be found where the soil is
kept loose by blowing and cultivation,
its capacity for absorbing and holding
water is much greater than where it is
neglected. Then every weed and sur
plus growth must be sc~rupulOusly kept
down, as everything that grows is con-
stantly drawing moisture from the soil.
If we can get the upper and lower
moisture in the soil to meet, the battle
is won, for the cultivation is favorable
to the capillary action Of the soil in
drawing moisture from below, and cul-
tivation will prevent it's evaporation
from the surface. II, however, there is
a dry streak Of soil a foot or more be-
| low the surface, vegetation will suffer

MAKING THE CLYDE.
1t Took Ten Years and Cost the City
of Glasgow $3.50. 900.

Glasgow made the Clyde, and the
Clyde made Glasgow" Toward the
close of the last century the true trad
ing spirit had been aroused among the
inhabitants of the building city, and it
was not long before they perceived
that if the community were ever to
rise to eminence in that direction the
city must become a port open to the
commerce of the world. The task was
one of herculean dimensions, but they
set themselves to it with a determine
ton Of purpose which was not to be
daunted by any degree of difficulty.
Much of the best engineering enter
prise and skill Of the world nave been
devoted to the altering, widening, mar
rowing and deepening of the channel,
according to the requirements at diff
ferent parts Of the course. AS a Spec1-
men Of changes that have been made
during the progress of the work, 1T
may be mentioned that when, in 1889,
the act Of parliament was passed
which defined the boundaries of the
river, n of the most extensive textile
factories in the country stood III the
line of what was considered ID be the
best course for the river to take, and
the water is now deep enough over the
site to allow ocean liners to sail.
Many experiments were resorted to
ere success was achieved in the deep
eE.ng at particular places, and the ton-
finement of the water within the de-
sired limits. Several Of the obstacles
encountered might we'll have deferred
the authorities from proceeding
further, had that been possible. The
chief of these was Elderslie rock, a
mass Of dolerite or whinstone, which
was found to occupy the bed of the
stream yer an area Of 925 feet by 800,
and which came within ten feet Of the
surface of the water. The discovery
of this was a shock to all concerned,
but the breaking up and removal Of it
was at once proceeded with in the
ordinary course. 1t took ten years to
do it, however, and during that Time

raised by dredging at the place, while

Dairy Notes


Leaving the butter too wet spoils the

Wheat bran is one of the best foods
for milk.

it get too sour.

The COWS kept is the best indication
Of the condition of the dairyman.
There is much in the breed, much in
the feed. but still more in the feeder.
If you want as little skinned as
possible. select the Jersey.
Winter calves make fully as good
cows as spring calves.
Unless milk is cooled soon after milk
ing it will our rapidly.
Raise your own cows. They will
cost less, quality considered, than those
you n buy.
1t is not so much whether you feed
two or three times a day, as it is to
feed enough each time.
Feed all that the cows will eat up
clean. This will be better than to
feed according to the size of the cow.
One advantage in stirring the crea. n
is that it has a tendency to free 1t
from OdorS and gases.
To some extent at least increased
yield must come from more and better
feed if the cows are good ones.
In order to induce cows to consume
largely Of food it is very essential that
the ration supplied her is a palatable
one.
Good shade, where the breeze can
pass. and plenty Of good water art
very essential to the cows comfort
now.
If the cows are allowed to eat thu
bitter ragweed the milk will be bitteri
While the grass is plentiful however,
they will not eat much weeds.
At this time care must be taken til
see that the pastures supply plenty of
food; otherwise the COWS may begin to-
fail in their milk-giving.
For scours in calves, 4 raw-egg brok-
Ell into their milk is recommended as
tho most effectual remedy. \ piece of
rennet is also said to be good, but the
raw egg is preferred.
One advantage in using parchment
paper i'll which to wrap the butter is
that it does not stick to the butter,
while protecting it from the air. 1t is
air-proof and waterproof, %tasteless and
odorless.
Now that there seems to be plenty
of creamery butter-makers, an ex-
change thinks it would be well for the
dairy schools to pay more attention to
instruction in farm dairying. There is
a great need for education along this
line.
An English dairyn an, in a lecture on
how to get a better price for butter,
suggested the use of a trademark, and
that butter should not be sent to shops
and stores to be classed with that or
an inferior quality. and sod mt a uni
forlEly bad price. lie also suggested
that dairy farmers should combine to
get a concession from the postoffice,
so that butter could be posted any
where in the country at a pe~-.Y a
pound.

Butter-Making without Ice.


zone great advantage that the
creamery has over the private dairy is
Il supply of ice to use in hot weather."
says a writer in Epitomist. lice in a
creamery comes so near a necessity
that few would undertake to run one
without ice But an abundant supply
of water will answer the purpose. 1t
takes longer to cool with water than it
does to throw a lot of ice into the
cream, but there are objections to cool
ing by putting ice into the cream. The
reports from all markets now contain
the information that NEST Of the
creamery butter has defects, due to hot
weather. And yet the creameries all
have ice. In the private dairy it is
much easier to get along without ice.
In the first place no cream has to be
carted along the road in hot weather
and become heated. In the second
place there is less cream to cool. and,
therefore, less water will be needed.
In the third place the cows need water,
and the water used to cool the dairy
house can be run through it and go to
the cows, so there is no extra water
needed to. cool the cream. In the fourth
place a large tank Of water should
stand in the dairy house and the cream
can be set in this and it will keep cool
and need no extra cooling. When the
butter comes, cold water is necessary,
not ice. If the wind blows, this prob
lem is already solved on Iowa farms,
for they have windmills to pump for
stock and the stock water can run
through the dairy house. But if the
wind will not blow at that time, then
hand pumping must be resorted to for
the supply, or other provisions made.
No hand pumping is done for our dairy.
A tread power stands in the power
house near by and a shaft runs
through the dairy house. If cold wa
ter is desired when the zephyrs are
asleep, a horse is led into the tread
and he does the work. No ice Is de-
sired for butter making with such con-
venienceS. Pure, fresh, cold water
suits better than stale water made cold
with ice. A refrigerator is in the dairy
house also. No ice is used in it, but
simply cold water. Instead of putting
cold water into this refrigerator, the re-
frigerator is put into the cold water.
1t is a galvanized iron tank inside of
the water tank, and the water passing
purposes, keeps butter hard and nice
in the refrigerator. In hot, still
weather there is no trouble, for, if the
wind is missing, the supply OF water is
kept up by a horse power for stock,
and so the water in the dairy house is
| always cold"
