The mother will do her boy a great
kindness IL she will teach him when
young to make his bed, darn hole In
his pants, wash bis shirt and under
clothing, sew buttons on his clothes,
make batch of biscuits, broil a piece
Of meat, keep his room in order and
wash dishes. The teaching Of the boy
these homely duties will not in any
manner make girl Of him, but win
rather make of him a smarter and a
better boy a more independent one:
will thus fit him to do much to minister
to his own comfort when he is thrown
upon his own resources or when he has

Will License Butter Makers.
The Montreal Produce Merchants as
ISOLATION has taken very decided
stand in reference to the licensing Of
cheese and butter makers in the prov
ince Of Quebec. 1t has asked the Que
bee government to appoint a commits
sion to examine butter and cheese
makers and issue licenses to competent
men, these licenses to be granted to
such persons as upon careful examina-
ton are found qualified to manufacture
cheese or butter of first class quality.
to judge correctly of the quality and
condition of milk offered by different
patrons and to carry on the business In
such way that the interests of all CON
cerned will be protected.
The association further asks that
the government forbid any person who
does not hold a license to manu-
facture cheese or butter at any factory
at which milk from various patrons is
received and at which the proceeds
from all sales of the products are dis
tributed among the patrons in proper
ton to the quantity or to the quantity
and quality of the milk supplied by
them severally.
An Important Question.
How far can the milk producing ma
chinery of q cow be increased without
a breakdown? is very important ques-
ton to the breeder and dairyman, says
Dairy and Creamery. The wild COW
and the poor COW, with but small udder
capacity, know little of udder troubles,
because the udder, though small, has
the resisting power to disease and the
action of bacteria that all strong, nor
NAL, healthy tissues have. But it re-
quires but little examination of herd
records to see how much time is lost
by udder troubles. Garget, in all its
forms and names, is an ever present
trouble, and the lessened resistance of
a highly developed gland, together
with the increase in number and pO-
tency of the trouble producing bacteria,
Is bringing about a condition that re-
quires careful consideration.
Easily Frightened.
"Mypartner up in New York state, who
Is running our creameries," said w. R.
Boyntonof Boston. wrote to me short
time ago that he feared he would have
to go out of the butter business, as the
farmers were getting crazy about the
feed for their cows. Their pastures
were dried up, their hay crops destroy
I'd, and nobody would be able to keep
cows next winter for the want of hay.
Now that talk is all changed. In his
last letter he did not have one word to-
say about the grass and was sending
along his usual quantity of butter. How
easy 1t is to scare those country PEG
ple.7
The Use of Hand separafOrs.
Indications are that the sale of hand
geparators will increase largely and the
business of gathering cream win conse-
quently expand There are two par
ticular reasons for this. First. there is
no food for young stock that will take
the place of milk at the same cost. and
stock raisers have strong belief that
to feed the skim milk with the animal
heat in it particularly to calves is
the proper thing.

THE POTATO IN GERMANY.
Berlin Exposition Devoted to the
Famous American Tuber.

An exposition is now "on" in Berlin
devoted to showing what can be done
with the potato as human food, as food
for animals and as material for alco-
hol, starch, dextrin. etc. A full account
of it is given in report by Consul
General Mason.
One-eighth of all the arabic land in
Germany is planted to potatoes. For
every 10000 people we plant 3i5 acres.
Great Britain and Ireland 81 acres.
France 9S acres. Germany 16O acres.
The quantity of potatoes raised per
acre is greater in Germany than else
where. 1t has been increased thirty
eight per cent in recent years by men
in spectacles who never touch hoe.
but investigate soil needs.
One-half the potatoes are eaten as
human food, so that Germans must eat
far more potatoes than do other peo-
pies. Prizes are now offered for the
best apparatus for preparing potatoes
for animal food.
DeXtrin and potato starch are famil-
lar everywhere, but potato-a lcohol de
velopments in Germany are thoroughly
up to date. The Daimler Motor Com
pany-the same that makes automo-
biles-built a fifty-horse power engine
run by potato alcohol as fuel for the
Russian marine department, it was
greatly admired by Emperor William.
Lighting apparatus for streets, rooms
and shops and many forms of alcohol
heating stoves are interesting. The ad-
vantages are obvious. No smoke, no
smell no great exhaustion of the air,
comparative cheapness The best lights
are those which pass potato-alcohol
vapor through mantle like the Wells
bach.
Alcohol for commercial purposes
pays neither tariff nor tax in Germany.
The Central Association for alcoholic
distribution sells it at any railroad sta
ton in Germany for from 10 to II cents
a gallon-a cheaper fuel than oil is in
this country under the bepeiicent tar
iff that protects the Standard Oil Com
pany's infant industry"
Motor carriages. even yachts and
small naval vessels can be driven by
potato-alcohol engines.

one hears the country of southern
Louisiana spoken of and SO few really
have seen the beauties of it, and still
1t lies in a most convenient locality,
with several important little cities

its banks. Then again, Longfellow
immortalized the ancient river in his

hold of one, and enthralled by the haze

wandering in scare. of the other, and
the thick underground of palms and
vines obscuring the gaze from the
passer-by. The town itself seems to
have changed but little. settlement,
more or less. The creole French is
spoken in shops and market. Narrow
brick pavements, shaded by galleriesl
are built out to the curb, pavements
always spoken of as "banquettes." The
white chapel with its graveyard, with
two brick oven graves, claimed to be
those of the two romantic lovers, adds
greatly to the impression that you
have stepped out of the busy world
for time and cannot realize that
somewhere electric cars are dashing
through streets or imagine traffic
stopped to allow some scurrying Pc
destrian to edge to a crossing.
