Much Amusement in a Watermelon
Party-An Evening with Ceisbri-
notwithstanding to Prospec-
tive Brides.

Just as long as hot weather contln-
ues watermelon parties will be one
of the faYorite methods OF entertain
ing. The delicious fruit must be kept
on ice at least "a hours before serv-
ing, then cut it in fancy shapes and
place on large platters. Have colored
walters dressed like real Old-time
plantation darkies, with banjo or
two: they will provide just the kind
of entertainment for party of this
description. Of course their star song
must be "Den, o Dat Watermelon.
Ask each guest to count the seeds in
their portion, the one obtaining the
largest number to receive a prize;
there must also be souvenir for the
person having the smallest number.
For the latter take q small melon, cut
off the top and scoop out the fruit,
line with tin foil or wax paper and fill
with bon-bons, then tie the top back
on with pink and green ribbon. Fill
tiny bottles with extract of pepper
mint, tie the corks in with narrow
pink and green ribbon and put one at
each place for souvenir.

STILL ROOM FOB IMPROVEMENT
American Farmer Learning TO Do
Profitable Dairying.

In a recent conversation with the
writer, Prof. Fraser said that the
American farmer has not learned how
to make the most out Of his land and
has not yet acquired the ability to
make as much out of his COWS as some
of the European dairymen do. He
declares that it is easily possible for
the American cow owner to make
twice as much milk and cream out of
it as the average cow makes. This
is a fourfold increase of the returns
from an acre of land.
There is no doubt that the pro-
fessor is right and that we cam accom-
plish four times as much as we are
doing now and with the same gen.
eral expenditure. This is a remark
able statement, but it is one easy to
prove. The average cow is poor
specimen of the bovine race, making
less than $50 pounds of butter in a
year. 1t is not great stretch of the
imagination to see every cow giving
milk enough to produce at least 800
pounds of butter per year, or all cows
giving enough to bring the average
UP to that point.
On the other hand, it Is not an ex.
travagant thing to believe that the
time is coming when the average acre
of land will produce twice as much
forage as at the present time. In
this country we have had such a
superabundance of land that we have
fallen into the habit of using it waste.
fully. Some of the pastures are in
the condition in which they were
when the timber was cut off. The
soil has never been turned, and the
wild grasses a*e the only ones to be
found. 1t takes a good many acres of
such land to support cow, especially
in a dry summer, such as this has
been in some sections devoted to
dairying.
1t will require many years yet to
awake our COW owners to the real
conditions as they exist and to COM
pare them with the conditions that
may exist. Could we drop some of
these cow owners down into the fields
of Holland or Denmark, the impress
sion might be sooner made. To do
profitable dairying requires wedding
out process in our methods. The
method that has been followed for
two centuries of pasturing cows on
any kind of pasture nature may give
us should be abandoned. The old
natural pasture does not produce
enough feed even when it it is not
oyerstocked, and it is frequently SO
badly overstocked that it viii not
produce as much as it might.

An EVENING with Celebrities.

For this affair the hostess had saved
pictures of famous people and mount
ed them on colored cardboard, then
they were'pinned on the wall and put
in CONSPICUOUS places throughout the
rooms. Each one bore a number
which was duplicated in the catalogue
which was handed to the guests as
they entered the rooms. A very inter-
esting time followed. There were
some 80 pictures in the Gallery"
among them 'Longfellow,' Queen
Wilhelmina," alexandra of England"
Susan B. Anthony" ''Mrs. Potter
Palmer" etc. After the allotted time
the correct list was read and prizes
awarded for the best and poorest lists.
When the refreshments were served,
partners were found by piecing out the
sections of Mother Goose" rhymes.

Growth of Dairying.

The growth of dairying in all the
civilized nations of the world during
the past 25 years has been very great.
The increase of population in the ma
lions has made it desirable to produce
concentrated foods that viii keep for
a long time. Dairy products in some
of their forms can be kept for a long
time, and up to a certain limit the
keeping improves their digestibility.
The development of dairying has been
largely in the countries having q tenn
perate climate, but the industry is
gradually working toward the torrid
regions. In the latter localities the
problems connected with the keeping
of milk are greater than In the colder
localities, but the problems of feeding
are fewer. The south will yet engage
largely in dairying.

FARM SEPARATOR CREAM.
Can Be Delivered in Good Order BY
Proper Care.

The chief difficulty in the way OF
success in all creameries where the
cream is collected instead of the milk
is the difficulty of getting the cream
delivery in a sweet, clean favored
condition. Patrons who deliver milk
know that it must be delivered sweet
daily, or at least six times a week in
warm weather, in order to have it in
a condition fit to make fine butter.
On the other hand, cream will remain
sweet for longer time than milk. and
most persons consider that it does
no harm if the cream sours-in fact,
it pays better to have it sour, because
they receive higher test for such
cream from those creameries using
the oil test. This is the chief reason
why the oil test should be discarded
in favor of the Babcock, which latter
test places a premium on sweet cream.
In order to get sweet cream for
creameries the two main requisites
are to keep everything clean and to
keep the cream as cold as possible ua-
til it is delivered at the creamery.
The first requisite should be easy, but
many persons fail here for the same
reason that an old bachelor failed in
getting good results in his cooking by
following recipes in cookbooks. When
some one asked him il he had ever
tried any of the recipes for cooking,
he said he had tried q good many OF
them, but never had good results.
When asked why, he said they all be-
gan in the same way, take clean
dish" and he couldn't do that very
handily, consequently ne gave up re-
ferring to cookbooks. The second
requisite is gotten by having on hand
a supply of ice or cold water. sOrdin-
arily each and every patron ought to
have supply of ice for cooling
lied in the following, as presented by
Prof. Dean in the Canadian Dairy.
man:
First--Clean the pals, cans and
separator daily or twice daily.
Second--Cool cream to so degrees
by the use Of ice or cold water
Third-Have rich cream testing not
less than 25 to 35 per cent. fat.
Fourth--Fresh cream should not
be added to older cream until after it
is cooled to so degrees.
Fifth-Deliver daily or at least four
times q week in warm weather. The
cream can or tanks should be protect
ed from sun, rain and dust while on
the wagons.
Sixth-Proper weighing, measuring
and sampling are essential for salts
faction among the patrons.
Seventh-Cream should be pasteur-
lied and cooled at the creamery, espe-
cially in the fall and winter, to re-
move Objectionable fiavors and to
add keeping quality to the butter.
Eighth-Cooperation on the part OF
the drivers, patrons and creamerymen
is necessary @ order to improve the
quality of the cream and butter.

WHAT CONTRASTING DID.
1t Enabled One Farmer to improve His
Herd and Do Profitable Dairyinq.

A few years ago a creamery started
in a certain locality. The milk was
bought by test. One farmer didn't
have enough milk to interest the man

Farmer, And what he had was a
poor quality, three per cent. or lower.
He was pretty sore because, you
see. he wanted TO be "our influential
citizen" 1t was like being slapped in
the face to be told his milk was no
good. Finally he concluded it was use-
less to buck capital. He began to
wake up and use the part OF his ana
tony that he carried under his hat.
He improved his herd. He bought
a Babcock tester and used it. If he
SUSPECTED cow wasn't up TO par he
took a sample of her milk to be test

He fed better and gave better care.

To Develop the Chest.

The best exercise for development
is stretching movement. Stretch
well and thoroughly over and over
again, until the muscles of the arms
and shoulders feel quite loosened.
One can do so lying down or standing,
but it is best when stretching the
shoulders to stand.
While in an upright position, throw
the arms to the back of the head and
stretch well. After she has exercised
her back and shoulders in this way,
a woman will find it hard to sit in a
STOPPING attitude; and she will with
out effort square her shoulders and
hold herself erect.

When a farmer sells butter his loss
in fertility does not exceed so cents

aceous and hence of little value as
plant food. But if he sells cheese the
loss of fertility is $40 per ton, because
cheese is largely CONFESSED of nitro.
