THEORY GENERALLY ACCEPTED
AND SUCCESS IS UNIVERSAL,

l.. T. Cooper, whose theory that
the human stomach Is the cause of
most i'll health and who created a
furore in Chicago, st. Louis and other
western cities, is meeting with the
same remarkable success with his
medicine throughout the east. Cooper
has convinced an immense number Of
people that his theory Is sound and
his medicine will do what he claims.
Perhaps the most Interesting fea-
lures Of the discussion this young
man Is causing, are the statements
made by responsible people who have
taken his medicines and have become
enthusiastic converts to his beliefs.

ter, the following, by Mr.. August

HOW TO KEEP JUICE IN A PIE.

Any one who has ever had the juice
from an apple. rhubarb or other pie
run all out into the over while baking
knows how annoying it is. have
overcome the difficulty by taking a
strip of clean white cloth, about an
inch wide and long enough TO lap
when put around the edge OF the pie
plate, wringing it out OF hot water,
doubling together lengthwisc, and PIN
ming tight around the edge OF the
plate. When the pie is baked, take
off this rim, and YOU will find the
juice in the pie instead Of in the

sTRIPPlNes.

Some dairy stables are free board
ing houses.
The proof of the butter is the smell
of the churn.
Better COWS, better feed, better care
of milk make sure better profits.
Light. pure air and cleanliness are
the three cardinal needs of the dairy
stable.
If a COW is to be kept clean the
stall where she stands must not be
too wide.
1t is more profitable to have four
cows of great producing power than
to have eight COWS of ordinary pro-
ducing power.
The best way that l have found to
keen cream without ice in summer is
to dig a hole 70 feet deep and foul feet
square near the separator house. AS
soon as cream is separated put it in a
bucket with tight lid and hang it in
the hole.
In a test between hand and machine
milking the machine won out They
stripped the COWS cleaner than when
MIXED by hand. One man can care
for five machines and with them milk
a herd of ten cows in about o~ne-fourth
of the time required to do it by hand.

Th. Profitable Cow.

It is often urged that the average
farmer should have a COW that can
give milk proftably and whose steers
will make profitable beef animals Inc
average production of the COWS OF
Wisconsin is about 100 pounds OF out
ter per year per COW; then VIII not
the average COW of the average farm
er fail to make any profit in butter
production, and observation teaches us
that there is no profit in raising the
steers from those cows. Is it not bet
ter TO have a COW that can do one
thing at a profit than it is to have one
that can do two things at a loss? And
the breeding of dairy COWS with the
milking function highly developed and
capable of perpetuating that function
in their offspring, is sufficiently dith'
cult. without being handicapped by
irving to breed the opposite or beefng
temperament in the same animal.-E'

MANS LACK OF CALAMITY.
Or, as You May Look at 1t, Woman's
Unreasonableness.

H. ]. Conway, of Chicago, president
of the Retail Clerks International
union, advocated at the recent conyen-
ton in st. Louis the same pay for
women as for men clerks.
when women said Mr.. Conway
a~fterward, do the same work as men
they should get the same wages. And
anyone who argues that this is i'm
possible seems to me at once as un-
gallant and as illogical as the famous
husband of Paint Rock.
"This husband was returning home
from market late n Saturday night
with his wife. The wife vas burdened
with a huge market basket, a broom.
a kit of mackerel-dear knows what
all. AS for the man, he carried moth

Coming to a steep hill, the wife
paused and said reproachfully:

scorn.

GOOD PICKLE OF TOMATOES.
Can Be Made of the Green or Ripe Va
riety, as Desired.

While tomatoes are procurable, a
very good pickle may be made from
the recipe Of an old New England
h~ousekeeper.
Chop one peck of green tomatoes
and arrange them in layers in a stone
crock, sprinkling each layer with salt,
using in all not more than a cup of
salt; let them stand over night, and
in the morning strain away the liquor
and add to them about two quarts of
vinegar, to which has been added a
tablespoonful each of cloves, CHINA
mon, ginger, and ~allspice, and six
chopped green peppers, the seeds and
white pulp having been removed
Bring the whole pulp to a boil, then
simmer slowly for four or five hours
adding, a few minutes before it is
done, two and a half pounds of brown
sugar.
Quite a different result may be OBJ
tanned by substituting ripe tomatoes
for the green. In consistency, it viii
be a little thicker and a little roughel
than the ordinary tomato catsup.

GAReET.
An Ailment Of Cows at caIving Time
and How to Treat 1t.

Garget or caked udder is quite a
common trouble which occurs usually
Just before or just after calving. The
udder becomes hard and the glands
are enlarged and feverish. There r
usually no bad consequences from the
trouble unless it is neglected. 1t is
caused by a large supply of milk re-
naming in the udder and is some
times aggravated by n~eglecting to
milk out or by the COW standing in a
draft of cold air. In cases of this
kind it is not well to milk the COW
out clean as the irritation caused by
milking makes matters worse. The
best procedure is to only partially
empty the udder and then reduce the
inflammation with a fermentation of
warm water. The mere sucking of a
hungry calf and the working of the
teats will sometimes help. 1t is also
well to rub the affected parts well
with the palm of the hand after each
milking and rub in a little camphor.
ated ointment or some unsalted lard
or oily substance. 1t takes several
days to get rid of the trouble.

RECIPE FOR CHILL SAUCE.
Better Than Any Variety to Be Found
in the Stores.

A chilli sauce is made by a western
nousekeeper, which will be found
much better than any ready-made va.
riety to be had in the shops.
Chop fine six large green peppers
from which the seeds and white pulp
have been removed, and four large
onions. Cut into small pieces "a large
ripe tomatoes. Put them together in a
Kettle, mix thoroughly, and add three
ta~blespoonfuls of salt, eight table

WHAT MILK COSTS.
Result Of Tests by the Cornell Uni.
Versity Experiment Station.

In a years observation and record
keeping with the dairy COWS, their
feed, etc., Cornell university finds the
cost of producing milk as follows:
1st. With a fairly good herd, care.
fully fed and kept, milk can be pro-
duced for 65 cents a hundred pounds,
and fat for 16 cents a pound for the
lost of the food consumed.
I'd. That individuals of the same
breed vary more widely in milk and
butter production than do the breeds
themselves.
Sd. The large animals consumed
less pounds of dry material per 1000
pounds live weight a day than did the
smaller animals.
4th. That in general the best yields
of fat were obtained from cows that
gave at least a fairly large flow OF
milk.
5th. In general, the COWS consum'
ing the most food produced both milk
and fat at the lowest rate.
9th. For the production of mill
and fat there is no food as cheap as
good pasture grass.

To Clean Furs.

Ermine, white fox and all other
light furs that have been packed away
during the summer months should be
cleaned before putting them on to
wear. Sawdust and plaster of paris
should be mixed half and half, heated
until blood warm, and then rubbed int
the skins several times. Then put the
fur out of doors to air. With darker
furs use bran. Divide a pound of bran
into two portions and place n in the
oven to heat. Spread the fur on a pa
per on the table and rub it we'll over
with the cold bran. Shake out the bran
and brush the fur with a soft hat
brush. Then rub the hot bran in the
fur evenly. Then shake it and brush it
until the fur is free from both dust
and bran.

Care of House Plants.

Don't be afraid to scrub the plants
brought in for the winter. With a
brush, water, soap and an infusion of
tobacco every leaf and stem should
be scrubbed to remove insects. The
bathroom spray is excellent to use in
rinsing, which should be thorough. A
frequent drenching and occasional
meals of flower food will make up to
the plants for the loss of outdoor life
and they will repay with vigorous
growth and bloom during the winter
months.
