Cold Storage Plants.

There has been quite Juror for
the building Of cold storage plants
during the last few years. Some
years ago men made fortunes by
erecting cold storage plants and buy
ing quantities Of butter and eggs,
which were carried from the low
priced period of the year to the high,
priced period. This Of course gave
large profits. AS was certain to be
the case, other men saw the same
method of getting rich and began to
build like plants. This was all right
for some years, while the number OF
plants was small enough so that the
goods stored would not greatly at.
feet the market. But the building
continued, and now the products
stored compete SO strongly with each
other that the margin of difference OF
prices at different times Of year is
greatly reduced. Reports from New
Jersey tell Of a new cold storage
plant at Jersey City, which was built
last year at a cost of 100000. The
establishment was perfect in every
detail and the promoters expected
great things. But they were unable
to secure business and the enterprise
went into the hands of a receiver.
The plant was offered for sale at
auction, with the proviso that not less
than $4,000 would be taken. Not a
bid was received

Good Heifers from Good Cows.

No really good mixer should be

vided 1t is possible to breed her to
dairy bull of good milking strain.
Every farmer should make an attempt
to raise enough first-class heifers for
his own use, and to do this he will
have to refuse to listen to the voice Of
the tempter when he has the oppor-
tunity to let 60 of his best mich
COW for few more dollars than the
next best would bring. In the light Of
mother that COW is worth more to
him than she is to the man that in
tends to buy her, milk her for a few
months and send her to the butcher.
1t is bad policy to try to buy cows
from others. One never knows what
he is getting in such case. 1t takes
time for a man to learn that the COW
he bought has faults, and during the
time he is finding this out he may be
losing money. Heifers raised on the
place are of more interest to the farm
er and his family than are the cows
that are purchased from no one knows
whom.

important Part Of Education In the
Land Of Cherry Blossoms.
A nice little Japanese woman who
came to this country recently brought
with her One of the most important
Of the educational works upon which
she was brought up--this Is her boob
Of flowers. Japenese women are be-
ing better educated now, but hereto
fore they have been taught little but
the etiquette Of the country, what was
necessary for them to know concern
ing household duties, a little music
to strum little on the samisen-and
the arrangement of flowers. This last
is IMPORTANT in country where a
single branch does duty for what an
American would require big bpquet,
and where the cherry trees are
cultivated not for their fruit, but for
the beautiful blossoms. She is an
ignorant damsel indeed who cannot
make a poem of single branch Of
any towering plant at her command.
It is to illustrate for her how this
IS to be done that the flower book
is necessary. 1t is a pamphlet Of 81
pages with a flexible blue cover, the
title being on. the right-hand corner.

some kinds of fruit, but it would not
be for others. There are some Of our
varieties that injure SO easily that
even the pressure Of the thumb and
finger must be looked out for. Be-
sides, in the letting fall Of apples from
the top of the tree a great deal
skill is required not to hit the other
apples in the tick or the limbs of the
tree when the apples are being
dropped. The apple basket and the
apple bag will be found most advan.

OIL ON rRousLEn WATERS.
Wind Unable to Obtain a Grip on the
Greasy Surface.


A few gallons Of oil cast upon
stormy seas moderates their violence,
and prevents the waves from break
iLg with force. That this is the case
has long been known. Theophylactes,
the Byzantine historian of the sixth
century, propounded the question.
why does oil calm the sea?" and
answered 1t to the effect that, as the
wind Is subtle and delicate thing.
and oil is adhesive and unctuous, the
wind glides over the surface of the
water on which oil has been spread
and cannot raise waves. The wind, in
fact, slips over the water without be-
int able to obtain grip.
In the Gulf of Mexico there is re-,
markable stretch Of water about twol
miles long by three-quarters Of mile
bread, to which the name Of "oil-spot"
has been given, because in the worst
of storms the mariner finds still water
here. Its character as a safe harbor
o. refuge is said to be due to an oily
property Of the mud stirred up by the
storm.

A Christmas Gift.

Down in Kankakee county, Illinois,
lives d farmer who has two boys in
the agricultural college. They have
become imbued with the idea that
agricultural science is the science
that leads all others. They have
learned enough about soils and fer
tilizers to know that the lands of their
father need potassium in some form
to make it yield good crops. Last De-
cember they determined to make their
father Christmas present and cast
about them for suitable gift. They
concluded that ton of potassium
chloride would be just the thing, and
proceeded to get together the money
and buy it. A ton Of this kind Of
fertilizer cost them $50. The fertilizer
was used on the land this spring and
is giving promise of great things.

The calf that is to be used for the
making of baby beef must be kept
growing from the start. II the calf
cannot he so fed on skimmilk that it's
growth will not be checked, then It
should have whole milk till weanins
time. A slow-growing animal is Of
little value to be used as a basis for
the production Of this kind of beef
that is now becoming SO popular. The
calf must be carefully weaned. It will
not do to take 1t of a full feed Of milk
and put it onto grain and roughage at
once. This process must be 80 gradual
that the calf will not realize It when
it, milk is finally withheld.

The contents are read, as in all Japa-
nese books, from right to left. The
first cover page is red with large
black letters, four pages after that
are devoted to text and the rest Of;
the book is given up to the illustra-
tons.
Each page shows a flower in some
kind Of low jar or tall vase and rest
ing upon graceful stand, some high
and others very low, all more or less
graceful in shape, delicate in outline,
and, as a rule. with curving legs.
These repeat the curves Of the flower
stalk which outline half circles,
curves with which we are familiar
in this country in the more exag-
gerated outlines of the Japanese
miniature trees.
On each page is little text, poem
appropriate for the illustration. Wall
panels are in the background with
their decorations of storks and the
Japanese sacred mountain showing
the general decorations Of room.
