TalIowy Batter.

Referring to the statements OF prac-
tical farmers, l.. s. Hardin says In
Home and Farm: In regard to feeding
wheat bran. they tell me am entirely
right In what l said and that there IL
too much oil In cotton seed for a regu-
lar diet for cows, while wheat bran
has Just enough, II has other excellent
dietary qualities. These gentlemen tell
me that two pounds OF cottonseed
meal is ~ much as one should feed q
cow in days ration when butter 10
made, and It should then be fed with
corn ensilage made with the ears on
for its fat forming excellence. When
too much cottonseed meal is fed II
makes hard, tallowy butter, what in
the Chicago market would sell as sec
onds" or third rate butter. That Is how
! would rate what l have seen.

How TO Grow Alfalfa.

Alfalfa must he reset every third
year. l have been using cutaway har-
rows for -resetting II along the Pacific
coast for a great many years. The
best method of resetting is to SOW
about ten pounds Of new seed to the
acre; then so over 1t with the cutaway
harrow, set al light angle, in both
directions, splis the heads of the old
plants and reset with the new seed.
By this meaCs the crop can be pro
duced continuously for long term Of
years,-G. NJ. Clarke in Country Cen

In the Igechanical operation OF a
separator none tut the best oil should
be used, and this should not be allowed
to gum or become dirty on the bear
ings. 1t Is good practice to flush the
bearings with Kerosene occasionally by
making run with kerosene In the oil
cups. This will serve to cut out any
gum or dust tina: has accumulated In
the bearings and will make the ma
chine run much freer and easier.

front as shown. Then hinge the box to
the wall by the top, as indicated in the
cut. The box will rest firmly against
the wall and can be provided with nest
ing material. When this is soiled and
broken the box can be raised to the
position shown In the cut, when all the
material in the nests will fall to the
floor, leaving the box clean. 1t is al
most impossible to clean out the cor
ners Of a nest box that is nailed In
place, and In the dirt that fills the cor
ners vermin are sure to multiply. An
orange box makes two handy nests,
with almost no work, and hinged In
this way makes cleaning easy.

ate mutton before playing the part Of
lover, beef before playing that of muir

IN THE DAIRY

II Is the Old beef form pure and sim
pie, and the breeders OF these cattle
tell us that they are breeding for milk,
are producing desirable milk cattle and
want the dairy world to believe they
are on the lines Of dairy development,
As with the shorthorns, every COW
that shows decided talent for milk pro.

knowledged standard they are breed.

Devons are a very active breed OF
cattle. They are good walkers aud

There Is no breed giving better quail
ity of milk. Cows give thirty-ive to
ffty-fiye pounds of milk per day, test

making two to two and half pounds
of butter per day. Therefore let the
Devon be given its rightful place
among the breeds. The three BIS for
the Devon are Beef, Butter and Beau

Hoard's Dairyman.
The other Side.
Some of the Devon cows are profita-
Bile; others are not. That is true even
with the best and most pronounced
dairy breeds. But the breeders Of
dairy cattle are not going along breed
ing as far away from the dairy con-
formation as they can, building up the
beef form and carcass, establishing
beef heredity - in short, doing all In
their power to eradicate the milking
quality by trying to make COW as
wholly un6tted for doing work 90 she
can be, says Hosrd's Dairyman.
They try at least to breed toward the
construction of dairy COW. The Dev-

Captain Muddy Pete took full command

Captain Muddy Pete took full command
And told the Bears just where to stand,
And what to do and where to go,
And to point the nozzle high or low.
They climbed up ladders in clouds Of smoke,
And lifted hose and windows broke,
And carried goods out to the street, =
And burned their ears and scorched their feet.
They saved two boys from the highest floor
Who were in a room and had locked the door
The wind was blowing both hard and high,
And it carried fire to roofs near by. ~
TEDDY-G was ordered by Muddy Pete I.
To carry ladder across the street, =.
And 20 up to a roof with hose in hand, 49,. =
And on the ridge to take his stand
And turn the hose all round about
Till every fire he could see was out.
And thus they worked like trained iremen
Till there wasn't spark where the fires had been.
The man that owned the dry goods store
Took the Bears to his home for an hour or more
And Cribs and Pete for cream and cake s.
And offered them cash which they wouldn't take.
He ordered carriage with coachman swell
To take them back to their hotel
And promised to print in the local press
Their pictures large in fremen's dress
And full report Of the fire that day
And the things he heard the townsfolk say
About bravery shown and the speed they made:
Captain Muddy Pete and his fire brigade.
Said TEDDY-B, in their room that night,
zone fire day is enough to fight;
I'm stiff and tired and burned and sore;
I'm going to sleep week or more,
And read in bed and play I'm sick
Till get tired Of doing the trick. =
Said TEDDY-G, he put out the light,
You fought one fire; had two to fight;
But I'd rather play with a house afire
Than fool again with electric wire.''
