RICHARD HEALY,

( of saloons on Sunday in Boston or any
other city. The fact is that there is a
very. great temperance sentiment in the
state: two of its most eminent repre-
| sentatives being the governor anc
lieutenant governor. These men rep
resent the feeling that while perhaps
the local option law now contained in
chapter 100 is as far as we can go in
the direction of prohibition at present
it is prohibitory in places voting no
license-it would not only be against
the public interests but very poor poll
ties indeed to literalize them in any
way. The Senate reflected this senti-
ment in defeating the semicolon bill
last year. If that could not pass. GER
tainly a Sunday opening bill could not.
Every now and then somebody raises
the question of where the coming men
in Massachusetts politics are. They
are never difficult to find in the Demo-
cratic party. Young Congressman
Conry will naturally be the P. A. Col
Inns of future years, unless he trips up
in getting there. Quincy CASTOR, Mat
thews and Hamlin arrived long ago,
but their departure from state politics
will be long delayed. The average Re-
publican VINO comes to the front does
so through the Legislature, and men
like Gov. Crane, who secure their re
putations in the business world and
then begin their political careers near
" at the top round of the ladder, are
few Then a successful lawyer, like
Herbert Parker, comes forward, and
and from the moment he gets there
talk of future honors begins, as it has
in his case. Another man who steps
TO the front from private life in two
weeks will be Hon. David l. Robinson
of Gloucester. our only new councillor.
Governors rarely have a more COM
petent constitutional adviser than Mr..
Robinson will prove to be, and though
il is not usually thought that the coun-
ell is d very good place from which to
graduate into higher office, the expert
ences of Thomas Talbot William
Clafin and Elijah A. Morse show that
this is not impossible.
But the Legislature is the place to
look for coming men, and in the pres
ent elected body there are several who
are going to count heavy one of these
days. Speaker Myers is not likely to
close his career with the coming year,
as he lays down his gavel for good. A
half dozen men have their eyes on
the speakers chair for 1908, and no one
of them intends to stop there Men like
Senator Jones of MelTose: his fellow
townsman. Representative Adams /;
Representative Schofeld of Maiden,

GOOD AND BAD MIXERS.
Why Dairymen Should Make Occa.
siOnal Tests of the Milk from
All Their Cows.

At milking trial held in connection
in England the cow which was awarded
the first prize produced over six gal
Ions of milk in the day, and her milk
was so rich in quality that it produced
over four pounds of butter. At the
same show there were on exhibition
other cows of the same breed and
practically the same size and weight
which produced only two to three gal
Ions of milk and barely one pound of
butter. 1t would be mistake to sup
pose that the feeding of one of the
last-named would cost as much as the
six-gallon COW, because, as a rule, the
better mixer cow is the more food
win she consume 1t IS only natural
that a cow yielding six gallons of
milk should require much more lib
eral food ration than one producing
less than half that quantity. The diff
ference in the cost of feeding the cows
In question would not, however, be
anything like so marked as their rela-
tive llilk yields would suggest. In
practice it is found that cows pro.
ducing only ~ gallons to two gallons
that is, six to eight quarts-per day
cost as much to keep as those yielding
double that quantity. 1t is only when
calculations of this kind are gone into
that the difference between good and
bad mixers can be properly estimated.
At least occasional tests should be
made. of the milk which all the cows in
the herd are producing, and similar
test should be made of the food which
they are consuming, and if it is found,
as it is to be feared will be only too
frequently the case, that the animals
are not giving sufficient return for
the cost, of the food which they are
disposing of, they should be got rid of
at the first opportunity and their
places filled by others capable of Civ
ing better return for the food

CORNER OF THE SILO.

close an illustration from the Wis
consin bulletin that exactly indicates
the framework of my silo, except
that my silo is 80 feet high and that
the girts are closer than here indi-
Gated. The corner pieces or segments
are not properly indicated in the cut,
so 1 have drawn another sketch that
more clearly indicates them. In Fig.
YOU will see that 1 have the corner
well rounded. From the inside of the
corner (A) to the face of the segment
OBJ is ~ inches, and we have no trouble
in going around this corner with or
binary tongued and grooved flooring.
We lined this framework with yellow
pine flooring and gave it coat of hot
coal tar every year; one dollars worth
of tar and one dollars worth of labor
are ample for this work. 1t is air-tight
and preserves the silage perfectly, and
/ believe if the tarring is not neglected
the lining will last indefinitely. Some
advocate a brick lining, but do not
think this practical, for the crevices
would let in the air and the outside
woodwork could not we'll be made air.
tight. While in wood-lined silo,
tongued and grooved, the moisture of
the silage will at once swell it into an
air-tight condition, and when the tar
ring is well done the drying out is re-
duced to the minimum and the wood
protected against decay.
The next pit 1 will build will be of
the same construction, but larger. I
believe it is practical to build them
firm enough and strong enough
against any bullying, up to 16 feet

FRAME FOR SILO.

range from IL to 16 feet, according to
the amount of stock fed from the
silo. / do not think it advisable or
practical to build silo smaller than
IL feet square or IL feet in diameter.
And rather than go above 16 or 10
feet in diameter i advise increasing
the capacity by building more silos.
The craze just now is for the round
stave silos, but 1 think the average
farmer who expects to build silo
would better build square frame
with rounded corners, for the follow
ing reasons:
A square. wood silo with ribs or
girts around it horizontally, lined up
and down inside and weatherboarded
outside, whether built in a barn or
outside, whether tied to another
building or standing alone, will al
ways be firm and rigid, and will not
suffer from the drying-out process
that occurs during the hot weather,
when the siio is empty. And this, L
think, is strong point in favor of
the frame silo. 1 have learned of
round silos that went to wreck, like
an old barrel, in the dry weather. In
the Wisconsin bulletin, No. 83 the
writer says he visited number of
stave silos that were badly damaged
and wrecked in this drying-out proc
ess end by the wind. In my judg-
ment this wrecking process would
be worse in silo where the slaves
had been spliced, for they must be
made weaker in splicing the slaves.

Accounting for Small Feet

English writer's hate to admit that
American women have smaller feet
and are more smartly shod than the
cousins across the water; witness the
following attempt at explanations:
Il heard "a capital story about
American women and their boots a
day or two ago. It appears that they
are very anxious that people should
fancy that they have small feet.
and that they do not like to put their
shoes outside their doors at hotels.
for fear that their neighbors passing
along the corridor should make re.
marks on the size of their footgear.
$50 they keep pair of shoes several
sizes too small for them, and, after
carefully putting few specs of mud
or little dust on them, leave them
outside the door for the other women
to envy their small size. The shoes
which they have been wearing they
clean themselves, and never trust to
the hotel porter.
I'm this way they humor their feet
and their vanity at the same time, and
ali parties are, or should be, satisfied.
It is an ingenious idea, and that is how
it is done" .Boston Globe.

WATER AFFECTS MILK.
Cows Drink from q Stagnant
Pool Commits q Crime.

We hear some things that we find
hard to believe in the way of the treat
ment of dairy cows. One of these
things is that there are here and there
pastures in which the only watering
place is stagnant pond full of in
sects and Shiny grasses. 1t is won
der that cows can drink such stuff and
still remain healthy, but it is certain
that they take chances on acquiring
some one of the water-borne diseases
common to stock. No human being
should be asked to drink milk made
out of such water, even after it has
been strained through the cow. 1t is
claimed that other owners are known
to water their cows out of rain water
barrels. Well, that is only slight
improvement over the stagnant pond
method. The water in the rain water
barrel soon takes on a smell that is
disagreeable to man and beast. Why
can't our cows have at least pure
water to drink? Water, pure and
sparkling, enters very largely into the
life of every being. Let us be sure
that the milk we drink is made from
water and food absolutely pure

POINTS IN PHYSIOGNOMY.
Facial Features Which Indicate Ger.
tain Traits and Charac-
teristics.

The science of phrenology is little
heard of nowadays, although it num-
bers many disciples. It's sister science,
physiognomy, rests on firmer basis,
since 1T is rarely that some trait of
character is not depicted on the feat
ures, says Golden Days.
Even people who make no pretense
to knowledge of the rules will say:
''He has an honest face" or 'He looks
like cruel man." showing that the
features must be, in measure, the
index of the mind.
Without attempting to lay down the
rules, here are few points which
anyone may submit to a practical
test:
Memory of Events.-This is shown by
wide, full forehead in the center.
Reasoning Power.-A high, long and
we'll defined nose and broad face ex-
hibits this great faculty.
Moral Courage.-This faculty mani

and eyes set directly in front.
Language.-This faculty is exhibited
in many parts of the face, particularly
by large mouth and large, full eyes,
opened wide.
Self-Esteem.-This faculty shows it.
self in long or deep upper Lip. Large
self-esteem gives one dignity, self
control and perfect independence.
Firmness.-The presence of this fac
ulty, when very large, is indicated by
a long, broad chin. Firmness is syn
onymous with willfulness, persever-
ance and stability.
Perception of Characteristics is in
dicated by long, high nose at the low
er end or tip. This faculty is very use
full, if not Indispensable, to a judge
in the exercise of the functions of his
office.
Powers of Observation.-The situa-
ton of this faculty is in the face, just
above the top of the nose, filing out
the forehead to level with the parts
on each side of the nose. It is faculty
which enables one to concentrate the
mind upon the subject being dis
cussed.
Conscientiousness.-This is shown in
the face by square jaw, or bony
chin, prominent cheek bones and gen
eral squareness of the features of the
entire face. To be conscientious means
that one has sense of justice, honesty

Neufchatel Cheese Making.

Neufchatel is soft, white, and, as
generally eaten, entirely uncured
cheese, resembling in name only the
celebrated Neufchatel cheese of Switz-
erland. Very briefly and exactly we
may define it as unskimmed milk, coag-
ulated with rennet, allowed to stand
until sour, the surplus whey removed
by drainage and pressure, after which
the resulting curd is sailed to taste and
nodded into the familiar little cylin-
ders of the stores. This is an out
line of the process, but the questions
of ripeness of milk, amount of rennet,
length of time it stands before drain
ing and the pressure to be applied are
not easily explained on paper, and they
constitute the art of Neufchatel maxi
ing.
