There are three plants which give
a tropical appearance to any garden,
and yet are so easily grown that they
require almost no care at all. They
may be used in clumps on the lawn as
center plants in beds, or in row back
of lower growing plants. The first is
the datura, which will be loaded with
immense white, trumpet-shaped flow
ers of delightful fragrance. The sec
ond is the double dwarf sunfower,
with it's bright yellow blossoms that
resemble chrysanthemum as much
as they do an old-fashioned sunfic wer.
The third is the ricinus, or castor bean,
which is grown more for its wonderful
ly large and beautiful leaves. A bed
having the ricinus for a center, with
daturas around it, IS a beautiful sight.

WASHING THE UDDERS.
1t Is the First Step Toward Securing
an Absolutely Uncontaminated
MIX supply.

To secure the milk without contami-
nation is a problem which is practical
ly solved by washing the COWS udderS
before milking them. If clean, pure,
sweet dairy products are desired one
of the first and most essential consid-
erations in the process is to get the
milk without contamination.
Of course many will question the
sanity of farmer-dairyman who is
seen with buckets of water and neces-
sary cloths cleaning the udders of his
COWS. This is to be expected. But let
it be reported, if anyone finds pleasure
in circulating the rumor, that the I'D
der-washing farmer is slightly off,
and has cranky IDEAS" Just keep an
eye on him and it will be learned that
his butter and cream are bringing
fancy prices and go into the kitchens
of the well TODD town and city people.
Moreover, if investigation is made it
will be discovered that the excellence
of his dairy products is due largely to
cleanliness.
If cleanliness is practical while milk
ing, the udders of the COWS washed be-
forehand, it is very probable that it
will be observed in the subsequent
handling of the milk. 1t is right al
ways to begin at the beginning, and to
wash the udders is the first step to.
ward securing uncontGminated milk.
This is done with milk-warm water,
and the udders are dried with ABSORB
ton towels CT cloths. The milk drawn
first should be rejected as it contains
bacteria which have developed in the
milk at the orifice of the teat since
the last milking. This is extra work, "
but it pays.-Farmers' Voice.

SECTION OF COW STALL.

would not work well, and it would be
difficult to place a scantling so that
part of the droppings would not be in
the bedding.
! have now made all my stalls by
different model, not altogether unlike
the Hoard stall, but which | consider
quite an improvement on it, described
as follows: First divide the entire
space for stalls into spaces of two
stalls each. Put up studding for par
titions feet long. Partly board up
each partition. Across these unfn-
ished partitions place 2XS piece CD
not nearer the floor than 81 inches,
with edge on stall side 2 feet from feed
way. (W). Finish the partitions to
height of about 4 feet 6 inches. Across
the top place 2x4 piece CD, so that
the Stats (E) nailed to it and the 2XS
piece will be perpendicular. The front
eide of the rack COZ is boarded up at an
angle; making it lower than the other
side. so that the bottom can be reached
in cleaning out.
Next make box with partition for
at the side where feed is put about six
inches, the other side two or three
inches. Place the box in position un
der the rack, which is made for two
COWS; raise four inches from the floor
by putting short pieces of two by four
(K) underneath. The rack is much bet
ter for feeding whole cornfodder if the
space for two COWS is made in one rack.
The two stall pieces may now be di
vided by short partitions not running
through the feed rack. The scantling
to prevent the cow from stepping back
to lie down, is placed six feet from the
rack, or same as in the Hoard stall
just in rear of the cows hind feet as
she stands at the rack. In the diagram.
A is the rack; b is the feed box, and c
is the scantling to prevent the cow
from stepping back to lie down. ID,

DEATH IN THE MILK.
Infants by the Score Are Murdered
Every Year Through the Use of
representatives."

Recent reports on the use of pre-
infant whose chief food was milk, saws
the New York Farmer. The infant was
sick, and the physicians, after investi-
eating everything else connected with
it, turned to its food. At once they dis
covered that the milk fed to the unfor-
atechild was "preserved" milk, that
is to say, milk in which an unscrupu-
lous dealer had put boracic acid to
keep it sweet" The adulterant made
the milk unfermentable, of course, and
it also made it absolutely indigestible
The milk could not sour. Neither
could it be digested by the unfortunate
infant.
This is a typical case of the danger
Gus effects of 'preservatives' in food.
That infant was being murdered by de-
grees. The man who placed the pre-
sentative in the milk was committing
murder, and committing it for the
basest of all base motives, the motive
of gain. How should the public re-
gard a dealer who would thus endanger
the lives of his patrons children? Could
any punishment be too severe for n
crime of that kind? 1t is to be feared
that thorough investigation in the
towns and cities would show that very
many deaths of infants are directly
due to the use of adulterated or "pre-
served" milk, doctored cream, and
other monstrosities.

boxes, and saw them through again
and again, as suggested in the dotted
lines. All that remains is to nail in the
corners the pointed stakes that hold
up the rails. Nothing better can be de-
vised for tomatoes than supports made
in this way. The same kind of supports
are also exceedingly useful for putting
about rose bushes or small shrubs that
one may be starting upon the lawn.
Such small growths need this protec-
ton until they are big enough to look
out for themselves.-N. Y. Tribune.

Hints on De IN OrnInu CaIyes

The best method that ! have tried
is simply to pare off the horn with a
sharp knife after it has come through
the skin, but it can be done any time
before the horn has become attached
to the skull-or in other words, while
the horn is loose. ! have used the com
mon I've such as is used in making soaL,
but if too much is put on | think it in
jures the skull TO some extent and
causes the skin to grow tight over the
place. We dehorned three that were
about five months old and their heads
are as smooth as natural moolleys. |
think the knife is less painful and heals
better. | think the best age is about
one month Old. j. Mckinney, in Ma.

Intelligent Man.

made two for trial, but found they did

large enough, is too high for putting in

about two feet from her position at the
rack to cat out of the feed box, which,

The above illustration shows one of the
mammoth buildings occupied by the great
Mail Order House of the John Nj. Smyth
Company Of Chicago.
For one.third of a century this Company
has been in business. Beginning in a small
way they supplied their neighbors in the
nearby towns, each year widening their
field. They are now selling merchandise di.
rect to the consumer at wholesale prices
throughout the United States.
Some years ago they began supplying
their customers with an illustrated cata.
logue. AS the business expanded they
were obliged to increase the size of this
catalogue, until today it exceeds 1000 illus.
trated pages, quoting the lowest Wholesale
prices on everything to Eat, Wear and Use,
BY a superior process of color photography
they illustrate many of their goods in natural
colors, bringing out the rich color value OF
curtains, carpets, draperies, and the latest
designs in wall papers, etc, thus enabling
the customer hundreds of miles distant TO
select goods at his own fireside, knowing by
the description, illustration and price the
class of goods he may expect.

more and more popular each year, for it not

SMALLPOX DISTRIBUTORS.
How the Germs Are Nurtured and the
Disease Is Spread.

It would seem that people will never
learn to be careful. The recent alarm
ing spread of that dire epidemic,
smallpox, throughout different sec
tons of the country has been traced
by physicians and sanitarians in many
instances directly to the moldy and
rotting layers of paper and paste
which cover the walls of many houses.
The practice of laying layer after
layer of paper on wall, using COM
mon flour paste, is especially calcu-
lated to crente homes for disease
germs. People could not do more to
effect such result if they tried. The
rotting vegetable matter affords caves
from which are ready to dart forth
the infection at every opportunity.
There is no excuse for this practice,
as walls and ceilings can be coated
with pure, clearly and sanitary ma
terial like Alabastine, for instance, at
no greater expense. Alabastine is
rock-ba cement, which incorporates
itself with the wall or ceiling. 1t is
easily applied, comes ready to mix
with cold water, requires no washing
or scraping before renewing or re-
tinting, is beautiful, long-lasting and
safe.
For walls that have been infected,
nothing is equal to Alabastine as
disinfectant to render them pure and
clean and the rooms once more hab.

THE NEW York. WORLD
THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION.

The striking and important events
of the last year have established the
overwhelming value of THE THRICE-A-
WEEK WORLD TO every reader. For an
almost nominal sum it has kept its SUBJ
scribers informed of the progress Of alS
our wars and, moreover, has reported
them as promptly and fully as If it were
daily. With our interests still extend
ing throughout the world, wit h our
troops operating in the Philippines and
the great Presidential campaign, too, at
hand, it's value is fur,h her increased.
The motto OF THE THRICE. WEEK
WORLD is improvement. 1t strives each
year TO be better than it was the year
before, and public confidence in it is
shown by the fact that it now circulates
more than twice as many papers every
week as any other newspaper not a
daily, published in America.
We offer this rnequaled newspaper
and THE WEEKLY LEADER together one
year for S1.15.
