VALUE OF soILiNe CROPS.

Even with the best of pastures the
cows relish some s%ucculent soiling crop
turing tsH late suInme months.
Grasses get a little tougher, and while
they are then in the best stage for
making q prime quality of butter, other
green crops have their place and they
pay. Our Canadian brothers have
learned this long ago, n on most
dairy farms will find a nice patch
OF oats n peas, some early corn or al
falfa. where 1t can be grown. This
system has a double value, furnishing
green feed when 1t is badly needed,
and increasing the capacity of the
farm. On one farm of eighty acres,
twenty cows was the limit where they
We're kept continually on the pastures.
BY putting In ten acres to supplement

pumpkins can all be planted up to

LOSSES OF CREAM.

i On many farms where only a few
COWS are kept to supply the home table
with butter and milk, there is not much
attention paid to proper methods of
caring for the milk or cream. When
crooks or pans are used for Dreaming,
there is bound to be a great loss of
cream, the result of setting the milk in
eoor places and skimming before all the
cream has risen. These losses can be
overcome by providing a. COO place for

NOTICES FOR. THE TEA DRINK
Frs.
Don't take your tea too hot, or it
will scorch your stomach.
Don't take your tea iced; nothing is
l worse than an iced drink upon a tired
stomach.
Don't take your tea at a regular hour
/ every day as though it were a meal, if
you want the English complexion.
Take a certain quantity; the English
rule of two cups is good, but three will
do no harm if the cups are small and
you are very tired.
Sip your tea, or, as the v~egetarians
say. "eat" 1t. Don't swallow it whole
or in great gulps; it must be masti-
Gated If it is going to do your system
any good.
Make your tea a pale amber in color,
the paler the better.
Take cream with your tea if you are
very tired; otherwise take lemon with
It. Lemon and tea act as a great COM
plexion clearer. A Glove helps to steady
the nerves.
Learn to make a tea bracer. 1t takes
q slice of lemon, a cherry, a dash OF
rum n some weak and very hot tea.
Remember that tea is fine for the
complexion. The woman who drink
enough weak hot tea need not worry
about drinking hot water. The tea
clears the skin In a miraculous way.
