ss Carlyle and Emerson once had pas
sage Of arms on the subject of the ex
istence Of the devil. Carlyle believed
In the devil. He had a robust and de-
faint faith in such a parsonage. and we
know that when Carlyle had belief in
anything 1t was so even if i wasn't
SO. The great American writT did not
believe. They argued the ehing for
some time. well, come and see him
for yourself" said Carlyle. and the
poor poet, wondering whether the 9TH
er had the devil chained up anywhere,
put on his hat and went out into the
London night. Carlyle took him round
to various gin shops in Seven Dials, to
certain dens Of infamy and low class
music halls. do you believe in the
devil now?" said Carlyle. Apparently
Emerson did not. They finished up
by going to the Distinguished Stran-
gers gallery Of the house of commons.
1t was wild night Of imprisoned
speeches, saving Of arms and thump
Ing of fists. Emerson had never seen
anything like it and said so, and Car
lyle nudged his elbow into Emerson's
ribs and whispered gravely, do you
believe in devil now?"

As to Ladies' and Gentlemen.

'Its fine thing to be lady or a
gentleman" said the bookkeeper.
whats your idea of a gentleman?
inquired the stenOgrapher.
"a man that's clean inside and out
who neither looks up to the rich MOI
down on the poor; who can lose with
out squealing and who can win with
out Dragging; who is considerable of
women, children and old people; who Is
too brave to lie, too generous to cheat
and who takes his share Of the world
and let's other people have theirs"
sand what does it take to make a
lady?" asked the stenographer.
'A perfect lady is woman who
can hear a choice piece of scandal
about her dearest enemy and then for

Huh cried the stenographer ''That
kind of woman wouldn't be lady,

VALUE OF THE SlLo.
A Money Maker That the Farmer In
slow to Appreciate.

A Money Maker That the Farmer In
Slow to Appreciate.
A. w. Trow, president Of the Mime
sofa State Dairy association and one OF
the most enthusiastic dairymen in his
state, spoke on the value of the Silo"
at the recent Iowa dairy convention
he believes that Iowa farmers need
much more instruction in the matter of
cheaper feeds and better merhods in
dairying. The time has gone by when
Grated as they were in the early days.
A farmer must raise an abundance of
his own feed. Clover and corn fodder
can be grown anywhere in Iowa aud
are splendid rations. There is nearly
as much feed in the stalk as in the ear
of corn, and the silo is a preservative
OF both the corn and the ear. 1t Is a
money maker for the farmer, although
he is slow to see this and still slower
to put his money into this device
To fill Mr. Trow's siIo, which is 18
feet in diameter, 80 feet in height and
holds 100 tons, the following help is re-
Quired: One man and four horses to
cut the corn, five or six men and teams
with wagons to haul to cutter, one
man to feed the machine and one man
in the silO. Mr.. Trow usually fills his
silo In about two days with this amount
Of help. He let's 1t settle and then fin
ishes filing in about ten days.
Mr.. Griswold, prominent farmer
near Lacrosse, Wis, was visited by
Mr.. Trow recently He has farm Of
fifty acres, on which he keeps twenty
eight cows and twenty head of young
stock and horses. The total revenue
from this farm is $4,000. Mr.. Griswold
has two silos-one for summer and one
for winter-and in recent years has
been able to raise the average product
Of his cows from 242 to 442 pounds OF
butter per year.
Mr.. TrOw recommends planting corn
for the silo north and south and plant
ing about twice as thick as you would
for husking on the richest piece OF
ground on your farm. He advises using
the same sort of corn you would plant
for your ordinary field corn. He says
1t is not well to begin to fill the silo
when the corn is too green.-Creamery

DIPLOMATIC Gun Play.

The Coffeyville (Kan.) Journal tells a
story of the quick wit OF a western gun
artist: Bob Chestnut had an alterca-
ton with an Irishman in western
cattle camp many years ago. The
lrishman was bully and bad man.
While Chestnut always wore a brace
Of six shooters in his belt, he also car
ried sudden emergency Derringer in
his outside coat pocket. The Irish
man had an eleven inch Colt already in
his hand Bob thrust his hand in his
pocket for his Derringer, but the weap-
on had slipped down in hole in the
lining. His hand coming in contact
with his pipe, he quickly drew it out
and placed it in his mouth. The Irish
man lowered his gun, which he had
elevated when Bob thrust his hand in
to his pocket. Bob reached for his
pocket again, presumably for his to-
bacco. Fumbling around. he secured
the Derringer, brought it into play like
a flash Of lightning. and they carried
the Irishman away.

Feeding Young Calves.

1t sometimes happens that young
calves when fed nice clover hay are
taken with impactiOn of the rumen,
and they generally die. We once lost
q valuable cow and fine young bull
from this ailment. 1t is generally un-
derstood now by veterinarians that
this trouble largely comes from over
feeding The animal eats more than
1t can remasticate. Constant care is
needed with young calves to guard
against oyerfeeding Their digestion
Is easily upset, and every attack gives
them a serious setback.-Hoard's
Dairyman.

Much of the dirt which may be
seen on the cheesecloth strainer and
which dissolves and passes through
dandruff, hairs, flecks of dried manure,
bacteria and the like that get into milk
falls in from above during the process
of milking, writes Vermont farmer
In American CultiyatOr. Now, strain
Ing milk through cbeesecloth only re-
moves a part The situation can be
bettered to a marked degree, the keep
ing quality of the milk be enhanced
and the likelihood that the milk will
make good butter be increased by at
tention to few details that are nei-
Their costly in money or time or diff
cult to install.
Wipe udder and abdomen with a
damp cloth Immediately before milk
ing.
Provide mixers with clean clothes.
Fill seams of dairy utensils with
solder and use some form of the SAM
tary or dirt excluding milking pals.
There are several forms Of the latter.
One is a pail covered with -four"
funnel covered with wire gauZe, into
which fits a loose ring whereby may
be fastened in a few layers of cheese
cloth. Another is closed pail with q
large opening covered with wire
mesh and absorbent cotton And still
a third and very practical pail is one
with shoulder and hood, which is
otherwise open. According as this is
held the amount of dirt entering the
pail may be cut down from 60 to 90
per cent.
II now, after the organisms have
been thus excluded, their growth and
multiplication are checked by low tenn
peratures, one may feel fairly certain
that the milk will have lease Of life
almost as great as that of a ton of coal
during cold wave.

Plants That Mimic Stones.

In South Africa a plant Of the genus
mesembryanthemum growing ON stony
ground, so closely resembles pebble
that it has been picked up in mistake
for a stone. Another species Of the
same plant, growing on the hills
around the Karru, produces two leaves
about as large as ducks eggs, having
a surface resembling weathered stone
Of brownish gray color tinged with
green. These plants look like stones,
but for a short time they put forth
bright yellow flowers. Still another
species of the same plant resembles
the quartz pebbles among which it
grows-Youth's Companion.

Clean Monday.

We have in Great Britain our Good
Friday, but Clean Monday is peculiar
ly a Grecian institution. 1t is the day
that ushers in the great Lenten fast at
Athens, and the people go holiday max
ing to eat Lenten fare on the hills
around the city, while the shepherds
and country people dance the ancient
Greek dances in the old temples. This
practice is termed cutting the nose Of
Lent" and obviously Clean Monday is
parallel to our Shrove Tuesday and it's
pancakes.--London Telegraph.

Fodder Corn.

The sowing of corn so thickly that
it will not ear and cutting it while
green and juicy for fodder give a ten
der food much relished by the dairy
cow. The fodder may be put in the
silo or cured in the shock, but in either
case it is doubtful if as much nourish-
ment is secured as if the crop were
sown thinner and left until the ears
pounds daily is a good ration.-Farm

OdOrs In the Cow Stable.

Be careful of the odors in the COW
stable. Milk is a subtle agent. Re-
Gently the milk and cream from a
farm had a rank taste Of turnips,
though the cows had had no turnips
A visit to the stable disclosed two big
boxes Of turnips stored in one part of
the stable. Days when the milk was
left standing little while it would
be almost unfit for use.-Farm Journal.

In. Spite Of the Song.

Are you fond of music?" asked a
stranger of the young man at the con-
cert, who was applauding vigorously
after pretty girl had sung song in
q very painful way.
"Not particularly" replied the young
man frankly, ''but I am extremely fond
of the musician"

HANDLING MILK

Diphtheria, tuberculosis, scarlet fever,
typhoid fever, cholera, choleraic dis
turbances and sore throat epidemics
have all been traced not infrequently
to milk supplies. Those milking or
taking care of the milk are generally
at fault, for such individuals may be
suffering from the disease or may be
in communication with some one who
has the disease. Accordingly means
of conveyance is provided. Therefore
those having communicable diseases
or in any way associated with others
having any of these diseases should
neither milk nor handle milk which is
consumed by the public.-Michigan Elk
pertinent Station Bulletin.
Milking Utensils.
Perhaps one Of the most common
sources of impure milk, although 1t is
not usually admitted, is the polluted
condition of the utensils which are en-
ployed in the care Of milk. From
100000 to 100000 germs have been.

many thousands per square inch.
Care OF the Separators.
In order to have the perfect motion
of the bowl the separator must be set
level and be kept clean and well oiled,
says Professor Webster, chief Of the
dairy division department Of agricul
ture. The Oil should be thin or light,
so that it will not gum the wearing
parts. A heavy oil will make the ma
chine run hard and will gum quickly
on small, high speed bearings. All the
bearings Of the machine should be fire.
Quently flushed with coal oil. 1t Is
well to make q run about once in two
or three weeks, using coal oil on all the
bearings. This keeps the parts free
from gum and washes out grit or sand
that may have blown into them. It
an excellent plan to have cover OF
closely woven cloth or oilcloth that can
be kept over the machine while it is
not in operation.
The Cow Barn Od0r.
A cow barn flavor, due to unclean
milking, is often caused by wetting the
hands or not properly brushing off the
cows bag before milking, by allowing
the milk to remain In the barn after
milking or by not keeping the stable
clean and properly ventilated.
