SUGGESTIONS FOR DAlRYMEN.

In pamphlet recently issued by the
dairy division Of the department Of
agriculture at Washington, entitled
Twenty Dairy Suggestions, With Spe-
cial Reference to Sanitation" the fol-
lowing directions are given relative to
the proper care of the dairy herd They
are much to the point and should be
posted up in every COW stable in the
land: a. Have the herd examined at
least twice year by skilled veteri-
marian, promptly removing any ami
mails suspected Of being in bad health.
Never add an animal to the herd un-
less certain it is free from disease, par
ticularly tuberculosis. e. Never allow
a COW to be excited by fast driving,
abuse, loud talking or unnecessary dis
turbance. Do not expose her to cold or
storms more than necessary. 81 Clean
the entire body Of the COW daily, while
hair in the region of the udder should
be kept short by clipping. az Do not
allow any strong favored food like
garlic, cabbage or turnips to be eaten
except Immediately after milking.
Changes in food should be made grad
ually. o. Provide. pure fresh water in
abundance. easy Of access, but not too
cold. Under the head Of milking and
handling Of the milk the following sug-

A TROUBLESOME MlcRoRE.

While tobacco growers the country
over are pestered with insect enemies
that work more or less damage to their
crops. the worst parasite which some
of the growers in portions of Kentucky
have to put up with Is two legged
microbe that wears a mask, carries
revolver and makes q practice of set
ting the growers tobacco storehouse
afire and perhaps killing the owner. So
destructive have the attacks Of these
Night Riders been during the past year
that many of the independent tobacco
growers of the state referred to have
had to vacate their plantations and
move to other states. The motive for
these vicious attacks on the independ
ents seems to be traceable to their I'M
willingness to have the price at which
they shall sell their product dictated
by the Tobacco Growers association,
through which as a result Of a mutual
agreement the members have been
able to raise the price Of tobacco from
9 to IS cents a pound. The independ-
ents, not liking dictation as to the
management Of their business and
many Of them having insufficient
means to enable them to hold their
product for a considerable period Of
time, have sold or offered to sell at
lower prices than those set by the as

A POOR SWAP,

Unless the business opening which
he can get is decidedly superior that
country lad is making very question
able shift who swaps the independence
and healthful physical toll, though at
times strenuous and monotonous, and
the many pleasant Accomplishments
and associations Of country life for the
city job, with it's meager supply Of sun
shine and fresh air, rattling drays,
roaring street cars, rush and hurry,
dependence and treadmill existence.
Coupled with these drawbacks are
temptations and pitfalls Of which the
country bred boy is almost entirely
free. In a majority of cases where the
move is made a country birthright is
snapped for a worthless mess of urban
pottage

RENT OR BUY?

The above query is one that often
confronts young people as they start
housekeeping on their own account.
and they are often perpleXed to know
which is the wiser and more econom-
ical course to pursue. While circum-
stances to be found in some portions
of larger cities may make the plan of
owning a home of ones own inadvisa-
Bile, it seems to be the consensus of
opinion that under average conditions
those who buy are at the end of
term of years financially ahead of what
they would have been had they rented
a property of an equal value. Added to
the fact that in a period Of twelve
years one would pay out in rent con-
siderably more than the place rented
could be bought for at the beginning
of the period is the satisfaction of
having a home Of ones own, a consid-
Grafton that it Is not easy to measure
in dollars and cents. Moreover, where
young people buy home Of their own
and have to go In debt for it there is
constantly present an incentive to be
economical and careful in ones expend-
iture. Thus the putting Of money
into a home results in much the same
conditions that prevail when one Is
carrying life insurance or putting
money into other forms Of Investment.
Payments must be made at stated in
tervals, and economy is accordingly
practiced that these may be met.
Where one rents a portion Of the sala
~ is devoted to this purpose, but the
process goes on year after year with
nothing to show for the money one has
paid during the interval but a bunch
of receipts for rent which have no ne
gotiable value

Fire at Weddings.

Fire is an essential in some wedding
celebrations. In Persia the service is
read in front Of a fire. In Nicaragu
the priest, taking the couple each by
the little finger, leads them to an apart.
ment where fire is lighted and there
instructs the bride in her duties, ex-
tinguishing it by way Of conclusion.
In Japan the woman kindles a torch,
and the bridegroom lights one from it,
the playthings Of the wife being burnt
then and there.
