company used its influence to have the

to accept the principle of natural mo-

Spraying for Curl Lesf.

A very important complication must
be considered in spraying for blight
control. This is the occurrence of an.
other peach disease, the curl leaf. Tie
effects Of this trouble are too we'll
known in California to need descrip-
ton. The control of the disease is very
successfully accomplished by spraying
in February OF March, just before the
buds unfold, but a time which is toe
late for blight prevention.

attack OF curl leaf occurred, especially

The result of this attack is plainly

that the November or December appli-

later were protected from curl leaf.

NnIue of 4 Good Cow.

What are the cOwS worth that pro-
duce 400 pounds of butter per annum ?
Here | am going to make a statement
and undertake TO prove 1t correct, says
a writer in Successful Farming. When
a cow that produces 200 pounds of but
ter per annum at a food cost of $50 and
Il labor cost of $3.50 is worth $50, the
cow that produces 400 pounds of butter
annually is worth $500, and the owner
can make net SIC more from her after
paying interest ON the $500 than he can
from the COWS that produce 200 pounds
of butter. There is no more labor con-
nected with the 400-pound COWS than
there is with the 200-pound COWS. The
price at which butter has been credit
ed, namely, 20 cents a pound, is the net
price from the creamery after the MAX
ing has been paid for. In this herd the
increased cost of feed for tie 400
pound COWS was more than Offset by
The increased amount of skim milk, so
we have the 200 pounds increase of but
ter as net profit over the 2O0-pound
cow. Two hundred pounds of butter at
20 cents Is $40. We have 500 invested
in these COWS. which at 6 per cent in
terest is S24, which we will deduct
from the $40. and we have left sic to
tie credit OF the 40O-pound cow.

PondcrOsa Lemon.

The Pcnderosa lemon may be grown
indoors. as any house plant, and ven
when not in bloom it is very handsome
AID pleasing with its large very dark
green foliage. says n writer in Floral
Life. The leaves have a delicious fra
GRANGE and are glossy, rather thick
and also somewhat leathery in char
acter. The pure waxy white flowers
are ~strikingly beautiful and have a
most agreeable fragrance. The flow
ers are about the size of those of the
tuberose.
The plant Is all the more attractive
because it is an ever bearer. 1t is
nothing unusual to find on the same
plant both blossoms and fruit in all
the various stages of growth. There
may be seen fruit of all sizes, from
the small pea sized lemon just started
to the large yellow, juicy lemon just
ready to drop from the tree or plant
and enter into some of the delicious
creations the good housewife knows
how to make. These lemons are GER
tainly the largest and are said to be
the juciest ever known and also to
su-pass all others used for household
purposes. Their flavor is richer. more
delicious and pleasing than the ordi-
nary lemon.

Care OF Cow and Milk.

1t In strange how little the matter
Of cleanliness OF the dairy cow has i'm
pressed itself Upon the owner. He will
curry End rub his horse daily and feel
that he is much the loser If he fails
in this. How much more reason Is
there in thus caring for the horse than
for exercising similar care for the
COW? The fact is, that if preference
is shown for either, ii should be for the
COW. Everybody wants to feel that
milk and butter provided for the table
has been scrupulously guarded against
anything and everything unciean and
obnoxious to the most fastidious taste.
If the dairy COW is daily curried and
rubbed off and kept sleek and nice, the
owner can always find a ready demand
for her milk II butter at q good
price. Besides, the cows health will
be improved materially. Her market
value will be enhanced, also should
her owner wish to exchange her for
cash.
In cold weather the temperature of
the cream for churning must be pro-
~portlonately higher. The room to
churn In should be warm. If cold.
the cream will cool too rapidly and
this will render 1t next to impossible
to make a first-class quality of but
ter. In warming cream never make
it too hot, as the butter will unavoid-
ably be soft and badly favored. The
best plan for warming the cream is to
set the container in warm water. stir
ring the cream constantly or fill a
covered pail with hot water and swing
it round in the cream until 1t comes
to the right temperature. Another
thing to be considered concerns the
quantity OF cream in the churn. If
the churn is too full 1t will be next
to impossible to succeed in making good
butter. The cIeam simply slides gent
ly and smoothly around in the churn
without making the fat giobules break
up and get together and form butter
granules. 1t needs to be splashed and
plunged about in the churn The
churn half filled Is about right. Two
thirds full could be churned, but IL
would require too much time.

The Crafty Brother.

blessing. How shall l allot them?"

thy blessing, for it may reform me.
The camels should be sure to sell and
squander the money"
The elder, Disgusting his joy, said
that he would try to be content with
the camels and n pious mind. 1t was
so arranged, and the man died. Then
the wicked younger son went before
the cadi and said: Behold, my broth
err has defrauded me of my lawful her
itage. He is so bad that our father. as
is well known. denied him his blessing.

again from dairy to beef when beef

is constantly shifting from n breed to
