DEACONESS NO MORE.
Ex-senator Ingalls, Daughter, Who Ia
to BE Married in April.

Miss Constance ingalls,, who has de
cided to quit being deaconess and be-
come a wife, is the second daughter
of ex-senator ingalls, of Kansas. Miss
Ingalls, is to marry Robert Porter
Schick of Reading, Pa.
This announcement carries with (
the unusual interest that must attach
to the coming back into worldly life oil
IN interesting young woman, clever
both in art and journalistic attain
ment, who two years since gave up
society and the pleasures of a lovely
home for the DeaconeSs school in Phil
adelphia and by austere and eXactinS
training fit herself for work among
the poor.
Last spring, in search of rest, after
close attention to the routine duties
of the school, the young deaconess
went to Reading, Pa, to spend her va
cation with friends and there met Mr..
Schick, who seems to have been elo-
quent in his pleading, for their en-
gagement soon followed.
Miss Ingalls, has one married sister.
Mrs. Edward Giles Blair, who lives N
Kansas City. Her parents are n
Washington for the winter, and Miss
Ingalls, has been with them since leav-
ing the Deaconess home. The mar
rage is set for some time in April,
and the young people are planning to
go to the Bermudas for their wedding
trip.

"But you perpetrated your farce OF
ousting him. and the heart of many
who voted for you sank notch or two
in their breasts, AS you obeyed the die
tates of The corporations, when not a
citizen of Kansas was asking for his
discharge.
Lately you have had a grand chance
to raise yourself in the estimation of
some of the boys in Manila, when a
whole company petitioned you for the
appointment of their friend and CON-
rade to be captain. But you turned
down their request even after it is
shown you that the man they want is
senior by four days over the man you
appoint.
Glow those boys in the trenches

But you add to tneir load 1y appoint

A very simple means to prevent 6
COW sucking herself is to take a tough
hickory stick, fourteen inches long,
three fourths of an inch thick in the
center, sharpened to a point at each
end; cut a groove around the center,
half an inch wide and half the depth of
the thickness of the wood. Whittle
each end nicely to a point, or leave it
somewhat blunt, and insert a sharp
ened piece of wire in each end. Make
q hole in the animals nose, in the soft
portion, but close up to the hard mem
brane of the nostrils, as you would for
ringing a bull, and small enough so it
will require considerable pressure to
slip the bulge Of the stick until it
reaches the middle notch, when it will

We have always pursued, and we think
the better one: Before sitting down to
milk we have been accustomed to have
the mixer give the COW to be MIXED

The question then comes in as to the

demonstrated that we can, by sowing
in March oats and Canada peas, two
bushels Of oats to one NJ peas, make a
fine crop of very valuable hay to cut

Immediately giving the land a dressing
of acid phosphate and potash, we can
SOW the COW pea and make another
very large crop of hay in time to pre-,
pare the stubble for the wheat or win
ter oats, and we believe that these two
forage crops will give US more feed
than one from the velvet bean, and
that the land will then be in condition
to carry through a crop Of small grain
without additional fertilizer. So we
are not ready yet to go into ecstacies
over the velvet bean. 1t may at times
be of great value, but we in this lati-
tude at least can do better, we think,
with the oats and Canada peas to be
followed by a fertilized crop of COW
peas, as the best possible preparation
for q crop of small grain in the fall, and
our soil will be more benefited than by

MILK YOUR cows CLRAN

Cows not MIXED clean will tend to
dry of in short order. Another i'm
portant reason for milking clean is to
get all of the butter fat, which is con
tanned in a much larger per cent. in
the last than in the first milk drawn,
as is shown by the following expert
ment: The Kansas Agricultural Col
lege dairy has conducted an expert
ment showing the Importance Of clean
milking. Five COWS that were giving
a fair quantity of milk were selected
and their milk collected in half pint
bottles, each teat contributing it's share
to every bottle. These samples we're
tested with the Babcock test with the
folio wing results: Cow No. 6 varied
from 6 of 1 per cent. to z 2 per cent. ;
COW No. 10 varied from q Of 1 per cent.
ID 6 6 per cent. cow No. IA varied
from 1 6 per cent, to 5 8 per cent {; COW
No. Is varied from 1 5 per cent. to 6 8
par cent. COW No. 30 varied from 2 of
l per cent. to z s per cent. The results
SHOW a gradual, although not entirely
uni 'orm increase in the per cent. Of fat
from the beginning to the last of the
milking, except with the last two sam
pies drawn from each COW. Hare the
par cent. of fat would take a sudden
leap, amounting often to a third OF a
half of the total variation. This shows
very clearly how important it is to get
all the mill. By averaging the result s
it was found that the last quarter of a
pint was worth from : to II pints Of
milk first drawn from the udder.-
