Grandma Jack Rabbit went over to
the stove at the other end of the
kitchen, where she had a big pot of
taffy boiling, some corn popping, a
big pan of cheStnuts roasting in the
oven, and some other things cooking
for the children's supper, and Grandpa
began to play with the children. Oh!
What fun they hadl They played

Grandpa got down on his hands and
knees and took them for a ride op
his back all around the room and over
to where Grandma was pulling the
golden taffy that had been boiling on
the stove.

cept the baby, who was lying wide
awake in her little cot at the foot of
mothers bed. Just as the clock was
striking midnight, there came a gen
tie tap at the door. Baby heard it,
but no one else did, and she climbed
out of her cot and ran to the door.
Il commin' Bunnie,'' she called out
as she reached up to the handle and
let the little animal in. Now 90 wait
minnit till baby dets on her toat, Mr..
Jack Rabbit
Then she ran to the drawer and
pulled out her little coat and bon
net and mitts and her little foot muffs.
Baby had never dressed herself before
but at midnight, between the old and
the new year, babies can do many
wonderful things which they cannot
do at any other time, but you never
see them doing these things, as they
will not do them while anybody in the
house is awake.
1t only took baby a few minutes to
get on all her clothes. Then she open
ed the door and she and the jackrabbit
went out into the moonlight night.
AS soon as they were outside the rab-
bit got down on his knees, and baby
climbed on his back and away he
scampered, down the road, with baby
holding on by his ears.
Soon they were far away from
baby's home, SO far that they could
only see the chimney. At last they
came to a hole leading down under
the ground. Down this the jackrabbit
popped, and stopped up before a lit
tie round door. He tapped at the door
and waited until it was opened by a
fat little woman in a big white apron
and a. white dusting cap.

It was the night before New Years.
The air was clear and frosty, and the
moon and stars were shining down on
the sparkling snow that covered the
prairie like the cloth on a round din
ing table. Toward midnight, if you
had peeped from one of the windows
OF Mr.. Blain's farm house, you would
have seen what would have appeared
to have been a shadow. coming up the
road toward the house. AS it came
nearer you would have seen that it
was a little animal about the size of a
lamb, with great long ears and bob
tall, and so white that at little dis
tance you could not tell it from the
snow.
But nobody saw the shadow, for
everyone in the house was asleep, ex-

Forests Make Homes.

You can never afford to forget for
one moment what is the object of our
forest policy. That object is not to
preserve the forests because they are
beautiful, though that is good in itself,
nor because they are refugees for the
wild creatures of the wilderness,
though that, too. is good in itself: but
the primary object OF our forest pol
icy. as of the land policy of the United
States, is the making of prosperous
homes 1t is part of the traditional
policy of home making of our country.
Every other consideration comes as
secondary. The whole effort of the
government IN dealing with the for
ests must be directed to this end.
keeping in view the fact that it is
not only necessary to start the homes
as prosperous. but to keep them SO.
That is why the forests have got to
be kept You can start prosperous
home by destroying the forests. but
you cannot keep it prosperous that

Discomfort in stanchions.

Extra feed may make up for lack OF
shelter. and keep the animals warm,
the only loss being to the farmer who
furnishes three dollars worth OF corn
meal to do what one dollars worth OF
battens would have done; but no
amount of extra feed will make up df-
rectly for loss of comfort Animals
will, in time, get used to almost any
treatment, 1 know; but wouldn't 1t
be better and more profitable to make
them comfortable from the first?
There is very little money in the win
tering of stock, at the best; and can
I'VE afford to have cows give less milk,
or steers take on less flesh, than they
ought to, simply because they are not
comfortable?

Testing the SeIf-Feeder.

At the Illinois Experiment Station
Professor Mumford has been testing
the value of a self-feeder as against
hand-feeding of steers, as to effect on
the steers. Ten steers were fed by
hand and ten by selffeeder. After
keeping the animals on full feed for
SO days, they were last week sold at
the Chicago stockyardS, bringing SIS 40
per 100 weight. About a year ago
they were bought for $4S5 per 100
weight. The results OF the test are as
follows:
Settled. Handled.
Qbs.) Qbs.)
Total gain .2510.0O 228O.OO
Average gain -. 251.OO 22S.0O
Av. daily gain 2.561 1926
Grain eaten per
steer ......... .2194.30 1946A0
Grain eaten daily
per steer ...... 22.00 1880
1t will be seen that the self-feeder
cattle gained each .235 more per day
than the handled steers, but used "a
pounds more grain in doing it. At
$40 per 100 weight this added gain
brought in the market 1859 cents and
cost the value of "a pounds of grain.
AT % cents per 100 weight this grain
would be worth 1.2 cents, or about
the same as the value of the graiH
So far as the effects on the cattle are
concerned it would appear that self
feeding and handfeeding are about
equal 1t is impossible to feed any
two punches of steers and have the
results exactly the same, even if both
punches be fed the same way. Incl
dental variation must always be
counted on and unless there is quite
a wide difference in the results. the
experiment must be regarded as non
conclusive. This appears to be the
case In the experiment reported.

Better Farming.

6etter farmin9.
Among the different topics discussed
at the Farmers Institute meetings.
perhaps none has received SO little
attention as this subject, and yet it
is one of great Importance. Many
farmers have not even thought of it;
some have given it considerable study
and attention, and have learned to
know the value of it. says A c. Hall
man in an Ontario report.
Not More Land, but Better Farm
ing. The farmer has many hard prob
lens to solve at the present time, and
especially the young farmer or begin
ner. On many farms the soil is de-
p1eted of it's vegetable deposits or hu-
mus through the old system of farm
ing. Our produce from the exhausted
soil has to compete with the products
of the new countries with their virgin
soil, and with the West, where the
land is cheap and fertile. We are all
clamoring after more acres, when the
object in many cases should be bet
ter and more intensive farming" :"
V6y few of us are so fortunately sit
uaeed that we can add more acres,
but nearly all of US can increase the
producing capacity IF our land by i'm
proved and advanced methods of farm
ing, thereby enriching the soil so
that in some cases double the
amount of crops can be grown
from the same farm. This is worth a
great deal more than additional land.
Among the many things that can help
us are catch crops" There is no
definite time for sowing them. They
may be sown at any time, or with
other crops in the summer season
Nor is there any particular kind OF
crop. Any crop that is suited to
the particular time of sowing
will be satisfactory. Where the
land is in good heart, clean and
plenty of vegetable deposit (humus)
clover, mixed with grass, ranks very
high. If the season is favorable ii

the ground as the grain crop takes out
OF the land. In nearly all cases the
fertilizing value of the stalks is worth
much more than the seed cost.

Winter Feeding of Poultry.


We practice a method somewhat
says a report of the Ontario station.
Our experience in feeding warm
mashes in the morning is that, unless
the feeder is exceptionally careful, the
fowls gorge themselves, and as re-
suit take to the roost for the greater
part of the day-which is more favor
able to the production of fat than of
eggs A hen must be in good condi-
ton when laying, and the amount of
flesh must be sustained, if continued
laying is desired; but excessive fat is
generally more harmful than a slight
reduction in weight. The first feed
in the morning is given about nine
O'Clock and consists of a handful of
whole grain, usually wheat, to every
three birds. This is well scattered in
the litter on the floor. Previous to
this the birds have been kept busy
digging in the litter for the few NOR
sells that may have been left from the
evening meal of the previous day.
When the forenoon is nearly gone the
fowls are given a little cut bone or
cooked meat each day, and, in addi-
ton, all the pulped roots, such as
turnips or beets that they will eat.
The amount of bone or meat given is
small, the object being to give about
two and one-half pounds to every
sixteen hens during a weeks time. A
little whole grain is given soon after
one O'Clock, either barley or oats, not
more than three handfu1s to a dozen
hens, the object being to induce exer-
else. If the hens are losing in flesh
less exercise is given. In such cases
larger feed is given early in the
morning and the noon feed of grain
is generally emitted The mash is
given about four in the afternoon.
The mash. is composed of equal parts
by measure of stale bread, corn meal,
bran, ground oats and clover meal, or
lawn clippings. These are dampened
with skim milk or water, according
to the abundance of the former. This
should be fed warm if possible, and
given in as large quantities as the
fowls will eat

square of inch stuff are cut and placed
on the cleats to form the floors of the
nest boxes, thus making little homes
for the pigeons 9 inches high with
floor II inches square. The sliding
floor of each box furnishes an easy
method of removal for cleaning. Each
pen contains two sets of nest boxes,
one against each partition, containing
60 boxes, or 120 in all, supplying each
pair of birds with two nesting places,
with 20 to spare. The bottom of the
lowest box is Is inches from the
floor. Nests should not be placed di-
rectly on the floor if possible to avoid
it. Some pairs will persistently build
on the floor, in which case it may be
best to humor them and make no at
tempt to compel them to nest else
where.

Purifying Milk by Centrifugal Separa
tom

toon.
In spite of every effort at c1ean11-
ness, some impurities usually find
their way into milk. These may be
substances which are more or less
soluble in milk and which no means
can effectually remove, says bulletin
162 of the U. s. Department. of Agri-
culture. On the other hand, the i'm
purities may be solids and in part or
completely removable by strainingl
filtering, or centrifugal separation.
The aforementioned method is claimed
by good authority to remove practic-
ally all solid impurities from milk. In
this method the milk is run through
the centrifugal separator in the usual
way and the cream and skim milk
are then mixed, the impurities being
removed with the separator slime.
This use of the centrifugal separator
as a purifier of milk intended for re-
tail trade has already reached some
commercial importance. The disad-
vantages of the method, as pointed
out by o. F. Hunziker in recent
bulletin of the New York Cornell Sta
ton, are the time and cost involved,
and especially the fact that skim mix
and cream when once separated do
not mix well and when reunited the
cream does not rise as abundantly rs
in fresh milk. "As the consumer
judges the richness of milk largely
by the amount of cream that rises on
it, he naturally and unjustly regards
centrifuged milk as an article poor in
fat and is unwilling to pay the price
it is really worth"
The effect of centrifugal separation
upon the bacteria in milk has lately
81 %1, tot inn n
seven experiments at different times
during the year determinations were
made of the number of bacteria pres
ent in whole milk and IN the mixed
skim milk and cream which had
passed through the separator. The
reduction in the number of bacteria
in the different experiments due to
centrifugal separation varied from 15
TO 81 per cent. At the end of twenty
four hours milk which had been sepa-
rated and afterwards mixed contained
on an average considerably less acid
than nonseparated milk The keeping
qualities of the milk. however, were
considered as improved but little, il
/ any, by separation In eight other ex-
periments at the same station it was
found that the skiTa milk contained
on an average about 20 per cent OF
the number of germs present in the
whole milk, the cream "a per cent,
and the separator slime At per cent
The results of these experiments
agree substantially with those OBJ
tanned by other investigators Gem
trifugal separation removes q good
many germs from milk, but does not
insure the complete removal of dis
ease-producing bacteria, and II does
not, according to the Iowa station, im-
prove to- any great extent the keep
