cause heaving when it thaws. The
heaving results only in saturated soil.
Heaving of the soil is a notice to the
farmer to drain his land. This work
should be done before it is time to
pillow for the fall wheat crop.

The Milking Machine.

The makers of milking machines

attempt to place on the market a ma.

a small city in New York, but is not
yet placed on the market. The manu-.

seem as enthusiastic as are most

is a thing in their favor, as they ap-
parently recognize the great dificulty

Jersey Cattle.

1t is rather strange that very little
island in the English Channel should
have produced a breed of COWS that
has become the leader as a specific
dairy breed and that is now known
the world around. 1t is also rather
strange that the world has so taken
to this breed that now there are hun
dreds of times more Jersey COWS pro-
duced in other countries than in the
Isle OF Jersey. The secret Of the
influence of this breed is that in this
island they have been selected and
bred for long time along lines that
must result in the production of the
very best possible dairy COW.
This little Island of Jersey formed
part of the Duchy of Normandy in
early times. 1t is about IL miles long
and not more than seven wide. not
much larger than two townships in
the United States. Its area is about
60 square miles and about 10000
acres. 1t will thus be seen that its
area Is much less than that included
in the city of Chicago. The climate
is, however, very salubrious and PEG.
pie find it delightful place in which
TO live. This is probably the reason
why its population is $4,000 or there
abouts, more than 1000 to the square
mile.
The exact origin of the Jersey cat
tie is unknown, but it is believed that
they came from Normandy. The con-
slant selection of the finest types did
the rest. The care they have received
is responsible for the production of
cow that is great milk producer but
is not one suited to roughing it. The
man that wants a COW that will stand
all kinds of hardships should not Sc

HIS JUDGMENT AT FAULT.

One instance Where Balzac Failed as
a Graphologist.
If there was one thing upon which
Balzac flattered himself more than
another 1t was his skill in reading
character from handwriting.
But he made a sad mistake on one
occasion A lady brought him an ex-
tract from the exercise book of a ~
year-old schoolboy and asked him for
an opinion as to the youngsters char
aeter and prospects. Balzac inquired
whether the child was her own. An
swered in the negative, he examined
the exercise carefully and delivered
his judgmnt.
Madame" he said, "this child is
thick-headed and frivolous. He will
never come to any good. II he were
my child | would take him from school
and put him to the plow"
Then 1t was explained to the novel
list that the specimen on which he had
pronounced SO severely was one of
his own which had been discovered
hidden away between the leaves of an
old lesson book.

Dusty Stables.

l long agJ came to the conclusion
that it is not desirable to have hay
dust constantly blowing or falling
about the mixer This hay dust has
on it many kinds of bacteria which
get into the milk and affect it, some
times quite iniuriously In an old
stable where we used to keep our
COWS the NOW was just above the
heads and backs of the cattle. The
cracks between the boards were not
very tight, and in the spring when
most of the hay had been used the
aust easily fell through these cracks
and onto the COWS A cat running
over the boards above would send
aown shower, which comprised mil
lions OF particles. Even the COWS NOV
ing about and Earring the boards would
start a small shower which, while not
much noticed, contained many germs
that we did not desire to have in the
milk. We had great deal of trouble
with our milk, which was peddled out
10 customers by milkman that pur-
chased 1t from us. He said that some
times the complaints were that it
would not keep and at others that
there was in the milk a hayey flavor.
Still at other times the complaint was
that in the settling in the can there
was a fine grayish cloud, which knew
to be hay dust.
So determined to shut off the dust,
which | found not very easy thing
to do, especially as we fed from the
floor in front of the cows. The first
thing | did was to make the part over
head SO tight that nothing could get
through. Then | constructed a long
manger for the cows to eat from and
that relieves us from the necessity of
feeding on the floor. However. | find
that even now we have to be careful
not to get the hay stirred up before
we have completed milking. | wish
other readers of the Farmers Review
would tell us their experience with
hay dust.

FROM SAME BOX
Where the Foods Come From.

Look here, waiter, honest now.
don't you dip every one of these faxed
breakfast foods out of the same box?"
We'll, yes, boss, we duz, all 'cept
Grape-Nuts, cause that don't look like
the others and people know 'zaclSly
what Grape-Nuts looks like. But
there's bout a dozen different ones
named on the bill of fare and they are
all thin rolled flakes so 1t don't make
any difference which one man calls
for, we just take out the order from
one box"
This talk led to an investigation.
Dozens of factories sprung up about
three years ago. making various kinds
OF breakfast foods, seeking to take the
business of the original prepared
breakfast food-Grape-Nuts These
concerns after a precarious existence,
nearly all failed, leaving thousands of
boxes of their foods in mills and ware
houses. These were in several in
stances bought up for song by spec
ulators and sold out to grocers and
hotels for little or nothing. The proc
ess OF working on this old stock has
been slow. One will see the names
on menus of faxed foods that went
out OF business a year and half or
two years ago. In a few cases where
the abandoned factories have been
bought up. there is an effort to resus-
citate the defunct, and by copying the
style OF advertising of Grape-Nuts,
seek to influence people to purchase.
But the public has been educated to
the fact that ali these thin faxed
foods are simply soaked wheat or oats
rolled thin and dried out and packed.
They are not prepared like Grape.
Nuts, In which the thorough baking
and other operations which turn the
starch part of the wheat and barley
into sugar, occupy many hours and re-
suit In a food so digestible that small
infants thrive on II, while II also con
tains the selected elements of Phos
plate of Potash and Albumen that
unite in the body to produce the soft
gray substance In brain and nerve
centers. There's reason for Grape
Nuts, and there have been many imi
tations, few of the article itself, but
many more of the kind and character
of the advertising. Imitators are al
ways counterfeiters and their printed
and written statements cannot be ex-
pected to be different than their
goods.

Postum Co. at Battle Creek. Addition.

piled in quantities.
