Fat Foods and Their Uses,

1t is impossible to say what will
please in the way of fat food. The only
way is to experiment, feeling sure
that the right thing will eventually
appear. When commonplace fat Of
tends, something new and strange
will often inspire respect and be re-
ceived with delight. Children who
scorn fat in the abstract seldom re-
fuse a light, well made suet pudding.
Toast and dripping is a combination
that has been known to charm when
less humble fare is declined. Toffec,
which is a combination of equal parts
of sugar and melted butter, is high
~ nutritious substance that is a gen.
eral favorite among children. Given
at the end of meal, it can seldom
do hasm. Equal parts Of chopped fat
meat, lean meat and bread crumbs,
the whole lightly seasoned with pep
per and salt and a dash of powdered
sugar, make an agreeable filling for
sandwiches that are often acceptable
to those who insist that they do not
like fat.-Dr. L. F. Bryson in Harper's
Bazaar.

Farm Notes.

Comfortable quarters for the cows
and good silo are important factors
in butter making.
A 4erd of high-grade cows, well fed
and we'll cared for, Is the starting
point in making high-grade butter.
Good butter can be made in the
kitchen, but separator and special
dairy room Is almost essential in
modern butter making
SKINNED milk is worth about fif-
teen cents a hundred pounds to feed
to pigs from weaving up to weight
of 125 pounds.
The old-time spring house is no
longer an indispensable factor in
farm butter making. The separator
has made it unnecessary in most
cases.
Butter should come granular If it
is to be of high grade. Butter which
comes pasty is never of high quality.
The cream was too warm when it was
churned.
Don't work a misftting collar. A
sore or swelled shoulder will most
certainly result. Then your horse will
be on the pasture when you need him
at the pillow.
An occasional pinch of saltpeter
mixed with the salt given work hors-
es during hot weather will be found
beneficial-it is cooling and will keep
their kidneys active.
The old-fashioned dasher churn has
now gone into disuse except for very
small amounts of cream. Barrel and
power churns are easier to handle
and give more satisfactory results.
A good article deserves an attrac-
tive package. The different size butter
tubs should be nicely lined with para
fin paper. Usually the home butter
maker can sell his product to better
advantage in pound cakes.
Separation is a much cheaper and
more efficient method of Dreaming
than skimming. These hand separa-
tors are valuable for small diaries.
Send to each manufacturer for his
catalogue, then choose the machine
best adapted to your needs.

Kinu Edward as Metronome.

A very wise decision has been ar
rived at by King Edward with regard
to the national anthem. He has
now expressed his desire that STAN
GARD of tempo should be adopted so
that whenever it is played it will al
ways be taken at exactly the same
time. This matter. trivial as it may
seem, has long occupied the mind OF
the Duke OF Connaught, by whom 1t
was brought before the King, and for
the change that he has thus brought
about the public no less than his own
family owe him much thanks.
Hitherto it has been a. the discre-
ton Of every ban1master or conductor
Of an orchestra to take the nationai
anthem fast or slow, and generally
speaking it has been dragged rather
than FASTENED with somewhat dirge-
like effect. Henceforth it is to be
sung briskly and joyfully. and we
shall always know the moment the
first note is heard exactly how we are
to sing it. That it Is in a sense a
prater does no. necessitate funereal
tempo.-Lady's Pictorial.

Personally, prefer the thorough

Well Ventilated Coops.

Coops for chicks often do not afford
sufficient ventilation, particularly af-
ter the chicks are almost half grown
or larger. A number Of chicks OF
this size huddled together in one
small coop will generate a great deal
of heat and moisture during a warm
night, and unless this can escape and
permit fresh air to enter, the chicks
will soon suffer. When confined in a
close coop, the chicks will emerge in
the morning presenting a dragged ap-
pearance and with their feathers al
most as wet as If they had been out
in shower OF rain. When the coops
are well ventilated, this condition
does not exist, and the young birds
thrive better. Fresh air is invigorat-
ing and leads to health and thrift.
AS the natural tendency of heat is
upward, the openings for ventilation
should be near the top of the coop.
This arrangement also prevents
draughts of air. Holes at the front
and the back of the coops near the
up VIII 6lNC lltC vi /,
without any danger of draughts strik-
ing the chicks directly. On unusually
warm nights it may be necessary to
leave the front of the coop entirely
open in order that the young birds
may not get too warm. If there are
rats or cats around this is hardly a
safe plan. Doors of wire netting may
be put on the coops, however, to
avoid this danger. Any one can soon
learn by little experimenting wheth-
er their coops provide sufficient ven
tilation or not. After the chicks have
settled down for the night, place one
hand inside the coop through a small
opening. If the air feels unusually
moist and warm, one may know that
insufficient ventilation is provided.
No matter how well ventilated a
coop may be, it is impossible for the
air 10 be pure and healthful unless the
coop is kept clean. If filth accumu-
lates unhealthful odors will be thrown
off which ventilation will not entire
ly remove, so the coops should be
kept clean.-W. +. p. In the Indiana
Farmer.

much to raise her.
The large, beefy animal eats large
quantity of hay and comes to matur-
ity several months later than the Jer-
sey. This, as | see it, evens things up
between the large animal and the

ate a third the most hay and gave a
third the more milk, but she did not

did not make so much. 1t would not
take a mathematician long to figure
out who was the most profitable COW,
or to figure out how long it would
take the large animal to eat up the
extra money that her body would
bring for beef
1t is possible to breed the Jerseys
much larger than the prevailing size.
Their early maturity and the using or
immature breeding stock all tends to
keep the size down. Raising stock
from the largest animals and keep
ing a good male until he iS several
years old, instead of keeping him
only till two years old, as is nearly
always the case, would improve their
vigoy and their size.
They are such gentle, peaceable an

not help becoming attached to them.
