Be Gentle to the Cow.

"The COW is an intelligent animal"
says Mrs. Howie, of Elk Grove, Wis.,,
who, like Mrs. Durand, of Lake For
est, ILL.,, is foremost in COW culture
She adds; at is not good form
to be rude to the sensitive cow"
Mrs. Howie is assisting Professor
Hoverstad, of the North Dakota Agri-
cultural College, in his institute work
in the State. She is instructing the
farmers in the temperament of the
COW, and she asserts that the gentle
creature is lacteally responsive to con-
siderate treatment.
At. Mrs. Howie's dairy farm, seven
miles from Milwaukee, each COW is
groomed every day. The bovine is
brushed, washed and her hoofs and
horns polished. "Some people might
laugh at this" says Mrs. HOWE, "but
it has brought results"
The gentling improves the COW 8
self-respect, and self-respect in cows
is profitable to the owner-that is
Mrs. Howies proposition. The COW,
like the prima donna, is possessed
of a temperament, which must be
consulted if maximum results are de-
sired. The COW has a psychology,
but, like the psychologists of every
other living thing, it yields to treat
ment. Mrs. Howie's prescription is
simple. Good, common-sense prin-
ciples. soap, fresh water and kind
ness"
What kindness will do for horses is
notorious. Why not for cows?
This agricultural business every
year becomes more interesting. 1t is
getting fashionable, moreover. The
day of the "rube" is about over. The
farmer is becoming every day more

chemistry, of botany, of zoology. he

CHILD ATE CUTICURA.
Spread Whole Box of 1t on Crackers
Not the Least Injury Resulted
Thus Proven Pure and Sweet.

A New York friend of Cuticura writes:
"My three year old son and heir, after
being put to bed on trip across the At
lantic, investigated the stateroom and To-
Gated box Of graham crackers and box
of Cuticura Ointment. When a search was
made for the box, it was found empty and
the kid admitted that he had eaten the
contents of the entire box spread on the
crackers. 1t cured him of bad cold and
/ don't know what else."
No more conclusive evidence could be
offered that every ingredient of Cuticura
Ointment is ABSOLUTELY pure, sweet and
harmless If it may be safely eaten by a
young child, none but the most beneficial
results can be expected to attend its appli-
cation to even the tenderest skin or
youngest infant.

Caring For the Ram.

The management that should be
given rams, young or old, before and
after service will depend largely on
the size of the flock. If a strong,
well-grown ram lamb runs with a
flock of eight or ten sheep which
have an ample provision of variable
pasture the two may run together
during the season of service and 1t
will not be necessary to feed grain.
The same will be true Of vigorous

Of, say, twelve to twenty ewes. But

WHO OUR JAPANESE
VISITORS ARE

States under the auspices of the Associated Chambers of Commerce
of the Pacific Coast, and their tour will occupy three months in
all. There are fftyeight in the party, of whom thirtynine are
commissioners, and all are men thoroughly representative of the
business, professional and social life of Japan. The party in
cludes one member of the Japanese House of Peers, seven of the
House of representatives, and Others are mayors, bankers, editors
and business and professional men. They come of their own
volition, and not in any government official capacity, and the
object of the tour is a closer knowledge of and acquaintance with
the American people. Since the party landed at San Francisco
they have been given every opportunity for observation and study
in all the many cities they have visited, and have made the most
favorable impression upon their hosts. They will return to Japan
late in November with a stock of information about American life
and enterprise that will have been obtained first hand, and it will
be well utilized. Japan has a genius for learning from other
nations, and the knowledge in this case cannot fail to promote
good relations and mutually advantageous trade interests between
the two confines of the Pacific.

profitable keeping of bees-in a lin
tied way, at least, if not extensively.
There are within the borders of the
United States thousands of good locali-
ties for the apiarist-forest, prairie,
swamp and mountain regions-where
agriculture has not as yet gained a
foothold, either because of remoteness
from markets or the uninyiting char
acter of soil or climate.
This pursuit may also be followed
in or neal towns and, to a limited ex-
tent. in large cities. 1t eve happens in
some instances that bees in cities and
towns find more abundant pasturage
than in country locations which are
considered fair"
The city of Washington, D. G., is said
to be an example of this, as bees
located there do better during the
spring and summer months than those
in the surrounding country. This Is
because of the excellent bee p%asturage
found in the many gardens and parks
and In the nectar-yielding shade trees

Linden trees, rarely seen in the coun-

Neighborhoods to be attractive to
bees should contain some of the fol-

and for their nuts, yield pollen in Feb
ruary and March.
Apricot, peach, pear, plum. cherry,
apple. currant and gooseberry BIOS
sons yield pollen and honey in abund-
ance during April and May. Colonies
of bees that have wintered we'll often
gather during the apple bloom period
twelve to fifteen pounds of surplus
honey of fine quality.
The locust tree, the poplar and the
horsechestnut are all fine honey pro-
ducers in May. The locust yields light
colored, clear honey of fine quality, the
others amber-colored honey of good
body and fair flavor.
Clovers form a favorite pasturage
for the honey bee. The crimson clover,
blossoming in April or May, yields fine,
light-eolored honey; other varieties.
blossoming in May, June or July, give
honey of excellent quality and rich
yellow color.
Asparagus blossoms are greatly in
bee favor during June and July. Dur
ing the same months in the West
alfalfa furnishes a large amount OF
very fine honey. Parsnips, left for seed
and biossoming from June to August,
are greatly liked by the little honey
makers. So is peppermint, when ii
