e FALL COWS.

Somehow it is difficult to get some
dairymen TO look with favor upon the
fall COW. / do not understand why il is
so, unless ii is a little more work to
take care of both cow and calf during
The winter tina it is during the spring
and summer. How many of the cows
which dropped calves during April or
May are holding out? How many will
hold out during fly time and late pas
lures? Does IL not o better TO have
.he cows dry during September and
October and have them come fresh dur
ing November. BY this time the fly
season is oYer and her gram feed viii
be turned into high priced pro Iucts.
She is at her best when II counts Tor
most, and she ome onto grass in the
spring al a period in lactation when
cows usually fall off. The fresh grass
will increase her f1ow and she will do
we'll until lear up into midsummer.
The increased cost Of handling the fall
fresh COW is not SO much IS Y would
think.

HAY FOR YOUNG STOCK.

On most farms there is usually a field
that will produce the finest quality of
hay. Frequently this is an upland
piece of clover, which has not grown
so rank as the bottom fields, and on
account of the lighter crop it is handled
better and cured out nicer. A very
sensible stockman tells me he always
V h crop off his kind Of a field
for his young stock, and he uses extra
care to cut it ut just the right stage,
and cure it nice and green. This hay
is not SO woody as the heavier growth,
and it is not near SO apt to mould or
become muSty. Young animals need
something during the winter to tempt
them, and nothing will do it like nice,
understanding clover hay, when the
leaves, and not big coarse stems, form
the bulk Of the crop. Just for the
calves sake, take some extra pains in
laying in the winter supply of clover.

stray Stories, but when she took one OF
her rare trips TO town she was so keeniy
on the lookout for impositions that sne
sometimes acted impulsively.
..I took down one impertinent young
man today" she announced proudly TO
her husband on her return from one Oh
these trying holidays.
IT was glancing into the window or a
shop where there were some
nice table knives, and | suppose l may
have stood there some time; but WASN'T
blocking the way or troubling n one In
the least.
A of a sudden a young shopman step
ped out into the window, and right against
the glass, close 70 where l was standing,
he puts a great card with the words Iron
Sinks on It."
well, what began Mr.. Marshall, bu:
his wife waved him into silence.
I'D stood enough already from the car
conductors, and so on" she said firmly,
and I'd no idea of letting that pass. SO
1 stepped into the shop and went right up
TO the young man and / said:
Did you think 1t was a good joke TO
place that card right into my face and
eyes? Or old you suppose tnat L neeueu
to be told that iron sinks?"
Il spoke very sarcastic-like, and he be-

card printed with Feathers Float or
some such thing on 1t. and when you see

caliy and mentally she had improved, and
at supper her mots, her wltticisms, kept

"As she ate her coupe Jacques, I heard

THE RICH DRIFTING TO HOTELS
New York City's Permanent Hotel
Population Not less Than $4,000.

New York City's Permanent Hotel
Population Not less Than $4,000.
From the Chicago Record-Herald.
The rich are drifting to the
cities as wei! as the wage earners.
They are going to the hotels and big
apartment houses to live rather than
permanent hotel population of New
York city is today not less thar 1885,
600 and everybody who Is familiar with
the city knows that as fast as the big
hotels are opened they are filled with
permanent boarders and casual pat
rons like the big apartment house in
Washington: although it is difficult to
determine where the people all come
from.
There are 1876 new, u~p-to-date, high
priced hotels in New York city, where
the rates for lodging alone in the hum
blest rooms are at least $3.50 y day,
and range from 81 to Sc a day with
a bath and without meals. II is stated
that 5000 families have given up their
homes and are now permanently estab-
lished in the hotels and apartment
houses. chiefly to avoid the annoyances
and the expense of housekeeping. The
difficulty of getting servants, the enor-
tics, the increase in the cost OF food, the
trouble of marketing and other cares
and anxicties connected with house
keeping are thus avoided. and for
those who are able TO pay the bills
there is a greater degree OF luxury and
comfort, with absolute independence
from care, for the same money in a
well appointed hotel than can be had
in an ordinary residence.

DAIRY NOTES.

A thing which puzzles many is why
one dairyman makes money out of the
business while another one. perhaps
alongside the first, just breaks even az
the end of the year. The two sell their
milk or butter fat daily at the same
creamery and are paid the same rate.
The trouble is In the cost of production.
The difference in the cost of foods
grown, and the value of their foods,
may account for the difference. Hence
me value of the food, and the capacity
Of the COWS turns the tables n way
Or the other.
On many farms milk is set in shallow
pans, which are put away from twelve
to fourteen hours for the cream to rise.
There is always more or less difhculty
In keeping the milk sweet. for not many
have ice, nor have they even cold wa
ter conveniences. These pans should
be carefully scalded after Zach skim
ming, care being taken that the work
is not hurried, so as to leave a scald
flavor. Before the pans are used again
they should be cooled; and, If they can
be taken right out of old water, as
they are wanted. for the new milk. so
much the better.
The COWS are in clover all right this
year; and the most encouraging thing
is copious summer hower will insure
a prolonged pasturing season. The re-
suits of good pastures are already
showing UP. in the increase OF milk
delivered at creameries over the cor
responding month of last season, also
in the better quality Of milk.
Don't allow the cows which freshened
last spring to even think of a holiday
for several months yet. They will be
all the better for constant milking. n
two months is enough of a holiday any,
way.
A correspondent asks whether it Is
prudent to crowd a heifer h first year
of milking. The essential thing is not
crowding so much as II is keeping her
at work and up to a good flow right
through the season. In order TO secure
this II may be necessary to feed some
| grain during the fall. but that Is as far
as the crowding ought to go.
Many COWS have been troubled this
spring with caked udders. A practi-
cal dairyman, who has handled many
of these cases, uses a salve made OF
four ounces of gum camphor and n
pound OF fresh lard. This should be
| applied 70 the udder three times a
day. In ordinary cases 1t will reduce
the Inflammation in a few days.
Not all cows are good cheese cows.
IL a COW gives milk containing more
than S per cent. of fat her milk is too
rich for economical cheese making.
Hence a very good butter COW may
not be a good cheese cow.
August Is usually a very hard month
In the dairy business. After such an

as we get into the fall the cows need
strengthening foods. N as cold wealth
er comes on they require still heavier
grain rations to sustain the milk flow.

FARM FACTS.

Cement is coming into wider use 0
on farms than ever before. An Iowa
reader asks whether it would make a
good floor for grain bins, where rats
and mice are numberless. Such floors
would be all right, providing the drain
age is good: or if the floors are raised
from the ground far enough to permit
ventilation to keep the cement dry.
The great cement storage tanks keep
grain, for any length of time, per-
lectly.

The best looking orchard I have seen
this season Is one in which the disc n
harrow have been going nearly all sea-
son The disc is driven lengthWise,
crosswise, in fact most any way to
get at the ground. There are M weeds,
and the ground is mellow as an ash
heap. / am fearful, however, that so
much cultivation has produced more
new growth than is really good for he
treeS.-L. G. B.
An old fruit grower tells me that the
pick is the best tool he has ever found
to use around apple trees when the
ground has become too firm. He sinks
the pick eight or ten inches into the
soil and merely prizes loose the dirt,
without disturbing the roots.
Some people dislike to lose any fruit,
and would rather nave two bushels Of
measly, worm eaten apples thar one
bushel of fine, perfect specimens. That
may be the reaso why some will not
thin out their fruit, but one might sus-
pect that something else was the real
reason.
With so much moisture in the ground
it will not do to cultivate too late in
the orchard. We need from now on
conditions that will ripen up the wood
that has been made this season. Trees
that go into winter with immature
wood are net in fit condition to stand
freezing weather.
A subscriber asks which are the best
red and black raspberries. The Miller
n Loudon are good red sorts, and in
black caps. the Cumberland and Kan
sas are as good as any.
On thousands of western farms.
where cattle are fattened during the
winter, the feed lots are situated on
pose of drainage. The best drained
feed yard is the n where all the ma
nure a be saved.
Not many farm horses are as well
broken as the ponies of western herd
ers. l have seen more than one OF
these wild, dashing ponies ridden into
town on a run stand for hours without
hitching. The loose reins were dropped
down over his head and he would not
bulge until the reins were gathered UP.
We talk too much to horses and they
become confused.
There is enough back-breaking work
to do without using the scoop shovel to
unload grain. Put in a portable dump
and elevator. The team will do the
rest, and 1t will take only a few min
utcs TO crib a big load of corn.
Mudding In oats has cost farmers in
the central west millions Of dollars this
year. This practice, ever with a toler-
ably dry growing season. is not advis-
able; and when wet. cold weather fol-
lows right on top of oats sown In mud.
there is not much hope for a crop.
A correspondent says that when grain
is properly shocked II Is a great saving
to thrcsh put OF the shock. The trouble
Is that shocks are hurriedly set up and
are ROT made to Withstand rain or
wind, with the result that much grain
is damaged before the thresher gets
| around.

class of 1894.
Mr.. Powers spoke first of what
should be the attitude of the graduates
in regard TO their life work. He said
that the practice of medicine was a
great and honorable profession 1t had
great past and its field of usefulness
was one that was increasing. He said
great discoveries have been made and
more will be made in the future and
the way for one to achieve success in
this )r any other field is to aim high.
He emphasized the fact that it is the
individual that counts, and not the
profession Man makes the profession,
not the profession the man. On this
oasis the success of life work de-
pended on the man himself. He said
that the great test of man is service
to his fellow men and the medical pro-
lession offers great opportunity in such
work
The speaker then discussed the atti-
tude of the man toward public life.
There arc Il great many problems that
are demanding solution and it is the
educated man who should take a prom
iiitlt part. oucH lllen SnOuIu DC active
