knock down the prices of meat. A few
years ago the farmers We're down on

snlc, Of proce.. Rn,...

1t is reported from various mar
kets that the effect of the recent
legislation regarding oleomargarine
and process butter has been to
greatly curtail the sale of both. Pro
cess butter men declare that the eff
feet has been disastrous on their
business, especially on the export
able surplus of this butter. We
think the great mass of dairymen
will not find much fault with this
result. While the maker of poor
butter may not so readily sell it as
formerly, the maker of good butter
will not find process butter taking
his trade away by means of an
article that masquerades as fresh.

law merely prevents fraud, and

reading the morning papers.
The girl at the general delivery win

quiry: Say, is they anything for the

Looking through the window she saw
a boy, with big. brown eyes, just on a
level with the shelf outside.
She took down the package of let
tiers remaining in the general delivery
box, looked all through them, then
shook her head, and the boy turned
away with disappointed look.
In the afternoon, after the crowd had
left the Office, he came again and called
up the girl: rs they anything for the
Jenners yet?"
The girl shook her head, but he was
not convinced. "Look for Bobby Jen-
ner." he said. Maybe you didn't look
for that NAME"
She knew there was no such name in
the package of letters, but to humor
the little fellow, she looked carefully
through them and answered, kind

Drying Persistent M1lker.,

Whether persistent mixers should
be dried off for certain time before
they freshen or not is a question that
all will not agree upon, says, an ex-
change. But where it is a settled pol-
icy to do so, then extreme caution in
some cases must be practiced, or in
jury will be done to the cows udGer.
When the time comes to dry the COW
off it will not do to simply stop milk
ing her. If this is, done inflammation
will set in, and great harm may re-
suit. 1t is best to milk the COW once
day for time regularly. Then skip
for two milkings and milk regularly
for few days. Then skip three milk
ings and milk regularly for few
days, when she may be stripped ire
gularly till quite dry. I have seen
COWS that would not go dry with this
kind of treatment. If they will not,
the only thing to do is to milk them
continuously and feed and care for
them accordingly.

ICE FOR THE DAIRY.
Safely Stored in Most of the
Southern States.

Every dairyman who lives in eli.
mate where ice forms over two inches
thick should have an icehouse, saws a
writer in Home and Farm. There are
plenty of plans for houses to be used
IN cold climates, where the ice forms
IL OF more inches thick, and can be
cut to pack in solid cube, making lit
Tie trouble to preserve it through q
comparatively short summer. But at
the south, or at least between the Ohio
river and central Tennessee, ice can
usually be obtained thick enough to
till a house, and if properly put in and
proper care taken of it, there will be
Ice when cold weather comes again.
My neighbors near Louisville had
handsome residences and stylish ice
houses that uniformly failed to keep
the ice, for they were built of brick
and stone, above the ground, and the
climate was too warm for them. /
dug hole IA feet square and 10 feet
deep, laid frame at the bottom and
one on top of the ground, and nailed
boards up and down all around. The
sides of the house extended four feet
above the ground, and made ~ inches
thick, stuffed with sawdust. The roof
was also made double and filled with
sawdust. This think very important.
l had no ventilation, nor do l see any
need for it. All the cold air over the
ice comes from the ice, then why let
air in?
watched the pond carefully to see
just when the ice was ready, and, hav-
ing my teams and negro men already
engaged, the work was begun the first
morning and finished by night, if it
took all night. In this climate you can
take no chances. Negroes will not
work in ice unless you make frolic Of
1T with an occasional dram, but not
too much. The ice was thrown in,
breaking to pieces in the ce.ter of
the house, while a man kept up the
sides with larger pieces. Sawdust was
put on the next day, and then the
trouble began, for the ice soon melts
from the sides, which spaces must be
kept filled with sawdust, as also any
crevices forming in the body of the
ice. l had no drainage, as water will
not stand in my ground. With daily
care my lcehouse was a complete sue
cess, and several others were built
on the same plan with equal success ia

"a, pineapple sucker trimmed ready to set;
B, base of a properly trimmed sucker)
The sucker should be set three to
five inches deep, according to size,
care being taken not to set it so
deep that sand can be easily blown
into the bud.
Plants may be set out at any time
during the year, but the favorite
time is during the fall after the
suckers have made good growth
and are somewhat hardened off.
If there should be suckers fit to
set out in spring, the pineapple
grower should not permit any avoid
able disturbance at that time, be-
cause it is the time of fruiting, when
the plants need every advantage pos
sible to produce the finest fruit.
Practically the time for setting
pineapple suckers is limited to the
season from July to November and
in a more limited way to February 1.

with much amusement, but the girl
at the window came to dread it.

ended with something very like a sob.
The girl at the Office window was ac-
customed to hearing complaints from
people larger than Bobby, who wanted
their mail and wanted it pretty soon,
too; but none of them had ever affected
her as this one did.
She came through the door into the

DRYING POTATOES.
New Idea Which May. in the Course
of Time, Develop Into Great
Industry.

Drying as means of preservation
from decay is a very perfect and salts
factory method for those fruits and
vegetables for which it is adapted.
Its scope is continually being extend
ed to include larger list of these
products than can be successfully han
died in this manner. The indianapolis
Sentinel prints the following concern
ing the drying of potatoes:
"'Dried potatoes is new idea and
industry, and like many other success
full experiments, promises to be big
thing. 1t is the product of the South
Carolina agricultural experiment sta
ton. During the process the potatoes
are boiled, peeled and evaporated in
cannery, and will remain, it is
claimed, in condition for years. The
preserved potato becomes fit for eat
ing after being soaked in warm water
for an hour. Like many other new
ideas, this promises to be big thing
1t insures to the farmer the perfect
preservation of one of his most prolific
and most important general food
crops, at the same time fitting it for
safe and economical shipment to dis
tant markets heretofore closed to it,
and effects these ends by mode of
preparation which is so simple and
cheap that it can be employed on any
farm. When it is noted that in one
case an acre of land yielded 357 BUSH
els of raw potatoes, which in turn
yielded 105 bushels Of the dried
product, the possibilities of the proc
ess in the way of developing the cul-
ture of the vegetable in the south and
introducing it to the worlds COM
merce and comfort begin to appear in
truly vast proportions"
