Washing Rugs.

Good rugs may be washed repeated
Iy without harming them In fact,
washing a good rug only makes the
colors more mellow. A writer in the
House Beautiful tells how to do it
successfully: Tack the rug on a bit
of bare floor, the back piazza being
as good a place as any. Scrub thor
oughly with warm ammonia suds, and
rinse with many clear waters until all
the soap is removed. Let the rug dry
on the floor without removing the
tacks, then take up and it will not
shrink, roll, nor pull out of shape.

Fashion in Canes.

Short circular capes are all the
fashion right now. Those most in
vogue for early autumn weather are
of coarse lace; any lace like Cfuny,
BRUCE or point Venise is in favor. The
capes vary in length. Sometimes they
fall just to the shoulders, others reach
to the bust line, and still others
touch the waist. In ecru or dyed to
match the color of the gown they will
be the most fashionable during the
early fall. The smart girl is sure to
contrive many novel ways of adding
to the charm of her cape. She may
fasten it down the front with big,
artistic-looking buttons, or it may
have the effect of being tied together
with many smart-looking little black
satin bows If she wishes to more
decidedly change its effect, she will
slip satin messaline or velvet ribbons
through the meshes of the lace at
either side of the front. At ,the neck
the ribbons are tied in rosetteS, and
lnen again a bit further down.

Dry Parchment Paper.

The use of parchment paper has be-
come quite common with makers of
butter whether on the farm or in the
creamery. AS a usual thing it has
been advised to not only wet the
parchment paper but to soak it for
hours or even days in strong brine.
It has been implicitly believed that
this would prevent its becoming a
means OF spreading molds which SO
often become detrimental to the keep
ing quality of butter. A professor in
Belgium has been making some ex-
periments to determine whether the
soaking really does help the parch-
ment paper to keep the mold away.
Butter was wrapped in dry parchment
paper and in wet parchment paper.
For six or seven days there was no
difference in the keeping quality of
the butter, but after that the butter
wrapped in moist paper took on a dis
agreeable smell and in time became
rancid. The butter wrapped in dry
parchment paper kept eight days long
er than the butter wrapped in moist
paper. The report of the experiment
does not, however, say whether the
paper had been moistened in strong
t-ine or antiseptic solution or wheth-
er unsterilized water was used. II
the latter was the case the experiment
has little or no value.

Profit in EattenIna Poultry.

The farmer that raises poultry
should understand the science of fat
tening fowls, SO that he may get the
benefit of the possibilities in the
frame of the chick, instead Of the mid
die man that buys of him with the
purpose of fattening for the final mar
ket. A good many men are now go-
ing through the country buying up
half-grown birds for the purpose OF
fattening them. The men that do this
realize that the farmer has taken all
the risk with the chicks. He has lost
many during the first month after
the chicks were out of the eggs and
while they were getting feathers, and
he has lost others later from lice and
predatory animals. By the time the
packer or middle man gets hold of
them they have passed the danger
stage and he can take the birds, and
in less than a month greatly increase
their weight 1t is not wise for a
farmer to let go of half-grown Lirds
unless he can get good price for
them.

Frozen Milk in Europe.

In Europe a good many experiments
are being made with frozen milk. Up
to the present time the matter Of
shipping frozen milk has created the
most interest in Germany, where the
practice has been inaugurated of freeZ-
ing milk in bottles. The men that
have made a scientific study of the
process say that the rapidity of cooling g
regulates to a considerable extent the
preservation of the milk. The freezing z
is evidently not SO complete that
changes do not go on, for the observ-
ers say that the milk can be brought
back to its original consistency only
if it is kept few days or weeks at
most. Where it is kept for months
insoluble compounds are formed that
do not redissolve. The French have
paid little attention to this matter,
probably because the French people do
not as rule use ice extensively. Any
one can see the advantages of frozen
milk if it can be handled perfectly. 1t
will doubtless be found that the de-
mands on the transportation COM
panies will be a considerable Offset to
the advantages of the cold. 1t would
take only very short time in uniced
cars in summer to change the frozen
mass in the bottles into a liquid, and
the freezing reduces the keeping quail
ity of milk, If we may trust popular
belief and apparent experience

Why Stock Need Fresh Air.

Formerly all classes of cattle were
considered upon the same general plan
as to stabling and care, but to-day the
experienced feeder of beef cattle Sc
cures best results when animals are
allowed to seek shelter at will, to
choose between outdoor and indoor
conditions, as the system may dictate,
said H. M. Culbertson, in an address
to Wisconsin farmers. Opposite meth
DDS are found advisable with dairy
herds, for the COWS quite closely con-
fined, well protected from cold and
storms, yield most returns for food
consumed. This, however, brings to
our attention the possibilities of dis
ease, unless these animal quarters are
well supplied with pure air and sys-
tenn of ventilation.
We are told that all the activities OF
the body are dependent upon the cir
culation of blood, because it carries
to every extreme and minute part the
required elements, in solution, to build
and replace worn parts, as nature sug-
gests, at the same time flushing the
system and carrying away worn and
exhausted tissues and compounds poi
sonous, to the body if permitted to re-
main. Returning to the heart, the
about eighteen times each minute a
supply of fresh air finds it's way down
the very small air tubes leading to the
air cells, whose walls are composed of
extremely delicate tissue or membrane,
which is crossed and recrossed by
countless numbers of tinv blood pas
sages from which this waste product
from the body, called carbonic acid, in
quantities one hundred times as great
as pure air contains, finds it's way
from the blood to these air cells. At
the same time the oxygen of pure air
passes into the blood, and a very i'm
portant transfer takes place In about
t-yo minutes every portion of the blood
is returned to again unload more
refuse matter and be replenished with
n . oxygen of pure air, the wonderful
| 1nvigorator of the system.
1t is said that in an animal of 1000
pounds live weight, about three pints
of blood passes with every heart beat
and there are about fifty beats per
minute. This means that great quan-
! titles of blood are being exposed in
the lungs for publication, and that the
activities within the animal, the diges-
ton and assimilation of new foods, the
growth in the young animal, the build
ing of the meaty tissues in the feeder
the replacing Of worn material in the
laboring animal and production OF
healthy milk in the milk COW, all de-
pend upon the circulation of the blood.
II animals are not constantly replen-
ished with pure air and are forced to
breathe over and over again these i'm
purfties, poisonous if taken back into
the system. nature cannot do its work,
complications arise and disease is like
ly to result sooner or later,

Leather Trimming.

A decided novelty in the way OF
trimming for some of the new nuns
yelling waists are the turnover collar
and cuffs made of soft leather. An
example of this is a pale-blue waist
trimmed with collar and cuffs of soft
tan leather, in shape somewhat similar
to the embroidered and lace collar and
cuff sets so much in demand during
the spring and summer season.
Leather trimmings are being used to
some extent on the new tailored suits
and raincoats. so that this novelty may
meet with quite as much Of a success
as a waist trimming as in the other
lines of ready-made garments

Land for Sugar eeets.

The question is often asked: do
sugar beets exhaust the Soil?" The
proper answer to this question is. that
any crop will exhaust the soil If
planted continuously and nothing Is
done to renew it, says Charles F.
Saylor. Sugar beets will not exhaust
the soil more than other crops If the
right methods are pursued. 1t should
be the aim of every farmer growing
sugar beets to make a profit out of
them the same as with any other crop;
therefore, he should be careful in the
selection of land for growing them.
If piece of land is not adapted to
general cropping, avoid it for sugar
beets. Put upon it something better
adapted to it, and operate. if possible,
in such a way as to make 1t proluc-
tive. II it is wet and sour, drain it.
II light, put it in grass or build it up
with legumes in rotation with light
crops and liberal applications of barn
yard manure. At least do not try to
reclaim it with sugar beets. They are
not a good reclaimer. Beets are an
expensive crop at the best, and should
be put upon lands offering the best
opportunities for good yields. It takes
6 to 7 tons of beets per acre.sto pay
the actual cost of production. and it
is the tonnage OF beets over and above
this amount that yields the profit
So it can readily be seen that poor
land should be planted to something
whose production is not so expensive.
On poor land sugar beets are liable
to produce a loss, either in a low
sugar content and purity, or small ton
mage of beets per acre.

in V shape, or left high as may be pre-
ferred and all materials in vogue for
underwear are appropriate. In the
case of the model the trimming is
embroidery. but here again a choice
is allowed as washable laces are much
liked and frillS of the material also
are in vogue.
The garment is made with front,
backs, side backs, under arm cores
and back portion of skirt. The front
is fitted by means of double darts, so
making the garment absolutely

The Good Stallion.

Where an enterprising farmer buys
good stallion he should be patron
lied by the other farmers But in a
great many sections no farmer can
be found that will invest a large sum
of money in a frst-class stallion for a
number of reasons. One of these is
that he does not feel sure that he
will receive the patronage of the
other farmers. Another reason is
that he knows that If the investment
should prove to be a good one some
other farmer would want to make
money, too, and would be likely to
buy a good horse and establish a com
petition that would be ruinous. So
he concludes to let things remain as
they are. This is the strongest factor
against getting our farmers to i'm
prove their horsefesh. The easiest
solution seems to be to organize as
sociations that will buy stations for
the use of the communities Then all
are financially interested and no one
will want to secure a stallion for the
sake of competing with the one al
ready purchased.

The Cool Curing Idea.

The cool curing of cheese has been
a matter that has engrossed the at
tention of our dairy experts for the
last two and three years. The sue
cesses obtained in the experiment
conducted in Canada and America will
surely exert a powerful influence on
the industry everywhere in the world.
We note that the largest cheese fac
tory in New Zealand and perhaps in
the world has adopted this process
which is,~apparently far superior to
every other method. In the first
place it makes the control of the con-
ditions easy and obviates the necessity
of building expensive curing rooms
where the temperature can be kept
at between sixty and seventy degrees
the whole season through. In cool
storing it is merely necessary to place
the cheese In cold storage and the nat
ural forces in them will do the rest.
1t is infinitely easier to keep cheese
below the freezing point than it is to
keep it at any degree higher. More
over at low temperature the bac-
terra that make bad cheese do not
grow, while the desirable ferments de-
velop. This is a way Of getting ahead
of the elements that give bad cheese.
When this system is perfected and
adopted we may expect to have only
good cheese placed on the market,
with a consequent increase in the
sales.

Action That Stays.

Action in the gait of horse is to
a large extent inbred. A good many
horsemen succeed in educating horses
to step correctly, but this education
does not stick with a good many
horses. Some horsemen shoe their
horses heavily in front to get them to
pick their knees up, but this does not
become fixed habit, and the horse
soon falls back into the old ways
when he gets used to the heavy shoes
Some try speeding the horse over soft
ground, and to some extent this Inn
proves his gait, II it is continued long
enough to develop the muscles con-
cerned ia that action, but II the speed
ing is discontinued for long time the
action disappears. Another way to
induce an artificial action is to lay
down poles for the horse to step over,
but this. too, produces but temper
ary Improvement Only by selecting
and breeding can the action of the
horse be permanently improved.

Dairy Cows Pay.


Leading dairymen declare that cows
pay better than any other kind of farm
live stock, for the reason that the
money is coming in every day. This
is apparent to every one that has con-
sidered the dairy COW in comparison
with the steer. The cow paysAetter
but requires more constant attention,
which is the great point against her
and will continue to be unless some
way is found of extracting her milk by
machinery. The price for the beef
steer comes in but once and that a
long time after the original invest
from the dairy COW come in continual
ly and sometimes she pays for her
self in single year. Under some
conditions a good dairy COW will pay
for herself twice over in a year. That
they will continue to pay well is evil
denced by the fewness of the men
that go into dairying. In other kinds
OF commercial effort the fact OF profit
is enough to draw men into the busi-
ness until the trade is crowded. Not
SO with the dairy COW. The farmer
does not like to be confined to his
farm and will forego the profits for
the sake of more enjoyable life. No
one will find fault with him for this;
but the fact remains that the profits
in the business are assured. Espe-
cially is this the case with farmers
living near cities or towns where they
can deliver the milk themselves and
get six or seven cents quart for it.

The matter of specifications for the
construction Of tile drains is in my
opinion very important, although al
most universally neglected, says Pro-
fessor Marston in a book on drainage
Investigations. Every engineer ought
to prepare and always keep on hand
regular printed specifications and
forms of agreement between land own
er and tile contractor, with blank
spaces for filing In particular names
and adding special clauses as individ-
ual pieces of work may demand, and
he ought to furnish a copy of such
printed forms with each set of plans.
he prepares At present there is too.
often only a general verbal agreement
between the land owner and the ditch
er. There Is no way to enforce good
work in all particulars, and too often
disputes and dissatisfaction regarding
the agreement and the work arise
which could readily have been pre-
vented had there been written specf-
hcations and agreement.
