WHY WOMEN EXCEL.
1t IL Because in the Management OF
Farm Diaries They Are More
Patient Than Men.

P. B. Crosby speaks Il great truth
when he says: Not long ago. while
visiting friend, the cows were driven
up to water just at dinner time. The
master asked who had told the boy to
drive the cows up, and the mistress
said that she had. The cows, she said,
had to stay in the field all day without
any water, and the milk was falling off
in consequence, and she had told the
boy to bring them up every day to water
at dinner time. instantly thought of
several innovations on this farm in
spired by the mistress of it, all of which
were to the betterment of the dairy,
and it occurred to me that there would
be very many better dairies in this
country if the better half of the farm
were to do mere managing. A man usu-
ally has not the patience to attend to all
the little details of dairying, and it is
just the same little details that make
for success. But woman has the
requisite patience and when she has a
mind to manage the dairy it is far bet
ter if she does it. I know of one man
who taught his wife all she knows
about butter making, and she now
makes better grade of butter than he
did, because she has the patience to at
tend to all the small items that he in his
lorday manner sHpped.-Dakota Field

indian Native Cnva1rv.

When man wishes to enlist in a
silladar cavalry regiment he must pro-
vide himself with horse, saddlery, a
lance Gf his regiment are lancers), a
sword, his uniform, and his transport;
or else he must be employed as rider
by some other person who is the happy
possessor of all these necessaries. In
the former case he is called silladar,
or the owner of an assami; and in the
latter case bargir, and his employer
his silladar. A silladar draws pay for
his assami and also for his own services
Thus, if a man owns two assamis, he
draws two lots of horse pay and one lot
Of pay for himself, correspondents
amount to this last being paid to the
man who rides his second horse-that
IS to say, to his bargir. In some regi-
ments, until comparatively recently, il
was quite usual for one man to own ten
or twelve assamis, or even an entire
troop. More than this, it was not in
usual for an assam to be left by will
to 2 mans wife orinfant child, in which
case the executors employed a subs ii.

FEMININE DAIRY WISDOM.

Much Of the profit during the winter
depends upon the comfortable quar-
ters given the cows.
Be sure to let the sunshine in the
stable-it is sure death to many dis
ease germs. particularly germs Of tu-
berculosis.
Regular habits, fixed places and
times for milking and regular feeding
with an occasional change of diet, will
do a great deal to keep your product
constant and even.
In every dairy barn there should be a
small room where the mixers can
wash their hands before milking, and
with pail and sponge at hand the nd.
ders of the cows can be washed il
they have become soiled. Without per.
feet cleanliness there can be no good

THREE-CENT MILK.
Produced on the Average Farm
at g. Profit.

Whether or not a farmer can pro-
duce milk at three cents a quart, de-
pends, first, on the sort of COWS he has,
says Hoard's Dairyman. A cow that
produces 1895 quarts yields within a
fraction of 5000 pounds. A good COW
should produce 5000 pounds of 1878 to
per cent. milk. At three cents quart
the cash value of 5000 pounds of milk
is $69.75. With good farm manage
ment such COWS should be kept for $40;
we have then profit above the cost of
feed of $29.75. The labor cost should
not exceed one good man to Is cows.
There are several questions to con-
slider when farmers say they cannot
afford to produce milk at three cents
a quart. Such as the following, for in
stance: "Why can not afford it?"
us it because my cows are too poor
in quality? I certainly ought not to
expect to make any profit if will
not make practical effort to have
COWS that average at least 5000 pounds
a year of four per cent. milk" Am l
making any real intelligent effort to
keep better cows? "Have I been study
ing this question as business farmer
ought?' "Have taken pains to breed
and raise better cows or have depend
ed on buying cows bred by men who
know less about breeding good COW

DIRT IN THE DAIRY.
ure II But = Question Of Very
Short Time.

When is dairy clean? The safest
answer to this question lies in describ-
ing when dairy is dirty. and danger
ously dirty, too, says the New York
Farmer. When woodwork in the dairv
gives off smutty. musty, fusty acid,
rank and spoiled buttery smell it is
dirty. When tin vessels, such as pals.
cans, dippers. cups and skmmers, after
being "thoroughly washed" give off a
sourish smell. or show dark lines of
roatter in the folds and seams of the tin
they are dirty, and the dirt of just such
a Sort and in just such places, as to
encourage the bacteria in the air to
drop down upon it, to crawl into it, to
feed upon it and to multiply in it until
they swarm in it and are ready to
launch themselves into the milk put
into those vessels. When the windows,
walls. floors and fixtures in the dairy
are unpleasant to the smell when the
room is warmed up there is dirt pres
ent, enough dirt to have an effect upon
the flavor and other qualities of the
milk and of the butter made from it.
When vessel from which milk is re-
moved shows layer of black sediment
in the bottom. smelling with unpleas-
ant suggestiveness of the BARNARD.
there is dirt, plain, straight, unmis-
taxable dirt there. dirt that is unpleas-
ant to think of as component part of
milk that is to be used by humans as
food. No dairy showing these things
in any degree can really be called
"clean" or decently clean, or healthful-
~ clean. Hardly any other occupation
On earth makes such demands for clean
lihess and offers such difficulties in the
work of securing cleanliness as the milk
and butter and cheese industry.

Wood Ashes for Cows.

In the early settlement Of the coun-
try, when cows had access to newly
cleared land with its burned and
charred stumps, they used often to 60
to where stumps had been burned and
lick up the charcoal. Many farmers
believe that cows thus allowed free
range were less liable to abortion than
those kept in close stables. The ashes
probably satisfied some want in the
animal economy. It may have been the
phosphate they contain which is re-
quired By. the bones q the growing
foetus. # cows eat too much the pot

their stomachs. which OF ten results

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
TINS tube gets lntiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tub be restored to it's normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,

THE POK WAH TREE
1t Grows in Bushn ell Park and China
men Like Its NauseatinE
Fruit.

There was an expression OF supreme
contentment on the face of the China
man as he sat under tree in Bushnell
park the other afternoon picking up
fruit that had fallen from it. His loose
blouse and wide pantaloons tapped IN
the wind and his pigtail described cir
cles, triangles, all manner of lines, and
various other geometrical forms as it
yielded to the fitful gusts of wind. It
was chilly enough, and Officer Strick-
land, as he looked at the industrious
Chinaman, did not feel his heavy blue
overcoat bit uncomfortable. But the
Chinaman did not seem to mind the
wind in the least. His teeth might
chatter, his nose might take on blush
tint, and his fingers might suffer from
numbness, but he continued his work
with unremitting industry and kept his
happy look unclouded by anything
that was even suggestive of unhappl-
ness It was evident he was engaged
in task that he liked. The fruit had
a very offensive odor and the Chinaman
handled it in nauseating manner. He
had fair-sized basket, into which he
threw the stones of the fruit, leaving
the soft substance which covered It on
the turf. His hands were besmeared
with the substance.
In reply to the questions of Officer
Strickland and a Times reporter, the
Chinaman said the tree which yielded
the fruit was called the Pok Wah tree
In China. The fruit is considered a
delicacy in the celestial kingdom, and
even Ii Hung Chang-the statesman
that can look wise and ask embarrass-
ing questions of a personal nature
considers himself in luck when his
chef serves him with dish of the fruit.
The outer substance, which is nauseat-
ing to the stomach of anyone but q
Chinaman, is made into Chinese catsup
that always occupies position of
honor at the mandarin's table when
birds nests, sharks fins and other ap-
petizing dishes are served. The meat
of the stones has medicinal property
of high value. The Chinaman, whom
Officer Strickland called "Charley,"
name which seems favorite one in the
nomenclature of Cinnamon, stated that
in China the stones of the fruit are
cooked just as we cook chestnuts, and
that after they are boiled they are
opened and the meat taken out.
A lady passed through the park later
TN the afternoon. Seeing the Chinaman
picking up the fruit she was curious to
see what it seemed like. She took one
of the plums-if the sweet, luscious
fruit of the American orchard is not
disgraced by applying it's name to the
disgusting thing of Chinese lineage
that resembles it-and broke it open.
The stencil from it was so strong that
she dropped it Immediately. She wore
gloves which she was obliged to dis
card in order to free herself from the
offensive odor.
There are three of these trees in
Bushnell park, but only one yields
fruit. Officer Strickland calls them
the Chinese plum trees. 49, Hartford
