Worth the Difference.

A big jobber sent an aspiring young
man on the road to open up new ter
rltory where a new railroad was going
through. All the towns being new,
there were no hotel accommodations,
and 1t was necessary for the salesman
to secure meals and lodging at restau-
rants, etc, where the price was 25 cents
per meal. On looking over the expense
account the manager noticed all meals
charged at 90 cents
Look here, Charlie; I see you have
charged us 80 cents per meal on your
trip, and 1 am reliably Informed that
1t is impossible to get a meal for more
than 25 cents in your entire territory
How about IT,"
We'll" said the salesman, you are
right. 1t did cost me but 25 cents per
meal, but tell you, sir, it's worth the
other % to eat those meals. New

Bottlinq Milk.


While it is true that much clean milk
goes to market in cans, the bottle,
filed at the farm and securely capped,
is the most cleanly and satisfactory
way to handle it, said f. Z. Dawley
at a meeting Of the Massachusetts
board Of agriculture. The equipment
is quite expensive, but the extra milk
that is lost in dipping, together with
that which is stopped. viii, Il is claim
ed by many producers, pay the cost Of
the bottles. 1t should be remembered,
however, that unless they are properly
cared for the glass bottles may be the
most unsanitary method of delivery.
Some bottles win come from families
where the cleanliness is questionable
or where there is disease, and it seems
to have been proved that disease germs
can be carried in them.

Farming and Stock Raising Should
Now Be Profitable.
In the early day all western products
had necessarily to seek a market in the
east, and the New England farmer
found it difficult to compete in the pro
duction of cereals and meats, but con-
ditions have changed, says a writer in
New England Homestead. The center
Of population is gradually travelling to-
ward the Rockies. With each succeed
ing year the now populous west con-
sumes more and more Of her farm
products. which means that competl-
tion I'm Boston and New York between
home grown and western STUFF is de-
creasing Then, too, the virgin fer
tillty of the soil west is being exhaust
ed In some sections commercial fer
tilizer is already a necessity. This, OF
course, increases cost of production
there and TO that extent benefits the
producing New England farmer. I'm
der this new order of things farming
and stock raising with him should now
be profitable.

will advance in price. In fact. they
have already done so In localities
whose recently organized boards Of

a small way brought TO notice the ad-
vantages these fine old farms offer.

fine water, good roads, attractive
lakes and streams, splendid schools,

The csbbaae Crop.

A considerable portion Of the cab
bage crop is handled in bulk. When
forwarded by carload or shipload the
heads are cut from the stalks with a
heavy knife or light hatchet and all the
outer leaves left on. When prepared
for market they are dressed up by re-
moving the outer unbleached leaves.
Cabhages are often shipped in venti-
lated or slat barrels. Tight barrels
keep them too warm and may caus,

watsr For Dairy Cattle.

1t Is absolutely essential for the
highest milk production for an animal
to have good clean water and plenty
Of It, says Professor Err. About 81
per cent Of the milk is water, and if
the cows supply Of water is limited
the milk yield is proportionately re-
duced 1t pays to furnish pure, pala-
table water in summer as well as in
winter. Cows should not be allowed
to stand I'm ponds Of water which be-
come so filthy that the COW frequently
win not drink enough to maintain a

to taint the milk, and some OF the filth
which collects on the cows body while
standing In the water is apt to fall in
the pail during milking. Milk contain

women and children lad raIk.

DR.. Marade, a French scientist and
inventor Of what he calls ''volce teleg-
raphy," has discovered the reason why
women can talk longer than men. II
will be unfair to find fault with wom-
en- for talking hereafter, because we
now know they are built that way.
The doctor says: "a woman can talk
four times as long as a man with the
same expenditure Of energy. 1t is mere
" a question Of the amount Of air
which escapes from the lungs during
phonation. and, as a woman's larynx
is narrower than mans and child's
than a woman's. 1t is evident why chill
dren can prattle for hours at a time
and why women can maintain the IA
tigue Of conversation so much more
easily than q man"

Pure Water For the Cow.

The healthy animal should be pro
vided with a constant supply Of pure
water. The statement that the COW
prefers dirty water is false. The cow
prefers dirty water If 1t is Of a more
suitable temperature than the clean
water offered. but clean water With
the,chill taken or win be preferred to
the same water full of filth. 1t is
hardly reasonable to expect that the
cow is going 10 produce pure and
wholesome milk when she has 70
drink water full Of dangerous organ
isms. Many epidemics in the herds
have been traced TO the impure water
supply. If the COW is drinking water
which is likely to make her sick, It is
hardly safe TO use her for milk.

In commercial practice budding IS
performed in the north from early July
until the middle Of September. In the
southern states It usually begins in
June. As a rule. apples and pears are
budded before peaches This is due
to the fact that peach stocks are nearly
always budded the same season the
pits are planted. and the operation must
be delayed until the stocks are large
enough TO be worked. Most other fruit
stocks, especially apples and pears, are
not budded until two years after the
seeds are sown.-Bailey.

A supply OF salt available whenever
the COW wants it is necessary to main
tain a high milk yield says Professor
Oscar Err. Salt stimulates the APP
petite and assists digestion and as
slmilation, which increase the flow
Of the fluids Of the body. Sailing
feeds for dairy cows once a week is
not sufficient. 1t is a good plan to
keep rock salt under shelter where the
cows can get It at win and then feed
loose salt once a week in such quan.
titles as the cows will eat. Loose salt
may be used exclusively If It can be
sheltered from rain. Do not mix salt
with feed, for frequently cows get
more salt than they need, which will
reduce the flow. Cows having salt
kept before them at all times in sep
arate compartments will not eat too
much.
An overfeed Of salt to a COW that
has been deprived Of it for some time
acts like a poison and produces an ir-
ritation in the digestive organs which
results in securing.

ARE NOW ARTESIAN WELLS.
One Curious Result of the Earthquake
at San Francisco.

1t has just been discovered that the
upheaval of April IS did funny things
to the wells in the courtyard at the
rear of the San Francisco mint, says
the Chronicle of that city. For years
prior to April 18 these had been ordi-
nary, well behaved wells, yielding
water plentifully when a steam pump
was employed. But now they are
spouting artesian wells, from which a
steady stream of water flows when
no pumping is done. This was discov-
cred when the pump was taken out for
repairs, the courtyard being flooded
within short time.
The wells we're bored many years
ago, and are about It's feet in depth.
There was apparently a subterranean
connection between them, for the
pumping of water from one lowered
the water in the other. Normally, the
water was within 80 feet of the sur
face, and that was the condition when
the pump was taken out last March.
Recently, for the first time since
March, the pumps were again re-
moved when it was discovered that
the water flowed freely.

Greek and Roman Artillery.

Greek ordinance-which was adopt
ed by the Romans without any ma
terial alteration-was, almost without
exceptions, dependent on the hand
bow principle, says the Technical
World Magazine. On trying to shoot
a larger bullet to greater distances,
the elastic arms of the bow were nee
essarily made so strong as to be no
longer susceptible of tightening by
hand. A tension shaft had therefore
to be fitted to the bow, which shaft
was tightened with levers or hand
wheels. Finally, as the power of
bows altogether failed to insure the
efficiency desired, their bending elias
ticity was replaced by the tensional
elasticity of neura, that is, ropes made
from animal sinews, wOman's hair, or,
in an emergency, horsehair.
