He Obeyed Instructions.

An amusing story is told of the
editor OF go-ahead evening news.
paper in London who, In the eternal
rushing to press to get ahead of the
opposition, was constantly impressing
upon his reporters the necessity for
condensing all news.
A terrific boiler explosion had taken
place on board big ship lying at
Portsmouth.

you catch the 11:40 from London

DAIRYINo AND FERTILITY.
The Keeping Of Cows win Restore
Worn Out Soils to Produc-
tive State.

There Is no more certain method of
maintaining soil fertility or restoring
II when lost through negligent or un.
wise methods. than the introduction
and prosecution of dairying on the
farm. Modern dairying, in all its
various lines, aims to return to the
soil more than is taken from IL and
sold away from the farm. The dairy.
man that only sells butter from his
farm, retaining the SKINNED milk to
feed out to the young calves and pigs,
really removes so little OF the fertili.
ty of his soil that it's loss is inappre.
ciable. II is estimated that a ton of
butter only removes from the farm
SO cents worth of plant food, while at
20 cents per pound would bring $400.
AS a part of dairying Is the grow
ing of forage crops to be fed out on
the farm, and these, after passing
through the animal, go back to the
soil In the shape of manures that not
only furnish plant food, but supply
the soil with bumus. which enables 1t
to Withstand drouths and keeps crops
growing during the dry season. Thus.
says the Cleaner, dairying supplies
manures which enables the farmer TO
secure increased yield from his crops
while his soil is steadily improving.
The drawback to dairying is in its
confining the farmer very closely to
his farm, except he Is in the business
to an extent which justifies him in
securing efficient help even In this
day of high.prioed labor. II his farm
Is large enough TO require, and that
means pay for, the time of manager,
the owner can FIJI that position bet
ter than anyone else can for him Il
he has a thorough knowledge of the
business.
On the dairy farm crops must also
be grown that are intended to be
sold on the market. Wheat is one of
these, and in this state 1t seems to
be a necessary part of the rotation
as 1t furnishes the best crop to seed
with A good seeding is a very nec-
essary part of the economy of a
dairy farm, as clover Is the natural
complement of corn In feeding ra-

city markets than clover. brings
higher price and is not nearly 30 val
liable for feeding. Oats can also be
sold to advantage OF the farm, reserv-
ing sufficient to supply the horses. as
they generally bring good price,
and the cash received can be expend-
ed to advantage In buying bran, which
Is necessity to the wide-awake
dairyman.
The basis of successful dairying is
the growing of forage crops to feed
to cows of good dairy qualities. Both
these are essential, but back of then
all Is the man. and upon him finally
depends the results achieved.

DAIRY MATTERS.

II is impossible to raise good dairy
stock without a good deal of care as
to breeding.
The operation of milking should
never be hurried, but the milk drawn
steadily.
II you have a scrub COW that is a
money bringer in the dairy, don't be
in too big a hurry TO exchange her
for pedigree COW with only breeding
and beauty to recommend her.
Good butter or cheese cannot be
made in dirty factory. 1t must be
sanitary both inside and outside. Back
of this must come clean cans, clean
stables, clean COWS and clean mixers.
Sunlight and pure air are the cheap
est and most effective means of keep
ing dairy utensils pure and sanitary
after they have been cleansed. Where
these conditions do not exist, 1t Is
then advisable to put them in a hot,
drying room.-Kansas Experiment

Religion of the Apache.

The apaches, like many other
North American tribes, are sun wor-
shippers. says Scribner's. Their myths
tell them that the sun Is the all.pow.
erful deity, and to It all supplications
are addressed. On going into battle,
planting corn, or starting on a cattle
stealing expedition, the sun is asked
to look with favor. That they be-
lieve in future world is proved by
their custom Of killing horses and
burying them, as well as their cloth.
ing and implements Of the chase, for
life In the future world. Not only
the medicine men but the people
claim to hold communion with the
Chindi. or spirits Of their ancestors.
They are also great believers In
omens, talismans and amulets, but
are very conservative, and 1t is with
difficulty that one gets them to dis.
cuss things supernatural. They will
not talk about God among their own
people with familiarity, and scarcely
at all with the white man.

PURE WATER FOR COWS.
A Matter Which Has Very Close
Relationship to the Quality
of Milk.

Most OF us realize the Importance
of providing enough water for dairy
cows, but some neglect even this and
or course the cows take IL out OF their
board by not giving as much milk as
they would do were they better fed
and cared for. Few of us, however.
consider the necessity Of having pure
water. II Is as important that the
cows have pure water as that we have
II in the house.
Impure water will affect the health
and product of the COW as quickly as
1t will human beings, possibly quick.
er, for they drink more and take no
other beverage. Cows in milk will
drink close to seven gallons OF water
day and some OF them will take
much more. The water supply should
be the first consideration on the
farm. II is of more Importance than
feed or stables, and no reasonable
effort should be neglected 10 provide
an abundance of the best quality.
For winter dairying a self regulat.
ing supply in the stable is very con.
venient and profitable. The COWS
have the water before them whenever
they want 1t and they will drink little
and often.

MATTRESSES and Ribbons.

The German military authorities
have lately been making experiments
with new style of mattress. Some.

stuffed with the serpentins which are
thrown about at carnival time make
excellent mattresses for soldiers, and
the few trials which have been made
have proved the truth of the Idea.
Therefore, the German minister of
war has determined to make a more
extended experiment, and SO the non.

on loads of serpentins, and when the
members Of the school have slept on

Micro Organisms in Cheese.

school at Sohntal has compiled statis.

lead to the conclusion that every gram
(one-thirtieth part of an ounce) OF
fresh Emmenthaler (Swiss) cheese
contains between 10000 and 100000
living germs. After two months the
number has increased to 500, 900.

KOREA AND THE KOREANS.
Few Examples Of the Strenuous Life
Found Among Curious Or
iental People. a.

Korea Is a curious country, its peo-
pie having many peculiarities which
belong neither to China nor Japan,
much as its inhabitants have in COM
mon with those two nations.
The Cinnamon we know as a race of
hard workers, and the Japs as a quick,
ingenious and active folk; but the
Korean is an oriental Weary Willie"
No one knows how to idle more grace
fully than he. He takes existence so
easily that he will not even go to the
trouble Of avoiding dangers that
threaten his life, says the Montreal
Family Herald and Weekly Star. In
those districts where tigers are numer-
GUS the Korean villagers constantly
sleep with the doors of the houses
open. Now and again sleeping
Korean disappears, to the accompani-
ment of angry growls and soft, padded
footsteps. The survivors are deeply
grieved, but console themselves with
the reflection that life is uncertain for
all of us.
When the electric tramway line was
idiu uoWn III seoul, tne cap1tal, TWO
Koreans were discovered one day
sleeping with their heads actually pill
lowed on the rails
AS befts an easy-going race. given
to take the world as It comes, the
Koreans are a kindly and well-dis-
posed people. They are much given
to forms and ceremonies, and, like the
Chinese, they have great reverence
for old age. AS in China, too, It ia
considered polite to inquire the age of
stranger or guest. A Korean woman
who understated her age, when asked,
would do so for very different rea-
son than that which would impel a
European lady to the same step. The
Korean lady would be inspired by mod
esty; she would not care to claim all
the respect to which her years entitled
her!
A curious feature Of Korean life, and
one In which 1t presents marked con-
trast to japan and China, is seen in
the absence Of umbrellas. On wet days
the Koreans appear in the streets in
coats and hats of oiled paper.
