DAIRY FARM MANAGEMENT
Some Things That Are Absolutely
Necessary to Make the Business
Success. ~ y

There are several things essential to
success In dairying: First, good cows:
second, good utensils; third. good
mixers and careful handling of the
COWS with balanced ration. AS to
COWS, from my limited experience in
dalrylng, 1 consider a cross between a
Holstein and a Shorthorn a very good

particular separator, but think that
the kind that separates is the one for
me. do not like those that are called
"separators," but are only cream rails

separators.

all the ice We wanted in caring for the
milk from 16 cows.
Above everything else, be ALWAYS
clean In your milking, and have every
thlng clean and sweet that in any way
comes in contact with milk or cream
or butter.
COWS should be carefully handled al
ways. A COW that is giving milk
snould never be made to run or be IN
any way worried. The better care a
COW has, all things considered, the
more profitable she will be. Have a
good barn for both winter and sum-
mer. The barn that is good for win
ter is all right to milk in in summer.
Now as to feed. A good pasture in
summer, with little dry fed, gives a
balanced ration near enough for gooc

grain part, and clover hay for the bal

CHAPTER XVII.
II HAVE NO RIGHT; AM A PIRATE.


~:~ Capt Bonnet, of the Re
venge, was punctilious
man when the rules of society were
concerned, be that society official,
high-toned or piratical. Thus it was
positive duty, in his mind, to re-
turn Blackbeard's visit on the next
day, but until afternoon he was not
able to do so on account of the diff

behaved boats crew who should row
him over.
Black Paul, the sailing-master, had
returned to his vessel early in the
morning, feeling the necessity of keep
ing watch over the cargo, but most of
the men came over much later, while
some of them did not come at all.
Bonnet was greatly inclined to pun
ish with an unwonted severity this
breach of rules, but Black Paul assured
him that it was always the custom for
the crew of newly arrived vessel to
go ashore and have a good time, and
that If they were denied this privilege
they would be sure to mutiny, and he
might be left without any, crew at all.
Bonnet grumbled and swore, but, al
he was aware there were several

TREASURES ON THE ROAD.
Odd Hiding Places Contrived by
Travellers for Their VAL
uables.

It is an old joke about the secret
hiding places women have for their
money when travelling, but no better
ways have been discovered for keeping
money safe than to tuck it away in the
front of the blouse or slip it in q bag
hung at the waist and worn under the
dress skirt. A purse that fastens to
the belt is well enough for the day
time, but at night the travelled woman
wants some place more secure than her
pillow or a spot under the mattress.
One ingenious girl has made herself a
set of washable linen cases that are like
two compartments of pocketbook
only one is smaller than the other and
may be slipped inside the larger one.
Checks, bills, drafts or even gold may
be tucked away in the smaller COM
partment, and this In turn folded neat
ly into the larger one, and the whole
fastened round with white linen tape
that is long enough to 60 over the head,
One advantage in these linen cases is
that they can be washed after each trim
and are always fresh for another. To
be very elegant one might have ones
initials embroidered on the outside OF
the case or ones name and address
could be worked on It. Longer recep-
tacles intended to hold check book
credentials, and letters of credit are
also made of white linen, bound with
linen tape. More elaborate ones are
made OF moire silk, hand-painted and
bound with narrow satin. ribbon. They
are lined with plain tatfeta and look
very handsome, but I doubt II. they will
give the service of the palmer linen
ones, and I am sure they will not be 50

OLD Beliefs ABOUT HONEY
It Was Supposed to Be of Celestial Or
igin and Specific for
Human Ills.

Many quaint delusions prevailed in
0lden times about verything relating to
the bee and honey. The source and COM
position ofhoney we're subjects for many
ingenious speculations.
Belief in the celestial origin of honey
runs through all the old treatises on
agriculture, from Virgil down. 1t was
supposed to be q kind of mama from
Heaven, and its quality depended greatly
on. the favorable or unfavorable juxta-
position of the stars at the time of its
descent.
The existence in each hive of one bee
much larger than all the others was
generally recognized, but it was believed
to be merely ruler or king over the rest.
That this large bee was actually the
queen Of the whole colony never seemed
to have occurred to any one until recent
times. -. - go - <~*
I The situation of the bee hive was in old
times matter of Importance. It was
placed always on the south side Of q
stream Of water and never in place
where there were echoes. as an echo was
held to be Injurious to bees.
Honey appears to have been held in
extraordinary. favor as q universal spe-
cihc for human Ills. It was largely rec
commended as hair restorer. - 50

Good Whitewash for Trees

In the New England states white
wash is frequently applied to fruit
trees, especially apple trees. and
seems to have the effect of keeping
of fungus and insect pests. Tho
vhitewash as used there is generally
made by simply slaking the lime with
cold water. But it would be bette.
to slake the lime with hot water. It
may be made to stick better by adding
some SKINNED milk. Some even heat
some glue and when it has become q
thin liquid dilute it with hot water
and add it to the wash. This stiu
further helps the sticking quality.

WEDDING CAKES OF ROYALTY
Some Of the Most Remarkable Con-
fections Ever Made Were Among
the Jubilee Gifts.

Royal etiquette demands that the chief
wedding cakes throughout Europe be
made in the royal kitchens. All the rest
are received as gifts, except in unusual
cases, when orders are sent out so that
the royal confectioners may be relieved
from undue stress of work, says the
New York Herlad. When Queen VIC
toria was married quantity was in de-
mand rather than elegance of design.
Over a hundred cakes were made, and
after the wedding was over hundreds of
choppers were engaged under the head
OF the chief clerk of the kitchen in cut
ting the cakes to pieces: and putting
them into dainty boxes, which we're for
warded to the master Of the house hold.
This functionary in his turn distributed
them in accordance with a list furnished
him by Lord Chamberlain, to her ma
jesty's messengers, who bore then to the
various courts of Europe and other high
places where a piece of cake was expected
on this OCCASION. "~:.
Messrs. Buzzard, the fashionable
cake-maker of London, made for the
Princess Beatrice a fine specimen OF
their art, for which the royal lady made
her own choice Of flowers. Among these
were lilies and passion flowers in great
confusion. Touches of color were given
to these decorations, but every ounce of
| them was made Of pure, edible sugar,
and was intended to be eaten Some con-
fectioners use a composition over mus
lin for their flowers, but Buzzard prides
himself upon using only sugar AS in
everything else, there is always desire
fornovelty. All the fine cakes made dur
ing the last year were decorated with ma
tural flowers. Proclaim cups perforated
at the top were filed with water, and in
this the stem of the flowers were placed
The most remarkable cakes ever made
were among the gifts at the jubilee cele-
bration. The finest of these stood 13
feet high, weighed quarter of a ton and
cost 81 800. Another figured at the we'd
ding Of the Arctic explorer, Admiral
Markham. On the top was a sugar
model OF H. M. s. Alert, wedged in the
center of an iceberg.
A wedding cake once made for the
Duke Of Albany, stood six feet high and
weighed 200 pounds. = was decorated
with chain of reading cupids, in compli-
ment to his royal highness' literary
taste. The Marchioness Of Lorne's cake
though not-so high. weighed sod pounds
and bore on its summit replica Of a IA
nous piece of statuary. The Duke OF
York's cake was made in the royal kitch-
ems at Windsor. Five weeks were ex-
pended over it and the decorations were
magnificent. They reproduced episodes
in the life of the sailor prince. 1t was
six feet ten inches high and weighed 300
pounds. The Princess MauG's was deco,
rated with wreaths of flowers and tinted
to match nature. All except the leaves
were edible.

which he was not familiar he deter
mined to let pass this trespass.
Dressed in his finest clothes, and
even better than the day before, he
was followed into the boat by Ben
Greenway, who vowed his captain
should never travel without his chap
lain, who, II his words were consid-
cred, would be the most valuable Of
f1cer on the vessel.
Come, then, Greenway," said Bon
net; you have troubled me so much
on my own vessel that now, perchance,
you may be able to do me some service
on that of another. Anyway, l should
like to have at least one decent person
In my train, who, an you come not,
will be wholly missing. And Dickory
may come, too, If he like it."
But Dickory did not like it. He
hated the big black pirate, and cared
not If he should never see him again,
so he stayed behind.
When Bonnet mounted to the deck
of Blackbeard's vessel he found there
very different pirate captain from
the one who had called upon him the
day before. There were no tails to
the great black beard, there were few
pistols visible, and Capt Bonnet's host
received him with q certain. salt
soaked, sun-browned, hairy and
brawny hospitality which did not sit
badly upon him: There was meat,
there was drink, and then the two
captains and Greenway walked grave
ly over the vessel, followed by a hun
dred eyes, and before long by many
a coarse and jeering laugh which Bon
net supposed were directed at sturdy
Ben Greenway, deeming it quite nat
ural, though improper, that the de-
rision of these rough fellows should
be excited by the appearance among
them Of prim and sedate Scotch
Presbyterian. :, -, 'sr.&,
But that crew of miscreants had all
heard Of the der1sive title which had
been given to Bonnet, aud now they
saw without the slightest difficulty
how little he knew of the various
nautical points to which Blackboard
continually called his attention. E
The vessel was dirty, it was ILL
appointed; there was an air Of reck-
less disorder which showed itself
everywhere; but, apart from his evil
dent distaste for dirt and griminess,
the captain of the Revenge seemed
to be very well satisfied with every
thing he saw. When he passed small
gun pointed across the deck, and with
q nightcap hung upon capstan bar
thrust into its muzzle, there was such
3 great laugh that Bonnet looked
around to see what the imprudent
Greenway might be doing. 4
Many were the nautical points to
which Blackboard called his guests
attention and many the questions the
grim pirate asked, but IN almost ali
