In the animal kingdom there are
many strong examples of mother love,
and the birds are particularly noted for
displaying it. A remarkable instance Of
this maternal instinct was recently no.
ticed near Elwood, Ind A mother pi-
geon whose young one had mysteriously
disappeared searched INCREASINGLY for
weeks for the little one. and one day
last December she was seen flying VIC
lently against the side of frame build
ing in the city.
Each time she camo i'll contact with
the house she Clipped off a small bit of
wood with her bill. For nearly two
days the old bird kept this practice up,
often during that time falling exhausted
from the repeated shocks and fatigue
In the afternoon of the second day sho
had pecked hole III the wall, the wood
of which was old and soft from the
weather. This hole was large enough to
admit a mans head, and through this
the mother bird went and came
Every time she entered she carried
grain or seeds or grass Some curious
people investigated the hole while she
was absent, and there they found the
little lost pigeon, just below the hole,
wedged in between the weatherboards
For two days moro the bird continued
to bring the little one food, and would
stay futtering near the hole, chirruping
and trying to cheer the little prisoner
up. Many times it entered and seemed
to be trying to extricate its young one,
but it could not succeed in doing so, try
as it would. The prisoner had flown in
to the building, which was empty. and
managed to get between the weather.

Falling considerable distance, it lodg
ed in the narrow space, which did not
permit it to use it's wings in rising
again. Its plants had reached the
mother, and she, not being able to reach
it from the inside, had cut through
from the out. An admiring man thrust
his hand through the hole and brought
out the iuttering young thing, to the
great delight of the anxious mamma

One Of our Wisconsin subscribers,
who has a creamery which is also fitted
for cheesemaking, wants to know if it
would probably pay him to buy the
skimmilk from his patrons and make
filled cheese. Independent of the law of
the state, which absolutely prohibits
the manufacture of filled cheese, we do
not hesitate to say that it would not pay
any more than any other fraudulent and
dishonest business pays There is some
times present profit in such transac
tions, but i'll the long run it is disas-
trous, not always to the individual SO

A very thorough and successful milk
producer in Pennsylvania gives the fol-
lowing as resume of his daily prac-
tice: At we'll conducted dairy the
milking is done at regular hours. which
is commenced at a. M; the afternoon
milking is commenced at O'Clock. The
mixers bathe hands and face and comb
their hair before milking in the morn
ing and battle hands before afternoon
milking. The COWS are we'll curried and
the stables are cleaned. No converse
ton, singing or whistling is allowed
while milking. The best mixers milk
rapidly and this adds greatly to the
cleanliness of the milk, which is first
strained through strainer pail into
muslin strainer on top of an aerator,
with which is connected coarse strain
er, and lastly, through another muslin
strainer fastened with clothespins on
top of the milk cans, which are, when
filed placed in trough of cold water.
The milk is not watered, but the cows
are allow to drink all the water they
require The cleanest mixer is promot-
ed to can and pail washer. The driver
of the team conveying the milk cart to
market refuses to load the cans that are
not clean outside, because milk custom
ers look suspiciously at dirty cans. All
the cans are handled by their handles
and not the tops of cans, which are
thoroughly scaIded, brushed, washed
with Hasley's electric washing powder
and ripsed as often as used Vegetables
are fed Immediately after milking, thus
preventing any unpleasant taste in the
milk Milk pals are handled by their
balls and not by the tops of the pals.
Milk COWS are fed we'll cured hay, oats,
straw, bright cornstalks, cottonseed
meal, wheat bran and gluten meal. Be-
fore mixing milk the temperature Of
both quantities must be alike.

SIZE AND FEEDING.
A Popular Theory That Has Destroyed
the Value of Much Work.

A Popular Theory That Has Destroyed
the Value of Much Work.
Professor Hacker says: 1t has been
time and again demonstrated at the
Minnesota experiment station that there
are large cows with comparatively small
feeding capacity, and, Oh the other
land, some of the small cows had even
greater feeding and digesting capacity
than some of the larger ones. There is
no enc rulo Of feeding that has led
astray so considerable number of our
American c1perimenters and destroyed
the practical value CT their work as the
one declaring that animals should be
fed according to their size.
Some cows with short legs and light
quarters will barely raise the beam at
900 pounds, and yet having very
caracious middle, will eat and digest
more than others with long, heavy quar-
tiers, with comparatively light body
and weighing 200 pounds. 1t has been
clearly shown i'll our experiments i'll
cost of production that small or medium
cows have greater digesting capacity in
proportion to their size than large cows
Indeed this seems to hold good with all
our domestic animals, not only so far as
feeding capacity is concerned, but in
strength and endurance as we'll In
breeding to increase size we always fail
to increase stregth and endurance or
speed in the same proportion.
That the cost of maintenance is fair
ly measured by the size Of an animal is
true only in a general way. We must
always take temperament into account.
An animal having highly developed
nervous system would under certain
conditions require more food for main
tenance than would another animal of
the same size under similar conditions,
but having highly developed vital
temperament. In the future tempera-
ment and form in the animal will be
found to play more important part
than has been generally supposed. In
deed / am satisfied they will be found
to be greater factors in deciding the
usefulness or adaptability of animals
for specific purposes than the generally
accepted breed characteristics.

The orchard is never injured by fowls,
but, on the contrary, excellent work is
done by poultry i'll destroying insects.
According to an exchange, every one
who has an orchard and does not keep a
flock is losinga profit that is more east
ly secured than in any other manner
with poultry, as there is no additional
interest on land to add to the cost. The
free range Of the orchard, with the trees
for shade, will assist i'll greater egg pro-
duction and when the hens have broods
of chicks there is no better location than
to make each hen comfortable i'll a lit
tie run under tree, where the chicks
can be permitted to have their freedom.
It is not we'll to have the grass too high
i'll All orchard if fowls are to use the
ground. A well kept orchard is the one
to use, and combination of poultry
and fruit gives the farmer a profit from
the fowls while waiting for his young
trees to come into bearing.

Dairymen that have facilities to keep

as to prevent the generating of destruc-

Any ono Can Mako Good Isutter.

The writer and his wife have worked
up slowly, step by step, from the old
stone crock and dash churn to the sep
arator and modern appliances of all
kinds for doing the work speedily and
we'll; from few scrub COWS to a fine
herd of high grade and full blood dairy
COWS; from cows that made only 100
pounds of butter a year to cows that
make more than three times that
amount. We have met difficulties,
many of them, and still meet them, but
determination to win will overcome
them
The idea that one must be supplied
with all the modern machinery for
making butter before good butter can be
made is erroneous. Modern appliances
Tighten labor and do the work more
economically. We made just as good
quality of butter when we raised our
cream i'll tin cans set in cheap wooden
tank as we did when using a high priced
creamer, or as we now make when using
a separator. l have friend who was

were used, set under plum tree at
least so feet from the we'll from which

tor and convenient dairy room. These
friends, like many others, did not COM

MERRY MOMENTS.



The boy stood on the back yard fence,
Whence all but him had fed.
The flames that Lit his fathers barn
Shono roun1 him DER the shed.
A bunch of oracke IS in his hand,
Two others in his hat,
With piteous accents loud he cried,
~ never thought of thatl''
Tho flames few wide. dew thick, flew hot
They lit upon the brat,
They fired those crackers in his hand,
And cen those in his hat.
There came a burst of thunder sound
The boy! Oh, where was he?
Ask of the winds that strewed around
His fragments on the lea!
A top, knife, three marbles and
Some tlshhooks and some yarn
The relics of that dreadful Joy
Who burnt his fathers baiS Vim.

fin Ideal Not Realized by Everybody on

1.-THE Dairy Farmers Wife" was the
subject of prize essay read before the
Missouri Dairy association by M. w.
Wood of Pike county III that state. She
should, says the essayist, have conf
dence in man. the COW and her 1acteal
1uid-know its constituent elements
and their uses and abuses. She should
believe in milk as diet for Babes
youth and men Of adult age; should
love the COW as God given blessing to
the human family. She should be a
neat, tidy woman in her dress, and
when she walks into her dairy it
should be Il model of neatness and clean
illness free from all blemishes-a large
room with trough to set her milk cans
in, supplied with running, cool, spring
water to the depth of half the heighth
of the cans, the cans thoroughly clean
ed, aired and sweetened in the sunlight,
shining bright as new dollars before
the milk goes into them. The windows
and ventilators of her dairy should be
covered with gauze wire screens, so that
neither fly, gnat OF smallest insect can
enter, or in any manner intrude its
presence. She will keep the floor of her
dairy Clearly swept and moistened with
water, so not a particle OF dust arise
from her football as she passes in or
out. She will have her dairy stand re-
mote from barn, stable, pig sty or any
other source of deleterious odors that
might faint or be absorbed by the ex-
tremely sensitive product of the dairy
COW. The dairyman's wife will aid her
husband i'll placing her model rolls Of
gilt edged butter in crates for shipment,
neatly covered with snow white nap
kins, interlaid with ice in summer and
SO cased in winter that print and mono
grams can be easily read by city mer-
chants to whom consigned for sale. This
model wife should regard her butter as
the apple of her eye-her stock III trade.
To it she should look for her good name.
Upon its character and quality depends
her lasting reputation as model
dairy wife and butter maker. Moreover,
the dairyman' S wife should have a strong
arm and an iron will She should have
nerve to brook any trial or any emer
gency.

Shelter For Cattle.

The London Farmer thinks that in
England few subjects of equal impor-
lance to the farmer have occupied less
attention than the provision of proper
shelter for live stock in the fields. The
average English farmer has great deal
to learn. If he could but appreciate the
enormous loss which is caused every
year on this score alone, we are sure it
would hasten u better era in live stock
management out of doors. Not little
of the success which has attended the
rearing and feeding of Scotch cattle is
due TO the infinite care which is taken
to prevent loss of flesh, owing to the
miserable conditions which SO frequent
ly pertain during the pasturage season.
The motto of every feeder who desires
to turn a good profit yearly must be to
keep all the flesh with which food has
clad the stock of the farm, and, above
everything. always keep the animals
growing. Every pound of flesh lost dur
ing cold weather goes to the debit side
of the caghbeok and every pound saved
is SO much gained. .

80 cents quart This set Mr.. Camp to
testing the value of his cream OH the
market by bottling it in small way
for grocers. Its popularity was soon
determined, and he procured a separator
and increased his herd. Finally he sold
out his carpet business and went into
the cream business in earnest, built a
creamery, and now sells the cream from
300 Jersey COWS, at the rate of 100, 900
