Tho Cnlf for Dairy Purposes.

One of the main difficulties in max
ing dairying g success is the dithcuity
of securing the best machinery, not Oh
iron or steel, but Of flesh and blood,
in other words, the best dairy COWS.
Such cows can not easily be bought
for the men who have ability to pro-
duce them know their value and their
profit. Practically, the farmer VINO
wishes a herd of choice dairy COWS
must grow them himself. While 1t IS
n difficult matter, it IS not so difacuit'
as one would imagine If he would Dut
20 at it in the right way.
The easiest way to secure this Is 10
buy heifer calves from the best dairy
herds in the neighborhood. These can
always be bought, if not pedigreed, at
reasonable prices. If farmer Will puy
q dozen calves from reasonably gooo
dairy cows, which can be found IN al
most any dairy neighborhood' and VIII
feed them properly, and when they
are Is or 1G months old mate them
properly with q sire whose dam ana
grandam have been good dairy COWS,
he will stand a chance of having half
a dozen paying dairy cows in the lot
and a progeny with dairy instincts.
What do we mean by feeding them
properly? Feed them mainly on clover
hay, corn fodder, and oats. with from
one.third to one-half as much corn as
oats during the cold weather In the
winter season. If he finds that they
get quite fat on this ration, leave the
corn out altogether. Do not aim to
make them fat, but aim to keep them
growing. When turned on grass. with
out grain, next summer, let them get
fat as they like. There is no danger OF
grass fat hurting any breeding animal.
Wher they produce their first calves,
break them to milk at once, and feed
literally. grass or no grass; feed all
they will cat OF a properly balanced
dairy ration. If any of them are dis
posed to get fat, feed and milk all
the same, but sell these to the butcher.
Keen the COWS that remain thin In
flesh on full feed and full flow of
milk. You will find on testing that they
are good mixers. The COW that when
IN rood health and on full feed fails
to get fat usually does so because she
nuts the milk in the pail, just where
Won want 1t. If our readers will test
this method they will make enough by
# TO nav for a farm paper during their
lifetime. The plan is simple and feast
bile. and thoroughly practicable.
There is no chance for any loss In 1t,
and every chance for proft.-Wallace's

Women Doctors In China.

We have heard much lately about
the European medical men in China,
but less about the European and
American medical women. A writer
in the Aligemein Zeitung gives an In
teresting account Of the number and
their work. The Societie des Mission
aries de Ia Femme. says he, employs
five European women doctors in It's
hospitals and six Chinese nurses. he
reckons the total number Of European
and American women doctors and
surgeons in China to be not less than
100. In Tientsin there are two
lady physicians from Chicago, two
from Canada and one from London.
Only one Chinese lady has studied
medical science and practice after the
western manner, and she is exceeding
ly popular and useful among her fel-
low-countrywomen.

A subject that is exciting consider

circumvolution, prominent in man, is

Poultry for Market.

Poultry intended for market, wheth-
er young or old. cannot be made TOO
far. The public wants the latest that
can be had and is willing to pay a
premium fol" that class Of fowls. Ola
hens, at this season, are usually III
good condition. but it Is not always an
easy matter to keep the growing
chickens in prime market condition.
Should the hens be thin. few days OF
confinement and a liberal feeding OF
rich foods: will suffice to put them IN
proper condition. Chickens, as a rule'
will fatten more quickly If allowed
freedom, but an extra supply of food
must be given at least three times
q day.
In either case, never send poultry 10
mark unless fat, especially SO II
dressed before being sent. When Sc
lecting for market choose only the rat
ones, and keep the others until in MT
condition. The excess in price Will
justify the additional cost aIM trouble.

The "Sinple" Tweed Suit.

Once upon a time suit Of tweed
was looked upon as severe, not to
say strong-minded costume. 1t was
voted masculine and unbecoming and
far removed from the estbetic beauty
that should distinguish all truly femi-
nine" garments. But change has
come DER the spirit Of the tailor's
dream. He turns out tweed suits in
softest hues and decorates them with
velvet and silk, waistcoats Of satin
and groups of fancy buttons. He
calls them tailor made suits a la
Franchise" His customers call them
dreams" They are costly visions.
The smart tailor's tweed costumes
are made with seams either strapped
or sewn with two or three rows Of
stitching. The skirt is arranged to
fit the hips closely, and at the back
is rather fiat, in order to admit Of
the short basque of the coat lying in
position. The seam Of the skirt Is
pressed to perfect fatness. but 1t
provides a little fulness. which throws
out the back Of the skirt in orthodox
fashion. Pretty fancy buttons are
a great feature of the tweed costume.
The coats are lined with bright,
shaded silks, which also line the skirt.
Velvet or silk collars are smart In ef-
feet, and the colors are chosen so
as to produce telling contrast. For
example, a bright corn-hower blue

King Richard in a Kitchen.

"Actors of the old school did not have
the gorgeous stage settings Of the
present." said Mr.. George Gardiner
the veteran stage manager, the other
night, as he gazed at the stage In
Ford's opera house, while in remin-
iscent mood. IT remember once we
were playing Southern towns with Ed
win Booth, and wanted to put on
Richard H. No special scenery was
carried for this, and was told to look
over the stock at the theatre to see
if there was any that could be used.
The second scene called for the en-
trance Of the king and all his couriers
into royal hall. picked out set
of scenery that I thought would do
for the palace, but cautioned the stage
hands not to get it on wrong side out.
Well, the first scene was finished and
when the stage was disclosed for the
second there was the typical old
kitchen scene, the one with hams
hanging from the rafters, q candle
stick on the mantel, and all that. I was
Mortified and asked Mr.. Booth If we
should change it by ringing down the
curtain. He said no, he would 60 on,
but he cautioned the othec players to
keep your eyes on me; don't, under
any consideration, look behind you at
the scenery
"Well, the scene went off, and af-
terward, when 1 asked some Of those
in the frcct Of the house, they made
no comment, and 1 was convinced that
in the intensity Of the acting they had
not noticed that the king was in the
kitchen, instead Of the palace. BAL.

New Use For Buttermilk Transformed
Into Ruttt,ns and Glue.

Into Buttons and Glue.
The most malignant opponent OF
trusts can scarcely take exception to
the one which in the last ten years
has developed the casein industry OF
this country into one of tie best in
yesttner1ts for both the farmer and
the manufacturer. 1t Is not so long
ago that buttermilk was such drug
on the market that it was regarded as
d food for pigs Or as waste sub
Stance to be THROWN AWAY. This has
been thanged, dnd where FORMERLY the
ddlryman obtained nothing for the liq-
uid, he now converts it into casein.
either In his own dairy or in factory
owned by the Casein Trust. Casein is
an albumenose substance, best known
to the average citizen in the form OF
cheese. 1t contains as much nitrogen
as meat, more than eggs, and much
more than fish. Its food value Is
therefore very high. Thus far this
feature has not been utilized in the
United States, all of our own casein
being used for other industries, but
vast quantities go to France and Ger
many. where they dre transformed
into artificial foods. The manufacture
is how up In the millions Of pounds,
and Is increasing annually. Some is
converted into buttons. This is done
by mixing the casein with fine clay
and other inorganic materials made
into q paste, rolled, stamped and
baked. 1t makes q light, glossy and
handsome button, and is much
stronger than the one made Of china.
ware alone. In the matter Of small
buttons and studs, it can be made iri-
descent or coiored to suit the public
fancy.
Thus far in our own land casein has
been put to low utilitarian purposes.
By chemical treatment it is changed
into very strong glue, which Is used
In making veneers. Several great
cooperages out West now make bar
rel heads Of these veneers, and save
one or two pounds Of weight, and at
the same time get q stronger and
handsomer barrel head. These We
neers are also. employed for chair
seats, car seats, sounding boards and
piano cases. A second use is as con-
stltuent of paper pulp. Casein is
snow white, and, when mixed with
wood pulp, straw pulp and similar
bodies, gives a whittier and clearer
product, and also one that is less brit
tie and more durable. This mixed
pulp is made into paper for newspa..
pers, writing papers, wall paper and
paper bags. The white boxes which
the more enterpr:sing shoe dealers and
department stores now affect are re-
suits Of this industry.
Casein mingled with lime makes q
liquid covering intermediate between
whitewash and paint, which possesses
handsome gloss, and Is very much
cheaper than the latter. The lime re
acts upon it and makes it both water
proof and, to q certain extent, fire
proof. AS q finish for fine leather
goods it is now employed in at least
fifty of the leading works of the coun-
try. 1t is particularly adapted for fine
kids, goat skins, dog skins, calf, and
sheep skins. 1t Is also used as finish
for the outside Of lead pencils, pen
holders, and other wooden wares.-New

Title for an Ambassadors Niece.

society for the first time on the arrl-
val of the Ambassador in the United
States two years ago. The presence OF

dor. The closing days of last season
were in consequence marked by many
murmurs of discomfort by the matrons
of the corps, and this caused the
virtual retirement of the beautiful
young Russian, whose presence in
Washington was said to be extremely
distasteful to the wives Of several OF
the European envoys.
The action of the Car at this time
is said to be in view of the promotion
of Count Cassini to one of the Euro

Allowances for Children.

o.
Under the age of 12 few children
receive an allowance. Whether they
should or not depends somewhat on
the child; generally speaking, an al
lowance Is desirable only after GER
tain degree Of maturity of judgment
is reached. But If it is given it should
not be the only source of income;
every child should earn at least
part of its spending-mOney, in ways
that are not too difficult.
But when the child has money, what
shall it do with it? A famous econo-
mist tells us that the three legitimate
uses of money are saving, spending
and giving. and this is q good basis
from which to study the matter. A
child's saving may mean nothing at
all to it. Simply to, fill a bank with
pennies, to see it etnptied, and hear
that the money has been transferred
to a larger bank downtown, conveys
no idea and acomplishes no good pur-
pose; there should always De uelf
mite end in view. If its savings are
small, still there is fathers birthday

and amount to quite a sum in the
course of year, do not let the child
become miserly and enjoy the p.linS

the money may be. spoken of as
