A Good Plan for Dairy with Ieehouse
and Water Tank.

Every farmhouse needs three things,

convenient, store OF Ice and an abun-
dant supply OF water. Fortunately all
OF these can easily be secured in one
building, and that may be very
slightly and even pleasing building In
appearance. We will, of course. build
1t of concrete. the sides may be of
plain plaster effect, II rough all the
better, and afterwards covered with
vines and creepers. A foreword about
the finishing Of concrete walls. They
may be plastered after the forms are
taken away. This is not the cheap
way. nor does 1t always look best
They may be etched with acid to take
away the newness and rawness; this
gives very pretty effect. Or they
may be hammered with rough faced
hammer, similar to what cooks use for
making tender beef steak; this also
gives a nice roughness. The plain
plaster wall looks better. usually, than
the wall made of blocks initiating
stone: the latter is too monotonous.
1t is not practicable to color the
whole mass of concrete to initiate
brick. since it would take too much
coloring matter The best color Is the
dry iron ore red. 1t might be put on

Semidress Dresses.

Every business woman knows the
necessity for the dress which she
must wear to the office at times when
going directly from the place of busi-
ness to an entertainment, dinner or
some place of amusement. There
must be something which strikes tho
happy medium between the simple
Office dress and the elaborate dressy
frock. A good pattern is one of the
one-piece dresses, either princess
dress or one with jumper waist and
a dainty white waist beneath. The
plain colored dress, neatly trimmed
with velvet and lace is always stylish
and looks dainty. A dress of this kind
necessarily demands a separate wrap
and nothing is more suitable than
black marchioness which may be said
to possess sterling qualities for tho
business woman, since 1t will serve for
many purposes. A picture hat may be
worn, neat gloves, and as she leaves the
office If she desires to wear flowers
she can stop at some florists and get
the desired ornament.

sTRiPPINes.

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.
II 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
keep cream without ice in summer is
to dig hole ~ feet deep and four feet
square near the separator house. AS
soon as cream Is separated put 1t in a
bucket with tight lid and hang 1t in
the hole.

GARGET.
An AiIment Of Cows at calvins Time
and How to Treat II.

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 are
usually no bad consequences from the
trouble unless it is neglected. 1t is
caused by large supply of milk re-
manning in the udder and is some
times aggravated by neglecting to
milk out or by the COW standing in a
draft of cold air. In cases of this
kind 1t 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 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 little camphor-
ated ointment or some unsalted lard
Or oily substance. 1t takes several
days to get rid of the trouble.

There is nothing you can buy which
will exactly take the place OF black
Panama shirtwaist costume. 1t will
be necessary to half line the waist at
the top, also the cuffs and collars,
which come in contact with the flesh,
for Panama cloth is harsh against the
skin. The circular skirt Is a good
model for this suit and the best trim
ming is bands of silk or braid in mar
row widths. No difference how often

once the perfume has made its way
into the woods of chinoniers and
dressing tables everything kept there
will be sweet. Girls who like ex-
tremely dainty scents will find that
bit Of the root boiled with handker-
chiefs and stocks after the latter are
washed will make them exquisite.

people before the white man came and
conferred upon them the gift 81 of
civilization.
Mr.. Miller obtained the cradle from
squaw whose name was kah-mis-
kah-se-ga-qua, who was then Is years
of age, She was the mother of ten
children and each one had been car
ried on her back or swung from a
tree limb in the little wooden cradle.
The cradle was inherited from her
mother, and she and her brothers and
sisters had also been reared in 1t.
The handle is of hickory and is
peculiarly formed, the formation be-
ing the result of the three-fold pur-
pose to which it was put in the
northern wilds over n century ago.
First, it was used for carrying the
cradle and the little red papoose.
Again. in case of an accident, 1t
prevented the child from falling out
and striking on its face.
In the third instance. when the
mother had to attend to her house
hold duties, plant corn out in the hot
sun or do other work, she would
remove the cradle, set it against the
tree and to keep the little one con-
tented. she would hang on this handle

The Profitable Cow.

It is often urged that the average
farmer should have COW that can
give milk profitably and whose steers
will make profitable beef animals. The
average production of the cows of
Wisconsin is about 100 pounds Of but
ter per year per COW: then will 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 1t not bet
ter to have a COW that can do one
thing at a profit than 1t is to have one
that can do two things at loss? And
the breeding of dairy cows with the
milhdng function highly developed and
capable Of perpetuating that function
in their offspring, is sufficiently diff.
cult, without being handicapped by
trying to breed the opposite or beeiing
temperament in the same animal.-E.

JeweIed Neck Adornments.

One of the dainty styles of jeweled
neck ornaments consists of separate
motifs wrought exquisitely in yellow
gold and in the lightest, most delicate
manner, says a writer In Vogue.
These motifs are arranged SO as to
be sewed on to neckbands of lace or
finely tucked nets, or mousselines.
They are especially fit for youthful
adornments. One may give special
order for any particular design or
present an original one to be carried
out. Flowers are the most frequent
designs used.

Students Club Meeting.

An entertainment combining many
delightful features was an open meet
ing OF the Students Club Friday
afternoon with Mrs. John Carpenter
as hostess. It was the occasion of
Rev. ]. w. Cherry's address on Walt
Whitman. Notwithstanding the in
cessant downpour of ram quite an au-
dience assembled to hear a discussion
Of this interesting subject. A fine
musical programme had also been ar
ranged, but this had to be abandoned on
account of the weather. When the
guests arrived they were served to
coffee and sandwiches by Miss Mary
Carpenter and Mrs. James Smiser-
after this came the address, and 1t
was indeed a mastery effort. Whit
man was taken as a man and as a
poet. He was a many sided man, and
many are the opinions of mankind
concerning him; at the close of this
discourse, however, the audience
found it's heartbeat to be in entire
sympathy with the great heart Of
Whitman; his idyosyncrasies as
man and as poet, were, for the time
at least, forgiven and forgotten, and
the true heart Of the man command
ed the respect and homage of all.
The Students Club were very APP
preciative of Mr.. Cherry's effort as
were also the visitors; it was the
central feature of very beautiful en-
Mrs. Carpenter, as al
ways, proving most gracious hostess.
