HINTS FOR FARMERS
The Prize Winninu Milk.

The gold medal certified milk at the
national dairy show was produced
from herd made up principally of
grade Shorthorns, with a few grade
Holsteins. The building in which the
cows were stabbed was a single story,
with concrete and glass sides, plaster
ed ceiling, concrete floors, individual
watering device and modern system
of ventilation. Previous to milking
the fore milk was drawn into a small
cup at the side of the milk pail. The
pail had a small aperture over which
was drawn sterile cheesecloth, a
fresh cloth being used for each COW.
The milk was promptly removed from
the barn and run over a cooler and
bottled as quickly as possible. The
feeds used were those ordinarily ap-
proved for cattle, cottonseed meal and
silage being used moderately.

Corn Cultivation.

The corn plant will not thrive among
weeds nor In hard packed dry SOIL
writes Kansas farmer in American
Agriculturist. The object of cultiva-
ton is to keep the soil in proper con-
dition for the growth of the corn. The
weeds will all be rooted up In properly
cultivating the corn. 1t is not essential
as to how deep or how shallow or how
often the corn is cultivated as it is
that 1t is cultivated when 1t needs it.
Especially after every heavy rain the
soil is packed and should be stirred as
soon as dry enough. Cultivation must
continue during the whole growing
season and not stop with the third or
fourth time over. The larger varieties
especially must be cultivated with one
horse after the corn is too big for the
two horse cultivators.

COST OF INDUSTRIAL LIFE lNSUR-

BY THE PRUDENTIAL.
Great Life Insurance Company Vol
unfairly Adds over sac, 100000
in Additional Benefits to
IudustriRI Policies.


unfairly Adds over sec, 100000
in Additional Benefits to
Industrial Policies.
Voluntary concessions aggregating
over $40, 100000 additional benefits to
Industrial policies already in force,
and increasing the amount of benefits
to all similar policies issued after July
LIST, briefly states the effect Of an Inn
portant and far reaching announce
ment just made by the Prudential In
surance company through President
John f. Dryden.
For years it has been the practice Of
the Prudential to add to the benefits
already granted to policyholders, CIV
ing more insurance than the contracts
called for whenever experience has
demonstrated that it could safely be
done The constant aim of the Off
GERS of the Prudential is to give the
most and the best for the least. Close
and careful study is given every fea-
ture of the company'S great business.
The gains made in different depart
ments each year, the earning power
of the company's assests,, decrease in
mortality, ETC., as compared with
what was expected, are all carefully
ScrutiniZed. In this way the Pruden-
tial is able from time to time to grant
increased benefits TO pol;cyholderS,
giving them the advantage obtained
through these savings, even though
no legal obligation so to do exists I'M
der the policy contracts
According to the announcement just
made, on all Industrial policies issued
after July 1st the benefits will be in
creased by an amount averaging more
than ten per cent, thus giving all new
Industrial policyholders more insur-
ance for less money than ever hitherto
granted.
In furtheraDce of this liberal prac-
tice the Prudential has also made
these concessions etroactive-tha is,
applicable TO similar policies issued
since the beginning of the year 1907
and in force on the 1St of July of this
year, thus enabling holders Of old pol
icieS to share in the increased benefits
granted to the new.
1t is to be remembered that the
Prudential issued these policies upon
the non-participating plan and that
there was no obligation whatever to
pay one dollar of benefit in excess Of
the amounts called for under the con-
tracts, and that these concessions
have been entirely voluntary and were
extended by the company In its usual
spirit of liberality and fairness to pol
icyholders.
The Prudential has already made
voluntary concessions to its Industrial
policyholders, amounting to more than
Sl1, 200, 900, and this retroactive fea-
ture of its new liberal benefits will add
over 5000 900, 600 more to this remark
able sum, not to speak of the many,
many millions more that will enSue to
prospective policyholders.

What has become, can any one tell.
OF the good old fashioned girl
Who cared not at all for party or ball

Who was early to bed and early to rise.
Who welded the mop and the broom,
Who busted the chairs and swept down

And took all the care of her room?
What has become of the shy, sweet maid
Who loved her work better than play,

Alas and alack, where has she gone?

She hasn't gone far but her pa and ma
Won't let her do such things now.

The AiIanthus Tree.

Ailanthus trees are not very attrac-
tive in appearance, especially when
young, and many Of them, though not
all, give off an unpleasant odor during
their time of bloom, yet they possess
advantages that more than counter
balance their poor qualities. In the
first place, they grow very rapidly on
the poorest soil and also under ad-
verse conditions. They spread fast,
and In a comparatively short time
there will be good growth Of wood
on piece Of ground planted to allan
thus or where they have grown up nat
urally that might be useless otherwise.

A Ruinous Practice.

The practice of using beef bull on
a herd of dairy cows for the purpose
of improving the vealing qualities of
the calves usually results in con-
fused mixture Of dairy and beef quail
ties in the working herd itself. Such
a system is finally disastrous to the
dairy interests, for 1t is not only bar
rier to Improvement, but effectually
blocks the transmission Of what desir-
able or exceptional qualities may be
represented in the herd.
