Horses are sometimes rendered
vicious by the needless groon1s tickling
them in the stable. If the horse is not
even-tempered he may be very easily
spoiled in this way. and any horse may
be taught bad habits
Any manner of brutal abuse should
not be permitted. In bargaining for
our help we always have 1t strictly
understood that the first blow dealt
one of our cows means the immediate
discharge of the man who dealt it. The
result IS our cows are not abused.
From this fact 1 can say that do not

Barns are occasionally set on fire by

TESTING THE DAIRY HERD.

A good COW mas a bright, observing
eye; so has the good dailylnan. / know
a mechanic who is just starting in the
dairy business because the factory is
closed down. He lives in the city, bu-
keeps one COW for home use, and sells
milk to his neighbors. He knew he he'd

two or three others just as good, and if
possible little better
How IS he to know when he found
one for sale whether she was good,
bad or Indifferent? Ask the owner?
The owner would say she gave five
gallons of milk a day, as near as he
could guess, though he never MIXED
her himself. or noticed her milk very
carefully. But he would avow that
she was as good a COW as one would
find in a days drive.
No; your friend had his eyes oDen
to business, and he made a, trip of
twelve miles to have his cows milk
tested. It showed 6.6 per cent butter
fat. He then said he would be willing
to give a fair price for any cow as
good as his. Of course, those who had
cows to sell said their cows were as
good as his, and perhaps a, little bet
ter. He saw the cows MIXED; he took

ADVICE EROM HETrrY GREEN.

a New York reporter a day or two
ago interviewed Miss Hetty Green, the
richest woman in America" regarding the
best way to invest small sums of money.
Mrs. Green said:
4 would advise any woman with $500
at her command to invest it in real es-
tate. She would buy the real estate
at auction or on occasions when circum-
stances have forced the sale. If she will
watch for such an opportunity it will
surely come. and she viii find that she
can buy a parcel of land at one-third its
appraised value. 1 regard real estate
Investment as the safest means of in
vesting idle money. 1t does not always
bring a. steady interest, but it is less
likely to depreciate in value than stocks,
which are always somewhat uncertain.
A woman with tact and ability will be
on the alert to learn of a mortgage about

negotiate with the owner of the prop
erty, and give him enough to clear his
debt, thus saving him the costs OF a sale.
Many d woman mas profited by an oppor-
tunity of this kind. OF course, if a wo-
man has $500 cash and wishes to speculate
she may branch out more broadly and
take greater risks, with the prospect of
greater returns. But she should bear in
mind that real estate is the collateral to
be preferred to all others

FARMING OF, 4 PROFESSION.

Would you advise me to stay on the
farm or seek some other profession? This
question was asked me a few days ago
by a young man, and the answer may be
profitable to d number of readers, says C.
w. Norris in the Epitomist. The choice
of a profession or vocation TO which future
years are to be given and by which a
living is to be gained is, or ought to be,
largely a question Of taste and aptitude.
Necessity is sometimes our master, and
we are all governed more or less by cir
cumStances. 1t is the delight Of destiny
to countercharge the plans and purposes
of man. | therefore urge all young men
to choose the life that will prove most
useful. which | think is farming, trusting
to habit TO make ii agreeable. This much
can be said in favor of farming: There
is no business in which moderate success
is so nearly certain. / know from e&pe-
rience that much of the work on the farm
is rough and some almost repulsive. /
know by experience that there are risks
in farming as well as in other business.

and insects. often destroy the labor OF

fail to grow sufficient for the coming
year. cannot now recall one who failed
to secure this, provided ne practiced the
virtues of economy, industry, temperance
and energy, and was not Frustrated by
sickness or other calamity. My young
friend appears to regard the chance of
money making the strong point of pro-
fession. / am willing that this should
stand first, for we all have to live, but
a profession or vocation for life ought to
mean more than this. 1t should mean
opportunity for development OF all our
powers. physical, moral. mental and spir-
ituai This means the formation of char
acter. the building up OF n grand and no.

on the farm. Farming is becoming an in

The Dairy.

A waiting COW is a worrying COW;
remember this and feed regularly.
Do not mix nights and mornings
milk unless both are thoroughly cooled.
Working undfssolved salt into butter
will soon cut or grind all senblance
to grain out of it.
So far as is possible, the food for the
dairy COW must be as nearly uniform
in quality and quantity as possible.
DaiTymen, or at least milk produc
ers, have learned that cabbages are an
excellent food for milcn cows, and that
they can be utilized in the fall or kept
through the winter for that purpose,
and thus they grow the winter cab
bages more largely, marketing some of
the best when carrying in other pro-
duce, If the price exceeds what they
think to be the feeding value.
There are many things that will
cause a shrinkage in the milk which
cannot be recovered dfterward. Among
them are dry and scanty pastures,
without a suitable supplementary ra-
ton; the chasing of dogs, keeping
cows from water until they will race
to get it. and then they will gorge
themselves: in short, anything that
tends to disturb the even tenor of
their ways.
If you have not a cool storeroom
where any amount of butter may be
kept sweet and firm, cover the butter
with brine. First make the butter into
rolls and wrap them in pieces of mus
lin Make a brine of six quarts of wa
ter, using SO much salt that an egg
will float in it. Add two tablespoonful
of granulated sugar and half q. table
spoonful Of saltpeter. Have the brine
come to q boil, and when it is cold
strain it over the butter The brine
should mere than cover it. a weight
can be put over the rolls to keep them
under the surface to exclude the air.

samples of their milk and had them
tested. They frequently fell far below
his estimates, and not for some time
did he find COWS that gave both a large
flow of milk and a large per cent of
butter fat.
Now, some reader may ask what diff
ference did it, make if the milk was
below the standard in butter fat, so
long as he was not making, butter He
was selling his milk on its merits, and
to a special class of customers who
wanted a good article, and were will
ing to pay for it. He was determined
to sell per cent milk, at least, and
with his class of customers he was
right in that determination.
But TO the butter-maker the question
of butter fat in the milk drawn from
his cows is OF much more Importance.
His cows either pay him revenue CT
they collect a revenue from him. How
many are there of each class in the
average herd? 1 doubt if one farmer in
ten can tell. He may guess at 1T, but
is quite likely 20 be mistaken. They
usually judge by the flow of milk
alone. This is very deceptive. l have
known of cows with half the flow Of
milk make more than twice the
amount of butter of another COW in
the same herd. While the big COW
Was getting credit Tor SooQ WORK, II
was the little cow that deserved it.
Let both quality and quantity count
in the contest. Better sacrifice guam
tity, however, rather than quality.
Care and feed are also important fac
tors in the profitable cow. The COW
that has no other shelter than a rail
fence in winter cannot be expected to
prove very profitable. She consumes
too much butter in her effort to keep
warm. She sheds too many tears for
the wrongs she has endured. Give her
a warm stable in winter, a shady pas
ture in summer, an abundance Of
proper food, and she will give back in
return a good flow of milk. If she
does not return favors for favors, turn
her off for beef

FARMER. IS. CITIZEN.

Some farmers have the mistaken idea
that every business man or manufacturer
is continually piling UP profits at from 10
to 40 per cent. of the capital invested.
While it is true that some business men
succeed and accumulate large wealth, it
is nevertheless a fact that less than one
business man in twenty is a success. 1t
is the twentieth man who is seen by
everyone, the other nineteen are always
IN sight but never in view. In farming
this order may not be quite reversed but
such is nearer the fact than many are
willing to grant and strange as it may
ure in farming whom the farmers Will
see, and in nine times out OF ten he is
not the brightest man in the community
either. 1t is not just nor fair for a
farmer to be a pessimist in regard to
his own calling and an optimist in regard

THE FAR MER's WIFE.

Too much has been written about the
"overworked farmers wife" Such arti-
cles may help to open the eyes Of some
thoughtless husbands. but they also serve
to frighten some city wives, whose hus-
bands would like to live on a farm If only
the wife were willing. 1 remember that,
when my husband first told me that he
would like to live on a farm, / thought it
ground for a divorce, and told him so.
All [ knew of farm life was what I had
read. and all 1 could seem to remember
of that was that the farmers wife
worked from morning until night. day III
and day out; that she never could go
anywhere, or if by any possible chance
she could. she never had anything fit to
wear. Now / know that there are farm
ers' wives who enjoy themselves, and
who have far more of the comforts of life
than most city wives. If there are others
who have TO work too hard. let US not
tell or write OF it. but, like the skeleton,
shut it in the closet that it may not
brighten others, for the man who would
thoughtlessly overworlS his wife in the
country would let her starve in the city.
