Ay, children, If twice two-score.
Men and women with heads of gray,
Never a word of how bad you've been,

Hark to the names we knew!

ancient and superior white fowls from
Dorking are a degenerated race COM
pared with the improved SUSSEX breed.
The feature in which this bird is most
popular is its table qualities. The
flesh Is white and very delicate in tex
ture- 1t is claimed by many to equal
II not excel the French varieties. The
broad. deep, and projecting breast of
the Dorking admirably fits it for table
purposes. and in this respect it is con-
ceded by some the rival of the Indian
Games. AS layers the Dorkings are
good. and are careful sitters and at
tentfve mothers. They are splendid
fowls for the farm and are profitable
for practical purposes.
There are three varieties of Dork-
ings-the White, Silver Gray, and Col
ored. The White Dorking is really
the purest blooded of the three as
for years this was the only variety
which produced invariably the fifth
toe.
The Dorking breed is one of the
Oldest known and dates back to the
Roman Empire. 1t was popular in
England for centuries before the ''hen
fever" broke out in the United States.

Milk Filters No. Practicable.

A bulletin of the Cornell station
says: While milk drawn under or
binary conditions becomes polluted
with varying amounts of dirt and
dust, milk obtained even with the
most careful precautions will contain
some foreign matter, which is S>eming
with germ life. These impurities,
consisting mostly of dirt and dust,
dissolve readily in the warm milk,
therefore, if the latter is not strained
promptly little if any of the filth can
be strained out. 1t is then of the
greatest Importance to reduce the
time that elapses between the drawing
and straining of milk to q minimum;
even then it has been found that about
one-hah of the impurities go into So
luton before the milk reaches the
stra1ner. Attempts have been made to
use strainers or filters that would fl
ter out bacteria and thus reduce the
number of bacteria in milk directly.
For this purpose, absorbent cotton,
paper filters, cellulose, gravel or sand
filters, porcelain filters and many
other devices have been tested and
used with more or less success. In
order to thoroughly understand the
value of these filters in connection
with dairying it is well for the dairy
man to know that the bacteria are
many times smaller than the fat
globules in milk. Bearing this fact
in mind it is not difficult to under
stand that, as soon as we make use
of filter that is dense enough to
prevent bacteria from penetrating, the
fat globules will also be filtered out.
A large number of experiments con-
Quoted at this station and elsewhere
have proved the correctness of this
statement. The fact that the use of
filters capable of depriving milk of
one of its most valuable constituents,
namely fat, and that such a process
of filtering is exceedingly slow and
therefore impracticable in dairying,
demonstrates clearly the impossible
ity of purifying milk meteorological
ly by means of any filter now on the
market

DESERT IneITEs TO POETRY.

Desolation.
know a desertlike place that is
not wholly desert, yet it is neither
oasis nor fertile land, says Werner q.
Reed in the August Atlantic. 1t is
what might be termed a semi-desert,
and it has mood that is different
from that of other deserts. 1t seems
philosOphic, well-contented sort of
place, that has much knowledge, much
wisdom, and that extracts a wise en-
Joyment from the days that pass over
it. 1t is nearly related to a tall peak,
and is akin to a nearby range of
mountains, and to the air and the sky.
Flowers grow upon this semi-desert-
sunhowers, and bergamot, and blue
bells, and Mariposa lilies, and many
other shaggy little steps that bear blue
and yellow and white and seven-hued
blossoms 1t knows sage-brush, too.
and yucca. and various pygmy cacti.
1t is field and farm and native land
for many well-established, ancient and
wise nations of prairie dogs, and it

for thousands of republics of ants
This semi-desert stretches away from
the mountains and runs its way in
billows towards the East. We know
it reaches to farms and towns and
work and trouble, and that it's next OF
kin, the prairie, goes on to the great
rivers whose banks are lined with the
covers of chatte1s, but we like to think
that, as desert, it stretches away be-
yond the horizon, and passes I'M
changed on to infinity, and across it is
the road to eternity, and endless
growth of soul and joy of effort and

DOrkings.

This English bird is one which may
be considered an ideal bird for gen.
eral purposes, says a bulletin of the
Department of Agriculture. 1t is
hRrdy fowl and can stand almost any
amount of cold weather. providing the
ground is not damp. This is proved
by the fact that they do well in the
northern part of Scotland and in the
extreme north of Ireland, among the
Cumberland Hills, and in other places
equally as cold and exposed. This
should be remembered by those who
contemplate raising them, that the soil
must not be damp if success is ex-
pected with them. The Dorking is
one of the oldest of domestic
fowls, if not the Oldest. There are no
definite records to show when it first
lived in England, or whence it came.
but the supposition is that it was car
ried to England by the Romans, who
evidently possessed fowls of similar
characteristics.
The chief distinctive mark of the
breed is the presence of a fifth or SUI
pernumerary toe, springing behind,
little above the foot and below the
spur. 1t has been sought by various
writers to deprive Dorking of the
honor of being the original and prin-
cipal rearing place of this justly cele-
brated variety, and it is asserted that
the true Dorking fowls are raised at

Exporting Peaches.

Some time ago we mentioned the
fact that the Department of AgricuI-
ture had made an experimental ship
nent of apples to the other side of
the water, and that the consignments
had arrived there in safety. More re-
Gently two consignments of early
peaches were made. Both of these
have now arrived and been sold at a
profit on the other side The cold
storage facilities were rather too
good, if such a thing can be possible
and several crates of peaches were
frozen solid These crates were on
the outside of the stack and got the
bulk of the refrigeration. The tenn
perature was kept little too low for
the best of results. This is a thing
that will have to be experimented
with in the shipping OF peaches. The
last consignment netted the shippers
$2-43 per six basket crate, which is
considered good price. II peaches
can be shipped abroad and kept in
perfect condition till sold 1t means the
opening up of an immense market,
and also a profitable one.-Farmers'

On the Waves of Chance.
BY F. H. LANCASTER.

IAINSAo1 Eth
Copyright 1902 by Daily Story Pub. Coz
The literary woman was playing the
oracle to the man of means. He liked
her well enough She was honest,
though she did have a penchant for
putting her thoughts into periods.
They never agreed; but then 1T is
not always exhilarating to converse
with people who say only yes and
why certainly"
Tonight the bone of contention was
the self-made man.
There isn't such a thing" she de-
clared. Let me show you how this
self-manufacturing business appears
when you get it into focus: we
really have not much say so about
what we are going to do and what
we are not going to do. We are wash
ed on shore by the waves of chance,
and because we were furnished before
hand with roots predetermined TO
strike into the soil, and because the
soil happens to suit the roots, we
stick where we are tossed, make
goodly growth and cry out to all be-
holders: See what 1 have done by
my lone self If the soil doesn't
happen to suit our roots, we shrivel
instead of fourishing; we tap each
passerby on the shoulder and whisper
to him that this is the Lords doing"
He interrupted her with an impa-
tient movement and the woman
laughed lazily.
Not very fattering. eh?"
ct is not true"
'True enough, and growing truer
every day. Take this terribly tor
mented question OF matrimony. How
many men and women out of hun
dred couples do you suppose sought
each other deliberately? They just
happened to meet and happened to
fall in love and happened to marry. II
the marriage turns out well, why, 1t
is their doing; if they drift into the
divorce court, the Lord gets the
credit for the whole of it-'Mysterious
Providence
She laughed at his disgusted frown.
You are like all the other women
of to-day" he remarked. Even while
you stand before the altar you have
the divorce court in clear perspec-
tive"
'T am not standing before the altar"
she cut in dryly. 'and don't expect to
be for one long, sweet while. What is
more; the women who are focking
to the divorce court aren't the women
of to-day. They are the women of
yesterday and last year. The sight of
our freedom has made them feel their
fetters.''
do you honestly believe that?"
'tWhat?"
THAT the unmarried woman has a
better showing in life than the mar
ried woman
Eighty per cent of the divorce suits
are brought by women
THAT proves nothing. Breach of
promise suits are also brought by
women"
The literary woman shrugged her
shoulders.
1T isn't human nature to know
when it is well off,

Census Figures on Meat.


The census bulletin dealing with
slaughtering and meat packing gives
the information that per cent more
beeves were slaughtered in 1900 than
In 1880, but the cost of beeves showed
an increase of 27.9 per cent The
population of 1900 exceeded the popu-
lation of 1890 by 21 per cent vege-
tarianism did not make notable
progress during the decade. 1t fol-
lows that there was a much greater
increase in the number of beef eaters
than in the number of beeves killed.
The inevitable result was an increase
in price.
There were sold during the last.
census year 1920. .400. 900 pounds of
fresh beef. This was 7.8 per cent more
than in 1890, but the cost increased
1873 per cent The average price In
1890 was Sc cents a pound and in
1900 7.2 cents The total output of
fresh, canned and salted beef in 1900
was 3,170, ,000. 900 pounds. That of
pork-fresh. salted. in hams, bacon
and sausage-was 4,665, ,000, 900 pounds.
That of mutton was 404, ,0OO, 900
pounds. This is an average produc-
tion OF forty pounds of beef, sixty
pounds of pork and five pounds of
mutton per head, of population Evi-
IDENTIFY mutton counts for little in the
United States The per cent of in
crease of hogs slaughtered in 1900
As compared with 1890 was 37.2
while the per cent of increase of cost
was S<-5. Had it not been for the
small percentage of increase In beeves

pork would not have oeen so marked.
