CLEAN DAIRY UTENSILS.

In spite of all our care and pains
some Of the milk is apt to become
moro or less tainted. At this season Of
the year when the doors and windows
Of the barn are open, and ventilation is
good, there Is not SO much danger Of
contamination from the stalls or floors.
The worst troubles now are caused by
dirty utensils. Where milk is left in
cans for any length of time the cans
become infected These cans are often
only rinsed In lukewarm water, and the
germs in the seams and crevices are not
disturbed. No wonder milk sours or
becomes badly tainted. These cans and
all other tin utensils, should be scrub
bed with warm water, in which wash
ing soda has been dissolved. Then
rinse them thoroughly with boiling
water. II they can, be turned over a
steam pipe for a few minutes, so much
the better. All dippers, pals and
strainers should be treated the same
way. and good summing will help mat
ters.

A MUSLIN SEASON.

that his is muslin season, but this
term is elastic enough 10 embrace al
most anything from cambria to the ex-
Quisite Alsatian gauzes.
Pale yellow buttercups. with delicate
green leaves, decorate a very pretty
muslin in one Of the shops, and Irish
guipure and valenciennes lace form the
principal decoration. The vest and
bands OF the sleeves are made of the
two kinds Of lace, with added touches
of broderie Anglaise. The skirt is
trimmed with panels OF valenciennes
vandyked around the bottom and
stitched under headings of broderie
Anglaise with tiny ruchings OF valen-
ciennes running along either edge.
For summer wear nothing is prettier
than the checked muslins, and one Of
the most charming patterns seen is a
pale nlauve and white check arranged
with a full skirt, trimmed around the
hem with three muslin frills edged with
lace and set on with a heading of finest
valenciennes insertion. The upper part
of the skirt is also very prettily trim

in diamond shapes and also running In

VALUE OF + - Hay cRoP.

Hay stands third in value and I'm
portance In the crops grown In this
country. Any reduction I'm the bulk Of
the crop or. any deterioration In it's
quality will be felt in thousands Of
feed yards during the coming year.
Pr.ces are bound to run high and the
crop Is short. Every man who has an
acre OF grass land should take care
that 1t Is secured In the best possible
condition and have It put under wa
ter proof shelter. so that none is
wasted. Many are careless and very
wasteful when putting UP hay. Grass
is short this year. II the meadows are
clean, set the sickle bar low and get
as much Of the stem as possible. Don't
get caught with four or five acres down
and a shower coming up. Work close
to the mower and II there ia any time
when overtime Will count, II is in the
hay field. This is good year to put
up the hay In cocks. Cap them out
nicely, and don't leave stacks open over
night. Either top out the stacks, so
that possible showers viii not injure
them, or provide big stack cover and
spread 1t over, the half-forned stack
every night.

DON'T LOAD TOO HEAVY.

Never has there been known such an
appetite for more land as has taken
hold Of western farmers during the last
Ave years. AS a general proposition,
money invested In lands, or at O. rea-
sonable amount of debt incurred in
buying lands is good thing, but many
go farther than Is prudent, and ulti-
mately find themselves overloaded. The
mother of the writer was a shrewa
business woman. Her advice to her
Soys was to buy all the land possible,
out OF the surplus earnings, but go
very slow in mortgaging one piece Of
and to buy another. That Is sound ad-
vice. Sometimes it will pay to borrow
money to pay for repairs. and
better equipments, or put up
barns and sheds which will save
much more than interest on the
borrowed money. 1t is good bust
ness when one can make borrowed cap
ital make money for him. But borrow
ing money to increase the size of ones
farm Is hazardous, and once the habit
OF borrowing money is formed one is
apt to become careless In the ways in
which it is invested.

Government throughout the United

town, 8. d.: # a z"
Dear Sir-Your letter dated Nov. 27
ut hand, and was very glad to hear
from you. I see that you are still at
work persuading people to move into
the Canadian Northwest / must tell
you that owe you many thanks for
persuading me to come out here; am
only sorry that l wasn't persuaded
sooner, and there is still plenty of good
chances for many more right at the
present time. / hope that you will be
able to induce more to make a start out
to this part of the country. g..
Now / must tell you what have ac-
complished since / came out here, and
1t won't be three years till the 1st of
July next. l shall shortly receive my
patent for my homestead; the home
stead cost me $1,000 in all; to-day it
is worth $4,000 per acre, but it is not
for sale. Then a year ago last May
bought 800 acres at 500 per acre
and sold this fall for $1,000 per acre
and cleared profit of $4,160. How
is that for the Northwest? l now
have 800 acres OF land and all paid
for, Is head of horses, 30 head Of cat
tie, % pigs, sheep and about 150
chickens and other poultry, and all
new machinery, and everything is paid
for. We also bought s lots in Cal
gary and in High River. We gave
$4I0 for the Is lots and they are paid
for. At present consider myself
worth $4,000, and when l left Wis
consin less than three years ago I
had about $1,000. This year
threshed a little over 1000 bushels
of grain, have. about 1000 bushels Of
fine potatoes and about 500 bushels Of
turnips. Mrs. Beislegel sold about
$500 worth of garden truck and poul-
try this fall. Now there are lots of \
others in this community who did as
well as l did in the same length Of
time.
The family and myself are all well
at this writing and hope this letter
will find you the same. Yours very
truly,

FEEDING OR FLOWING UNDER
CLOVER r..>. I'd

A Kossouth county dairyman writes:
az have a piece OF clover which was
sown for the purpose Of enriching the
land, my intention was to turn 1t un-
der. With present prices OF seed. and
short crop prospect, do you not think
1t would pay to cut the clover for hay
and feed it?" h."#
BY all means cut the crop and put
It UP for winter feed for your cows. The
stubble and roots OF the clover contain
more than half of the manurial value of
the crop; and IL the manure is handled
right and put back upon the land, you
really have lost less than 10 per cent of
the manurial value of the crop through
feeding. This is a case where you can
eat your cake and have 1t too.

WASHING AND SAILING BUTTER.

The consumer Of country made butter
does not know the cause Of the poor
texture of his butter, but he does know
that something IL not just right, and he
~ apt to make q very vigorous kick.
1t is q nice art to know just when the
working of butter should cease. When
butter Is delivered to the consumer
within a few days after II is made, not
much working Is really necessary; and
a better flavor may be had IL the but
ter is taken out of the buttermilk,
drained little but not washed at all.
When butter is to be packed 1t should
be washed thoroughly to get out as
much Of the Gaseous matter as possible.
The matter of sailing is also a mat
ter Of individual taste, when private
customers are served. 1t is always well
to inquire Of ones customers whether
your butter. Is salted to suit them.
When butter is to be put up in storage
one ounce per each pound OF butter, will
insure better color, grain and flavor,
besides rather strongly salted butter
will keep the Lest.

FARM FACTS.

When meadows yield only a small
amount of hay, 1t frequently pays to
turn them up and cultivate them for
two or three years. Manuring some
times does not help matters. The soil
needs turning up, so that the sunlight
can sweeten IT.

IRONING A WAIST,

three thicknesses of flannel; lastly COW

lay the bed slat on the back Of two
chairs and slip your shirtwai1t sleeve,

cows and a bunch Of Plymouth Rocks,

the grocery bills.
There is not much need Of advice
this season on thinning fruit The
spring freezes have attended to that
in most localities, yet where trees es-
capped these late frosts they are load
ed. Under such short crop conditions
II Will be well to save as much of the
crop as possible, but don't sacrifice the
grade Of your whole crop by leaving
too much fruit on the trees to mature.
With the prospect of short small
grain crops and short hay crops, 1t be-
hooves every corn grower to make his
acres count this season. We are up
to cultivation now. The yield next
fall will depend largely on how well we
do the work in the cornflelds during the
next four weeks.
Don't spoil a mellow field by starting
the cultivators at once after a heavy
rain. Give the ground time to dry off
q little. II the work is kept we'll in
hand the weeds can be easily kept in
check, without jumping into the corn
fields when the soil turns up too wet
Don't compromise on the stallion
Breed the mares to good horses or don't
breed at all. There is a great search

a nondescript Is worse than no colt at
