AS Dumas, the grandfather, prided
himself moro upon his wonderful

prided himself more upon his knowledge

Woman's Ideas of Figures and Measure.
ments Usually Unreliable.
However accurate in many things the
average woman may be, her idea of
figures and measurements are pretty
sure to be vague and unreliable, says
the New York Evening Sun. She has,
seemingly, no conjunction whatever
about declaring thing to be two
yards long when she means two feet. A
woman once came home from yacht
ing trip and described 30-foot mast
as measuring 800 feet, and all with such
calm assurance that not one of her as
founded listeners dared contradict her.
Mr.. Howells, who knows something of
feminine nature, has not failed to touch
upon this frailty. "Why, Agnes, that's
only ten," says Mr.. Roberts in enumer-
ating "the elevator" dinner party; ''you
said that there were twelve guests. !"
"Well, never mind" answers Mrs Rob-
erts, with complacent and character
istic logic, 81 meant ten" It was not
one of Mr.. Howells' heroines, however,
who triumphantly announced that
certain edifice that she had seen abroad
measured three miles in length. Even
her long-suffering husband, hardened
as he was to such rash and reckless
statistics, couldn't stand that. He
therefore, slyly touched his wife's foot
under the table. Whereupon the wom-
an promptly added: "And two feet

AN EXCELLENT TESTER.

Directions Here Given Explain How One
Can Be Made at Home
The universal favor with which the
Babcock tester is regarded by progress
sive dairymen almost makes its intro
duction an absolute necessity in every
well regulated dairy. The seemingly
low price Of dairy products. with the
prospect of high-priced rations, would
indicate greater reason for every farm
er who has herd of COWS to know just
what each individual animal is doing
for him in return for the feed fed TO
them. Even when feed is plenty and
low in price, it is not within the bounds
of economy to shiftlessly feed COW
that has poor assimilative powers and
fails under the light of figures to give
net profit to her owner, to continue to
keep her and still reduce the profit OF
another that gave milk of high testing
value.
Many dairymen have provided them
selves with a tester and are acting in
this regard wisely, but very large ma
jority have either carelessly neglected
to supply the need or do not care to go
to the expense of purchasing one for
their few COWS.
The present crop conditions inOhio
will demand that many of US must cut
down our stock or purchase feed at
outrageous prices, hence the necessity
of the elimination of those animals
which are the poorest producers at the
pail and churn and the keeping OF those
which will come nearest making a prof
liable attachment TO the farm or will
prove source of revenue regardless OF
high-priced feed.
For the purpose Of encouraging the
introduction Of the testerI will give an
illustration with description of a cheap,
reliable one, that can be made and oper-
ated at very low cost and give just as
good results as those purchased o;
creamery supply companies.
The agricultural press has given SC
much upon the manner OF use and man
ipulation of the tester that little upon
that point will be necessary at this time
further than to say that the greatest
care and exactness must be brought
into play from the beginning to the
close d@ each test, otherwise no good
can possibly accure from its use.
In the first place, an old sewing ma
chine that can be bought very cheap, or
donated, must be secured. One thai

1t is a common excuse with over
indulgent mothers for emitting to cor
rect even glazing improprieties OF feel
ing or of conduct that the child is "too
young to listen to reason" and that It
will be time enough to check such abb
creations afterward. This Is a great
mistake. In infancy we are governed
not by reason. but by the wel1-directed
affection and kindness of our guardi'
ans; and to wait till the development
of child's understanding before we
commence its moral training is to wait
till years of unregulated indulgence
shall have strengthened its more self
ish and powerful appetites and pas,

has large fly wheel on which a band
runs the pulley for propelling the
works of the machine will necessarily
be the best,and the larger the fly wheel
and the smaller the pulley the better.
Usually most machines have shaft
about or 10 inches to which this pulley
about or 10 inches to which this pulley
is attached at one end and crank
wheel at the needle end. This shaft
and its equipments can be removed
from the arm and used for the shaft on
which the arms for the buckets and bot
ties are to be attached.
A table or stand of some kind must be
provided as foundation upon which to
construct the machine. Often the
stand of the old sewing machine will
answer quite well by screwing on a
piece of Pinch plank under the top,
about feet in length, extending out or
one side sufficient length to attach the
fly wheel, as indicated by the dotted
lines in cut. Any old table that is 31a
feet long makes a frst-rate pedestal.
The arms A are made from 1b-inch
galvanized strap iron, foot long, and
riveted to the crank plate on the shaft
with two holes at c, drilled in each end,
on which the buckets are hung from
wire hooks soldered into $40 buckets.
The latter are inches in and 49,
inches in diameter.
Sometimes the bearings of the shaft
can be utilized in hanging it in an up
right position, plumbed and made to
run true. The pulley wheel is located
at the table where the shaft passes
through, allowing the shaft to extend
nearly inches above the stand and suf-
ficient distance below to get steady
motion, either in iron or wooden bear
ings.
From the shaft center measure out
&c inches on the four sides, inscribe
lines and take quarter round and form
ledge at the line with fiat side out.
Then construct box out of some light
h-inch material, 10 inches high, so that
it will drop over the outside of the
quarter round. Cut out holes at B B for
