CARE OF DAIRY cows.

Dry Stables and Fed Well
+ An1 Regularly.

r. Whenever a cow is kept for milk there
are few things that should never be
lost sight of. To the man with few
cows and little money they are more.
important than to the rich man with
many COWS and more money. Itshould
always be the aim Of the owner to se-=
cure the largest possible amount Of
butter fat (because this is the only
true measure of the value of milky with
the minimum amount Of expense, in-.
GLIDING time, food and capital invested.
The cows should be comforta BILE,
healthy and vigorous, able to consume,
properly digest and assimilate food for
her support and large surplus for
milk. The profit in dairying. is always
measured by this surplus. Moderate
exercise, under favorable conditions,
will contribute to the desired result;
but every effort of the COW beyond that
will detract from the profit. All the
energy used in warming up ice-cold wa
ter, every moment she shivers in tho
cold wind, lessons the surplus of the
milk pail. Cold, damp, dark or dirty
stables are not comfortable; therefore,
in such quarters a COW will not do her
best.
In the exercise of my dutiesas dairy
inspector have visited every class Of
stable, from the best to the worst, those
that were dry, clean, light and we'll ven
tilated, down to those that were dark,
damp and filthy beyond description.
Hundreds of times have been met with
the statement: Il would like to keep
my COWS clean, dry and comfortable,
but cannot afford it," In these in
spections we note the kind and amount
of feed used, the cost, etc., and also the
amount of milk produced. This gives us
a reliable basis from which to deter
mine the kind of care and feed and the
character of stables that bring to the
owner the largest returns for the time,
labor and capital and brains invested.
Right here it might not be amiss to
mention that it has often seemed to me
that great deal of time, much hard,
disagreeable labor and the interest on
considerable capital were wasted.-

Attacking the Pear Blirht.

Winter is good time to attack the
pear blight. Investigations have shown
that the disease remains over in the
diseased branches, the organisms
ready to begin again their work in
the early spring. The branches that
are dead should all be cut or and
burned and any branches that have
been cast down by the wind should
also be included in the collection. In
fact, it pays to give the orchard q
thorough cleaning, either in fall or
or early spring. Burn up all rubbish.
The orchard should then be carefully
inspected to make sure that all the
infected branches nave been cut OF.
Thorough work in this matter will
make it easy to keep the trouble in
check next year.-Farmers' Review.

find nothing better than a piece OF

of this box has to come on horseback

DEMURE LITTLE KITTEN.
Many bad Things Unknown
to Her Loving Mistress.

A little girl in Brooklyn has kitten
that she and her friends of the same
age agree is the cutest in the town.
It has a frank, open countenance,
somewhat rare among cats, and Pc
culiarly striped coat of buff, shading
into darker yellow, that is the envy
of all the other cats on the Park Slope
The little mistress of the kitten, her
father and her mother and her larger
sisters, imagine that Pinkey, which i.
the name of the pet, is stay-at-home
kitten and that she is unknown outside
their own back yard.
Pinkey is dressed in baby clothes ev.
cry Saturday and holiday, and her mis-.
tress takes her out for an airing in a
diminutive doll wagon. Rinkey doesn't
take kindly to toggery, however, and
manifests disposition to kick up her
heels that is truly shocking when she
is clad in skirts. When she finds she
is securely tied into her wagon. she
squirms until she is thoroughly tired,
and then submits to whatever her mis-
tress prescribes.
Sometimes, however, she escapes in
her fine clothes, and then she scares
the wits out of superstitious people.
She got away one evening last week
while dressed to kill, and a colored
washerwoman who went out of the
house next door at dusk to take in the
family linen, tainted because of what
she saw on the back fence, and has
been raving all week about "a be.
whiskered little old woman in silks and
satins who sat bolt upright on the
fence and glared with eyes that glowed
like Goals of fire." That is not all the
trouble Pinkey made by her escapade,
however. A family of Bolts, which
lives near, is threatening to have the
scared washerwoman arrested for
bringing its name into the trouble.
About month ago Pinkey had a
dead mouse in the back yard, and was
having more fun than she ever before
had in her eventful life, making believe
the mouse was alive by tossing it in
the. air and catching it on the fly, or
hurting it along the ground, as If it
were running away. She was seen at
her sport by her little mistress. who
took the mouse away with a stick and
a dustpan and gave it to hungry old
tabby in the next yard. She said Pink
ey didn't catch the mouse herself. She
said nobody could look at her twice
and accuse her Of such an awful thing.
She thinks bad boys caught the ~crea-
ture in trap and threw it to Pinkey.
Pinkey's mistress is still very young.
When she is older she will not bank so
heavily on looks:-Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

SCIENTIFIC BOTANY.
perts In the Breeding and Mod
idcation of Plants.

Even the scientific botanist NAV
well be surprised, says Science, by
what has been accomplished in the
work of plant-breeding. That man
can bring about definite results by
the careful breeding of animals is
more or less we'll known, but that
plants may be bred with as definite
an object in view, and as successfully,
is not yet matter of common knowl-
edge. 1t was only during the latter
half of the last century that much
progress was made in plant-breeding
proper, the earlier efforts at the i'm
provement of plants having been
through the selection of seeds of the
most desirable plants for further
cultivation.
Downing, Hovey, Wilder and some
other far-seeing horticulturists Of
the earlier days continually urged the
breeding ('tcrossine") of the better
varieties of fruits in order to COM
bine the qualities and characteristics
of the kinds so treated. This advice
eventually bore fruit, and to-day the
florist plans to bring about a definite
result by securing offspring from the
union of two plants, whose form,
color, odor or other qualities he may
wish to intensity or modify.
Among fruits the grape, raspberry
and strawberry have been much mod
flied by careful breeding. The toma-
to illustrates what may be done by
the skillful breeder, as practically all
the improvement which it has under
gone is due to carefully planned n.y.
bridization, followed by as careful Sc
lection.
In like manner the cereals, maize
and wheat, have been improved in re-
cent years by the crossing of select
ed varieties.
