His Second Sight

When we are particularly anxious
to annoy Weston at the club we have
only to start discussion on spirit
ualism. Sometimes if one of the
junior members has to be punished
for cheek we tell him tall spiritualis-
tic yarns and advise him to go TO
Weston for their verification- This
has much the same effect as sending
a boy to saddler to buy strap oil.
Not SO many years back Weston
was an enthusiastic spiritualist him.
self, attending seances and even
writing letters to the local press on
the subject. But he was cured some
what rudely and in a manner likely
to make lasting impression on any
man.
You see it was this way: About
five years ago, when Weston was at
the hight of his spiritualistic zeal, a
widow with a very pretty daughter,
reputed to be worth small fortune
of $1,000 a year, took a house on the
outskirts of the town. Weston fell
head over ears in love with Daisy,
though, greatly to his chagrin, she
seemed to prefer the attentions of a
young chap in the office of a firm
of solicitors who held the Office of
clerk to the magistrates. Weston
was continually at Miss Daisy about
spiritualism and tried to get her
mother to bring her to some of his
precious seances. But she refused to
have anything to do with them, and
believe it was this silly fad of his
which put her off Weston. Any sane,
sensible man, seeing how the ground
lay, would have dropped spiritualism
and gone in for a little reality-Daisy
was worth dropping something for |
can tell you-but where spirits were
concerned Weston was just mad and
it only made him more determined to
prove to her that his theories about
second sight and so on were correct
l remember that winter we'll 1t
froze for three weeks on end Yves
ton used to take Daisy out skating on
some flooded meadows near the sta
ton, and things seemed to be coming
to a head. He wore his heart quite
openly on his sleeve and was ready
to lick her shoes for love, but the
other chap, who just at this time
came out of his articles and got
partnership in the firm, was making
the running pretty hot There had
been lot of men thrown out of work
by the cold weather and some ugly
stories were afioat about burglars,
footpads and the Ike Mrs. Hardy's
little house, away out by itself, seem
ed a sure mark for gentlemen of this
sort, and Weston was never tired of
warning her to keep the windows
bolted, and even induced her to have
a special new lock put on the front
door.
After the frost we had snow.

safe Prices for Butter.

We do not believe it to the advan-
tage of farmers to have butter too
high in price, just as We do not be-
lieve it to be to the advantage of the
stock raiser to have meats too high
in price. When butter is beyond 25
cents in the summer time it is at a
point where the substitutes of butter
are certain to be used to a consider
able extent. This is not a condition
to be hoped for. The nation is of
more Importance than the individual,
and while the butter maker wants to
get as much as possible for his prod
uct, he also has an interest in having
good wholesome butter within the
reach of all. When butter is selling
beyond 20 cents it is at point where
the farmer can make money if he
has the right kind of cows 1t is pos
sible to keep. such poor cows that
every pound of butter would cost so
cents, but we cannot reasonably be
expected to figure on such cows. We
take the reasonably good COW of the
intelligent farmer, and assert that
with her there is a profit in selling
butter at 20 cents a pound. In the
months when the COWS have to be
kept up there is profit in selling but
ter at from 25 to 80 cents per pound.
Butter in the West should never retail
at more than 80 cents per pound, and
will not when We have disposed of all
the poor cows and filed their places
with good ones. The consumer of but
ter may think that he does not care
what kind of cows the farmer has,
but if he but knew it he has a very
material interest in the question
Butter is high because of the great
cost of producing butter fat due to
poor quality IN the cows

Pig Pasture.

ioes not rob the farm of anything;
you are selling your grass at a good

Five Generations of One Family

Mrs Susan ID. Crossman, mother of
Elisha Crossman of Chicago, and pi-
oneer of Rock county, Wis, celebrated
her Tooth birthday at her home, five
miles from Beloit, Wis, on Sunday,
March 20. Five generations were rep
resented by fifty persons in the family
gathering assembled to celebrate the
event. Mrs. Crossman was born in
Cheshire, Mass. Her grandfather
was Earl Clapp, a minute man and
major in the revolutionary war. In
1S4S Mrs- Crossman and her husband
penetrated the wilderness to near the
present site of Alton. Wis, and set
tied on government land. Of their
seven children four are living. One
Mrs. Helen NJ. Chandler, was a mis-
sionary in Siam for thirty-nine years.

A LAWYERS GOOD ADVICE.

Intending Litigants Would Do Well
to Heed 1t.
One of the old practitioners at the
Osceola (Mo.) bar tells this story of
the good counsel which a lawyer in
that town once gave a client:
Shortly after the firm of Nesbit &
Ferguson hung out their shingle an
old farmer called upon them in regard
to land suit Some of the parties
at issue were not residents of the
state and It was necessary to notify
them by publication. Ferguson took
down blank and began to fire ques.
tions at the farmer at a great rate,
which the honest old fellow proceeded
to answer after weighing carefully
each word. The blank having been
finished and put in pigeon-hole, the
client asked what it was.
That is the advertisement com
manding the non-residents to appear
and defend the suit
And how much will that cost?''
My friend" " said Ferguson, calmly,
looking the old man in the eye, .'if
you are going to figure on the cost
you had better stay out OF lawsuits.''-

Preparing a Starter.

Oscar Err, in an address before In
diana dairymen, said:
The preparation of a starter is as
follows: Select three or four pint
jars of the best milk that comes to
the creamery, or, where opportunity
affords, select the milk from several
good cows; cover these jars and set
them away in a warm place until the
milk has coagulated. From these
select the one that has developed the
best sharp, acid taste, free from dis
agreeable odors and gas bubbles, and
that shows a solid curd- A can of
skim milk should then be heated to
temperature not exceeding IT'S deg
F. for twenty minutes and cooled to
rs or 80 deg. F. The selected jar of
milk is then added, and, after thor
oughly mixing, the can is set in
place where the temperature can be
kept at rs or 80 deg. F. for twenty-four
hours A wooden tank, large enough
to hold seven or eight times the
amount of water occupied by the
starter can answers the purpose well
for keeping this starter at a uniform
temperature for long time. The en-
tire amount of the starter should be
soured at the end of this period and
apparently of the same flavor as that
of the original selected jar The
starter is now ready for use, and an
amount equal to or 8 per cent of
the cream to be ripened is added. By
adding one or two quarts daily to
fresh pasteurized milk it can be per-
petuated to the extent of eight to ten
days, depending on the cleanliness and
the care taken in pasteurizing the
skim milk.
This method of preparing starter
invariably brings good results. Quite
often, however, simpler methods are
proposed for preparing starters, such
as leaving some cream in the vat and
running the fresh cream with it, or
by adding buttermilk to the cream;
but these cannot be recommended, for
they too often fail in producing the
desired flavor.

for ten minutes when we heard some
one come running down the road like

It Depends on the Person.

9. S. Greene: Only in recent years
has poultry keeping taken its place
among recognized industries, as the
bulk of the worlds enormous supply
of poultry and eggs has hitherto come
from numerous small producers The
number of people who make a living
out of the business are Comparatively
few compared with the small producer,
but they are increasing rapidly, and
to one who is naturally adapted to
the business it is the most pleasant
and profitable employment upon which
he can enter. 1t is true that many
have failed when they tried to keep
poultry in large numbers. So they
have in other pursuits. II merchant,
through his lack OF ability, or because
he is in a bad location, is obliged to
close his store and hand the keys over
to the sheriff, it is not saying that
there is no money in the mercantile
business. So it is with poultry. 1t all
depends on the man, and his ability
to make money. The poultry business
is not one for children or invalids. but
men and women are both making a
success of it, and find it pleasant and
profitable vocation. To make the
business success a person must be
an expert in the management of fowls.
While 1t is true that. many have
started before they became experts
and made a success of it, they have
been willing to begin in a small way
and grow in the business as their
knowledge of the business increased.

From the Farmers Review: The
American Royal Live Stock Show to
be held at Kansas City. Mo-. next Oc-
tober will be much more comprehen-
sive than any live stock show ever
before held in that city. At a meeting
of the executive committee April 2, 1t
was decided to admit the sheep breed
ers and breeders of draft and coach
horses to the show. This will insure
a larger. variety of purebred animals
than was ever shown here before There
will be Hereford, Shorthorn, Galloway
and Angus cattle, at least four breeds of
swine, four or five breeds of sheep,
Angora goats, and several breeds of
draft and coach horses. The show Will
be held at the stock yards October
1924 inclusive. Prizes aggregating
$25,000 will be offered and it is ex-
pected that a number of special prizes
will be added. At the meeting
it was decided that the sale of Gallo
ways would be held on Tuesday, Aber-
deen-Angus on Wednesday, Herefords
on Thursday and Shorthorns on Fri
day. 1t was also decided to offer the
prizes donated by the Kansas City
Stock Yards Company, aggregating 81,
900, for exhibits of grade feeders, to
be divided equally among the four
breeds Range-bred feeders will not
compete with corn-fed animals. 1t
was recommended that the 9Sth meri-
dian be adopted by the several breeds
as the dividing line between the range
bred cattle and the native corn-fed cat
tie. The directors of the show were
Unanimous in inviting the swine breed
ers to participate in the show. Swine
associations that wish to enter the
show must signify their intention to
do so by July L. 1t is practically set
tied that the Berkshire, Poland-China,
Duroc-Jersey and Ohio Chester White
associations will participate. Breeders
of coach and draft horses have signi-
fed their desire to enter the show, and
have given assurances that they will
make a large exhibit. One firm of
breeders and importers of draft horses
has expressed its intention of entering
80 animals. Those who attended the
meeting of April were: c. E. Leon
ard, Bellair, Mo-, president; T. J.
WornaH, Liberty, Mo-, secretary and
treasurer; Charles r. Thomas, Chi
cago, general manager; B. o. Cowan,

Hog Houses.

Prof. R. s. Shaw of the Montana Ex-
pertinent Station has this to say on
hog houses:
Various improvised and inexpensive
shelters are being used in this state,
from the dugout in the hillside to the
pole shelter covered with straw and
the building made of logs. While any
of these may provide shelter during
the milder portion of the year, their
use can in no wise prove satisfactory
throughout. They are too apt to be
dark, damp, filthy and drafty The
pole structure with a straw covering
may be used as a temporary shelter or
for sleeping quarters of for feeding
hogs during the milder season, but for
breeding quarters their use cannot
be recommended. The log building is
in most common use. Its greatest
fault is its inability to retain the
chinking- As a result the structure
soon becomes open and drafty- A
properly planned and well constructed
frame building gives the best results
Its use is almost absolutely necessary
where winter breeding is practiced.
The building site should be high and
dry, so that surface water. viii drain
away at all times. If possible the To-
cation should be in close proximity 10
the small fields that are to produce the
forage crop. If a natural water sup
ply can be diverted so as to Eass
through the yards SO much the better.
1t is desirable that the hog house
should face the south, and that each
pen should open into small enclosure
fenced of, preferably with wire net
ting By this means when a number OF
sows are confined with young pigs dur
ing the winter season they can have
access TO protected, sunny yards
