Dairying now is too big a business to
be turned over to the women folks. One
or two COWS won't make a dairy. It
will make a start, but enough cows
should be kept to get up some interest.
We like to crowd things nowadays. So
with dairying. Go into 1t, as If it was
your whole business. Study and de-
velop. Then it will pay.

One of the best buttermakers in the
country says dairymen do not pay
enough attention to cleanliness. Every
thing should be kept as clean as clean
can be. Cream that is not kept in nice
condition right UP to the time it is de-
livered at the factory, cannot be made
into GOOD butter.

February ard March are hard
months on the mich cows. The winds
ere piercing, n often snow or sleet
catches the cows out in the fields.
Exposure of this kind always tells in
the flow Of milk. The best way TO
handle the COWS is to let them out
say for two or three hours, during
the sunny part Of the day.

There is such a thing as a good and
poor ration. 1t is best to feed as much
as possible of our home grown stuff,
but one should know how best to com
bine these to give a well balanced ra-
ton. In fact the years profits will
depend largely upon how well the food
is handled.

Try to keep the temperature of the
GOV stables uniform, and do not throw
doors and windows wide open, when
the cows are in their stalls. A dairy
man reports hat a difference of IL de,
grees, in the temperature of his barns
made a shrinkage Of 3h per cent. in
the milk.

A Minnesota farmer says during the
year 1905 he sold his whole milk to the
creamery. Milking the same cows dur
ing 1906, he separated his milk at home,
using a hand machine, selling only the
cream. His receipts for 1906 were near
ly one-third more han the year pre-
yious.

One who knows says never allow the
calf to suck The sooner you can teach
it that it must drink or starve. the
better it will be for both yourself and
calf. A hot headed man or boy has
no business teaching calves. The calf
is about the s;tubbornest thing you ever
tried to make look into a pail; don't
force it, coax it.

Dairy form is all right. but the best

Sometimes accidents will happen In
h dairy. I have known Of such a
thing as a COW sticking her foot into a
pail of milk. Don't try to strain out
dirt from the milk. If it gets in, bet
ter feed the milk to the pigs, wash out
the pail. and go ahead.

DID you ever notice q good mich CIV
stroll over the pastures as leisurely as
IL she had no thought Of anything ex-
cept turning her feed into milk? A COW
never hurries or becomes excited, I'M
less forced to it, and the quiet, slow
moving COW is the one that does the
business at the milk pail. Take the
hint. Keep the cow quiet, don't dog
them or chase them, or swear at them.

That's good. Keep them in light, dr..
quarters, and the job will be still

Rotation of crops without some
thought as to the condition in which
each crop leaves the ground. and the
requirements of the crop which is to
follow, is all guess work. and you are
just as liable to guess wrong as right.
Each crop should supplement the one
following, the entire rotation tending
to build up the soil.

Some swine raisers find it profitable
to sell their pigs when about six weeks
old Feeders are willing to pay SO to
81 each for these thrifty pigs, and sows
which will raise six or eight good pigs

advantage Of this system is the risk Of
disease is practically nothing, for dis
ease eldom develops While pigs are
sucking.

of straining or separation will rid the
milk of this flavor. The only thine
to do is to keep it out.

Now is the time to test the seed corn
Most my of the methods of testing will
be all right, II seed is in fair condition.
But If a low percentage is obtained or
the termination is weak, better make

test IS per cent. or above, may safely
be planted, If properly cared for till

A handy arrangement on all farms
may be made from three two by skies
or poles about sixteen feet long rugged
like a well digger's tripod and windlass,
or a pulley, or pair of them may be
used to do the hosting. This may be
used for butchering and for many other
Jobs. A ops and pair of pulleys are
very convenient farm tools and those
having them would not do without.
We cannot have all the handy things
we would like, some Of us, but there is
such q thing as doing with too few.

USE FOR OLD sHIRTWAisTs.
Discarded Garments May Be Utilized
in Many Ways.

Discarded white shiTtwaists are not
the useless articles they first appear.
One with pretty front may be cut out
In neck and arms for a corset cover.
A child's guimpe or a lady's chemi-
sette may also be cut from the nor
tions of handsome waists, while turn
over collars are easily obtained from
embroidered fronts. The edges are
bound around with bias folds or mar
row braid. A plain shirtwaist forms a
good foundation for a chemisette of
sheer material, as it aids in holding
that decidedly inclined to wander ar
ucle in place. The sleeves and neck
are cut out the armholes bound. and

DIET FOR INVALID
DISHES THAT ARE BOTH NoUR-
ISHlNG AND TEMPTING.
Hot Weather Is Period Most Trvinu
Both for Invalid and Nurse
Cold Broth Sometimes Bet
ter Than Hot.

The chronic invalid OF convaIescent
IS particularly an object Of pity in mid
summer. The appetite is less can
tious in cold weather than in hot. and
unfortunately for the housewife is less
inclined TO put forth special effort at
the very time when the invalid is most
exacting. As the convalescence or
comfort of the ailing member of the
household depends 50 much upon the
diet, the effort to supply food at once
nOurishing and appetizing must be
sustained. Daintiness is extremely i'm
poTtant in serving food for an invalid
Thin, undecorated china and glass
ware, a liberal use of the inexpensive
paper doyleys. and garnishings Of
fresh parsley, cress and slivers of
lemon will help along the good work
or tickling the jaded appetite.
Bread, the stan of life, is always a
problem in serving the invalid. When
toast pals, try pulled bread for
change. This can be made in connec-
ton with your regular baking day.

IN strips six or seven inches long and
an inch, or an inch and a half in width
and thickness. Line a large baking
pan with brown paper and arrange
the strips of bread on this, rough and
cr1nkled edges uppermost. Set in the
oven with the door partly open until
it dries out thoroughly, then close the
door undl the bread turns a golden
brown Warm each time before gerv-
Ing. This is much like ZWeibeck, but
Its odd shape appeals to the invalid.

ishment try them ice cold instead of |

just the same and, if properly sea-
soned, iced broths are just as good for

Who Got the Baby?

If you can tell who got the baby:
,a Once upon a time when all living
animals could talk. together and un-
derstand each other an ugly old
crocodile stole a tiny baby and was
about to make a dinner of it, but
the. poor, frantic mother begged SO
piteously for her child that the
crocodile said:,
y 'Tell me one truth and you shall
have your baby again"
'eYou will not give him back to
me-" she replied.
"Then by our agreement I keep
him." said the crocodile, "for if you
have told the truth I am not going
to give him back, and if it is a lie /
have also won"
But the mother said, '1f I told
you the truth you are bound by your
promise, and if it is not the truth
it will not be lie until you have
given me my child"

THE MOUND BUILDERS.
Their Burial Customs Prevailed Until
the Whites Came.

Mound builders of the Mississippi
valley in the manner of burial OF
their dead were in close touch with
those of the valley Of the Ohio and
had something in commoA with
them. embracing the ideals display
ed in the ancestor worship OF the
orienta! as well as antedating the
custom of setting a granite shaft as
a mark of respect over the graves OF
our departed az the present time
Formerly mound builders were
supposed 10 have become an extinct
race. occupying the territory IN
which these numerous barial
mounds are tcuEd prior TO its occl-
pancv hy the North American n
dians. bat in the light of more re-
cent and MOT, thorough inyestiga-
tion., writes. IficharG Hermann in
Records of tie Past" 1t has been
shown that b.r;&r OF. the dead IN
mounds has been 'practiced by le.
MuSkawakies of the # oxeS, who> oe-
cupied the territory up to and IN
Guiding some of the time when the
first white people settled in the up
per Mississippi valley. a.,
The former erroneous supposition
came about principally through the
uncommunicativeness of the Indian.
When questioned concerning the
mounds and their contents he would
invariably act the stole, for accord
ing to his ideas of ancestor worship
the subject was held sacred and was
not to be touched upon, nor were
any of the belongings which had
been buried with him ever in any
manner to be used again by any liv-
ing man. For this reason when
shown flint arrow or spear heads
they would profess ignorance and
insist that they were there before
the arrival of the Indian.
The conical mounds, Mr.. Her
mann states, are generally individ-
ual or family burying mounds. The
earth, sand or other material is car
ried there by members of the tribe
or the nearest of kin and filled
around the body. Apparently the
farther the earth, sand or material
of which the mound is being built is
brought or the more laborious the
work of carrying it to the place of
interment the higher the respect
paid to the dead. And in this re-
spect they do not differ materially
from white people. We would dis
dain to erect over a grave in the

shaft shipped from Vermont OF

tance and at as great an expense.

NAILS AND MAILING.
They Figure In Speech as Well as ~
Trade and Building.

TO tail a thing is to fix or fasten
with a nail or nails; to drive nails
INTO for the purpose of fastening OF
securing, such as to nail up a box,
to nail shelf to the wall, to nail
down the matches, etc.; to stud with

prompt action. 1t was Burns who
said:
Evn ministers. they haze been ken'd.
In holy rapture,
A rousing whid at times to vend
An nail t wi Scripture.
Passing into the colloquial, to
"nail to the counter" is to put a
counterfeit coin out of circulation
by fastening it with a nail to the
counter of a shop; hence, fgurative-
ly, to expose as false.
Other definitions referring to the
nail are: Mailer, one who nails, who
makes nails or who sells them,
while female nailmaker is referred
to by Hugh Miller as naileress.: A
nailery is described as an establish
ment where nails are made. A nail
head is the head Of a nail, and any
thing is said to be nail headed when
90 shaped as to resemble the head
Of q nail.
A mailing machine is one for fore
ing or driving nails into place; in
carpentry, feeding tube for the

reciprocating hammer; in shoemak-
ing, a power machine closely allied
to the shoe pegger, used, to drive
small metallic nails or brads into
the soles of shoes.
:. The nail machine is a power ma
chine for making nails, spikes, brads
or tacks.
A nailmaker is one who makes
nails; a mailer, person connected
in any capacity in the manufacture
Of nails.
A nail plate is a plate of metal
rolled to the proper thickness for

nail machine, as distinguished from
a wrought or forged nail.
"On the nail" means on the spot,
at once, Immediately, without de-
lay or postponement, as, to pay
money on the nail. This phrase is
said to have originated from the
custom of making payments, in the
exchange at Bristol, England, and
elsewhere, on the top of q pillar
called "he nail"
