mSitU and MSet.n

Some one who believes in teaching
by example has concocted a lesson in
the use of two little words which have
been a source of modification and
trouble to many we'll meaning persons.
A man. or woman either, can set q
hen, although they cannot sit her; nei-
ther can they set on her, although the
hen might sit on them by the hour ii
they would allow it.
A man cannot set on the wash
bench, but he could set the basin on it.
and neither the basin nor the gramma-
rianS would object.
He could sit on the dogs tail, if the
dog were willing. or he might set mis-
foot on it. But if he should set on the
aforesaid tail or sit his foot there the
grammarians as well as the dog would
howl-metaphorically at least.
And yet the man might set the tail
aside and sit down and be assailed nei-
ther by the dog nor by the gramma
rians.

GOOD FEEDING RACK.

One Convenient For Sheep Suggested
by an Expert Breeder.
The construction of hay and grain
racks for feeding sheep is a question
Of vital Importance that confronts the
sheepman, especially at this period of
the year. For rack that is simple
and cheap to make and very conven-
lent and practical an expert sheep feed
er makes the following suggestions:
First the lumber should be Of light
stuff. sawed in l by 6. by and by
pieces. The rack from the ground is
forty-fve inches high. The first thing
to make is the ends To do this take
two six-incb planks and one eight.

DAIRY. NOTES
Care of Dairy BUILDINGS.


Take care that the buildings in which
milking is carried on are well aired and
free from ayoidabIe dust. Fresh air
and sunlight should be constantly ad-
mitted. and litter or food should not
be handled during the milking hour.
About Milking.
Many people are not scrupulously
clean in their milking. The wonder is
that milk and butter are so good as
they are. The COWS should be we'll
bedded and kept clean. The milk
bucket should be clean and the milk
ers hands clean always, Allow no
flying dust that may get into the milk.
Carry the milk away to it's proper
place and strain or separate it at once.
Constant vigilance is the price of pure
milk.
Concerning Feed.
Care must be taken not to waste
feed and thus reduce profits. Nor
must the feed be too scant for produc-
ing the full amount of milk. With the
present high price of mill feeds the
farmer should put up his own grains,
clover, alfalfa and corn silage.
A Purdue university bulletin says,
"a ration commonly used in Indiana is
one composed of corn fodder, twelve
pounds; clover hay, ten pounds; corn
meal, five pounds, and wheat bran, six
pounds"
How Often to Milk.
Most farmers and dairymen milk
their COWS only tyVicp q dav and that
is right. Sometimes a fresh cow needs
to have an excess Of milk drawn be-
tween times in order to prevent con-
gestion and fever, but not for a long
period. Some COWS again have '1eak-
ing teats," which waste the milk if
not relieved three or four times day,
but such cows are a nuisance and
should be disposed of. To milk twice
a day is enough. as a general rule. To

high, Joined to the six inches, making
the foot fifteen inches wide. After
you have got two ends made fasten
them together with two by Stats,
one at the top and the other six inches
plainly seen from photo No. /. Nail
the front Stats to these, leaving a
crack of about three inches between
each pair of Stats.
Now place an eight inch plank on
the feet for the feed trough. The front
is about completed now, so we will
go to the back. First observe photo
No. 2. Now. on the back edges Of the
two ends. tWenty-one inches from the
ground. nail an eight inch plank. This
plank you see from photo No. 2. From
within an inch of the top Of this plank
slope a fourteen inch plank, made of
half inch stuff, down to within six
inches of the edge of the plank on the
feet, leaving the six inches for the
feed trough. The edge of this sloped
plank can be seen in photo No. 1 just
under the lower crosspiece. For this
l used two seven-inch lplanks instead
Of a fourteen inch plank. This plank
should be planed, for it carries the
grain into the trough from the back
of the rack. Notice how the back of
the rack is made for this purpose.
This is strong point about the rack.

CROKER WEALTH
TO CURE CANCEn |,
Its Victim Gave Sl,5OO,OOO to
Columbia University.
FOR SPECIAL RESEARCH FUND

Request of George Croker, Youngest
Son of Charles Crocker, California
Millionaire, One of Many Gifts In His
Lifetime For Education-How He
Helped Students With Loans.
George Crocker. youngest son of
Charles CrOcker of California, who
died from cancer the other day in his
home in New York. made large be-
quest to Columbia university to inves.
tigate the disease and to try to find a
real cure for it, For that purpose he
created the George Crocker Special
Research fund.-
Mr. Crocker's will did not specify
any sum of money for this purpose.
but directed that his house at Fifth
avenue and Sixty-fourth street. with
its contents, as well as his country
place ut Darlington, n. j., should be
sold and the proceeds turned over to
the trustees of Columbia university for
investment as permanent fund. This
will net about S1.500.OO0.
Mr.. Crocker some time ago gave $780,
600 to Columbia to start this work.
Mrs. CrOcker also died from cancer,
which had much to do with the plans
which Mr.. Croker had been making
for long time TO give fund for spe-
cial research.
Made Many Charitable Gifts.
Mr.. Crocker inherited from his father
Se0OO,OOO rs his share of the S30.000,-
OO0 estate which the former railroad
king left He had a reputation before
his fathers death of being a reckless
young man. bur in accordance with
clause in his fathers will. which slip
ulated that his son should abstain
from drink for five years. he turned
over a new leaf and at the end of that
period came into his inheritance.
Captain John Hays Hammond of II
Broadway, New York. one of the eX-
ecutors of Mr.. Crocker's will, said that
Mr.. Croker had made many charita-
bic gifts in his lifetime, but had al
ways kept them a secret as he was un-
willing TO become known as a public
benefactor.
At one time Mr.. Croker gave $4,000
to start a school for postgraduate
work in mining among the colleges.
This school was known privately as

The Christmas List.

And now once more we list our friends,
On each value place.
We write them down, and by each name
A certain price we trace.
a few there are we hold most dear.
Two dollars each Wen spend
On Christmas gifts for them this year.
This makes 1.-The two spot friend"
Now, then, a few we like real well.
We oft seek their advice.
We must not mean appear to them:
A dollar is their price.
This list too large must never grow
Or ruin will attend,
And thus it is we come to know
The Christmas lease note friend"
Now comes list, the longest list
OF all, and note it well,
For it contains more honest friends
Than L have space to tell.
In gifts that we shall send to them
No thought of favor enters;
A necktie or a handkerchief
Must do for fifty centers.'
And yet when summing up the list
The 1.-TWO spot gifts" for show,
The dollar present. goes to pay
A friendship debt we owe.
But most of love and sentiment
I'm certain always enters
Into the simple little gifts
We send to fifty centers."

Butter Eat and Butter.

What is the difference. you ask. be-
tween butter fat and butter? Or how
much butter will a given amount Of
butter fat make?
Well. the difference is usually about
Is or 20 per cent-that is, eighty
pounds of butter fat will churn about
hundred pounds of butter. The
amount varies according to the way
of doing the work, for some butter
has more water, salt and curds in it
than other butter. Any way, there
will be more butter than butter fat.

Spayinc of Heifers.

While most ranchmen do not regard
the spaying Of heifers as the most
profitable method in the long run, still
there are some who believe in spay-
ing their young she stock. StOckmen
believe that they can realize larger
profit out of the calves than they
would from any additional premium
received for stock that has been put
under the knife.

MONEY IN SHEEP.
Profits For the Farmer Who Engages
In This Industry.

IN mis- INDUSTRY
An authority on sheep breeding says
American farmers lack the interest TO
follow the breeding of good sheep.
Sheep are in great demand, especially
in the corn belt. In all other countries
sheep are one of the main branches Of
animal industry. refer TO those
countries Of Europe where farming is
and always has been a leading INDUS
try. There is no better land than
the middle west. and. furthermore, we
have not the drawbacks TO encounter
which they have encountered and have
overcome. 1t is true many ewes have
been brought on the market and sold
to the farmers for breeding purposes,
but few of these have reached the corn
belt proper. They have gone either
farther east or south. There are, now
ever, many feeders who are willing TO
gamble on a carload or two of tatten-
ing stock. or lambs. But this is not
building up the sheep industry. Sheep
breeding should be reOrganlZed in the
corn belt, where we are practicing oil
versitied systems of farming.
With mutton at 80 per hundred
weight, it is enough TO prove that
there is money in the business and
that it can be made a paying PROPOSE

all the advantages are on the side Of
the American farmer as sheep

ton. 1t would not be an exaggeration
to say that the profits in the sheep
industry, relatively. are greater than
those in any other class Of farm stock.
1t goes without saying, however,
that sheep need some care and intelli-
gent handling. By starting In on a
small scale any person by careful APP
plication and exercise of common
sense can quickly get working ac-
quaintance with sheep and their pc
culiarities. Well finished mutton, such
as can be produced in the corn belt,
probably never will be cheap again,
and the increased demand for good
wool will insure an excellent market
for the same.

the Mining Field school, and graduates
from Harvard. Yale, Columbia. the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
and the Golden School of Mines in
Colorado attended it for one year. Mr..
Croker leased a mine near Bowlder,
Colo. as an aid to his experiment
about four years ago, and about hun
dred graduates from the different uni
versities went there under the instruc-
ton of Professor Munroe of Columbia
and some from other institutions.
They occupied houses near the mine
which Mr.. Croker put up for them
and lived the life of miners for a
year, going down into the mine and
learning drilling, blasting and all the
other operations.
How He Helped Peary.
Mr.. Croker at another time also gave
several thousands to start a student
loan fund for men in the different col
leges in the east who found themselves
unable after a year or so at college to
continue their course through lack of
finances. Mr.. Crocker lent these men
money and they were put upon their
honor that. as soon as they began to
make money after graduation. they
should turn over the borrowed amount
to the fund so that it might be re-
loaned to those in a like predicament.
At the time that Commander Peary
was about to set out on his last and
successful dash for the north pole MIR.
Crocker was approached on the sub
ject of funds. He was strongly OPP
posed TO the project, as he considered
that Peary was about to throw his
life away. However. friends of the
commander persuaded Croker to meet
the explorer, and when the two did
meet and Croker had sized up his
man and found that he was determined
to embark on the expedition, whether
properly fitted out or not, the young
man contributed $4,000 to the expe-
ditiOn. In honor of his benefactor,
Peary has named large tract of land
in the polar zcne Croker Land.
