Profitable Cows

The owner of a herd Of twenty five
grade Guernseys and Jerseys in Wis
consin submits this account Of the ay-
erage per cow: Cost Of feed, SIS; re-
turns from creamery, $571S; pounds
of milk, $500; pounds Of butter, 29S;
price of butter, 1872 cents; price Of
milk, 984 cents; return for one dollar
In feed, $2.O4; net profit Of butter over
cost of feed, $29.1S per COW. Ration:
Bran and maxi sprouts, six pounds;
well-eared ensilage. thirty pounds;
straw; fodder corn in fall; in sum-
mer pasture only. Adding value of
skim milk makes profit $1,000 per cow.
Thus the owner has netted over $1,000
for his COWS. Part Of the profit Is IN
skim milk at one-third to one-half cent
per quart, but worth the estimate for
making veal, pork and poultry prod
ucts. The value of feed in States fur
Their East would be $40 to $50 greater
per cow, while the price for milk and
butter would be considerably increas-
ed, The net returns would not vary
greatly. The open secret of success in
this case seems to be the fact that
every COW Is a heavy yielder of rich
milk. -Massachusetts PlSNghmaD.

Best Deterrent OF Crtme.


The most important duty Of any po"
lice force Is the control of the vaTant
and criminal classes and the preven-
ton Of crimes against person and prop
erty. There are many other and Inn
portant fields Of usefulness, but unless
the force is successful in dealing with
crime it Is q failure. AS a deterrent
of crime, nothing is probably
more effective than swift and
sure punishment, writes Andrew
D. Avery in the Cosmopolitan.
In England a murder trial Is COM
pleted within few weeks, or months
at the outside, after the apprehen-
sion of the accused, and from the first
trial there is no appeal to a higher
court of review or appeal. The wis
dom of permitting no appeal In cap
ital cases Is a question which has been
widely discussed, and cannot be taken
I'D here. Whether wise and humane
or not, 1t is interesting to note that
the police records show an astonish-
inglv small number Of murders in
London. and believe that the celebrity
with which the trials are conducted
has much to do with the suppression
of this most heinous Of all crimes.
According to the official report of the
commissioner of the metropolitan pc.
lice. there were reported to the London
nolice only twenty-four murders in the
calendar year 1901, and this out Of a
population Of over 100000.

Using bordeaux Mixture.

AS fruit growers become more famil-
lar with the use of bordeaux mixture
they, more fully appreciate Its value,
although experiments during the past
season demonstrate that it has been
used stronger than is necessary ex-
cept where the plants have been in
tested unusually bad. The most de-
sirable formula is four pounds Of cop
per sulphate and four pounds of IN
slaked lime to forty gallons of water.
Place the copper in an old bag and
hang it in few gallons of water I'M
til dissolved. The lime should be
slaked and then strained into the cop
per solution, at the same time adding
the balance Of the water. When the
mixture is to be used it should be kept
stirred, so that the ingredients will be
well mixed. AS the mixture is given
it IS used mainly Cor SCALE and when
it is to be used on insects, such as po-
tato bugs, paris green may be added
at the rate Of one pound to $50 gal.

Orchards and Birds.

Every tree in an orchard should be
washed at least twice a year with
strong soapsuds, but there will be no
necessity for scraping them. The cater
pillars should be destroyed as soon as
the nests are seen, which will end
large numbers of insects at once. AS
the insects multiply with amazing ra-
pidity, the escape Of a single pair
means thousands next season. One Of
the best assistants to the orchard is
the little wren. If farmers will give
him proper protection by constructing
boxes with entrances so small that no
bird but a wren can enter, the spar
row will be unable to drive it away.
AS the wren is an active and busy
creature, it destroys a large number
of insects in very short time, and,
as it increases rapidly under favor
able circumstances, may be secured
and induced to remain in the orchard
If proper facilities are afforded for
their protection and accommodation

Winifred had not been five hours II her
friend 3 house before she was aware shat
zee mad made miserable marriage; that
sne had bartered all her possessions for
an inadequate value; and that she almost.
!. not quite, hated the man whose name
she bore. .s''.-te
Durlng the time that Winifred STAYED
&c the Cedars, she had plenty of oppor-
tunlty of observing how this ill-assorted
couple lived. Francis Clayton's manner
to his wife was in itself an offense, al
most every word he addressed to her con-
tanned covert sheer, and he seemed to
mad no greater pleasure than in thwart-
ing her wishes and contradicting her or
ders.
Wlnlfred detested him, and was sys-
tematlcally Geld and repellent in her man
ner toward him. He saw it, and laughed
secretly to himself.
Little fool!' he thought, contemptu-
ously, she assumes these airs of yirtuous
indignation with huge propriety. Per-
haps the simpleten thinks that I am in
| love with her!'
He redoubled his attentions on seeing
that they annoyed her. If his wife sat
| down to the piano, he would get up and
leave the room, or else exclaim:
For heavens sake, Marion, don't make
that horrid noise; you have not vestige
of voice left. Do get up, and let Miss
Eyre sing. Her performance is worth
listening to. Come, Miss Eyre, won't you
sing me something?"
mo, l will not!' cried Winifred, an
grily, one day, tears Of vexatien in her
eyes. "If you cannot admire the beauty
of Fees singing, take it as no compli-
ment that you should praise me.'
My dear Miss Eyre, pray don't be
violent" said Mr.. Clayton, with a ma
licious smile. II am afraid your temper
is getting spoilt by Mrs. Clayton's ex-
ample; mine has suffered already from
her baneful influence"
Il think she must be an angel to have
lived with you so long!' Winifred ex,
claimed, in hot, angry championship OF
her friend. She was not worldly wise
enough yet to abstain from taking up
other peoples quarrels.
Mr.. Clayton remembered her words
and bore malice toward her for them.

Farm Notes.

The kind of crops and the manner OF
cultivation determine the profit. While
some farmers barely subsist on farm
of hundred acres, it is not difficult
for others to make small farms of only
ten acres pay. There are some Sec
tons in which a twenty-acre farm is
considered a large one, and yet such
farms nav well and their owners are
prosperous.
A saving of labor may be made In
the garden by frequently using the
rake. Very young weeds may be east
ly destroyed by passing the rake be
tween the rows, while by allowing the
weeds to remain until well rooted q
hee may be necessary. Economy OF
labor is in keeping weeds and grass
down as their seeds terminate, which
renders the task easier.
Sow some annual and biennial
grasses with the perennials for perma
nent pasture. especially if the soil be
wanting in richness and moisture. The
perennials will make but little heritage
fer two or three years, because theil
first efforts are to establish strong
roots. Animals, on the contrary
make but little roots; their growth Ii
chiefly above ground. and what re
mains Of them supplies some food and
shelter.

Farmers wives and the COW

The wives Of the farmers Of Mis-
souri, are getting so Industrious and
thrifty that 1t is becoming question
whether they or their husbands are
contributing more to the prosperity OF
the State. They have stimulated the
activity Of the Missouri hen until that
valuable member of barnyard society
is almost laying gold dollars. and now
they are making the Missouri COW ac-
complish results that would have as
founded her ancestors. Here, for in
stance, Is Mrs. Anna GOWN, Of Pop
lar Bluff, who, without, perhaps, being
the champion dairy woman of the
State. is doing an amount Of business
in this line sufficient to keep her and
her husband comfortably without 9TH
er resources. II kept account Of the
milk, and butter we sold last year."
Mrs. GOWN writes to her mother, Mrs.
w. Fl. Boulder, Of Farber, beginning
the LIST of last May, and by tho LIST
of this month we had sold 2,190 gal.
Ions Of milk and 1,439 pounds of but.

the butter and 10 cents a gallon for

Dragging about how much the Audrain
women SELL but l don't think any OF
them can beat that on milk and but

ceipts from milk and butter were

They show how much the farmers Of
Missouri have lost by not giving the

CaHsrinc Peach Trees.

Several years ago the writer par
ticipated in the work of laying
down peach trees in autumn ana
covering them in various ways to
protect them through the winter and
spring. This plan has been tried IN
various ways almost every year, and
nearly always with success. In sea-
son like the present one, when peaches
promise to be rarity, any scheme or
carrying the fruit buds through the
freezing weather Is especially attract
i've. Prot. w. Paddock has recently
reported the success of several grow
ers in various parts Of Colorado who
have been practicing this method.
They find it profitable as a CONNER
cial venture. 1t looks like an I'm
practicabIlity, to be sure, to lay down
and partially cover fruiting tree
every fall, but it has been shown re-
peatedly that 1t is perfectly feasible.

TWENTY-FIVE.
Kings are very common Ii the Tns
dian Territory. In fact, they are so
common that no attention Is paid to
them and their movements excite no
comment whatever. In the Creek
country alone there are twenty-five
real live kings. Nero Drew ID q fair
sample OF them. Each one has king
dom to look after and 1t keeps him
busy doing it.
The title does not descend from
father to sen as it does in the effete
European monarchs. The Indians elect
their own kings. The tenure Of office
is two years. However, whenever an
Indian is chosen king and serves his
people well he Is usually reelected
without opposition. Some Of the old
kings In the Creek nation have been
at the head of their kingdoms for forty
years or more, Nero Drew has been
a king for thirty-six years.
The Creek nation is divided into
twenty five towns, which is about the
same as a township In the States.
Each town has king, whose duty 1t
Is to lock after the Indians of his
town. He has no power to spend their
money or to command them to do any
thing, His powers are somewhat pater-
/ nal. He looks after the sick and sees

MOSQUITOES IN LOUISIANA.

They Are Many and Active, and One L. |
Monster in Siz-.
"You may talk about your mosqui-
toes up here in the North" said resi-
dent Of Bayou Sara, "bHt If you should
spend an hour or so fishing in some of
our Louisiana swamp bayous you
would wonder that you ever complain
ed Of your New Jersey or Staten Island
mosquitoes as Rh instrument Of torture.
There are eight or nine different va
rieties Of mosquitoes Matched in those
dark and noisome swamp bayous, and
no matter which kind samples you you
will wish it had been some other kind.
for it will seem that no other kind could
bite quite as bad as that one. There are
gray mosquitoes long, gaunt, wolfish-
looking fellows--reddish-b mosqui-
toes, black mosquitoes Of blush cast
and one that is nearly green. The one
that will strike you as the most for
midable is one we call a gallinipper
down there, and it resembles that
harmless insect both in size and make
up 1t Is easily half an inch long in
body, with spGead of wing an inch
wide, and n Kit in which 1t carries its
tools that is as long as It's body.
"This fearftflly equipped insect mon
ster has a saw, d gimlet, a lance and
a suction phmp. AS he can bore through
your boot and puncture your foot with
ease and dispatch, you may well mag
inc how muoh protection clothing or
gloves are against his assaults. Fortu-
nately, though, this giant mosquito
tint poisonous. The damage he does to
your physical comfort Is done by his
boring and saving and lancyhg Of the
flesh. That hurts like pounding your
thumb with a hammer, and leaves a
spot that will be sore and tender for
days.
"All the remaining eight varieties are
full Of venon4 and vim to get it where
it will do the greatest harm TO the
greatest number, but the worst Of all Is
the smallest one of the lot. This is a
gray mosquito, not more than an eighth
of an inch long, but every place that he
sinks his singer in on you will Instant
Iy rise up as big as a hickory nut, turn
as red as fire and pain like hornets
sting. AS the reservoir containing that
insects venom cannot possibly be
larger than a fly speck, the virulence
of it may be imagined.
1.-The experienced person never goes
fishing in those mosqulto-lnfected
bnyous," continued the Louisianan, ac'
cording to the New York Times, "un
less he has his head and face incased in
netting, fixed on a light steel frame
and with thick gloves on his hands
Gloves, though, are no bar to the big
gallinipper mosquitoes kit of tools.
| "Why does any one go fishing in those
noisome places? Because the fishing Is
always good, while it never is in tbs
open water bayous of Louisiana. Perch
bass, 1ackfish, as the pickerel is called
down there, and other fish Of fair gam:
quality are abundant in those dark
sluggish, root-tangled waters, and THE
enthusiastic angler is willing to dare
the mosquitoes and other poisonous
denizens of those swamps to obtain
few hours sport with his hook ant
