DINING IN FRANCE.
Tact With Which Guests Are Brought
into Social Group,

Every one knows his position and
his cue, and every hostess knows
that part of her duty is to indicate
and to give them, says Professor
Barrett Wendell in Scribner's. Per-
haps the most characteristic in
stance of the way in which this af
fects social conduct is what gener-
ally happens at dinner party. In
stead of sitting at the ends of the
table, where they are far apart, the
host and the hostess sit opposite one
another in the middle, where the ta-
Bile is narrowest and where they are
able at once to keep in touch with
each other and easily to talk with
the guests on either side of each.
Thus company of twelve is at once
brought into single social group,
and the outlying members of a lar
ger party are not so far away that
they cannot readily listen to the
general talk or even take part in it.
And the talk is always general,
addressed no doubt to one or anoth-
er of the company, as the tact of
the hosts happens to find pleasant
est, but never broken into a system
Of separate confidential dialogues,
as is generally the case at home. A
French dinner is not noisy any more
than is French drawing room. But
in either case the deeply subdued
tone of voice prevalent in England
and among the better sort Of Amer
leans would be almost a breach of
polite manners. Every social func-
tion in France, even to the most in
formal, has a social character far
more pronounced than ours.
The individual is there to enjoy
himself. But he is also there to play
his part. In consequence all social
intercourse in France has quality
less personal, less confidential, some
what more reserved, than an Ameri-
can is used to. Whoever, even in
private places, finds himself in the
presence of his fellow beings con-
ducts himself in many ways as if he
were in public. The French are in
no way conscious of this phase of
their manners. It is as normal to
them as it is novel to an American
visitor. And it results in a general
and cheerful, though not quite init
mate, conviviality which makes our
own manners seem in contrast
somewhat melancholy in their dual
isolation.

POINTS FOR THE
HORSE BREEDER,

In bulletin issued by the Uniyer.
sity of Wisconsin the writer, F. G.
Warren, the well known breeder, says
about the care and management OF
stations: A few things that consider
of great Importance are. first, before
using the stallion let him get some age
No colt will breed as well as an old
horse, from eight to sixteen years old.
provided the horse has been properly
taken care of. Next, avoid all pam.
pering, both as to care and feed. Feed
and work him as you would any horse
not overheating or overexerting him.
If not situated SO you can work OF
drive him, have good, roomy yard
where he can run and exercise at his
own free will. There are three things
that should be remembered that are
not conducive to fertility in the stall
lion or to soundness, strength or Ion
gevfty in his progeny-viz, idleness
pampering with unhealthful food and
putting him to service when too young
If these matters are observed and you
will limit your horse to the proper
AulaDCl VI A1dlCS, yOu Will get SOOu
results.
AS to feed, we would give him a lib
eral quantity of oats and bran, two
parts oats and one of bran, twice a
day, and once daily through the mare
season a good feed of boiled barley
with a little faxseed cooked with it
Mix with bran and feed hot at night
This, with good timothy hay and sufi-
cient grass, should constitute his daily
feed, with perhaps a few ears of corn
occasionally. Remember this one i'm
portant matter, keep your horse healthy
and as near a natural condition as pos
sfble. To do this you must feed and
exercise him properly. This must be
continued all through the year. The
man who keeps his horse right just
through the mare season and then con-
fines and keeps him in an unhealthy
state all the rest of the year will find
himself with an improbable stallion
in a short time
The Useful Hackney.
An old English breed still popular is
the hackney as bred for many years
for speed, endurance and style, says
American Cultivator. 1t is a full
breasted, short backed horse, rather
short legged and carrying head and
neck like the typical coach horse. AS
compared with other coach breeds, it
is rather more blocky and broader in
shoulder and rump. Of late years
breeders have aimed at a more stylish,
high stepping gait, sometimes to an
exaggerated degree.
The feet should be carried clear from
the ground and well raised at the knee

A Good Calf Rearing Mixture.

The following Is one Of the most sue
cessful of homemade calf rearing mix
lures when used along with a little
linseed cake: Two parts, by weight, Of
oatmeal; two parts of cornmeal, one
part of pure ground faxseed. These
meals should be finely ground. 1t Is
prepared for use by boiling with water
or by scalding with boiling water
and allowing it to stand for twelve
hours. The calf rearer Is recommend
ed to begin with a quarter Of pound
per head daily for calves a month old,
new milk being fed the first month.
The allowance may then be Increased
to half a pound and more per day as
the calves become older, and the meal
may be supplemented profitably by
half pound to one pound Of pure lin
seed cake per head daily.-W. r. Gil

short time sufhces to ruin any piece

One wonders that as bits and stirrups
are only rubbed up for special occa-
sions steel should be SO generally used.
It is true that no manufacturer will
guarantee a nickel bit, but it Is far
easier to keep bright than a steel one,
and, as farm horses are rarely of
''Iarky" disposition, the risk of break
would be slight. The market team
fares no better. 1t may have been
good one originally, possibly bought
second hand as q bargain and nicely
done up by the local carriage builder,
but it is very seldom washed and nev-
er properly dried, SO the paint and var
nish soon lose their pristine freshness,
and the farmers wife or daughter can
no longer drive to town taking an In
nocent pride in the turnout which at
first excited SO much comment.

The Way to Doctor Cows.

Perhaps the best way Of demonsHat-
ing the danger of drenching Of cattle
is to advise the reader to throw back
his head as far as possible and attempt
to swallow. This you will find to be a
difficult task, and you will find it more
difficult and almost impossible to swal-
low with the mouth open. For this
reason drenching cattle is dangerous.
However, if a cows head be raised as
high as possible and her mouth kept
open by the drenching bottle or horn
a portion of the liquid is very apt to
pass down the windpipe into the lungs,
sometimes causing instant death by
smothering and at other times causing
death to follow in few days from con-
gestion or Inflammation Of the lungs.
Give all cattle their medicine hypoder-
mically or in feed. If they refuse feed,
give it dry on the tongue. The proper
method Of giving COW medicine Is to
stand on the right hand side, placing
the left arm around the nose, at the
same time opening the mouth, and
with spoon place the medicine, which
should be Of a powdered form, back on
the tongue She can then swallow
with safety.-Dr. David Roberts, Cat
tie Specialist.

The Man Behind the Cow.

If ''the man behind the cow would
do his part no Improbable COW would
masquerade under the fictitious appella-
ton of milk cow" says f. D. Coburn
of Kansas. She would either be sent
to the butchers block or be made to
return profit by more intelligent care
and management. 1t passeth under
standing why theft in cow should be
tolerated more than theft by human
being. In effect the loss to the con-
sumner is in either case the same. Our
government has found it wisdom to
study and establish far reaching meth
DDS for the detection and suppression
of crime by the human family, and by
the same token why should our farm
ers and dairymen be less vigilant in
regard to this possible proclivity in
their cows-beasts described as dumb,
yet outwitting their owners?
So long as cows Of this class are per-
mitted in the dairy herd just so long
will there be dissatisfaction and fail
ure. Improvement is the route to sue
cess, whether by breeding or better
management, and Intelligence in our
COW owners is the power that will
force development In the right direc-
ton

THE DAIRY CALF.
Feed and Care Necessary For Growth
and Development.


r and Development.
One of the very best feeds to give the
skim milk calf is oats chop, says the
Farmers Advocate. Throw a little
dry chop in a box and allow the calf
to eat of it whenever it desires. Grad
ually increase the amount as the calf
grows older.
The calf should never be confined in
a stall during the day if the weather is
warm and dry. Exercise is the prin-
cipal thing in the development of con-
stitution.
If the reader is feeding heifer calf
with the intention of making a dairy
cow of it when it has matured, there
should not be much fat forming foods
given. Cornmeal, ground barley and
even chopped rye should be fed spar
ingly. The little animal needs feed
rich in protein, such as oats chop and
bran, with only enough fat forming
feeds to balance the ration and furnish
a variety.
Treat the calf kindly from the first.
The gentle pet never makes a kicking
COW. Let the children pet it until it
is 'as gentle as lamb"
Do not feed the calf too much coarse
feed, as it has the tendency to distend
the paunch and make an i'll shaped ami
NAL. On the other hand, do not make
the ration entirely of concentrates.
Careless methods Of feeding are re-
sponsible for most cases of disease in
young calves. Cold milk, as well as
milk that has been overheated, is in
furious because it upsets digestion.
Overefeeding is almost as bad in its
results as feeding too little until the
calf is old enough to eat hay.

Of market milk and cream.
Test Your Cows.
The testing of each COW at least
once a week as to quantity and qual-
ity is the basis Of all successful dairy
ing, as in only too many cases the poor
cows in a herd eat up the profit Of the
good ones. Better to have six good
cows than to have twelve medium
ones.
The Dairy Sire.
The external qualities Of dairy sire
are indicated by bright, prominent
eyes far apart, a masculine head and
neck; deep. broad chest; deep, capa-
cious barrel; soft, loose hide; clean
bone and a general spareness Of flesh,
especially In the region of the shoul.

from the shoulders backward the dairy
bull should have the same general out.
line possessed by the dairy cow. BE

showing that abundance of ~vigor 90
necessary In a good breeder.
Cow Testing Associations.
In some states recently cooperative
COW testing associations have been
formed and are wedding out those ami
mails which are not profitable and In
this manner putting the dairy indus
try on a profitable footing.
A Contest For Cleanliness
In California a unique campaign for
cleanliness has been started. The
dairymen in the vicinity Of Arcata are
going to try to outdo each other in
keeping their places clean. The plan
is to have each dairyman who enters
the contest deposit in the bank 81 each
time he cashes his check from the
creamery. At the end Of the year q
committee will visit each one of the
dairies eontesting, and the three who
have made the best showing in q
sanitary way will be awarded first,
second and third prizes.

HANDY HAY CAPS.
Their Use on Alfalfa and on Glover.
Put Green Into Cocks.

Their Use on Alfalfa and on Glover.
Put Green Into Cocks.
The cloth in the cap is made from az
sheeting torn into pieces forty inches
square, and to each corner a larger
washer weighing about one-fourth of a
pound is tied, says Hoard's Dairyman,
which shows one of these caps In the
accompanying cut and comments as
follows upon the use Of hay caps:
Put Up Into Cocks.
The hay is put up into cocks about
seyenty-five pounds each and then COW
cred with the hay caps. The weights
cap tend to keep the cloth tight over
the hay, for as the hay settles the
weights drop closer to the ground.
To shed the water well the cloth
must be kept smooth and free from
wrinkles, and to accomplish this the
weights, when the caps are put over
the cocks, should be several inches
from the ground. This method gives
the weights an opportunity to pull
down constantly on the four corners of
the cap.
To Shed the Water Well.
Some have recommended pegs be at
tached to the corners of the cap and
hook them into the hay to hold the cap
over the cock. This system would be
all right if the cock of hay did not set
tie, but since the hay through settling
would soon pull away from the cap,
enough to materially loosen it and
cause more or less pockets and folds
in the covering, we do not recommend
this method.
There is no better hay for dairy cat
tie when properly cured than alfalfa.
1t compares very favorably in compo-
sition with bran, as is shown in the
following table, which gives the
amount of digestible nutrients in 100
pounds each of bran and alfalfa hay:

When bran in these days is worth

Later in the day he sought him out

reply. '1n fact, I promise you that
I will never commit another crime,
but will in future lead an exem-

4 LITTLE NONSENSE.
LITERALLY Speaking, the Doctor Told
the Truth.

Two or three generations ago DR..
Samuel Reed was one of the promi-
nent physicians of Boston. His
large practice included many pa
tients outside the city limits, and
these he visited in buggy.
One day he bought a new horse,
with which he was much pleased
until he discovered that the animal
had an insurmountable objection to
bridges of all kinds and could not
be made to cross one.
As at this period it was neces-
sary to cross some bridge in order
to reach any one of the surrounding
towns, the doctor decided to sell the
horse. He did not think it necessary
to mention the animals popularity,
but was much too honest to misrep-
resent him, and after some thought
he produced the following advertise
ment, which he inserted in local
paper:
For Sale.-A bay horse, warranted sound
and kind. The only reason for selling 10
because the owner is obliged to leave
Boston.

grooves to carry the liquid down to a
pail or a dish placed to receive it. The
lever at the underside has a round or
sharp edge.
Three Things Necessary.
A writer for the Cream Bulletin gives
these three points as the things neces-
sary to produce good separator cream:
The first requirement is perfect clean
illness. Every article that is used about
the milk must be washed with good
soapsuds or some washing powder ev-
cry time it is used. The sooner it Is
cleaned the better. After being wash
ed it should be thoroughly scalded with
boiling water and then thoroughly
dried. find borax excellent for clean
ing my separator.
The second requirement Is to keep
the cream COOL The best place is near
an open window at the northwest cor
ner of the house. This provides free
circulation Of air. The vessel in which
the cream is kept should not be shut
tight with a metal cover. 1t is better
to keep a thin damp cloth over it, as
this allows ventilation.
The third requirement is to keep the
cream we'll stirred. Fresh cream
should never be added without mixing
it thoroughly with that which is al
ready in the can.
By following these instructions it
will not be difficult to deliver good
cream in good condition.
