Dairy Business.

It is noticeable that in every COM
munity in which the dairy is we'll de-
veloped there is high degree of pros
perity and refinement. The influence Of
the business is uplifting 1t requires
intelligence and wide study to make
the business a success, and all this is
on the line of refinement. 1t demands
gentleness of disposition. No rough,
brutal man can achieve success in the
dairy. He must be kind, and, if not
naturally so, he must cultivate the
spirit of kindness. The cow must be
loved, must be petted, must be fed we'll
and fed properly, and all this leads to
the broadening of the mind and the i'm
provement of our natures. Then there
must be cleanliness not only about the
premises, but about the person. An In
diana dairyman has covered barnyard,
and he was asked at an institute if he
was satisfied with that way of keeping
manure. "Why," said he, 81 do not
have covered barnyard for the pur-
pose of keeping manure. All the ma
nure is hauled out as soon as, made in
order to keep the yard clean. con-
structed cover over the yard for the
comfort of my cows There was a
whole volume of dairy instruction in
those few words. The watchfulness to
preserve cleanliness and the kindness to
the COWS are the cornerstone to success

From welsh to Spanish.

A very long time ago the British
government ordered that English should
be taught in Welsh schools. AS result,
in 1865 a colony of prosecuted Welsh
miners fed from the British tyranny
and settled in the deserts of Patagonia.
These men were heroes, and with most
magnificent courage they dared to live
in a desert where not plant would
grow, where the water was brackish
and the heat intolerable. They were
surrounded by wild tribes of hostile
savages and made them warm friends
they were ruled by foreign govern
ment and became loyal citizens
Through long years of want and
famine they never despaired They
have turned the desert into beautiful
fertile country, have become rich, num-
Der 3, 900 people, have extended their
string Of settlements right across South
America, own paying railway and
ship large crops Of wheat, wool, ostrich
feathers and quanaco skins.
They left Wales to escape the tyranny
of the English language and now, rather
than talk Welsh, they converse largely
of their freedom in excellent Spanish.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-

tachian Tube. When this tube gets in

imperfect hearing, and when it is en-

Commercial Dairying.

IF the dairy farmer is located near a
village or city, many times it will pay
to establish milk route, writes E. w.
Maseley in The Western Agriculturist.
In some instances cream can be sold to
hotels, ice cream makers, restaurants
and to soda fountain proprietors. If
such openings have already been taken,
doubtless the next best thing to be done,
as rule, will be to make strictly first
class butter and seek private customers
for it in the same village or city. Such
customers, once secured, are easily held,
if butter is kept up to high standard
of excellence. Ascertain the amount
wanted by each customer and deliver
on a certain day each week. The de-
livery Of butter to private customers af-
fords opportunities for selling other
farm and garden products, including
poultry. eggs and byproducts of the
dairy - cottage cheese, for instance,
which some dairymen make from their
skimmilk. A dairyman living quite a
distance from town would not often de-
eide to establish or buy milk route !;
hence the decision has to be made as to
whether it will be better and more
profitable to make the milk up at home
or send it, or the cream, to the public
creamery, or the milk to a cheese fac
tory, provided one or both of those in
situations are convenient There are, no
doubt, times and locations when and
where it may be better to patronize a
creamery or cheese factory in prefer
ence to making up milk at home.

Big Waste.

Edward Atkinson makes a very sharp,
keen remark when, in writing about
the fearful waste Of both skimmilk and
cornstalks, he says in effect that he
does not know much about farming,
but when he sees this waste going on
all because of the Ignorance of men he
has right to conclude that the aver
age farmer himself really knows but
little of farming. Little as Mr., Akin
son knows, remarks Hoard Dairyman,
he knows enough to see this big waste,
whereas he talks with lots of farmers
who don't know it, nor can they see it,
Pope says something about familiarity
breeding contempt. Is that not the Sc
cret of this matter? So many farmers
have for SO long time been accus
toned to this wasteful way Of handling
cornstalks and skimmilk that they
really cannot see the wastefulness of it.
But Mr. Atkinson is right, clear away
right, when. he speaks of this fearful
waste Let it be remembered always
that 40 per cent of the combined value
of the corn plant is in the stalk. Let
every farmer take that fact as his guide
and then so shape his farm methods,
feeding methods and all methods as
to save all of that waste possible. Let
him also remember that 40 per cent has
been once earned by his own expendi
ture for labor, and he must pay for the
growing of it. If he wastes 40 per cent
of what he earns, the responsibility
rests on him and not on Providence. A
full study and consideration of that
fact will be enough to lead any man
out into better and more saving meth
DDS if he will but follow it's teachings.

How Armour Was Named Phil.
Tt is told Of Philip D. Armour of Chi

at all. He was named after his father,
Danforth Armour. Mr.. Armour isquoted
as giving this explanation recently of
how he got the name of Philip: Il was
named Phil after a colored man who
lived in our neighborhood and was the
terror of all the boys. The name of the
fellow was Phil Morgan, and he was UP
to all sorts of capers, and I suppose be-
cause was so full of pranks myself the
boys called me Phil, too. The ID in my
name stands for Danforth. That was
my fathers name. But the boys insisted
on calling me Phil, and Phil I remained.

housewife who wishes to make few

observe the above principles. Another
thing, most small winter butter max

is fully aware that the butter he is eat

of natural hue. It really tastes better
to have it so, which proves how much
the eye acts as a guide to the palate.
The worst mistake is in coloring the
butter too highly, which is almost as
bad as not coloring it enough. A happy
medium is in striking a shade Of the
natural color of the June product
With small makers this compels the

the employment of a perfectly reliable
