Lunches LIZ Germany.

I was told at $50 it was time for
luncheon. writes an American tin
smith working in Leipzig. On stating
that did not care to eat, he told me
that it would be better If did no
work, so l sat down for half an hour
and watched the others. At noon we
had an hour and half and at o'clock
fifteen minutes for lunch.
1t may be Of interest to some read
ers to know what the German eats.
For his first breakfast he generally
has milk roll and cup Of coffee.
The second breakfast Is almost always
a slice of bread with lard or goose
Oil, piece Of sausage or cheese and a
bottle Of beer. For dinner he has two
slices of bread as above. with a her
ring or large green pickle. cheese or
sausage and another bottle of beer.
For lunch another bottle Of beer and
milk roll For supper soup and po-
tatoes.
This is the general variety Of foods
we had for the four months worked
in that shop, and they had 1t day in
and day out.-New York World.

sueeuIent Foods For the Cow.

Now is the time to plan for q good
supply of green or 'succulent food for
the cows next winter No doubt this
can be more cheaply produced with the
silo. but all dairymen do not have
silos, and they are not always practi-
cable on the small farm where only a
few cows are kept.
If you do not grow corn for ensilage,
try growing some roots this year.
Mangel wurzel beets are unequaled
and perhaps the best succulent food
for winter. There is no food grown
the cow likes better, and 1t Is gen.
orally safe to leave this question to her
as to what Is good for her.
The cow always keeps In better
health when fed green food with grain,
and 1t is absolutely necessary to maxi
mum milk production. do not con-
slider 1t safe to feed as much grain
as must be fed for the largest pro-
duction without green feed.
1t costs something to grow mangels,
but they are worth all they cost. Sc
lect a piece OF rich, mellow land: use
seed drill, hand and horse wheel cult
vators, and the work is very much re-
diced. Turnips, small potatoes and
apples are all good and should be util-
lied. l consider these succulent foods
just as needful to my cows as to
myself to keep them in good health

Finding a Grave With an Eaa.

The Miau-tsze, little known tribe in
Asia, are very superstitious about
death and will not bury a man until
they have first tested the ground with
an egg. This operation is very curious
While the body is being prepared for
burial number of Miau-tsze, includ-
ing the male relatives of the deceased

large basket of eggs. STOPPING down,
one of the natives let's an egg drop
softly on the ground. If it breaks 1t is

Ing eggs over the ground until they

FRANCE VII.

Sudden Cooling Of Milk.
No principle involved In dairying will
bear repetition better than that con-
corning the Importance Of cooling milk
quickly after 1t is drawn. In the ordi-
nary summer atmosphere unless spe-
cial pains are taken to reduce the tenn
perature ideal conditions are fur
nished for the development Of germ
life. 1t matters not how cleanly one
may be at milking time, It Is absolutely
impossible to do the work without the
introduction Of certain class Of un-
desirable germs, and the high tempera.
ture makes conditions ideal for the
development Of these forms Of life.
Where there Is plentiful supply Of
ice the problem Is solved, but our
opinion is that less than half the farm
CID put III Ill iSC supply, ou1 a WiieSi
In Homestead. The next best thing,
therefore, Is to make the right use OF
water. With the ordinary shotgun can
Of about eight inch diameter one should
have no difficulty in quickly lowering
the temperature to 55 or 60 degrees.
This cannot always be done with one
water only, 1t being generally advisa-
BILE If 1t is at all possible to change the
water after the first hour. 1t Is true
that II involves a little labor, but as
the principal errors In the making Of
good butter are made right there one
can well afford to take little pains to
Insure this rapid cooling
When milk is suddenly cooled the
growth of all forms of germ life is
checked, so that later on, when the de-
velopment of the tactic germ is de-
sired, this development is not interfere,i
with by undesirable germs.

GOLD AND GILT.
Two Cows That Differed Greatly In
the MAKING of Milk.

Two Cows That Differed Greatly In
the Making Of Milk.
There Is no other or easier way to
ind out the accurate production Of
each COW than to weigh and test the
milk of each separately. At the ILL
nois agricultural experiment station
are two cows, Gold and Gilt, the story
of whose work is well worth telling.
All the milk of these cows has been
weighed and tested for three years. A
record has been kept of every pound
Of feed consumed by each animal. both
summer and winter.
Each year Gold produced on the
average 1880 pounds Of milk con-
tanning 405 pounds of butter fat, but
only 1880 pounds of milk with 1873
pounds of butter fat.
These cows are both cared for in the
same way. They were given the same
kinds of feed and allowed to eat all
they wanted. Gold ate one-half more
than Gilt, but produced nearly three
times as much milk.
Equal amounts of feed made In the
one case 1873 pounds of butter fat and
In the other 100 pounds. The one cow
produced nearly twice as much as the
other from exactly the same feed In
kind and amount.
Counting the butter fat at % cents
per pound and taking out the exact
cost Of feed each case. the one cow
brought in profit Of $34.59. while the
other lacked $500 Of paying for her
board at market prices Of feed each
year. e

THE BOND ISSUE.

THE HERALD today reprints the
petition signed by majority of
the taxpayers asking the city
council to call special election for
the purpose of voting the issuance
of bonds to cover the cost of erect
ing waterworks and an electric
lighting plant for the city of
Brownsville. The petition was sign
ed in good faith by taxpayers
who were tired of asking for the
boon of water for their homes and
whose patience had become ex-
hausted by the years of weary
waiting for franchise holders to
build the proposed improvements.
There is very little doubt about the
active support the majority of the
signers of the petition are giving
the movement for waterworks and
electric lights under the city's own
management. They feel that it is
a duty they owe their city to work
for the success of the move they
have inaugurated for the welfare
of the community. We do not
believe a single signer of that petit
Eion will fail to record his vote on
election day for the bond issue.
They are shrewd enough to see
that the opportunity of getting
waterworks and electric lights is
now here through their sagacity in
petition in the council, and they
will work and vote for it. Rarely
has a city had such a representa-
tive and unanimous petition for
subtle improvement.
