F1RsT.cLAss STOCK PAYS.


It costs no more on the farm to raise
first-class stock than to raise poor or
intermediate grades. This is an ak
iom An axiom it will be remembered
is truth that does not need demon
stration. Then if it does not cost more
on farm to raise the better class of
stock the first thought IN stock
breeders mind should be improve
ment. This may, in some instances,
be necessarily slow process If one
lis limited somewhat in means. But
persevere and start in small way.
One will learn gradually the best
methods in feeding, breeding and gen.
eral care. This will, when most need
ed, be a rich experience and with a
start in stock of which one has per-
sonal knowledge, much more can be
accomplished than with several thous-
and dollars spent on strange bunch
of cattle. Decide as early as possible
whether to raise stock for market or
for milking and breed accordingly. A
heifer with a thick neck and tail
bone that is too large had better be
sold for beef-if she has a small tail
bone and slender neck, keep her for a
milch cow.-Cecil Abel Todd, in the

A MANS RULE FOR COFFEE.

THE coffee at any breakfast table,
says a veteran New York hotel man
ager, is one of the most important
elements Of a satisfactory meal.
Coffee should never be decanted.
The pot must be fitted with cover
that lifts on, and not one which swings
back. Ii must also have a cover for
the spout. Make your own filter from
a piece of not too fine white flannel
sewn into a bag terminating in point.
which must be long enough to reach
half way down the pot and wide
enough to fit snugly over the top
Have your coffee (two-thirds Java
one-third Mocha, or any mixture you
prefer ground as fine powder, says
Good Housekeeping. 1t will require
all your Establishment to get your
grocer to do this. but the secret OF the
excellence of this way of making cot
fee depends upon the fineness with
which Il Is ground. Fill your pot with
boiling water to heat it-pour 1t out,
fit on the flannel bag, put in a heap
ing teaspoon for each person, and one
for the pot. and pour on one large cup
of boiling water for each spoonful OF
coffee. The water must be absolutely
boiling and 1t must be poured slowly.
Let II stand for several minutes on
the back of the range; lift out the bag
and send II to the table. | will not
say have hot milk For the perfect
coffee you must have thick, sweet,
rich cream; put in the sugar. then the

ing vessel and you have that coffee

SWEET MILK AND TANKAGE FOR
PIGS

find that sweet skim milk from the
separator mixed with corn meal and
shorts or bran most excellent for pigs
and young hogs, but haven't enough
of the Eilk and want to ask how ra-
ton of tankage. corn meal and shorts
or bran would do to supply the lack of
skim milk to feed young hogs and
pigs, and what proportion when mixed
for feeding.-W. D. Severn, in Indiana
Farmer.
Replying to your inquiry of w.
D. s., Macon county, ILL.,, will say
that a ration can be made of corn,
shorts and tankage, which will be al
most as satisfactory as one where
milk is supplied. The ration should
consist of five parts of corn, five parts
of shorts and one part of tankage; as.
more fat is desired the shorts can be
replaced By corn. There is nothing
better than skim milk whom fed sweet,
hut where the quantity is limited,
tankage can be used as substitute,
as it is very rich in protein.-J. H.

TO CLEAN FURs.

II is impossible for furs to go
through a whole season without con
tracing q quantity of dust and dirt. A
light colored fur. Of course, shows how
soiled 1t is, but the dark ones. not dis
playing their dirt. are allowed to get
dirtier and dirtier. Furs may readily
be cleaned at home simply by rubbing
them with bran. Buy a pound OF
bran, divide it in two portions and
place one in the oven to heat. Spread
the fur on paper on table and rub it
well all over with the cold bran.
Then shake out the bran and brush
the fur with a soft hat brush. When
the rest of the bran feels hot rub IL
evenly into the fur in the same man
ner as before. Shake free from all
bran AMI dust. The satin lining OF the
fur will also need cleansing. Squeeze
out clean sponge in warm water and
rub the satin gently with It, but be
careful not to let the satin get too wet.
Rub it dry with a cloth and hang 1t in
warm place to dry and then in cold
draft to air it.
HAND WORK LAVISH ON HATS.
A good deal of delicate hand work is
lavished on hats. Another black hat
is covered partly with the new felt
plush and partly with satin, seen In
tiny tuCks set close together and
drawn up in gathers. For the moder-
ately high crown the satin only Is
used, whereas the rim is half one, half
the other, the line of demarcation be-
tween the inner portion OF velvet and
the outer one of tucked satin being
deeply waved. For further trimming
this hat has plume Of tips on the left
side. Other black velvet hats | have
seen were richly worked with jet In
one instance the jet embroidery form
ed deep vandykes, having their bases
in the edge of the brim, where there
was a bordering of large black beads.
plume of ostrich tips was placed
rather forward, and handsome sheat
of aigrette jutting out from the side
across the front.
Smaller hats and toques are some
times made of velvet, gathered full
over circles of half.inch~ide ribbon
wire. One, composed of a medium
tinted gray-blue velvet. arranged In
this way, has the brim rolled rather
high off the front and sides, but slop-
ing down at the back. On the left 1t
rests on loosely tied bow of liberty
ribbon, while above, on the edge Of the
brim, is lyre-shaped ornament in
blue enamel, set with pebbles, border
ing blue paradise tail.-Millinery

rHE SUPPLY OF POULTRY.

Notwithstanding the fact that all
kinds of poultry and eggs are con-
stantly increasing in price, the supply
continues to grow also-and it IS es-
timated that the supply in 1905 Will De
fully 25 per cent. larger than any pre-
ceding year. More of the products OF
the poultry yard are being consumed
and the demand keeps pace with the
production.
The supply can never equal the de-
mand. since modern poultry farming
Gas taught us that at all times poultry
and eggs can be produced for less
money than beef, pork or mutton.
There is nothing that will ever take
the place of eggs, and the demand for
them wf1l constantly grow greater.
Poultry flesh, in season, will like
wise always be in demand, and we
need never fear an over-production OF
either fowls or eggs. Look after your
poultry and you will find the hens
profitable.

OF CLOVER AND cowpEA

VALUE OF CLOVER AND COWPEA
Nitrogen is to the soil in which our
plants grow much what the oxygen o:
the air is to us, for without 1t the
death of vegetation must ultimately
ensue, says Connecticut Farmer.
For centuries farmers have known
says Scientific American, that differ
ent crops should be grown in the same
field with each succeeding year. Some
crops following clover and other
plants were found to flourish admir-
ably. Careful analysis by agricultural
chemists have shown hat the benefits
derived by this rotation are due di
rectly to the increased stores of nj.
trogen placed at the disposal of the
benefited plants. 1t would necessarily
have followed that plants of the clover
type were able to render available nj
trogen which would otherwise be UNI
assimilated. Further investigation
showed that this nitrogen was fixed in
a manner entirely unsupported, and
that we need have no fear of the ex
haustion of the nitrate beds which
supply us with the CHER ingredients OF
our fertilizers.
The Leguminosiae family of plants.
such as clover, the cowpea and the
soy bean, have well-definsd nodules at
their roots, highly charged with nitro
gen and constituting the habitat OF
certain bacteria Indispensable in nitro
cnr ocx,iy, i1ot In 70 nj
ments proved that the destruction of
these bacteria was equivalent to the
destruction of life itself. Bacterial
life, then and nothing else, contains
the secret of nitrogen production. It
having been settled with reasonable
certainty that the fixation of nitrogen
in the case of Leguminosiae is directly
traceable to bacteria, the next investi-
cation to be carried out had for its
determination the life process of these
bacteria-the conditions under which
they thrive, the amount of light, heat
and moisture that they require, the
manner in which the plant approp-ia.
ted the nitrogen brought to it from the
air, and finally, the possibility of ar
tificially stimulating plant life by in
oculating soil with the bacteria.
These investigations have been car.
ried out with striking success. At no
very distant day the FARMER will either
inoculate his field with culture of
bacteria adapted to the crop he wish
es to grow, or incorporate with his
soil earth of field where the crop has
already been successful. The uncer.
tainty of good crop will then have
vanished, and farmer will be assured
Of the best obtainable crops from the
seed which he has planted. Guess.
work will have given place to absolute
certainty.
