THE IDEAL SERVANT.

London Council Embarks Upon an
Ambitious Training Scheme.
Ideal homes should include the per-
feet domestic, says the London Daily
News The London County Council
are endeavoring to assist in the output
of young servants properly trained,
and quite recently the Council have
instituted scholarships for domestic
servants. Now new departure is sug-
gested.
The project under consideration by
the Council is to provide a home in
the country near London in which to
train girls, under a suitable and quail
flied staff, how to cook, clean, wait,
how to dust, wash up, iron and look
after the baby.
The credit for this innovation is
shared with the Ragged School Union,
who have a charming piece of ground
extending to about three acres at Ad-
discombe, in Surrey.
It is suggested that the County
Council might board some three dozen
, girls here in three cottages, with a
view to turning them out as the ideal
domestic servant.
If the proposal meets with the ap.
proval of the Government at White
hall the privilege of being allowed tc
undergo the training will probably be
confined to deserving girls who live II
one of the poorest districts of Soutf
London.
The fortunate candidates, who viii
be selected by their teachers from
among residents Of Walworth, will liv,
at the home, will receive twelv,
months tuition in cookery, laundry
housewifery and domestic economy
= and at the same time will receiv
suitable clothes and pocket money
The expenses will be mostly born
from voluntary sources.

The Department of Agriculture has

were undertaken to see II It paid to
feed cottonseed meal when COWS had
an abundance of green feed. In the
former test the cottonseed meal gave
five per cent. better returns. but this
was not enough to pay for the extra
cost OF meal. In the second test there
was no increase in the yield of milk.
Using cows pastured at night but
kept up during the day. cottonseed
meal was fed at the barn In COM
parison with the soiling crors. alfal-
IA. sorghum and Johnson grass. In
ten weeks test 1t was found that
forty-one pounds of green feed gave
an average daily yield Of 14.9 pounds
Of milk for each COW. while the lot
fed "a pounds of cottonseed meal
gave 14.2 pounds. The difference in
favor OF green feed would have been
greater II the cows had had no access
to pasture. In a comparison OF large,
medium and small rations with three
lots OF cows. receiving respectively
thirteen pounds, ten pounds and six
pounds of n grain ration consisting
of wheat bran and cottonseed meal
2:1. the average weekly Yields were
333. S73 and 743 pounds. In the
last case there was also some loss of
body weight. A second test with
three lots OF nine cows each showed
that nine pounds of the mixture
yielded better results than eleven
pounds.
In test of four months with thir-
ty COWS 1t was found that silage re-
suited in a saving of 500 over n
feed OF wheat bran. cottonseed meal
and johnson hay grass.
During hot weather it was found
to be of no advantage to protect COWS
from the heat by keeping them in the
barn. as they were more contented In
shady pasture.
Another experiment showed that
with 149 COWS, the average cost of
feed per cow per month was s4.1O
in the dry feed herds and s3.5O in the
silage fed herds. the average cost of
one gallon of milk being fifteen and
nine cents respectively, and a corre-
sponding cost of one pound of butter
fat Of tventy-nine and twenty cents
respectively.

Where Cotton Docs .Hcst.

Cnquestionably cotton does better
in moderately compact or firm seed
bed. If the land IS to be broken
deeply in the spring 1t should be done
early and the land thoroughly har-
rowed two or three times before
planting. One OF the most successful
cotton growers we know rarely
breaks his land in the spring with
turning plow. The land is we'll
broken the fall before and sowed to
rye or some other cover crop and
then in the spring simply disced and
red:sced until a proper seed bed is
secured. No doubt the cover crop is
an important factor in his success.
but we are much inclined to the oDin-
ion that the firm deep soil with a
fine seed bed of three or folr inches
on top is equally important.

Spurs For Po:Itrymcn.

Sitting hens should be busted with
good insect powder three times
during the hatch.
Skim milk is the best summer egg
producer and has been shown to be
worth one and n half cents per quart
for that purpose.
Corn alone will not make good
chickens or produce a profitable egg
yield. It's value will be greatly in
creased when supplemented by green
and animal feeds.
Chicks may be raised successfully
either by hens or in brooder. If
raised by hens, keep the hens con-
fined to coop for two weeks after
chicks are hatched, allowing the
chicks to run out and in at will.
Use an incubator to hatch early
chicks for market, but hatch breed
ing stocks with hens. If Matched by
hens. care should be taken to keep
them perfectly free from lice. and
even incubator hatched chicks will
get lousy if the brooder is not kept
clean
A comfortable house which is dry
-one that will keep out the rain
and always have dry floor-is a
good investment. Allowing the rain
to get into the house to drown lice
is a poor way of getting rid of them
and will cause other troubles as bad

healthy for any length of time in a

The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was un-
doubtedly that made a month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
OF the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil, instead Of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use Of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types OF cars
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success and. therefore. the
makers OF the White Car. the White
Company, Of Cleveland. Ohio. deter
mined to make public demonstra-
tion OF the new fuel in the 1909 Gid
den Tour.
From the standpoint Of the public,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all. the dis
tance covered on the Glidden Tour,
from Detroit to Denver and thence ts

was certainly more than sufficient to

The complete success OF the new
fuel while on this 2650-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through its use were well described
In the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"A feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal OIL, as fuel instead Of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 265O-mile
journey, and all claims made in It's
behalf were fully proven. First of
all. as regards cheapness. the White
driver secured Kerosene all along the
route from cents to 10 cents cheap

Water For the Bees.

Give the bees plenty of water.
They need great deal and will fly
long distance to get it.
If there is no running stream or
lake of pure water near it is well to
place pail of fresh water near the
apiary every day.
Bees use water to dilute the heavy,
thick honey left over from winter to
make it suitable for the young larvae
and also to make the cell was pliable.
Bees should be protected from the
wind on the north and west by n
close set hedge or high fence.
All weeds should be kept down in
front of the hives. Now a plot six
feet wide and then cut the weeds and
grass close to the ground with hoe.
An hour once a week spent on the
care of the bees will bring larger
returns for the effort than any other
labor on the farm.

lives a few miles out in the country
