Skim milk should always be used
when It is available, says a writer in
Blooded Stock. 1t is not only a good
flesh producer in itself, but it also
makes the ordinary grain feeds more
digestible and so adds greatly to their
value. While skim milk alone is rarely
profitable, from twenty to forty pounds
being required to make a pound Of
meat, hen mixed with grain in the
proportion of three pounds or less of
milk to each pound of grain it's value
Is greatly increased. In a test reported
by c. P. Goodrich one bushel of corr
produced ten pounds of pork, and n
hundred pounds of skim milk produced
live pounds of pork, when fed separate
ly. When fed together, however, the
mixture produced eighteen pounds of
meat, an increase of three pounds due
to the mixing. In this case n hun
dred pounds of skim milk took the
place of 44.8 pounds of corn. If the
corn was worth twenty-five cents a
bushel, the milk was worth 1876 cents
per n hundred pounds; If the o
was worth forty cents, the milk was
worth 31.4 cents. Extended tests in
the feeding of skim milk have been
made at the Utah station and are
these: THE hogs fed on the milk
n grain ration made much more
rapid gains than either those fed IN
milk alone or on grain alone. The
time required to make one hundred
pounds of gain vas seventy-nine days
for the hogs fed on milk and grain,
one hundred and sixteen days for those
fed on grain alone, and one hundred
and forty-seven days when the feed
was milk alone.
"The milk and grain lots required
2.58 pounds of digestible matter, the
milk fed lots, 2.85 pounds, and the
grain fed lots, 3.19 pounds to make n
pound of gain in live weight" In this
case one hundred pounds of skim milk
took the place of 1872 pounds Of grain
in the mixture. Work at other sta
tons has given very similar results
and has demonstrated that when not
more than four pounds of skim milk Is
used with each pound of grain the milk
is worth from fifteen to thirty cents per
hundred pounds. The younger and
smaller the hogs the higher is the
value of milk. For full grown and
aged animals it is Of less value. 1t
may be taken as a safe rule that it is
profitable to pay at least fifteen cents
per one hundred pounds of all the skim
milk needed to make four times the
weight of the grain fed, and where 1t
is impossible to secure enough for all
the hogs the available supply should
DE given to those pigs nearest the
weaving age and to sows sucking pigs.

WHAT WOMEN HAVE TO DO.
How Would Men Like to Have the
job?

How Would Men Like to Have the
job?
Not many persons can do a dozen
different things in one day and do
them all equally well, or, indeed, do
any of them well, says the Philadel-
phia Times. And yet the average
housekeeper has a dozen-oh, more, a
score or a hundred duties of radically
different natures, and if she fails in
n she falls short of the requirements
of society and her family. Mrs. De Jar
nette we'll expressed this idea before
the San Jose institute when she said:
IF a man goes into business, does
he assume the duties of head clerk,
bookkeeper, cash boy, collector and
janitOr? And if he could do sO-which
he cannot and would not ever ON
sider-would he look his best, act most
agreeable, keep a perpetual smile and
have his place of business spotless?
Let us look at woman. She enters
business-marriage-does she assume
duties of head h~ousekeeper, cook,
Seamstress, laundress, nurse, tutor M
outside man? And when she does
for she usually dOes-can she keep
her house clean, her temper serene,
buttons sewed on, remove all thoughts
of care from her husbands heart, keep
her prettiest clothes on and scented
with violet and lavender, her sweetest
smile on and her mouth puckered up
for a kiss?-for they only come when
least expected, for when we yearn FOR
them we usually keep on yearning.
No! of course she can't; could the
angels themselves? She can't run all
the special departments of a complex
marriage with a menagerie of child
hood annex, and a husband to come
home when twilight falls to claim
every iota of reserve vitality left, I
tell you she will either have to call
in some specialist demi-semi-occasion-
ally or else have more simple food, do
away with kitchen fads, let the hus-
band help with the little ones and feel
a burden of responsibility"

Nevertheless it was the one persistent
fancy of the Louisiana planter that his
daughter should be kept apart from
The turmoil, educated with all the low
ing care lavished upon the heiress
whose innocence of mind is held most
| precious. Bushnell loved Henrietta
Yette as he called her fondly-Yette,
who was budding into the beauteous
flower of the far-away, warmer cline
of their native land. Nc sooner was
she u of the convent than suitors
were legion. And when she was near
their love never thought of her vast
wealth. Suitors were many, but Bush
nell was on guard. He died suddenly,
however, and for some reason his wife
gave Henriette away to the Marquis
de la Piedra.
That marriage was a crime. The
Marquis was forty; the young octoroon
was sixteen. She submitted. as a girl
raised in a French convent will; she
went to the sacrifice with obedient res
ignation. Her marriage to the Span
ish attache opened to her daughter the
exclusive salons of several capitals, for
in Europe the prejudice against dark
blood does not obtain. But Mrs. Bush
nell was compelled to witness the tri-
umph of her offspring from afar. She
herself was ignored by society. The
widowed mulatto a little later married
Raoul Toche, the French dramatist,
whose plays are still giving joy to the
world. In two years he went into an
insane asylum. There, after a few
weeks, he died. She soon followed
him, killed at last IN her attempt Of

Gen. Cronje, who has been lombard

Was it the inconsolable grief of hav-
ing been cheated in life which she
sought to amuse away? Or had brood
ing transformed her hatred of the one
responsible man into a desire for re-
venge on the sex at large? At any
rate she began to play havoc among
the men who co~ngregated about her.
Her mansion became the rendezvous
of a fast set. But in the midst of all
that dancing and banqueting, to the
music of those orchestras, mems ca
reers were being ruined, mems lives
wrecked, suicides prepared. Nobody
knew the extent of this work; nobody
will ever know. For if one poor young
fellow, Pierre de Fantanes, actually
did blow out his brains on her door

SpS of "Squaring the Kickers" for
Big Circus.


Big Circus.
New Orleans Times-Democrat: "Ths
Job of ~'squarer' for a circus used to be
highly picturesque" said an old-time
Snowman the other evening. Now
a-days all the kicks that arise are at
tended to by a dignified and business
like claim agent, who is usually q
1rst-class lawyer. You would be sur
prised to know how many claims and
grievances bob up as a result of near
ly every engagement en- route, and it is
the policy of all the big shows at pres,
ent to investigate and dispose of them
immediately, having nothing hanging
over the concern. In the early days
some of the organizations were less
particular-it was anything to get
over the circuit then, and they let
each season take care of itself In
those merry times a gentleman who is
now a prosperous theatrical manager
went out n year as a 'squarer' for a
small and rather tough circus which
has since ceased to exist. His success
was marvellous. The show would often
be literally mobbed by folks threaten
ing all kinds of disaster, and demand
ing enormous damages for every con-
ceivable variety of outrage, but some

since a certain young man called on
his best girl to spend the evening.
When about to return home the on
versation CHANGED to turn to art, and
the young lady said to him that he
reminded her of the Venus de Milo.
whereupon the young man was delight

home he consulted an encyclopedia,
and in his deep chagrin and mortifi-
cation found that the Venus de Milo
had nc arms. He went down in the
cellar and tried to butt out his brains

came a time when money-making had
lost all power of interesting him, when
the pleasures of his native land had
lost all flavor to his palate. He real
lied on his property, and came to see
what Paris could yield in the way of
excitement. The whole family-black

Irrigation Lands A1kalized.

Maurice Watel, writing from Paris,
France, to Bradstreet's, says:
1 read in your journal that the west
ern irrigated lands become alkalized
by over-irrigation. Really all lands
become alkalized by irrigation wher-
ever rain is scarce. In Egypt the same
thing occurs as in the western United
States, and people are obliged, from
time to time, to wash the soil. Dur
ing those years the fields to be washed
are not cultivated, and they are wa
tered very heavily. The water used
for washing is carried away toward
the Nile by drainage mean the wa
ter which has penetrated the vege-
table layer and exhausted the alkali
in the same. In one word, in a
try of deserts the system of irrigation
always has as a counterpart a system
of drainage.
This system of drainage has the fol-
lowing object:
First-To permit the washing of the
soil when it is necessary. (Remedy).
Second-To carry away the water of
irrigation, which, after it penetrates
the vegetable layer, car take from the
subsoil the salts contained therein and
bring them to the surface by capillar-
ity. preventive measure.)

MiserrImus.
He has passed away
From a world of strife,
Fighting the wars of Time and Life,
The leaves will fall when the winds are
loud,
AND the SHOWS of the winter will weave
his shroud:
But he Will never, ah, never know
Anything more
OF leaves or snow.
The summer-tide
OF his life was past,
And his hopes were fading, fading fast.
His faults were many, his virtues few,
A tempest with f1ecks of heavens blue.
He might have scared to the gates of
light,
But he built his nest
With the birds of night.
He glimmered apart
In solemn gloom,
Like a dying lamp in a aunted tomb.
He touched his lutte with a magic spell,
But all his melodies breathed of hell,
Raising the Afrits and the Ghouls,
And the pallid ghosts
OF the damned souls.
But he lies in dust,
And the stone is rolled
over his sepulchre dark and cold.
He has Cancelled all he has done, or said
And gone to the dean and holy Dead.
Let US forget the path he trod,
He has done with US,
He has gone to God.

The time is coming when every farm
will be an experiment station. We
will then not have to depend on the
data gathered in a few situations in
each state, but will have thousands Of
scientific experiments upon which to
base conclusions. The work of max
ing the farms experiment stations is
going on with ever increasing rapidity.
The number of students in our agri-
cultural colleges is increasing from
year to year and the future must see
a very much larger proportion going
back to the farms than in the past.
The application of science to our farms
means the saving of our farms, for it
will stop the exhaustion of the soils
and win turn the tide in the other di-
rection. The farms will be smaller,
and the farm population larger. We
bave seen for many years a great
movement of the rural populations to-
wards the cities. The re-establishment
of the fertility of our farms and in
creased opportunities OF them will at
least stop the tide that has been NOV
ing towards our cities. This will be
done in a very natural manner The
profits of farming will be increased,
and thus more men will be glad to oc-
cur farms and will be able to make
a living on smaller areas.

ute prohibited the removal or deface-
