WINTER SALADS HOUSE.

Last fall l felt that in order to be
perfectly happy in my garden must
find a place for cold house or pit.
The house is a lean to &C feet long,
and six feet wide The terrace wall,
which is six feet high, was used as
the back or high wall of the house.
The upper ends of the sashes rested
on the top of the wall which was built
up two inches with cement grooved
to fit the sashes. The lower ends
of the sashes rested in groove made
of cement on a brick wall, which was
two feet high. To cover this house
l used % 3 by feet sashes. Six
of the sashes We're cut and hinged,
so they could be opened as needed
for ventilation. The north end of the
house was built up solid with brick,
while a door was made in the south
end The walls are made of brick,
washed down with cement.
While l do not remember what the
whole cost of the house was, | do
know that all of the material used
excepting the sashes) was worth
about $50. This house has no fire
heat, but derives it's warmth from the
sun. During the cold weather the
sashes are covered at night with straw
mats.-Garden Magazine.

How Geese Are Shod.

ut is in the country round about
Warsaw, in the Wilma district. They
do this because the geese have a
long annual journey to make-a
journey to the goose market.
You see, in the late fall and
early winter, a goose market is held
at Warsaw, and geese to the number
of 100000 congregate in the town.
The geese march to market on foot.
Some come from 100 to $50 miles
away. The average distance they
come from it's sixty miles, and to
protect their feet on this long jour
ney they are shod.
ITO shoe the geese, the gooseherd
first makes them walk back and forth

their feet they then walk through

mixed tar and sand, and it protects

ACTUAL BUTTER FAT.

It is suggested that farmers who
deliver cream to the creameries set
tie for the cream on the basis of the
actual butter fat content of the same,
and this can be readily determined
on the usual test basis. The New
York Farmer in regard to this says;
Suppose the test basis to be adopt
ed by your creameryman, what of
that? Will not you have more butter
fat to sell from the S,000-pound yield
er of 3.5 per cent fat milk than from
a 5,000-pound yielder of per cent
or per cent milk? At 3.5 per cent
the 8,000-pound COW will give you
$50 pounds of butter-fat If you throw
out such a COW and put on a 5000
pound cow that averages 4 per cent,
you will have only $50 pounds of
butter-fat With the S,000-pound COW
you will have 80 to 80 pounds more
of butter-fat and nearly so hundred
weights more of skimmilk, worth at
least 20 cents hundred, than you
would have with the 5,000-pound cow

purpose to put lower price on Hol-

instead of frightening you, should en-
courage you to put on Holstein-Frie-
sian COWS totally. You are in the bust
ness to make milk. If the Holstein-
Friesian cows meet the call for you,
they are the cows for you. If your
creamerymen can not, or viii not
handle your milk. they have the liber-
ty to reject it and quit business. This
is a free country. If you milk pro-
ducers will submit to dictation by the
middlemen, whose fault is it? Put on
8,000-pound or 10,000-pound cows, call
for the test, feed back your skim
milk, and you will make money.
Run a cooperative creamery and
make high grade butter, you and your
neighbors, and you will make still
more money.

Takes Horse Into Next World.

An Arabian horse of rare intelil-
gence has been put to death at
Hollis, Long Island, because the
owner, Daniel Carpenter, promi'
nentreal estate operator of the town,
who is critically i'll of an incurable
malady, could not bear the thought
of leaving his faithful steed behind
him perhaps to fall into unkind
hands.
For nearly thirty years the horse,
noble animal, of sturdy courage,
was Carpenters almost constant
companion. 1t drew its master
wherever he went, and was so loved
that it had long borne the name
Baby Carpenter" given to it by
the family. 1t was fed out of the
hand, and would follow the daughter
around with its nose over her shout
der 1t was known to everybody in
the neighborhood, and was gen.
eral pet.
The horse and its master grew old
together. When sickness overlook
Carpenter he began to worry about
Baby. The horse, too, gave every
evidence that it realized it was los
ing its best friend. 1t would come
up around the house and neigh for
its master, and gradually it seemed
to grow feeble and respondent.
At last Carpenter, now an aged
man, could no longer stand the idea
of leaving the. faithful old horse to
strangers. With many wrench at
his heart-strings he mustered up
courage to tell his daughter to have
Baby killed. Sadly the family pet
was disposed of. When the news of
its death was taken to Carpenter,
he grew worse.-N. Y. World.

CLEANING HAIR BRUSHES.

Valuable brushes, such as those
with ivory or tortoiseshell backs, may
be thoroughly cleansed by using bran
instead of soap aud water. The brush
is dipped into bran, which must be
rubbed into the bristles as one would
soap, and the particles may afterward
be removed by tapping the brush
bristles downward on the table. The
process is somewhat lengthy, bat it
prevents the bristles from becoming
softened, as they inevitably must be
if wetted. When every trace of bran
has been removed, the brush will be
found to be perfectly clean, and may
then be wiped with soft silk hand
kerchief.

MEANING OF DOMESTIC ECON
OMY.

Did you ever ask yourself the mean
ing of the term domestic economy!
Most likely you never did. Notwith-
standing the growing popularity OF
this branch of study, there is no sub
ject the name and nature of which
is so generally misunderstood.
Some young women think it means
cookery and laundry lessons" 9TH
ers think "scrapping and saving"
would more fifty define it, while dim
ideas of so-called mental duties and
domestic drudgery float through the
brains of others.
But these are small nibblings at
the outer bark" of the truth, which
is that domestic economy is saving
knowledge, a knowledge which relates
to the intelligent and cultivated man
agement of everything connected with
the home.
1t is the science of the home, and
pre-eminently woman's science.
It is the woman's work to make the
house into a home. Every woman
ought to know how to do all things
necessary to make home happy, says
Womans Life.
The husband earns the money, but
the principal part of it has to be spent
by the wife. Hence it is very i'm
portant that ali girls should learn do
nestle economy. But please remem-
Der that domestic economy is one OF
those things that cannot be learned
from books aolne.

HORSES THAT SELL WE'LL.

A breeder and grower of horses
has these sensible suggestions in
letter to American Farming. He says:
Many farmers think that there is
no money in raising horses. Yet there
is constant demand in the markets
at remunerative prices for horses OF
definite type. Last summer l had
opportunity to talk with farmer on
this very point. He was near an ex-
cellent horse market, and on his
farm he was producing an album
dance of the finest horse feed. But
the buyers did not want his horses.
The trouble was that they were mel
Their draft horses nor road horses;
neither express horses nor coach
out the right form and weight for
any particular purpose. This farmer
had started with a number of fairly
good mares, but had used first one
stallion and then another without any
definite idea in mind as to breed.
The natural result was that the colts
showed mixture of incongruous tend
encies. All that could be said for
them was that they were horses. The
modern market will not buy monde
script horses. They must be horses,
of a different class draft horses,
roadsters, etc.-with the proper form,
size and action to admit them to that
class. By consulting horse buyers the
farmer can easily learn what the mar
ket requirements are, and can breed
horses that meet these requirements.
Then it will be found that there is
money in raising horses. But there
is surely no use in producing mon
grel horse when no one wants it.
There are several ways in which
horses may be improved by intelli-
gent selection and breeding, such as
the farmer adopts in securing a herd
of cows noted for their milk yield
or a flock of sheep to produce win
ter lambs. / once had occasion to OBJ
serve a company of cavalry horses
that had been selected for their rapid
walking gait. These horses, without
urging, would easily make five miles
an hour on walk. l had pre-
viously thought my saddle horse was
a fast walker, but found that he had
to be trotted at frequent intervals to
keep up with the procession. This
seemed to be an interesting point, and
/ accordingly timed several ordinary
saddle horses. They made less than
A mile per hour. Now there are lines
of work in which a fast walking gait
would add greatly to the value of a
horse. The walking speed of horse
can be increased by breeding Just
as readily as the trotting or running
speed. A fast walker is more in de-
mand and is good for more purposes
than fast runner. Horses are just
as susceptible to improvement by
breeding as other animals are. 1t will
therefore pay farmers who are fitted
for this work to breed up line of
horses with fast walk. Don't be
content with present standards, but
raise them.

EMBROIDERED PINCUsHIoN.

A long, narrow pincushion that is
designed to stand against the back of
the bureau is of white linen done in
eyelet embroidery. The top is really
a linen dolly that is larger than the
pincushion itself, so that a border is
formed which is finished in an irregu
lar scallop done in buttonhole stitch.
Sits are cut and buttonholed in
the top and ribbon is run through
them and tied in two stiff little bows
at the top and bottom, directly in
the center. The cover is made up
over a colored silk lining the same
shade as the ribbon, which gives an
opportunity for carrying out the col
or scheme of a bedroom.

ply an involuntary motion of the foot
to relieve pain. The most effectual,
remedy for kicking COWS consists in
buckling strap snugly about the
body of the COW, just in front of the

most confirmed and viciously inclined
kickers are at once subdued. Those
who have employed this simple

made for shelter. Notwithstanding
the fact that the disadvantages of
mud and dirt were recognized by five
hundred cattlemen, correspondent
with by the department., only thirty
six of these cattle feeders reported
definite provision against such condi
tons. Ten of these men have the
surface of their feed lots paved or
otherwise artifcially covered, fifteen
use rock, gravel cinders, bricks,
planks, corncob or sawdust alone, and
in combination in various parts of
the lot-about the feed troughs, water
tanks, sheds Or gates. Ten of the
correspondents stated that they had
made the lots dry enough for feeding
purposes by a tile drain, while two
reported that the yards had been
graded and the mud and manure re.
moved by means of dirt scrapers.
Several of those who use coal cinders
for filing the muddy portion of the
lot, stated that care must be taken
to keep them covered with straw,
cornstalks or other bedding material,
in order to avoid injury to the feet.
AS the result of the letters received
by the department, two plans have

designed to accommodate fifty cattle;
the .other a feed bunk for use in
