That every tongue, trembling, be-

The eye to look upon her doth not

Come down to earth to show a marvel

So grateful seems the vision from

The heart drinks sweetness from the

delicate spirit. breathing full of love,
Which ever biddeth the rapt soul to

Reclaiming Washed Land.

l had about one acre of washed
clay land on one side of a good field.
1t was absolutely devoid of vegeta.
ton, had been left out for a number
of years after wasting fertilizer upon
it, and was an eyesore. Early in the
spring | crossed it with burrows about
feet apart. In these burrows |
dropped wild blackberry roots, one
about every feet. l dropped a fork
full of stable manure next to each root,
partially covering 1t, and covered the
whole with one furrow made with the
turn plow. In the next furrow |
dropped small pine tops and partially
covered them with the plow. l went
over all the land in the same way.
The work required three days for two
men and team. The following spring
l plowed out the middles. This was
five years ago, and l have not touched
the land since. l have gathered two
good crops Of blackberries and the
land Is now covered with heavy berry
bushes and a good wild grass sod,
with no wash to speak of.-G. M.

churned the better. In small dairies,
where several separator skimmings
are required to make up the quantity
Of cream for churning, the cream
should never be run from the separa-
tor into the vessel holding previous
skimmings. One needs a cream can of
sufficient size to hold all that is re-
quired to make up the churning. and
such vessels should be kept in a place
where the temperature is about 60
degrees. Each skimming should be
cooled before being emptied into this
storage can. When fresh cream Is
emptied 1t should be at once thoroug-
ly incorporated with the contents of
the can by stirring with a spoon or
ladle. Churning should not take place
within five or six hours after the last
cream has thus been added.-Field and

Intensive Dairy Farming.


The question is often asked how
many cows certain number Of acres
will support. By the question Is
meant that the entire energy Of the
farm is to be devoted to raising food
for the dairy COW. A farm in good
state of fertility can be easily arrang-
ed so that one could keep a COW
to every two acres II the land Is all
good. rich, tillable land. And one
would be able to raise both the forage
or bulky part of the ration, and the
grain ration, too. It could be done
In few years time with the proper
handling of the herd on the farm.
Three crops upon the farm will do
it-frst, corn; second, clover hay, and,
third, peas and oats. OF course, the
clover sod would be plowed down for
corn and then the corn ground be put
into peas and oats the following sea-
son. With these three foods one can
make balanced ration for the dairy
COW without purchasing any other out
side food, either concentrated or
bulky.
The statement has often been made
that an acre OF good land will sup
port cow the year around. One
dairyman made the remark that he
could keep two cows on an acre, but
practically the man who keeps one
COW on two acres is doing very good
business If he gets fair prices for the
product. 1t is fact that the demand
for milk, butter and cheese is increas-
Ing faster than cows and the prices
are continually advancing. There is
no better business than dairying.-

Beet Culture Wanes.

Comment has arisen over the appar.
ent decadence of sugar-beet culture in
the farming section about Toledo,
Ohio. Where few years ago a dozen
fields could be seen without travelling
more than mile or two, now scarcely
one exists. A farmer reported he saw
but one field between Toledo and Mon
roe, though only a few years ago this
section produced heavily. Several fac
tors have arisen to work against beet
raising. In the first place, labor and
care considered, the present high.
priced cereals are considerably more
profitable; again, farmers have begun
to learn that beets> tax soil vitality
about as heavily as any crop, and.
unless fertilizing elements are constant.
ly applied the land invariably suffers.
Complaint is also made of difficulty in
marketing the output.

Bitter Butter.

Bitter cream and butter may and
generally does result after the COW has
been feeding literally on moldy
hay, decaying roots and certain weeds.
Another fruitful source Of bitter cream
and butter Is the holding of the cream
at too low temperature, when objec-
tionable bacteria get in their work,
causing a pungent or bitter flavor.
For best results cream should be cool
ed and held at temperature of about
80 degrees for six or seven hours i'm
mediately after separation. after which
1t should be ripened in temperature
Of from 60 to 70 degrees. When 1t
begins to turn sour 1t Is ready to be
churned. and then the sooner 1t la

According to William butcher, pres

United States, birds save to the farm

the plume hunters recognize no closed

Mr.. Cohen would like to have done
so very much, as the wish to be hero
that day had entirely departed from
him. Before, however, he had fairly
started for Mr.. Philipstein, who now
was only few yards ahead, the lat
ter had given a groaning cry and
fallen with splash into the river.
Mr. Cohen echoed the groan. He just
remembered that he had not prepared
for jumping into the water and was
wearing his costly Sunday suit with
his gold watch and that goodly roll
of bills was in his pocket, which sure
ly would be spoiled by the water. He
began to take off his coat with no en-.
thusiasm.
Miss Goldwasser screamed: Help
him! Get him OUT"
Mr.. Cohen reluctantly approached
the edge. Mr.. Phillipstein had come
to the surface and was treading water
and floating along with the tide. He
had on an old suit, and instead Of a
coat wore a tight-ftting sweater.
Save me-" he said, and waved en-
couragingly to Pincus.
With despair in his heart Mr.. Cohen
threw down his coat, handed his roll
of bills to Miss Goldwasser and care
fully entered the water. To make 1t
realistic Mr.. Phillipstein clutched him
with what he imagined was the grip of
drowning man and whispered: "Ill
sink again and pull you down with
me. You are doing fine, only show
little more energy. You act like you
was afraid"
Whereupon Mr.. Phillipstein sank
into the water and dragged the fren-
zied Plncus, who was fair swimmer
but hated the water, along with him
When they arose Mr.. Cohen gave a
loud cry. Miss Goldwasser was rum

In her hand which she had picked up
and which she was trying to reach
out to the struggling men.
"Just to make 1t seem more like
the real thing said Mr.. Phillipstein,
who was playing his part with much
enjoyment and zeal, "I'll let go Of you,
go out a few feet and sink again.
Then you got to dive for me, grab me
by the hair and pull me ashore. I like
to bet you win her sure"
And he again cried for help, and
pushed out and sank, gasping and yell.
ing for help.
Mr. Cohen had gone as far as he
could or dared. He was more than
ten feet from shore, weighed dcwr by
his clothing, almost exhausted and
afraid to venture out any farther.
He turned and struck out for the
land, disregarding Miss Goldwasser's
cries to help the sinking man back Of
him. Mr.. Cohen found he could make
no headway toward shore. Then sud-
denly his courage left him and little
hysterical panic came upon him.
Get me OUT" he cried. I'm los
ing myself. l can't keep up any
longer"
Mr. Phillipstein took two strong
strokes and reached the side OF the
scared Pincus. Supporting him with
one hand he swan to land with the
other. He dragged Pincus out on the
bank and laid him down. The latter
was fully conscious, and shame and
fury because OF his weakness and cow
aIdice possessed him.
"Herol" said Miss Goldwasser, in a
rapture.

Texas Senator Makes Bit
ter Attack on Heads of
Big Corporations.
Denounces the Doctrine OF
Free Admission Of
Raw Material.
(By United Press Leased wire.)

WASHINGTON, d. c., June "a.
-Denouncing the doctrine of free
admission to the country of raw
material, Senator ]. w. Bailey OF
Texas, in the senate today made a
savage attack upon the trusts, as
serting that the only means OF
destroying them is to send their
organizers and operators to the
penitentiary.
"The doctrine of free raw mate
rial is unjust and undemocratic, .
asserted Bailey. Instead of II
being the policy of the democratic
party 1t was never accepted until
1885"
He then traced the history oi
the tariff to prove his assertion
and continuing said:
"The proposition to exempt
manufacturers from the payment
! of moderate duty ON raw mate
! rial is unjust and unequal. When
. the tariff is removed from raw
! material 1t becomes necessary to
increase the tariff on other arti.
cles in order to raise the reve-
nues."
After dwelling for some time on
this phase of the tariff, Bailey
took up his attack on the trusts.
"If l were attorney general OF
the United States," he declared
"I would sue to dissolve the
United States Steel corporation
Nothing would result to curb the
rapacity of that trust from placing
iron ore on the free list.
The only means of destroying
the trusts and preventing the for.
nation of others is to send theiI
organizers and operators to the
penitentiary."
