Skim Milk.

At the West Virginia experiment
station it has been found that skim
milk for feeding laying hens is worth
from ~ to cents a quart. Other
experiments have fully proved that it
has equally as great value for feed
ing pigs.
Figuring at this rate. the milkman
who sells whole milk is selling from
so to so cents worth of skim milk to
each can, and the general market
prices of can of milk is close around
SIPS. Now, this can of milk contains
enough cream to make four pounds
of butter, which is worth about 81,
leaving only about 25 cents for the
skim milk sold, or loss of from 80
to 80 cents on each can over making
the cream into butter and feeding the
skim milk. Also, when the milk is
fed on the farm more fertilizer is
made. which makes the difference
still greater in favor of keeping and
feeding the skim milk.
Where inc can secure select trade
for whole milk at extra price it will
pay to sell the whole milk and buy
extra feeds and fertilizers, but sell
ing whole milk at less than 81 for a
40-quart can is not profitable when
one considers the future of the land
on which he is dairying.

IN A PYTHON'S COIL.

NNNNNNNNNO

The attendants in geological gardens
are exposed to dangers of various
sorts. The superintendent of the Gin
cinnati animal park once had an adj
venture with a python which came
near costing him his life.
1t became necessary to make some
changes in the snake house, and the
superintendent, Mr.. Stephens, was in
he cage of pythons. anticipating -
danger, when to his dismay he saw
the largest snake coming toward him,
kissing and darting its tongue angrily
Instantly he realized his danger.
The superintendent quickly grasped
the huge reptile just back of the neck
with his right hand, and with the left
clutched the creature two feet lower
down, where tn, greatest muscular
power of the python is located.
He tried to thrust the writing
mass into a waiting box, but the
python coiled its twelve feet of length
round the mans leg, and began to con-
strict, carrying its tightening coils
higher and higher.
Struggle as he might, Mr.. Stephens
seemed helpless in the serpent's grasp.
His hands were so moist that the
scaly body twisted in them. Perspira-
ton streamed from his face. The
python had worked its head free and
was darling its horrid tongue almost
in its victims face.
The man threw up his hand instinc'
lively to shield his face. and at the
same moment the snake seized and
began swallowing it.
BY this time the attendants had
rushed into the cage, and they began
beating the python. Not liking this
treatment, the big snake relaxed its
coils. Mr.. Stephens jerked his hand
free, and broke off one of the python's
fangs in his thumb In so doing.
IF | had not held on TO its heaviest
muscle" said the superintendent, Il
have no doubt it might have strangled
me. AS long as L kept my grip there
| felt confident, but | was pretty weak
after the adventure"

Dairying I'm Winter.

There are many advantages in hav-
ing COWS come fresh in winter, when
all dairy products sell at a high price.
In many places the price of butter
is from 25 to so per cent higher in
winter than in summer.
When the COWS calve in the spring
they generally milk we'll until the pas
lures dry up, when the flow of milk
quickly falls off, so that by the time
stable feeds begin the COWS are almost
dried up. Now, If the cows come fresh
in the fall, they produce a good flow
of milk during the winter months,
and In the spring. when they are
turned on the grass, this acts as a
second freshening and thus lengthens
the period of milk production.
Another distinct advantage in win
ter dairying Is that during this sea-
son the farmer is not so busy with
other work, consequently he can give
more time to the care of the cows,
the milk and the cream than is posi-
bic during the busy season of the
more generally practiced, the subject
of winter feeds will be given more at
tention. OF these silage is one of the
most important, since one acre of good
silage material will yield as much feed
as three acres of pasture.

bathed in the cool, fresh water, and
Falsehood, emerging first, clothed
herself in the garments of Truth and
went her way But Truth, unwilling
to put on the garb of Falsehood, de-

hood wears Truths fair white robes,

Keeping sweet Potatoes.

There are several different methods
for storing and keeping sweet potatoes
which have proved successful. Po-
tatoes, when first dug, have a large
amount of moisture in them, which
must evaporate. When the weather is
good they should be left out in the
field until this evaporation is COM
plete; otherwise the moisture and the
intense heat generated by their drying
in hill will cause rot. When this Is
not possible they should be piled loose
ly in a dry house for a week or two
They may then be stored in the loft
of building or in a room, where the
temperature will be such that they do
not freeze.
