HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN.

The cow loveth generous feeder.
Better let that calf be a little fat
than little starved.
No man can have a clean conscience
and a dirty cow stable.
Be sure and feed the good COW
enough; be more sure you are not
feeding 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, clean
and comfortable in winter Jack
Frost is Gan Unsuitable consumer of
milk.
Not the least valuable merit of good
rich silage is its palatibility; to make
the cows "mouth water" is a wise
part or 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
likely to find the most protected spot
and stand still while they ruminate
upon the position that their owner is
a fool.

OUR FARMERS.
THE FARMERS GARDEN.

Farmers as rule are now giving
more attention to their gardens than
formerly, yet even now many fall TO
realize the Importance and advantage
af a we'll cultivated. garden in the
economy of household affairs. They
have a mistaken idea that garden
necessarily means small Enclosure
to he cultivated in a laborious way by
hand tools, just at the time the most
energetic efforts are needed for the
staple crops. The Rural NeaU Yorker
says:
SIT is of course necessary to plant
vegetables in some place secure from
damage by fowls and stock, but this
can often be accomplished by locating
the garden in a well-prepared, near
by corner portion, at least, IN which
may be planted asparagus, rhuoaro
and horseradish, ought to be IN posi-
tion where horse cultivation can be
used. as it is difficult to stir the ground
sufficiently for such deep-rootlng
crops with hand tools. The making
of farm garden, where a half acre
or more of good, we'll drained land
can be had, is not difficult matter.
A long narrow strip, other conditions
being equal, is preferable to a square
acre, as the long rows obvlate ire
quent turnings of the horse, and con-
sepuent destruction of plants near the
headlands. Good stable manure, II
fine and partly rotted, should be ap-
piled at the rate Of at least fifteen Or
twenty tons to the acre, and ground
thoroughly plowed. If fertilizer from
the hog-pen and hen-house can be Cd
tanned, it may be now applied, and
we'll narrowed in, or a standard
chemical fertilizer sown broadcast at
the rate of 800 to 1000 pounds to the
acre, Just before the narrowing begins.
The plot may then be marked OF IN
light burrows three feet or more apart.
If this is done early in April, aspara-
gus, rhubarb and horseradish can be
planted at once, as also the earliest
peas, to be followed in turn by onions,
beets, radishes, lettuce and the late
root crops. such as carrots, parsnips,
turnips and satisfy. Of course every
farmer knows how and when to plant
his potatoes, and we only suggest that
the home garden is suitable place
to plant the very earliest kinds for
table use."

LOOKING FOR FRIENDS.

1t is certainly trying to a clerk to
be asked to take down every article
from shelf in store, and then find
that the customer did not come in
with the intention of buying, simply
to while away the time, but every
clerk in such circumstances has not
as comfortable an opportunity for
revenge offered him as had one of
whom the Springfield Republican tells:
He was a clerk in local store, and
had had his patience sorely tried by a
lady who wanted to look at some
baskets. Evidently she did want to
look,-and to do nothing else,-for
she let the clerk take from the shelves
a large assortment of baskets, until
all but two had found their way to
the counter. Then she turned away,
remarking, as an excuse, that she had
only come in to look for one of her
friends.
1t was hardly wonder that the
clerk was exasperated enough to re-
taliate.
"Madam," he replied, courteously,
''if you have the slightest idea that
your friend is in either of those two
baskets still on the shelves, I shall be
pleased to take them down for you to

w. &. T. u. COLUMN
TEMPERANCE ESSA VS..

Extracts from package of school
essays kindly given us by a public
school teacher:
About two years and half ago my
father smoked a great deal, and from
doing so he got cold sweats at night,
but he did not know what the cause
was.
was in Miss C-'s class, and as we
were studying physiology found out
the whole cause of my fathers all
ment. 1t was smoking and nothing
else. told him what we had studied,
and he made me promise that if I
would stop eating so much butter and
would never smoke he would quit
smoking. About three months after
he had quit smoking entirely, and he
has not had cold sweats near as much
as he had. The result of this lesson
was to help save my fathers life and
perhaps it will do the same for more
than one other.
The other day there was an item in
the ST. Paul Dispatch about man who
was an habitual drinker. He drank
more than he ought to and got drunk.
The alcohol excited his brain so that
he tried to shoot his wife and then
shot himself.
Liquor often brings sickness. A
constant user who gets drunk every
little while gets dropsy, because the
liquor fattens the inside of the body.
The fat grows around the heart and
stops it suddenly. This is dropsy.
Tobacco when chewed makes the
teeth brown and makes the breath
smell bad. This chewing hurts the
salivary glands and wastes the saliva.
Tobacco is hurtful to the teeth. I
have heard men say that it stops the
teeth growing on the side they chew
it. 1t infames the stomach SO that it
cannot digest food.
Tobacco smoked weakens the lungs
and often causes consumption. knew
a man who always smoked cigars and
got cancer on the lip, and as result
suffered much pain and then died.
I think the W. @. T. u. is a very
good society and hope that it will
come out victorious at last.

4 DARK VIEW OF MANILA

| Of the problems that confront us in
the reconstruction of the Philippines
the gravest and wickedest is one of
our own importation. The Manila
saloons, taken collectively, are the
worst possible kind of a blot on Uncle
Sans fair name. The city's air reeks
with the odor of the worst of English
liquors. All of this has come to pass
since the 18th of August 1898! With
the vanguard of American troops en-
tering Manila rode the newly appoint
ed Philippine agent of a concern that
had ship-loads of drink on the way.
He secured offices, warehouses, OPP
and opened business. Some of the
proudest and best youth of the land
marched into Manila to proclaim the
dawn of new era of honesty, liberty,
and light. 1t was a day of rare i'm
port to the downtrodden East. But
the saloon keeper sneaked under the
folds of Old Glory! Almost before
the American soldier had stacked
arms in the city a score of American
saloons were open. Swiftly other
Der grew and grew. At the outbreak
of the instruction there were hun
dreds of American saloons in Manila.
There not being at that time enough
American civilians, so disposed, to
take up all the licenses, natives were
debauched into the traffic. Spaniards
engaged in the business, perhaps with
an ironic purpose of fastening the
corruption of both American and Fill
ipino.
To- day there is no thoroughfare of
length in Manila that has not it's long
line of saloons. The street cars carry
Haunting advertisements of this brand
of whiskey and that kind of gin. The
local papers derive their main reve-
nue. from the displayed advertisements
of firms and companies eager for their
share of Manila's drink money. The
city presents to the new conner a sat-
urnalia of alcoholism. For Manila's
climate is one in which drink is pecul
iarly seductive and insidious. It is
always progressively hot there, and
glass of beer, fresh from the ice, seems
to the hot, prespiring, and dusty like
a draught of nectar. He who over
works in the slightest degree finds
momentary stimulus in whiskey.
There is relief-though dangerous re-
lief-in alcohol, and so American Ma
Mia drinks, despite all the warnings
of science that in plague an dfever
infested tropical countries alcohol
presents the shortest route to the
grave.-H. Irving Hancock in LesIie's
Weekly.

The new spring gowns, made all of
one material and not with separate
waists as heretofore, will be much
worn.
The separate waists will be of light
silks and musiins or other thin ma
terials.
Almost all the new spring stuffs are
of soft, clinging quality, which
makes them adaptable to the present
style of gown.
There are to be some lovely silk
muslins with punches of flowers and
sprays of vines and buds worn.
The smartest shirt waist will be
made tucked back and front from the
neck down, and the tucks will be
rather wide than otherwise. The
great tendency is to make the waist
line as long as possible IN front.
The tailor and walking skirts Will
barely sweep the ground, and the
long trains have entirely passed away
with the habit and close fitting backs.
Sleeves are still worn tight, and are
much trimmed. They arc quite long,
and the smartest ones are made end
ing in point which covers the. top of
the hand to the knuckles.
Collars are to be worn high, but not
as stiff as they have been.
The new hats are made of some
fancy straw braids, tulle or silk nets
of the most fantastic shapes. Breasts,
birds, wings and feathers are much
less worn, but one cannot have too
many f1owers.-Ladies' Home Journal.

FEEDING SOWS TO PRODUCE MILK.

Much is said and written about
feeding COWS SO as to produce
much milk. 1t is equally important
that the brood SOW shall be thus fed,
if not indeed more so. The start that
her litter gets in life is absolutely de-
pendent at the first on the amount of
milk that they get from the dam.
The brood SOW cannot make bricks
without straw any more than the
Egyptians could. Much care should
be exercised, therefore, in giving her
milk producing foods. Such are most
heterogeneous foods, as, for instance,
shorts, wheat bran, skim milk and
oilcake. Next to these come oats and
peas when they can be had at reason
able preces. Field roots also, as tur-
nips or mangels, are also excellent,
but the SOW should not be confined to
a ration of those when sucking her
young or prehaps at any time, since
they are so bulky. When thus fed a
SOW will give much more milk to her
young than if she is fed chiefly on
such food as corn or rye meal. 1t is
necessary also to guard against undue
emaciation; that is to say, falling off
in flesh in the SOW. If only heterogeneous
foods are fed this is likely to follow.
To prevent it, corn, barley or rye
ought to be fed in due proportion.
The greater the drain upon the sys-
tenn of the SOW in thus furnishing milk,
the more relatively of those carbon
aceous foods should be fed.
