Clay Floor For paIry Cows.

Where one uses the ordinary stan
chion for fastening dairy cows, we
doubt whether the clay floor can be
improved upon, writes Edward Mont
gomery to the Epitomist. A trough
behind the cows is provided for the
excrement. On the hard, level clay
floor that reaches from stanchion to
gutter or trough, a wide plank is
placed parallel to the trough, and
close up to it, to catch what manurial
matter fails to reach the trough. This
is done as protection to the clay,
for the usefulness, perfection and
durability of a clay floor depends
upon its being kept dry. In making
the floor, the moist clay should be well
pounded in order to harden and solidi-
fy 1t, and the floor should be per-
mitted TO thoroughly dry before ii is
put to use, and kept dry. To no class
of live stock does any kind of floor
seem so acceptable as that of earth
natures floor; and if the earth is of
the right kind and treated in the
right way in making the floor, it will
usually prove the best floor of any,
and the least costly.

Extracted honey is usually worth in
market about half the price of comb
honey. That is, it sells for about half,
owing to the demand for the two arti-
cles. In extracting honey from the
bees we ordinarily get about double
the amount OF pounds of honey, but
the price being but one-half of that
of comb, it is no more profitable. 1t
has been supposed that by extracting
all the honey, which would give us
double the amount, that it would be
a paying scheme to feed it back to the
bees and have them store it in the
section boxes in the form of comb
honey. A few trials in this direction
readily proved the contrary.
Numerous tests thus made in feed
ing back extracted honey have been
attended with loss, as the number of
pounds Of comb honey produced was
less than one-thlrd, and in some cases
no honey at all was stored in the sur
plus boxes, but all consumed in the
brood chamber by the bees. In case
Of a lot of surplus boxes near COM
pletlon at the close of the honey sea
son, 1t would pay to thus feed ex-
tracted honey so as to enable the bees
to finish the boxes thus near com
pletlon, but further than this 1t Is a
loss to feed extracted honey thinking
to have 1t stored into comb honey by
the bees.
On the same principle it will not pay
to feed sugar to bees thinking to thus
produce adulterated honey. No one
can do it at a profit, and hence 1t is
not done. No one should have the
least hesitation In arriving at the con-
cluslon of the purity of comb honey,
for honey in the comb is absolute
proof Of the purity of it. Extracted
honey may be adulterated with CHEAP
glucose at profit. and In some cases
has been, but no other article of sugar
can be used at a profit for the sole
purpose of placing II on sale to com
pete with the price of pure honey
Feeding sugar to bees for the colony
own consumption when they are
scarce of stores. thus keeping them
strong in numbers and in good con
dition generally, is followed with
good profits, but. this kind OF feeding
Is qulre different.-A. III. Duff, IL

The Care of Bed Linen.

Snowy whiteness is desideratum in
sheets and pillow cases. Bed linen is
20 often improperly laundered that
word or two on the subject will not
come amiss. Bed linens should be
washed separately from the other
laundry work and no starch should be
used. If ironed while still quite damp
there will be sufficient stiffness given
to the sheets to make them appear
well, and they will certainly prove far
more comfortable to the sleeper than
IL starch were used. Do not fail TO
have the bed linen thoroughly aired
and dried before it is put away in
piles in close closet.
With fresh and dainty bed linen the
matter of making an attractive bed
becomes an easy task. 1t is remarka-
BILE how few people know how to make
bed in an attractive manner. Never
spread up" a bed. Every morning
the covers should all be removed and
the clothing hung in such a way that
fresh current of air can pass through
1t. The mattress should be turned so
tlat the air can also reach every part
of it, and before making the bed the
position of the mattress should be
changed so that the wear shall not
fall upon the same part.
One Of the first requisites for a we'll
made bed is that the sheets should be
Of ample length. Allow plenty of ma.
terial, so that the sheets may be well
tucked in at the sides and foot. There
should he at least three pairs of sheets
provided for each bed. Three pairs of
pillow cases, three bolster cases and
two white spreads for everyday use
will prevent awliwardness in case of
sickness. Care should be taken to keep
the bed in the guest room. attractively
arranged.

The Charm of Cordially.

1t isn't enough to have gone through
the world merely greeting people and

so. 1t is truly a duty that we owe to
our fellow-associats that we know
something of the art of being cordial.
Some folks are born with a knack
In this line, others never see the plain
necessity for cordiality--as 1t rests
with themselyes-and again there are
Others who early In life realize that
there is sol thing wrong In their dis
positions and Immediately set about
the correcting OF them. These are the
wise ones. The ones lacking in wis.
dom go all the days of their poor,
narrow lives, blaming the world and
the people In 1t, and declare that more
than half of what one hopes and
dreams OF doing all proves a failure,
no matter how hard one may try.
The cecdial man OF woman Is willing
to meet the world half way. That is
what the world likes. 1t Is a grim
old world--if you meet II with any
thing but a smiling face.

about the manner of the cordial won.

Hints For Hanging Pictures.

An old rule for hanging pictures was
that water-colors, blacks-and-white
and oils should not be hung in the
same room, but this rule is rarely re-
garded now. 1t is, however, inartistic
to see them arranged in the same
group, and little care will easily
avoid it. 1t has come to be pretty
well understood that pictures should
not be hung on a level, though this rule
does not mean that there should be no
symmetry or plan In the grouping
Too heavy pictures should not top
very light ones; natural sense Of pro-
portion must be regarded. With this
general idea in mind square, oblong
and oval pictures may be satisfactorily
arranged, always promising that the
pictures are worth hanging in any
event.

pIiOs Silvia Alfonso Talks EntertaininRlJ
of Her Country Women.

of Her Country Women.
Some interesting comments upon Gu
ban women were made by Miss Silvia
Alfonso of Havana, while on visit
TO New York City. Since the Amcri-
cans have entered Havana in such
numbers. she says. Cuban girls have
notlccably begun to copy many of the
ways of American women. They ware
formerly exceedingly quiet and domes-
tic in their habits. seldom seen In the
streetl, except when necessary, and
travelling little. Now they remain
less secluded, appear frequently in
public places and are beginning more
generally to travel for pleasure.
Really. they are taking quite an in
terest in sports now" continued Miss
Alfonso, "but they hardly think 1t
proper to ride bicycles yet. Some of
them tried 1t for n while but our life
is so different from yours that no lady
with marked stress on this world
likes TO be seen on n bicycle. No,
they 10 not play golf, but some of the
girls are fond of tennis, and play we'll"
Miss Alfonso laughingly secuted the
idea of the starting of any women's
clubs in Cuba for some time to come.
Public and even private schools are
practically unknown, Miss Alfonso
states. but girls of means are usually
educated in their homes by private
teachers and governesses. She was
educated herself in this way in Ha
vana. Occasionally parents send
their children to New York City or to
some foreign city to be educated.
Science and mathematics enter little
into girls education, but much at
tention is paid to the study of Ian
guages
"Oh, nearly everybody OF education
can speak English" Miss Alfonso ex-
claimed. and French rs well. We
think 1t a great accomplishment to
speak well in many languages. And
the young women do a great deal of
painting, and, of course. beautiful en-
broldery. They are always taught
singing and piano playing and all
things of that sort"
On being asked whether the women
were interested in charitable G. phil
anthropic work. she admitted that
many Of them were. A popular method
among them of raising money for
these objects is to give a ball, at
which the patrons pay liberall..
The beauty contests, such as that
in which Miss Alfonso was elected
queen, occur only once in three or four
years, being conducted by soTe Ha-
vana newspaper. Occasionally ball
is given to the newly elected queen,
and no little excitement reigns for the
time among the young girls prominent
in society, for no married woman is
eligible for votes in these contests.

permission to become a solicitor, has
had her petition denied. Lord Adam,
Lord Kinnear and Lord Pearson were
unanimous with the other learned
judges called into consultation in say
ing that they had no power to admit
the young woman to the law agents

FARM and GARDEN.


There Is much to learn in regard TO
feeding. The common practice Is to
give the hay and grain separately. Elk
periments made to test the value of
foods under different systems of feed
ing demonstrate that the best results
are obtained when the grain is ground,
the hay cut into short lengths, the
bulky food then moistened. and the
grain and hay mixed, which is done
by sprinkling the ground grain over
the hay. This mode demands more
labor, but at the present time grinding
mills and power feed cutters are
cheap enough to be within reach of
all. The mixed food it better digest
ed, is rellshed, and saving is effected
in the quantity. as the careful prepar-
alton lessons the waste.

sleeping Room. For children.

A physician gives the following hints
regarding proper sleeping rooms for
the children:
The sunniest and best room in the
house is not too good for the child.
The apartment should be ventilated
during the night as well as the day.
A sick child should never occupy an
inside room. Fresh air is n prime ne
cessity.
Gas stoves consume the air required
by the child, and are not advisable in
a sleeping room.
No sweeping should be done while
the children are in the room. If, how
ever. because of sickness, this is neces-
sary, dust the furniture and floor with
a moist cloth and use carpet sweeper
instead OF broom.
