Feeding Dairy Cows.

The call for good grass butter is
urgent today, and consumers actually
long for the spring season when grass
made butter makes its first appearance.
So delicate and attractive is the color
and flavor of June butter that all like
the product and hold it above that
made at any other season. Packers
and merchants store this June butter
and hold it all through the winter
season, selling it gradually at an ad-
vance over all others. If it was need
ed other evidence could be cited to
show that grass is the most natural
and best food that can be fed to the
dairy cows. Good June grass per-
forms work in the economy of nature
that no artificial methods have yet du-
plicated. Nevertheless. some dairy
tion of this that they fail to have a
decent grass pasture on their farms.
Dairying without good pasture fields
is very much like playing Hamlet
without Hamlet. 1t is impossible for
the farmer to produce the desirable
results which he may have vaguely in
view.
Grass and hay, then corn and other
succulent foods, should be the relative
order of foods which the dairyman
should keep constantly in mind. His
farming should be based upon prop
er conception of the value of these
foods, so that when he plants a crop
he knows exactly what he will get in
return for 1t. A good pasture farm is
small fortune to a dairyman, but the
science of keeping up this pasture to
its full production is worth more to
him. And yet there is no great secret
in the question. 1t is merely the ap-
plication of common sense, knowledge
and judgment in furnishing the grass
crops with the right to keep them
going. Robbing the soil and starving
the grass roots must always be follow
ed by poor grass and hay crops sooner
or later. Neglect the crop this season
and we will have to pay for it next.
Sometimes the payment comes sooner
than we expect, and again it is post
poned for some indefinite time. When
an overdraft is made upon the soil it
Is always wise to make restitution as
soon as possible. Put on an extra sup
ply of fertilizers his year. and do not
neglect it until too late. We cannot
take from the soil more than there is
In 1t. but we can cultivate crops so
that the full food supply is developed
and expanded A good deal of the
food supply of any soil is wasted. as
rule, through lack of cultivation and
proper method of utilizing it, These
secrets should be known and then used
to their utmost.-A. B. Barrett, in
American Cultivator.

A Popular Costume.

The fancy blouse with accessories
of lace and the like is essential to cor
rect formal dress and fills an impor-
tant place in the well-kept wardrobe.
The charming and stylish May Man
ton model shown in the large drawing
has the merit of stliting both the ell
tire costume and the odd bodice. AS
shown it Is of white batistc with
cream Cluny lace and black velvet
ribbon held by small jeweled buttons,
but the design lends itself to silk and
soft wool fabrics as well as to all the
dainty cottons and linens with equal
success.
The foundation is fitted lining that
closes at the centre front. On it arc
arranged the round yoke, the full I'M
der portion and the graceful bertha.
The yoke closing at the left shoulder
extends to form a narrow vest that
closes under the left front. The sleeves
are in elbow length, terminating with
flaring cuffs, but can be extended to
the hands.
TO cut this blouse for q woman of
medium size one and half yards of
material twenty -one inches wide, one
and half yards twenty y-seven inches
wide. one and quarter yards thirty
two inches wide. or one and a quarter
yards forty-f four inches wide will be
required, with three and seven-eighth
| yards of all-over lace and ten yards
of velvet ribbon to trim as illustrated
The graduated circular fioInce gains
in popularity as the season advances
and has the merit of being singularly
graceful cs well as smart. The ad-
nirablc skirt shown in the large draw
ing is shaped with five cores and fits
with perfect s-noothness over the hips
while it flares freely at the lower por-
| tion. The two founces are cut with
precision and care, and include just
| the amount of fulness required by
| fashion. The original is made of en-
broidered pongee, but all the seasons
! materials are suitable. Thin goods.

The pasture is important for poul-
try as well as for animals. During
spring and early summer, when the
fowls can secure an abundance of in
sect food, as we'll as variety of green
substances. the production of eggs is
greater than at any other season of the
year. but when drought Injuries grass
there is less opportunity for the fowls
to secure a large proportion of the re-
quired materials for egg production.
They should during the periods of
scarcity of grass be given mess at
night. which should not consist of
grain only. Meat, cut bone and cooked
potatoes thickened with bran will be
relished. To every quart of bran used
may be added two ounces of linseed
meal, which will also be relished by III
kinds Of poultry.

Hospital Patients Spanked.

A very useful adjunct to the para
phernala at the Hahnemann hospital,
Philadelphia, is known as 'the awak-
ener." This is wooden paddle about
two feet long, designed to restore
consciousness to patients who have
either taken poison or who have
lapsed into a comatose condition from
the effect of too much liquor.
This little instrument is decorated
with such legends as THE way of the
transgressor is hard" "Slumber,
sweet slumber. nit!" and similar SEN
tences purporting to be in jocular
vein "The awakener" is used upon
the soles of a patients feet. The
shoes and stockings are removed. and
then the paddle is applied with full
force. Most of the patients respond
to this treatment within 10 minutes,
but sometimes, where drugs have
been used, "the awakener" is kept
busy for an hour. or even longer

worn with Il big white ribbon bow
and narrow black velvet necktie, but
all soft plable materials are apprO-
pirate, whether wool. silk or cotton,
and the trimming can be varied in
many ways.
The foundation for the waist is
fitted lining that closes at the centre
front To it is attached the shield
and over it are arranged the smooth
back and softly full front. At the
throat is regulation stock that is un-
lined, and the open neck lis finished
with the sailor collar that is shaped
in points The lower line of lace gives
the bolero effect.
The original includes mousque-
taire upper sleeves that puff over the
elbows, but this portion can be omitted
in favor of plain ones trimmed as

or the lamb man, gets his money IN
large sums and at irregular intervals.
This tends to extravaganza in expendi-
ture. When people have lots Of money
they spend lots, and when the source
is cut off they feel it severely. The
dairyman's income is more uniform
and steady. and he governs his expen-
ditures accordingly. He is not flush at
one time and totally strapped at an
other, but has modest, uniform, con-
tinuous income. and is thereby made
prosperous.
Dairying is a safe business, and
therefore brings material prosperity
to person or a community. People
have been financially ruined by fat
instances by growing fruit or wheat.
But no one ever heard of man becom-
ing bankrupt in the dairy business.
These other businesses may Mt times
bring larger profit but there is
large element of speculation about
them. The dairy business is almost
devoid of speculation. 1t is a rather
slow. humdrum sort of business, but
1t is safe, and one can put his money
into it with the assurance of a modest
profit from year to year.
If crops fail in almost any other
kind of farming the farmer is fiat, but
even if all the dairyman's crops should
fail, If he has a good herd of cows he
can buy all his feed and still pay ex-
penses and have small profit besides
Diarying may be a little slow, but it
is sure.-Dairyman and Creamery.

why Dairymen Prosper.

One reason why the people engaged
In dairying are prosperous is because
dairying is a cash business. There is
no credit with tie old cow. You feed
her today, and tomorrow she pays you
back in cash. The dairyman does not
have to tell his hired man that he can
pay him when he sells his wheat, or
when he sells a bunch of lambs, or
when the peaches are marketed He
has the cash every week or every
month. The dairyman need not run
a bill at his grocery or anywhere else.
His business is cash business. and
he can pay as he goes. This is one Of
the basic principles of prosperity Run
up no debts, pay as you CO. 1t gets a
man into the habit of doing business
on business principles. and when he
does this he has started on the road to
prosperity.
Again, the dairy business is a con-
tinuous business. 1t brings in cash
every week in the year. The fruit man
or the wheat man. or The steer man

why Ducks Are Profitable.

One reason why the duck brings in
money is that the flesh is generally
liked for table use; in other words,
the market is sure
The duck is a good eater and gets
his living more largely than other
fowls from insects in air and water
and from the fields. So his keep is
cheaper.
This characteristic implies another
that is important: it is a hardy fowl
Once start them well and your flock
of ducks is much more likely-all Of
them-to mature than is the case with
the less hardy turkey. In profit a
duck is put ahead of either the turkey
or chicken.

A Cruel but Effective Lesson.

Nature is giving us most valuable
object lesson in the common sense of
dress and diet. And 'us" in this case
means about two-thirds of the popu-
lation of the United States.
This enormous heat ought to hasten
the of late years rather rapid pro-
gress of shedding kinds of clothing so
long worn upon the absurd theory that
New York and America had mild sum-
mers.
Also it ought to hasten the adop-
tion of summer diet of fruit and
vegetables, with nothing stronger than
water to drink. and that water chilled
only and not iced.
Nature has very crude way of
teaching her children. But she pro-
duccs rcsults.-New York World.

Bronze boots and shoes are to be

Fresh Water for swine.

Slop will not take the place of pure
water for hogs. During the warm
season swine should be literally sup
piled with fresh water and the food
should consist of weeds, grass and
vegetables rather than grain. A mess
