DaIryIng With Few toMs.


Many farmers who practice general
farming keep few cows and make
butter enough to pay their grocery
bill, but do not feel that they are do
ing enough iairying to put in silos,
separators and other up-to-date ap-
pliances. Often such farmers could
make their cows pay better than they
do by giving them better care and
making some change from the old
methods. 1t would be well for them
to take an occasional lesson from the
dairymen who depend almost alto
gether upon their herds for their in
come.
One change that many farmers
could well make is in raising soiling
crops to help out the pasture, rather
than to turn the cows out on the mea-
dows and newly seeded grain fields
after harvest. Much harm is done to
the meadows during dry weather If
pastured down closely; even more
harm is done the new seeding by be-
ing trampled during wet weather.
Another desirable change for the
come fresh in the autumn or early
winter, rather than in the spring, as
so many do-often letting them go
dry for three or four months when
butter is bring the highest price.
OF course the cows must have grain
feed and lots Of clean, sweet roughage
II they are to give milk, and they also
should have extra care. warm water
to drink and warm stable; but the
cows must be fed even If dry, and the
butter at winter prices will far more
than pay for the extra feed.
AS for the extra care most farmers
have lots of leisure time during the
winter, and it is more profitable to
spend that time in making the cows
pay their keep than in racing horses
or sitting around the grocery. 1t Is
to be remembered also that not only
is butter higher during the winter
months, but that veal is also; OF il
one chooses to raise the calves, they
will make far larger, finer animals
than spring calves. because they gel
much OF their growth before hot
weather and fly time. Slage, though
desirable, is not necessary in winter
dairying. Sweet. well cured clover
corn fodder with oat chop or bran ant
cornmeal will give good yield at tn,
pail, especially If helped out by tho
succulence of beets or turnips.
Some farmers have made change
but one which Is not for the better
by putting in the so-called aquatic
"separators." 1t has been clearl,

A sparrowless Spot.

It may seem impossible to most
readers that there can be single
place in the united kingdom where
the sparrow is never seen, and yet, on
the authority of Professor Newton, F.
r. s., there is such a spot-the moor
land village of Shepstor, in Devon.
Why the ubiquitous bird should shun
this place is not explained, but it is an
indisputable fact that it does. It is
all the more remarkable because the
sparrow, like trade, follows the flag"
Wherever the British go there the
sparrow is found. 1t has a tendency to
gradually drive out all the native birds
OF the country in which 1t chooses to
settle. Its pugnacity is well known,
and II multiplies rapidly, the progeny
of single pair in 10 years amounting
to no fewer than 275.0O0.O00 birds

Make New Nests.

Hens are usually very choice In
their selections Of nests, and unless
We provide those that are acceptable
to them they will most likely seek
others. Now is a good time to renew
every one. Take the old straw out

each nest with fresh straw or hay.
Set the nests in dark spot and
keep a china egg in each. Do not let
the hens hut nests in the hay loft or
COW troughs. and do not fail 10 gather
the eggs daily, and where 1t is pos
sisle send them to your customers the
same day.
All esq is at its best as soon as the
animal heat has left 1t, and each day
thereafter lessons its market value.
Do not let the hens go through mud
to get to their nests, as they will
make the eggs unsightly.
The paths where no grass grows
should be covered with gravel or
cinders. so that the hens feet may
never ge. dirty.
Provide sufficient nests, so that the
hens will never have to quarrel over
them, and see that every hen learns
to go to them.-Home and Farm.

Notwithstanding the fact that len
tils are recognized by students of food
economies as among the most nourish-
ing Of vegetables, they are very little
used in America. In Germany, however,
their value is fully appreciated, and sell
dom week passes where "Linsen," as
they are there called, do not come to
the table at least once, If not oftener.
In their dried state they resemble in
form small magnifying lenses, being
thick in the middle and tapecing
toward the inns. They are very hard,
and to be properly prepared must be
soaked over night in water before cook
ing. The form in which they are most
frequently eaten is as soup, which has
to be cooked for a long time, until the
lentils become thoroughly soft, few
bay leaves, some celery, red pepper or
other flavoring materials being added.
Another way to eat them is in the
form of mush. In that case frank
furters are, as a rule, cooked with the
lentils, although some prefer ham. As
vegetable side dish with frankfurters
lentils are just as appetizing, especially
when prepared with vinegar, as sauer-
kraut, and far more nourishing.
