Business Interests Confident.
Mr. Frederick B. de Berard, editor and
statistician Of the Merchants Association
of New York, agrees with Mr.. Bliss in
every respect, and he is in Il position to
know the conditions In all lines of trade.
The Merchants Association of New York

wholesalers. retailers, commercial trav-
elers and other people interested in the
mercantile business. 1t has a member

is to extend the trade of the city. 1t in

HINTS FOR THE COOK.

Select dozen or so of the smooth
est and largest splints from the new
broom and lay them away to use in
testing cake when it is baking.
When cutting bread and butter spe-
cially thin. occasionally dip the knife
in hot water, and never draw the knife
over the same place.
When frying fish of any sort a little
salt should be sprinkled on the base
of the pan when it is hot and the fat
is boiling. The fish can then be easily
turned without being broken.
When cooking chops and steaks in
frying-pan or on a gridiron. never
thrust fork into them in order to
turn them. If you do the juice will
run out and the steak or chop will be
hard or dry.
The dripping from roast meat. the
skimmings from soups, and rendered
down fat from meat trimmings, serve
the same purpose. when clarified thor
oughly as lard or butter. Use beef
drippings for basting beef and game
keep mutton dripping for frying cut
lets, fish. etc.
Too rapid boiling makes most vege-
tables tough. AS a rule vegetables
should be cooked uncovered.
Rice and macaroni require fast boil
ing.
TOO much salt in gravy or soup may
be counteracted by putting in pinch
of brown sugar
When finely chopped nuts are need
ed for salads or sandwiches, run the
nuts through the meat chopper.

KIND OF COWS TO KEEP.
Raise Them Yourself and Be Sure Of
Their MiIk-Givins Capacity.

1t is not sufficient to have certain
number of cows. They should be
adapted to the work-dairy COWS, not
beef animals, that can only produce
sufficient milk to raise a veal calf.
Such COWS are not the most profitable
ones to keep. Aim to raise your own
COWS, then through selection and
breeding the producing capacity of
your herd can be increased.
If you do not feel equal to the ex-
pense, cooperate with your neighbor
and purchase a good dairy sire. The
influence of good sire towards i'm
proving the quality of stock, especial
ly where grades are kept, is very
marked.
Lay your plans for silo at just as
early date as possible. The silo has
come to be recognized as one of the
most important buildings on the dairy
farm.
Care should be taken not to feed
cows food capable of imparting OBJ
jectionable odors or flavors to cream.
Turnips and other strona-aavored
foods can only be fed Immediately
after milking, but it is better not to
feed such foods to dairy cows. It is
not necessary and it is too risky.

DAIRY COWS IN srALLa
Mako Their Fastening az Secure and
Comfortable as Possible.

How difficult 1t is to change thu
opinions and the customs of men IN
anything! There is perhaps no harde,
task than to change the methods b.
which farmers keep their COWS. The
old stanchion is everywhere present
except in the southern part of the
country where COWS are not tied Ut
much. In the cold parts of the coun
try the old rigid stanchion is tho most
convenient method for fastening cows
and 1t is used. 1t Is convenient 70,
the owner of the COWS, but not for the
cows.
A good many people have beer
working on the problem Of obtaining
method of fastening cows that would
be all strong parts and no weak parts
Such method has not been discov
cred and will not be. Every plan has
its drawbacks. The first thing to BIZ
considered is the comfort of the cows
for it is evident that any plan tina,
does not look to the comfort of the
cows fails in the first essential.
We have now great many pat
stalls appearing on the market, and
in different parts Of the country many
kinds of stalls that are not patented
bear close resemblance to those
that are At most of our dairy show
new ideas in COW stalls are brought
out to the public view, and most OF
them have in them much merit.
We notice that nearly all of these
plans contemplate the partial free
dom Of the COW, at least SO far as heI
head and neck are concerned, saya
the Farmers Review Another point
that all provide for is that the COW ba
kept clean at all times, so that the
least possible amount of cleaning may
be required. The third point that ii
made much of is the security of the
COW, appliances being such that the
cow cannot get loose in the night and
injure other COWS. This is a matter
of a great deal Of Importance, and this
was one of the chief virtues of the
old rigid stanchion. 1t might make
the COW uncomfortable. but it would
not let her loose at any time of ths
day or night. The new kinds OF
stanchions provide for this security
and also make the COW comfortable.
Every farmer should seriously CON
