cows AND FLIES.

Some years ago the Wisconsin agri-
cultural experiment station conducted
a test with view TO determining the
results to be obtained from protecting
cows from files during the late sum-
mer months One bunch OF seven
cows was confined during the daytime
In comfortable stable provided with
screen doors and windows, while n
second bunch was confined In n small
lot provided with abundance of shade.
Both lots were pastured at night and
received the same kind and amount
OF grain feed, together with all the
freshly cut sorghum and green corn
that they would eat up clean during
the day. While the cows confined in
the stable ate considerably more green
corn and sorghum, they lost more in
live weight during the four weeks OF
the experiment than did the cows left
out OF doors. During the first two
weeks Of the experiment the cows kept
IN the stable produced 567 pounds OF
milk less than during the two weeks
previous, while the COWS not confined
showed q decrease OF only 40.4 pounds
The decrease in butter fat was 81
pound for the stabbed COWS and 2.18
pounds for those running ut large. A
consideration OF the results of the test
does not seem to show as great an eff

HE LOST OUT.

We recently noted the case OF n
farmer who had extensive building
plans to carry out which required sew
eral carloads OF lumber. In LOOKING
about for a place to purchase he ran
across the advertisement OF house
wrecking concern of distant city,
and. taken In by the glowing descrip-
lions OF the different items advertised,
he ordered his material from the cata-
logue house without making inquiry OF
his home dealer. After his stuff came
and he had paid spot cash for the
whole bill and freight charges, amount
Ing to about $500, he began to examine
his order and compare It with what he
could have got from the homo dealer.
He found that his doors cost him
$1.2o when he could have got exact
ly the same thing Mt home for S1.15,
with freight paid. The laths were thir-
ty-two instead OF forty-elght inches
long, while dimension stun, siding.
hoorfng and finishing lumber, were
perceptibly inferior In quality to like
stun In the home yards. Added TO this
was the handicap OF being unable to
return crooked or otherwise defective
material, a privilege that he would
have had had he negotiated with the
home lumberman. The experience
which this farmer had is not narrated
In the hope that 1t will be OF any ben
eft to him, though II probably Will II
ne buys again, but 1t may cause some
reader who Is tempted to do the same
thing to at least figure with the home
dealer before placing an order with
distant house. And the principle ap-
plies to household furniture. to silk
dresses and sewing machines just as
pertinently as It does to big orders OF

estate Will be worse than its first.
Copper kettles and saucepans. brass
and irons, Tenders, candlesticks and
trays are best cleaned with vinegar
and salt. Cooking vessels In constant
use need only to be well washed after
ward. Things for show, even pots and
pans. need the oil polishing. which
gives a deep rich yellow luster, good
for six months.
Oxalic acid and salt Is the thing for
furniture brasses. III II touches the
wood around IL. IL only improves the
tone. Wipe the brasses well with a
wet cloth. and polish thoroughly with
oil and tripoli. Sometimes powdered
rottenstone does better than tripoli.
Rub after using either with dry
cloth or leather until there is no trace
OF oil. No matter what sort OF brass
Is to be cleaned. It must first be freed
completely from grease, caked dirt and

with the acid and salt.
The best treatment for wrought iron

then oil plentifully with sweet oil, and
dust thickly with powdered quicklime.
Let the lime stay on two days, then
brush II OF with n clean very stiff
brush. Polish with softer brush
and rub with cloths until the lus-

the color OF iron In daily use, which
Is nearly the most beautiful I'm the
whole range OF metals. BY leaving the
lime on iron and steel may be kept
from rust almost indefinitely.
Before wetting any sort OF bric-a-
brac, and especially bronzes, remove
all the dust possible. The less dust
water finds about fine lines and cram
niles the less II can leave there. After
busting wash well In strong white

How to Make Milk SAFE.

Scientific investigations have proved
that milk In raw state should never
be given to children. Those VINO can
not buy pasteurized milk should pas
teurize 1t at home. This can be done
by observing these simple directions:
First.-Bring the milk slowly to a
boil, and when It reaches the boiling
point bottle 1t instantly. cork tightly
and cool It,
Second - Never feed milk that is
more than twenty-four hours old TO an
infant.
Third.-Keep the milk near Ice and
never leave milk bottle uncorked.
Fourth.-Cleanse and scald all bot.
ties before re6lling.
Careful observance OF these direc-
lions will insure against babies con-
tracting disease from impure milk.

NOTIFIED BUTTER.

Usually the blame for notified butter
is laid to improper sailing, but tests
show that salt cannot produce this re-
suit unless the butter contains an un.
even distribution OF buttermllk. II the
butter Is free from buttermilk, no mat
ter how unevenly the salt is mixed, the
streaks, or notifies, will not be pro-
duced. When churnIng is done so as
to make the butter granules the size Of
rice grains and these are carefully
washed twice with water Mt n tempera-
ture below 40 degrees, removing most
OF the buttermllk adhering TO the outer
surface OF the granules, no notifies are
obtained. The amount of proteid in
mottled butter is greater In the light
portions than In the darker portions
and Is the cause OF the light color, or
notifies. Salt brine does not change
IN any way the color OF butter fat.
Salt brine as It commonly occurs In but
ter has the power OF hardening and 10
CALLING the proteid particles, the ac-
ton requiring several hours for COM
pletion. In notified butter the light
portions usually contain less than the
darker portions. IL can be concluded,
then, that notifies in butter are due
primarily to the pres46ce and uneven
distribution Of buttermilk adhering to
the outer surface OF the small granules
and to the hardening and iocallzlng eff
feet Of the salt brine upon the proteid
Of the buttermilk thus retained in the
butter. The light portions Of notified
butter owe their light color to the pres.
ence OF localized proteid. The yellow
or clear portions occur where the
spaces between the butter granules are
filed with clear brine and are com
paratively free from caseln compounds.
Several hours are required to complete
the action OF the brine upon the pro
teisa Of the butter. Notifies in butter
can DO prevented by avoiding those
conditions that retain buttermilk In the
butter and observing those conditions
which favor the removal OF buttermnk
from butter granules before sailing
Ih' liter granules, as said above,
should be about the size OF rice grains
and should be washed twice with wa
ter at q temperature Of 30 90 40 degrees.

PorPoUkRI MAKING.
How TO Prepare and Select the Various
tnorsdisots

For dwelier I'm the country or the
garden surrounded suburb the follow
Ing soggestions for gathering and pre-
serving the sweetness and fragrance
Of the spring and summer for delecta-
ton In the winter months by setting
up potpourri jar are recommended
to every young girl who has access to
4 garden or the fields and woods.
Any ono OF the quaint and pretty
patterns OF rose jars procurable ut any
big shop will answer for holding the
potpourri itself. which consists not
only OF rose leaves. but OF the petals
and leaves OF any sweet scented plant.
The putting up Of the potpourri con-
sequenuy extends through spring and
early summer. just as the different
blossoms come out. There are n few
general directions which must be close
ly followed In making potpourrl. The
rose Jar itself, as also the vessel In
which the potpourri Is mixed, must
be perfectly new-must never before
have been used. The salt used I'm the
making must be toasted In the oven to
insure its absolutely dryness. The
blossoms and leaves must be young
and tender when gathered. entirely I'M
wilted and must be used when perfect
ly fresh-not after lying by or standing
In water. The ingredients must be
thoroughly stirred up at least once
better twice-a day, and when the pot
pourri is all gathered and mixed IL
should be exposed for two or three
weeks to the heat OF the August sun.
Here follow two recipes for pot
pourri ingredients. They are copied
from an old book handed down from
mother to daughter I'm German baro
NAL family and have been followed.
as have also the general instructions
given above, and found reliable and
satisfactory even I'm the present genera
ton:
First.-One pound fresh picked
orange blossoms, half pound of roses.
half pound OF mace, half a pound OF
lavender and four ounces OF mario
ram leaves, four ounces OF carnations.
four ounces oxalis, one ounce rose
mary, one ounce cloves and half an
ounce Of bay leaves.
Second.-One pound OF orange bios
SONS. one pound of roses, half pound
OF red carnations, half n pound each
OF marjoram and myrtle. two ounces
each OF nutmeg, thyme. lavender. sage,
camomile and sweet basil. fifteen or
twenty bay leaves and three handfuls
Of jasmine. Let the mixture stand for
month. stirring twice n day, and
then add ten ounces OF powdered orris
root. two ounces OF cinnamon and two
OF cloves. with six drains each OF yell
low sandalwood and chyper.
Both the above recipes call for half
pound OF salt-absolutely dry-to draw

How 10 Destroy Pest. on Plant.

The aphis and other insect pests
which are 80 troublesome OH pot plants
can To- put TO utter rout by the follow
Ing simple plan, says Suburban Life:
Place the Infested plants in any large
wooden or tin box that is provided
with n tight fitting lid. as, for instance,
a common tin wash boiler. Put live
coal or two on flower pot saucer In
the bottom Of the box and sprinkle
some finely cut tobacco on the Goals.
Shut the lid quickly and securely, so as
to retain all the fumes Of the burning
tobacco. Leave plants for fifteen min
utes. and every insect will be dead.
Care must be taken not to burn too
much tobacco or the heat will injure
the plants.

How to Reduce Fat,

An excellent and highly effective ex-
ercise for the removal Of abdominal
rat is taken as follows: Lay fiat on
the back on the floor and place the
hands at the sides. Catch the toes un.
der something to keep the feet down
and keep the knees stiff. 1t is well TO
catch the toes under the edge of the
dresser, as there is no danger OF this
being moved by the exercise. Take a
deep breath and rise slowly to a sit
ting position. Lower the body, slowly
expelling the breath. Be careful not
to oveTtrain the muscles while prac-
ticing these movements.
