building Up a Beef Herd.

1t is important to have cattle Of
good individual quality and to have
this backed up by good pedigrees. But
it is equally important that their en-
viroment be right, writes New York
farmer in American Agriculturist. A
farm that Is naturally poor and grows
poor crops can only develop stock Of
poor quality. l am positive Of this.
The farm on which my cattle are kept
is considered one Of the best in the
county and is not getting any poorer
with the large amount Of manure my
stock make. 1t is not what could be
called high ground, but almost level

limestone and blue grass lands of Ken.

The Honey Muskmelon.

One of the astonishing things in
vegetable growing or rather in grow
ing vegetables for the express purpose
of supplying the consumer, is the ut
ter Indifference shown by the grower
to the matter of quality. The same
thing applies to fruit. 1t would be
excusable If there were no other sorts,
but when there are a dozen more or
less far better than the varieties Of
fered 1t Is strange, indeed, they are
not grown. A family we'll known to
the writer was especially fond Of musk
melons and bought them in large guam
titles until all that were offered them
were so poor in quality they stopped
using them and the producer lost valu-
able trade. The Honey melon, which
has been tested for three years past,
Is one Of the promising new sorts. 1t
is a nicely formed melon, the skin
green and the flesh a yellowish green.

Hasty Marriages.

A popular picture represents mud
despatched coachman sitting in the
tap-room of an English inn, telling to
story of the clipping lovers who sit on
the other side Of the partition.
The popularity Of the picture doubt
less represents the attitude of the gen.
eral public toward the young man
and the young woman who have deter
mined to marry in spite Of opposition.
1t is the old story of all mankind low
ing a lover, and If any further evil
dence were needed 1t could be found
in the prominence of news of elope-
ments, and in the repressed editorial
chuckle with which certain places are
called the Gretna Greens Of America.
All this manifestation of sympathy
may spring from a wholesome sent1-
ment but it is iii considered. The
parents of these young people have
clothed and fed and educated and
cared for them, only to be made a
laughing stock when they seek to adj
wise their son or their daughter in the
mObL SERIOUS event VI lllc. lhcll ia
bors and their sacrifices are entitled to
more consideration than this.
Most of the hasty and clandestine
marriages are performed by justices
Of the peace or other civil servants;
but not a few are solemnized by cler-
gymen, who thereby sacrifice their own
dignity and lower the standard which
the church ought everywhere to main
tain. Is it any wonder that divorces
are common when youth who is
earning hardly enough to support him
self can find some one willing, with
out question, to marry him to school
girl In short dresses?
The young people themselves may
not be deferred by any advice which
could be offered, but If the Companion
might be permitted to address a word
to them 1t would be this: Consider
hrst Of all whether haste be necessary
whether anything will be lost by wait
ing. Then think a little Of the father
and mother who will have to nurse
their wound in silence.

To Fight Boil weevsl,

Secretary Wilson, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, asks in his re-
port to Congress that $105,500 be ap-
propriated as the boil weevil item for
the following year. 1t is proposed that
the Secretary be authorized to expend
the appropriation in such manner as
he shall deem best, in cooperation
with the State experiment stations
and practical cotton growers. OF the
special appropriation Of $195, 1000 which
was made for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1906, $1O5,OOO has been used
by the Bureau of Plant Industry In
the study of cotton diseases, diversi-
fication and cooperation with the va
rious experiment stations in extend
ing the improved cultural methods. II
Ia recommended that this appropria-
ton be continued, not as separate
item. but as a part of the regular Blu,
reau funds. 1t is highly important
the Secretary Of Agriculture adds
that the investigation on breeding OF
new cottons, the general propaganda
work on improved cultural methods
the study Of the diseases and diversifi
cation Of crops, be continued and ex
tended into other Southern States like
ly to be invaded by the weevil. The
object Of this appropriation is to en-
able the department to continue thii
work.

Demand for Trotters.

The breeding Of hackneys may an
swer for men Of great wealth and
large incomes, but the average Ameri-
can farmer will find 1t much more
profitable to breed from the best of
trotting stock, says American Cultiva-
tor. He should aim to produce ami
mails Of good size, high intelligence,
pleasant disposition, pure trotting
gait and high, all round action. There
is always good demand for such ami
mails and at prices that will insure a
profit to the man who breeds and rails
es them, provided they are properly
educated to harness and well fitted for
the market.

The Way To Entertain.

How shall we entertain? asks q
writer. Joyously! Pleasure Is con.
tagious. Remember, hostess, every
house has Its climate; some are in the
torrid, some in LIE temperate, some In
the frigid zone. Remember, moreover
that you create the climate of your
house. More important than the style
Of your dress, the ordering of your
banquet, the setting Of your table, Is
the mood in which the appointed hour
Of entertainment finds you. When the
door bell peals to the ring of the first
arrival put aside all thoughts Of how
you look, how your drawing room
looks, how good, bad, or Indifferent the
dinner may prove; Danish every care
meet your guest with nothing on your
mind save the anticipation Of passing
and helping him to pass a delightful
hour. II you can do this the battle II
already half won.

The following, with reference to the
decline of butter manufacture in En-
gland, Is from Hon. Frank w. Mahin,
United States consul at Nottingham,
England: Zone plausible explanation
of the manifest decline in dairying in
England is that it Is more profitable
to sell the milk, the drinking Of which
Is increasing, than to convert it into
butter. Consequently the average
British farmer is making no butter to
sell, but is even buying what he needs
for his own use. Furthermore, it Il
asserted that some English diaries buy
foreign butter and sell it as their OWE
productive domestic article, though
inferior, in the judgment Of many con
sumers, commanding a higher price
than the foreign

To Keep Sweet Potatoes,

When you have no cellar that will
keep all the sweet potatoes you need,
wash and I'LL a boiler full Of potatoes,
cover with cold water, place them
over the fire and boil until you can
pierce them with a fork. Remove
from boiler and scrape the peeling off;
slice very thin and spread on news
paper and dry them in the sun like
fruit. Soak before cooking. Add a
little sugar and butter, and you will
have q nice breakfast dish.

Wheat the Best sheep Food.

Some of the experiment stations
find that a pound Of wheat in feeding
has more nutriment than a pound Of
any other grain. In corn there is 8
per cent of digestible protein, barley
500 per cent, oats 9.25 per cent, rye
e.12, while wheat has 1923 per cent.
An English authority estimates wheat
fed to lambs is worth about 76 cents
per bushel. The Indiana station real
lied II cents bushel for wheat fed
to sheep.

Fat in Milk.

The percentage of fat in milk from a
single COW may vary, one day giving
different results from the next. In an
experiment with a choice Jersey COW
the milk was found to range from 4.45
per cent to 6.S3 per cent. A single test
with a cow may, therefore, be of no
value, as In the one case more milk
would be required to make a pound Of
butter than In the other, an was shown
in the variation In fat with the above
experiment.
