top have a screen, covered by hinged
doors, and at the top have small
screened ventilator. The doors at
the base can be raised on the side
whence the wind is blowing. This
method will give the current of air
so necessary to milk. On the in
terror, little to one side of the CEN
ter have a central revolving beam on
which have some shelves of the old
fashioned kind. Now on the side
where little standing room was
left, have a shelf for the cream jar,
and also a large one on which to
set the pan in which to strain the
milk. With this arrangement it one
buys of the milkman, he can come
in sunshine or in the mud and s1ush
of winter without entering the house,
and deposit the milk in the ready
pans on the shelf. Moreover, it is the
handiest thing in the world for the
inmates of the house. They have ac-
cess to it by the inside door.-L. D.

PASSING OF THE FiRESlDE

The kettle never SINNERS on the hearth

We have given up the sacred freside;
The kitten never sleeps before the oack

And the spinning wheel has stopped

But the poet, in his fancy, sees the Fam
lily circle yet,
And blithely sings the glory Of his
dream.
While the artist takes his pencil and u

That the fireside has given way to
steam.

And the artist never turns
With his brush to such concerns;
They have spoiled the family circle OF

Still, the preacher gravely breaches OF

Forgetting that long since 1t ceased to
Forgetting that the people he is preach

Where janitors are lords OF all tney
All, the f1reside is only blind mantel

The logs that used to crackle blaze no
more:
No more fantastic shadows over old rag
carpets fall.
The hearthstone's but a grating in the
floor
1ne good old ways are ended and the
charm of them has fled.

Stay!-thats but the steam pipe thump-

We have given up the old poetic ways.
Oh, a fancy screen is standing as an

The walled and plastered place that was

The wind is bowling "Woo-o-o-o!'
But no flames leap up the flue.
And the hearthstone's just grating In

HANDY MILK CABINET.
A Little; Convenience Which IL sure
to Pay for Itself Within - Il
Short Space Of Time. y

When milk is kept in a cellar there
is much time taken in running up
and down stairs. I have found that
at some seasons cream kept in cell
lar is very difficult to churn, neith-
er is the butter good when it does
come. So 1 think milk receptacle
upstairs would be far better. Around
almost any farm will be some good
lumber, or perhaps there might be
some unused outbuilding that will
answer the purpose. Whatever be
the style, shape or size. construct
the cabinet against the house, leav-
ing a door at the junction. From the
outside have another door leading
into the milk house. All around the

geometric terms. The letter she
wrote raised blister," as Herman
afterward confessed.
"What is guardian angler" she
inquired, sweetly. 1--WE searched my
geometry from cover to cover, and
asked all the girls, and thought of all
the angles I've ever heard about
right, acute and the rest-and there
isn't one 1 could possibly be unless
it's the one they call obtuse. Do
write and tell me what it's like, and
where l can find it. Guardian angle!
It sounds terribly learned, and yet
poetical, too. Do they teach about
it in trigonometry?
II quite expected that you would
be superseded again, and now that
you have the leisure, I am not going
to do anything that will interfere
with your learning how to spell.
This is the last letter you will get
from me till you have mastered the
art. At Christmas, if you wish, will
examine you from the spellcr lent
you, and also from those lists Of
words. If you pass the examination
we will resume our correspondence,
and if you don't we will not. I am
quite in earnest. From this judg.
ment there is no appeal.
"Witness my hand! Your cousin,
Janet"
Herman must have known that
when Janet wrote like that there was
no appeal, and he made none, but got
to work.
As for Janet, she was in the dark
as to the movements of her cousin,
and not little frightened at what
she had done, until she heard that he
had refused a third position. She
took that as healthy sign. Her
knowledge of him told her that the
next one he accepted he would be
prepared to keep-and he was.
At Christmas time the whole fam
lily assembled to hear the spelling
lesson. She gave Herman SEQ words,
and he spelled them with certainty
and independence which showed that
he had mastered something else be-
sides photography. Four hundred and
ninety-nine were right-it was a rec
| ord to wonder at. But when she gave
him "angel," he smiled in his old ex-
asperating way, and spelled it

Exports of Cheese Small.

The quantity of cheese exported
from the United States in 1901
showed a decrease as compared with
like exports in 1870, of over 80 per
cent; the quantity exported from
Canada, on the other hand, showed
the remarkable increase, as compared
with 1870, of over 5000 per cent.
Moreover, the conditions of the ex-
port trade in this product in the
United States in late years show lit
tie indications of improvement, the
exports in 1901 having reached low
er point, excepting those of 1896 and
1899, than at any like period in 80
years. =.

No Money in Poor Cows.

The poor farmer sticks to the poor
COW and imagines that he is making
money out of her. Fortunately for
that kind of cow, the said kind of
farmer has a strong imagination-one
that does not have to have facts to build
upon. If the farmer got to demanding
proofs of the value of his poor cow,
it would be the end of the COW. It is a
pity that more farmers are not of a
judicial turn of mind. If about half of
the cows of the country were turned
into COW beef it would be better for
the farmers.-Farmers' Review.

WATERING MILK cows.
Kept Construction Of Water
System II Advisable.

We sometimes water our cows in the
stables, and find it great gain over
turning them out to drink at the
spring. We never allow our milch
cows to drink out of brook, as it is
unreasonable to expect cow to do her
best if compelled to gorge herself
with ice cold water. In the fall and
early winter, when we have only few
of our cows calved, we always like to
take the chill off the water they drink
and give it to them in the stable; we
notice a very marked improvement
over turning them out. Of course,
where there is a large herd it would
not pay to water them in the stable
without one had the water right in the
barn. We water twice day, and it is
surprising how much they will drink,
especially if some feed flour is stirred
in it. A COW has no filter in her, and if
the water is impure all the impurities
will 60 to the milk. Some of our "big"
farmers may cry 'egotist" when they
see this, but I am in fair position to
know, as for the last two months I
have weighed every pound of feed our
cows consumed. Also in the stable the
milk of each cow was weighed sepa-
rately and record kept. From this
we could plainly Sc that the day the
cows were turned out to drink, if let
for any length of time, there was al
ways shrinkage in the milking. If
the change was noticeable in our
mild December weather, what must
it be when the mercury is lowering
about the cipher!
Where there is a winter dairy of
eight or ten cows it would pay to have
a good water system, so as to water
our cows in the stable in cold weather.
Also induce them to drink as much as
possible, for when we consider that
milk contains over so per cent. of wa
ter, it is evident that our cows should
have lots of good, pure water.-D. r.
Nicholson, in Maritime Farmer.

How Janet Taught
Him Spelling
BY L. N. BURNS.

TERMAN always went first to his
cousin Janet. He was buoyant
youth, whose woes and joys were
much alike, but Janet was serious
minded. She did his worrying for him
This time he found her packing her
books. Vacation was almost over.
"Well?" she said. She liked to talk
to Herman, but not when there was
an unfinished task in hand. That was
the difference between the two--she
focused her energies upon one thing,
accomplished it, and was happy; he
diffused his over dozen, accomplished
nothing, and was happy also. "Well,
what is it?" she demanded.
"I'm superseded" he confessed, dole
fully
what? O Herman-discharge
Herman made gesture. "Ah, Janet,
you have such IA direct manner OF
speech! Why, even Mr.. Steinmetz
didn't use that word! Mine young
frent,' he says, you will pc prite
young gentleman when you learn pet
ter how to spell, but yoost now, you
make us reediklus.' And he showed
me letter he'd got from firm he'd
been complaining to about lot of
damaged goods. They'd got tired, I
guess, and written with good deal
more humor than Mr.. SteinmetZ could
appreciate-he's not witty man-all
because I spelled shipment Ship
meant and "a dozen white collars
a dozen white c-o-l-o-r-s.'"
20 Herman!" groaned Janet.
Herman laughed. "You taught me
how to spell meant yourself" he ar
gued. "You ought to take it as COM
pliment that applied the lesson"
"And "a dozen white colors!'" she
sighed, despairingly. "Why don't you
learn? I'll do anything to help you!
You never can make success while
you spell like that. Oh, know-but
it isn't enough to be the fastest type
writer in town-it's accuracy they
want, thousand times more than
speed! You must learn, Herman! I'll
send you lists of words from your let
ters, and lend you my old speller. Will
you study it, Hermann"
Herman's eyes were twinkling as he
took the book. II will, faithfully, re-
ligiously, as I would my catechism," he
said, with a laugh. 1T shall be my
: proud duty to report to you every
week my progress"
Janet's eyes dropped in disappoint-
ment. "No need" she murmured. "If
+ you learn to spell, your letters will
show it,"
Herman smiled. "I'll be on hand
at train-time tomorrow with-a box
#of chocolates?"

decidedly.
