Latest i'm Linen Collars.

Stiff linen collars are acquiring more
wonderful shapes each week, indicat,
ing a large reserve of ingenuity among
their OriginatOrS- Some of the latest
and also the prettiest-are designed
with the idea of dispensing altogether
with the supplementary bow or tie,
therefore, little. V-shaped extensions
in front, the fastening, of course, be-
ing effected at the back. Eminently
original is one composed of alternate
rows of the white linen and lattice
work the latter threaded through the
velvet ribbon to match the frock or
blouse, and tied in graduated bows in
front, while another, embroidered with
a heavy raised pattern in threadwork,
boasted a triangular empiecement in
front as a substitute for the tie.

An experienced housekeeper says
that fork is superior to knife for
cutting a steamed pudding or hot
cake. 1t separates without making

Do not turn griddle cakes more than
once, or they will be heavy. For the
same reason, serve with the same
side up as when removing them from
the griddle.
Kerosene is an excellent insecti-
eide. Applied literally about the

Keeping Milk.

AS a result of some experiments in
keeping milk, Professor Conn, of the
Connecticut station, publishes the fol-
lowing conclusions:
Variations in temperature have a
surprising influence upon the rate of
multiplication of bacteria. At SO de-
grees these Organisms may multiply
only fve-fold in twenty-four hours,
while at 70 degrees they may multi
ply seven hundred and tifty-fo1d
Temperature has a great influence
upon the keeping property of milk
Milk kept at 95 degrees cheat of the
cows body) will curdle in eighteen
hours, while the same milk kept at 20
degrees will not curdle for forty-eight
hours, and if kept at SO degrees, the
temperature of an ice chest, may
sometimes keep without curdling for
two weeks or more.
So far as the keeping property of
milk is concerned, the matter of tenn
perature is of more significance than
the original contamination of the milk
with bacteria
Milk preserved at so degrees or
lower will keep sweet for a long time,
but it becomes filed with bacteria of
a more unwholesome type than those
that grow at higher temperatures. Old
milk is not fit for market, even though
it be perfectly sweet.

Diseardins Poor Animals.

One of the hardest things for a
young breeder to do is to discard
animals that are not up to the stand
ard for breeding purposes. There are
always buyers for pure-bred animals
at a fair price. 1t matters not if the
animal in inferior. it will often COM
mand enough to tempt the breeder to
part with it. Here is where a great
many breeders tear down their repu-
tation while they are trying to build
it up. Inferior breeding stock sold to
somebody has lived to vex many a
man who thought he was getting rid
of his culls to advantage. 1t requires
courage to send pure-bred animals to
slaughter, but it pays when they are
not the kind to keep. The safe and
eventually the profitable plan is to
sell good animals and keep better
ones and breed best ones.-Thomas
McFarlane.

Preparing for the Calf.

To get best results in rearing calves
attention must be given to the moth
ers OF the calves previous to birth.
A good dairyman will supply his COWS
with wholesome and nutritious feeds
In abundance. This is necessary for
best results at the pail as well as for
the best development of the calf.
Highest yields of milk and butter fat
and the best calves are usually OBJ
tained from cows that go dry six to
eight weeks before ca1ving. If it is
impossible to dry the COW without in
1uring the udder, continuous milking
should be practiced says Prof.
ID. H. Otis. A dry COW on
good pasture with plenty of shade and
water will need very little attention,
except to see that she is not annoyed
or injured by other cattle. Sometimes
heavy mixers on luxuriant pastures
will be stimulated to produce too
much milk prior TO calving, in which
case the supply of feed should be re-
duced. On dry feed the cows should
be kept in good condition, though not
too fat. When alfalfa or clover hay
is available, little or no grain is neces-
sary. Ensilage and roots are espec-
cially desirable for the COWS at this
time. When grain is used a mixture
of two-thirds bran and one-third oil
meal is excellent. Soy beans make
a good substitute for oil meal The
object is to keep the bowels loose.
ALI these points have an important
bearing on the health of the COW and
consequently on the condition and
health of the calf, before and after
birth If the cow is sick when the
calf is born the milk is liable to be
affected in way to injure the calf
seriously.

WAKEENEY, KAN, SATURDAY, .GIvLERP


In the housing and general care of
dairy cows no foreign country shows,
as a rule, in general practice, any
methods or conditions better than
those of America, writes Henry E. Al
word in the Year Book of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. The average
conditions everywhere are bad enough,
with opportunities for very great i'm
provement; but. such improvement is
being made as rapidly in this country
as anywhere. Nowhere else is there
a better appreciation of the import
ance and economy of abundant room,
light, air. dryness, comfort, and clean
nnesS for cows. One hears much OF
the close relations between the dairy
cows and the families of their owners
in Holland and Switzerland, connect
ing apartments, under the same roof,
etc.; but the stables which are seen
in summer, converted into conserva-
tories and rooms for weaving and
cheese curing are the exceptional and
show places. Even the best of these,
when visited in midwinter, with the
cattle In place, are often found dark,
close, ill-ventilated. crowded, and un-
sanitary In many respects. although
frequently kept clean. The construc-
ton of cow stables generally in the
dairy regions of the Old World is Of
a substantial kind, but with little re-
gard to light and ventilation, conven-
1ence OF arrangement, or ease in clean
ing. The labor necessary to keep
them in decent condition would be re-
garded as impossible in this country.
The COW houses of Denmark average
the best of all in Europe, but they are
no better in any respect than the av-
erage of those in the distiuc1vely
dairy districts of this country, kaad
there is here far more regard Ear econ
omy OF labor in management.

Preserve Soil Moisture.

To have two or three inches OF the
surface soil mixed with the decayina
vegetable matter makes for us the
very best possible sponge for holding
the frequent showers, until such time
as the growing plants can make use of
it. Here again the manure heap
teaches US an important lesson, for
it will be the last place to dry out, and
as the water is the medium by which
plant food is conveyed from the soil
to the plants this is a benefit worthy
of our consideration. Many people be-
Heve there is quite enough moisture
in the soil in the spring to nourish
an average crop, providing it is all
preserved and not allowed to eyapor-
ate. The movement of water In the
soil is due to sympathetic nature, or
the capillary attraction that one par
ticle of earth has for another. Sup
pose the particles of soil be as grains
of wheat in bin, and if one grain
be dry and it's neighbor be saturated,
this sympathetic nature or capillary
attraction will bring about a unifor-
nifty, and in this way the water will
continue to move from the saturated
particles below to the dry ones above
in proportion as the grains of soil are
closely packed to each other, and will
rise right to the surface if not checked
and be evaporated by the heat Of the
sun. Now, if we, by having two or
three of 1ooser soil mixed with the
manure to keep it open at the sur
face, to check this evaporation, and at
place where the roots of the plants
are searching for moisture, they will
have the first chance to use it. This
is very nicely explained and under
stood by the rise of oil in a lamp
wick. If within little of the top the
texture of the wick be broken or
looser the oil will not rise to feed the
flame as readily, but will rise to where
the wick is broken just as well. But
when all is said and done. the i'm
portant thing for each farmer is TO
have his mind impressed with the
conditions and requirements of his
own particular farm, anG his own par
ticular fields, for different soils need
vastly and entirely different treat
ment. For instance, we might p1ow
down coat of rough, strawy manure
into a stiff clay soil with advantage,
while with a light, black loan we
had better let it rot in some other
place.-James McFadyean.

Why Some Chicks Die.

During November, 1900, lot of
fifty eight chicks was hatched for 9TH
er experimental work, and, this having
been concluded, the chicks were placed
in an outdoor brooder. Within three
weeks all but five had died. The cause,
as determined from the post-mortem
evidence, was found to be diseases
due to the inclement weather which
prevailed at that time. The severity
of the change between the brooder and
that prevailing outside gave to the
larger number of the young chicks
lung diseases from which they never
recovered. Among these may be men,
toned one of the first steps in pneu-
monia, which gave an appearance OF
the tuberc1es, which possibly have
been heretofore called tuberculosis,
implying that the bacillus tuberculosis
was their cause. These tubercles
within few days passed through
their various stages into cheesy de-
generation, and in the more chronic
cases seemed to be in process OF re-
pair when the animal died. Other
chicks died Of congestion of the lungs,
others seemed to die of intestinal trou-
Dles, probably brought about by the
same causes. I noted also that the
chicks did not seem to exercise proper
judgment in their selection of the food
presented to them. Some ate it too
coarse; others devoured coarse, fb-
rous roots; others seemed to have no
grit in their gizzards with which to
grind the grain.-Rhode Island Expert
ment Station Report.
The hen house should be located on
dry ground, and the soil, If clayey,

Raising the Pias.

Damp bedding is bad for pigs. It
should be dry and made from we'll
cured straw or hay. The little pigs
should have lots of sunshine if they
are to be expected to grow well and be
healthy. 1t requires some planning to
construct a light brood house for
dozen or more sows. especially if they
are to farrow in winter, but it must
be done if we are to have success in
raising the pigs. Sunshine may be
regarded as one of the essentials. A
cold draft on pigs is very destructive
and is one of the great causes of NOR
tality among winter pigs. In the win
ter exercise must be given. One man
saws he does this by turning out the
brood SOW and chasing the little pigs
about in the pen.
