TIMELY DAIRY NOTES.

Buy milk cans and pals that have
smooth seams. 1t is a difficult mat
ter to keep any other kind properly
cleaned.
Continue the grain ration for
awhile after the cows are on grass.
By the way, would it not pay you to
continue some grain right along?
If the barnyard is full of mud or
manure, rather than have the cows
wade through it, draw plenty of
straw and let them tramp over that.
Warm bran mashes and warm
water to drink the first "a hours
after calving will often save cow
from trouble and start her safely on
her period of usefulness.
Every farmer, and especially the
dairy farmer, should raise clover.
both to maintain the fertility of his
soil and supply one of the most valu-
able foods for his animals.
Large, clean windows, and lots Of
them, on the sunny side of the barn
are the salvation of the young calves
and the surest safeguard against tu-
berculosis. The germs of this dis
ease are killed by a short exposure
to sunlight.

WOMAN PRISON CHAPLAIN.
Ministers Regularly to the Hard II ed
Characters Confined in Lar
annie (WyO0 Jail.

The only woman in the world en-
gagged as chaplain in a prison is Mrs.
May Preston Slosson, of Wyoming
and she performs her duties with a
zeal that is worthy of all praise. She
is a regularly ordained minister of
the Gospel and might be settled over
a prosperous church, but she sees her
duty lies among the convicts at Lara
mic and has chosen that as her field
icle.
Mrs. Slosson received the first de-
gree granted to a woman at Cornell
university, where she worked for two
years after she had received the mas
ter's degree at Hillsdale college, Mich
igan.
After graduating she accepted the
professorship of Greek at Hastings
college, Nebraska, and was married in
1891 to Prof. Edwin i. Slosson, pro-
fessor of chemistry at the University
of Wyoming in Laramie.
In Wyoming, the prisoners of the
state penitentiary were at one time
kept without work on account of the
opposition of the trades unions to
their employment. Men deprived of
the saving grace of work, no after
to what part of the community they
belong, soon become thrown out of
their balance. That happened to the
prisoners, who got into peculiarly
morbid and unruly condition.
1t was in that frame of mind that
Mrs. Slosson conceived the idea which
the authorities permitted her to put
into practice. She arranged for
series of Sunday afternoon talks and
experimental lectures by the profess
sors of the university.
She herself gave two lectures before
the convicts, and when the minister
who was acting as the chaplain left
the town the prisoners petitioned the
governor to appoint her chaplain. He
acceded to the request, and since July,
1899. she has filled the office not only
to the satisfaction Of the auth critics,
satisfaction of those who are the en-
forced members of her congregation.
The prisoners number some 900 and
consist for the most part of young
men who have gone west from spirit
of adventure and have got into trou-
bic either through drink or from get

w. J. Hill, of 40 South Union Street,
Concord, N. c., proprietor of hardware
and harness store, Justice of the Peace,
and one of the best known residents of
that city, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills
proved a very efficient remedy in my
case. / got box at the Gibson Drug
Store and used them for disordered
kidneys and backache from which had
experienced a great deal of annoyance,
trouble and pain. The kidney secre-
tions had bothered me for long while,
were very irregular, dark colored and
full of sediment. The Pills cleared it
all up and have not had an ache in my
back since taking the last dose. My
back is much stronger and my health
generally is improved a great deal. I
am glad to make a public endorsement
of the Pills trusting that it may be
the means of relieving some other
sufferer"

maybe sixty, west of New Athens, into
the country where they tell the story

When he was asked how far he had to
pack it he said, Seven miles
"'Why, good Lord man. says the

if the water were cool and pure when
first drawn, the heat of the sun soon
renders it warm and tasteless. A South

water every time an animal wants a

same time relieving the farmer of the
necessity of pumping the supply every

than fitting platform, on which the
animals are compelled to walk every

Close Calls in Boer War.

Fantastic escapes from death were

OF ONE WHO SANG GLADLY.

he loved the pageant of the spring.
The white cloud-banners of the sky;
He loved to hear the first lark sing,
To watch the golden year drift by
His glad heart loved the ripping song
OF mountain rills that laughed and
rang,
And of their joy through bleak days
long,
For all the weary world he sang.
He sang of hope. when hope was low
Within his own poor tired heart;
He sang of joy. and. singing So
Forgot joy had with him no part.
He sang of April when his soul
Was drenched with bleak November
rain;
And though he could not reach his goal
He raised a, glad exultant strain.
Oh sucn a heart as his, I know,
Now that the worlds wild stress is Ger
Now that the cold and bitter snow
No longer wraps his young souPs door,
Sings through an everlasting spring
An April paean loud and clear,
And all the birds of summer bring
Some echo of his glad voice here,

ARRANGEMENT OF COVERING.

quickly. Woody cuttings require
more care. For instance, weigela,
forsythia, honeysuckle, ETC., should
have cuttings taken from well
ripened wood in July or August. Cut
to length containing two pairs of
leaves. Remove the lower pair and
with sharp blade make clean cut
right at the joint. Many woody plants
will not form callus except when
cut at this point. Leave the stem
projecting little above the upper
pair of leaves, so it may not dry back
too far and injure the buds. Then
the two leaves left should have the
outer half of the blades removed.
With roses, or other shrubs where
the leaves are not in pairs, the same
principle holds. Choose the wood
which has bloemed and cut to in
clude four or five joints, always max
ing the lower cut at a joint. Remove
the lowest two leaves and cut back
the others. They should be pressed
firmly in the sand. kept moist and
given plenty of sunlight.-Orange

Manure ON Sugar Reefs.

The common teaching is that sugar
beets are injured in quality by stable
manure applied the same season that
the beets are sown. That this is not
true, at least not on certain soils in
New York, is proved in bulletin No. POS
of the station at Geneva Tests
were made for four years-on two
farms in widely separated localities for
one season-with results uniformly
favoring rather than opposing the use
of the stable manure. The yields were
better than with liberal applications
of commercial fertilizers; and the per-
centage of sugar and coefficient of pur-
ity of the juice were higher with the
MANFRED beets than with those with
out manure or those receiving CONNER
cial fertilizer.

CAUSE OF SOUR MILK.
of Handling Are the Principal
Sources of Loss.

MILK sours because in the process of
growth and multiplication of the
bacteria the milk sugar is changed to
Tactic acid. When there is enough
acid present to be apparent to the taste
the milk is said to be sour. Bacteria,
like corn or any higher form of plants
require food, moisture and sufficient
heat In order to grow and multiply.
Milk has the necessary moisture, is a
perfect food and is usually at the right
temperature for rapid growth of bac-
terra.
Since the keeping quality of milk
bears direct relation to the bacteria
which gain access, IL is important to
prevent their getting into the milk.
The udder and adjacent parts of the
body which are much shaken during
milking is one of the chief sources OF
injection, while the dust of the stable.
the hands and clothes of the mixer to-
gether with the pals and cans used are
only slightly less important sources.
Experiments show that milking in
stable where the circulation of air can
carry the dust out; whipping the udder
win camp cloth. and scaldlnS uten-
sis with live steam or boiling water,
will not only reduce the bacterial con-
tent. but increases the keeping
quality of the milk materially. A COW
cred milk pail, with only small OPEN
ing to milk into. reduced the number
of germs falling into the pail one
fourth as compared with common
pail, and the milk kept sweet 20 hours
longer. Immediately cooling after
milking is next in Importance. Milk
allowed to stand two hours without
cooling contained % times as many
germs as when milking was finished,
while that which was cooled to "a de-
grees, only had four times as many at
the end of two hours. This emphasizes
the Importance of quick and thorough
cooling.-Midland Farmer.

Some people seem to have formed
the idea that any kind of food is good
enough for animals and any kind Of
water will do for them to drink, being
only intent on filling them with some
thing which will pass for food and
drink. But why should a cow or horse
enjoy the taste of musty hay and

only satisfied with the purest food
stuffs and drinks to be had? There is
no doubt that it is a common practice

this calyx will close up tightly and
if poison can be introduced before
this closing it will be better retained,

object of lifetime with these moths
is to deposit their eggs, and they will do
this, largely at least, as soon as the
bloom falls. Then is the time to spray.
