WHAT is youR COW WORTH
Take Time to Figure Out Her Value
to You.

We wish we could get every farmer
and every farmers son to take a day
off and figure out what his COW is
worth. That, Of course, depends on
what you have in view in keeping
her, what work ynp expect her to do.
If you are milking her and she gives
140 pounds or less of butter fat, 1t IS
very easy to determine what she Is
worth for that purpose. On lands in
the corn belt 1t will cost from $2S to
S35 to keep COW during the year. If
she does not give more than that value
In butter fat, then for daily purposes
she is not worth nickel. We give
the cost as above, because we notice
that in the COW censuses that have
been taken that is the estimated price
given by their keepers.
A COW not worth a nickel for dairy
purposes had best be allowed to raise
whether that calf at weaving time will
be worth $50. Ordinarily 1t will be
worth from $40 to SIS. Therefore the
question whether 1t pays to keep an
average COW for the chance of an
average calf on lands in the corn belt
is easily determined.
Suppose, however, she gives 200
pounds of butter fat and 1t is worth
one year with another 20 cents a
pound. Then your COW is making you
profit in butter fat Of about ten
dollars year and giving you a calf,
which, after deductiuS tho cost of
feeding ii until it il six months old,
IL worth $40 TO $12. Then yea have
the skim-mifk, say 1000 pounds, worth
from Is to 20 cents per 100 pounds, de-
pending on tho price of corn, or from
six to ten dollars. You will have the
manure, which if properly cared for is
worth six dollars year. If your COW
gives a still larger amount of butter
fat than this you can very easily esti-
mate the profit.
What we are aiming at now, says
Wallace's Farmer, is to get farmers
to thinking about this question:
What is your COW worth? How are
YOU to find out? Why, there is only
one way; and that is to take time to
weigh the milk often enough to de-
termine how much each COW gives
during the year, and then test it often
enough to determine the actual amount
of butter fat each gives. If we can
only get you to do this the rest will
be easy, but until farmers who are
pretending to dairy at all take this
matter up and determine what the COW
is worth it is useless to expect any
great improvement in the dairy busi-
ness.

CHARACTER IN THE HAT.
Some Things to eear in Mind When
Making a Selection.

When ii comes to determining the
size Of hat, rs width and breadth,
there is consideration which is gen
orally ignored by milliners and buy
ers. Ii is essential to remember that
a hat is not worn merely above the
head, but above the entire height, and
peculiarities of the figure should infiu-
ence US in our choice. For this reason
ii is imperative that in buying a hat
one should stand before pier glass
which reflects the entire length. Now,
supposing you are large, with broad
hips and shoulders. You need a quite
different hat from a woman who has
your height without your bulk.
To make your shoulders less broad
the crown Of your hat should be fair
ly high, and the brim should be toll
erably broad also to coun.erbalance
the hips.
A proportionately slender woman
under this same hat would look de-
cidedly meager. This is single illus
tration of what | mean, but if you
bear it in mind it will keep you from
wearing on your head an object which,
while becoming to your face, COM
pared with your general size dwindles
10 absurdly small dimensions, or con-
tinuing other equally common errors

gates are closed at the proper time
considerable disturbance can be
avertod. have seen various kinds Of
gates used, but the one pictured is by
far the best.
Instead of swinging upward and be-
ing hooked to the ceiling or ioist
overhead as some do, 1t slides back
and forth upon length of gas pipe
serving as track, by means of iron
straps attached to the long pieces that
compose the outer ends of the gate.
The gas pipe should be at least two
inches through and in length twice the
width of the gate. The gate should
be made to fit the place where needed
end can be constructed of any strong
light lumber.
If the feed room is in easy reach Of
the stable, says Farm and Home, the
alley leading to 1t should by all means
be protected by one or these gates.
In case of a COW getting loose in the
night as cows frequently will, 1t
might be the means of saving her life
from eating too much grain.

Many soutache STYLES.

The great variety of designs OBJ
tanned in soutache braid:ng is one Of
the remarkable things about this sea-
sons fashions. There is no er-l to
the designs that have hesn evolved
by dressmakers, and mu, n of the dis
tinction and even the becomingness of
a garment depend on the style of
braiding. 1t is also a Eos.. of pride
with women to whom dress is a very
important matter to secure new de-
signs only and to leave the hack
neyed ones for their less fortunate
sisters who have neither the money
nor the time for the pursuit of the nov
elites of fashion.

Type In Dairy Breeding.

Every breeder of dairy cows should
have in his mind an ideal type towards
which he should be constantly NOV.
ing Most dairy breeding is done with
out reference to any type. Any kind
of COW is bred to any kind of bull.
and the result is any kind of type
of calf. We will never get good dairy
COWS of uniform type until breeders
become more particular as to the kind
of dairy cows they intend to raise.
When type is paid more attention to,
the best bulls and the cows of the
best type will sell at fancy prices for
breeders. There is at the present time
a movement in that direction.

Bloody MIX.

With bloody milk, 1t is a good plan
in cases of this sort to milk the COW
before the udder becomes too full of
milk or too distended. Do this even
II 1t is necessary TO milk three or four
times a day. 1t is also recommended
to give internally tablespoonful of a
mixture of powdered sulphate of iron,
four ounces; grsnulated sugar. one
pound; mix these well together and
give one tablespoonful of the mixture
once day. II the udder seems to be
much inflamed bathe it with warm

Mend Silk.

A good way of mending a wooden
or silk dress in which a round hole
has been torn, and where only patch
could remedy matters, is this: The
frayed portions around the tear should
be carefully smoothed and a piece of
material moistened with thin mu-
cilage placed under the hole. A
heavy weight should be put upon it
until it is dry, when it is only pos
sible to discover the mended place by
careful observation.

Clifford in the title role opened to a
big house at the Camden Theatre
last night. At the conclusion Of the
play it was generally conceded that
it is the best play seer in this city at

owe Are King' is a bright come
dy and was used by Mr.. Walker
Whitesidc for three seasons as a

has Il the kingdom into debt AMI
ground down his subjects. Gusta-
vus Vcnncr, correspondent for the

minister Of Hamburg and his fol-
lowers VINO are plotting to rid the
kingdom Of Hector, are so impressed
with Venncr's marvellous resemblance
to the King, they induce Vcnncr to
impcrsonatc the King who is away on
a secret mission. Venncr, under The
impression that he is rendering the
King and the court a favor, and see
ing "good copy' in sight, consents.
