Have a Good Dairy Herd,

No matter how small the dairy herd
of the farm is, the farmer should take
pride in having II good herd. In
some of our western states the aver.
age number OF milch cows on farms is
only two, three or four. But II these
are all good cows, the returns to the
farmer In series Of years will amount
to good deal. Many that own poor
cows do not stop to figure out what
they lose from having them. One
thing they lose Of which they never
take an account and that is the profit
on a good cow that could be kept In
place of the COW that pays nothing or
worse. Thus the COW that Just pays
her war and nothing else is in the
place OF a cow that might pay $50 per
year or more. That possible profit is
part of the loss. and in ten years it
amounts to $500.

Deshler the homestead passed into

pAIRYINo WITH A SEPARATOR
II Makes the Work Much Easier and
Gets Moro Cream.

| have just had my first experience
with a cream separator, writes
woman correspondent of Farm and
Home. At first, or until had some
experience In washing and taking
care OF II as It should be, thought
that It made more work than in the
setting of cans of milk in cold water,
but since using II for four weeks,
find II Ii Just the thing.
II one wishes to patronize the
creamery, It is much better to have
the separator cream to sell. One must
always cool the new separated cream
before putting 1t with other cream.
II should always be churned at q
lower temperature than the skinned
cream. l think that So degrees is
about right for summer weather.
II butter Is not OF the right color
It does no harm to use a good butter
color. White butter never looks SO
nice as yellow butter. even though It
tastes Just as good. When one
wishes to pack butter to keep for
some time. 1t Is best to put In a new
jar, and after II Is packed and tied up,
turn the jar bottom side up in q good
cool, dry place.

An Illinois reader has some cows

they should eat. We would have some
oats and corn ground into chop and
offer them this and, II they refuse,
turn them into the pasture and let
them make their gains on the pasture
ration. Gains on pasture are usually
the cheapest of all gains and 1t will
mean more money in this questioner's
purse than to feed grain.

CHANGE Pasture In Midsummer.

The pastures at time of the cattle
being turned into them are generally
good. Very little grain should be fed
to cattle after they are turned into
the pastures. In midsummer, when
the pastures become short, the best
method is to change pasture.

Hanging as a Sport.

We would not deny the gravity Of
death. II is quite serious matter
even to those of us who, while con-
scious Of, or at least admitting, no
really sinful performances in the past,
would nevertheless, if pressed. con-
fess to certain minor iu'iiscretiOns
which we would be only too willing to
join with the Lord in forgetting. New
ertheless, if form or ceremony or gem
eral interest be considered the critic
rion, dying is one Of the most popular
things one can do. Nobody goes to
see man born, but the entire commu-
nifty turns out to see him buried. In
deed it is we'll known that many peO-
pie, perhaps a majority, derive actual
enjoyment from beholding with their
own eyes life flicker out Of persons
body. The almost universal satisfac-
ton found from time immemorial in
witnessing a hanging we can under
stand. The event is more spectacular
and less expensive than circus, pos
sesses grisly human interest to dis
tinctive degree, is presumably grimly
just and, in any case, is unpreventa
bic. II the hanging is to take place
why shouldn't we see it? That
is the reasoning. and it seems good
enough if one cares for that variety
of sport. = George Harvey in North
American Review.
