The Lawn Mower.

The lawn mower is generally much
abused by the majority of those who
use it. When nicely adjusted and in
good working order it may be kept so
by hairs breadth turn Of the ADJUST
ing screws or bolts, and no one should
be allowed to NEEDLE with these parts
unless he fully understands them. The
blades of the lawn mower strike the
cutting bar in such manner as to be
largely self sharpening, and no ma
chine, if well oiled and adjusted, will
need sharpening unless it is run into
stones or other hard substances that
may dull or bend the knives. The or
dinary machine oil used upon larger
machines than the lawn mower, on
wagons, ETC., is too heavy for the lawn
mower, except in very hot weather.
and should be thinned with an equal
amount of kerosene. No machine will
keep in perfect working order for
great length of time without cleaning,
and the lawn mower, which is run
through so much dust and dirt, should
be taken apart once or twice every sea-
son, each part carefully cleaned and
wiped and then freshly oiled. The ma
chimes with large wheels and ball bear
ings run more easily than many of the
older patterns, but the latter if kept in
perfect order will run with compara-
tive ease and will do good service for
many years.-Suburban Life.

Ayrshire breeders for tie last fifty
years or more have been handicapped
In breeding because the standard Of
excellence has lacked uniformity be-
tween the three great breeding sections
for Ayrshire cattle, Scotland, Canada
and the States. The outlook for the
future seems much more hopeful, fer
all three have practically united on one
common scale of points as the standard
of excellence, and in future there
should be no wide difference between
Ayrshires OF the different sections. If
Ayrshires are to be kept as one breed
and one general family, there must
be more attention paid to breeding
after the pattern as laid down by the
different associations, and these asso-
Citations have united on a common
standard. There is no reason why breed
ers may not in ali the different coun-
tries work in unison to given stand
ard, said a speaker at the New England
Ayrshire club meeting.
The strongest point of the Ayrshire
COW, around which cluster all the other
points, are>the udder and teats, and this
is the same in all countries under the
recent revision-a large, square udder
with four quarters of equal capacity,
held strongly up on the belly, running
well forward and behind, up out of the

The Separator In Missouri.

. The hand cream separator is ver.I'
potent factor in Missouri dairying. 1t
came slowly at first, but Of late very
rapidly. 1t has come to stay and has
brought additional prosperity with it,
Any man with ten ordinary cows
who is where he can patronize a
creamery, either centralized or local,
cannot afford to be without one. The
extra cream saved in one year over
the deep can or crock system will
usually pay for the machine, and
the machine if treated decently will
last for ten or fifteen years There are
haaf a dozen makes of separators Oil
the market. Competition has forced
them all to become good and stay good,
The farm separator is now to the dairy
farmer what the twine binder is to the
grain farmer. 1t is possible to cut
grain with a cradle, but it would not
pay to do it in that way. The milk
producer can make some money il:
the old way of raising cream, but il
does not pay.-R. NJ. Washburn in
Kimbalrs Dairy Farmer.

ENLIGHTEN THE CONSUMER
Let Him know the Value of Milk a.
a Food.

Let Him Know the Value of Milk a.
Milk is not beverage, but an easily
digested perfect food. 1t requires no
cooking, contains no waste, is pala-
table, easily digested and is entitled to
be classed among the economical hui
man foods and ought to be more gen.
orally consumed.
One dollar spent for milk at cents
per quart furnishes IL pounds or
protein, 1.3 pounds of fat, 1T pounds
of carbohydrates and 10000 calories of
energy, while the same sum spent for
beef sirloin at 25 cents per pouna
furnishes 6 pound protein, 6 pounti
fat, no carbohydrates and 4,100 calo
ries of energy, or the same amour
spent for eggs at So cents per doZe..
furnishes 5 pound protein, a poun,
fat, no carbohydrates and 1900 calc-
ries of energy, or the dollar spent foi
oysters at So cents per quart gives u
3 pound of protein, 1 pound fat, =
pound of carbohydrates and LEO
calories of energy.
Thus we can show that many of the
standard foods are really luxuries n
price when compared with milk on the
scale of nourishment furnished for
definite sum- Now think you not IT,
the consumer. were made cognizant OF
these and other favorable facts, if they
were thrust before his notice as are
the claimed virtues of the so called
cereal foods, nostrums or worse, would
not consumption increase, naturally
making a better price?
Advertise the Facts.
Suppose you have a folder printed
enumerating these and other virtues
milk possesses, with younr name and
address and business on the margin,
this could be printed by your local
dairy organization or individually and
judiciously but literally distributed,
and then suppose you paint on your
barn the legend, Good Milk Is Per-
feet Food-Sweet Glover Farm Pro-
duces It-John Jones, Proprietor" in
stead of the lie that the nostrum man
will paint on if you allow it. Do you
not think that advertising space would
be as valuable to you as to the nostrum
man? Would it not be possible to
do good to your neighbor and to your
self at the same time? My experience
in this line answers in the affirmative.
1 am a hearty believer in the Russell
Sage or Rooseveltian philosophy OF
strenuosity, but muscular application
alone must not expect more than the
compensation usually paid for such ex-
ertion. Let us use our brains. 1t not
only pays, but it makes a better world.

How Houdon Was Saved.

and wished to have him guiuotined,
as he had declared war against all
the artists, his colleagues. Nine.
Houdon went to Barrere and urged
him to save her husband. S1 see no

for which of his works has he been
imprisoned" 2" s'For a statue of
st. Scholactica," said Nine. Houdon.
"What does she look like ?" "a fine
woman, with scrap of paper in her
hand" At that moment entered
Collot-d'Herbois. Barrere said to
him: ''Houdon has made statue Of
Philosophy meditating on the revo-
luton. You must have it bought
by the assembly and placed in the
room in front of the assembly room
and declare that Houdon has de-
served well Of the country This
was done, and Houdon was saved.

PAsTuRlNG CATTLE.
Change OF Field should Be Avoided.
Winter Feeding.

Winter Feeding.
There is an old saying that change
of pasture makes fat calves, but, like
many another wise saw, this has more
sound than sense Cattle never gain
flesh when in a field new to them.
Three or four days pass before they
become accustomed to their new sur
roundings and settle in their regular
round of habits. If moved from one
field to another adjoining. the same
restlessness will appear, although Il
gate between the two fields be left
open they will pass from one field to
the other without the sign of uneasi-
ness. Introducing strange animals in
to a field occupied by herd will cause
the same disturbance. The social posi-
ton of each newcomer must be settled
By much fighting and more. threatening g
before the chief business of their lives
can go on quietly and comfortably.
Having got a herd together, it would
be advisable as far as possible to avoid
changing from field to field and sud
den changes of diet. Such changes arc
almost certain to ''throw the cattle of
their feed'' or lead 4lASm to oyereat
with more disastrous results.
If the intention is to feed cattle in
the winter months, attention should be
given to providing feed lot in which
they may be fed comfortably and prof
itably. Much will be gained by pro
viding shelter to prevent them from
shivering away the flesh they have
slowly gained. Less of food is needed
for merely keeping up the animal heat.
and the animal will eat and drink
more when sheltered from cutting
winds and warmed by the SUMS rays.
It is especially important that the
sunlight should reach the stock early
in the day, for, even when there is lit
tie perceptible warmth in the rays.
there is in them that which enlfvens
the spirits of beast as well as man.
It has been found that cattle fatten
better in an open field, exposed to the
winds from every point of the corn
pass, than they do in fields in the midst
Of timber, where the suns rays seldom
or never reach them. Salt should be
placed where every beast in the herd
can easily reach it. By this plan the
crowding and fighting will be avoided,
and the animals will be much better
for it-W. J. Grand, Cook County, Ill.

Etiquette at Church Wedding.

The order in which guests should
leave the church is question fre-
quently put. It sufices to say that
the bride and bridegroom leave first
and the brides mother follows i'm
mediately afterward, next to her the
bridesmaids and the relatives and
guests as they best can get away.
The guests provide their own car
riages save in the country when
they attend a wedding from town.
The bridegroom provides the car
riage for himself and bride in town.
The brides father does this in the
country, and in both town and coun-
try he provides the carriages for the
members of his family residing with
him and for himself and the bride.

A HORSES HARNESS.
Tho Exact Way It Should Be Fitted q
the Animal

To fit harness to a horse is the
simplest of operations, and only
neglect and the good nature and pa
tienee of the animal allow any de-
parture from exactness. Few brow
bands fit as they should, but are so
loose that the ears are painfully
pinched. Blinkers carelessly kept
become warped out of shape and Sc
riously obstruct vision, while if they
flare or the check pieces are too
loose they lose their effect in the
one case and are dangerous as af-
fording glmpses of the following
vehicle in the other Bits are gen
orally too wide rather than too mar
row; bridoon bits too thin and
sharp, curb chains are often sharp
eded or sroughed" through careless
ness or too tightly drawn. Collars
are often too much bent at the1top.
Our horses are rather straight
shouldered as a rule, and sore or
ehafed necks are very frequent in
consequence.
Pads are usually broader in the
tree than is best, especially if a
horse is light in flesh, and the ridge
suffers unless housing is worm,
When placed well back, as they
should be, however, they generally
fit better, and the girth does not
chafe the thin skin at the elbows.
Breastplates generally are far too
loose, dangling aimlessly about,
whereas they have vitality important
duties to perform in handling the
load. Backbands, if tight, are al
ways dangerous, as melting to a
kicking scrape, especially if the
crupper is not thickly padded.
Tight girthing is never necessary.
The breeching should hang in the
right place and be just tight enough
to come into play when traces slack,
without that length which leaves it
dangling about, and stopping the
vehicle with a sudden jerk. Pole
pieces should, while controlling the
pole head instantly, not be drawn so
tight that the horses are jammed
against the pole, nor should they
dangle loosely about. No strap ends
should stick up or out, but every
thing be snugly billeted. AS rule
backbands are, made long enough
for a dro1nedary and girths big
eno1gh for. an elephant, with from
four to six holes each, that are nev-
er visited by buckle tongue. Nose
bands should have a lot Of holes,
close together, and be used when
needful to assist biting. At all
events they should fit snugly.
Throatlashes should always be quite
loose. Coupling reins should be
long, with several holes at bit ends.
The hand reins should have more
holes and rather closer together
than usually punched.-F. M. Ware
in Outing Magazine.

Care of the Cows Teats.

The care of the teats should always
be deserved bT TIE rlili-er and who
they get hard and rough should be
anointed with vaseline, as cracked teats
are an annoyance to the mixer, hurt
full to the COW and have a tendency to
lessen the flow of milk. Long finger
nails are also Il discontinue to the
COW, and the mixer should keep them
we'll pared to avoid trouble.
Some cows will not give down their
milk for some mixers as readily as &c
others, and it is often necessary to
change mixers and try to find oo2
whom the COW takes a liking to and
for whom she will give it down. The
holding up of the milk has a tendency
to lessen the secretion and consequent
ly the flow.

AYRSHIRE COW.

way of dirt and injury; four good
sized teats wide apart on the four
corners of the udder, in length from
two and a half inches to three and Il
half inches, hanging perpendicularly.
1t needs 10 argument to show that.
other things being equal, a COW with
the above udder and teats is perfection,
and if breeders of Ayrshires would all
aim to produce this style of udder Oh
their cows it would in itself cover Il
multitude of imperfections in other
parts of the body. The Ayrshire COW
here reproduced from Hoards Dairy
man is owned by Barclay farm, Bryu
Mawr, Pa. This COW entered the ad
vanced registry this year and gave
1,155 pounds Of milk, 525 pounds Of

Chicken Wisdom.

The molt tests the color quality OF
the white breeds. If the prize ceckere,
shows brassiness after getting his new
feathers, he will, be very likely to
transmit this failing to his chickens.
Study your individual birds, save the
steadfast thoroughbreds for years and
gradually develop whole fIocks of them
1t certainly pays both in satisfaction
and in silver.
Do not allow the drinking water
to be exposed to the sun. Give fresh
water twice daily.
For a soft crop nothing is better than
a gill of strong vinegar in a quart OF
drinking water.
Broad roosts not over two feet from
the floor are the most comfortable and
most sensible.

Grow Feed on the Farm.

The Massachusetts, state crop repor:
contains an article by Professor F. s
Cooley ON "Some Causes Affecting the
Profits of Dairying." On the subjec;
of feeding dairy cattle the professor
urges that feeds be produced on t,ls
farm as far as possible. Usually t..
best practice is to purchase only feeds
rich in protein and raise the coarst
folders on the farm. Cows fed ON star.
walton rations yield no profit, and those
overfed with expensive feeds are also
kept at loss. The point of highest
profit in feed must be determined By
experiment and ca'c-;,ation and varieS
with the locally and circumstances q
the feeder.
