HIS MISTAKE.
An American Girl Gives an English
man a Little Light on
Ladies.

A Louisville girl, who was recently in
Germany, met a young English officer who
was in the same city, and, in fact, in the
same house with her for two months, study
ing German for his promotion. Like most
Europeans he had the usual absurd ideas
about the girls of this country, who, in the
minds OF the untraveled foreigner, are rather
hoyden creatures who smoke and have other
masculine traits.
After dinner one day, in the early ac-
quaintance of the couple, the officer offered
the Louisville girl q cigarette, and, upon her
refusing It, he said:
why, 1 thought all the girls in the
United States smoked"
$50 we do" replied the girl, "but never
cigarettes; only pipes. If you will get that
pipe off the mantelpiece in the next room l
shall be charmed to smoke with you"
Not suspecting the joke she was playing
on him, the officer brought the pipe and
filled it, and it was not until he saw the wry
faces his friend made in attempting to carry
out the joke that he appreciated the situa'
ton. He was continually telling the Ameri'
can in a tone of surprise that she was just
like the girls at home in England, and bel
| rejoinder was:
Lieutenant, don't you think a lady is q
lady the world over?"-Louisville Courier
Journal.

THE DAIRY STABLE.
To Keep 1t Clean and Free from had
Odors Should De the PrOpri-
etor's First Duty.

Keeping the COW stable clean and
sweet is one of the necessary requi-
sites of good dairying. It is impos-
sible to draw milk in a stable that is
nauseating in it's atmosphere and nave
the milk pure. The atmosphere fur
nishes the cause of bad odors that
become worse when developed in the
milk. 1t is not infrequent that q man
takes great pains to have his hands
washed and clean clothes on when he
milks. and yet allows the odors of the
manure to so permeate the whole
stable that it, is impossible to get good
results as to a clean product. Every
few months the stable should be given
a thorough cleaning, using not only
I've washes but disinfectants as well.
Then the daily task should be to keep
to do as a great New Jersey dairyman
does-keep a man to do nothing but
to remove the droppings as fast as
they are made, but the barn should be
cleaned out often enough to prevent
the odors from permeating every
thing. Whitewashing is valuable be-
cause it not only covers up germs that
may have escaped the disinfectant
washes, but acts as a reminder to the
dairyman that his stable is to be kept
clean. Dirt cannot accumulate on
whitewash without being recognized,
and thus the cleanings are likely to be
nearer together. Some have adopted
the practice of painting the boards
near the cows with coal tar. This
would appear to be a good thing, as it
prevents the boards taking in filth
and holding it. They should also be
easier cleaned for this painting

HINTS FOR

The COW loveth a generous feeder.
Better let that calf be a little fat than
a little starved.
No man can have a clean conscience
and a dirty constable.
Be sure you are feeding the good COW
enough; be more sure you are not feed
ing a poor one too much.
The good cow will make milk either
from her food or from her system
feed is cheaper than cow.
Let the cows bed be warm and clean
and comfortable these nights-Jack
Frost is an Unsuitable consume of milk.
Not the least valuable merit of good
rich silage is its p~alatability; to make
the cows mouth water" is a wise part
of feeding.
Cows don't always know enough
when turned out in the cold to skip
around to keep warm and make them
selves healthy" They are more like
ly to find the most protected spot and
stand still while they ruminate upon
the proposition that their owner is q
fool.-W. f. McSparran, in National
Stockman.

The Consumption OF Butter.

The statement that the consumption
of butter per capita is increasing is
true and is likely to have an important
bearing on the dairy interests of the
whole country. Butter has become a
necessary article of food for the great
mass of people, and is being more gen.
orally used every year, especially when
wage n are well employed. Peo-
pie need not be very old to remember
when butter was a luxury to the work
ing man and during the winter was
seldom on the table. Now it is q staple

A 1lap OF Her own setting.

We have all met people whose pride in
their possessions is so great that they can see
no charms in those of others. A young bota-
INST was showing a party of ladies and gen
tlemen through a conservatory OF some of
the choicest plants. Among the visitors was
a would-be young-looking middle-aged lady
who at every description volunteered the
statement that the plants and flowers she
had at home were quite the equal of any.

IMITATION BUTTER.
Every Pound of 1t Should Have
Stamped on 1t the ingredients
of Which II Is Composed.

The healthfulness of oleomargarine
is a question that is constantly being
considered. The difficulty of properly
answering the question is increased by
the fact hat the oleomargarine of to-
day is not necessarily the ~oleomargar-
inc of Tomorrow, and the ~oleomargar-
inc that is turned out by one factory
is not the same as that turned out by
another. Chemists have now discov-
ered that some oleomargarine contains
paratfin, to give it firmer composition.
Paraffin by itself is indigestible, and it
may also be indigestible when incor-
porated with the fats that compose
oleomargarine, but we are not yet GER
tain of that point, for the reason
that no one appears to have investigat-
ed what paraffin will do in such a COM
bination. 1t may be less harmful than
by itself OF it may be more harmful.
1t may be that the union of parafiin
with fat permits some of it to get
through the tissues with the fat, and
there it may work all kinds of mis-
chief--or it may not. However, people
do not care to take their chances on
such uncertainties. 1t is manifestly
the duty of the government to ascer.
tain such facts for the people. If par
ATTN is to be sold as butter we should
at least know what effect it will have
when taken into the human system
We believe that every pound of oleo'
margarine that goes out should have
stamped on the package containing il
the ingredients hat are used in its
manufacture, including all the preserv'
atives.-Farmers' Review.

To Master a Kicking Cow.

There are few things around n farm
that are more exasperating than a
balky horse or a kicking cow. No
trouble will be had with the latter if
this plan is tried: Take two straps
with a buckle on the end of each.
Buckle one of them about the animals
hind legs just above rhe big joiL3 and
back of the udder. This should .Ct be
loose enough to slip over the joint, and
not tight enough TO prevent slipping
the ether strap through it. Slip the
second strap through the first and
then buckle around the other leg the
same as the first, and draw up until the
fegs are held close together. You can
then proceed in safety with the milk
ing. Your cow will neither kick nor
run away. L. Irwin. in Ohio Farmer.
