Useful Dairy Hints.

Treat the cows gently and kindly.
Brutal treatment is unnecessary and
costs you money in the loss of milk and
butter.
See that the udder is clean before
commencing to milk. II 1t is nat, wash
lit with cloth wrung out of warm water.
always milk with dry hands. The old
fashioned way Of wetting the teats with
milk is unnecessary and is liable to
make them crack and become sore.
Never employ an ignorant, brutal man
to take care Of cows and never allow
cows to be abused in any way.
A tobacco user should not be allowed
to milk. The flavor of the milk is so
delicate that 1T will become tainted with
tho tobacco. DO not leave the milk
standing in pals or cans in the stable,
but as soon as 1T is milked take it to the
dairy room and strain 1t at once before
1t cOols. Do not mix fresh, warm milk
with that which is cold but reduce it to
the same temperature before mixing 1t.
Do not put fresh, warm milk or cream
in tight, close can, as 1t will not keep
good. 1t should first be cooled and
aerated before lit Is put in closed can.
Never put milk in old, rusty cans, pals
or pans. Throw them away or use them
to feed the pigs with and get bright,
fresh ones to keep the milk in.
Keep the dairy cows In a neat clean
stable by themselves and keep the young
heifers separate from the old cows.
Winter COWS eat more dry food than In
summer and hence should have plenty
Of water, pure, fresh and not too cold.
Roll the butter prints carefully in
parchment paper; see that they are full
weight, and little over rather than un-
der, and keep them entirely away from
cheese and butter, onions and all other
communicating substances.
Have your dairy products, whether
milk, cream or butter, always good and
always the same in quality as nearly as
possible; give full measure and weight,
and your products will always be In de-
mand at the top or even above the top
Of the market.

ten years, ard q one lesson has been
repeated 0ftener thaR another u is that
one cannot wisely depend upon any va
riety or list OF varieties in all seasons,
No two seasons are just alike, and a
variety that may be at It's best under
one set OF conditions, may be at Its
worst under another and entirely dlfier-
emit combination Of circumstances.
Too many planters seek great produc.
tiveness In q variety. AT first thought,
big berries and lots Of them" sounds
Nike profit in a nutshell, but In truth
1t Is many times the reverse. The dis
semination OF such inferior, soft, but
easily grown and exceedingly productive
sorts as Crescent and the Hike, has been
the greatest cause Of the glutted markets
and unsatisfactory prices OK recent years.
An unproductive variety gives neither
profit nor pleasure, but the fault of over
bearing Is one OF the worst that variety
can possess. Originators should strive
after perfection of plant and fruit, with
moderate producldveness, and q variety
having nothing but productiveness to
recommend 1t should never again be sent
out. We have more than enough OF thle
sort already. II nuTserymen would dis
continue the sale and discourage the
planting Of such varieties, they would
do much toward helping the faithful,
hard-working fruit grower on the road
to better times.

Caring for Harness.

One Of the heavy annual expenses on
the farm where several horses are kept,
is harness repairs Much OF this expense
may be avoided by properly cleaning and
Oiling the harness and taking the stitch
in time" on any strap showing a broken
thread. Unbuckle each strap and re-
move all adjustable pieces of the mount
ings. With a stiff brush or a blunt
scraper remove all accumulations OF
dirt, especially around the buckles, and
wipe clean. Then wash all plain straps
in tepid water, using a good harness
soap; rinse with cold water, wipe with
a soft cloth and hang up until the sur
face is dry; apply a liberal coating of
neatsfOot oil and over this coating of
beef tallOw warmed sufficiently so that
it may be applied with brush. Stretch
the straps on boards and allow them to
dry for twenty-fOur hours.
Enameled leather should not be put
in water. Cleanse it with moist cloth
and wipe dry with soft cloth mOistened
with small quantity of linseed oil.
After the straps have dried for twenty
four hours ,scrape of the tallow and rub
the straps down with old cloths until
they are pliable and all grease is re-
moved. Clean all mOuntings with any
good preparation, using whiting il moth

machine oil all hinge parts Of buckles

Poultry Notes.

Young chicks come into the world free
ftOm Vermin, but IN q few days they
begin to drOOp and die. This is be-
cause lice leave the hen and 60 TO the
chicks. The large gray lice ON the heads
do the most damage, but the mites also
torment both hen and chicks. The time

before they are hatched. To do this
clean the nest few days before the eggs
are due to be hatched, burn the nest ma
terialD and dust the nest we'll with insect
powder. Rub melted lard well on the
skin OF the head and neck OF the hen,
but do not use too much or In a manner
to grease the eggs, or they may not
hatch. When the chicks appear, rub one
drop OF lard on their heads and dust
them also with insect-powder, repeating
tho same for che hen.
The orchard is never injured by fowls.
but on the contrary excellent work is
done by poultry in destroying insects.
Every one who has an orchard and does
not keep flock Is losing profit that
rs more easily 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 asslst in
greater egg-produCtion, and when the
hens have brOods Of chicks there is no
better location than to make each hen
comfortable In little run under tree,
where the chicks can be permitted TO
have their freedom. II Is not we'll to
have the grass too high in am orchard,
II fowls are to use the ground. A we'll
kept orchard Is the one to use, and
combination of poultry and fruit gives
the farmer profit from the fowls while
waiting for his young trees TO come into

RemedIes lor codIInr Moth.

Whenever you bite into an apple or
peach and find a worm or where a worm
has been that is the result of the cod
hing moth. The moth is a small insect
that measures about three-Q quarters OF
an inch from tip to tip OF Its expanded
wings, which are covered with Wavy
gray and brown lines. They ilutter
around through the fruit trees about the
first Of May and deposit their eggs on
the leaves and In the blossom end OF the
young fruit. In about q week these
eggs hatch. The young worm is only
an eighth of an inch long and has q
white body and black head. It soon
bores into the fruit and increases In
size as the fruit grows. In about three
weeks the worms will leave the fruit
and spin their cocoons, generally under
the rough bark ON the trunk or In rub
bish under the tree. About the middle
Of June another crop Of moths or mllleGH
Is Matched out and deposit their eggs,
and from these eggs come the worms
which are found In the mature fruit.
The fruit infested by the first crop of
worms will generally fall from the tree
before the worms leave 1t.
Spraying with solution Of Paris
green or London purple with enough
lime added to prevent its killing the
leaves Of the trees, is the best remedy
known for the codling moth, the oanker
worm and the leaf crumpler. The canker
worm Is a small worm that eats the
leaves In early spring. London purple
contains about 40 per cent. Of arsenic,
and Paris green about so per cent, and
theyare both strong poisons and must be
handled with care. For apple trees, dis
solve one pound of London purple or
Paris green in fifty gallons OF water,
add pound Of lime, stir until thor
oughly dissolved and then strain 1t
through cloth or fine sieve 80 1t will
no. clog the sprayer For peach trees,
use the same only weaken it with an
other hundred gallons OF water, for 1t
would be too strong and would injure
peach trees. For pear, cherry, apricot
and plum trees use 1t the same as for
peach trees. Apply 1t with spraying
pump as soon as all the blossoms have
fallen and the fruit begins to set. Never
spray when the trees are In bloom as 1t
will blight the fruit But as soon as the
fruit Is set and is as large as wheat
grains give the trees thorough spray
Ing. If the spray Is washed off by rains
then spray again as soon as the rain
is over and the trees are dry. It is
sometimes necessary to give the trees

Strawberries.

Strawberries are grown in nearly
every portion Of this country, but in
Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas they are
easily raised and are wonderfully pro-
life, and when large, we'll colOred ber-
ries are grown and sent to market in
good condition they are very profitable.
Mr.. e. w. Cone, Of Wisconsin, who has
had great deal of experience and been
very successful in growing strawberries
In that State, makes the following prac-
tical suggestions dn regard to growing
this delicious fruit:
Most Of us are partial to large berry,
and some growers will overlook almost
every deficiency OF plant IL it is only
enormously productive, and of fruit II
1T Is only Of prOdigious size. But large
size and great prOductiVeness do NOT
make a perfect berry, even though they
be combined in one variety which they
seldom are. The requirements of good
market berry, in order Of Importance,
are:
/. Firmness. This is desirable even for
home market. A soft berry can never
be gotten to the market in good condi-
ton. It's quality is impaired by bruises
received before 1t reaches the basket.
Careless pickers cannot handle 1t, and
careful pickers do not like to unless
paid by the day. A berry does not have
to be hard and juiceless In order to be
firm.
2. Brilhancy. The color may be dark
or light, but it must be bright. The old
Cumberland Is one Of the palest Of ber-
ries. but by reason OF its clean, glossy
appearance, it Is much more attractive
in the crate than the deeper colored, but
somewhat dingy Brandywlne.
3. Sufficient and uniform size. A bas-
ket OF medium-sized fruit graded to uni
formity, is more pleasing to the eye than
an unassOrted basket OF odd sizes rang
ing from big to little.
A. Symmetry. An ill-shaped berry Of
fends the eye, and it's rOughness Is not
Offset by mammoth size.
Fine flavor, though not to be despised.
is Of little account from the financial
since consumers consult the
eye rather than the palate; and among
amateur gardeners and those who want
the best, tastes are so dissimilar that
there Is no fixed standard of quality.
But the berry itself is not all that we
have to consider. Back of this we must
have hardy, vigorous, free-growing
plant, with healthy foliage, and able to
mature its full crop in the event of a
drought at fruiting time II the plat Is
weak or faulty in habit, lit matters little
what the fruit ia like. Petting is not
profitable on large scale.
do not know whether all the points
Of perfection will ever be brought to-
gether in a single variety, but l am sure
that we are getting little nearer to
this ideal Of excellence. The progressive
grower, however, is never satisfied, and
Is continually raising his standard.
One thing must be borne in mind
Neither the faults nor the good points
Of a single variety are ever brought to
light in any one trial. / have tested

berries can be prOftably grown. The
berries are very large, roundish-cOnical
in form, uniform and regular and Of a
rich, glossy crimson color. The quality
is excellent and the berry firm and solid.
The plants are enormously productive.

will take first rank as shipping variety

 F. E. Hill, the conductor, testified that Haskell boarded his car with lady. The car was crowded, but Haskell demanded a seat for the lady. She was given a seat. and then Haskell demanded that she should get a seat on the dummy. Has language-so much so that witness threatened to remove him from the car. W. A.

 Mrs. R. B. Patterson, for the defense, testified that she boarded the car with the defendant to go home after viewing the parade. The defendant roomed at her house. The car was crowded inside, and she was compelled to stand. The heat became unbea rable, and the defendant asked the conductor to allow her to stand on the rear platform, which was not crowded, but the conductor treated her in rude manner.
 The defendant also testified that the conductor acted in a rude way to Mrs. Patterson. After he had paid the fares he demanded a seat for her, and then he and the conductor had an altercation during which the conductor threatened to throw him off the car.

YOUNGSTERS DO BATTLE.
Lively Bouts at the San Francisco
 Athletic Club Last Evening.

Two slashing six-round bouts and an abundance of preliminary goes were witnessed by large number of fight fol- lowers at the San Francisco Athletic Club last night. Although little gore was spilled there was enough stiff punching to satisfy the most hardened ring-goers.
 Jack Ennis and Billy" Perry, two 125- pound youngsters of the popular club. furnished the first interesting event. Perry's height and reach favored him in the first part of the bout, but Ennis hard punching evened matters Perry gained a lead in the first two rounds, but after that Ennis showed to advantage. The latter was a two-handed hghter, and assuming the aggressive landed repeat edlv on his opponent. Perry was not at all backward and threw in some stiff lefts. which gained the approval of the crowd. Both men showed willingness, and blows rafned hard and fast. At the con- clusion of the sixth round Referee Me IaughIin declared the fight draw.
 Tn the bout between, Jack McMahon and Eddie Toy, also 125-pound representatives of the club the former was declared win nar after six rounds of lively fighting. McMehon showed superior science, while Tow possessed grit and strength. This, however, did not avail Toy, as he was the recinient of nearly all the blows. Judges .iI[ td' Parker and Gus Roster favored McMahon and he was given the decision.
 The preliminary events were participant ed in hy Hogan and Dean. Whipple and Dierks. Garfield and Wiley and Devine and McDevitt.
