WHEN TO GRIND FEED.
Prof. Henry Gives Some Valuable
suggestions ON Topic Of Par
amount Importance,

The following concise advice from
a recent book on feeding by Prof.
Henry, of Wisconsin, recognized
authority on the subject, is com
mended: "This subject is difficult
one to discuss owing to the great
variety of conditions existing as to
both grain and animals. Directions
are here given which may serve to
guide. the feeder in his practice. For
horses which are out of the stable
during the day and worked hard. all
grain, with the possible exception of
oats, should be ground. For those
at extremely hard work, all grain
should be ground and mixed with
chaffed hay. For idle horses oats or
corn should not be ground, nor need
the hay or straw be chaffed. \ COW
yielding a large flow of milk should
be- regarded as hard-worki1.g ami
NAL and her feed prepared uccord-
ingly. Fattening steers and pigs
may be crowded more rapidly with
meal than with whole grain, though
there is more danger attending upon
it's use. Sheep worth feeding can
always grind their own grain. In
general, idle animals and those hav-
ing ample time for mas:ication,
rumination and digestion do not need
their grain or 'roughage prepared as
carefully as do those with only linn
tied time for these essential opera
tions. Experiments quite generally
show increased gains from grinding
grain,, but in many cases they are
not sufficient to pay the cost of
grinding"

THE CARE OF CARPETS.
Some Housewives Destroy Theis
Floor Coverings by Being En-
tirely Too Economical.

To keep good carpet do not hide
it under a cheap drugget, as many a
prudent but short-sighted housewife
does. This only makes good carpet
the lining for poor one. Through the
loose fibers of the drugget dust filters
and little bits of dirt, which wear away
the fabric underneath.
It is always best to have the carpet
laid by men from the store, as they
know how to avoid straining the fiber.
Let them also clean the carpets, as the
amateur usually does more harm than
good as cleaner. The carpet should
be brushed away from the nap. Nap
dragged daily the wrong way weakens
apd pulls away.
To clean a carpet it should be done
over yard by yard with a clothes brush,
sweeping with the nap. This will give
you chance to see all the stains.
The right method to treat good
carpet is to lay it carefully on a soft
bedding of thick layers of newspapers
or of brown paper. The printing ink
on newspapers is disliked by the m 9TH,
which will avoid such things as place
unsuitable for the laying of its eggs.
Thus thick folds of newspapers not
only give thick underfooting for the
floor, but relieve the housewife of one
source of worry-moths in her best
carpet. The papers should be renewed
each time the carpet is taken up.-Bos-
ton Journal.

ROYAL CHURCH WORKER.
Queen Chrtstina of Sweden Labors
ZeAlOusly for Spiritual Wei.
fare Of Her People.

1t isn't often that you find queen
gong in seriously for religious work,
but that is what the queen of Norway
and Sweden does. OF course, her court
and family duties do not leave the
elderly royal lady much time for out
side employments, but all that she has
she devotes to looking after the spir-
1tual welfare of her two peoples.
All sects are on the same footing
In the estimation of this highly-placed
"church worker" so. long as they ac-
complish good. She herself is mem
ber of the Swedish Evangelical party,
and when she was in England in 1900
the religious work done by the low
church greatly attracted her. She at
tended social meetings of those who
devoted themselves to bettering the
condition of the poor, and got many
pointers for her future work at
home. She is the stanchest friend
that the Salvation Army has in her
realm, and the great influence which
the followers of Gen. Booth have
gained in Sweden is due more than
a little to the encouragement they
have received from the queen.
Queen Sophie, however, is not the
only member of the Swedish royal
family with spiritual tendencies. Her
eldest son, the crown prince, is too
busy learning statecraft to give much
time to spreading Christianity, but
her second son, Prince Oscar, and his
wife (who are known as the Count
and Countess Won Wisberg) are their
mothers devoted lieutenants in all
her religious enterprises.
The count and countess are, of
course, the handsome young couple
whose picturesque love affair made
such time in Sweden several years
ago.. and in dealing with which King
Oscar II. behaved so good-naturedly
The countess was then Miss Ebba
Munck, lady-in-waiting to Queen So
phie, and it was to be expected that
the king would do all in his power

SOME VICES OF COWS.


Sometimes an otherwise excellent
COW is. rendered partially or totally
worthless for the dairy because of a
habit of leaking milk, writes c. P. Good
rich in Patrons Handbook. This
fault cannot always be detected unless
the milk is seen to be leaking, It does
not follow that because cow milks
easily that she will leak her milk; far
from it,. Still, those that do leak, usu-
ally milk rather easy. Sometimes the
milk seems to drip away from the teats
nearly as fast as it is made and the I'D.
der is always NEARLY empty. This
makes a cow worthless as, a mixer.
but can be detected any time except
when she is<,$dry. Other cows do not
p leak until the udder is well.distended
and they lie down, forcing the milk out
in a stream and making quite puddle
\of milk on the ground or floor. Some
times the close observer will detect
this. -
Another fault that some cows have
is the habit of sucking other cows, or,
worse still, of sucking themselves. My
advice is never to buy such cow un-
der any circumstances if one can detect
the fault. Such q cow may possibly be
prevented from sucking, but she can
never be cured of the inclination to do
so, and will surely be source of vex-
alton.
If the cow you are looking at has a
ring in her nose, or has her nose
pierced for a ring, don't buy her. That
was done for something, and proba bly,
in a vain attempt to prevent her from
sucking. If she has her tongue slit it
is for the same reason. But, no ma ter
she can suck just the same. If the hair
is worn off about her head or neck, be
sure that it is not caused by some tog-
gerry put there to prevent her sucking.

to prevent the attachment between
his second son and young woman
without title from coming to any,
thing. The monarch, however, as
soon as he was convinced that his
son was honestly in love, permitted
him to make his morganatic mar
riage, insisting merely that, as usual,
the young man should give up his
succession to the throne. This Prince
Oscar was glad to do. He took the
title of Count Won Wisberg, married
Miss Munck in England, and they
have "lived happily ever after.' Even
as one of the most attractive young
women of the Swedish court, the
present countess was a great reli-
gious worker, and it is her example
which has led her husband to give so
much attention to this rather novel
form of royal amusement.
1t is not so very strange that King
Oscar should have acted as he did in
regard to his sons marriage, for he
is regarded as perhaps the most un-
ceremonious as well as one of the
most talented of European monarchs.
At the weekly receptions which his
majesty holds in Stockholm any one
of his subjects, be he high or low, is
welcome.
To them come noblemen, poor cod
fishers, wealthy merchants and even
peasants, and to almost every one
the affable royal host has a good
humored word or two. to say. His
majesty's mode of getting from place
to place is quite as original-for a
king. Except on grand occasions he
never thinks of using his state car
riage, but will jump carelessly on a
passing, street car, or, if he hasn't
too far to go, walks along the street
like any one else, entirely without
escort. Probably if King Edward
were 10 saunter alone down Piccadil-
ly traffic would be Stopped by the
crowds that would gather to get a
near view of their sovereign. King
Oscar, however, is so we'll known a
figure that passers-by hardly turn
their heads except to salute him.
The l:ing's literary gifts are, of
course. we'll known. He has trans
lated Goethe's "Faust," he has pub
lished several books of poems and
composed four or five rafting sailor
songs. His majesty's poems are pub
lished under the pen name of "Oscar
Frederick"

Make your cave of any size, shape or
kind, if it is nothing more than a
pit in the ground. Cover with poles,
few corn stalks, little straw and
six to eight inches of earth.
"a ventilator four feet long and
7x7 inches outside measure should
be extended through the roof near
the center, projecting IS inches be-
low the roof. 1t is made of four-inch
board and is eight inches wide by
four feet long, in the form of a
loose box without ends. A square
plunger should be made, of inch
board, the same length as the ven
ti.ator, using four-inch boards six
inches wide by four feet long. Nail
n board that just fits over the bot
tcm of the plunger and adjust over
the top, so that when the plunger
is placed in the ventilator the board
on top will prevent it's slipping into
the cave. The plunger should be
filled with sawdust and wrapped with
a piece of old quilt or padding, so
that when it is in the ventilator, the
hole will be completely stopped and
consequently frost proof. Put a
screw hook into the bottom of the
plunger and on it hang a reliable
thermometer, so that you can go to
the top of the cave, draw out the
plunger and see what the tempera-
ture is down below without having
to open it. The outline of nv cave
is shown in the accompanying illus
tration.
''In order to keep the temperature
uniform, throw snow all around the
cave as soon as the soil is frozen
hard, and cover it with straw or old
hay. The snow will keep the cave
warm in winter and cool late in
spring. If nights are very cold, keep
careful track of the temperature, and
If it gets below "a degrees pull out
the plunger and hang a lantern on

One of the most serious problems
for vegetable. growers is to secure
storage place which will keep vege-
tables from freezing during winter
and also prevent them from shrink
ing and growing during summer.
Numerous plans have been used,
some of them with most satisfactory
results. In the northwest, Mr.. S. j.
Fairfield, of Minnesota, describes his
method in a recent issue of the Min
nesota institute bulletin. Quoting
his own language, he says: 81 want
firm, hard seed potatoes from which
no sprouts have ever grown. To Sc
cure these, the potatoes should be
put in cave prepared especially for
this purpose and so arranged as to
control the temperature in winter
and summer, keeping it as near to
the freezing point as possible. Put
the potatoes right in on the earth
and keep them dark. In this way

statement in 1896, he said: ever
since the Civil War I have had attacks
of kidney and bladder troubles. decid-
edly worse during the last two or
three years. Although I consulted
physicians, some of whom told me I.
was verging on Bright's disease, and
I was continually using standard rem
edies, the excruciating aching just
across the kidneys, which radiated to
the shoulder blades, still existed. AS
might be expected when my kidneys
were in a disturbed condition, there
was distressing and inconvenient
difficulty with the action of the kid
ney secretions. A box of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, procured at Lamparter G.
Co.'s drug store, brought such de-
cided change within week that I
continued the treatment. The last
attack, and it was particularly ag.
gravated, disappeared"
Three Years After.
Mr.. Boies says in 1899: "In tho
spring Of 1896 I made public state
ment of my experience with Doan's
Kidney Pills. This remedy cured me
of a terrible aching in the kidneys,
in the small of my back, in the mus
cles of the shoulder blades, and in the
limbs. During the years that have gone
by can conscientiOusly saw there have
been no occurrences of my old trouble.
