1t is not always the man with the
biggest herd of cows who clears the
most money from his dairy, says Amer
lean Cultivator.
Gilt edged butter is more to be de-
sired on the average customers plate
than any delicacy of the season.
The reason some farmers never ex-
tract the latent gold in dairy COWS is
that they persist in looking to the
grain and corn fields for it.
The dairy woman who churns before
'sun up in the morning often makes
firm grained butter without the use of
ice.
1t is curious fact and yet true that
some of the most profitable moments
any one engag ed in dairying can spend
are in repeated washing Of the hands.
1t is a parody on cleanliness to try
to strain filth out of milk when it
might have been obviated by the exer-
else of the most ordinary precautions.
Despite all of the laws to the contra
ry, skinned cheese is yet sold for full
cream and oleomargarine for real but
ter. Where is the remedy?
Those people who consider milking
irksome will never make good dairy
men.
While it pays to raise good hogs in
conjunction with the dairy, it never
has nor never will pay the manufacto-
ry to keep the swine quartered near
cheese factory or creamery.
In the writer's experience the aver
age man cannot milk more than ten
cows with profit at one sitting. The
reason is that tired muscles cannot eX-
tract the milk from the udder with
proper facility. Moral.-Do not hug the
delusion that you are economizing

1t is wanton waste to throw fodder

pecially if the canes are spread about
the fields. The cattle will destroy with

ger.
Now and then we run against people
who can be taught nothing more in re-
gard to dairying. These are invariably
the ones who are not making more
than two-thirds possible profits out of
the business.
The woman who can make good but
ter once a week is to be commended.
but the one who can make it uniformly
good every day in the week need look
no further for a profitable vocation.
Some consumers like butter sailed
more than others. and the wise pro-
Queer will always consult the tastes of
his customers in this regard.

GRAIN WEEVlLS.

The Bisu1phide of Carbon Treatment.
Frequent Sitting and Tanning.
The common species of grain insects
seem to be more than usually abundant
this fall, as shown by numerous let
tiers of inquiry received at the Kansas
experiment station. The two forms
most in evidence are the common grain
moth and the black weevil. the latter
generally more abundant. In either
case the most ready method of their de-
struction is the employment of carbon
bisulphide, one pound at least of the
LIQUID to a hundred bushels of grain or
a thousand feet Of space.
1t seems likely from the varying de-
grees of success reported with this
formula that certain essential condi-
tons are not always strictly observed.
In ordinary cribs and bins the most i'm
portant provision is to make the room
as nearly as possible gas tight in order
that the gas may remain in all parts of
the space in full strength and for the
required time. Except with highly or
ganized insects, death does not occur
Immediately, and partial suffocation
may only render the insect insensible,
leaving It It to ee9eT fully ssfe9R tie ai-
ing out of the bin; or the gradual es-
cape Of the gas through cracks in the
floor or sides of the bin, allowing the
entrance of fresh air, may cause fail
ure through the subsequent revival of
the insect. The adult grain moth readi-
ly succumbS to the gas, while the larya
will stand more and yet revive. The
black weevil is most difficult to kill.
Hence to destroy all it will be necessa-
ry to continue the action of the gas in
full strength for at least twenty-four
hours, and to do this the bin must be
made tight, the fluid carbon bisulphide
be used in liberal quantities, and in
case of doubt the experiment repeated.
Wheat may be largely kept free from
weevil by proper handling, frequent
shifting and tanning, such constituting
the chief reliance in the elevators.
Corn in cribs can scarcely be freed
from weeyil while remaining there ow-
ing to the practical impossiblity of

paulins and stack covers are useful In
assisting to retain the gas within linn
its, but are by no means tight enough
to prevent the escape of the gas by
diffusion before the black weevil can
be destroyed.
1t is suggested by correspondent
that gasoline is equally effective with
carbon bisulphide, and owing to its
cheapness it can be used in certainly
destructive quantities at little expense.
1t may be necessary to warn those who
employ either of these liquids that the
gas is highly infiammable and explo-
sive when ignited hence no fire or
light should be allowed about the bin
while the fumigation is in progress

We again wish to state, as we have
many times before in these columns,
that the poultry business is not over
done. 1t is like any other business in
that it must be properly conducted.
There is always ready market for
poultry and eggs every day in the
year, and there is demand above the
market prices for high grade stock
and eggs. We are speaking now from
the standpoint of the market poultry
man. Conditions are the same. how

HE4EEE54l E= EN- SILAGE
GsasAszSsIf ri .'s=z=sz=5=s.-z!s:ss

Twenty years experience in the use
of the silo has brought out some facts
about which all are agreed. says Farm
and Ranch:
That a larger amount of healthful
food for cattle can be preserved in the
silo in better condition, at less expense
of labor and land, than by any other
method known.
That silage comes nearer being per-
feet substitute for the succulent food
of the pasture than any other food that
can be had in winter.
Thirty pounds day is enough silage
for an average sized Jersey COW. Lar
ger cattle will eat more.
A cubic foot of silage from the mid
die of medium sized silo will average
about forty-fve pounds.
For 1872 days, or half a year, an aver
age Jersey COW will require about six
tons of silage, allowing for unavoida
BILE waste.
The circular silo made of good, hard
wood slaves is the cheapest and best.
Fifteen feet in diameter. and thirty
feet is a good depth. Such silo would
hold about 200 tons of silage cut in
half inch lengths.
Corn just passing out of roasting ear
stage is the best single material for 81
lage. Corn and cowpeas are the best
combined material
Silage is as valuable in summer as in
winter.
SiIage and Milk Promoter.
A great number of new silos were
built about here this season. and nine
out of ten of them were square silos
with the clipped corners, says John
Gould of Ohio in Hoard's Dairyman.
One or two tried the made up wooden
hooped silos, ceiling up inside the same
as the square slos. and they are pro-
nounced 1.-THE thing" A few about here
built small silos in addition for next
summer soiling to see if the bran bill
cannot be largely eliminated. Our own

Feed Dry Forage with Silage.
Irrespective of all other considera-
tons we believe it to be expedient for
the health of the animal to feed some
kind of dry forage with silage of any
kind, says Hoard's Dairyman. The
COW Graves this. and. profiting by the

of today not only feed dry forage with
silage, but give hay when cows are at
pasture. We specified cornmeal and
bran from a conviction'that good COW
cannot maintain full flow of milk If
limited to bulky feeds. She cannot eat
sufficient roughage to supply the ma
terial required for profitable milk pro-
duction; hence the necessity for sup
plying more or less concentrated feed.

How to Choose Food.

Phosphorus is found in eggs, fish,
oysters, Holsters, game, cheese and po-
tatoes, and these should be freely eaten
by the brain worker. Another element
that enters into body building is sui
phur, which is required for growth Of
hair, nails, bones and cartilage. OF this
there is so much found in eggs that sill
yer is darkened by contact with them.
Curd of milk and cheese are also rich
with sulphur. Iron is also present in
the blood and is found in most articles
of food, being most abundant in the
juice Of beef, in eggs and in milk. Lime
and salt are also needed for the body,
the lime making bone. while salt aids
digestion. Lime is found in all grains,
in wheat and in milk Nothing is more
beautiful for growing children than
bread and milk.

NEWER TYPES OF FLOWERS.


The FriIIed Begonia, Fringed Carna-
ton, Decorative Dahlia and others.
The type of the tuberous begonia to
which the specialists of few years
back set their course was a single
flower as large and as nearly round as
possible, fiat, with the edge of each
segment of the flower well and sharp
ly defined. The sharp, clean cut edge
has always been regarded as the high
est type of flower not alone in the be-
gonna, but also in others, this not SO
much because of the beauty, but be-
cause of the difficulty of obtention. As
a consequence the old time florist
using the term in its special sense as
indicating connoisseur or fancier of
flowers not allow an attribute
of artistic merit to intrude largely into
his point of view. If there was a tend
ency to fringed edge, as in the car
nation, for instance, it must be sup
pressed, and all appearance of grace
was discountenanced as a bad feature.
Thus it came to be that the very art
which brought floral excellence into a
real position became later so hedged in
with the restrictions of mathematical
conventionality that it isolated itself
into narrow fancy" the points of
which were for the initiated only to
gloat over.
But outside the narrow ranks the
florists had attracted attention The
million came and saw possibilities of
artistic merit in some of the discarded
types. Thus came the fringed carna-
ton, the japanese chrysanthemum, the
decorative dahlia and many others.
The frilled begonia is one of these
beautiful subjects which do not con-
form to the canons of the elect, while
it pleases others. AS an object of beau
ty it far surpasses the correct model
and is undoubtedly destined to become
popular. We have blooms before us
now-blooms of all the colors of the
tribe-and some, especially the semi
doubles, are fascinating. In these flow
ers the petals are notched and frilled
in an irregular manner after the style
of the carnation of the American gar,

A good cement for mending over
shoes or other rubber articles may be
made by purchasing cents worth Of
red rubber from some dealer in dem
lists supplies, cutting it into small
bits and covering it in bottle with
chloroform. In about ten minutes the
rubber will be dissolved. 1t should be
applied with a brush as rapidly as pos
sible. The bottle must not be left I'M

MASSAGING THE FACE.
How to Proceed In This Wrinkle De-
stroying Process.

How to Proceed In This Wrinkle De-
stroying Process.
To give massage properly requires
good deal of practice and thorough
knowledge of the anatomy Of the face.
1t is mistake to put any cream that
happens to be handy on your face and
to work with your fingers in every spot
but the right one, using every move
ment but the correct one. You should
go to work in as scientific a manner as
you can, for three movements given
correctly will do more good than doz-
en- careless strokes.
First get chart, one on which the
muscles of the face are shown and dia-
grammed plainly. You can easily see
what is the trouble when you look at
the chart, for your muscles are relaxed,
and when you have located the little
muscles that are so tender and numer-
GUS near the corner of the eye, for this
is the sun wrinkle, sit down, dip your
fingers lightly into good cream and
then, placing the hand in a position SO
that the wrist points upward and the
fingers toward the nose, describe little
circles upward and outward on the
muscles, which you will be able to To-
cate by feeling your face and looking
at the chart.
Never massage toward the center Of
the face and never downward, for the
skin is like piece of silk, and if it is
folded the wrong way rumple will be
the result.
Always remember to wash the face
in warm water before massaging it, for
if you don't and there is the least bit Of
dust on it you will rub the dust into
the pores, and the result will be little
blackheads. This is not possible if the
hands and face are first washed and n
pure cream which has been kept in g
covered jar is used.
Allow the cream to stay on the face
all night and wash away with warm
water and good soap in the morning.

The amount of grain fed should vary
with the individuality of the cows, says
Professor D. Fl. Otis. A COW giving
thirty-fiye to forty pounds of milk daily
will need from twelve to fifteen pounds
per day, while a COW giving fifteen to
twenty pounds Of milk will probably
not need over six to eight pounds of
grain. The amount of grain should
vary with the yield of milk. Give the
cows all the grain they will consume at
q profit.

per acre Of potatoes is 800 bushels
against an average yield per acre of

1899 and a ten year average of 7S.7
bushels. The present indicated yield
per acre is the lowest since $780, OF

Maine alone report a yield comparing
favorably with their ten year aver
ages.

In the butter dairy what is wanted
is as little water in the milk and just
as much butter fat as possible, and,
all things considered, small COW will
answer this purpose as well as large
one. But when the milk is to be sold,
especially by the gallon. the quantity
is of more Importance than the quality,
and usually rather large cow will be
found more desirable when milk is the
object to be gained.

How many dairymen can tell how

much it costs to make a pound of but

men know to nicely. A scale, Bah
