MILK FROM srR1ppER COWS.

When a COW has been long milking
and is not in calf the quality of the
milk changes, and at times it is impos-
sible to get butter from the cream.
This is so pronounced a characteristic
Of such milk that one COW in herd of
This kind will be apt to cause trouble
in the churning. The most satisfac.
tory way to manage herd is to have
at least half of the COWS within not
more than two months of their calv-
ing, or at most four months then the
effect of the long milking of the others
is not apt to have any i'll effect on the
behavior of the cream in the churn.

A SHARP REJoINDER,

Some years ago Rev. E. Klumph, now OF
Elm, Wayne County, Mich, while seated In
a village store, accosted saloon keeper
with the remark:
"Come over to the church tonight and
hear me lecture on temperance"
The reply was: ~ won't; you said whisky
sellers were robbers"
II didn't" replied Mr.. Klumph.
"What did you say?"
81 ~ said you were worse than robber.
said you took my innocent boy, and sent
me home a maudlin fool. I said you took
an intelligent man, and sent lunatic to the
asylum. said you took respected citizen,
and sent criminal to prison. I said you
took father and sent q fend to throw bis
family into the street. said you took q
loving husband, and sent demon to kick
his wife. said you took the immortal soul
and sent 1t to hell. said you were worse
than robber."

"HARMuEss CIDER ~

A few months ago two boysrode to coun-
try store. One Of them bought and drank
four glasses Of "harmiess cider" They then
went TO country church. disturbed the con-
gregation, who were holding social. and,
starting home, overlook others.
The boy, only nineteen years old, who
had drank tho cider, began a quarrel with
another young man, and before the others
realized what was taking place, had killed
him; end he was the son OF a widow. The
boy. only nineteen years old, was sentenced
to the penitentiary for twenty years: SO two
homes are made desolate BY four glasses OF
cider.
Not until the anguish Of that widowed
mothers heart, as she sat listening TOR the
the tread OF those who bore her the lifeless
form Of her boy, can be estimated can We

ONE MANS REASONS.

saw, for instance, that whole Nations had
not only lived without 1t. but had fourished
without 1t. I saw the remarkable fact that
there was some 10000 persons In England
who, though many OF them had made them
selves mere tunnels for drink. though they
had been accustomed to drink from their
childhood, though most Of them had been
brought to prison, either directly or indi-
rectly, through drink, yet the very day, that
they entered the gates of prison all drink
was entirely taken from them, and yet there
was not single instance on record in which
any OF them had suffered in consequence.

RULES FOR THINNING FRUIT,


First-No tree should have more
fruit on it than it can hold up well and
mature in perfection-that is to say,
that the trees should be not so loaded
as to require their being propped, or
so much that the branches bend very
severely. This checks the growth Of
the fruit to such IN extent as to injure
the quality.
second-Every time tree has too
much fruit it weakens it's vitality to
such an extent as to require two or
three years to recover, or so checks it's
growth that it begins to decline, and
is permanently injured.
Third-In the production of an
overcrop it costs the tree more to
ripen the seeds than to make the fruit.
Fourth-If from tree heavily load.
ed there is taken one.half or even
three-fourths OF the fruit, there will
be more bushels of fruit than there
would be if all was left on the trees.
Fifth-By this practice there will
be less poor fruit put upon the mar.
ket, and the good will bring better
prices and give infinitely better satis-
faction.
Sixth-Thinning makes the fruit of
much better quality, makes it keep
longer and produces finer, handsomer,
more attractive and much more desir-
able and salable fruit.
Seventh-When our orchardists
shall look upon thinning as important
as cultivation, pruning, care and at
tention, they will succeed in supply
ing our markets with perfect fruit and
of the very best quality, and thus in
crease the demand, enhance the value
and give vastly more satisfaction to
both the producer and the consumer.

DEGRADING IN EVERY WAY.

Awrtter In one OF the French magazines
saws that the manufacture and consumption
of alcohol in that country Is degrading the
people mentally, morally and physically, re-
filling the hospitals. asylums and prisons:
These physical wrecks bring into the world
miserable offsprlngs which inherit weak
body and soon show the tastes of their par.

consumption of liquors made from essences,
and especially absinthe. which Is said TO oe

TEMPERANCE
TO A JUG OF RUM.


This address to n jug OF Rum" was nrs
published In 1915. 1t Is as applicable now a
when 1t first appeared:
"Here, only by cork controld,
And slender walls of earthen mould,
In all the pomp of death, repose
The seeds of many bloody noses,
The chattering tongue, the horrid oath;
The fist for fighting nothing loath;
The passion which no word can tame,
That bursts like sulphur into flame;
The nose carbuncled, glowing red;
The bloated eye, the broken head;
The tree that bears the deadly fruit
or murder. manning and dispute.
Assaults that Innocence assails;
The images Of gloomy jails:
The giddy thought on mischief bont;
The midnight hour in riot spent;
All these within this jug appear.
And Jack, the hangman, In the rear"

GRADES OF PURE BRED HOGS.

Observing farmers, when they con.

tinuing their Investigation further.
find the pure bred animal still much
superior to even the high grade. It
then becomes question as to which
will be the most profitable, sacrifice
the present females and invest in pure
bred animals exclusively, or retain the
females and trust to pure bred male
to raise. the quality Of the herd. On
this subject George @. Newton writes:
81 would be pleased if you would
give me little information in regard
to breeding up my present stock Of
hogs. / have q good average stock Of
hogs. Would it pay best to procure q
thoroughbred boar, or would it be
best to get q thoroughbred SOW and
breed her to the best I can obtain in
this country? Please tell me which
you consider the best and quickest way
to do. I am much pleased with your
paper in every way"
If the intention is to raise hogs and
dispose of them for breeding pur-
poses there is but one answer to the
foregoing, and that is to procure one
or more pure bred sows and mate them
with the best pure bred boar obtain
able. Competition among breeders Is
now keen and it would be folly for Q
beginner to start in the business with
any but the best stock that money
could buy. But on the other hand,
if the intention is to raise hogs to be
sold on the market for pork, We would
not advise sacrificing the present
sows, if they are good breeders, but
would purchase pure bred male, as
good as our pocketbook would allow.
By continuing this method for several
years, invariably selecting the best Of
the young sows for breeders, it would
require but short time to secure an
excellent herd. .....--
The great object among swine breed
ers has been to produce an animal ss
near as possible in confirmation to
rectangular box, with four legs set
squarely below for support. And now
when they have succeeded the packers
and butchers unite in telling Us that
such hogs are no longer desired.
The hog now in demand is somewhat
thin and spare with the sides well
streaked with lean, and this being the
case the chances are that the sows OF
our correspondent would be equally
as we'll adapted for raising pigs to be
fattened for slaughter as would some
of the pure bred. If desired pure
bred SOW, one or more might be pur-
chased as means will allow, and by
keeping the progeny separate few
years at most would suffice to have all
pure bred sows necessary for breeding
purposes.
But as regards the boar. We have
decided opinions on that subject, and
would earnestly urge every reader to
be satisfied with nothing short of q
pure bred animal OF individual merit.
For q farmer in moderate circum-
stances, and with present prices pre-
vailing for hogs, We could not advise
the sacrifice of good average sows and
the investment of the proceeds in pure
bred stock, when the progeny is to be
sold for slaughter.-Iowa Homestead.
