THIRTY-FIVE COWS TO so ACRES.
In response to the question of how
many cows can be supported on an
eighty-acre farm devoted chiefly to
dairying, one of our Illinois corre-
spondents says that with the silo, in
which he stores his corn and fodder
with a due proportion to pasture, he
finds that -he&can support thirty-fve
cows. His cows average him in milk
and butter sold $3.50 each per year.
He writes that he is still improving
his cows and expects to get them up
to gross average of $10o yearly. He
carries enough silage into the sum-
mer feeding to meet the dry season
and thus to keep up the milk flow.
He says that he feeds all of his skim
milk fresh from the cream separator
to pigs, with some bran and cornmeal
which he buys, and finds this part Of
his dairy work also profitable. He is
now considering the question of add
ing milking machine to his dairy
outfit to overcome the labor and trou-
BILE in milking. He says that he finds
the dairy business very exacting, as
everything has to be done in it's time,
but that it is the most profitable pur-
pose to which he could put his farm,
and that he is also improving its pro-
ductiveness by dairying. Indiana

BIRDS AS INSECT ENEMIES.

Insect enemies are almost always
present in sufficient numbers to do
considerable damage If they are not
kept in check by their enemies. One
OF the best regulators of insect life
is the birds. In the winter months
the trees are thoroughly searched by
chickadees, etc, which pick up insect
eggs and tear open cocoons and nests.

PHILADELPHus spEcLosUs.

There is probably no better known
or more generally useful shrub than
the mock orange, philadelphus, or
as some still call it, the syringa.
There are many species and varieties
the best known being p. coronarius,
and all are splendid Towering SHRUBS,
blooming with the greatest freedom.
p. speclosus is larger Towering
form than p. coronarius, but equally
sweet scented and even more beauti-
full. 1t habit is closer and more COM
pact than that of P. coronarius, and
it flowers later in the season 1t is
a splendid lawn shrub, and large
masses of it Towering in July are a
very distinct and beautiful feature
anywhere. Equally as hardy as the
common mock orange, 1t may sbe
planted with perfect safety anywhere,
but is seen at its best as a single
clump on the lawn, where it may be
easily kept in shape by a little cut

speclous is not particular as to soil,
but naturally makes a better growth
and produces finer flowers where the

USEFUL THINGS TO KNOW.

Hold the under sides of these hot lit.

lard and before pouring in the cake
batter dredge the bottom Of the tins
with flour, shaking out all that does

batter poured in on this dry -four will
rarely stick to the pan after it is

THE SIMPLE LIFE LEFT BEHIND.
Mankind Has Created Con- p!ications
Hard to Go Away with.

1t is easy to talk about the simple
life and so hard to 1--we l., for life is
not simple any more. It's complica
tics seem unavoidable.
rho trouble lies in ourselves; the
entire trend of womaHly sentiment is
away from the things the centuries
held dear.
1t was not so hard to keep life sim
pie when ones best back silk did
duty for decade. Nowadays if the
silk didn't cut into ribbons the cut
of the garment would mean the Pat oh
box in at least two seasons
1t is the craze for something new
tfat is the undoing of simplicity
Novelty is the keynote of most of our
lives. Even friendships and matri
mony are getting infected with this
microbe Of restlessness.
A mother said not long ago: Baby
Louise is so finnicky she will only
play with her toys two or three times
before she is tired of them and have
to send them off to the hospital.
And the mother seemed to think
that it showed a progressive spirit in
her child. Such a craving for novelty
can mean nothing but unhappiness. no
matter what ones ability to crafty
1t.
IF we are ever to become simple
again without some dire calamity fore.
ing it upon our country. we must
change our views Of much that we
now think progressive.
We will have to learn to draw
sharp distinction between orr necessi
ties and our frills. A woman who is
noted for her restfulness and her
placidity in the midst Of a hard life
was asked how she managed to keep
unfretted.

POINTS OUT. DANGER IN EGGS,
Should Be Cooked to Avoid Possibility
of Infection by Them.

IL mas long been known that milk
may be vehicle for the diphtheria
germ, but eggs have not until recently
Deen suspected of having any part in
the communication of this noisome
mflady. A recent number of the Lon
don Lancet contains a startling COM
munlcation from DR.. Sambon, one Of
the professors in the London School
OF tropical Medicine, In which it Is
SHOWN that fowls as we'll as birds are
SUBJECT to dfphtheria, and that eggs
otten contain virulent germs of this
disease and may easily be the means
OF spreading the disease. The doctor
claims that he has even found active
diphtheria germs in an egg at his own
breakfast table.
IN view of these facts, says Good
Health. 1t is apparent that eggs must
De invariably cooked to AVOID the dan
ger or infection. Raw eggs are unques.
uonably quite as dangerous as raw
milk. or possibly even more so. The
egg Is doubtless much more often q
source or serious illness than Is gen.
orally supposed. A stale egg or a sick
or injected egg may be the cause of
sudden nausea, vomiting and purging.
the real cause Of which may not be
suspected. Certainly the egg is very
far from being the safe and innocent
iood which 1t has so long enjoyed the
reputation of being. Various species
OF germs have been found inside the
snells which were apparently fresh. 1t
Is known that germ may be picked up
and included in the egg during it's
transit along the oviduct OF the fowl
and that germs may penetrate the egg
after 1t Is laid.
