Luka Matveieff, young peasant

tramped to Peterhof, where he haunted
the palace, worried the chamberlains
and finally succeeded in gaining an au-

The czar Immediately ordered the
imprisoned brothers release. Seeing

Little Father?' The eaar smilingly
const nted.
"Will the Little Father take my
father as guard in your train?" pur-
sued The peasant. "lf he is as brave
as you" replied the czar, II think he
will do excellently."
Matveieff turned to go, but remem-

at Brooklyn, N. Y.

II the warships now at the Brooklyn
navy yard in commission could be
transferred to the Russian flag. and
sent to reinforce, or even to form q
new feet in itself at Port Arthur, the
Russian admiralty could hope to say to
the Japanese: THUS far thou hast
gone, but you shall go no farther;
about face, double quick!" And If all
the vessels at the navy yard not in
commission could be made available
for immediate service and given over
to the Russians, the czar would not
feel 1t necessary to order Vice Admiral
Rogstvensky to push his Baltic fleet
around to the Pacific. This suggestion
couples with the conjunction 'if" the
need for the American navy officers
to handle the ships. too.

LITTLE DAIRY POINTERS.


Cream irregularly ripened makes
streaked butter.
Dry salt cannot be worked into dry
butter successfully.
The cows should, be thoroughly ac-
quainted with the mixers.
Never breed "kicky" COW. Your
herd needs cows, not mules.
Soured milk affects the cream injuri-
ously. Get the cream of in time.
Slow milking frets the COW. Hasten
the performance as much as possible.
Never put fine COW in the care of a
poor mixer. The mixer makes or un-
makes the COW.
The manure-coated COW Is q proof
that her owner is In the wrong busi-
ness. He should change occupations.
Scrub cows, on scrub farms, fed on
scrub rations, cared for by scrub per-
sons, produce nondescript milk and but
ter that is hardly good enough for axle
grease.
Fresh cream and ripened cream
mixed will always result in dubious
butter. A mess" of cream in a
churning should be of one degree OF
ripeness throughout.
Dirt in milk makes more undesirable
butter than all the wrong methods OF
working. No perfection of working out
buttermilk and working in salt can se-
cure the proper flavor Of butter from
dirty milk.
Some cows set the dairy marks" oi
the experts at defiance and give large
yields of good milk. All the same, the
good dairy cow should show certain
feature In size, shape and general
make-up.-N Y. Farmer.

TO ATTAIN OLD AGE.
JUST CONSUME LARGE ouANTI-
TIES OF SOUR MILK.
London Professor Believes the Use Of
Fermented Lactsal Fluid II the
Secret Of Longevity Of the
BulgarYans.

According to an interview with Prof
Ellie MetchnikoR, Of the Pasteur insti-
tute Of London, the nearest approach
to the elixir Of life is sour milk.
Anyone desiring to attain ripe old
age is recommended by the professor
to follow the example of the Bulgari-
ans, noted for their longevity, and
consume large quantities Of this cheap
and easily obtained beverage.
Sour milk, says M. Metchnikoff, con-
tains a large bacillus remarkable for
the great quantity Of tactic acid 1t 10
capable Of producing. This micr0be
does not exist normally in the human
body, but can be introduced with very
great benefit to health. as It preys ON
the hundreds Of thousands Of microbes
which infest the large intestine.
II has been noted that there 10 .
great similarity between old age and
disease. A study Of certain diseases
has proved that there is no difference
between the mechanism Of seuile
atrophy caused by microbe or poi-
son. In fact. on the approach Of old
age a veritable battle is waged in the
innermost parts OF the body.
Research is therefore being prose-
cuted to discover means of strength
ening the vital elements of the body
on the one hand. and to weaken The
aggressive tendency Of the harmful
microbes on the other. When this end
has been attained the professor hopes
to be able to prolong life considerably
beyond the present average.
Meanwhile, copious draughts Of sour
milk should form 4 part of the diet
of the would-be Methuselah.

LeveLINo THE SEED BED.
Here's a Drag That Levels Two or
Three Times as Fast as the
Harrow Pulverizer.

It is a common practice among wheat
growers to drill wheat in the plowed
ground, unharrowed and unpulverized.
Some of the seed is covered two or
three times deeper than other by this
method. The ground. no matter how
loose, should be level in order that
correct drilling can be done. Ground
that breaks up cloddy should be disked
narrowed with an A-harrow after a
rain or rolled. preferably when the
ground has enough moisture to crum-
BILE the clods.
Much land only needs leveling. In
this case put 2x6 oak plank, q b, IL

PLANK FASTENED IN DhAG.
IA or 16 feet long. between the third
or fourth set Of teeth from the back
of an A-harrow so that 1t extends
evenly on each side for several feet.
The top Of this plank should be in
clined toward the front. which posi-
ton can be maintained by fastening
triangular timber on the upper edge
of the plank directly between the teeth
and bolting to the harrow frame.
This device levels two or three times
as fast as the harrow pulverizes the
surface and is very satisfactory even
in stumpy and rocky ground Some
farmers use long pole or rail instead
of plank. Whatever you use, be sure

| am incloslng short item for Club
Notes, which may prove to be of value
10 some of the Home Health Club
readers. 1t is really too bad that in
spite OF the modern training afforded
by our great medical colleges, the
death rate from pneumonia Is distress
very slowly. How many generations
must pass before pneumonia will be
treated in a rational and successful
manner? Yours truly, A. s. b.
The following, which is called THE
Onion Cure is the method referred to
and as 1t must be, when properly han
died, safe method, can see no rea-
son why it should not be successful
The most successful methods recently
taught by medical men are the same
as those which have always been ad-
vocated by me.
This remedy, which is claimed to
be infallible, was formulated many
years ago by a well-known physician
in New England, who never lost a pa
tient by pneumonia. Take six or ten
onions, according to size, and chop
fine. Put in large spider over a hot
fire, adding about the same quantity
of rye meal and vinegar to form a stiff
paste. Stir thoroughly and simmer
I five or ten minutes. Put in a cotton
bag, large enough to cover the lungs
and apply to the chest Just as hot as
the patient can bear 1t. In about ten
minutes change the poultice, and thus
continue reheating and applying, and in
few hours the patient will be out of
danger. And just here word of pre-
caution. In applying this or any other
hot poultice. care must be exercised
not to let the patient get chilled during
the changing process. Have the hot
one all ready to go on before the cool
ing one is removed, and make the
change so swiftly and deftly that there
is not a moments exposure of the
body surface, which becomes exceed
ingly sensitive to chill"
