CARE OF DAIRY HERD.
Palatabflity of Feed Has Much to Do
with the Milk Fl0W.


The feed must be sound. We can
not feed musty, moldy hay or decayed
feed and keep the cows system in order
aud produce perfect milk. l have had
trouble from feeding moldy hay from
top of stack and bottom of mows,
from feeding mo)dy ground feed and
also from feeding decayed silage, says
Mr.. Gurler. Many dairymen expose
too much surface at one time in their
silos; so much that they cannot keep
ahead Of decay. In constructing a silo,
plan to have no more than eight sur
face feet per cow to be fed exposed at
once. Make the compartments of such
size that this object will be secured.
One point we must be always looking
after is palatability. We cannot expect
q cow to do profitable work with food
that she does not like or relish. We
can by neglecting this matter secure
no profit from cows that would with
proper treatment produce 300 pounds
Of butter per annum. There does not
= year pass that l do not have this
point impressed upon my mind by my
own experience and also by the ex-
perience Of many of my patrons. The
average dairyman does not commence
cutting his hay as early as he ought;
neither does he cut his corn as early
rs he should to secure the best results.
We should lot blame the COW for our
mistakes, neither fof our ignorance.
If we do not know how to feed and
care for her intelligently, let us learn.
If we know how and do not do it, we
deserve TO be kicked by the cow until
we promise to do as we'll as we know

figures, some of flowers, and others in
conventional patterns, but all are to be
OF a bold, open pattern, which will
prove much more effective when made
up than a fine or intrinsic pattern
would. Four of these patterns should
be alike, and these four used for the
corner blocks. The designs are next
outlined in some delicate color, pale
pink, pale blue or yellow, but all the
outlining is done with one shade. Wash
silk or linen is used, as preferred, the
linen, of course, proving less expen-
s;ve than the silk.
The blocks are next Numbered and
carefully pressed. They are now ready
to be set together. and for this purpose
strips of sateen are used of the exact
shade of the silk or linen employed in
outlining. The strips of sateen are
three inches wide, and when the whole
is pieced the blocks have the appear
ance of being set together with ribbon.
A strip of sateen, the same width, is
set all around the edge after the blocks
are pieced, and a second band is added
OF Lonsdale. This latter is worked with
h running border in outline.
The cover is now ready to be lined
andquilted. The lining is of plain Ions
dale, and the edge is bound with the
same. The quilting is done in what is
known as shell stitch. A group of
shells is marked in each corner, then a
row Of shells is started across one side
and carried across the whole remain
ing surface of the quilt. When 90
blocks are used instead of nine, the de-
sign on each is of course smaller, and
the bands with which the blocks are
set together are narrower. Otherwise
the directions given apply to this as
well as to the quilt of nine blocks.
The accompanying illustration shows
the arrangement Of the shells in quilt
ing. The half circles are the size of
an ordinary teacup.- American Agri-
cufturist.

LATEST SOCIETY FAD.
The French Smart Set Insists That
Dogs Shall Be Married.,

Dogs Shall Be Married..
There is brand new fad in swell.
dom. 1t is the dog marriage. To be
thoroughly fashionable nowadays one
must own two dogs of opposite sex, and
they must have been duly married by
the staid and respectable canine select
ed by the fashionable community to act
as the representative of the cloth.
OF course, says the New York Herald,
it is from France that this new fad has
come. When it is necessary to discover
something particularly eccentric
French genius always comes to the res.
cue. The fashionable to whom fell the
honor of introducing this new and
rather remarkable step for the advance
ment Of canine creation was none other
than Nine. Ephrussi, daughter of Baron
Alphonse de Kothschild, the wife oil
Maurice Ephrussi.
The initial wedding of dogs in high
society is so novel as to be well worth
description. In the first place Nine.
Ephrussi sent out formally engraved m
vitations 10 several hundred Of her
friends, announcing the approaching
nuptials of Diane, her favorite poodle,
and LIE Petit Major, handsome poodle,
the property of Baron Alphonse de
Rothschild. Not only were the recip.
tents of these invitations asked to come
themselves, but requested to also bring
their dogs
Not the least odd and attractive fea-
ture of the whole affair was the fact
that many of these visiting dogs-in
truth, the majority of them-were in
full evening dress. Not evening blank
cts, but, if the dog was male, in the
swallow tail and trousers of the human,
together with the standing collar
dress shirt and unspeakablc tie.
With all this gorgeousness on the part
of the guests, what must have been the
worldly splendor that surrounded the
bride and groom! Diane, who is de-
scribed as poodle of rare grace and
beauty, wore white satin dress
trimmed with beautiful lace, a long
tulle veil, decorated with orange bios,
SONS, and white kid shoes. Major, the
bridegroom, wore full evening dress
On the buttonhole of NJ. Majors very
swell coat was dainty orchid.
Presently all the guests had arrived
human and canine, the latter, of course
being given the preference. Nine

THE FARMING WORLD.
FORCING THE COWS.
A Practice Which Has Many ArSu.
1nents in Its Favor.

A Practice Which Ha. Many ArSu-
ments in Its Favor.
It is an interesting question, and one
worthy of some thought, how far we
may force the cow when seeking for
Zig yield of milk or butter, and
whether such forcing is ultimately de-
sirable. There exists prejudice against
forcing at all, and this prejudice is not
without foundation, as the premature
death OF some cows that have been
forced up to the limit testifes. 1t is
argued that this high feeding weakens
the constitution of the COW, and soon
er or later must tell on her general
health. This may all be true, but there
is another side to the question that is
sometimes overlooked. No one denies
that the daughter of cow giving Is
pounds of milk will in her turn give
more butter than the daughter of a COW
that gives Only three. And as the COW
that makes Is pounds of butter and the
COW that makes three pounds were
originally descended from the same
COW the question arises: What makes
the difference? Breed, is answered.
But breed is after all only generations
of feed and care, so we find that it is
by this same forcing in feeding that the
cow has been brought up from yield
OF three pounds of butter to yield of
Is. In other words the 15-pound cow
has had her organs developed so that
she will turn larger quantity of feed
into butter than will the cow whose an
cestors have not received this extra
care. This forcing not only makes the
cow receiving this treatment give more
milk, but by reason of her development
her calves are able to give more milk.
Now the question arises: How far
may we go with the forcing process?
We force one COW, and by reason of the
forcing her calf can stand more fore
ing than she could, or the calf has great
er capacity for turning feed into but
ter than had her mother, and if she is
forced her calf in turn has still great
er capacity.
It is not hard to remember when a
horse was fast that could go at a
$40 gait, but now we are getting
mighty close to a 300 gait, and
| yet reached. So it seems reasonable to
suppose that the limit of milk produc-
| ton in cow has not yet been reached
and if occasionally a cow that has not
good constitution is somewhat hurt
by overlooking, yet it is only by forcing
that we can hope to increase the milk
producing capacity of the cow to its
| fullest extent.-National Stockman.

Care of the Tooth Brush.

The care of tooth brushes is not suf-
ficiently observed. In our city houses, s.
writer properly remarks, they stand in
their cups or hang on their racks>above
the set toilet-bowls day and night, ab-
sorbing any disease germs that may be
floating about. They should be washed
frequently---at least about twice a
week-in some antiseptic solution,
strong salt and water or bicarbonate
*of sodium and water being two good
and readily provided cleaners. Tooth
washes and pastes should also be kept
carefully covered. ~

Ephrussi's magnificent ballroom was
thrown open. There everyone repaired,
everybody and the dogs. A moment
later and there softly foated through
the air the strains of the ever familiar
wedding march from 'Lohengrin."
Mincing up the aisle, along which it
had been arranged that the wedding
procession was to pass, walked three
small poodles, each in evening DRESS
and semi-harnessed together with
white ribbon. Following these came
the bride, leaning upon the arm or
rather hand of her mistress, while be-
hind them, walking on his hind feet
and without support, accompanied by
Baron Rothschild, came NJ. MAJOR.
Then came the bridesmaids and
groomsmen, the former wearing white
silk dresses and long wells, the latter
in full dress and adorned with EN-.
broidered white satin coats. All these
advanced upon their hind legs, but be.
hind them came a host of canine guests.
who were permitted to walk as nature
had originally intended they should.
away uO"A uC IIlC LUZ AcI Suu " lie
ballroom the wedding procession was
met by the stanch and sober bulldog
of Comte de Berttaux. Upon his head
this hOnored canine wore tall silk
hat, and about his waist was tied the
tricolor sash, his badge of Office, for
he was representing NJ. lie Marie. After
greeting the procession, the bulldog
Marie advanced on his hind legs and
seated himself upon an embroidered
cushion. The Marie looked solemnly
at the young couple whose destinies
he was about to unite, and then barked
distinctly three times. The bridegroom
gave a short bark. The bride barked
low and impressively. Then the Marie
barked several times i'll quick success
sion, and there was a series of respon-
sive banks, in which some of the rude
and unthinking in the audience joined
without request. A gold ring, with a
diamond setting, was then slipped over
the paw of the fair Diane, the Marie
parked gleefully, and the procession
moved to the adjoining room.
Following the signing of the register
came the reception and supper. Every
dog was given seat at the table and
regular course supperwas served. And
so passed off the nrst dog wedding of
which Dame Fashion ever acted as

box opens at the side and has shelves
to slide in and out. Each shelf has
rectangular opening in the center, SO
that when the row of "bricks" is laid
about the opening, the edge of each
brick will project little over the open
ing. One can thus lift out pound of
butter easily because he can get his
fingers beneath it. A shelf can thus be
removed from the box and carried to
the customers door and the customer
allowed to pick up the number If
pounds desired. 1t is best for the
seller not to handle the butter at all in
the presence of the customer, even
though it be paper-covered.- Orange

A PIAZZA GREENHOUSE.

OF the piazza with heavy, resin-sized, or
tarred building paper, lacking it tight
ly and bank with evergreen brush.
Now, as to the outer walls. The greater
part must, of course, be of glass, but it
is not advisable to have the sash ex-
tend to the floor. From the piazza rail
down let the wall be of matched board
ing. Along the front this should be
screwed to the inside of the rail. Sash
to fit any opening can now be bought
very cheap. It is desirable that COM
munication with this plant room be
from a living room rather than by q
hall door, so it may be found desirable
to cut down a window and make door
of it. This will obviate the necessity

The heating of such plant room can
he done in q number of ways, but the
simplest and most satisfactory for the
average farmhouse will probably be by
the use of an oil stove. These little sit
ting-room oil heaters have been so
greatly improved and made SO reason
able in price that they will be found
wonderfully convenient for just such
use as this. Care should lie taken,
however, to get a make in which the
flame will not ''crawl up" and smoke,
if left by itself. The accompanying il
1ustration gives suggestion as to the
making of plant room upon a piazza.
or course, piazzas differ in shape, but
the same principle of treatment will
apply to nearly all cases. Make all as
tight as possible, then an oil stove will
give sufficient heat to keep the plants in
health.-Orange Judd Farmer.

PIANO DECORATION.
Nowadays No Instrument Is Placed
Against the Wall.

Nowadays No instrument Is Placed
Against the Wall.
The piano is now usually considered
one of the most effective and artistic
pieces of furniture in the drawing
room; let us hope the times have gone
forever when it was placed firmly
against wall with the inevitable shade
OF wax flowers in the center, thanked
by solid looking books on either side.
II may be placed across a corner or be
standing out into the room according
to the taste and pleasure of it's owner.
If placed cornerwise it will require no
drapery at the back, and landscape
painted on the wall, but it must be re-
membered that a piano, cutting off one
OF the corners in this way, will detract
from the apparent size of the room.
The plan most in vogue at the present
day is to place it out in the room with
clear space right around it, and then
the question arises how to make the
decidedly ugly back of the piano show
to advantage under it's changed condi-
tons. This may be brought about in
various ways. A piece of canvas may
be fastened on to the back andsa land
scape painted on it, or a study of flow
ers. This must be prettily draped with
silk, edged with handsome fringe, the
elk being arranged in graceful curves
at the top of the piano and down the
side, where it may be caught in with
silk cord and tassel; the color of the
silk will naturally be decided by the
prevailing tones of the room. Some
people, however, do not care for paint
ings on piano backs, but prefer to have
them entirely covered with drapery.
This may be managed by mailing a
light strip of wood to each end and
in the center of the woodwork at the
top of the piano; this holds the weight
of the drapery, which is fastened to it
with tiny tin tacks. Oriental stutfs
and embroideries look very handsome
utilized in this manner; and still more
beautiful effect may be obtained by
sewing numberless tiny sequins on the
material, causing it to glitter and
sparkle in the fire or lamp light Plush
and velvet are also often used as drape-
ries, and make most beautiful ones;
soft silk is equally satisfactory. Small
knick-knacks and ornaments should
not find resting place on the top of
the piano, neither should books be
placed on it, or anything that will jingle
when the instrument is in use. A small
silver lamp looks well in the center
and throws down a good light on the
music, and photograph or view may
be placed on each side. A pretty cover
should be made for the top to save it
from unnecessary scratching. The
keys must always be kept white and
polished and never allowed to become
yellow.-Chicago Tribune. .....x =

Slaughter Of Animals.

been wandering through the woods on
snowshoes, bring hack to Augusta
great stories about the slaughter of
moose, caribou and deer. They say that
in many places they found deer caught
in rope nooses suspended along paths
5requented by the animals, and at sew
eral lodging camps evidences of ruth
less slaughter were discovered. They
report that moose are scarce, and will
soon be exterminated, if stringent laws
for their preservation are not passed
and enforced at once. The caribou are
holding their own f2irly well, while the
other deer are increasing, despite the re-,
lentless war waged upon them. a

New Design That Is Sure to Be Adj
mircd When Neatly Made.
A particularly handsome quilt was
recently made by the women of a lead
ing church society in one of our large
cities, and met with so hearty an ap-
proval, and was so greatly admired,
that large number were finished and
sold at $12 each. The blocks were of
Lonsdale cambria. In some of the
quilts nine blocks were used, and in
others rs. The blocks were longer than
wide, and their size was calculated ac-
cording to the size of the bed, whether
single, double Or three-quarters size.
For double bed Of ordinary width,
in which nine blocks are used, each
block should be stamped with de-
sign to be outlined. Some may be of
