Praise from a High Source.

Among the comments of John Henry
Mosher, prominent artist OF Wash
ington, on the recent exhibition of the
American Photographic Salon in that
city, is the following:
"No. 900, "A Quiet Corner is by Guido
Rey, OF Turin, Italy. A more refined and
attractive picture, one so well nigh per-
feet in composition, it is difficult to
imagine. This is the star picture OF the
show. 1t is of young woman seated
by window, in room of rare artistic
design. The wall is Whsteriau in its
tasteful simplicity, and it meets every
artistic requirement, save one: The figure
is not sufficiently in contrast with its
surroundings to give it the prominence
the subject demands. The obscured art
in the arrangement of light, and the
details of the picture are captivating,
while the technique, the transparent
shadows, seem to reveal mastery Of the
means employed, which makes one doubt
il there is anything the camera, in skilled
hands, cannot do. This print is the
straightest OF straight photography.
There are Others. almost as perfect
prints, from this point of view. Notably,
and only second in this kind OF excellence,
that of child on the floor playing with
blocks. The strong sunlight on the
floor reflected upwards, Eliminates the
little face and figure in delightful and
appealing way" This picture, No. 35,
Sunshine, is by Katherine Bingham of
Vermont. The subject of this picture is
Jack Titcomb, the little son of J. W. Tit
comb of Washington.

From now on mix the feed for the
young pigs one feed ahead. and you
may, with good results, add half
spoonful of oilmeal for each pig and
increase as they get larger Put lit
tie sheled corn in the feed and let 1t
soak from one feed to another. Also
increase this as time goes on. If they
can follow around after cattle that are
fed corn it will be sufficient corn for
them and will give them their needed
exercise. The cattle keep the snow
tramped down, and the pigs will keep
pretty busy. You should always aim
to have a southern exposure protected

A sad accident at St. Johusbury, Fri

needed to set the milk for cream rails
ing Well water at 40 degrees is sutfi-
cient to raise the cream in twelve
hours, but if one has ice it will save
the changing of water at each milking,
and colder water will raise the cream
more quickly. In summer we set our
milk in the cellar near our well, chang
ing the water at each milking in hot
test weather, but in cooler weather it
may be set on the back porch or any
convenient place where it may not
freeze. We prefer to have our COW
fresh in September and make winter
butter and with this plan can have but
ter equally as good as in summer. We
have two creamers for the first flush Of
milk and use only one later. The milk
is strained directly into the can and
set in cold water to the depth Of the
milk, with enough water so as to cool
the milk. The cream is raised in twelve
hours. Care must be taken when draw
ing off the skim milk, for the force Of
a full can is considerable. Draw off
until the cream begins to show, hold
ing the cork to lessen the rapid flowing
and stop the cream. Shake the can I'M
til the cream is all loosened and pour
it into jar to be set in cool place
where it may keep sweet until there is
enough for a churning.

When the Old Men Win Out
II Isn't ALWAYS Safe 10 Turn Down a
Man on Account Of His Age

I've never taken any special stock in
this modern theory that no fellow over
forty should be given a job or no man
over sixty allowed to keep one. OF
course there's dead line in business.
Gust as there is in preaching), and fif-
tvs a good convenient age at which
to draw it. But it's been my expert
enCe that there are q lot of dead ones
on both sides of it. When man starts
out to be fool and keeps on working
steady at his trade, he usually isn't go
ing to be any Solomon at sixty.
l learned long while ago not to
measure men with a footrule and not
to hire them because they were young
or old or pretty or homely, though
there are certain general rules you want
to keep in mind. If you were spending
million year without making money
and you hired a young man he'd be
apt to turn in and double your ex-
penses to make the business show Il
profit, and he'd be mighty good man.
But if you hired an old man he'd prob
ably cut your expenses to the bone and
show up the money saved on the profit
side, and he'd be a mighty good man
too. | hire both and then set the
young man to spending and the old
man to watching expenses.
OF course the chances are that a
man who hasn't got good start at
forty hasn't got it in him, but you cant
run business on the law of averages
and have more than an average bust
ness. Once an old fellow who's just
missed everything he's sprung at gets
MS hooks in he's a tiger to stay by the
meat course And I've picked up two
or three of these old man eaters in my
time who are drawing pretty large sal
aries with the house right now.-From

BUTTER FROM ONE COW.

A Homemade Dreamer That Is Pre-
ferred to the Use of Pans.
A correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker tells her way of making butter
from one COW with much less care
and expense and more satisfactorily
than by the pan system. She says; We
had used a creamer with butter work
er. swing churn and pound printer
with a fine herd of Jersey COWS, max
ing a fine quality of butter, and when
a change in our business made 1t nee
essary for us to keep only one COW we
naturally wanted to make as good but
ter with less machinery. After some
consideration we evolved plan that
has been very satisfactory. We bought
two one gallon carrying pals, such as
dairymen use, and had timer insert
a tube one-half inch and tlaring to
three quarters on the outside at the
bottom of each pail, the tube to be one
inch in length.
These tubes are to be fitted securely
with corks. The covers should have
three holes punched in them for venti-
lation. The whole cost of these small

Getting a Line on Men.

You can tell whole lot about your
men from the way in which they come
In and the way in which they go home,
but because fellow is in the office
early it doesn't always mean that he's
painting to begin work. 1t may mean
that he's been out all night. And when
you see fellow porting over his books
after the others have quit it doesn't
always follow that he's so wrapped
up in his work that he can't tear him
self away from it. 1t may mean that
during business hours he had his head
full Of horse racing instead of figures
and that he's staying to chase up the
80 cents which he's out in his balance.
You want to find out which.
The extra poor men and the extra
good men always stick their heads up
above the dead level of good enough
men-the first to boiler for help and the
second to get an extra reach. And
when your attention is attracted to one
Of these men follow him up and find
out just what sort of soil and fertilizer
he needs to grow fastest. 1t isn't
enough to pick likely stock; you've got
to plant it where the conditions are
right to develop its particular POSSIBLE
tiles. - From "Old Gorgon Graham;

One Cause Of Poor Milk.

Competition is no mean influencing
agent. 1t is a we'll known fact that in
our smaller places reliable farmers
have attempted to produce a good
quality of milk for their customers and
to sell it at fair price. Their charges
estimated from cost Of production have
been very reasonable. say 6 cents per
quart. After starting some irresponsi
BILE man would undertake to sell milk
at 8, or cents per quart. Conse-
quently the good milk was soon crowd
ed out, and there was left upon the
market only this poor quality of milk.
This irresponsible man could then raise
the price of his mike. l.. Marshall.
