HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN.

Do not depend on beauty of form in
the selection of the good dairy COW
alone. One among the best butter cows
we ever possessed was of undeniable
"scrub" origin and exceedingly angular.
While great many people find fault
with the Devon on account of their long
horns, yet they have proven themselves
a good beef cattle; besides, they have
excellent milking qualities.
In the Elgin district there are prob
ably produced 100000 pounds of but
ter per day, which would require 2, $780,
600 pounds of milk and loss of ten
cents per hundred would mean loss of
$4,000 per day, or nearly $1,OOO,OOO a
year.
One really good cow will furnish aa
much milk as two ordinary ones, while
the one will cost but half as much as
the two for keeping. In the latter case
the profit all goes in keeping the extra
COW. If we would prosper we must
keep our wits awake.
Skip one feeding period after the calf
is removed SO it win have good appe-
tite, then give from three to four pints
of whole milk fresh from the COW; it
will then drink without the finger.
Feed only twice day and the first week
feed its mothers milk fresh. Western
Plowman.
The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1898-11-09
DAIRY MANAGEMENT.
How to Keep the Cows in Prime
Condition of Health and In
sure Pecuniary Success.

Twice each day, IA times each week,
our cows are driven from the field to
the stable during pasture season and
milked, each COW tied in her own stall
and fed supplementary ration OF
grain, but not a balanced one except
that it aids digestion and assimilation
with pasture consumed during the day.
This grain ration is made up largely of
bran, with 25 per cent. of chop added.
We do not feed grain for the purpose Of
quieting our cows, but for the specific
purpose of obtaining revenue, and al
ways feel that it pays to do it in such
a degree as good Judgment permits.
Our cows are driven quietly to and
from field, which is not far, nor should
it be distant. We saw a man go one
mile to a rented pasture to milk. This
was on the right side Of economy as
against driving cows the distance to
and from pasture. We fear some of our
dairymen are not sufficiently careful
during the summer in caring for
stables, keeping them cleanly and re-
moving daily some of the products that
soon produce noisome odors. Every
thing should be kept absolutely clean
and every stain busted with gypsum or
what is almost as good, common road
dust.
Almost daily our stalls are swept and
the walk behind treated likewise, so
that they present tempting place for
the cows to go to eat and rest while
they are speedily pailed. We advocate
rapid milking when done in a mastery
way. In fly time burlap cover closed
up at the rear is thrown over cow
while milking her, and she stands per-
fectly quiet and cannot use her tail to
the annoyance of the mixer. Udders
and teats are busted before milking,
thus avoiding foreign substances get
ting into the milk, which we consider
very important. At once after cows are
milked they are turned out to avoid
soiling the trench. We are poor au-
thority on kicking cows. The best way
to break them is not to have them.
Kicking cows are, we think, the result
of poor handling and training George
E. Scott, in National Stockman.

STORIES OF BELIEF.
Two Letters to Mrs. Pinkham.

Mrs. JOHN WILLIAMS, Englishtown,
N j., writes:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I cannot be-
gin to tell you how suffered before
taking your remedies. 1 was so weak
that 1 could hardly walk across the floor
without falling. I had womb trouble
and such a bearing-down feeling also
suffered with my back and limbs, pain
in womb, Inflammation of the bladder,
piles and indigestion. Before 1 had
taken one bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound l felt a great deal
better, and after taking two and one
half bottles and half a box of your
Liver Pills was cured. If more would
take your medicine they would not
have to suffer so much"
Mrs. JOSEPH PETERSON, 513 East St.,
Warren, Pa, writes:
DEAR Mrs. PNKHAM:-I have suf-
fered with womb trouble over fifteen
years. / had Inflammation, enlarge
ment and displacement Of the womb.
1 had the backache constantly, also
headache. and was so dizzy. I had
heart trouble, It seemed as though my
heait was in my throat at times chok-
ing me. I could not walk around and
I could not lie down, for then my heart
would beat so fast l would feel as
though 1 was smothering. I had to
sit up in bed nights in order to breathe.
l was SO weak I conld not do any
thing.
81 have now taken several bot
ties of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. and used three pack
ages of Sanative Wash, and can say
/ am perfectly cured. / do not think
I could have lived long if Mrs. Pink
hams medicine had not helped me-"

of which could be dispensed with, or
others added, according to circum-
stances; 2, 3, 0 and 10 are each about
7 feet wide hung upon rollers; II, s.,
6, Z and Is are 10 feet wide; is about
1o feet hung upon hinges; s, s, 12, 10

gangway in front of the managers
may be made, feet wide and about
6 feet high, as represented by dotted
lines b b b b, with door at 4, and
small chute made across manger at
intervals through which to feed grain.
The elevations as shown by the
smaller cuts are the end views. Doors

tion of the one end. Below where
the roof of the addition strikes the

New Notions That Are Noticed In the
Latest Costumes for the Ladies'.
The modistes have not planned for
amateur workers this season. Pufffngs
and shirring and fine work on chiffon
are to be seen in everything. The
necks of some gowns are filled in with
the finest shirred chiffon and chiffon
rutfies are ruffled again with chiffon,
or finished with little double puffs. A
pretty reception gown of silk has chif-
fon sleeves puffed the full length, and
a tiny double ruffle or puff edges the
front panel and runs around the bot
tom of the skirt. The chiffon appears
on the gown in no other place. These
little finishes of chiffon are very
pretty around the skirts of gowns.
There are few kinds of trimming
that are not to be seen this year, and
much of the trimming runs around
the skirts and bodices 'bayadere fash
ION. Embroidery is always charming,
and pretty little gown of white chif-
ION made over white silk has rows of
embroidery in white around the skirt
and the little, full, round bodice, alter
mating with tiny rufaes of the chiffon,
and covering it entirely. 1t is very
girlish and pretty.
A striking gown which brings out
the popular chenille and the polka dot
effect has big chenille dots on a gown
OF pretty pattern of coarse, white
net. Black and white are seen on
gown which has the white for a foun-
dation, some pretty, thin material, the
skirt rutfied half way up and the re-
mainder trimmed with graduated
bands of black velvet ribbon pefhaps
two inches wide at the head of the
ruffies and growing smaller gradually
up to the waist, where they increase
in width again up to the low-cut cor
sage.
Entire gowns of yellow and orange
are seen for evening, and these colors
form parts of other gowns. There is
more embroidery to be seen in yell
low gown, over which is white chiffon
With tiny yellow flowers embroidered
upon it in soft silk.
The bias bands of velvet lend them
selves to the crinkled ruff1ed effects to
be seen in so many things. In one cos
tune the oversllirts and panels are
outlined with bias bands of velvet ruff
fled on, or, it may be more appropri-
ately said, held little full in the sew
ing, so that it has the effect of very
scant ruf1e set into the edge.
The tiny ruf1es of chiffon, which are
not finished with ruffies, and even
some which are, are edged with tiny
bands of ribbon or velvet. On pink
gown the many ruffies of chiffon are
edged with narrow pink velvet with a
soft and attractive effect.-N. Y.

THE GROUND PLAN.

out there will be openings further
down. The hay runs down to within
about 2 feet of the bottom in the
chute, where it rests upon a floor
which is the bottom of the manger,

In B B are marked separate stalls
which are absent in G C, but can be
arranged according to circumstances,

After five years experience 1 find
that this is most important prob
lem. If the yield from the creamery is
poor, especially in quality, the man
ager should investigate and if the fault
lies with the butter maker, he should
secure another one, as good men can
be secured If reasonable salaries are
paid. If the fault is with the patrons,
it will be more difficult to remedy, but
frmness at the weigh can will usually
bring ABOUT the desired change s'ack-
ages should be neat and clean and put
up in accordance with the demands of
the market. The safest package for
our Minnesota creameries is the So
pound ash tub. The bulk of the goods
goes to New York. By combining and
shipping in carloads saving of ten
cents per cwt. can be effected. If you
have good commission house do not
leave it. Investigate new firms care
fully, even before shipping trial lot.
l do not like the idea of having one man
to handle the butter on a salary. 1
would divide shipments several times
and make careful comparisons of re-
turns, considering not only the price,
but the weight. 1t would be well for
creameries to send their secretary or
manager to study the market to which
they ship. Beware of tempting offers
from outside houses or wholesale gro
GERS and never ship to them without

the field. use four horses abreast on
it, for the field is billy and a good ways
to haul. Dimensions are: Hickory
runner poles 1s1a feet long and six
inches at butt, four feet four inches
apart. Cross pieces are ten feet long,
hickory poles hewn down about square
and bolted to runners. The runners
want to be braced strongly in front SO
they won't pull together. The boards
are 16 feet, outside pieces four by four
inches to add strength. Runners have
two-inch holes bored in them for
stakes, which are of hickory. The
front ones fit tight, but the back ones
are loose, so they may be removed
when putting the last shock on.-7J. I.
