This very point was discussed a month
or so ago with a country dealer in
~Biackhawk county, Iowa. L happened
IN n morning when several farmers
brought in their weekly supply. This
merchant had a large demand for dairy
butter. and on the whole the butter
delivered to him was far above the
average quality that is usually sold at
country stores. Some calne in packed
in f~ve-pound jars: SONS was in prints
neatly moulded and securely

badly shaped and very unattractive in
appearance. There was 81 difference of
4 cents a pound between the price paid
for the o~ne-pound prints and the big
HNe-pound rolls.

GRADING UP DAIRY HERDS.

Go into any dairy herd where a good
bull has been used for three or four
years, and see what has been done.
1t Is not unusual to see heifers with
their first calves giving more milk and
rlcher milk, than many of the old cows
in the herd. There is no mistake about
this matter, yet the majority of farm
ers who start into dairying neglect
this very thing and either start out
and pick up cows, or breed along year
after year, with an ordinary beef bull.
The growing scarcity of even ordinary
milch COWS, together with the prices
asked are driving some to sensible
breeding. This is shown by the de-
mand this season for Jersey, Guernsey
and Holstein bulls, and buyers are be-
coming more particular about the. ped
lgree of these dairy bulls. VIII it pay?
II you have fair cows only. it will pay
to buy a pure bred bull, for you can
depend upon his heifers producing
from SIS to S25 more butter fat every
year, than their dams.

H YOUNG COW.

A Wisconsin dairyman never keeps
the first calf of his heifers. His idea
is that the mother never forgets her
calf and with the young COW this is
apt to have some influence on her
milk yield. His heifers are bred very
young, frequently so that they drop
their calves when they are only ejgh-
teen to twenty months old. The calf
is taken away at once, and the young
COW never sees it again. From this
time on she has her mixer and feed
er about her, and she soon learns that
her business is to give milk whenever
her teats are manipulated. Some claim
that when calves are taken away that
the maternal instinct becomes more
or less dominant, and this is apt to
bring about irregular breeding. That
may be true, but many cows vii.
near enough to the season wanted;
and by never knowing their offspring
they naturally associate the milk pail
with the function of giving milk and
rarely a young cow thus trained will
ever give any trouble in giving down
her milk.

sAoEsTRiNe BREED OF HOGS

While travelling recently in Maryland
I was very much Interested in the work
OF Miss Mary Smith. who raises from
45o to 500 hogs every year, of the Shoe
string or ltazorback type, and sells her
cured products TO private customers in
eastern cities. The foundation OF her
herd comes from the genuine razor
backs which twenty years ago were
found running wild in the woods Of
Georgia. Under domesttcatioa these
hardy hogs have become quiet and now
go under the name of "Shoestrings."
They have long. fiat hams and great,
fiat sides of firm meat. Up to the fat
tening period they range in woods or
pastures, and they have never been
trained to store up fat. Their meat is
lean, with here and there streaks of
fat; 1t is firm and sweet and lacks that
greasy flavor found In all corn-raised
pork. The only care these hogs get is
about six weeks before they are killed.
The curing Is done after an old recipe,
and the smoked meats are never sent to
customers until after 1t has been in
the sm~okehouse for at least twelve
months. The meat is delicious. as |
can personally testify, and Miss Smith
has no trouble In selling her products
of 500 hogs annually.

WOMEN AS pHoToeRApHERs.

1t seems strange that so few women
succeed as photographers, for
prefer to go to their wv sex to be
photographed rather han to an bvi-
pusly professional" man, whose atten-
.ions remind them unconifortably of
chose of a dentist.
The trouble with the feminine
photographer ~ that she endeavors to
DE too artistic, at tine expense Of the
wishes of her patrons. People get their
pictures taken because they desire Il
Likeness and they do not relish an i'm
pressionistfc portrait vanishing into
the hadow Furthermore. she dis
regards her subjects individuality. She
should first of all try to End out how
they imagine they look-a very differ
ent thing from their actual appearance
and then strive to attain that ideal.
She must SOMEHOW make q nervous
d~isheveled, ui<attractlve woman a
miracle of cha m, and all without such
gross fiattery rs to cause suspicion.
None OF the other feminine arts will
come amiss in her makeup. She must
know Just what clothes and what al
te%rations In the dress will work the
transformation, and h must in a way
play the h~os.ess, and put her subject
at her ease.
1t is difficuls art, but those who do
succeed find tfWt in every way they are
| repaid for the trouble it took them to
!. reach their present status. And the
/; best Of all is that the overly esthetis
i photographer will find that by sup
pressing her eIrly artistic" tendencies
she has arrived at that true art which
Is only expresNed In simplicity and
~naturalness.
If u wifi chides you for forget
ting her birthday, tell her that there
Is not a thing about her to remindiyol
that she is a day older than she was
q year ago.
A woman wiz in one voice deny she
Is an egotist and claim credit for ali
her husbands good -ualities.

DON'T GIVE MILK TO CATS.


TO most people it will be startling
to hear that cats should net have milk.
1t is not a natural, save in the be-
ginning, God for them, nor a desirable
one.
Meat for food and water for drink is
the latest approved cat diet.
Be SURE and keep water about; many
a cat goes thirsty.
Nor even is it best to give kittens
milk. AS soon as they ere through
nursing. give them meat at once: don't
wean them With milk.
AT eight weeks the desirable food is
raw meat chopped fine. Beef is per-
haps the best sort, if one is going into
the thing scientifically, so to speak.
though there is no harm in general
table scraps where there is not too
much grease with them.
The best vegetable (for the diet
should not consist wholly OF meatl IS
! rice. This, cooked not too soft. an1
mixed with finely chopped raw neat.
! and given them twice a day. has beeli
found by a successful cat cultu1ist to
be the most satisfactory and healthtul
| diet.
Unlike dogs. they really do not need
regular washing, though it is aufra
possible to train a cat to A yee,lp
bath IL she IS taken early enough.

TO CLEAN EBONY.

Ebony backed brushes may be cleaned
by wiping the handle and back with a
little boiled linseed oil which should
then be carefully removed with a soft
10th. When there are silver initials on
the back of an ebony brush, polish
them with a little dampened whiting.
taking care that none of it touches the
ebony, as it is lard to remove from
the grain of. the wood.
