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.
It is a curious fact and yet true that
some of the most profitable moments
any one engaged 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-
nv to keep the swine quartered near a
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 econOmlz1ng
when you throw large amount OF
work on to your mixers.
1t is a wanton waste to throw fodder
corn in the whole stalk before cows, es-
pecially if the canes are spread about
the fields. The cattle will destroy with
their hoofs at least half of the fodder
so fed. 1t will always pay to cut the
canes up and feed them from a man
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 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.

NOW LOOK OUT!

stake care of yourself" say our friends.
1fI'll try to-" we answer. We do take little
care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
and mackintoshes, an army of people were
bowled out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. They
caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, choked by
infammations and COMPOSITIONS, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
the fight. The hour you realize that you
have cold on the chest, place Benson's
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion is fele If you think two are needed
make it two No harm if you were COW
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engagement of blood in the
organs. In this way-with ordinary eau
ton as to exposure-you will break up the
cold and avoid serious sickness. No
other applications, or any other form of
treatment, will accomplish this as certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plasters have dis
tinct and positive action and are curative to
the highest degree. Use them with the same
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma-
tism, the grip (back and chest) and all sim

keep these plasters always within reach.

There is more Catarrb in this section

years was supposed to be incurable. For

it a local disease, and prescribed local

Water For Dairy Cattle.

Water must certainly be regarded as
food, for it makes up over two-thirds
Of the body weight and must be con-
stantly ingested to keep up the normal
body, writes Dr. George T. Palmer in
Hoard's Dairyman. The water for the
cow must never come from ponds or
pools and should not be taken even
from running streams if there is any
chance that the stream may have been
contaminated by sewage. In thickly
populated country, like our middle and
western states, the chances in favor OF
contamination of country streams are
very strong. The water given cows in
a high grade dairy farm should be
from good wells and springs and should
be supplied in troughs capable of easy
cleansing. The lining Of the trough
should be of such material as to permit
thorough securing.

A Fable.


One day as the Elephant was passing
through the forest he came, upon a
Hare who had fallen into pool and
was shivering with cold, and in his
good heartedness he stopped and called
out:
'How, now, Mrs. Hare, but what is
the trouble here?'
"Alas, but I fell into the pond and
am almost dying with chillv' walled
the Hare.
"Say you so. All, but we can easily
remedy that. l will lie down beside
you, and the heat of my body will soon
make you warm and blithe again"
And the Elephant tumbled down with
a grunt and q groan and observed that
he was always cheerfully willing to put
himself out for the sake of others, es-
pecially for the weak and helpless.
After a quarter Of an hour, and not
hearing from the Hare, he rose up to
inquire if she felt better, and to his sOr-
row and CONSERVATION he discovered
that he had crushed the life out Of her
as he laid down.

FILLING THE ICEHOUSE.
Proper Method of Storing to Secure
the Best Results.


Mr.. ]. Ell. Brown in Rural New York
er explains the method he uses to store
ice. The illustration shows a cross Sec
ton of his icehouse, with boards nail
ed horizontally on the inside of the
poles.
From II to 10 inches should be left
between the ice cakes and the walls.
Locate the icehouse where good natural
drainage may be secured. Tile may be
laid, as indicated at A, to secure more
adequate drainage if needed. Cut the
cakes so as to break joints, say Is by
SO inches or 10 by 80, as conditions
may require. 1t will be impossible to
make the cakes fit together perfectly,
no matter how expert the saw manipu-
lator may be. On this account we put
in one layer: fit closely as possible,
then shave over the upper surface OK
all the cakes with carpenters adze.
The shavings Of ice are swept into the
crevices between cakes. When freezing
cold, little water is sprinkled over
the whole surface to cement the layer
solidly together.
AS each layer is completed the saw
dust should be filed in around the
sides level with the top and solidly

Ornaments ON Saddles.

In the fifth century saddles were

that prohibition was Issued by Leo l.,

should ornament them with pearls or

the Emperor Mauritius required that
the saddles should have large cover

Best Winter Food.

Probably the best winter food now
known is ensilage, corn cut when the

glazed, says DR.. G. T. Palmer in
Hoard's Dairyman. 1t possesses the
advantage Of retaining a certain
amount of freshness and moisture
throughout the entire winter.

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 a 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 a medium sized silo will average
about forty-five pounds.
For 1872 days, or half 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 ST.
lage. Corn and cowpeas are the best
combined material
Silage is as valuable in summer as in
winter.
Si1aGe 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
hoped silos, ceiling up inside the same
as the square silos, 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
experiment with our last winters milk
cows that would not dry off this sum-
mer showed that bushel of silage a
day per cow. with one pound of bran,
was a great milk promoter and was
cheap compared with the old grain
| ration.
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
instinct of the cow. the best dairymen
of today not only feed dry forage with
silage, but give hay when cows are at
pasture. We specified cornmeal and
| bran from conviction that good cow
! cannot maintain a full flow of milk If
| limited to bulky feeds. She cannot eat
sufficient roughage to supply the ma.
