RICH MILK FOR CHEESE.

Rich milk will give more cheese
per hundred weight than poor milk,
and the increased yields will be nearly
proportional to the fat contents of
the different kinds of milk.
The quality of the cheese produced
from rich milk Is better than that Of
cheese from thin milk, and will COM
mand higher price. DR.. S. M. Bah
cock. in the 18th report or the WIS
consin Experiment Station, page 134,
has shown that the price of cheese
stands in a direct relation to its fat
content. Professor Robertson, Dairy
Commissioner of Canada, made the
statement that the quality of cheese
from milk containing from three or
four percent of fat, was increased in
value by one eighth of a cent for ev-
cry two-tenths of per cent. of fat
in the milk. Payment on the basis of
the fat content of milk is. therefore,
ing milk for cheese making, and divi-
dends should always be calulated from
the results obtained by the testing of
the milk delivered Milk testing three
per cent with a correct lactometer
reading of 1882 will yield 8.84 pounds
of cheese per hundred pounds of milk.
Milk testing three per cent. with a
corrected lactometer reading of 1882
will yield 1890 pounds of cheese per

a Spirited Wltness.

Sir Henry Irving was once the
guest of honor at lawyers banquet
In New York. In the course of a
graceful address, he said:
you, gentlemen, have given me
most helpful advice on the art of act
ing-will you permit me to give you
in return piece of advice regarding
your profession?
my advice, then, is that you make
less harsh. What is the good of
treating an honest and sensitive wit
ness on the witness stand as though
he were a sneak thief? A young man
In my company was a witness in a
case of robbery. He had seen thief
snatch a young girls pocketbook and
make off.
We'll, the thief's lawyer cross-ex-
amined my young friend shamefully.
He roared at him, shook his fist at
him, raved at him.
"'And at what hour did all this
happens? the lawyer, sneering, asked
toward the end of his examination.
I think my friend began, but
he was at once interrupted.
1--WE don't care anything here
about what you think! said the law
yer, with a snort Of contempt.
Don't you want to hear what I
think?' said my young friend, mildly.
Certainly not the lawyer roared.
Then said my friend, I may as

thinking" '-Philadelphia Bulletin.

DON'T MAKE EYES.

Why do so many girls make faces
In their social intercourse?
Watch and you will find that eight
young women out of ten, in animated
conversation, are expanding most OF
their energy in useless contortions OF
the face.
The expression pantomine of feat
ures, seen in a distant opera box, Is
often as amusing and bewildering as
the performance on the stage itself.
Whether it be the unconscious phe-
nomena of nervousness, or the mis-
taken struggles of vanity, the per-
Torrance is equally unfortunate. The
play Of features INDUCED in by any
body but an artist is too likely to be-
come grimaoe.
The girl whose stock in trade Is an
expensive face" whose soul" makes
a specially Of being written on her
countenance" is in great danger OF
excuses. She tries, most likely, to
RUN against time, with the muscles OF
her face. the entire gamut of the
eHOtlons.
She contracts her brow" and "lev-
els her Ids" witches her lips and
manlpulates her eyes, brides, beams
Or languishes with the dispatch OF q

assured that St. Vitus is the patron
saint Of the family.
Facial gymnastics as a habit are
both unhecoming and injurious. They
show lack of repose that is asso-
ciated with caste, and they effect the
good looks of the future.
Fuckers and frowns contractiohs
and expansions, and distortions too
prodigal in youth, mean premature
wrinkles and crows feet and burrows.
Elasticity Of muscles Is thing to be
huebanded, not overstrained.
No chronic fatal mannerism is ad-
mired except by the prejudiced.
She who habitually dilates her "sen-
sitSye nostriis," or affects the coquet-
tjah nous" Of THE Duchess" or
moistens or gnaws her lips through
self-consciousness, should be dealt
with by the judicious.
Women made eyes as a business in
the days Of powder and patches and
artificial chivalry. Even now some
superannuated belle who slew her
thousands by the old-fashioned meth
cd will complain that Nellie has
beautiful eyes IL she only knew how
to use them.' But Nellie, wise mai
den, knows the least use is the best
use.
Mental vivacity can be expressed
without a fidget Of the features. The
greatest need Of the American girl is
to learn to keep her nerves down and
cultivate calm.-Philadelphia Press.

Canned PAINTINGS.

Painting under glass may now be
preserved indefinitely. Had the men
Of old known this the pictures of
Apelles might still live in the first
freshness of their colors, and the
work of Raphael and Michael Angelo
would look today as it looked when
it left the painters hands.
The method of preservation is SIM
pie. The canvas is placed in a
vacuum. 1t is preserved, like fruit,
1t is sealed up from all the destruc
tive influences of the atmosphere.
Since metal figures in the operation
the canvas might indeed be said to
be canned.
There is no reason why paintings,
kept in this manner in vacuum
should not endure indefinitely.

FEEDING ENSILAGE TO DAIRY
COWS.

A practical and successful dairy
man gives his plan of feeding his
cows through the Jersey Bulletin, and
among other things he says:
We make ensilage our main food.
It is unnecessary to enlarge upon the
value Of ensilage, for every dairyman
In the corn belt certainly knows the
value of this great feed We feed from
80 to so pounds of ensilage per day
in proportion to the COW. 1t is our
intention for our cows to have all
they want, and in the best condition.
In the winter the ensilage is not re-
moved from the silo until feeding time
and Is fed steaming hot.
The ensilage ration is balanced
with bran and clover hay. The bran
is fed in proportion to the period OF
lactation of the COW, and as much
as she will consume at profit. We
feed our ensilage and bran the first
thing in the morning; then do our
milking and separating; then feed as
much clover hay as the cows will
clean up before noon. The same meth.
cd is followed in the evening, feed
ing hay the last thing at night.
We do not depend on grass alone
more than so to rs days in the year.
from about May 10th to July goth.
Then if we have any ensilage left ov-
er from winter we feed about 20 to
25 lbs. per day. If we have no ensil-
age we plant small plot of sweet
corn early in the spring and begin
feeding as soon as it will do, cutting
from the field and hauling to the pas
ture each day This is a more expen-
sive way of feeding than the ensilage.
but it is far better than to let the
cows go hungry; for a hungry COW
won't give milk. Our cows must have
all they want to eat 365 days each
year.-Indiana Farmer.

CLEAN PIG GROWING.

My own experience of many years
In which have been very successful
In growing hogs teaches me that
cleanliness next to good blood Is one
Of the most important things. l have
compared my own management with
that of my neighbors who do not
take pains with their pigs, but let
their pens get filthy, the pigs full o
lice, and just go on pouring corn in
to their pens and doing nothing else.
They have just as well bred hogs as
have, but my hogs at the same
market age ON an average weigh 20
to so pounds more than theirs, though
we both finish and feed about the
same corn; that is about all they
will eat up clean at time. Why Is
this so. I can account for 1t in only
one way. / keep my pens cleaned
out, whitewashed and scatter lime in
them, eery once in while in the
fall and winter / thoroughly disinfect
the pens, and my barns, too. At the
very first appearance of lice on any
of my stock l kill them by using dis
infectant mixed with water. In this
way my hogs are not hurt with f1lth
and they get the full benefit of the
corn, and the lice don't torment
them.
do not think that careless farmers
and stock growers have any idea how
much of their stock feed is sacrificed
to filth and vermine. or they would
practice differently in their manage
ment Of their live stock. What ex-
pend in the way of disinfecting my
pens and barns does not cost one per
cent. of their losses in feedstuff.

OLD STOCK BEST FOR BREEDERS.

The foundation of success in the
poultry business is good breeding
stock, that from which the future lay
ers are to come. In selecting and
saving breeding stock for next year,
keep the old geese. turkeys and ducks,
also all hens that have done good
service. 1t is quite probable that
they may have fallen behind those
that are young as egg producers, but
1t is a rule that the strongest young
stock are procured from the matured
birds. The hundreds of chicks that,
as rule, fall by the way side and per-
ish from no apparent cause are the
offspring of pullets. Breeding from
the younger stock every year de-
stroys the turkeys. This fault is not
so frequent with geese, as the old
ones are not salable in the market,
the young ones only being sold and
the result is that geese give less
trouble in raising than any other class
of poultry There is tendency to
place too much reliance upon young
ducks for breedings purposes, result
ing in an increased loss Of ducklings
every year. When the old ducks only
are used. and breeders select the best
and most virogous for breeding pur-
poses, the difficulty of weak offspring
will be overcome. Farmers Ad.
vocate.
