Dairy Dots.

Please the COW and she will please
you.
Have regular times for taking care
of mich cows.
A dairyman who treats his COWS as
enemies will soon have reason for it.
A food that is not relished by a cow
will not give good results because it
will not be we'll digested.
No section in which Bermuda grass
thrives can find a good reason for say.
ing that dairying cannot be made a
success.
Have all dairy products agreeable to
the eye. People buy with their eyes
and to a large extent eat with their
eyes also.
When raising a heifer for dairy use
her future value may be greatly in
creased by treating her in a kind and
friendly manner, so that when she be-
comes a producer she can be easily
handled.
When milking is begun do it quickly.
Do not let the desire for rapid work
cause rough milking, but begin and
continue at the COW as though thu
mixer meant business. She will fall
into the spirit of the occasion and per-
form her part of the work so as to
give the best results.
The disposition of a dairy COW is an
important element. She may be an
otherwise excellent animal, one capable
of producing much butter or milk, but
have so bad a disposition as to be hard
to handle. This may not only cause
much trouble and anxiety on the part
of the dairyman, but may also cut
down her yield.
Excellent butter may be made. by
using the. hand separator, by putting
the cream in an atmosphere of seventy
five degrees till it develops q slight
acidity, by then reducing the tempera-
ture to something near sixty-two de-
grees and churning it till it forms in
pellets the size of wheat OF rice grains,
and by then drawing off the butter
milk.
Dairying enricEes the soil, while the
/ production of cereals impoverishes it.
For these reasons no other branch Of
agriculture should be encouraged more
than dairying. In the rice belt the
lands are still new and just at present
there seems little need of looking after
| tie fertility Of the soil. But it is easier
and more profitable to keep the soil
rich than It is to impoverish it and then
to restore its fertility -Natielal Fruit
Grower.

Three Die at Crossing.

A sickening tragedy at grade cross
ings at Hackettstown robbed Walter
Williams and his young wife of their
lives and caused the birth of a child to
the dying woman, and the infant, too,
was slain. Williams was in charge of
millionaire Alfred Sully's mansion,
near Hackettstown, and had driven to
Allamuchy to spend the day with his
wife. On their return they We're
held up by a coal train at the High
street crossing Of the Lackawanna
Railroad. The gateman raised the
safety gates and Williams drove OIL.
He had barely reached the tracks when
a flying train. known as the Comet

rushing up. The unfortunate couple
new knew what struck them, for they
were cut to pieces in an instant. The
horse was also grund to bits and the
carriage crushed to atoms.

Woman Killed by a Train.

Mrs. Mary E. Cross was instantly
killed by an east-bound passenger train
Oh the Laekawanna Railroad at Lyons
station, fifteen miles from Someryille.
She was about to cross the tracks to
take a train for Newark. As she
stepped on the rails she saw an express
train approaching and it is believed
that she thought it was a local passen-
ger train which was about to stop at
the station below the point where she
was crossing, as she did not hurry to
get out of the way. The train was
running at sixty miles an hour. She
was caught between the rails and her
body was hurled on the station plat
form among a number of passengers.
She is survived by a husband and one
child,

Bordentown Fears Water Famine.

The possibilities of a water famine
in ~Bordentown, due to a controversy
over municipal ownership of the water
plant, has aroused something akin to a
panic. When the city decided to coll
Struct a plant of its own it made a con.
tract with the old water company to
continue the supply until January ID,
when it was to surrender possession of
its reservoir and pumping station. The
city has not completed its plant and
meantime the old company has sold its
plant to Harold B. Wells, who was TO
have taken possession on January Is.
Now the city refuses to give him pos
session or to pay him his price for the
plant. The fact that Wells has it in
his power to shut off the supply of
water if he shall see fit causes much
apprehension among the people. The
city has a patrol on guard at the plant
to retain possession.

Christ Anchors the Soul.

Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler, speaking
of Christ as an anchor to the soul, says
significantly: "You are certain to be
assailed with troubles. No hurricane
can strike a full rugged ship more sud-
denly than S .orms of adversely may
burst upon you. But if Jesus Christ
ie in your soul you cannot suffer
wreck. The anchor sure and steady
will hold you. People do not see what
holds a vessel when the gale is sending
the pillows over her bow. The anchor
is invisible, as it lies full many Il
fathom deep on the solid ground be-
meath the waves. So. when we see a
good man beaten upon with heavy adj
versities and yet preserving a cheerful
spirit, we do not discover the secret OF
his serenity. But the eye of God sees
that there is an interior life hid with
Christ in that soul which no storm can
touch There is many a bereavement,
many a trouble that may strip a man
of canvas or cordage, but never touch
the solid strength of his cody charac-
ter"
