These figures are interesting First.
they show the great similarity between
the milk of the ass and human milk,
which explains the fact that in some of
the European countries, and even in
England, Jenny ass is kept to supply
the milk used for the infants, as we'll
as for delicate invalids. Among the
French people asses are driven from
house to house and MIXED at the doors
to supply the infants milk !; second, they
show the serious difference that exists
between the cows milk and the natural
supply of the human infant. When the
extremely delicate character Of the in
FAINT S stomach is thought of, this wide
difference must widely open the eyes of
mothers and explain how it is that their
infants pine and fret under this enor-
nous tax upon their delicate organs of
digestion. Facts are on the whole far
worse than these figures, for it is COM
monty thought that the best milk for
babe is that of Jersey COW, and on an
average Jersey milk will have so per
cent more fat in it than these figures
show. Besides, this tat is IN an exceed
ingly improper condition for this use
on account of the size of the fat glob-
ules, which on an average are three or
four times as large as those of Ayrshire
milk, and as the fat is Immediately alb
sorbed into the circulation without di-
gestion this larger proportion and the
larger size of the globules of course ex-
ert together very injurious effect upon
the infant The natural milk for the in
FAINT has more water in it, and the lar
gest proportion of solid in it is the sugar.
Babes need a full supply of sugar in
their food. 1t is easily assimilated, and
thus the careful nurse adds sugar to the
infants milk or is taught to do SO by
the visiting physician.

FASHION AND FABRIC.

Cock comb red is the newest shade Of
color. Serge and cloth jackets and even
dresses in this blatant hue are among the
new things in autumn modes.
Among the most generally becoming
colors of the season before us will be the
damson dyes and varied class of similar
plum tints, like dahlia, petunia etc.
Superb white watered silk such as de-
lighted the stately danes of olden times
will be a favorite material for bridal
dresses next season. The MORE fabrics of
today, however, show much smaller waves
For autumn wear beige and deep tus-
can yellow of rough straw braids trimmed
with green velvet and shaded velvet gera-
MUM or nasturtium blossoms, in all their
glowing colorings, will be favored COM

2 The chief characteristic of fashion 8
present show is its infinite variety, its
modified and graceful designs and out
lines and endless styles, affording an un-
limited choice of models suited to any Pc
culiarity of form, face or feature.
Among the useful little additions to the
toilet are close coat sleeves of thin silk,
made to slip on under the transparent
sleeves proper of blouses and other hot
weather waists. When the day is cooler
than usual, these adjustable undersleeves
give the needed protection less easily sup

At Sea ON Maskat.

A funny scene occurred many years
ago in congress. A present of Arabian
horses, a sword, etc., arrived from the
imam of Maskat for President Adams.
A western member with some heat
moved that the gift should be sent
back, with a letter from congress, in
forming the ruler of Maslxat that the
president Of the United States was no
king, but the servant of the people, and
was not permitted to give or receive
presents.
Another member rose. "Such a let
ter, Mr.. Speaker, +" he said, "can easily
be written. But where is it to be sent?
Where is Maskat?''
There was no response. Apparently
not member of the house was prepared
to answer, nor could Maskat then be
found in any atlas published in this
country. 1t was found at last on Ger
man map. A civil answer was returned,
and the geographers made haste to in
sert Maskat in the next edition of their
maps. Exchange.

The Unavoidable Cow.

A dairyman can expect no profit from
a cow until she has paid for her keep.
Whether that item be large or small,
the COW exacts it week by week and re-
fuses to return any profit till it is paid.
If she is SO constituted that she requires
all the food she can eat to maintain
her, then the returns are minus. 1t is
claimed that it takes at least 200 pounds
of butter to pay for cows feed and
labor consequent on the production of
the milk and butter. If we could draw
hard and fast line at 200 pounds of
butter and discard all animals that do
not come up to that mark, we should
be making greater stride toward
more profitable condition of dairying
than could be done in any other man
ner. There is no doubt that few of
these Improbable animals are being
weeded out each year, but there are an
equal if not larger number of them
born. Certainly there are few prom
Using GASES in the wilderness of unprofit-
able COWS, but the outlook is that for
many years the 100 pound COW will
continue to flourish. 1t is much easier
to keep on with the improbable animal
than it is to find out where the loss is.
The dairyman does not miss the dollar
which has never been in his pocket,
and consequently the idea Of using the
hard earned dollar he has to find out
how he lost the So he ought to have
does not appeal forcibly to the average
dairyman. He is much more liable to
lay the blame for his poor success on
distant scapegoat. The poor price of
butter at Elgin or the price of poor
butter near home is a convenient hook
on which to hang failures due to his
own ignorance and neglect. -Hoard's
Dairyman.

nenth For Seeding Grass.

If all the seed usually sown were to
terminate, there would be about 2 900
plants to the square foot. 1t takes
about "a, 900 timothy seeds to weigh
an ounce, and A pounds make bushel.
Forty thousand orchard grass seeds
weigh an ounce, and IL pounds make a
bushel There are 10000 red clover
seed in an ounce, $4,000 white clover
seed. $4,000 Alsike seed and $4,000
italian rye grass seed. Much of the
failure of seeding is due to either poor
seed or too deep covering. Careful ex
periments have shown that timothy
seed covered by two inches of dirt can
not shoot into growth. Covered from
three quarters to one inch, only about
one half the good seeds will come forth.
Red clover seed cannot get through two
inches of dirt. White clover seed GOV
cred q inches will not come through,
and only about half will grow when
covered from one-half to three-quarters
of an inch deep. Alsike clover seed will
not push through d inches of cover
ing. The above results were obtained
by sowing the seed in finely sifted,
dark loan which was kept moist during
the process of termination. From one
quarter to one-half an inch is the right
depth to cover grass seed.-Prairie

Sugar Beet Leaves and Tops.

The beet leaves and that portion of
the beet cut off in topping" are con-
sidered very valuable for feeding. 1t
has been discovered, however, as stat
ed in the special government re-
port on the sugar beet industry, that
this course has tendency to exhaust
the soil, and it is better to allow the
tops and leaves to remain on the field
to act as a fertilizer and thus preserve
the soil Much of the more valuable
portion of the elements contained in the
sugar beet which the soil needs for re-
cuperation is in the top and leaves.
This fact has become SO thoroughly
we'll known to the factories in this
country that some Of them even stipu-
late in their contracts with the farmer
that the leaves and tops shall remain
on the ground, which seems to be a
wise provision.

Drying Wheat For Fall Seeding.

After every damp harvest, as the
present has been in most localities, the
grain goes into the barn with it's straw
not SO thoroughly dried out as it should
be. There is also considerable dampness
in the grain itself, and this will prob
ably cause heating of the grain in the
NOW. With spring grain this does not
matter much, for the grain will be
pretty sure to dry out when freezing
cold weather comes But whenever
winter grain is grown, the seed for next
harvest has to be selected from the pres
ent years crop, and this often means
the premature thrashing of the winter
grain and using it while still damp as
seed. To this fact is probably to be at
tributed the common belief among farm
ers that old wheat and rye are better
for seed than new. In the old grain the
freezing of winter and the subsequent
thawing has made the seed nearly
wholly free of moisture.
Entertaining this view of the matter,
The American Cultivator expresses the
belief that it is far better to thoroughly
dry the seed even by artificial means.
"We have over and over again dried
seed grain in fruit evaporators such as
are used for drying apples, and always
with the best results in large proper
tion grown of the seed that was sown.
We believe that it is best to dry all
grain used as seed by the heat of fire. !"

Reseeding a Meadow.

A correspondent of The National
Stockman and Farmer, asking informa-
ton about souring timothy and manur-
ing in meadow that is half clover, is
advised by Alva Agee as follows: A
sharp drag harrow will not injure the
clover much, and if used when the
ground is in condition will make loose
soil for the timothy seed, which should
be sown early in September. If there
were time to draw the manure and scat
ter it Immediately, the chances of a
good catch would be the best. but if
there is not time to apply the manure
until winter the dressing should be
given then. One would not want to put
the manure on in large flakes OF Jumps,
but it should be made reasonably fine
by working it over once or twice in a
heap if necessary. For such job as
this spreader would pay nicely.

HOW senarators Clean Milk.

"While the use of the separator does
not extract all the impurities and in
furious bacteria from milk it does re-
move very large quantity of both.
Those who have had opportunities to
examine what is commonly known as
separator slime will have noticed
that after the Swimming is done the in
side of the bowl is covered with gray
ish, viscid matter that looks like moth
ing else in the world, nothing else in
the world being quite SO repulsiye in
appearance. This slime has been an
alyzed and found to consist of the Wis
cous portion of the milk, in which is
entangled hair, particles of manure and
filth of all kinds, and to be moreover
fairly alive with the injurious bacteria,
whose mission in nature seems to be to
destroy things that are not worth keep
ing" says The Homestead. cit is be-
coming not unusual now among those
who make it point to sell absolutely
pure and wholesome milk to run the
milk through the separator and extract
the extraneous matter referred to, then
add the cream to the skimmilk again.
when they find it all the better for the
cleansing 1t is very much more whole
some, and among those who make a
point of having clean milk it will bring
better price -

PIGS ON STUMBLE FIELDS.
Clear Profit From Saving Scattered
Grain by Pasturing In This Way.

Clear Profit From Saving Scattered
Grain by Pasturing In This Way.
When grain is harvested, some neccs-
sarily escapes the reaper and is usually
lost. While the amount may hardly be
sufficient to make it profitable to follow
the reaper with rake the scattered
grain may be proftably utilized by
turning pigs or other stock into the
stubble fields, and as matter Of fact
the custom of pasturing stock on such
fields is quite common in many regions.
Some interesting experiments have been
made at the Montana station to learn
the value of this as compared with
other methods of feeding.
Forty one pigs from to 8 months
old were allowed the run of barley,
wheat and pea stubble fields OF Is, 1914
and 10. 10 acres respectively. For some
time before the test they had been pas
tured on alfalfa and fed pound of
cracked barley per head daily. For ten
weeks Immediately preceding the test
they made daily average gain OF AZ
pound per head While pastured on the
stubble fields they were given no grain
in addition to what they could find ex-
cept on stormy days. The grain thus fed
amounted to 24.1 pounds in the five
weeks of the test
During this time the pigs made a
gain of 228 pounds per head, or 17.5
pounds, deducting the amount which it
was calculated they gained from the
grain fed during stormy weather. On
the supposition that AS pounds of grain
are required to produce pound OF pork
the Al pigs gathered 8, 22S.75 pounds Of
grain, which otherwise would have been
lost. The harvesting had been done in
the usual manner, and in the investi-
gators opinion the amount of peas and
grain remaining in the field did not e1-
coed that left in the stubble fields on
the average farm. The scattered grain
could not have been saved in any other
way and represents clear profit.
The grain saved from the stubble
fields by these pigs was not all that
could have been gathered if they had
remained in the fields longer time.
Seven brood sows were afterward pas
tured during the winter on the station
stubble fields, which included a "a acre
oatfield in addition to those mentioned
above They were given no food in ad-
dition to what they could gather except
kitchen Stops and small grain ration
on stormy days. The sows frequently
rooted down through six inches of snow
and found sufficient grain to keep them
in good condition throughout the entire
winter.

ARMY AND NAVY GUNS.
A Vast Difference In the Number of Mel
Required to Handle Them.

~ WASH DlHefeuco III Cn6 y umDer Oh wen
Required to Handle Them.
The number of men required to man
naval guns of the British, French, Ger
man and American navies is about the
same, although the French are under
stood to have more men as rule for
some of the larger guns.
For the inch and inch all services
require four men to work each piece
for the inch, six men are needed, and
for the 10, ID and ID inch the same
number.
AS nearly all our s, 10, IL and IS
inch guns are used in pairs and mount
ed i'll turrets the IL men working them
are protected by heavy plates of steel.
For the little | Founders three men are
necessary to work them rapidly, and
for the Founders and Founders four
men are assigned, and for the Hotchkiss
three men.
Treble the number of men seem to be
required to work the same caliher of
guns in our coast defense system, al.
though there is no special reason for
this, unless it be due to the fact that
the army guns are mounted on disap-
pearing carriages and are not provided
with turrets, which naturally limits the
space of the operators. An army inch
gun takes Is men to work it; a 10 inch
gun requires Is men, and 10 inch
gun, the largest now constructed by the
army, calls for 81 men,
It will be seen, therefore, that a 10
inch naval gun is operated by six men,
while an army gun of one inch less cali
Der calls for 81 mea. The navy gun can
be fired just as rapidly with it's six men
as the army gun can be fired with its
larger number. Boston Herald
