Farm News.

This is the age for making expert
ments. Farmers need to provide tri-
ais, and so really learn in many dir
ections. They then should tell In
their paper what is ascertained.
In this spirit one good dairyman
gives an account OF his use of water
in his herd.
IF one desires" says he, ito get
a large yield of milk, give the cows
every day water slightly warmed and
sailed into which brand has been
stirred into the ratio of one quart

be a daily practice. Immediately {
COW will give 20 per cent more milk
and become so attached to what is

to refuse to drink ordinary clea
water. The amount of the prepared
drink necessary is an ordinary pail

day, August 18th, at 8 p M, at the

The assisting artists are Miss Carolina
De Fabritis, a mezzo-sOprano, who has
won much distinction by her singing in
Boston and in the larger Canadian cities,
St. John, N. B., and Halifax, n s.,
and has been for several years the head
of the vocal department in the Halifax
Conservatory. Her program will be
one of interest to music lovers, her
songs being taken from French, Italian
and English composers and Rossini' S

Miss Mary Miller needs no introduc-
ton to an Oakland audience as she has
frequently been heard in recitals and
amateur theatricals. Her readings will
be varied in character and all the people
who ever had the pleasure of hearing
Miss Miller will want to seize this OPP
portunity of hearing her again.
Miss Daisy Grant, who will be at the
piano, is also too well known to need
much said. The Accomplishments will
receive their full value at her hands
and her piano numbers will add much to
the pleasure Of the evening.
