Regular Hours for Feedinu.

Many farmers do not realize the i'm portance of feeding their stock at reg. ular hours. but 1t is of great impor. tance. Take lot of hogs which have to wait after their regular time for feed and see how restless they be- come. And what Is true of them is true in a great measure of other ami mals. The man who is regular in his habits, eating at regular hour, will, other things being equal, thrive best and be healthiest and strongest; and what is true of man in this regard is correspondingly true of the lower ami mals. A farmer can readily get into the habit of feeding his stock regularly and they will learn to expect 1t at a regular time and rest patiently until the next feeding period comes about. Experiments in this direction would soon satisfy the most doubting person of the truth of the value of regularity in feeding-Epitomist

IN LIFE'S BRIEF SPAN.
Experiences, Joys and Sorrows of tho
 Human Existence.

The loves and friendships of indi- viduals partake of the frail character of humaI life, and are brief and un- certain. The experience of human life may be shortly summed up: A little loving and good deal of sor- rowing; some bright hopes and many bitter appointments; some gor- geous Thursdays when the skies are bright and the heavens blue, when Providence, bending over us in bless ings, glads the heart almost to mad ness; many dismal Fridays, when the smoke of torment beclouds the mind and undying sorrows gnaw upon the heart; some high ambitions and many Waterloo defeats, until the heart be- comes like charnel house filled with dead affections, embalmed in holy but sorrowful memories; and then the chord is loosed, the golden bowl is broken the individual life-a cloud, a vapor, passes away.-Matthew Hale Carpenter.

Don't let your cows stand in a mud pond and then expect your milk to keep sweet. Milk drawn from cows that are smeared with mud half way cp their sides is not only filthy, but absolutely dangerous to the consumer
 If a separator agent or any one else tells you that you need wash sep arator only once day, kick him off the farm. A cream separator is good thing. Get one by all means, but keep it clean.
 The skim milk from the separator is an excellent feed for pigs and poul- try. It is an important source of profit that the dairyman should not lose sight of.
 The most sanitary and most satis- factory way to deliver milk is in bot ties; but these bottles should be thor oughly washed and sterilized before being reflled.

FARMING IN
 THE SOUTH
THE COTTON PICKING SEASON.
The Staple Should Be Gathered as
 Rapidly as It Opens.

The world is standing in anxiety, awaiting the outcome of the cotton picking season in the South. It means prosperity, not alone to the nation, but to millions of humanity who depend on it for employment and clothing. The chances are now that the farmers will receive greater benefit from the pres ent crop than they have ever received from any one crop before. In many sections the yield will be fair, judging by present prospects, and good prices are practically assured.
 However, there is a feature in the cotton picking season that can be made to add greatly to the farmers revenue. It consists solely in gath ering cotton as rapidly as it opens. If this plan is followed the staple is kept at it's highest point and there fore more valuable. There is no loss from drying out, storms, and various other causes that work to the detri- ment of the crop if left out in the field after it has opened. The aver age farmer can save enough by pick ing his crop promptly to pay for the gathering, ginning bagging and ties.
 It is an easy matter to demonstrate the value of such a method. Take a plat of cotton alongside another that is equally as good and pick it, leaving the otLer in the field as usual, and figure out the result. It will be greatly in favor of the patch that is picked.
 But there is more than mere ma teriality to the cotton picking season. Men with masterly minds have knelt at the shrine of the kingly plant and wept tears, men with miserly natures have gloated over the turn of prices in a single day. Women, who should have been as gentle as the southern breeze and as tender as the spring time plant touched by the morning dew, have become hardened in the iron grip of it's powers. And the grand est homes ever reared have been made desolate by the turn of the season s yield.
 That is not half the story. In the strenuous times of less than twenty years ago thousands of farmers had to struggle to earn mere pittance from the most fertile land that has ever been peopled by a progressive lot of folk. Tn the cities, thousands of mill operatives turned the staple into thread and cloth and so-called hard times prevailed on every section of the country.
 But times have changed since then and the farmers of the country have 1t in their power to maintain present conditions indefinitely. The market ing of the crop can be carried on sys tematically to great advantage Planting crops needed at home and growing winter crops that will pro feet the farms will be found beneficial in every instance.

Farmers who buy grass seed need to be especially careful about impuri- ties. It is well known that many of the injurious weeds have been i'm ported into localities by means of grass seed. One sample which was tested in Ohio contained 32 species of foreign seeds, some especially of which it is almost impossible to get rid of. Perhaps alfalfa is adulterated most. but don't let this scare you out. Send a sample of the seed to your experi- ment station and have it tested.

Now that the young roosters are running at large they will grow rap. idly if properly fed, but should tho denly show weakness in the legs. If they eat, and seem well otherwise, they will soon become strong again, as the weakness is caused by the birds growing in height rather than in breadth, the legs seeming to grow stronger. Such birds show these symptoms of weakness more on a sud den change of the weather than at any other time.

culated to cool herself. The average
native woman looks frail and listless,
but there is no suspicion of listless-

She files a half-gallon earthenware

made Of baked clay and, not being
glazed, is practically porous. SO that
It soon becomes moist on the outside.
Nv means of two leathern straps firm
ly attached 10 the neck of the jar the
woman causes the same to rotate
swiftly In the air. The mouth Is wide
open. bat centrifugal action keeps the
water from flying out. The endurance
exhibited by the woman is marvellous.
When the operator thinks the water
Is sufficiently cooled she stops tina
by a dexterous twist OF her
wrist and hands the jar to the mar
who has been waiting. It Is said py
this oce tepid water can be re
duced to the temperature OF Q coos
