BEST WAY TO DRINK MILK

BEST WAY TO DRINK MILK.
Leslie's Weekly.
We live by digesting and assirnIlatiug
food. not merely by eating IT, MIX as
food builds up and forms body tissues
hnd fluids and repairs waste. Wher
taken slightly In excess the unused por-
ton. mostly butter fat, is stored In the
system for future use. AS is we'll
known, fluld milk and vichy is a whole
some drink for many who cannot as
simulate milk alone. A pinch or two of
salt In a glass OF milk Will produce
similar result. II aids In the easier
digestion of the curds as formed In the
stomach prior TO digestion. 1t is wise
for the possessor of a weak tomach to
sip a glass of milk slowly instead OF
drinking 1t hurriedly. The larger the
quantity of milk taken at one draught
the greater the difficulty Of Its diges-
ton. It may not be generally under
stood that hot milk taken into the sys-
tenn Is almost Immediately absorbed It
is stimulating without reaction.

Knevlwhere He was.

Some one asked Speaker Reed how
ne felt while the uproar about the
rules OF the Fifty-frst congress was
going on and while the question was
in doubt.
II knew exactly what was going to
do If the house did not sustain me-"
he replied when man has decided
upon plan of action for either contin-
gency he has no need to be disturbed.
Did you ever think what soothing
thing 1t Is to know exactly what you
are going to do if things do not go your
way? You have then made yourself
equal to the worst and have only to
wait to find out what was ordained be-
fore the foundation of the earth"
but how did you feel when the tn
multi was the highest?"
"Just as you would feel II a big crea-
ture was jumping at you and you
knew just the length Of the chain and
were quite sure of the weapons at
hand"
It was this sureness Of footing which
gave the iron willed man his marked
serenity Of temper.

Leading farmers in a county In a
western state claim that the hog
cholera plague has been practically
and effectually stamped out in the fol-
lowing very simple manner. Inasmuch
as the plan Is an inexpensive one, in
volving no outlay for high priced medi-
cines or veterinary attendance. we give
it for what it is worth. 1t Is well
known fact that the ordinary proce-
dure when cholera breaks out in drove
Of hogs is to take the infected animals
out of the pen or lot in which the drove
has been quartered. The plan under
discussion Is a reversal of the common
practice-provides for the removal of
the well hogs to entirely new quarters.
In view of the fact that veterinarians
are we'll agreed that the disease
spreads through infection, well ami
mails becoming contaminated by the
saliva, sputum and excreta of infected
animals. the method of prevention
suggested would seem to have much
to commend 1t along the line of sound
sanitary sense. 1t Is therefore clear
that IL unaffected hogs are left In
lot or pen In which the disease has ap-
peared they are exposed to the great
est possible danger of contamination.
We should be pleased to have any
readers Of these notes who may have
tried this plan to report on the meas
ure Of success which has attended 1t.

FACTS ABOUT NITRO CULTURES.

Such extravagant and misleading
claims have recently been made rela-
tive to the value Of inoculating mate
rial for legumes that the department of
agriculture has issued circular sum-
marizing the limitations and value Of
the nitro cultures. The experiments
carried on under supervision Of the
government show that no beneficial re-
suits can be expected for particular
crop IL the bacteria of that crop are
already in the soil; that but little bene-
At can be expected from their use IL
the ground is decidedly In need OF
other fertilizers, such as phosphates,
potash or lime, and that but little II
any benefit can be derived from inocu-
lation If the soil is already rich in
nitrogen. A test of samples Of nitro
gen fixing bacteria obtained in the
open market showed that many of the
cultures were in a worthless condition,
while many of those whose condition
was good were badly contaminated
with foreign bacteria, molds and
yeasts. While the circular does not
say so, this bacteria business would
seem to be an agricultural fad that
has been badly overworked.

This has been very mild winter
and stock have not felt the need of shell
ter as they ordinarily do. At the same
time, when a storm does come they
feel the inclemency Of the weather all
the more. We passed feed lot not
long since where some young stock
were being roughed through the winter.
1t was showing and blowing, and these
young things were standing with their
backs to the storm, all puckered up,
with the wet snow driving clear to
their skins. They could not and would
not eat enough that day to hold their
own and will show the effects of the
exposure for week. Stock handled
thus through the winter will require a
month on good grass to get into thriv-
ing condition. 1t pays to shelter your

A lady friend who is very success
full raiser of poultry told us recently
that the worst enemy she had to cope
with now In the poultry business was
the crows; that these birds had become
SO numerous and bold that they would
destroy all eggs laid by the hens on the
outskirts of the farm homestead and
kill more little chickens than twenty
hawks. There Is no doubt about the
crow being nuisance, and the fact
that 1t eats some grubs In the fields Is
no sort Of excuse for having 1t around
the premises. Unceasing war should
be made on both the crow and the
sparrow.

With denuding Of the forest areas
of a great portion of the northern
states attention is being turned to the
forest reserves of other states which
up to this time have been left un-
touched because of their greater mac
feasibility. Among these is Florida,
which has a wealth of forest resources
in the shape of long leaf, short leaf and
loblOlly pine, together with Expresses.
Increased attention Is manifested by
those interested in this industry in
calls for assistance from the national
forest reserve service along the line
of drainage of forest areas and a
prevention of the fires which are quite
generally resorted to In burning over
the ground with view to improving
the pasturage.

Every well regulated garden should
have its plot for asparagus. Once
started the bed requires little care,
yet furnishes an abundant supply of
one of the most succulent vegetables
we know. Vigorous three or four year
old roots may be secured from some of
your neighbors or nearby nursery
man. These should be set in rows
three feet apart. and about two feet
apart In the row, and to depth of six
to eight inches in mellow, well ma
nured soil or may be put in trenches In
the bottom of which well rotted ma
nure has been mixed. The idea In
putting the roots down to such depth
is that It will increase the length of
the blanched, tender stalk to be cut
for the table. Old beds may be great
" benefited by fertllizing the surface
with well rotted manure and by sprn-
king generous supply OF coarse salt
over the bed. After the cutting sea-
son Is over the remaining shoots should
be allowed to grow undisturbed until
the close Of the season. as only In this
way can the roots gain In strength and
vigor.

a subject Of vital importance. II you

when the little fellows begin to come
you are ready to take care of them. If
the ewes have the run of a pasture adj
joining the barn, which Is a good plan,
1t should be one mans business to care
for the ewes. When the lambs come
take your cart and bring the eve and
lamb to the barn. You will find this
much easier and quicker than holding
the lamb In your hands and trying to
toll the eve to the barn. Plenty Of hot
water should be kept on hand at all
times during lambing season. When
some cold, rainy day you find lamb
as stiff as board and to all intepts
and purposes dead take It to the house
and put 1t into a pail Of water as hot
as you can bear your hands, and hold
1t there until 1t gets warmed through.

The American Society Of Equity, with
headquarters at Indianapolis, Ind, has
undertaken the project of organizing
the farmers Of the country, particularly
those of the wheat producing states,
into trust, with q membership of
100000. The object of the organization
will be to control the prices Of all the
leading farm products-to keep wheat
at 81 bushel and other products at a
price level to correspond. In view Of
the large membership proposed, one of
the chief obstacles to success will lie
In the difficulty of securing united ac-
ton and Of getting individual mem
bers to stick to a particular agreement.
The experiences Of the ordinary farm
ers' cooperative creameries and grain
and produce companies along the line
Of securing united and harmonious ac-
ton touching matters that are cOnced-
ed to be to the best interest Of all con-
cerned would seem to cause doubt as
to the ultimate success of SO vast an
economic enterprise. However, the
field is surely an inviting IL also a

the enterprise will be watched with a

The federal and state agricultural ex-
pertinent stations are continually issu-
ing publications which are of immense
value to the agricultural interests OF
the country along the line Of intro
ducing the culture Of new grains and
grasses. suggesting better methods
OF handling the varied crops and ways
and means of reducing, so far as pos
sible, damage from numerous insect
pests. A very comprehensive bulletin
on the "Diptera Of Minnesota" issued
by the state experiment station, comes
under the latter head. Among the
many sketches of the two winged flies
that abound In the state the one ex-
planning the habits Of the Hessian fly
Is Of especial interest. This pest is the
particular enemy of the wheatfelds,
the damage being wrought by the lar
va, which by working In the stalk so
weakens 1t that when the grain Is
headed out and top heavy 1t breaks
over, preventing proper ripening Of
the berry itself and making impossible
the harvesting of the grain. The fly,
whose name was given because of its
supposed introduction into this country
in the bedding of the Hessian soldiers,
is credited with responsibility for the
loss Of as high as 80 per cent Of the
wheat in many Minnesota fields. The
remedies suggested looking to pre-
vention Of the ravages of the fly are
simple and practical. They consist OF
burning of the stubble In fields which
have been affected, particularly where
deep blowing seems inadvisable, or
where this work Is delayed until after
about May /, when the flies emerge.
Some make the burning of the stubble
more effective by scattering the straw
left from the thrashing and burning
Of all litter from the machine. As In
the case Of the stamping out Of other
pests, best results are obtained through
cooperative effort on the part Of the
wheat growers Of an affected district,
II being uphill business and In meas
ure impossible for the individual to ac-
complish tangible results when his
neighbors breed the pests.

people of this city and county desir
ed the election of the present Judge
without a contest. We have been
greatly disappointed in the action
Of few members of the bar. They
are making a mistake. There is
nothing to warrant their untoward

jurist. He is impartial, and makes
an ideal judge. His honest, bust

ness, and preventing expensive de-
lays, is universally satisfactory to
the people. This )urnal has had
occasion to commend the orderly
and wise expedition with which the
honorable presiding judge promoted
the ends Of justice and the welfare
of the tax payers.
