Feeding Dairy Cattle.

Very skillful feeding may be OBJ
served in many of the dairying dis
tricts of foreign countries. The own
ers seem to know how to obtain the
maximum product from their cows
with the minimum expenditure OF for
age. From Norway to Italy and from
Ireland to Siberia dalrymen, including
the poorest peasants, do not hesitate
to buy concentrated cattle foods when
necessary to supplement home sup
plies; the purchases are made Judi
ciously, and the feeding is equally so.
But this sklllful practice is almost all
based upon the rule OF thumb" learned
of sire by son and passed from gener.
alton to generation. We believe that
at the present day there is much more
general knowledge Of the difference
and comparative value Of feeds and OF
correct principles Of feeding In this
country than anywhere else, Denmark
not excepted. And yet there is prob
ably more careless and wasteful feed.
ing Of dairy cattle and animals Of all
kinds in America than anywhere else
In the world.

This Is Miraculous.

Manhattan, Kans.. March 14.-One
OF the strangest cases that has ever
been heard of in Riley Co. is that of
the three-year-old daughter of Mr..
Jonas Brubaker of this place.
Some time ago the little girl took
whooping cough, which was followed
by pneumonia. When the pneumonia
left her, she was taken down with
malaria fever with at times symptoms
Of Spinal Meningitis.
The family doctor brought her safe
ly through these troubles, but after
the fever Bright's Disease set In and
the doctors gave her up. Her father
tells the rest of the story:
I'VE began to give her Dodd's Kid.
ney Pills and after she had taken
about three and half boxes, she was
entirely cured. Now she Is well as
any child. running and playing as II
nothing had ever been the matter
with her, The doctors said she was
beyond the reach OF medicine. Dodd's
Kidney Pills certainly saved our lit.
tie girls life, when she was so far
into the chronic stage Of Bright's
Disease that we thought nothing could
save her."

The Creamery Manaasr.

The manager Of creamery holds
an important place. He should be a
sort Of guiding hand in shaping the
policy of the company. and he should
know every detail Of the business.
A great deal OF tact is often necessary
in keeping patrons we'll pleased and
satisfied. A great deal OF explana-
ton and a world OF patience often
keeps patrons in line who otherwise
would quit and perhaps never come
back, besides giving the business a
black eye TO every one they meet or
whenever an occasion was presented.
The manager must also be up with
the times, foreseelng changes that
are continually coming. and be pre-
pared to meet them half way. In
this day OF centrallzing plants, and
the hand separator on the farm,
there's no use for a creamery TO try
to continue business along the same
old lines. The thing to do is to do
a little centralizing yourselves before
the other fellow gets your business
and limits your territory. W. 9. Ollie.

A paint brush makes good swab
for greasing cake tins. OF course the
butter applied must be melted.
If it is desired to heat bakers rolls
leave them in the bag in which they
came and twisting it up tightly place
it in the oven. The rolls will plump
up as soft and fresh as when first pur.
chased.
Water, bread and butter lin tiny
balls) should be at hand for replenish-
ing at formal dinner quite as much
as when the family is alone, and an
adept waitress will see that they
are served without being asked.
Most housekeepers are accustomed
to freshen salads and other vegetables
by soaking in cold water, but not
every one knows that most fruits are
vastly improved by being treated in
the same manner Pears. peaches and
like thin-skinned fruits, likewise Der.
ries, should never be soaked, but
plums, melons, bananas and even
grapes benefit by the process. To
matoes and cucumbers are made over,
so to speak.

To Clean Oilcloth, Tiles, Etc.-Put
into a pail of hot water two or three
handfuls of salt and wash with linen
rag. 1t takes off all stains and leaves
a beautiful polish.
To Clean Fruit Jars Quickly.-Fill
them (almost) with hot soapsuds,
Then put into the jars an ounce Of
carpet tacks and shake vigorously;
afterwards rinse well in clean cold
water and turn upside down to dry,
This is a much quicker method Of
cleaning than the ordinary one.
To Brighten Mirrors.-These may
be rendered brilliant and spotless by
rubbing them with tissue paper vigor-
ously for a moment or two.
TO Remove Red Ink Stains.-Moist-
en- the stains with a mixture of ordi-
nary alcohol and nitric acid. Some
colors might not stand such strong
application, so it would be advisable
in the first instance to try the prepare
ton upon a loose piece Of the ma
terial.

En.e, Of ManaeIs on Land.

The Journal OF the Royal Agrlcul.
tural Society Of England has given
an account OF experiments in the
continuous growth for 81 years OF
mangels on the same lands, which
form a part Of the RothamsteL In
vestigations. After describing the
experiment and reporting the result
in detail, the author concludes:
THAT mangels can be grown con-
tinuously on the same land without
lnjuring the tith Of the land or the
health of the crop. That a liberal
dressing Of farmyard manure forms
the best basis OF the manure for man.
gels. That the crop will further re
spond to considerable additions OF &C.
tive heterogeneous manures to the dung,
particularly of nitrate Of soda. That
a free supply Of potash salts is essen
tial TO the proper development Of the
mangel, hence specific potash
manuring Is desirable, even wheD
dung is used in large quantities and
on a strong soil inltlally rich In pot
ash. when heterogeneous manures are
used in addition to dung, the potash
salts should be increased pro rata
in order to MAINTAIN the health and
feeding value Of the crop and to brlnI
Il to maturity. That, in conjunction
with dung. super-phosphate or othsI
phosphate manure is hardly neces
sary and viii give little appreciablt
return, especially when the crop IL
grown in rotation. That, as soluble
alkaline salts are beneficial to the
mangel crop either as direct foods OF
as economizers Of potash. q dressing
OF salt should always be included
among the manures for ths mangel
crop"

Improvement by DRAINING.

Irving c. Smith, in an address be.
fore Wisconsin fruit growers, said:
There is land which is entirely worth.
less without drains. and all the way
up to the point where drains would
seem to be as useless as the wet
land without them. There can he no
argument regarding the wet land, but
when one is getting what is usually
considered good crops, there may be
point raised against the drainage.
How may we judge the point? Does
the crop suffer from water in wet
season? Are there spots here and
there which suffer? Is the crop near
the dead burrows as good as that ten
or twenty feet distant? II the land
Is a little uneven In elevation, is the
crop largest on the higher or lower
portions? Does the land dry out In
the spring as early as is best to put
in the desired crop? II the land was
drier, could you not grow some more
profitable crop on it, BY noting these
and other kindred points and care
fully considering whether the differ.
ences observable are due to an over
supply Of water, one can Judge pretty
closely whether drains would benefit
or not. II there is enough variation
between the best and the poorest to
be noticeable in the growing crop, or
In the amount harvested without
Weighing or measuring, should 1t be
weighed you would probably find SUI.
ficlent difference to make at least one
good working profit. This profit is
what we are after. Remember that
successful undertaking always de.
creases the cost of caring for any
given crop, and that 1t is less work
to care for a good than a poor crop.
Let US say, therefore, that land needs
undertaking when 1t will return
the investment, with interest, In
from one to five years.

Several daily papers have recently
printed the following:
"A Des Moines (Iowa) wire to q
Chicago firm says: A careful canvas
OF the oat situation reveals the fact
that there is going to be big demand
for seed oats. Two elevator people
here have orders for 25 cars Of 1900
bushels each, another Is cars, and all
the others have orders. The Iowa
oats have been tested at the college
at Ames and only about SO per cent
will terminate"
wish to call attention to the last
sentence. have charge of the farm
crops work and the plant breeding
work Of the agronomy department. !
have made no test of last years Iowa
oats and know of no one in the col
lege who has. The incorrect state
ment is doing the college and the oat
raising farmers of Iowa a great injus-
tice. Any farmer can test his seed
oats In many different ways. One OF
the simplest is to place a number OF
oat kernels between two or three
thicknesses Of newspaper. 10, 25, so
or 100 in fold, and duplicating this
number several times, place the pack
cts Of seeds In cigar box. Now
moisten the seed packets we'll with
water, tie the I'D down and set in
warm place. BY keeping the papers
moist, not wet, for few days the
seeds will sprout readily If vital seeds.
After five or six days throw out all
seeds having root and stem sprouts.
counting them as you throw them
away. These are the seeds that have
perfect termination.
Dividing the number of seeds
sprouted or terminated by the total
number Of seeds used in this test
gives the per cent of termination.
Some use molstened sawdust, some
wet sand, moist cloths, etc. That
which supplies warm temperature
and plenty Of moisture will generally
make fair test of the oats. Any oat
raiser by the methods suggested can
test his oats, and believe Iowa oats
will be shown to test different from
the per cent referred to above.

rhe Revival Of sachet BAGS.

The old fashion OF wearing sachet
oags is being revived. The bags are
now heart-shaped and are suspended
by the same shade of baby ribbon.
Sometimes different colors are COM
bined to give the rainbow hues SO
much sought for. Larger sachet bags
oblong and heart-shape, ara suspend
ed from the mirror knob Of the dress
er with good effect, and they exhale
a delicate fragrance that is refresh
ing.
1t is quite the fad to attach these
sachet bags to coat hangers In the
same color with which they are COW
cred. They are fastened at each end
of the hanger and dangle at all sorts
of lengths.
