Rising Price of Beef.

Gradually from year to year there
is gradual increase in the price of
beef, though the average rise is so
small for any one year that our buy
ers do not notice it. With the ex-
haustion of the area of public range
and the increase of population there
is steadily approaching time when
beef will be high all the year round.
While this is a matter for the buyers
to look upon with misgivings it is
one that should stimulate the pro-
ducer of beef to put more thought
into his business. The high priced
beef of the future will not be made
alone on our western ranges, but in
all parts of the country. The farms
in the older states carry few beeves
because they cannot compete with
the cheap grass on the western
ranges, but that day is slowly but
surely passing. The millions and mil
lions Of people that are coming to
our shores are swelling the number
of the beef eaters, and there is also
among us a steady increase of the
native population. We hope to see
beef steers on every farm. There are
very few farmers that cannot raise
one or two beeves without much ex-
ira expense, especially if they have
pastures that are of good size and
which are seeded to good combina-
tions of grasses.

Inspection of Milk Increases Its Use.

inSPCCIOn OF MlIk increases It's use.
In Rochester, N. y, where about
$4,000 are expended annually for the
supervision of the milk supply, and a
few thousand milk samples are ex-
amined both chemically and bacteria
logically each year, the average daily
use of milk amounts to about eighty
three one hundredthS pint per capita;
while in st. Louis, Mo-, where less
than $4,000 are expended annually for
the supervision of the milk supply
and only a few hundred samples of
milk are examined chemically and
bacteriologically, and where it is Of
fcfally admitted that the milk regu-
lations are not well enforced, the
average daily use of milk amounts to
only about thirty-seven one-hun-
dredths pint per capita. Just and
well-enforced laws are not objection
able. They increase public confidence
in milk and thus increase the de-
mand for it. 1t would be well to add
here that by "well-enforced" we mean
enforcement by an officer who is in
sympathy with all honest efforts to
improve the milk supply, and who
does not labor under the belief that
all persons engaged in producing or
handling milk are necessarily by ma
ture law-breakers.-Prof. R. A Pear

To Utilize Spare Corners.

The woman whose family has a pen
chant for mushrooms will find that it
is an easy matter to raise them her
self and that for a very little money
outlay. If she has a spare corner in a
Eealthful cellar or shed, let her place
there some pals containing a manure
mixed with a sprinkle of cooking salt
and a little loan. She should procure
from a reliable source some bricks of
spawn, and after breaking these into
cubic inches press the pieces well into
the mold, being careful to water them
every day or two. The result will be
that, in less than two months, she
will have a fair growth of mushrooms
for an original cost of perhaps ten
cents.

Raising White Holland TURKEYS.

My method of raising White Hol-
land turkeys is about as follows: In
the start 1 select about eight or ten
early-hatched, strong and healthy pull
lets, with plenty of bone and fine
style. Then 1 want an extra large.
vigorous, healthy yearling or two-year-
old tom that is not akin to the pulIets.
| do not want a pullet weighing less
than fifteen pounds nor a tom that
weighs less than twenty-five pounds.
The feathering of both must be prac-
ucally clear white or pinlsish white
The mature tom should not weigh less
than thirty-three pounds and the hens
not less than twenty-three pounds. To
do well, turkeys must have free range
Ours have unlimited range Their
roosts are constructed by placing forks
in the ground and putting poles or
rails on them, and this arrangement
does for both summer and winter. The
hrst layings of turkey eggs are set
under chickens and we break up the
turkey hen the first time she begins
to sit The next time she wants to
sit we let her sit on her own eggs.
and we allow her to raise her own
poults- When the young poults are
Matched we place the mother hen in
a square Pen made of planks set edge
wise The planks are a foot high and
twelve feet long This pen is placed
partly under the shade of a tree, in
the orchard. We also have a coop
in the pen in which to shelter them
at night and in times of rain.
l do not feed the young poults till
they are "a hours old. The critical
time with poults is the first few weeks
OF life l find that it is best at that
time to keep them out of rain and
dewy grass, especially early in the
We feed them sour milk
cheese at first, squeezed out very dry
and mixed with fine bread crumbs.
We also give them little fine oyster

have mentioned till they can fly out.
To their feed we add wheat and
cracked corn gradually until the poults
are about three months old. Then we
give them unlimited range and let
them roost out on the nigh roost with
the old ones 1t pays while they are
young to grease the tops of their
heads lightly, and also at the roots
of their wing feathers, using common
lard. l do this about every week or at
least every ten days till they are two
months old, and this keeps lice from
bothering them. After the poults are
three months old I feed a liberal al
lowance of corn 7. ]. Pifer.

Puffs Are the Prevailing Fancy.

One might reasonably have fore
seen that the shirrings which have
been used SO lavishly upoon all the
frocks this summer would inevitably
run into puffs as the season advanced.
In Paris the fancy for puffs in every
thing is running riot; and it must be
confessed that while it takes a master
hand to manage them the effect is
rarely becoming except to very slen-
der figures and then only when the
wearer is of gracious height

oven Should Be Scrubbed.

Very few of the tidiest housekeep.
ers recognize the necessity of having
the oven washed out. Especially after
lamb, poultry or fish has been baked,
the walls and floor of the oven should
be scrubbed carefully with a stiff
brush and strong soapsuds, to which a
small quantity of washing soda has
been added. Pies, cakes and biscuits
sometimes have an unaccountable
greasy odor due to a lack of this pre-
caution.
