MILKING CHARACTERISTICS
How They Can BE Successfully FIxsA
by Breeding.

It is believed that II two AMI
mails of dissimilar characters are
bred together the offspring will as
sumo the qualities principally Of tho
individual that has dominant char
acter, but the fixed characteristics of
either animal are more or less dis.
turbed and in succeeding generations
almost any graduation and blending of
the cross can be expected. AS mat
ter of fact. when two animals Of good
milking strain are bred together we
generally get an offspring that is quite
superior in milk production to either
of the ancestors. However, this can
not be absolutely relied upon but is
the best way to increase the capacity
for milk production. To perpetuate
the character in succeeding genera
tions this cross may be bred to q
male who has dominant character
for milk production inherited from his
ancestors. If no such strain OF anil
mails is available it is wise to breed
this offspring back to its sire in order
to fix this character. For instance, Q
bull and COW are mated, both from
different strains. The dam and the
sire's dam have the character to pro-
duce 20 pounds of milk per day we'll
established, but these strains for
many generations back are not related
TO each other The offspring from
this cross may only have capacity
Of Is pounds. However. it is more
likely to have the capacity to produce
80 pounds. To fix this character in
succeeding generations 1t would be
wise to breed this offspring back to
its sire, which has but 20 pounds ca.
pacity, while there is possibility of
slightly reducing the capacity Of the
offspring. yet 1t fixes the character
and makes 1t more permanent for
future generations. But II you desire
to run the risk of a still greater in.
crease in milk production 1t would be
well to breed this COW with capacity
of 30 pounds of milk per day to sire
of another strain which has an aver
age capacity of 80 pounds per day.
The closer a strain is related the
more permanent and the more reliable
will be the fixing of that character
for all future generations at 30 pounds
capacity.-Prof Oscar Err.

Cooling the MIX.

A. speaker at Wisconsin institute
said: The main thing is to cool the
milk quickly to temperature of so
degrees or less, and it would pay the
dairyman to provide ice for this pur-
pose. In the absence of ice an abundance
of well water will enable the patron
to quickly cool the milk to temper

cans are placed in cold water and the
milk is stirred until cooled to the tenn
perat,re Of the water. which il usually

The cemetery association was incor-
itself is quarter of century older
and was originally part of farm
owned by Perkins Nichols, who set
aside this old plot of land as family
burial place. When the corporation
was formed the plot was laid out in a
series OF catacombs, constructed of
solid marble. ~ or Is feet under
ground and divided into 157 vaults.
With the city's growth and develop
ment the Nichols farm was botted
out. Green fields were turned into
city blocks, and the burial ground be-
came completely surrounded by tene-
ments and warehouses, whose many
windows, like curious eyes, seemed TO
look down wonderingly into the old
fashioned. secluded place. AS time
passed the cemetery, from various
causes. fell into semi-ruin, the stone
walls crumbled in many places and u
tangle Of bushes and briars hid path
and grass plot from view and made a
melancholy wilderness of this once
cherished garden Of the dead.
A few years ago the question was
agitated as to whether 1t would not be
we'll to remove the bodies. sell the
land and wind up the corporation. A
meeting Of all those representing orr.
ginal vault owners ESQ far as their
names and addresses could be OBJ
tained) was called and the matter de-
bated. 1t became apparent at once
that the majority of those present
were opposed to the abandonment OF
the cemetery.
Quaint and attractive as it now Is,
1t Is destined to become a spot of
great beauty and dignity II those per-
sonally interested contribute suffi-
GENTLY to carry out the scheme 80
artistically planned by Frederick Won
Hoffman, a landscape architect, who is
to direct the work.
One of the curious features Of the
cemetery as 1t is now is the ancient
stone dead house" that stands in one
corner OF the Enclosure. It resembles
a prison cell Of an ancient type rather

modern outgrowth Of those old-fash-

thing satisfactory about bag all OF

pleasant relief from the much decor

everywhere of late.
The best jewelry shops are showing
bead bags In solid colors fitted with
plain gold rims and handles instead
OF the rocco silver ones sparkling
with jewels. with which many women
had genuine old bead worked bags
mounted rather on account Of their
fondness for such ornamentation than
for its appropriateness. The new bead
bags come in oblong and square
shapes. and they are moderately deep.
On the bottom is the twisted even
bead fringe which is the familiar I'm

Turquoise blue. garnet. coral. tan.
mauve and gray bead bags are lovely.
and II they match the costume they
give it smart finish. The fringe Is
made of the same beads. Another no.
ticeable departure from the fashion
established century ago Is in the
quality OF the beads. Those used for
the new bags are sometimes Opaque
And lustrous. The garnet beads have
the old-time sparkle. due to the way
they are cut, while the turquoise ones
possess the look of the real Jewel.

made on bands of pale pink satin

crossing and recrossing to form a

The bands may be any desired
width and the embroidery should be
done in Kensington stitch with the
edges of the design slightly padded
to give raised effect. Wherever
there is turned-over petal 1t should
be heavily padded and worked in satin

A good large well or dairy house is
very necessary to the equipment Of a
flrst-class dairy, but Its use should be
confined to the uses of the dairy. Its
conversion into a sort of store room

worn out harnesses, etc, does not tend
TO produce fine favored milk or slim

Their Uneeasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneyse filter the
blood. They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about 500
grains of impure matter daily, when
unhealthy some part Of this impure
matter Is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp-
toms-pain in the back, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma-
tism, govt, gravel, disorders Of the
eyesight and hearing, drowsiness,
dropsy. deposits in the urine, etc. But
If you keep the filters right you will
