DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

When the fodder begins to get low,
don't scrimp the COWS; better buy some
clover hay and some grain.
If the udder is inclined to be infiamed,
battle it with hot water, and rub thor
oughly dry, reduce the feed and nature
will help.
The man who cannot be gentle and
tender with his cows should not be a
dairyman or stock breeder. He should
go into some other business.
Where the most thought and care are
bestowed on the cows, there the cows
give the best net dividends. 1t is about
so with all business.
A few days before calVing each COW
should be given a moderate dose of
epson salts, molasses and ginger. After
the calf is dropped she should have an
other dose.
When u COW will make a pound of
butter day, in her best condition, for
a month at time, upon hay or grass
only, she will doubtless pay for grain
ration in addition to it, if properly pro-
portioncd and properly fed. The high
est product always come from full
supply of material.-Rural World.

Bnrbed Wire Telephones.

Clarence and John Taylor, living a
mile apart on the Taylor farms in East
Dickinson county, Kan, have solved
the communication problem. Attach
ing fine telephone instruments to the
barbed-wire fence that connects their
places, they have an easy method of
communication. During the recent
storm, when weeds and debris were
piled on the fence, it. made no differ
ence in the transmission of sound and
they talked with ease. They will ex-
tend the line 2ia miles to Pearl Station,
ON the Rock Island, and receive mar
ket reports and news by telephone.
The whole neighborhood is fenced with
barbed wire, and several other instru-
ments will doubtless be put in, making
a large prairie system.

PLANTING SUGAR BEETS.
Hints from n Circular Issued by n
Sugar Factory,

Hints from n Circular Issued by n
Sugar Factory.
Plant space 66 feet square-one tenth
of an acre.
Keep all stock off the land after the
rains begin.
Plew deep, break up thoroughly, pull
verize the soil before planting.
Sow when the soil is warm, after the
rains, say in April or May.
One pound of seed will seed one-tenth
of an acre.
Sow in rows IS or 21 inches apart.
Sow with drill, forced feed; SOW
shallow, just deep enough to be covered.
Seed should come up in seven to twen-
ty-one days.
Thin the beets as soon as they de-
yelop four leaves.
Thin out from six to ten inches, ac.
cording to richness of soil.
Leave only one beet in one place, and
that the most vigorous one.
Keep weeds out entirely.
Do not allow the crust to form on the
top of the land after seeding or while
beets are growing.
Continue to keep the soil loose by
drawing n cultivator between the rows
until the tops cover the ground.
Beets should ripen in from 120 to 160
days from the time of seeding.
When the outer leaves turn yellow and
die down, it is an indication that the
beets are ripening or ripe.
To get proper sample, dig two or
three rows in different parts of the
field. Sort them into three sizes-large,
medium and small-and take every
goth beet at random from the three
piles.
Sample should contain 25 to 30 beets.
Do not cut the tops off with knife,
but twist the leaves off.
Ship in sacks as soon as possible after
digging.
Mark each sack plainly with name and
address of raiser. Send duplicate ship
ping receipt and letter containing full
particulars, by mail, stating yield in
pounds of the tenth acre seeded.

Household Hints.

Potted ferns will soon die If dirt is
allowed to accumulate on them. An
occasionally syringing will keep them
clean.
The oval table is generally better
suited for decoration than the square.
Three-handled loving cups in cut
glass afford very effective receptacle
for flowers.
China in white and gold always looks
well. A variety of colors destroys the
harmonious effect and renders the
scheme undesirable.
Many removes from the primitive
biscuit jar are luxurious modern affairs
in cut glass, with silver gilt tops, set
with a miniature framed in jewels.
Old potatoes are greatly improved by
being soaked in cold water over night,
or at least several hours after peeling.
The water should be changed once or
twice.

Antoinette fashions come clocks with

1t is well established fact that the
solids in milk, other than butter fats,
are almost stationary, that is, in 100
pounds of milk it is very rare to find less
than eight pounds or more than ten
pounds of milk sugar, casein and min
eral matter, while it is not u9,ommon
to find COW giving milk with only
21s pounds of butter fat and another
COW giving milk with eight pounds of
butter fat to the 100 pounds of milk.
Such being the case, it is of the utmost
Importance for the dairyman to know
how to produce milk high in butter fat.

The Practice of Planting Orchards
should BE Quite Popular.
This is receiving more attention in
some parts of our older states and de-
serves much more than it gets any
where. Our public lands are so near ex-
hausted for homesteads, that the su-
perabundance of land in the United
States will not allow us to be wasteful
in IFS use. In Germany the planting OF
forest trees by the roadside is no longer
a practice. The highways are a con-
tinuous garden. The owner of adja-
cent land has charge of the roadway
fruit; but the roadway officials assume
charge of the care and protection of the
trees. The railways are now following
the growing custom, and planting APP
Piles and pears along the side of their
tracks. There are a few sections in the
United States where apple and cherry
have for some years been the common
road trees. The fruit, so far as l can
see, is no more subject to molestation
than that which grows inside the lines
of strictly private ownership. / found
near ithaca, n. Y, choice cherries by
the side of the road; and the trees were
loaded with undisturbed fruit. Pos
sibly most of us would consent that
even half of such fruit should refresh
the wayfarers, if we could utilize the
streets, and have half the product as
compensation for the planting. In this
section of the state apple trees line
some of the roadways, but more atten-
tion il, given to ornamental shrubbery,

If you still prefer to use single sup
port of siX-foot poultry wire, frame it
up well, and tack on the posts short
crosspieces, from the ends of which
stretch wires to hold the vines well up
to the poultry-wire. In regard to

tion on the subject of cooking Receipts
for the preparation of good, substantial and
dainty dishes, prepared especially for it by
a leading authority, will be found in its
pages. Much care has been taken in its
preparation and distribution, with the hope
that it will be just the thing needed for
housekeepers, and just the thing needed
also for the care of the health and house
hold. As Cookery Book it will be invalua-
hle to keep on hand for reference.

To give some idea of the labor and ex-
pense of this output, more than 200 tons OF

How Safe Breakers Can Tell When They

In the county jail the other after
noon Sohn Atkinson, the alleged robber
and pal" of 0'Neil, who is now serving
long term in the penitentiary for one
OF the most daring "hold-ups" in the
history of the city, did not know that
the reporter was newspaper man,
consequently talked more freely than
is his wont. The conversation drifted
from one subject to another, and all
the while Deputy Barry was playing
with the combination lock on the door
of the ''bull pen"
That's a pretty good lock-" said
Atkinson.
did you ever work any of this kind
of loclSs?" asked the deputy.
Atkinson smiled. THAT lock on q
safe would be easy" said he.
Come out and let us see how you
would go at anything like that" said
the deputy, at the same time opening
the door, Atkinson did as he was bid
den, and at once commenced to explain
the mechanism of the lock.
We'll, let's see you try it," said the
deputy, becoming interested. Atkin-
son hesitated for several minutes, say
ing that he could not work" that
ombination because it did not have the
same backing as a safe lock. Deputy
Barry insisted upon being shown how it
was done. Atkinson got down upon his
knees and went to work He kneeled
as close to the lock as possible, and
put his tongue upon the metal ring
around the knob of the mbination.
Deputy Barry watched him intently,
and suddenly stopped Atkinson in his
work. He had made the first move in
the combination correctly, and the
deputy thought this enough. Atkin-
son was willing to stop, and then eX-
planned his work.
You perhaps know" said Atkinson,
that the nerves in the end of the
tongue are very delicate and sensitive.
Well, when the combination gets to the
right point, the minutest click is sent
at once to the brain. That's how we
know we are right.
The deputy was astounded. William
Clark, the alleged murderer, was stand
ing near at the time. He seemed to be
perfectly familiar with Atkinson's
methods, and Immediately proposed
another and better method. He said:
1T is much easier if you have darn
ing needle, place it on the tumblers,
and put the other end in a hollow tooth.
If there is a nerve in the tooth the first
click, no matter how slight, sends a
thrill through your head"
I've tried that scheme, too," said
Atkinson, "and have found it to be a
good one. cleveland Leader.
