LanghInE as an Art.

Young women in society aie laugh Ing great deal nowadays Even those who are not naturally given to laughter send out peal after peal of musical "Ha hssl'
 This silvery laugh is the result I weeks and months of special training and hours and hours of patient prac- tice. Perfection Is attained only through private instruction. This laugh is a branch of musical training applied to embellish conversation in the most pleasing manner.
 The girl with the loud, hearty laugh Is all right in the mountain or seaside resort. but that same laugh is tsbcoeG in the drawing room. She realizes this, and so she goes to a musical trainer and cultivates a merry laugh which h soft and refined and delightful to hear, She can laugh in every known key and In every pitch. The tuning fork is & most necessary adjunct to this prscticS although piano CT any musical instru' ment can be used. It is best however, to use the old fashioned tuning fork, aays a very successful trainer of the voice
 There is a great difference in these sIlvery laughs and an art in their prop CT use. A part of the training is to dis. tinguish the proper laugh, proper pitch and proper kcy to express various de grees of pleasure saure, interest or merely light laugh which means noth' ing. Then there is a bewitching, low keyed, mellow contrSlto laugh, which Is not possible for everybody to attain. Of course there is with these laughs the necessary expression of the eye, which Is to complete the impression one wishes so convey -Philadelphia Times

Pig raising is, no doubt, very prof
liable business where cheap food can
be, had from city garbage, else so
many of the extensive farmers near
the cities would not persist in swine
breeding year after year; so well, in
fact, does the business pay that the
nearby farmers sometimes express
wonder that more is not done in the
pig raising line on the back farms
where the food can be raised very
cheaply and the swine pastured a good
part of the time, and all without the
annoyance to neighbors sometimes
caused in thickly settled districts. A
good market can be found almost any
where for young pigs of common
stock, while pure-breds can be sold at
correspondingly better values by those
who have the knack OF working up a
trade in such lines.

Soil Feeding Exneriments.

Two years experiments at the Ore

suits: Twenty-Five hogs and seven
teen head of cattle have been kept
from the middle Of May to the middle
of August on a very small acreage Of
ground. Crimson clover was first fed

was used, followed by peas and green
oats. After this a second crop was
fed. and last third crop.
An account of the cost for cutting

which has aggregated three cents per
COW. Based on present prices the in

A conference lately held in Boston
to consider how a greater number of
able young men could pe induced to
enter the ministry, was attended by
two bishops, five heads of theological
schools and colleges, ana by clergy
men, editors and others-1S persons
in all. They agreed unanimously
that so far as numbers went there
were ministers enough, but that what
the churches needed was ADLER and
more effective men in the ministry.
In its present state the Protestant
ministry seems an extra hazardous
profession, in which I1e peace OF
mind, as well as the maintenance Of
conscientious men is exposed TO too
many risks. It does no; surprise the
thoughtful observer that in spite Of
it's great attractions the ministry
finds trouble in attracting the class
OF recruits it needs. One of the
privileges that are dear to the
American mind is that of amending
the details Of his theology whenever
the thinks he has got enough new
light to warrant it. A layman may
do that without embarrassment, but
if minister does it he must carry
his congregation with him or pre-
pare to be charged with a breach of
contract.-Harper's Weekly.

Eggs in Waterrlass.

1t Is believed that in waterglass we
have a preservative which will, when
used for preserving eggs, give better
satisfaction than any other method
available for those who desire to keep
eggs for any great length of time.
Eggs put down by this method have
kept for three to nine months. and the
eggs have some out in better condition
than by any other method tested.
When strictly fresh eggs only have
been put down. at the end of six
months they have invariably come
out in better shape than the average
marEet eggs supposed to be fresh.
Use pure water that has been thor.
oughly boiled and then cooled. To each
ten quarts of water add one quart or
slightly less of waterglass. When the
heavy jelly-like solution is used, three
fourths of waterglass will be ample.
The solution may be prepared. placed
In the jar and fresh eggs added from
time to time until the jar is filed, but

Library Astride River.

Isaac F. Marcosson tells in the
April Worlds Work how Carnegie
libraries are given away. Among in
teresting stories of unusual compli-
cations connected with the gifts, the
following is one of the best:
'Mr. Carnegie believes in home
rule in all matters pertaining to the
location and conduct of the buildings.
But sometimeE complications arise,
as is the case Of a city through which
river flows. Then there is a con-
troversy as to which side shall have
the library. This happened at Water
loo, la. The city met the usual re-
quirements for taxation, but discus
sion arose between two factions
representing the peopie on both sides
of the river. Neither side would give
in. Finally a compromise was effect
ed, by which it was agreed to build
the library in the middle of the river.
When Mr.. Carnegie heard of this he
good-naturedly decided to end the
controversy by giving money for
library on each side Of the river.

Silnge VS.. Grain.

The object Of this experiment was to
determine whether silage might not
be substituted for Il considerable por-
ton of the grain usually fed to dairy
cows. Two ratiOns were fed carrying
practically the same amount of dry
| matter In one ration over fifty per
cent of this dry matter was derived
from silage and less than eighteen
per cent. was derived from grain.
In the other ration over fifty-seven
per cent. of the dry matter was de-
rived from grain, no silage being fed.
Ten cows, representing five different
breeds, were fed these rations from
two to four months, five cows taking
the test the full four months.
The COWS fed the silage ration pro-
duced 9G.T pounds of milk and l.0S
pounds Of butter fat per hundred
pounds of dry matter.
The cows fed the grain ration pro-
duced S1,3 pounds of milk and 80
pounds butter fat per hundred pounds
Of dry matter.
The cost of feed per hundred pounds
of milk was $OGS7 with the sllage
ration and S1.055 with the grain ra-
ton. The cost Of feed per pound of
butter fat was 1871 cents with the
silage ration and 22.1 cents with the
grain ration.
The average net profit per COW per
month lover cost of feed) was S5.SG4
with the silage ration and S2.465 with
the grain ration.
Comparing the average daily product
of each COW for the entire test with her
average daily product for the month
previous TO the change in ration Tor
the first month of their test in the
case Of two cows. the cows fed the
silage ration shrank 2.S4 per cent. in
milk and gained 1.S9 per cent. in butter
fat production. The cows fed the
grain ration shrank OH per cent. in
milk and 14.1S in butter fat produc.
tion.
Upon the conclusion of the expert
ment each lot of cows was found to
have gained in live weight: The silage
fed cows an average of Al pounds per
head, the grain fed cows an average
of 81 pounds per head.
The facts herein reported seem TO
justify the conclusion that silage can
be made TO take the place of a consid-
erable portion of the grain ration. 1t
is believed that by growing more of
the feeds rich in protein-cover. al
falfa, soy beans, cowpeas, field peas,
vetches and ensoiling them, or feeding
them as hay, it will be possible to fur
ther reduce the amount of grain feed.

quarters feet and Lake Ontario

PLANTATION of this rise is an increased
rainfall during the period, but wea-
ther bureau statistics show a de-
crease of precipitation. The imme-
diate effect is advantageous, as by in
creasing the draught of water in
lake channels the freight-carrying ca
pacity of lake vessels is increased,
but if the rise Of level proves con-
stant during long periods of time the
whole topography of the lake region

The savin ns of the Peonle.

The total deposits in all the savings
banks in the world, according to the
latest available statistics, amounted to
$10,500, 100000, contributed by S2,64O-
600 depositors. OF this total the Unit
ed States shows aggregate deposits of
$S,060, 0,179, 900, credited to 7,305,00 de-
positors. These figures indicate that
the United States, with les than 1-2
per cent of the total population con-
sidered, contributes over 80 per cent of
the total savings deposits recorded.
These figures help to explain the re-
markable manner in which the recent

Good Work with Hand sep,r,tors.

The method of separating cream by
hand machines on the farm and collect
ing it for the creameries is becoming
very popular in some regions and
seems likely to supersede the old plan
of taking the whole milk to the fac
tory.
The advantages of the plan are very
evident. The farmer is saved the daily
trip to the creamery, an item which
represents considerable time, and at
certain times of the year great incon-
venience. He has the fresh skimmill1
to use for calf feeding free from being
mixed with other milk, which may
be soured or contaminated with germs
of disease, and from neglected or badly
kept herds, and the milk is in the best
possible condition for production of
veal.
BY running route through the
cream district the collection can all
be done by one man, thus providing
the farmer n Harket for his cream at
his own door These advantages are
so evident that farmers are demand
ing the convenience and insisting on
being relieved from the need of hitch
ing up team TO haul the milk every
day.
The defects of the plan are such as
to have prevented the change in some
districts. The main trouble is the
lack of uniformity in the cream. Some
farmers with little experience with
modern dairying or the use of separa-
tors fail to exercise the care needed in
clean milking, a clean room for the
separator cooling the milk and separ-
ating it while it is fresh.
The problem of making the system
Il success is that of educating the pro-
ducers to separate the milk under the
best conditions and TO have the cream
collected regularly and frequently.
Cream collected once or twice a week
is unfit for use, but the successful
routes collect at least four times
week. Some creamery managers in
sist that the main trouble is the failure
to keep the cans clean. These man
ayers give special attention to deliver
ing the cans perfectly clean and sweet,
having double set of cans and leaving
them at each farm all ready to use.-
