TIMELY DAIRY NOTES.

Don't leave the herd out in q cold
wind.
Make use of all the pumpkins. They
are one of the most valuable of the
fall feeds for the COWS.
Is the watering apparatus in work
ing order so the cows won't have to 60
to the creek in cold storm?
1t is a good sign TO see the mixer
have a thirst for milk. It is certifi-
cate of eanliness.-Farm Journal.
Fix high mark for your COWS this
winter. If they do not reach it find
out why. The fault may be your own.
The cows will appreciate all tie
sweet apples and odds and ends of
sweet corn that lie around the orchard
and garden.
Cows that are regularly brushed and
cleaned will yield more milk in pro-
portion to feed; i. e., there is grain in
the currycomb.
If you have trouble in getting all
the cream from the milk of cows that
are nearing the end of the milking
period, dilute with warm water before
straining.

A ROOSEVELT ANECDOTE.
His Part In an Encounter Happened
Some Years Ago. In the
WOOlly West.

In evidence of Roosevelt's ability to
take care of himself a story was told
the other day in the white house. The
president when not many years
younger than now was spending a
part of the early winter on ranch
in Wyoming, says a Washington cor
respondent of the New York Press.
While going from the railway station
to the ranch on foot a sudden biz
card broke out and compelled him to
turn back and make his way with the
wind and snow down the railway
track.
After travelling mile or two he
came to one of those resorts patron
lied by cow-punchers in the west.
Groceries and general merchandise
were sold, but the principal attraction
was the long bar where the liquid
goods were passed over. Roosevelt
entered quietly and took chair be-
hind the great roaring cannon stove
in one corner of the room. A typical
western bully had been holding forth
in the bar-room that evening and had
made every newcomer buy a round OF
drinks, or dance as he fred pistol
shots at their feet.
Roosevelt had laid aside his coat
and was lea ming back comfortably in
his chair when espied by the bad
man." He sized Roosevelt up, and,
noticing his glasses, accosted him.
"Well, old four eyes, what the -
do you want in here?" Roosevelt tried
to quiet the man, realizing his dis
position, but was not successful.
The bully insisted that Roosevelt buy
drink for everybody in the place or
dance a jig. Roosevelt refused to do
either, when the big westerner
stepped up, pulled his pistol, and an
nounced that only two minutes would
be allowed in which to comply with
his command. Roosevelt as he slowly
rose to his feet said:
swell, if I must I must He had
scarcely Strengthened himself out as
his words were uttered when he bent
his right arm into hook and landed
an uppercut on the tip of the vest
erner's chin, which sent him inglori-
ously to the floor, the revolver fall
ing from his hand. For the next ten
minutes Roosevelt was busy in pulling
off the other occupants of the room,
who insisted on placing their feet
rapidly and vigorously in the ribs OF
the fallen humorist.

Pretty Wedding Custom.

A pretty custom at English royal
weddings has been in vogue since the
marriage Of Queen Victoria. A sprig
Of myrtle from her bridal wreath
was planted. When the princess roy
al, the late Empress Frederick of
Germany, became bride, the little
branch had grown to be a tree, and
in turn contributed to her chaplet.
She followed her mothers example,
and when the present emperor of Ger
MANY was married his bride wore
sprigs cut from his mothers tree.
The practice was observed in the mar
rage Of the prince of Wales, and has
been adopted by all of Queen Vic
toria's children and grandchildren
who have MARKEDLY. Y. World.

CONDENSED MILK.
Great Fondness for This Prod
uct of Our Diaries.

A curious coincidence learned By the
experts of the department of agricul-
ture in tour of the orient is the fact
that while the natives of China, Japan,
the Philippines and the coast region
never have cultivated taste for but
ter and cheese, yet they have made up
this discrepancy by their fondness for
condensed milk.
A few years after the process of con-
densing milk was discovered, the ma
tives of Japan, China and the east gem
orally soon cultivated liking for it,
and to-day conde milk is more pop
ular and in greater demand in these
countries than is any other western
product. Thousands of cans are shipped
from San Francisco to the ports of
China and Japan and to Manila every
week and in supplying this trade the
United States holds the monopoly. But
in regard to butter and cheese, while
the outlook is bright, says officials of
the department, still it is hardly pos
sible for us to compete with Australia
on equal terms in supplying these COM
try lies several thousand miles near
err the market than we do. But when
it comes to Japan, American dairy
products, it is believed. will be able to
compete with Australian butter on
equal terms.
AS above stated, the natives have
cultivated little taste for butter or for
cheese, so that the sales of these prod
ucts are made mostly for the large
European and American population in
the principal seaports from Nagasaki
TO Singapore who up until very short
time ago depended entirely on Aus
tralia for their supply. Now that the
agents from the United States are in
the field, it is said that both dealers
and customers are willing to buy
American butter and cheese, and in
majority of cases, have expressed a
preference for these two products sent
there from the United States.

DURABLE TILE OUTLET.

About eur or five feet of tile should
be covered with coarse gravel to
within six or eight inches of the sur
face, so the pillow will not strike the
stone. This will let the water off
freely, yet keep the soil in good
shape. A large stone should be placed
at the end of the tile.
The outlet should also be kept
clean of roots and bars of netting so
placed that the vermin may be kept
out. If this is done and the tile prop
.erly laid, water will have easy going
and the farmer will go his way re-
joicing instead Of ''cussing' the tile
which he thought was too small

CANADA'S CAPITAL AROUSED.
Never Was There Such Excftemen
Physicians' AssOciation Try
ing to Explain.

Ottawa, Can, Nov. 25.-This city is
stirred up as never before. Some seven
years ago the local papers published
an account of a man named George
II. Kent, of 4OS Gilmour street, who
was dying of Bright's Disease and
who at the very last moment after sew
eral of our best physicians had de-
clared he couldn't live twelve hours,
was saved by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
People who know how low Mr.. Kent
was refused to believe that he was
cured permanently, and the other day
in order to clinch the matter the pa
pers published the whole case over
again and backed up their story by
sworn statements made by Mr.. Kent
in which he declares most positively
that in 1894 he was given up by the
doctors and that Dodd's Kidney Pills
and nothing else saved him, and furth-
er that since the day that Dodd's Kid
new Pills sent him back to work seven
years ago, he has not lost single min
ute from his work Che is printer in
the American Note Printing Com
pany).
Mr.. Kent is kept quite busy during
his spare hours answering inquiries
personally and by letter, but he is SO
grateful that he counts the time we'll
spent. Indeed he and his wife have
shown their gratitude to Dodd's Kid
ney Pills in a very striking way by
having their little girl, born in 1896,
christened by the name of. "Dodds."
Altogether it is the most sensational
case that has ever occurred in the his
tory of medicine in Canada and the
perfect subs tantiatio of every detail
leaves no room to doubt either the
completeness or the permanency of
the cure.
The local PLY icians have made the
case of Kent AID Dodd's Kidney Pills
the subject of discussion at several Of
the private meetings of their Associa-
ton. !,

Funeral Representatives..

Busy men have no time for attend
ing ordinary funerals, therefore it is
now become the fad to send secre-
taries and office boys to pay the final
tribute of respect to friendship. At
a recent quiet funeral in this city a
clerkly looking young man was
stopped at the door by the servant,
who dema nded his business. II am
come to attend the final obsequies,"
was the reply. Friend of the fam
ily?" inquired the lackey. 'Not per-
sonally, but I represent Messrs.
Blank & Thank, who are unable to be
here" He was admitted. Some mu-
tual acqua intances, talking about the
funeral a few days later, expressed
surprise that neither Blank nor
Thank, both intimate friends of the
deceased, was present, and were still
more surprised to learn that the
firms Office boy did the honors by
special appointment.-N. Y. Press.

Fertilization of Flowers.

Insects are necessary to the fertil-
ization of most flowers; and were it
not fo- insects, especially honey bees,
many of the crops We now have would
be wanting. There are a good many
flowers that produce pollen that has
no means of getting from flower to
flower except by the medium of in
sects. On the other hand, some plants
throw off great quantities Of pollen
without the help of the insects. Prof.
James Fletcher relates that when in
British Columbia some people came to
him and asked him to explain show
er of sulphur that had apparently fall
len during the preceding night. He
assured them that there had been no
shower of sulphur, but that what
looked like sulphur was in reality the
pollen Of pine trees.

MANAGING A DROUGHT.
Some Lessons Learned by an Iowa
Farmer During the Hot, Dry
Days of Last Summer.

The shortage in crops-especially
that of corn-the result of the extreme
drought of the past, and the ability
of the farmer to cope with it, has been
to them very severe and costly les
son, and proven that they are very
ignorant in some things. How to MAN.
age these things that we may be ready
for such another calamity has been
theme of much controversy between
myself and brother farmers, and near
ly all agree that for corn and similar
crops. surface cultivation is the only
way, and if we cultivate often enough
to keep a good mulch of dust on top,
it will bring you through any drought
that visits this country with good
paying crop. There is much fall plow-
ing being done, and with the thought
of dry season visiting us again next
year. we ask, in order to hold the most
water in store till cultivation begins in
the spring, should We pillow deeper in
the fall than in the spring. In answer
to this it has been thought that deep
blowing would be the better for
vi SSdSol, as ~ looSClS up tlS ouliu
so that it will hold all the water that
may fall upon it, and retain the moist
ure from the melting SHOWS till the
more compact ground below will have
time to take up the water and hold it
in store for the coming crops, and
where the water goes, the air goes,
and these supply the growing crops
with nourishment. Another good way
of keeping the land in good filth, as
well as to assist in retaining the moist
ure is to spread barnyard manure over
the field. Now the question arises in
our minds does manure make the land
richer, or does it put the humus' into
the soil and make it loose, light and
friab BILE, that it may bring forth abun
dant crops? In time the land becomes
hard and cloddy again and corn will
not grow, and to bring it back to
corn-growing condition again, it can
be sown to clover. To sum it all up,
it simply appears that the water and
the shading are the principal requi-
sites. for making the land productive
in any kind of a season.-John Lam
ming, in Prairie Farmer.

Selection of Seed Potatoes.

Many varieties of potatoes come and
go. and but for the continued introduce
ton of new varieties potatoes would
soon be scarce. This is due to the care
less selection of seed. All the tubersbf
a crop are sold for seed, when only the
best should be selected. If the largest
tubers from the thriftiest and strong
est plants only are retained for seed
there would be an improvement in the
ola varieties instead of deterioration
in quality. But as long as seed potatoes
bring good prices there will be good
and inferior seed used.

Hairy Ttensils in Winter

It is often difficult to keep dairy
utensils in the best possible condition
in winter, because of lack of sunshine.
On most farms vessels are washed and
scalded and then put in the sunshine
until wanted. Many winter days have
no sunshine. Utensils should there
fore be boiled thoroughly or subject
ed to live steam if this is obtainable.
At any rate. give them good scald-
ing in boiling water, and pace the m
where they are exposed to outside air.
Sunshine is the best possible disin-
fectant. Keep your dairy utensils in
the sunshine as much as possible

Doesn't Soil a White Vest.

The Lackawanna route from New York
to Buffalo and the West has been making
the announcement that one might travel
the whole length of it's road, and not soil

days running about in the city. The
value of such service to ladies is obvious.
This unique service is made possible be-
cause hard coal is used exclusively in the
passenger service. It is useless to speak of

soil is of mucky nature, the illus

around the inlet. This plan, however,
is not necessary where soil is messy.
