An experienced stockman says:
Very thin and very fat hefers are
alike undesirable for breeding pur-
poses: what is desired is good condi.
ton without running to either ex-
treme. In regard to the age at which
the heifer should be bred, much de-
pends on the development of the ami
NAL. II the heifer is small or backward
in any way, it is advantageous to de-
lay breeding two or three months, but
it will rarely be found advisable to
delay breeding later than twenty-four
months, as longer delay may make
it difficult to get some heifers in calf.
Great caution should be observed in
using q heavy bull upon young heifers
for fear of serious injury to the heifer.
When once safe in calf all that is re-.
quired is good feed and care till near
calving time, which brings US back to
our starting point. Everything should
be done to develop the milking quail.

Pope, flushing up witA Ayudden excite
ment and wrestling tnS glass out of
Crystals hand. What does the idiot
mean by holding on?"
He applied the glass to his eye. The
Dutch frigate under a full press was
sweeping through it grandly. Could
it be imagined that the pursuing boat
would attempt to pass under those
thunderous bows! The naval officer
steering the boat might have been in
sane with resolution not to deviate
from the path Of pursuit. The rowers
had their backs upon the danger; the
others were not there to deliver COM
mands; SO that all in a second 1t was
too late. The six oars sparkled as
they rose in tragic arrest under the
bows of the sweeping ship. On board
the Oak they saw a number Of men
running on the frigate's forecastle.
Through the glass Pope spied her peo-
pie struggling for life in the frigate's
wake.
That" he cried, pointing with the
telescope to the white water astern
Of the frigate, was her reason for
bringing up in Margate Roads last
night"
"Ay," said Crystal, hang me if
there isn't even Providence for
pirates" and he and Pope laughed
with al their might.
The Dutchman measured score of
her own lengths before she backed
her topsail and lowered boats. Five
men only were picked up, and they
were too exhausted to explain the er-
rand they had been upon. In fact, it
was doubtful if the Dutchman would
have understood them. The frigate
remained hoveto, while one of the
boats put the English seamen ashore
at Broadstairs; by which time the
Oak, unnoticed by the seventy-four,
had fetched the southern limb of the
Goodwin Sands, when, easing off her
sheets. she went away for the French
coast.

exclaimed Pope, after turning his
head.
She was coming down Channel on

as she drew clear of the Foreland.
whats that?' suddenly exclaimed
Crystal, and Madison, who had come
on deck, cried out. They're a-chasing
of us!"
Both he and Crystal looked toward
Broadstars, and thither Pope directed
his eyes, where, without aid of a glass
lie might see what should prove
six-oared galley sweeping from the
little pier-end. Her oars sparkled
swiftly.
"The glass;" he roared.
Madison grasped the tiller while
the Captain looked. There were others
in that boat than those who pulled

caught sight of the CLINT of bayonets.
She was coming along as steadily
swift as the rapid determined pulse
of the long and bending lines Of fash

stood like frost at her bows, and the
foam rushed aft as though she had
been driven by a propeller

seaboard. and they mingled with many
4eaning shafts of canvass heading out
of the Downs. There was a spirit in
the freshening Of the wind, and the
Oak snored as she drove through it.
All along the horizon to port were the
Goodwin Sands. They were brilliant
now with creaming lines Of yeast,
and the yellow shoal showed firm
surface upon which you could have
played football.
They're bound to give up; that

Crystal, after few minutes of silence
during which he had been watching

which may be said to begin with this.
September the 30th, some time be-

In the midst Of this scene a little

To the Bay of Campeachy! So it

She had sailed down the river armed
with four carronades of side, a long
gun on her forecastla. and a stern
chaser, twelve pourder. She was
therefore a little formidable with ar

Dairy Utensils.

From Farmers Review:-The uteE-
sils used by dairymen are often simply
rinsed, the milk remaining in the
seams and corners and more or less
over the whole surface. When in
such condition if they are allowed to
stand in a warm place bacteria will
develop in them very rapidly, SO that
by the time Of the next milking a
good crop will be ready to take pos
session of the new milk. Often when
utensils are washed they are not prop
erly rinsed and the water together
with the cloths used in washing and
wlping are heavily loaded with bac-
terra SO that after the utensils are to
all appearances clean they may even
yet be covered with a layer of bac-
terra. They should be rinsed first
with cold or luke warm water, not hot
as this coagulates the albumen of the
milk, causing it to adhere to the yes
sci. After rinsing they should be
washed in hot water using some clean
ing substance as soap or salsOda, again
rinsed and sterilized thoroughly either
by means of steam or boiling water
not blow on them. Fresh milk is easily
removed but il allowed to become dry
or sour it is difficult to get off. If the
utensils cannot be cleaned imme-
diately after using, fill them with
water to prevent drying. Utensils
should be heavily timed and should
be discarded as soon as the tin is
worn off: the fewer seams the better,
and what there are should be filed
with solder, leaving no place for dirt
to collect. Wooden pals cannot be
properly cleaned. Cans in which milk
is hauled to the factory should be
washed and sterilized at the factory
and the skim milk returned in other
vessels. Milk cans should not be tight
ly closed when put away, for the free
circulation Of the air will keep them
dry and prevent the growth Of germs.

Enough to Enjoy Joke.
The eighty-third birthday of Mr..

neither tact nor knowledge of men
sufficient wherewi4h to clothe his i'm

Danish Dairy Cattle.

We may very properly inquire
whether there are cattle In other
countries which would improve our
dairy herds or be valuable acquisi
ton to the variety we now possess.
Although others may hold different
views, it is the belief of the writer
that the only countries to which any
attention can protitably be given in
this connection are Denmark, France,
and Switzerland. The first named
furnishes the best example in the
world of dairying as national spec
ialty, of rapid development, and OF
present high average production and
excellence Here We find the Red
Danish cattle to be the standard stock.
and very satisfactory business cows
they are, of pronounced dairy type.
But they lack uniformity except in
color, particularly in udder develop
ment and other dairy points, and in
the show ring the very best of them
could not hopefully compete with the
best of any one of the four leading
dairy breeds of this country. AS dairy
performers they are good, but not re-
markable; the best yearly records the
writer has seen show an average pro-
duction of 5000 to $500 pounds OF
milk per COW, in herds of II to ~
animals of all ages, with an average
fat content of about 3A per cent, an
equivalent of 800 to 1925 pounds OF
butter per year. A very celebrated
herd of 70 cows averaged 1850 pounds
of milk year. In Jutland there is
distinctively dairy race of sharply de-
fined black and white markings in ap-
pearance reminding one of Holland
cattle, and still more Of Brittanies, al
though between these two races in
size. They are very attractive cows.
Of rather less than medium size, and
excellent mixers. Both these races
of Danish cattle may be credited with
being economical producers; yet none
of them are wanted here, for super
lative excellence seems to be lacking
on the one hand, while on the other
they appear predisposed to tubercu-
losis and very generally tainted with
this insidious and dread disease

Profits in Sheep,

In the management of sheep, how to
produce the greatest profit from the
flock is the first consideration; not
how to produce the greatest number
Of lambs, as is usually the case with
the young shepherd, but to produce an
animal that will give the greatest
profit for the labor and expense in
volved. We will suppose that the
shepherd has secured his flock OF ewes
in the fall. What breed? Well, that
is matter of fancy; any of the good
breeds will do, so long as they have
been judiciously selected. The next
and greatest consideration would be
the selection of ram. He should
be big, strong and rugged, and, above
all things. typical Of his breed and
full Of quality. The eve Influences
only her own progeny, the ram the
whole flock, and on him depends its
Improvement or retrogression. A
strong shearling or older ram Is ca
pable Of serving from so to 70 ewes,
or more, according to treatment II
he has only so ewes, he may be al
lowed to run with the flock, and fed
night and morning. If from SO to 100

only allowed one service OF each eve.
night and morning. as they come in
season. 1t is good plan to mark the
rams breast v ith lamp black mixed
with oil, and in ten or fifteen days
change the color. The ewes ruunp IS
thus marked, and according to the
color the time Of lambing is calcu-
lated-A. d. Gamley.

Subsoilinq Query.

From the Farmers Review: will it
do any good to use subsoil plow on a
subsoil that will hold water? How
deep should the plowing be? What is
the best time Of year to do the work?
The soil is upland and in Oklahoma
Joseph Blodgen, Oklahoma.
The query was submitted to Prof.
John Fields, director of the Oklahoma
Experiment Station. at Saltwater, Ok,
who replies as follows:
l gather from the inquiry that the
soil in question is underlaid with a
tough subsoil through which water
penetrates very poorly. The soil Of
the Experiment Station farm is very
similar in character and experiments
with sub-soiling conducted several
years ago showed that the results did
not warrant continuance Of the extra
labor of subsoling. The better plan
seems to be to plow such land quite
deeply, at least to inches, and give
it thorough cultivation before plant
ing or seeding crop. Such methods of
preparation result in excellent yields
Of wheat if the plowing is done early
but if plowng is delayed until late in
the fall, deep plowing usually results
in smaller yields than shallow blowing.
I would not advise subsoiling such
land for ordinary farm crops.

The Usual Siunal,

When Baby Alice tirst saw COW
with a bell around its neck she
thought it so funny that nothing could
induce her to leave the spot. She stood
watching the COW until it slowly
walked away. Then, when the bell
began to ring, she turned delightedly
to her mother, exclaiming. "Oh, Mama!
does the COW ring the bell when she
wants the calf to come to supper?"-
