MANAGING THE Heller.

Keep the heifer INTENDED for the
dairy growing and in good condition.
Glover or alfalfa hay, peas, oats, bran
and other heterogeneous food should con-
stitute the winter ration. A little corn
meal or ensilage may be added, especi-
ally if she runs out good deal or her
quarters are cool. She will need this
latter kind of food for the carbon it
contains, which she burns up in keep
ing warm.
Upon good management at this time
depends the future COW. Her care and
development up to the time of her first
calf will go far to fix her capacity as
a producer. Treat her kindly and keep
her in confidence. Never speak to or
treat her roughly, nor allow the hired
man to do so. When she comes in,
milky her clean and pamper her appetite
so as to keep up the flow of milk until
the second calf If allowed to dry off
early she will be hard to cure of it
afterwards and will want to go dry
early every year. A long milking period
is very important and is matter of
education largely. If the heifer is
MIXED ten months with her first calf
she will milk about that length of time
With each calf.
Accustom the heifer to handling be-
fore she freshens the first time but do
not handle tie udder or go through the
motions of milking, for it may hasten
milk secretion and cause udder inf1am-
nation and trouble. When the calf is
born, place it near her head where she
can lick it, at the same time gently
milk her. In this way much trouble
may be avoided in breaking her
If the calf is allowed to suck she may
object to any other method of being
MIXED. The calf, too would prefer
his nourishment from his mother, and
the longer he is allowed to suck the
harder it is to teach him to drink.
Don't allow the calf to suck even once,
but feed it the milk direct from the
heifer.

Of boracic acid and the use Of any pre-
sentative in the manufacture of food
products is prohibited by law. The use
of rennet in cheesemaking has been rec
ognized by the pure-food commission,
but it has decided that it must be
placed on the basis of a food product.
Boracic acid is necessary in the manu-
facture Of rennet, but such a small
amount is used that 1t cannot be found
in the cheese.

PORTO RICO EXPORTS.

Last year Porto Rico exported 210,-
273 tons of sugar valued at $14,1S6,319
and 2S,29o,322 pounds of coffee valued
at $3,4S11O2 The value Of the tobacco
exported was $3,555,163. This is an
enormous increase over previous years,
being double the largest year ever ex-
perienced under the rule of Spain We
are indebted to the New York Press for
these statistics.

ton with good, sweet cream We can
only see three ways out of the dilemma.
First, mix all together and thereby
damage and deteriorate the whole
churning and reduce the price of the
butter that the man who supplies pure
sweet cream is entitled to, or return
the off grade cream, and take the
chances on losing a patron, or grade
and pay for each grade as we do with
wheat, according to it's value. We ap-
rreciate the fact that it is a difficult
problem and that it requires a good
nose and taste to establish cream
grades. The goal every producer Of
dairy products should strive for is per-
lection.

A GOOD SIRE ESSENTIAL.

At a dairy convention in the discus
sion of the matter Of a good sire, it
was generally agreed that in value and
Importance the pure bred sire was more
than half the dairy herd. To illustrate
this fact Governor Hoard, of Wiscon-
sin, related the following incident
I'm 1876, a man in Jefferson county
came to me and said: I have been
trying to make some money out Of my
herd of COWS. They are grade short
horn COWS and the best I can get them
to do is about $50 pounds Of butter per
COW, and I have worked hard Now,
he asked me what he should do, and
he said very feelingly, can't stand
it to work the year round for such
small results. Shall I sell off these
COWS and go and buy dairy cows? I
think not 1 said. Well what will
do? I said, You want to raise dairy
COWS, don't you? You don't want to
fool away your time with poor cows,
you want good cows Yes Well,
you go and buy the best Jersey bull
that you can finland If you pay a
good high price for him, the better
and put him at the head Of your herd.
He did so; he paid 5000 for a very fine,
prepotent, strong-blooded Jersey bull.
Now, my good farmer friends, I want
to show you something When the
daughters of that sire came in to milk,
at four years of age, the average was
275 pounds Of butter per cow That is
what blood will do when bred in the
right direction. In one remove from
that bull it made a difference of 125
pounds of butter per cow"
More than one farm heifer has been
injured by the absence of a proper milk
ing stool. Sitting on ones toes be-
comes tiresome after a time and in the
case of a heifer whose undeveloped I'D
der renders the job of milking her a
rather tedious one, the last end Of the
milking is pretty sure to get sighted
unless the mixer Is in a fairly COM
Portable position. That means a spoiled
COW presently. By the way, did you
ever think how much unnecessary
weight from the arm is thrown upon
the cows udder by using that ridicu-
lousy low stool? Just try a higher
one and see If it is not a great deal
what she thinks about 1t.
To pay the same price for rancid
cream as pure, sweet cream is mani
testify wrong and unfair, as well as
ruinous to the product. To absolutely
reject and return all off grade cream
will, without doubt, improve the grade
of butter Off favored cream has some
value but should not come in competi-

sect From Patients Traehea.
Sounds funny perhaps to say that an
ant-one lone ant-almost killed a
strapping chap twenty three years old.
but that was the experience of Edgar
Smith of Shrewsbury, Mass.
Smith sat in the shade of IN old ap-
pie tree on recent Sunday afternoon
and prepared to feast on fine assert
ment OF sandwiches and cake. A lean.
shiny black ant fell out OF the tree
plump on the edge of the first sand
witch as Smith took his first bite. That
was the only bite Smith took The ant
took the rest
The ant wriSgled. So did Smith.
The ant, reaching out wildly with
legs and mnndibles. at last got n stran-
gle hold halfway down Smiths gullet.
Smith coughed, sneezed, gagged, sput-
tered, spluttered. whistled, blew, sang
and shouted. All In vain. The ant
nipped the delicate membrane of the
mans throat with its powerful jaws
and hung on for dear life.
Smith in despair tried two Shrews-
bury physicians. Neither could dis
lodge the ant The insect took fresh
hold every few minutes. Suffering the
torture of tickling as well as pain from
the bites. Smith made a rush trip to
Worcester and hastened to DR.. Rich
ard j. shannahan. police surgeon.
Shannahan smeared honey on the end
of bit of waxed thread and worked
it down Smiths throat to a point
where 1t touched the ant. Honey was
more appetizIng even than membrane,
1t seemed, for the shiny wriggIer loosed
his hold and fastened his jaws in the
string, whereupon the surgeon trium-
phantly pulled him out

The Best Way to Prepare the Ground
and Sow the Seed.
A good lawn may be made either by
laying sod or growing seed. II turf

for use in less time than when seed is
used, but practically the difference is
very slight. Fewer lawns are made
from turf every year. The turf or soil
is nearly always obtained from near
by field. 1t abounds in coarse grasses
and pernicious weeds. The former
may be got rid of after considerable
trouble. but the latter rarely ever. Sod

No Robher Has Ever Bur9larized King
of Anan's Treasury.
Some years ago the king of Anam
was somewhat perplexed to devise a
means to defend consid cradle amount
of recently acquired treasure, seeing
that in Anam iron safes of good
resisting power are unknown and in
view of the further fact that lzlfortu.
nately among his majesty's loyal sub
jects there were no inconsiderable
number of adroit thieves. SO therefore
the king had to resort to some means
in harmony with the natural circum.
stances of his country.
Armed human guards he could not
fully trust. Animals do not zeal mon
ey, and nature had supplied his majes-
ty with an animal that could not be
wheedled or killed except with great
deal of danger and trouble The croco-
die is such an animal. Happy thought!
The king would have the crocodile
guard his specie reserve.
Yet to avail himself of the services
of the crocodile he must keep his mon
ey in a place where crocodiles are at
home. Nothing was more simple. In
