Willing to Please

A certain lawyer here in town em- ploys a stenographer who has the most wonderful collars and the mos1 elaborate pompadour in all the busi ness world. She has personattheor of punctuation, and her spelling is marked with an engaging originality but she's so even tempered that only an absurdly carping person would take notice of such eccentricities. One day she laid before her employer a neatly typed letter to a southern cor respondent. Before signing it he glanced over it.

fore "sun up" in the morning often makes firm-grained butter without the use of ice.
 It is curious fact, and yet true, that some of the most profitable mo- ments anyone engaged in dairying can spend are in repeated washing of the hands.
 It is parody on cleanliness to try to strain filth out of milk, when it might have been obviated by the ex- erclse of the most ordinary precau- tions.
 Despite all of the laws to the con- trary, skinned cheese is yet sold for full cream" and oleomargarine for real butter. Where is the remedy?
 Those people who consider milking irlsome will never make good dairy men.
 While it pays to raise hogs in con- junction with the dairy, it never has or never will pay the manufactory to keep the swine quartered near cheese factory or creamery.
 In the writer's experience, the av-
  craze man can not milk more than ten cows with profit at one sitting. The reason is that tired muscles can not extract the milk from the udder with proper facility. Moral: Do not hug the delusion that you are econo- mixing when you throw a large amount of work onto your mill1ers.
 ic,X y1t0 fn 4o fn1I corn in the whole stalk before cows, especially if the canes are spread about the fields. The cattle will de- stroy with their hoofs at least half of the fodder so fed. It will alway pay to cut the canes up and feed them from manager.
 Now and then we run against peo- pie who can be taught nothing more in regard to dairying. These are invariably the ones who are not mak- ing more than two-thirds possible profits out of the business.
 The woman who can make good butter once a week is to be com mended, but the one who can make it uniformly good every day in the week need look no further for a profita ble vocation.
 Some consumers like butter salted more than others, and the wise pro- ducer will always consult the tastes of his customers in this regard.
 Color is only skin keep in COW; go more by the contour and size of her udder. I once knew dairyman who never purchased new COW until he himself had sat down and milked her. It is needless to add that he seldom made poor purchase.-Dr. Geo. E. Newell, in Farmers Home Journal.

Outlook For the Small Farmer.

The reassuring statements which come from nearly every quarter of the rice region of Texas concerning well irrigation, conclusively estab- fishes that abundance of water can be obtained from shallow wells, remote from streams, and that this system of irrigation will become general in the rice belt.
 This means that the individual farmer will be numerous, as it enables the man of comparatively small means to go into the rice farming and own his land.
 The big canal companies will soon have occupied all of the prairie land on the available water courses, while the shallow well proposition will re- main for any man who wants to grow rice on 50 or 100 acres anywhere in the coast country.-Rice Industry.

HERE AND THERE.

Veal calves, like lambs, usually bring fancy prices; often more than they will bring as yearlings. The time bring the best price.
 Wheat, oats, millet, corn and grass are the best egg-foods known. Millet seed. sunfiower seed, insects and table scraps are claimed by many to be good for the same purpose.
 The lean and hungry look of the best dairy cows has led the unthink- ing to assume that the dairy type can be secured by having the calf lean and hungry all the time. This is mis- take.
 -Pear-growing on the gulf coast has received another backset. News from that quarter states that blos- som-blight has done more damage to the pear orchards than did the great storm of last year.
 The estimated producton of sugar cane for the season, in percentages of full crop, is as follows: Louisi- ana, 95; Georgia and Mississippi, S5; Florida, S3; Alabama, 75; South Car olina, 73; Texas, GA,
 The estimated average yield per acre of rough rice for the season, in bushels, is as follows: Louisiana, 35.7; North Carolina, 25; South Carolina, 21.s; Georgia, 27.7; Florida, 21; Ala bama, 30.1; Mississippi, 21; Texas, 2S.
 There are millions of acres of land in the southwest, that with prop CT effort will produce 50 bushels of corn per acre. At 40 cents per bush el that is $20 per acre. The land can be bought for $20 per acre.
 Whoever controls a nation food supply controls that nation. If a man, or body of men, control the food sup ply of the world-wha; theno Why simply that farmers, if they know it, have the world by the tail, and the tail not greased, either.

A FEW DAIRY GLEANINGS.
Their Practical Application Might Add to Profits Derived From
 the Farm Cows.

It is not always the man with the biggest herd of cows who clears the most money from his dairy.
 Gilt-edged butter is more to be de- sired on the average consumers plate than any delicacy of the season.
 The reason that some farmers never extract the latent gold in dairy cows is that they persist in looking to the grain and corn fields for it.
