Effective Milk Strainers.

The matter of strainers for milk Is
not a small one, as every man knows
that has tried to produce sanitary
milk. So unsatisfactory has
been the use Of s%trainers that
there are here and there
creameries that will not accept strain
ed milk. They say that the farmer
must produce milk so clean that 1t VIII
not have to be strained, and that the
strainer helps to wash the filth from
one lot OF milk into all subsequent
lots Of milk. Recent news from
Europe tells, however OF a strainer
invented by a Swede that seems to
be very effective. It consist OF two
wire strainers with an interposed lay
er OF cotton. After the milk had been
strained, tests were made TO discover
II 1t was free from bacteria, and the
general result was that 1t was found
to contain none OF the disease germs
which we're known to be in the milk
before being strained. The strained
milk also kept much longer than the
unstrained milk, which went to show
that it was improved by the strainint
process.

accidents have occurred. In some of

were largely due to trusting bulls.
The bull is al animal that will grow
up from calfhood with an apparently
good disposition and will seem to show
nothing but love for his keeper, but
suddenly his old wild spirit seems TO
assert itself and he attacks and kills
the man that has trusted him. Because

Starting Celery.

The farmer that wishes to grow n
little celery for his W use will
not have the large facilities
for starting it possessed by the
commercial growers. He will find II
necessary, however, to start his celery
In the house II he expects to have
any for summer use, as celery when
small Is a very slow grower, and even
the seed is slow In terminating. He
can SOW his seed In a box in the house
and put the box in a window. provided
he covers the box with a glass to pre-.
vent the drying out of the top soil. The
plants may be transferred to larger
boxes in the course of a month or
six weeks from the time the seed Is
sown, If they grow thickly enough to
become crowded. They cannot, how.
ever, be transferred to the open
ground until spring is we'll advanced.

IL
STOCK
Smoothness in Swine.

Swine for selling on the general
market should be uniform, that is, II a
carload Is to be fattened at one time,
they should be chosen so that they will
all be of the same age when starting.
This makes them develop into a car.
load OF very even smooth hogs. This
smoothness has a commercial value.
as buyers will pay more for 1t than
for a carload of mixed hogs. This is
not all fancy by any means; 1t is not
because the buyer likes to see a
smooth lot OF hogs. He has been In
the business too long to be caught in
that way, but II the hogs are nearly
uniform In size and flesh, he finds 1t
perfectly easy to estimate what their
value Is, because he can figure on the
value Of Que hog and simply multiply
that by the number In the herd. When
herds are made up of all kinds and
sizes, the professional buyer knows
he cannot do this. He knows thai he
has not the time to pay attention to
each particular animal in the group
and figure out what it's value will be
when slaughtered. AS he has not the
time he must estimate the whole her
and he Is certain to make the price
low enough SO that he will be left
liberal margin for mlscalculations. II
Is doubtful II a car Of mixed hogs evel
brings Its real market value, for thu
cause above indicated.

Home-Ma Ice.

~ T. SOopSI, WTlllHB III Ine DalTy
Record, says hat at the Goodbue
(Minn.) creamery, owned by Il. G..
Hammer, the following method Of ice
storing has been very successful: The
Ice house Is built with 9 by 6 s~tudding
boarded up both outside and inside ex-
cept that the inside boarding does not
60 quite to the top. The inside boards
are tackled or lightly so that they car
he quickly removed, and an air space
Is LEFT between the studding. When
the weather has settled down for the
winter remove all old ice and sawdust
and take out all sawdust from between
the inner and outer boarding. Re.
place the inner boards. Secure a piece
Of pipe about the length of your ice
house and driR a row Of very small
holes, each row being about q quarter
turn from The other, so that when the
pipe Is laid across the ice house and
connected with the water system Of
the creamery the water will come out
Of these holes like a fountain and will
be distributed all over the floor, and
the pressure should be so regulated
that 1t will freeze about as fast as II
falls. II It falls too fast a good deal
Of the water will run off and the ten.
dency will be to melt the ice already
formed, while II 1t comes down in too
fine a spray II Is likely to freeze in
the form Of snow, making a white,
poor Ice.
II requires, however, very little ex.
pertinent to get the ice just right, max.
Ing a perfectly clear, pure ice, and In
the course of a short time your ice
house will be full clear to the top,
forming n solid. perfect cake OF
clear ice.
When the freezing Is completed you
will find that some water has run over
into the air space, and that Il Is not
therefore possible to at once pacl,
that space with sawdust, but do not let
that worry you. II the sawdust were
left in the space while the freezing
was going on, 1t would become simply
an addition to the mass Of ice and
would practically carry the ice cake
clear to the outside OF the house
which would be disastrous.
Put all your sawdust or top Of the
ice, and as the weather becomes
warmer look into the air space occa
sionally. and when you find that the
ice Is melted out, then fill the all
space all around completely with saw
dust from the top. and see that the biz
cake Of ice Is also well covered will

women Shared In Battle.

Not over a hundred yards from the
trench was a group Of women and
children sitting and looking on. They
were not molested, being out OF the
direct line of the fire and no men be-
ing among them. few minutes af-
ter the firing finally ceased they were
photographed as they sat quietly In
circle, with the dead lying around.
They were kindly treated and cared
for by the troops and sent out Of the
way in case there should be further
fighting. They belong to men who
had told them to keep out of the fight
ing line.
In the trench itself it was different.
There the bodies lay in heaps three
and four deep, as they had fallen when
the shells struck them, and the shells
had not distinguished between the
sexes. Women lay there with their
hands still grasping the spear or the
campilan; the men had Kept the guns

their babies with them when they
went into the trench and the babies
had met the death to which their
mothers had taken them. 1t was pit

at that for the results in keeping the
weeds down and the soil suitably
broken, II the crop is Of a nature re-
quiring such a thing, are much more
nearly perfect than when machines do
the work. The intensive farmer liter
ally has to go down on his hands and
knees at his work, but he secures
bumper crops and more crops In pro-
portion than his brother with the
huge spread of soil at his disposal.
In. this latitude, on intensive farms,
two crops are usually the rule. Thus,
many holders Of twelve, fifteen and
+, twenty acre farms in Missouri and Il
linois SOW early potatoes in the spring
and follow this with a setting of tur-
nips as soon as the first crop is har-
vested. These are excellent-paying
crops, with a sure market nearly ev-
erywhere, and the labor of cultivat-
ing is not very much greater than for
cereal, which would bring only one
half as much revenue. Other farmers
follow their potato crop with SOW
ing of buckwheat, and still others,
who prefer to devote their land to ce-
reals, will grow wheat or corn In the
spring and follow these with cowpeas
"a good forage crop, and one which
also has the merit of being an excel
lent fertilizer for the soil as we'll,
when the stalks have been plowed un-
der. The soil must, of course, be
carefully nursed in this intensive
continual indulgence, and also rota-
ton Of crops has to be observed to
keep the soil in good condition Veg
etables are principally grown by small
farmers, and where this is the rule, at
least once in every three or four years
a season must be devoted to some 9TH
er product, most Of the farmers SOW
ing their land with alfalfa during such
an interim, gaining three or four crops
from this and a substantial income
from its sales.
Intensive farming requires but very
small capital. Fifteen acres Of land
can be purchased at reasonable fig
ures, and yet this will suffice to fur
nish a good income for the average
family, providing the head Of II Is

Affairs Begin to Draw to Head
Preparations For BattIe-A Picture
of the Two Armies.

OF the Two Armies.
After leaving Gilbert town, Campbell
moved steadily towards the point at
which he proposed to meet Williams,
and by nightfall had accomplished
about one half of the journey. The
march furnished Henry Lindsay unal-
lOyed pleasure. Every incident belong
ing to it awakened the fancies which he
had INDUCED in reference to military
life. and he was delighted in the con-
temptation of this actual accomplish
ment of some of the many dreams OF
glory which his boyish romance had
engendered at home. Besides being a
favorite of those i'm command, he was
allowed to ride in the ranks whenever
il suited his pleasure, and to amuSe
himself with what subject of interest
the journey afforded: whilst, at the
same time, he found his personal ease
so much attended to as to leave him
but little room to complain of the dis
comfort or toll of the campaign.
The night was spent in the woods
and it was scarcely daybreak, when the
exhlarating though harsh clamor OF
the horns summoned the troops to the
renewal of their journey, which was
pursued until the afternoon. when,
about four o'clock, they reached the
border of the tract of country known
as the CowpenS. Afar off occupying
piece of elevated ground, Campbell
was enabled to descry Il considerable
body of cavalry. whose standard, dress,
and equipment, even at this distance
sufficiently made known to him their
friendly character-a fact that was i'm
mediately afterwards confirmed by the
report of some videttes. who had been
stationed upon the road by which
Campbell advanced. A brief interval

Jhulan Gaur and Mia Gaur, his
brother, were grazing bullocks in

lage, about half a mile from the basti
about 9 a. m. The cattle were In

about fifteen PAGES behind him, Jhu-
Ian Gaur They had just crossed a

from the other side suddenly rushed
tiger at a cow, slapped 1t aside with
blow on the rump and In the same
stride jumped on Jhulan Gaur, bore
him to the ground doubled up In the
position of a Mohammedan saying his
prayers or a Chinaman "kotowing"-
the hind paws on his back and the
fore paws on his head.
Jhulan was quite conscious and
knew his doom was sealed. At the
time he was borne to the ground he
called to his brother to help him. But
when the tiger began to shake his
head from side to side consciousness
left him. Mia heard his brothers
shout for help and ran to him at once.
The tiger was on his brothers head
and Mia struck the tiger two blows on
the head with light drover's stick he
had In his hand. The tiger had his
mouth open and was growing and
lashing his tail. Mia went in front OF
the tigers face and when he struck
the tiger the brute sprang on MS
brother on to him. He did not SLAP
but pushed him backward.
He lost consciousness at once. Jhu-
Ian, as soon as the tiger left his back
regained his senses, and saw the tiger
on his brother His brother was on
his back with his face on the right
side and one forepaw Of the tiger was
on his face and the other forepaw on
his chest. He struggled up and with
the light stick in his hand which ne
had never relinquished, he struck the
tiger three times on the side or the
head. The tiger let go his brother and
took a circle round, then saw Jhulan
and threatened him again by growl-
ing, and made as If he meant to at
tack again, but on Jhulan raising his
