Of and the national government kept an eager
eye upon him, while the results Of his work and
Of the European examples gained appreciabe

No government subvention can ever be
hoped for in the United States; but some few
organizations sprang up from the mere business
sagacity of the population. In Michigan the
first cooperative test organization began It's ca
reer two years ago; now there are half Dozen
with the main difficulty that Of securing men 10
take the post of tester. Every farmer contrib

and Vermont.
The Washington times., 1908-05-31

They have spread all over the more enterprising
and progressive countries of Europe; and, even
IN the United States. the last two years have
brought about a sentiment augurng that the
time Is ripe here for the application OF some
->odifcation of the system - the American COW.
For some years the Dairy Division at Wash
ington has been hard at work to demonstrate TO
the farming population at large a big, mair-fact
which Europe has learned in all its far-reach-
ing, golden significance. 1t Is this:
The only reason for the low yield Of the
average American cow Is tha- the farmer keeps
no records of individual production. As soon as
he begins to weigh s milk and test it for its
content of butter fat, he can intelligeutly dis
pose of the poor and nproductive cows, retain
the profitable ones and breed better ones.
1t can be done at so small an expense that
the wonder is all farmers do not do it.
However great the wonder, the plain fact is
they don't Breeders of select stock and some
of the more advanced dairymen, keep very com
plete records; but the average owner of herd.
large or small is still inclined to depend upon
what he considers his knowledge of his cows
which repeated experiences prove TO be about
equal to his knowledge of oesophagoscopy.
The Washington times., 1908-05-31
TO SPREAD KNOWLEDGE

To help them to spread the knowledge OF
what such associations can do, and of the ways
of doing it, to foster the entirely new profes-
sion of milk tester IN the United States-in fine,
to enable the farmers of this country to do for
themselves what has been accomplished for the
farmers of Denmark, is the task that res upon
the shoulders of Herman Rabild, to whom no.
body, except the Department of Agriculture. IS
paying any particular attention mus far.
The government Is remembering that the
aation's butter crop is now worth S263 ,256 So;
its cheese crop, $2S, ,060,ve2; its condensed milk.
$11 8S8 1872; its plain cream, 81 547 $50; its milk
S217 7512 $50; Its milk fed to calves, S39,000OO0i
its by-products 81, ,O49 226; its calves, $1S000,
900, and its total dairy crop 1925 100000.
1t has before It's eyes that impressive car
toon of Professor Fraser's-it Is one Of the
treasures of the Dairy Division at Washington
and it has before its eyes, also, the vision Of
the day when all the cows shall be good cows,
and the total dairy crop shall be worth Sl,250s'
1000 a year.

I'd feed her the choicest hay
And milk her twenty times a day.-Od Song.
ME average annual butter yield of the
American COW is $50 pounds, with but
ter fat last year bringing between %
and 90 cents a pound which from
4 to cents higher than the prices for 1906.
Colantha ", lady Heistein, owned by J.
". Gillette. of Rosendals. Wis. has just finished
her record of a years homecomings with 99S
pounds of butter fat to her credit while the De-
partment of Agriculture, the general Dairy
world, Mr.. Gillette and Colantha " are all grit
ting their teeth because she didn't clear the
1000-pound mark
But, even at the precise 99S-pound accom-
plishment, she did nearly % times well as
the average old Sis Cow, who trudges barnward
with less than half pound of butter day to
show for her board and keep.
'If we can only double that poor 150-pound
averaged" exclaims Chief Webster, In the Dairy
Division, every time he sets eyes on Mr.. Rabild.
1t is not an unreasonable aspiration; it is
far from being an unfair expectation. One can
glance over the records of well-kept herds III va
rious sections of the country ant find hundreds
and hundreds of cows that do as well, and hum
dreds more that do much better.
Within the brief period of ten years the
methods which Mr. Rabild seeks to inaugurate
here have doubled the dairy wealth of Denmark.

WHEN FLOOR NEEDS PAINTING.
Best Results Achieved by Doing It In
Following Manner.

Have floor we'll scrubbed and free
from lacks and lime and thoroughly
dried before applying paint. Give it
a coat OF 1ooT paint st any desired
color every other day until three coats
have been applied. Then get varnish
the color Of the paint and apply two
good coats OF that and the foor will
look fine aud smooth. To clean the
door. If border only, first sweep the
carpet and let dust settle. Make q
dustsr BY wrapping an old piece Of
flannel around a broom handle so that
1t forms round ball and over this tie
a piece of eiderdown. Go over the
painted portion Of the floor with this
duster. every once in awhile shaking
out the dust. In this way the floor
will always look nice and it will not
be necessary to clean with water,
which always dulls the paint.

One quart of -four. two teaspoonfuls
baking powder, one teaspoonful of
salt, two rounding tablespoonfuls drip
pings; mix these ingredients until of
the consistency of cornmeal. then
work In enough sweet milk to form a
dough easily handled. Cold water
may be used instead Of the milk, but
tablespoonful more of drippings
must be used in this case. Roll the
dough into a sheet one-fourth inch
thick, using -four on the holding board
to prevent the dough adhering. Spread
minced meat or fowl over this and add
salt and pepper. begin at one end to
rou up as for jelly roll: pinch the
snds together, using water to make
them adhere. thus preventing the meat
from oozing out. Place In q buttered
dish and set in a steamer over boil
ing water for one hour; remove and
serve with leftover gravy or make q
tomato sauce. Cut into slices when
serving.

IDEA FOR BREAKFAST ROOM.
Better to Keep Separate from tho
Main Dining Chamber.

A breakfast bay breaking out from
one side IS a favorite treatment for
the newer dining-rooms. These BAYS
nave slight elevation. and heavy
curtains conceal them from the dining
room proper, making a coy and Sc
eluded breakfast room for a family OF
three or four. Mullioned windows are
attractive, and easement sashes are
good form. especially if English or
colonial designs are used in the dining
room. A side door from the bay to the
buffers pantry is most convenient.
and, II paneling is used. a concealed
door Is easily arranged. A small table.
the desired number of chairs. and
simple curtains admitting the sun
hght are all the furnishings a bay
should receive. When a larger family
must be accommodated, a breakfast
room Is arranged conveniently oppo-
site the main dining-room. This. of
course, gives freedom of treatment Of
separate room. These separate
breakfast rooms are especially salts

Boiled DRESSING.

A boiled dressing for salads I'M
known to most people is made by
adding to a teaspoonful of butter one
Of flour. then a beaten egg, followed
after these have been stirred In rota-
ton, as they follow each other, by a
teaspoonful of graduated sugar and
half teaspoonful each of mustard and
pepper; lastly add four tablespoonfuls
of vinegar, remembering always that
lemon juice preferably may take its
place. Heat this slowly over the fire,
stirring as it heats until it makes q
thick compound and the -four is
cooked. 1t should then be sailed to suit
the taste. and when it gets cold should
be placed in the refrigerator Just be-
fore using it enough whipped cream is
beaten into 1t to thin it down to the
consistency of a mayonnaise.

PEAS IN THE POD.
Old Way of Smelling Them Is Alto
gether Unnecessary.

At last the season of the succulent
green pea need not be regarded with
horror by the cook. No more need
she stay out for hours and hours on
the porch Smelling them in endless
numbers. while the rest of the dinner
waits until it is almost too late to
complete 1t for that day. No more
need mother stay home from picnics
and other parties because the peas
must be prepared for lunch or dinner.
All that is necessary is TO throw
them, pods and all, into the pot. Cook
them the usual length Of time. When
they are done. the pods will break and
rise to the surface, while the peas may
be found at the bottom Of the kettle.
What a change this will make in the
time it requires to cook a meal. What
comfort it will be to feel that no
more afternoons need be spent in
Smelling peas, and what a JOY II is to
know that peas when cooked this way
are better than when hours are spent
upon their preparation.
