No, l haven't he said. Why don't

Yes, a towel. Here. let me show you.
Take a corner of the towel, so; lay the

Pairing In Parliament.

The custom of pairing is quite un-
known to the forms of parliament it.
self. Any mention of it within either
chamber would be altogether out of
order. but there is pleasant fiction
that it is purely private arrangement
to be made at the discretion of those
concerned. This is true enough to a
limited extent and for a short time,
but pairing on any great party division
cannot be lightly carried out, and a
member who desires to pair at such a
time will find that this can only be
done safely through the whips and not
at all unless some really good reason
can be given for absence. - London

An Old Cure For Scurvy.

Scurvy used to be regularly treated
when it was possible by burylng the
patients up to their necks IN tresh
earth, practice officially recommend
ed in the British navy less than a cen
fury ago. Twenty Of the crew OF the
frigate Blonde were SO treated on the
shore of Donna Maria bay, Santo DO

soil on the beach. Into each of these
a man was put and buried to his chin,
while. detachment of their shipmates
was told off to keep the flies from
their faces They were kept in this
position for two hours, and the treat
ment was so effective that four days
later all the sufferers were able to re-
join the frigate.

Looking Glasses In Collins.

One Of the ancient customs connect
ed with Swedish funerals was to place
small looking glass in the coffin OF
an unmarried female. so that when the
last trump sounds she might be able
to arrange her tresses. 1t was the
practice for Scandinavian maidens to
wear their hair flowing loosely, While
the matrons wore it bound about the
head and generally covered with some
form Of cap; hence the unmarried wo-
man was imagined as awakening at
the Judgment day with more untidy
locks than her welded sisters and
more in need of a ss.-Westminster

DAIRY COW EDUCATION.
Development VIII Keep Pace with
the Dnfryman's Progress.

: : : g III
Dairy cow education or development
is the one great thing we need at the
present time. Probably not one-tenth
ofathe COW keepers in New York have
the skill and persistence fully to sde-
velop the stock in hand or know its
possibilities. This is not il question of
breeding, but does concern our farm
economy.
In the case of animal building the ono
essential that stands out as pre-emir
nently requisite is greater power of4as-
similation for this one man out of ten
to handle. We do not need greater
hardness, in the usual acceptance of
the. term. Dairy COWS are to have
greater comforts in the future by way
of protection and warmth. Nor. in
my Judgment, is there any place for a
cow with unusual strength of bone
and muscle especially adapted to long
range foraging while cows are to be
pastured. The tendency must be to-
ward increased stable feeding (soiling)
or smaller pastures with more heritage.
Natures laws are fast and immuta-
BILE. The dairy cow will develop no faster
than We develop the dairyman to look
after her wants, else there would come
destruction to her race. New York is
naturally, if the word has not lost it's
significance in the dairy world adapt
ed to the dairy cow. She must have,
so long as manufacture and commerce
remain it's great wealth producers,
splendid markets for her product;
hence her development should be guild
ed along specific lines of increased
power of assimilation and milk secre-
tion.-H. E. Cook in Rural New Yorker.

Milk Capacity OF n Cow.

A COW, with reasonable care and
feed, ought to average from five to
eight quarts of milk per milking at
least ten months of the year; eleven
months is better. This average would
mean eight to sixteen quarts of milk
per milking during the first months Of
the lactation period and less later.
From this amount of milk, with prop
er management, from one to two
pounds of butter per day should be
made at first, with correspondingly
less later

PecuIfarfties of Iron.

Men who have worked a lifetime in
fashioning cast iron under the lathe
are greatly surprised on learning that
the same material, when employed in
the heating pipes Of a blast furnace
stove, grows from six inches to a foot
in length from constant use. And the
furnace man is equally unprepared to
hear that the core bars used for casting
pipes lose as much as three inches in
casting twenty or thirty pieces.

Feeding the Milk Maker

Cabbage to be fed to dairy COWS
without damaging the flavor of the
milk or butter must be fed very care
fully and no diseased cabbage given
to the animals, says Professor Stone
of Cornell university in Rural New
Yorker do not believe that cabbage
can be carried very far into the Win

coming decayed to injure the flavor Of
the milk unless indeed at feeding time
the decayed leaves were carefully re-
moved, which would be process prob
ably too expensive and disagreeable to
be warranted for stock feeding.
faint From Green Feeds.
1t has been our experience that near
ly all of the green feeds, such as green
clover, rye, oats, peas, corn, etc, will
give more or less faint to the milk if
fed Immediately before milking, but
fed afterward there is time before the
next milking for the blood to be purg-
ed of it's uniformed bitter principle and
the milk is safe. AS to turnips, cab
bage, potatoes, etc, | am inclined to
believe If the food is clean and tops
not frosted they can be fed with the
same immunity from harm that clover
can. = Michigan Cor HOard's Dairy

A man Or woman who handles tin

to have a first class ''smeller." That

Slowly but surely the practice of buy

Working Butter.

AS simple as the process of butter
working may seem, good quality Of
butter can easily be spoiled by i'm
proper procedure when worked. If the
working machine or butter worker is
used there is not much danger of the
butter being spoiled, for it is then sub
jected to a squeezing or pressing proc
ess which forces the excess brine out
and insures a uniform appearance to
the butter When the uniformity men
toned is perfect the working should
be stopped at once, and the butter is
ready for packing. 1t is when the ladle
is used in hand working that damage
is likely to be done. Instead of the
pressure and squeezing process men
toned. if the ladle is drawn over the
surface the grain is broken. Over
worked butter has a salvy appearance.

No experienced dairyman anxious to
improve his herd will buy his future
sire as calf. He should at least be a
yearling, and two or three year old is
still more desirable, because the calves
of the latter will show more vigor and
vitality and be larger in most cases.
The production of the dam and con-
fOrmity of dam and sire should be well
investigated not only as to large flow
of milk, but also as to quality, and this
should especially be done in the selec-
ton Of Holstein bull.
My experience as breeder has con-
WINGED me that in order to get 100 per
cent milk out Of dairy cow, no matter
what her breed, the different parts of
her body must have a certain percent
age of proportion to each other, and to
fix this percentage in the offspring
would select the sire not only by exte-
riOr characteristics, but measure him
and require the same measurement as
in the cow, with few variations as to
head, neck, etc.
The size of the animal as long as he
has passed his first year is immaterial,
as the proportion of body would be the
same as in the grown animal. or
course I should also require the desira-
BILE points perceptible to eye and hands,
as straight back, correct standing,
mellow skin Out not paper hide,
good secretion, lively but not treacher-
Gus eye, gentle disposition, etc. But
the right makeup of the body the cow
must have to enable her to produce
the largest flow of milk cannot be
measured with the eye, but requires
the tape measure, which is, in my firm
opinion and experience, the only true
guide for the farmers selecting either
a bull or a cow.-Cor. Country Gentle
