COW IN THE STALL.

spine, but does force the COW to draw
back instead of pushing ahead; thus
the gutter back of the COW catches
the filth and the floor remains clean.
: There is no rule to give for the ex-
act placing of the structure, as diff
ferent breeds of cattle differ so in
height and length; however, piece No.
2 should be located just back of upper
point of shoulders, and from one and
,one-half to two inches above the back.
This gives a chance for free movement
and in no way interferes with the COM
fort of the cow. My cows are Jerseys,
and frame is just 20 inches from
stanchions. No. 1 is a block on
which to fasten No. 2. No. 8 is the
upright which should extend to the
joint above, and there be fastened. No.
4 is a brace for the support of the
frame, and should be nailed very firm,
as the cow will break the trap if she
can. No. S is the gutter.-Orange Judd

a little bran; this does not furnish the
most desirable nor the cheapest ration
when production is considered. Leave
out the corn entirely, as worse than

four pounds bran, four pounds oats

without the hay, you will get results

HOW THEY PROPOSED.

Gainsborough's wooing was made
almost absurdly easy for him. He
had completed a portrait of Miss
Burr, a charming young lady of 16
summers, when his fair sitter was so
delighted with her presentment that
she more than limited that while she
took the copy the artist might
claim the original. Gainsborough did
not decline such a tempting offer.
Bismarck's iron resolution was
never better demonstrated than in
his lovemaking. At his first meeting
with the lady who was to share his
life for so many years he proposed
to her and was accepted, and on the
following day, presenting himself at
the house of her parents, who knew
him only as a young man of undesir-
able reputation, he demanded the
young lady's hand and refused to
leave the house until his suit was
granted.
For constancy it would be difficult
to find a rival for Jeremy Bentham.
In early manhood Jeremy Bentham
proposed for the hand of a young
lady, who promptly refused him.
Forty years later he renewed his
offer, with the same result; and, still
loyalty cherishing his love in old age,
he proposed again at the age of so
in a touching letter, in which he
wrote: "Since the day when you pre-
sented me with the flower in the lane,
not a single day has passed in which
you have not e%ngrossed my
thoughts"
Probably no gallant who ever laid
his heart at a fair lady's feet was
more undecided than Lord Byron
when he wrote the letter which COM
mitted him to his unhappy marriage
with Miss Milbanke. He had just
proposed to another lady, and, as he
held her letter of refusal in his hand,
he said to a friend: at seems that
it is to be Miss Milbanke after all;
I will write to her. He sat down and
wrote the fatal letter." handing il
to his friend for perusal. ga pretty
letter." the friend remarked, after
reading it. "It is a pity that 1t
shouldn't GO" "Then IL shall co.
exclaimed Byron, and thus opened
one of the most tragic chapters OF
his checkered life story.

X GOOD BUTTER.
All Authorities Are Agreed That
Success Depends on Proper
Ripening Of Cream.

The all-important question of the
day with creamery and dairymen is
how to obtain a uniform and fine fla
vored butter. Nearly all investiga-
tors agree that the secret lies in the
proper ripening of the cream; and
when we read of the tons of low-grade
butter brought into the markets daily,
all owing to the fact that the negli-
gence or ignorance as to the proper
treatment of the cream lies at the root
of this great fault, it appears to be a
point worthy of consideration,
To state the subject of starters
plainly and intelligently, it is neces-
sary to take the fundamental princi-
pie of the ripening of cream into on
sideration. The ripening of cream in
cludes two features upon which the
quality of the butter largely depends.
These are flavor and texture. The eff
fects of ripening with starters are far
more marked upon the flavor of but
ter than upon the texture, for it is
during this process that the character
istic f1avors are developed. Cream
r'rening is merely a fermentation
process caused by bacterial growth.
This growth is controlled by tenn
perature by which a rise from 60
degrees Fahrenheit, and not to ex-
ceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit, induces
growth and develops immense num-
bers OF bacteria; while lowering the
temperature retards growth. The ac-
ton of these germs in cream results in
the conversion of a part of the milk
sugar into Tactic acid, and a slight for
nation of carbonic acid gas and a few
other volatile constituents not def
nitely known.-Midland Farmer.

KEEPING cows Fan
A Little Device Which should Be
Carefully Studied Because It's
Worth Introducing.

The illustration shows a COW stall in
actual use. The contrivance over the
shoulders of the COW is the unique fea-
ture. Cows, when urinating, natural.
ly arch the back, and if confined by
rope or stanchion, will crowd as far
ahead as possible, thus allowing their
waste to fall exactly where they would
stand when feeding. The little device

When you are considering the con
struction Of the best ration for your
COW consider first the taste of the COW
and next her construction, for there is
no question that the COW inclined to
lay on bodily fat will require more
protein for her best matchmaking than
the angular dairy COW. We all quote
"every n to his taste,"a the old man
said who kissed his cow. That only
shows the taste Of the man and not Of
the COW. She might object to oscula-
ton, and the cows taste must be con
sidered.-Farm and Fireside.

PRICES FOR HARD COAL
Independent Operators Ask Twice Rs
Much as the Coal Rail-
road Companies.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Domestio sizes Of
anthracite coal were quoted at $40 a ton
at tidewater yesterday by the independent
operators. BY the cosi-carrying roads the
same grades OF coal were quoted at So.
Representatives Of the big companies said
there was no decrease in the amount Of
their coal coming to this city, and that
none OF 1t was being sold as an independent
output.
The market is expected to fuctuate with
the weather and the amount Of anthracite
on hand. II dealers are to buy their coal
at two prices the cost to the consumer will
be governed to a large extent by the pro-
portion which the high-priced coal Of the
operators bears to that OF the coal roads.
Throughout the coal trade the opinion
prevails that the minimum price OF $40 a
ton, said to have been set by the inde-
pendent operators, must break before the
end Of the month, when the hrst produc.
ton begins to tell. The open winter has
helped to keep the situation in hand.

GROCERY JOBBERS VERY BUSY
Heavy Demand for Tea f. Followed
by Lively Trade In
Other Lines.

Grocery iobbers report the most active
business during this week that has ever
been experienced during the correspondent
term Of any year. The activity began with
the movement Of tea last week, the reduc-
ton of the price consequent upon the re-
moval Of the tariff having made the demand
large not only for advance orders, but for
Immediate demand. Following the great
demand for tea comes an unexpected in
crease in the demand for ordinary gro
ceries, so that all houses are now running
their work late at night in order to nll
orders.
There is much speculation as to the re-
suit Of the efforts Of managers OF canning
factories to push futures in canned goods.
A few Baltimore packers have made prices,
but the majority refuse to do this. Some
business has been done on the basis of last
years prices, but the packers OF Indiana,
which state supplies a large part OF the
total output. probably will make a price
8 cents in advance of last seasons figures.
