BASE BALL BOY.
Song Air down on the farm,

Song Air down on the farm,
When a boy just learns to crawl
He wants to play base ball.
And his sporting father pats him on
the head,
And says my darling son
When you are twenty-one,
You shall swing the bat and wear the
stocking red.
Then when he is a man,
He wonders through the land,
With bat and ball and scratches on
his face.
And he has a great desire,
To be bold umpire,
And for no other business has taste.
So boys just one and all,
Don't grow too fond Of ball,
And listen to the kind words I have
said,
For men who need a boy,
I'm sure will not employ,
The fellow who has learned no othc,
trade.

In the Blood

When 4 man produces a COW
that gives lots Of milk he can be
pretty sure that most o, Der
good qualities were in her blood

a few who do not believe il
strongly enough 10 put il into
practicc-that 10. to set out 70
breed good cows by giving them
the right kind OF blood before
they see daylight. An instance
was recently reported from the
Nebraska experiment station

a 7.ycar Holstein COW bad pro-
duccd during the last 3 weeks
over 500 pounds OF butter and
$4,000 pounds OF milk; aud he,
daughter. Katie, was by her also
producing over 500 pounds OF
butter and 1900 pounds Of milk
in the last SS weeks. That
daughter was doing kood work
because that old mother OF hers
helped to give her the right
kind OF blood. Each OF these
two cows still had 10 weeks to
complete their year, aud it 10 ex.
pected that each Of the two will
make a new record for their
state. Katie is 3.year.old and

Dairy Cream

In hot weather be partic ularly
careful to provide pure clean
water ia abundance for the COWS.
The various reports concern.
ing the success of the milking
machine are for the most part
rather favorable, though some Of
the reports continue TO be unfa.
vorable.
BY having some side line, like
fresh eggs or fresh vegetables,
one can make a small dairy a
success when the milk is dc.
livered to the residents Of towns
of little size. Success is some
times easily reached by adapting
ones work to the conditions he
must work under.
1t is very commo for dairy
men 10 deliver fresh eggs to
their regular customers when
the milk is being delivered; but
it is less com mon for dairymcn
to deliver vegetables in the
place of the eggs. This can be
done profitablv. and the manure
from we'll fed dairy cows will
make the soil rich enough TO
grow vegetables quick and we'll.
Onions should no, be carried on
the wagon with milk, since the
milk would become tainted.
Towns of 1000 population are
large enough to make it prohta'
bic for 4 dairyman to deliver
milk to regular customers. II
no one is delivering milk at pres.
cnt, many OF the people living in
such a town will be found keep.
ing cows just for what milk is
used at home. II not at first,
then 4 little later, a large pro.
portion of those who keep cows

essary would gladly sell the
cow if some dairyman would
bring clean pure milk TO their
door every day.

Currying Cows

Dairymen who like to give
their cows the best OF care not
uncom monty hold the belief that
it pays as we'll to curry COW as
it does to curry a horse. Some
The Southern farm gazette., 1907-07-01


but there arc also many who
think it does not pay to curry a
horse, particularly when they
must do the work. The writer
must confess that he does not
have enough data on the advant'
age of currying milk cows to
warrant him in forming an es-
innate Of the ordinary value Of
currying them; but feels that
the ordinary benefit would be
considerable; and the dairyman
in the territory Of the tick has
an additional very strong reason
for currying his cows.
If cows were curried regular.
ly and thoroughly, or even If
they were curried only two or
three times a week, ticks would
be prevented from sucking so
much good blood out OF the cows.
A COW can convert food into
forms that will make only so
much rich blood. That blood
can be used for only one thing.
1t may be used for developing
the COW, maintaining her in
good health, aiding her to give a
good quantity OF milk. or TO feed
ticks. What blood is used for
tick feed is no, going &c main
tain the health OF the COW or to
make milk. When COW is
shingled over with ticks. the
amount OF blood drawn out by
the pests is larger than one
would imagine, and on the whole
currying milk cows in tick sec.
tons ought TO be profitable
work.
A cow If nervous and not used
to being handled may not take
we'll to being curricd at first,
but il treated gently will soon
get used to it and like it. The
currying will have good inhu.
ence on the skin, and healthy
skin is material aid in main.
tanning an animal in good health.
Under some conditions currying
cows regularly might result in
freeing a place from ticks, and
this might and might no, be dc.
sirable. One condition that
would favor killing out ticks
when currying was done rcgu.
larly would DC when there we're
no horses, mules or other cattle
to keep ticks alive on the farm.
The condition IN which il might
be undesirable to have A place
free OF ticks is when cattle

SOUL HOUSES.
One of the Queer Customs of the An.

One of the Queer Customs of the An
 cient Egyptians.
 Egyptian "soul" houses were curious edifices made probably between the tenth and twelfth dynasties-that is, about 3G00 and 3300 B. c. The same principle that caused the warriors steed to be slain on his grave seems to have actuated the early Egyptians when they built house for the dead mans soul.
 The beginning of the custom was that mat was laid on the gave, with pan of food upon 1t. Afterward this offering was carved in stone as a ta- ble of offerings to give permanent sat isfaction for the soul. Then to the ta- ble was added a shelter copied from an Arab tent, and this gradually was elaborated. The shelter was placed on columns, hut was put into this DOT tico, chambers were copied, and finally appeared complete two story houses furnished with pottery models of couch, chair, stool, fireplace and the figure of a woman making bread.
 The soul was conceived of as ascend ing from the grave through the ground and requiring shelter while feeding on its everlasting provision. and yet. though 1t ascended through the earth. 1t needed staircase to go up to the upper floor, and the soul had a donkey, for which q manager was required Chicago News.
