BE CLEAN.
One Of TIE Most Essential Conditions
of Dairying.

Too little attention is yet paid by
the farmer to his dairy. The care Of
COWS is too often neglected, improper
food administered and above all clean
illness disregarded Cows plastered
with filth continue to parade some of
our farm yards. The odor of reeking
barns will here and there greet the
of a cows own overcoat or other
foreign matter in milk unfortunately
are not uncommon Thus is the health
of the people endangered.
Pals, cans and all other utensils
in the handling of milk should be of
good quality, and well scalded, should
be thoroughly washed and scalded i'm
mediately after using. The discoveries
of bacteriology cannot be disregarded
when we know that a single speck of
dried milk hiding in the crevice of a
poorly sOldered pail or can contains
thousands of germs, which may de-
velop into hundreds of thousands in a
few hours.
Other less important points may be
mentioned, but the general habit of
cleanliness once attained will indicate
that there are other courses and meth
DDS to be followed. The clean barn
and the healthy cow will become the
pride of the dairyman and his en-
thusiasm for clean dairy products will
be stimulated by his certain success in
the industry.
The negligence of the dairyman
however, cannot end within the con
fines of his own farm, says the Farm
ers' Review. He must see that the
creamery or cheese factory which he
patronizes is likewise clean or else
his precaution and care may be taken
for naught He should see that the
milk of others is equally as clean and
wholesome as his own. He should
urge cleanliness elsewhere. as well as
in his own community and lastly he
should see that the finished product
is properly handled and prepared fol
the market
Only by the exercise of such care
until finished product reaches the
market can it's purity and lasting
qualities be assured and reputation
acquired by the factory, community
and state in which he is interested.

WoLETs TO BE MoDISH.
Partisan Millinery Already Indicates
the Trend of Fashion.

The millinery now in process of ere
alton and the models in Paris indicate
that there will be a large field of
choice in shapes, sizes, heights and
materials, and that there will be less
excuse than ever for matron or maid,
rich or poor, to go unbecomlngly
hated the coming spring.
In flowers no less than in hats will
numberless varieties be used by smart
miIliners The lovely violet In all
It's shades will once more be placed
to the fore and In such various forms
can it be presented that 1t Is safe to
predict that 1t will assume its old
time place as a favorite with we'll
dressed women.
From the fat double violet In satin
or velvet to the single tremulous pur-
pie flower nodding on it's threadlfke
stalk, as 1t grows wild in the fields,
the product of the handiwork of the
French flowermaker, all sorts will be
seen
No domestic product equals the fine
French violets; so natural are the
latter that one almost leans to In
hale their fragrance. Always are these
done in the single flowers.
OF course, some of the velvet gar
den violets also come from France,
but the thicker, clumsier flowers are
also made here.
Lilacs in white and their own Law
ender hues, and in yellow as well, will
be used with roses and violets.
Wistaria is again to be much used,
and fine wistaria in natural tones is
one of the most artistic possible trim
mings for large, fiat hats.
Fine wistaria blooms are expensive;
the cheap should never-under any cir
cumstances-be used. They are made
in all cOlors.
Roses, as usual, will be used galore,
and pansies, too, in wonderful new
tones will be seen.

FROZEN SILAGE.
If Properly Cared for 1t Need Not Be
Thrown Away.

It is desirable to prevent the freez.
ing of silage in the silo during cold
weather as far as possible. For this
reason the silo of a construction to
prevent freezing to the largest degree
is the preferable one, other things be-
ing equal 1t is difficult co make a
comparison between the merits of the
various types in this respect owing to
the inability to find them under like
conditions. Freezing of silage is due
to loss of heat; first, through the silo
wall; and second, to the air in con-
tact with the feeding surface.
1t may be impartially said that, as
far as the prevention of freezing is
concerned, the stave, stone, single
wall brick and concrete silos are of
about equal merit.
The second cause of freezing men
toned, that is, the loss of heat from
the silage surface, is too often the
cause of unnecessary freezing. If air
above the silage is confined, no seri-
Gus loss of heat can possibly take
place. When the top of the silo is open
and a free circulation of air permitted,
it is almost impossible to prevent the
surface from freezing in severe
weather. A personal investigation OF
silos in cold weather proved con-
clusively that those provided with a
tight roof did not contain nearly as
much frozen silage as those left open.
The freezing of silage does not nee
essarily mean loss, as it may be
thawed out and made fit for feeding
and when properly attended to need
not rot or mold The frozen silage
may often be thawed by mixing with
the warm silage at the center of the
silo. It is generally considered danger

An lmprovIsed Rack.

One ingenious housekeeper has hit
upon a novel rack for her back bath
room, much used by the children. She
unscrewed the curved wooden han
die of an old umbrella, bored a hole
through the upper part for a hanger
and stuck small screw hooks in the
handle at intervals. A large wooden
spool was slipped on the cut off part
of the handle for an ornament and
was covered with several coats of gilt
paint. al
This rack, when hung on the wall
made convenient holder for towels
washrags and some of the smaller
hooks were even utilized for tooth
brushes.

ManoeIs for Cows.

A dairyman who has heard of the
value Of beet pulp for feeding dairy
COWS writes that he is thinking Of
leaving his farm in central Kansas
and locating near a sugar beet factory
in order that he may get beet pulp
for his COWS. We would advise, says
Wallace's Farmer, the farmer not to
move but grow mangels. An acre will
produce all the mangels needed for ten
TO twelve cows.

Chasinq the Polar Bear.

A polar bear chase Is not very dan

a bear than to catch a rabbit between
hedges, because in spite of his ferocity
the bear knows very little about de-
Tending himself against man, armed as
man is nowadays Besides, the arctic
bear does not recognize man as such
and takes him, for the most part, for
seal. The pilot among the hunters,
perched In his crows nest on the mast
Of the vessel and provided with huge
telescope. can distinguish In clear
weather a bear FIVE kilometers off or
farther, so the hunter has time to
watch his prey and to prepare his plan
of attack. One can have splendid
hunts on the icebergs as well. Some
times the bear takes to the water to
escape. In this case he is lost, for he
cannot swim as quickly as a boat can
follow, and the hunter can kill him al
most without running any risks. 1t Is
fact worthy OF remark that one ball
will do 1t If well placed-that is to say.
