WATERING COWS.
Care in the Quality of Water Provided
Is important.

The best arrangements for the
watering of dairy cows | consider to
be individual basins between the cows
in the winter time and running water
in the summer time. In the winter,
says the writer in Farmers Review, l
water my COWS out of doors, but that
is because | do as l have to do and
not as l want to do. Most OF the
farmers about here water their COWS
out of doors.
Where water is supplied at all IN
the barns, the force that drives the
water comes from tanks of windmill3
or from hydraulic rams. The troughs
OF cement seen in some barns, and
which run in front of all the cows, ]
believe to be all right, but l prefer
the individual basins.
Most of the cows about here get
their water at the temperature it hap.
pens to be when it comes from the
well. but in the winter time it would
pay to warm It. l am satisfied that
a COW that is given water with the
chill taken off will drink more OF 1T
and will consequently give more milk
than she otherwise would.

Hicks, who was still absently and de-
jectedly trying to light the cigarette
on his trousers.
When Hortense (now Mrs. John
Stanwood Hastings, of Brookline) saw
Hicks, she stopped short and, leaning
over him, cried impulsive1y:
Il haven't half thanked you for all
you did for me, nor can | ever. Your
car was really the only way in which
we could have been sure that pursuit
would have been unavailing, you
know Jack and I are ever and ever
so grateful to you, and always will be.
Won't we, Jack?" and she smiled up
at Hastings in way that made Monty
and l groan and green with envy.
But poor Hicks seemed beyond hui
man aid. He looked up at her with
blinking, sheeplike eyes and blurted
out:
But l thought you were going to
marry met"
Mrs. John Stanwood Hastings looked
completely kerfiummuxed elf anyone
as beautiful as she can look like that.
You said that we were going to
elope and asked me if would have
the car ready at half-past SEVEN" con
tinued Hicks in the tone and manner
of a man who has been awakened
from a beautiful and roseate dream
by having the bed give away.
Hortense looked down ON him,
"a
light in her dark eyes.
I'm so sorry" she cried, softly, $50
sorry! When | said we I meant of
course Jack and myself. l didn't ex-
plain very fully, perhaps, for l was
hurried and nervous and then, too,
you would think that l meant you'll
didn't think that you had ever thought
of such thing, or desired it,
Monty and l stood silently watch
ing the rattly old depot wagon-car-
riage disappear into the darkness of
the quiet. systematically lighted street
Then Monty sighed. Then 1 sighed
Then we both sighed together. And
we meant 'em, too.
we tried to adduce some comfort
from the fact that there was but one
Hortense, and two of us; so, signing
again, we went to where Hicks was still
sitting and, taking the match from his
mouth and the cigarette from his
hand, shook him couple of times.
"Eh-what?" He gazed up at US
with lack-luster eyes in which at
length began to appear a faint CLEAN
of almost human intelligence. And,
as we bundled his lank frame into his
lank car he murmured helplessly,
wonderingly:
And to think that she took him
when she might have had mel"
And-oh, but what's the use?

eczema of very bad form. He treated
her, but the disease spread to her back,

affected, and all her hair had to be cut
off, The pain she suffered was excru-
ciating, and with that and the heat
and tingling her life was almost I'M
bearable. Occasionally she was deliri-
GUS and she did not have proper hours
sleep for many nights. The second
doctor we tried afforded her just as
little relief as the first. Then I pur-
chased Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and

MILKING CHARACTERISTICS.
How They Can Be Successfully Fixed
by Breeding.

1t is believed that if two ami
mails OF dissimilar characters are
bred together the offspring will as
sumo the qualities principally Of the
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
or 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
lions this cross may be bred to
male who has a dominant character
for milk production inherited from his
ancestors If no such strain OF ami
mails is available it is wise to breed
this offspring back to it's sire in order
to fix this character. For instance, a
bull and a COW are mated both from
different strains. The dam and the
S1re'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 15 pounds. However, it is more
likely to have the capacity to produce
30 pounds. To fix this character in
succeeding generations it 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 it fixes the character
and makes it more permanent for
future generations. But if you desire
to run the risk of a still greater in.
crease in milk production it would be
we'll 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 tho
more permanent and the more reliable
will be the fixing of that character
for all future generations at 80 pounds
capacity.-Prof. Oscar Err.

Beans for Green Manure.

We know of one farmer that planted
beans too early, and the late frost
caught them, killing the whole crop.
He planted again, but this time so
thick that the pods did not form till
an early fall frost caught them, and so
the whole crop was lost. But the
growth of the beans had been very
rank one, and the weeds had been kept
from growing. The mass of rank
heritage was plowed under and the
land left to be planted the next year.
The plowed-under beans proved to be
great enrichers of the soil, for they
added to it a very large quantity Of
nitrogen, in addition to the humus.
This in its decay created acids which
set loose more plant food in the soil,
So the bean crop was not total loss.
after all.
