THE DAIRY BUSINESS.
Four Important Factors in Develop
 nent of Industry.

It is well for the land fertility that there is much increased interest in the dairy business. There is more inquiry c. L. Beach mentions four important factors in this developments:
 First. The cooperation in the man. ufacture of butter and cheese. Then there is education, including the inves tigation of the experiment stations and the instruction contributed by the dairy press, dairy schools and dairy instructors. Third are the results of inventive genius-the separator, the Babcock test, refrigerating cars, silo and the milking machine. Fourth, the importation and spread of pure-bred dairy cattle.
 These four factors are in full swing to-day and will result in still greater development. But special advance in the near future will be along the line of more economy in production.
 The man who can produce a pound of butter fat at the least cost will be the public benefactor The dairy farm may hope to produce the dairy products at less cost by study and ap- plication of the four following prob lens:
 First. Intelligent feeding.
 Second. Kindness and regularity in the care, feeding and milking of his dairy animals
 Third Selection of the cow
 Fourth. More intelligent breeding.

NOTES.

The feed problem is getting harder.
 The finer the soil is pulverized the better it will retain moisture, which is one of the necessary elements in the garden.
 The soil should be mellow loam and in the best possible tilth, well fitted with humus obtained by annu- ally blowing under well rotten manure. For some of the garden crops this may be supplemented by the addition of some of the commercial fertilizers. Peruvian guano is one of the cheap est and most satisfactory concentrated fertilizers to use in the garden.

IMPROVE THE FARM DIARIES.
Aim of Farmer Should Always Be for
 Better Cows and Methods.

The farm dairies should be i'm proved. and that. too, as rapidly as possible. There are many reasons why the farm dairy under proper man. agement can be made more service able than any other means of taking care of the milk rroduced on the farm. When the milk can be made up into products on the farm, and when the products will bring the high est market price, the farmer that keeps cows will be in a position to take life easy. Taking all things to- gether, says the Farmers Review, the making of butter on the farm las less complications than in any other place. The farmer does not then have to arrange for his milk or cream to be hauled to market or go himself, to the detriment of the other work on the farm. But we have to face the fact at this time that the differ ence in rrice between farm butter and creamery butter is so great that the farmer cannot afford to make his own butter That is the reason why the farm da:~ies must be i'm proved if the farmer is going to make butter.

Getting even with the automobil- ists: Seems to me a man of your standing in the community ought to drive a better-looking horse," criti- cally remarked the Cleveland Plain Dealers funny man to the old farm CT. T won't trade him for the fast est roadster in the hull country" said Farmer Huckleberry. That hoss knows just what to do when he meets an auttymobile He cavorts around an topples over an breaks up a dollars wuth O buggy shaft an mebby 50 cents wuth of harness, an I'll bet I've collected much as 'leven hundred dol lars from the auttymobile owners. The old hoss is all right
 These fellows who claim they can pick the good COW by just looking at her wouldn't do for cattle buyers for us. The BabcOck tester and plenty of time to try the animal are the only methods we are willing to trust
 Take good care of the wagon and it will last longer. Half the money spent each year for wagons by farm CTS might have been saved had proper care been given the old ones. The wagon should never be left out to weather the storms.

Testing the Cows.

It takes just a few days to find out how much a COW is worth. In recent Kansas test, covering the COWS of S2 creamery patrons, the best COWS made S42.09 per COW, while the poorest ones made only $7.54 per cow-a difference of S3455 per COW.
 Large stock raisers will watch with a good deal of interest the govern ment's scientific reseeding expert ments on several of the national for est ranges next spring and summer, to determine under what conditions and in what manner those port 3ns of the range which have been seriously damaged by overgrazing may be re stored to their former productiveness west is overgrazed and does not carry as much stock as formerly. The method of handling stock, particular ly sheep, is perhaps more responsible for this condition than any othe. cause. But all cases of deterioration and all means for improving the forage crop need to be studied, that the rang may be brought into the best condi- ton to meet the imperative demand of the live stock industry.
 Some farmers who are becoming handy in the use of cement are build ing concrete hot bed frames. A four inch wall is sufficient and should be placed below the frost line. One, iach boards can be used in building the forms. The rear wall of the bed should be six inches higher than the front wall to give the necessary slope to the sash. Aftec the forms are all erected fill them with a mixture of one part Portland cement, four parts clean, coarse sand and eight parts broken stone or gravel level with the ground. Above the ground use con crete made of one part Portland ce- inent, three parts sand and six parts broken stone or gravel The wall above the ground need only be three inches thick. The forms can be re- moved after two or three days. After they are taken down keep the walls lamp for couple of weeks by sprink

EARNS THAT ARE HANDY.
Edgar L. Vincent Suggests That Im-
 proVements Can Be Made.

My! That's hard work! Why do folks have such awfully hard barns to get around in?"
 Well, sir, that was a fair question, and l wish I might have answered my boy; but l couldn't, just because don t know myself why it is that so many barns about the country are terribly hard to work in.
 Take the one we were in at that mo- ment for example. There was no lad der in the whole building. When you wanted to go up overhead you just had to shin up post or swing your self from one beam and get to another. It takes a better athlete than I am to do that right along and stand it. Think of the waste of strength And then, there was no way to get down from the big barn floor to the basement. You had to travel away round out of doors, no matter what the weather might be. All because there were no stairs.
 Now, when we built our barn we made plans for plenty of good stairs One pair leads from the first floor down to the basement. We are never compelled to go out of doors to gel from one floor to the other. Another pair of stairs leads up to the hay loft No steep, hard stairs are they either but good easy ones, that anybody can get up comfortably.
 And then, the barn my boy and were in that day had the worst scaf folds you most ever saw. They were made of the slahs of logs, laid with the rounding side up. You can i'm egine how slippery such a scaffold would get to be in the course of time It was almost as much as ones life was worth to try to skate around on those treacherous slabs. My life was not insured, so did not try it.
 If any rart of a barn ought to be secured against accidents it should be the scaffolds. They are high. A fall from them might mean death, or at least lifelong injury and suffering The boards ought to be carefully laid down and strong enough so that there would be no danger of breaking.
 Another point often overlooked in the construction of barns is convent ence in fodIering I have been in barns where every spear of hay had to be dragged two or three rods over the floor before it could be put through the shute to the cattle. And one barn I know of is so made that the farmer must haul the hay as much as 75 feet to get it to the stock A terrible waste of time and strength. What wonder that farmers wear themselves out long before their time.
 By little foresight the shutes may be put in so that one may stand on the mow and send the hay right down to the feeding floor. The sides of the shute may be so built that they may be taken off as the mow goes down to avoid lifting the hay high in the air.
 Barns ought to be handy to the house, too. Sometimes we see them To cated quarter of mile away What an amount of travel one must gc through in the course of a lifetime or farms like that!
 The first thing to be done, as look at it, continues MT. Vincent 1T Farmers Voice, is to sit down ant make a good plain diagram of the barn. Anyone can do that if he ever has had bit of experience in doing work at barn. A little time at thi: point will save years of hard and alto gether unnecessary labor

Do your best and be lucky.
 4 good farmer is one who under stands his trade and works at it.
 Put the brood sows by themselves when they begin to get pretty large. Next seasons work will go of smoother if you think out the tasks ahead.
 Keep the barn clean, the COW clean. feed clean food and then see that the milker is clean.
 Dairying is the one branch in which no man should engage who has not a real liking for cows
 The COWS are entitled to as good care as that given the horse, and are just as appreciative of such treat ment
 As far as is possible seeds and nur. sery stock should be produced in the localities where they are to be planted and grown.
 The best breed for you is the ore which will do best under the condi tiOns your place affords, and which will find the readiest market.
 Clean milk means more than the handling of the milk after it comes from the barn. All the care in the world cannot atone for carelessness by the milker.
 The successful poultryman is the man who knows his flock so we'll as to be constantly weeding out the culls and drones, and marketing them to pay their overdue board bill.
 Pure water on the farm. Have you got it? It may look clear and good but are you sure the well is so locat ed that it is not being contaminated by surface water or some other agency?
 The Solled and dirty clothing worn about the farm during the day should not be worn when tks milking is done. Have an extra suit of overalls which are used only for milking, and which are washed often.
 Different crops require different degrees of moisture. The potato needs great deal of water in it's growth oats, it is said. come next, then wheat then corn, then sugar beets and olG alfalfa, red clover, timothy and Eng fish rye grass follow in the order named.
 Light is life in the home and in the stable.
 Fit the horses ration to the amount If work that is expected of him.
 Small fiocks of chickens are less fable to disease than large flocks.
 Comfort and good feed are the requi. htes to a good flow of milk from the patient COW.
 Diseased wood can never be made sound and the quicker the tree is re moved the better.

Woman Decries the Common Practice
of Publicity.

Queer, isn't it," said the observ-
ant woman, that though American
men are modest individuals, they have
been content all these years to be
shaven and shorn and massaged in full
view of any one who happens to be
passing. l mean that all the barber
shops are on the street level or below
1t, and with a wealth Of uncurtained
glass front that allows a mans toilet
to be regarded as a matter Of public
interest. You might think this expos
ure was tolerated by the customer
only because it insures a good, strong
light for the delicate operation Of
shaving; but not SO, for even at night
when the electric lights are glazing
down the shades remain up, and pedes-
TRANS may gaze upon unlovely lath-
cred faces in any barber shop they
pass. Going over a comparatively
small area last week I counted 200
tonsorial parlors and not one of them
attempted even the gauziest screen

Eminent EneIishman One of the Most
BibulouS Of Men.

The great Person, librarian and
Greek scholar, would sit up drinking
all night without seeming to feel any
bad effects from it. Horne Tooke told
Samuel Rogers that he once asked
Person to dine with him in Richmond
buildings, and, as he knew that Por.
son had not been in bed for the three
preceding nights, he expected to get
rid OF him at tolerably early hour
Person, however, kept Tooke up the
whole night, and in the morning the
latter, in perfect despair, said: Mr..
Porson, l am engaged to meet
friend at breakfast at a coffee house
in Leicester square," oh" replied
Person, Il will go with you," and he
accordingly did SO. Soon after they
had reached the coffee house Tooke
contrived to slip out, and, running
home, ordered his servant not to let
Mr.. Person in, even if he should at
tempt to batter down the door, "A
man." observed Tooke, who could sit
up four nights successfully might have
sat up 49,"
Tooke used to say that "Porscn
would drink ink rather than not drink
at ALL" Indeed, he would drink any
thing. He was sitting with a gentle
man after dinner in the chambers of
mutual friend, Templar, who was
then Ill and confined to bed. A serv-
ant came into the room, sent thither
by his master, for bottle Of embro-
cation, which was on the chimney
