'"rake care Of yourself, . say our friends.
III try to-" we answer. We do take little
care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
and mackintoshes, an army of people were
BOWED 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
lnfianmations 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 a Benson's
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion is felt. II 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
liar ailments. Women, who are chief suffer-
ers from cold weather complaints, should
keep these plasters always within reach.

The
NEW MAN
Doctrine

If there be new woman doctrine,
there is certainly beginning to appear
O new man idea to match it.
A California woman's husband beat
her, drove her and the children from
home and refused to support them, SO
that she had to go out washing to do
so. She applied for divorce on all three
grounds. She got it on the charge
that her husband had beaten her and
driven her out of the house, but not on
the complaint that he would not make
a living for her. Judge Waldo NJ.
York-Iet us hail him pioneer cham
pion of the new man!-gave this deci-
sion and said: 81 believe the women
should bear some of the responsibility
of the support of the family upon their
shoulders" So the wife got her divorce,
but had to continue to go a-washing.
This new doctrine emanates from
the rose empowered town of Los An
geles. Judge Morrow of the same city
agrees with it and says further, '"The
better man should take the lead in
marriage, as in everything else, and
the usual notion that man is the bread
winner is often contradicted by facts"
Finally, to clinch matters, United
States Attorney Marshall Woodwork
of the Los Angeles district, being in
terviewed on the question, said, 1T
would seem that if the wife is entitled
to sue for maintenance the husband
should be entitled to the same right"
1t would seem," therefore, to use the
English of District Attorney Woodwork,
that there is both state and federal
authority for the doctrine of the new
man. "It would seem" also that this
authoritative enunciation of wife's
equal right to support the family would
be precisely what the new woman
wants and that it would please her
through and through. One is surprised,
however, to find it the other way.
One lady tackles the decision in a
newspaper and quotes the old common
law that the husband owes the wife
support and she owes him service. If
the husband is to be released from sup
porting the wife, argues this logical
lady, is not she on her part to be releas-
ed from serving him performing, let us
say, such duties as backing the hus-
bands boots, which thousands of Brit
ish wives do to this day? Or maybe,
continues the logical lady, instead Of
freeing the wife from service, the doc
trine of the new man will also impose
on the husband the duty of rendering
service to the wife.
In that case perhaps we are to think
Of the husband as backing the wife's
boots, as cooking the corned beef and
cabbage for dinner and tending the ba-
bies while she over the washboard
earns the family living.
The logical lady takes view Of the
result Of the new doctrine which is de
pressing or otherwise according as one
considers the continuance and increase
of the race on this planet as good
thing. She remarks, "These opinions
are likelyto still further discourage Wo-

men from matrimony." For myself, l
have not observed that women are yet
being discouraged from matrimony, at
least in my neighborhood, though they
may be farther on. But from my OBJ
servations of the masculine sex be-
lieve this new man doctrine will be-
come popular among men.
Any man will think he can afford to
marry if the law decides his wife shall
take care of him. So soon as the
knowledge of the California decisions
becomes general throughout the Union
men will no doubt marry early and of.
ten. | look to see regular rush of
weddings-at first, that is. Women
who have long sighed for soulmates
will find them on every hand. Then
will come the reaction. "Gittin mar
ried is as easy as pie" said a pretty
mulatto serving woman, "but gittin'
out of it-oh, myw Girls will find that
hustling for themselves and man as
we'll, even a soulmate man. is not all
their fancy painted it. Wives who
must not only mother children, but also
maintain them, will stand on every
hand as an awful example. The young
woman contemplating matrimony will
be obliged more than ever to see to it
that she is first able to support bus
band. Final result of the California
new man doctrine - more old maids
than ever, SUSAN PEPPER.

BEFORE TRIMMING. AFTER TRIMMING.
one-half to two-thirds of the new
growth is clipped off. our endeavor be-

balanced tree.
OF course considerable judgment is
necessary in this heading back process
if one wishes a shapely orchard. Some
limbs must come out entirely; some
must be cut far more than others, ac-
cording to the nature of each individ-
ual tree In fact, the tree primer or
the physician who treats all patients
exactly alike or according to any form
al set system of laws is the very man
to avoid in the orchard or in the sick
room. General principles are all right
as basis, but each individual, be it
| tree or person, needs treating accord
! ing to circumstances. What is good
for one may not be good for another.
These photographs are not intended
as the model upon which all orchardists
should pattern, but rather as a sugges-
ton of general underlying principle,
as that principle appears to us. We
usually do this pruning in the spring,
any time before growth starts.
We also give the trees a good dose
of "spring medicine regularly every
year. so that they may make sufficient
new growth to give us a pruning job
the following season. This medicine
consists of several forkfuls of good
stable manure, applied externally
around each tree just previous to plow-

able trees and constant supply of
material upon which to exercise the

Paying a Creditor.

Like many another famous man both
before his time and since, Talleyrand
exhibited, at least in early life, great
reluctance to settling with his credit
ors. When he was appointed bishop of
Autun by Louis XVI, he considered a
fine new coach to be necessary to the
proper maintenance of the dignity of
that Office Accordingly a coach was
ordered and delivered, but not paid for.
Some time after, as the newly appoint
ed bishop was about to enter his coach,
he noticed strange man standing near
who bowed continually until the coach
was driven away. This occurred for
several days until at length Talley-
rand, addressing the stranger, said:
"Well, my good man, who are you?"
81 am your coachmaker, my lord, -
replied the stranger.
"Ah," said Talleyrand, .syou are my
coachmaker! And what do you want,
my coachmaker?"
Il want to be paid, my lord"
"Ah, you are my coachmaker, and
you want to be paid? You shall be
paid, my coachmaker."
'sBut when, my lord?'
Hum" said Talleyrand, settling
himself comfortably among the cush-
ions of his new coach and eying his
coachmaker severely, "you are very

Feeding Green Cut Bone.

1 think the most satisfactory way to
feed green cut bone is to give it two
or three times week, giving the hens
all they will eat when not very hungry.
Feed it at noon after a light feed Of
grain or about the middle of the after
noon. Many manufacturers advise
feeding an ounce per hen per day, but
I never had hens fed a good strong
grain ration that would eat that much
cut bone. In regular good feeding
green bone or meat in some form
should be a part of the ration at least
every other day. Whether more or
less other food is required will depend
on the remainder of the ration and the
condition Of the flock. A flock which
gets bone or meat regularly every two
or three days will eat less grain as a
rule on the days when it gets animal
food, but will probably eat more grain,
on the whole, than if it had no animal
food. This is because ration def
cient in animal food, or deficient in
any respect, is less appetizing and be-
cause the appetite in general fails
when the system lacks something it
needs and the lack is long continued

onion culture this season because Of
high prices Professor w. ]. Green of
the state station gives 9 few hints in
the Ohio Farmer which shissexperience
leads him to think will be useful.
Space does not permit the reproduction
of all his advice, but as to soil the pro-
fessor says:
! The onion plant does lot possess the
power of many other plants of forag-
ing for food. 1t must have an abundant
food supply near at hand. Whether the
soil is clay, sand or muck does not mat
ter, provided the food supply is suffi-
cient. For ease of culture, however,
muck stands first, sand second and
clay third; hence the first named is usu-
ally chosen. A soil that endures drought
is of course desirable, but this de-
ponds largely upon location, with ref
erence to the underlying strata. The
quantity of vegetable fiber or humus
present in the soil has marked effect
also.
Those who cultivate onions on muck
land are apt to think that upland is not
suitable, but little patches of good on
ion ground can be found upon nearly
every farm. Muck, however, is ready
| for onions as soon as it is brought I'M
der cultivation. 1t may need drainage
| to lower the water table, and the nat
ural surface vegetation must be thor
oughly subdued, but manure is sell
dom needed, and as a rule concentrated
fertilizers will not do much good at
| first Sometimes lime is useful to cor
rect acidity and hasten decomposition,
and a few years later wood ashes, bone
meal and superphosphate may be help
full.
On the other hand, upland soil needs
special preparation before it is suita-
BILE for onions. An old garden spot may
answer very well to begin with, but in
any case there must be Il heavy dress
| ing of stable manure each season. On
land that has been heavily MANFRED
| in previous years one can begin opera
ton in the spring by early blowing and
| top dressing with as much fine manure
as can be worked into the soil, but new
land ought to have very heavy coat
ing of manure plowed under in the
spring and worked one season in some
other crop.
In the fall it should be MANFRED
heavily again and the manure plowed
under. The next spring top dress with
fine manure and work the soil with Gull
tivator and harrow, but do not plow.
BY the addition of fifty loads of good
manure each season and half ton Of
high grade commercial fertilizer one
, ought to be able to harvest from 500 to
1000 bushels Of onions per acre, which
| is about the same as can be done on
muck. OF course muck is preferable
to upland because of greater ease in
working and because less fertilizers
are required.

The American Fancier goes after
some specimens of modern poultry
journalism" for putting the stock Of
their big advertisers regardless of quail
ity and says, at is even worse than
the miserable system that enables
breeders to sell birds on the fictitious
and inflated value of a score card"
When disqualified Cochin can win a
premium under the comparison system,
it seems to the writer that 'sthe pot
should not call the kettle black" In
f1ated and fictitious score cards, if there
are any such, are due to dishonest or
incompetent judges and not to the sys-
tenn, as the American Fancier very
well knows, but for reasons known
only to itself it prefers to charge it up
to "the system" The score card sys-
tenn cannot be thrown down by misrep-
resentation and abuse, and that is
about all that has been urged against
it'll. F. Ballard in Fanciers' Gazette.

Theory and Practice.

Professor Leroy Anderson, instructor
in dairy husbandry at Berkeley uni
versity, California, spent about ten
days, Jan. l to 10, about Los Angeles,
remaining at dairies and creameries
giving practical instruction in this
great and growing work. Professor
Anderson is very popular with diary
men of this section, and his services
are much sought after. There is a state
appropriation for carrying on this
work.
One of the weak points in connection
with station work is the tendency for
the eXperimenters to become theoret-
ical dairymen rather than practical
workers, says Hoard's Dairyman. 1t is
easy to consider dairy subjects from
the standpoint Of the test tube and a
clean milk supply, and the results
worked out from such conditions fire.
quently fail when applied to actual
dairy conditions. A getting out of the
workers, as in the above case of Pro-
fessor Anderson, would add much to
the value of the station work.

To cure a hard mixer cOnfine the

the teat bistoury into the teat, then cut
the small opening in four opposite di-
rections. This will make free open

Infamed Udder.
When an udder becomes swollen and
infiamed because of a bruise orr other
injury, poultice the swollen parts with
hot linseed, we'll ground, twice daily.
When it has gathered enough so you
think it is ready to break, make free
incision, allowing all the pus to come
out. Wash the parts twice daily with
CASTLE soap and warm water, and keep
on with poultice until parts are reduc-
ed to their natural size. A full dose of
physic is advisable.
Ringworm.
The treatment for ringworm is t.

How to Press Chicken.

Draw and SINCE a chicken. Wipe
well with a damp towel, put in a kettle
and cover with cold water, place ever
a moderate fire and simmer gently I'M
til the meat falls from the bone. When
about half done, add teaspoonful of
salt. When done, take the meat from
the bones and cut it into small pieces
not over half an inch square. Put the
bones and skin back into the kettle and
boil until the liquor is reduced to pint
and half, then strain and season to
taste. Mix this with the chicken, pour
the whole into mold and stand it in a
cold place over night. When hard and
cold, turn out of the mold, garnish with
parsley and serve.

Denmark sells its butter and eats
oleomargarine. A government state
ment says the sixteen factories making
oleomargarine turned out last year 49,
774,00O pounds, an increase of nearly
100000 over the previous year. The
import was not quite 100000 pounds.
The output of these factories is mainly
consumed i'll Denmark, the per capita
being about eighteen and a half
pounds an increase of five and a half
pounds in ten years.

The Minnesota dairy and, food CON-
missioner has entered upon a most
worthy work in the way of prevent
ing those creamery proprietors who
make a, practice of undertaking the
milk test. One case is that of the sec
rotary of the Delavan creamery, who
has been arrested and fined for in
structing his butter maker to short cut
the test of milk and cream that came
TO the creamery. The st. Paul Globe
in commenting on the fact very truth
fully says:
Where there are several creameries
within easy distance Of farmer he
will naturally go to the creamery that
will pay him the most for his cream
If one of the creameries underreads
the tests of butter fat, it can offer a
larger price than is offered by the
creameries where the test is properly
gets a greater patronage than the other
creameries by fraudulent means. II
creates an unfair competition, and not
only do the other creameries suffer, but
in the long run the farmer also loses
because he is not actually getting the
same return as he would get from the
other creameries were his own cream
correctly tested.
The AnGus-Jersey Cross.
Cows of the Erica, Jennet and Co
quet families are considered good milk
ers by those who handle them and are
undoubtedly better for dairy purposes
than the general run of scrub cattle
found throughout the country, says R
D. Rosa of Goodland, Kan. AS fair
milking, high class beef cattle no breed
probably surpasses them.
Some fat calves from Jersey cows
and an Angus bull topped the fat calf
market in Chicago one day last Novem-
Der. This is, at least, one of the few
times if not the only time half Jerseys
have competed with beef bred calves
and topped the market. According to
all market reports and to every known
test, no bull can produce more valua-
bic calves and calves more salable at
an early age than an Angus.
Know What YOu Are Doing.
The cow is of paramount conse-
quence in the business of making mar
ket milk. The dairyman should deter
mine the character or quality of milk
he proposes to produce and sell and
the minimum quantity Of milk Of this
kind which he will demand from every
COW he owns during the 365 days in
every year which he is obliged to feed
and care for her.
The Cow the Year Round.
The cow should have good care
twelve months in the year. She should
give milk ten months and rest two
months. During the latter time she
should have little or no concentrated
food and the last forty-eight hours be-
fore calving have laxative food.

you to brush the pile up with stiff
whisk until it looks as it should. If
this part of the work is carefully done,
