Yellow Butter.


1t is not only the change of food that
is the cause of butter being more yel-
low when the cows get to pasture,
though that has much to do with It,
but the sunshine which they receive
when out in the pasture, says The
American Cultivator. It has been
proved that the cow standing In the
barn and fed on winter rations gives q
higher color to her butter in the sum-
mer than In winter and more when
her stall Is on the south side Of a sta
BILE where the sun can shine in most Of
the day than when she is kept in q
dark stable. It has also been found
that, as general rule, or, we will say,
an invariable rule, other conditions
being the same, her milk will be
richer in butter fat during succession
of pleasant, bright days than at the
end of two or three cloudy days, even
though they are neither cold nor wet.
No young animals grow strong and
thrifty when confined where they do
not get sunshine. If any farmer or
dairyman has his stables so that the
sun cannot shine into them most Of the
day, it will pay him we'll to alter them
around to the sunny side, cut away
and put in more windows and, if he Is
where cold weather prevails in winter,
provide for double windows, with an
air space between them, to give sun
light and still keep out the cold wealth
er, and while making alterations he
should not fail to provide for system
Of perfect ventilation to insure the
health of the animals and the freedom
from unpleasant odors or injurious
bacteria in the room where the milking
is done. Now is the time to make such
changes in the farm buildings before
the new crop Of hay goes into the barn.

Unconditional Surrender"
One of two alternatives now COZ.

point Of determination. AS the situa-

The reply of the British premier to the
note of Presidents Kruger and Steyn
and his refusal Of the mediatory offer

the solicitation of the two South Afri-

there had at any time been a POSSIBLE
ity of compromise that time is now
passed. Denuded Of the suave YER
biage Of diplomacy, Lord Salisbury's
reply to Secretary Hays tender Of our
good Offices was bluntly to the effect
that If the presidents of the South
African Republic and the Orange Free
State wanted to know upon what
terms the British government would
end the war they should ask Lord Rob-

reply, a." everybody knows, would be

Ballad of the Burglar.
It was wicked burglar,
Who with his jimmy pried
And twisted ut the window,
And soon he was inside.
It was the wa4erul witty
Who clutched her husbands arm
And in voice that trembled
Told him Of her alarm.
She said: II heard the burglar
As he was creeping In
And heard him curse the rocker
That struck upon his shin.
Since then within the pantry
Strange noise I hear him make;
! fear that he has eaten
Ny first, my only cake.
''Oh, hubby, hasten swiftly
And summon the police
And have them take to prison
This breaker OF our peaceI"
It is the brutal husband.
Who cynically sneers
At what his WHY tells him
And smokers at her fears.
