Pure Water for the sGnwa.

The water for the cows should be
abundant and pure. Pure water in un-
limited quantities is essential for the
health of the cow. But it comes bodily
publication. With unclean or contam-
mated water the publication cannot be
complete. Water is necessary also for
the best digestion of food, and without
all the water she needs the COW is fe&
wastefully. But water is not essential
food. Milk is about IS per cent. water.
Someone has said that "some milk is
very much more than IS per cent. water" !"
but that is not the fault of the COW or the
pasture. When the COW has insufficient
water she does not make milk with less
water in it, so that an artificial addition
by the milkman is necessary; she simply
makes less milk.-W. F. McSparran, in
Farm and Fireside.

The Lesson q Buck $ Defascatlon.

From Mapleton Enterprise:
There is q lesson in the defalcation Of
Alfred "a. Buck. He travelled the pace
that kills. His associations were not
such as~te inspire comic dence, and would
not have done SO but for the honored
career Of his noble father. He had a
beautiful home, surrounded with every
comfort, had been twice honored with
the highest position within the gift Of
the people Of the community. Instead
of appreciating his position and en-
deavoring to build up the community
his example was such as to be demoraliz-
ing to the rising generation. His ha-
bits and associations were not in Keep
ing with the position he occupied as a
citizen or as a man, aud he has simply
reaped what he sowed and from now,
henceforth is fugitive upon the face
of the earth, with the shadow Of prison
walls staring him in the face, his aged
father bereaved and his family dis
graced. 1t is certainly gloomy picture
and carries forward in a convincing
manner the old precept that 'honesty is
the best policy" Alfred Buck simply
travelled the pace that kills.

DAIRY BARN AND YARD.
Taken to secure Elective
Natural DRAMA re.

s. In locating dairy barn care should
be taken to have gentle slope from
the barn In at least one direction, af-
fordihg good natural drainage for
both barn and yard. If the barn is
already built and poorly located,
draining and grading will do much to
remedy the evil. In most cases it
would take but small amount Of.
labor with ploW and scraper, when the
ground is in suitable condition to
handle, to give the surface of the
yard slope from the barn sufficient
to carry off the surface water. Even
If dirt has to be hauled in from out
side the yard to accomplish this it
will not be expensive. The drainage
alone under a yard is not sufficient
as the tramping of the cattle soon
puddles the surface, preventing the
water from passing down to the tile.
After the grading is done the yard
should be covered with gravel or Gin
ders. BY putting the coarser in the
bottom and the finer on top a good
hard yard can be obtained and at a
comparatively small expense where
material Of this kind is available. II
this cannot all be done in one year, it
is of the utmost Importance that be-
ginning be made by grading and grav-
cling portion of the yard next the
barn, so that the COWS may have some
place on which to get out of the mud
and filth. By grading a part of the
yard each year and applying thick
coat of gravel or cinders to the graded
part, the entire yard will, in a few
years, be in good condition. When
gravel does not contain enought clay
to pack hard, small amount of clay
should be mixed with the top layer.
1t will then form firm substance.
A portion of the yard should be bed
ded, thus atfording the COWS a place
to lie in the open air on pleasant
days. If straw is scarce the cleanest
of the soiled bedding from the stable
will answer for this purpose. When the
straw and manure on this bedded por-
ton of the yard become too deep and
soft it should be hauled into the field
and the bedding commenced again on
the solid yard.-W j. Fraser. in Farm

Milwaukee Road to Build to the Pa
cific,


Advices were received at Chicago
Wednesday conflrmatory Of the reports
which have been in circulation for some
time to the effect that the Milwaukee
& St. Paul is contemplating the imme.
diate extension of it's lines to the Paci-
fic coast. .
Roswell Miller, chairman of the
board of directors of the road, makes
the statement that construction work
on the proposed extension will be be-
gun within the next two, years. Once
begun, it is intimated that: the work
will be pushed with the utmost exer-
tion until completed.
It is now very we'll known that it
was with the view of providing the
means for the execution of this work
that an increase of $25,000,000 in the
capital stock of the company was
authorized a little over a year ago. The
issue of that additional stock has not
yet taken place but, it is now stated
that it will shortly and will be applied
to the purpose i'll view Yhe en it was or.
iginally authorized. "
The delay in issuing was caused by
the traffic arrangement the road was
able to make with the Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific, which placed it
upon an equality with the Chicago &
Northwestern in dealing with the
roads named. That arrangement gave
it through service, both passenger and
freight, to California and North Paci-
fic coast points.
The arrangement, however, favor
able as it was believed to be at the
time, has not come up to the full ex-
pectations of the Milwaukee & st. Paul
That road feels that it is not on equal
terms with the Burlington through its
connection with the Northern Security
Company's roads, and that it could
maintain it's equality much better had
it an independent line to the coast.

A Governor who was an experiment
and has turned out a successful one is
Lord Tennyson. There We're people
who shook their heads over the selec-
ton. They thought his fathers son
must inherit some of the self-conscious-
ness that is Il tradition in the Isle
of Wight, where every sparrow on a
tree was suspected of having come
from England to view the bard, and
the frog that leaped out of his path
was accused OF having swan the At
lantic. The poet lived by mis- popular
ity, but would not, with the half
pence, take the kicks. Now, one Of Il
Governors chief uses is to show him
self. He is there to be seen. How
then, the people argued, would the
moods and modes Of Farringford be
possible at a Government house? Time
has solved the problem. Lord Tenny-
son, going on his far Journey, left all
the poets impcdimanta behind him.
He was turned upside down-'liter-
ally" and his views OF men and things
underwent an answering reversal. As
Il result, he is proving himself thor.
oughly acceptable; and there are people
in South Australia who think that
Downing street might do many worse
thing than send Lord Tennyson from
Adelaide to the Governor Generals
quarters in sydney and Melbourne

Keep Your Shoes New"

Some people always buy the most ex-
pensive footwear, and always manage
to look i'll shod. Others haunt bargain
counters and wear unpretentious shoe
makers shoes, and somehow the boot
toe peeping from beneath their skirt
is always of the neatest.
All boots, shoes and slippers intended
for ordinary wear should be kept on
their tree when not in use, and when
ever the walking boots get damp, they
must be rubbed with yaseline as soon
as they are taken off, first, however,
removing the mud and afterward pad
ding them with soft linen rags or
paper. This will preserve their shape
and prevent shrinkage. Shoe polish
should be used sparingly, and only af-
ter the dust has been wiped off, for
more shoes are destroyed by the reck-
less use Of polish than is generally sup.
posed.

Lamps For the Library.

The newest lamps for the drawing
room and library are of metal and nat
urally form fitting foundation for
those beautiful bent glass domes in
loaded effects or other metallic set
tings. A number are in art nouveau
effects; one of these is of oXidized
brass. In shapes they range from
graceful forms (not the very squat
shapes to tall monumental affairs of
the banquet variety.
A clever thing of Grecian form with
low, graceful supports is in mandarin
bronze, and is very attractive.
One charming oxidized bronze lamp
is in the old Dutch style, simple,
sturdy loving cup as to shape and the
column resting ON three savage looking
griffins.
Choosing a lamp is easier than choos-
ing shade, for a shade must look well
when lit up, and it must be becoming.

Leave Taking.

The old-fashioned flowing wells have
called out some pretty pins. Circles of
pearls and oval lattices in pearls and
diamonds are attractive conventional
designs, while bees, butterflies, dragon
flies and other insects in brilliant en-
amels and colored gems will warmly
welcome the winter season.
A little nicely of 1eave-taking that Is
practiced by a certain well-bred wom-
an, says the Dundee News, is to rise to
end the visit while she is the speaker.
In this way she is apparently leaving
while she is much interested. This is
better than to start at the end of a
pause, or to jump up the moment your
hostesss voice drops. One way implies
boredom; the other waiting for a
chance to get away.
This may seem trifle Of observance,
but it is worth while if only to train
ones self in the habit of easy leave
taking-a rare accomplishment even
among women with wide social eX-
perience. Once standing, leaye prompt
ly, and avoid spinning out a second
visit in the hall.

The Reckless Dog.

"Did you ever notice that dog will
not wait for a street car to pass II he
wants to cross the street," asked an
observant man. "Well, he never will
do it. He will dash wildly in front Of
the car every time, and very often he
takes his life in his hands, as it were,
in order to make the crossing. Why it
is l do not know, but the average dog
will become panic-stricken in way II
a car rolls along at time when he Is
anxious to get on the other side of the
street. With a desperate plunge he
will dash in front of the car. In many
instances the car will not miss the dog
the fraction of an inch. l have talked
to street car men about the matter, and
motormen have assured me that nine
ty-nine out of every 100 dogs will do
this very thing. 1t may be that they
do it just for the excitement of the
thing. Dogs seem to love excitement.
They seem to be particularly fond of
anything that smacks Of the chase
anything that will give them chance
to develop speed and show fleetness Of
foot. We have all noticed how they
will run after and bark at any object
that is in motion. 1 have known dogs
that would run 100 yards or more after
a cloud shadow, or the shadow of a
buzzard, as it skinned along the land
scape. They will run after flying
birds. They will chase anything that
is on the so, whether the object is ami
mate. or inanimate. They will run af-
ter wagons, street cars, bicycles, auto
mobiles or any old thing, and it may
be that this old love of the chase has
something to do with the practice
have been discussing. At any rate,
the average dog will not wait for a
street car to pass if he wants to cross
over to the other side of the street,

westmjnster's Stained Glass.

The great rose window in the south
transept of the Abbey, which has just
been dedicated to the memory of the
late Duke of Westminster, reveals the
poverty in the matter OF stained glass
of our national Valhalla. The Puritan
iconoclasts made short shrift of the
magnificent and priceless glass of the
thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth CEN
turtles. Fragments alone could be
found to form "the extraordinary
patchwork" OF the great east window
where scarcely any figure is distin-
guishable. The great west window
belongs to the reign of George H.,
whose arms are in the centre. From
the same period dates the window in
the south transept. Then there is a
window in the southwest tower, given
by Mr.. Childs. of Philadelphia, to the
memory of the two religious poets,
George Herbert and William Cowper,
both Westminster students. True, the
Chapter House close by is not so badly
off. Its windows, setting forth various
incidents in the Abbey story, were
presented by the late queen and by
American ana English subscribers. But
as the space available for monuments
diminishes, the stained glass window
seems an appropriate commemoration
for men of more national importance
than the late Duke of Westminster
