VALuE OF soILINo CROPS.

Even with the best of pastures the
cows relish some succulent soiling crop
during the late summer months.
Grasses get little tougher, and while
they are then in the best stage for
making prime quality Of butter, other
green crops have their place and they
pay. Our Canadian brothers have
learned this long ego, and on most
dairy farms one win find a nice patch
OF oats and peas, some early corn or all
falfa, where II can be grown. This
system has 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
were kept continually on the pastures.
by putting In ten acres to supplement
tary crops, and allowing cows on the
pastures only during the evening, the
number OF cows was increased to forty,
and the whole herd did better than be-
fore. Sweet corn, millet, rape and
pumpkins can all be planted up to

would attempt the life OF Alexis. This
was weeks ago. Details OF the child's
daily life have been kept secret ever
since.
He was getting four meals every
twenty four hours last spring, and
these never included mutton broth or
pudding that had not been prepared
under the eye Of his mother or OF some
one designated by her.
The III health OF the child Is ascribed
TO the misfortune that SO few resi-
dences OF the czar do not leave much
to be desired from the point of view OF
sanitary science One OF the czahlina's
spells Of illness has been traced TO the
defective plumbing which makes cer-
tain imperial palace uninhabitable In
summer because of its odors. Her
majesty is said to tremble for Alexis
when she remembers the revelations
made by the eminent Moscow physi-
clan DIR. Za.Sharin. as to the contribut-
ing causes OF the ailllent which finally
carried of the late Emperor Alexander
III.
The private apartments OF the im-

cannot be hurried to the Crimea like

A very becoming style for a little
girls dress is made of fine white lawn
mer, yet is not always fashioned in
the same manner. This dress was for a
little girl of 4. The lace yoke, short
sleeves and belt were trimmed with
narrow lace insertion and baby blue
ribbon. The ribbon roscttes completed
the finishing touches The knee length
skirt was very full, neatly hemmed
and tucked, but was not trimmed with
lace insertion. A hat of the same ma
terfal, trimmed with blue ribbons, and
forgct-me-nots, looks attractive, too.

L.ossEs OF CREAM.

On many farms where only 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 creaming.
there Is bound to be great loss OF
cream the result of setting the milk in
poor places and skimming before all the
cream has risen. These losses can be
overcome by providing cool place for
the milk or by using small hand
separator, and separate the cream while
it Is fresh. Yet, summer care OF milk
Is a hard proposition, without ice, or
spring which insures cool running
water all the time. ! am tempted to
say to the women who are compelled
70 do without these essentials fortkeep-
Ing milk sweet and making good but
ter. read the law to the men next win
ter, and insist upon an ice house. IT
Is really very little work to put up a
few tons OF ice, and then there is no
excuse for lost cream or soft butter.
