DAIRY NOTES.

The dairy cows ration should be
governed by her ability to turn it to
profit.
Strong, thrifty calves cannot be ex
pected from cows that have been fed
starvation rations for a few months
before calving.
Certain foods known to possess lax
ative qualities should have a place in
every dairyman's ration for his cows,
especially If dry foods are largely
utilized in feeding them
The milker who will thump a COW
for squirming under the attack of flies
ought to be hoisted out of the barn
on the toe of the dairyman's boots.
Why should the hired man be ex-
pected to work ten hours or more in
the harvest field and then while hot
and dirty, tackle the milking job?
In some states, the law is that all
milk after July l must be pasteurized
before leaving the creamery. In Den
mark, milk is pasteurized at all times.
Need not expect cows to keep UP the
milk flow during the tail-end of sum.

crops to feed. Dead grass does not

1t is just as wasteful to feed too
little as 1t is to feed to much, and
wasteful methods cannot be afforded
now by anyone.

KEEP THE CLOSETS CLEAN
Point Of Importance That 10 Too rre'
quently Overlooked by tho
Busy Housewife.

Usually there are about :he house
closets 80 dark that except at tne
yearly or semi-yearly housecieaning II
is Impossible to tell whether or not
they are dirty. They are breeders ol
disease, even In the best-manageu
households, for no maid and few mis-
tresses will crawl into the dark hole
under the stairs or back in the Kitten
an after perfectly invisible dust.
One solution of the problem is To
paint these closets white, ceiling, moor
aud walls. 1t Is easy enough to see
iirt then, and the other and more use
Iul contents of the closet as well. III
one can keep the hall closet clean ana
ind the family overshoe on sight, SIM
ply by painting the closet white, then
BY all means let us hasten to the paint
shop and remove the obsolete ana nor
ribe wall paper that usually incum-
bers these germ hotels.
If the closet is still dark after this
treatment try cleaning with the aid
Of the electric flash light. There Is
no danger of fire and corners can be
closely investigated. All of which Is
an advantage to the housewife VINO
does not love dirt and disorder.
But always, when cleaning day
comes, consider first the closets and,
most important of all of these is the
sloping, dark. neglected closet under
the stairs.

In most cases the orchardist ought
to employ disinterested person to do
his packing.
Line the fruit basket with burlap,
two or three thicknesses, to prevent
bruising and scratching.
In yellow apples the only test Of
ripeness is the seeds. When they
have turned light brown 1t is time
to pick.
1t is safe to leave red apples several
days after the seeds indicate ripeness
because the warm, mellow days Of
autumn adds to their ripeness and
beauty.
1t is not generally known that all
varieties of Japanese plums are sterile

"DRY FARMING" is MIsNoMER
Wrong Impression OF Term Taken by
Surprisingly Large Number Of
Western Homeseekers.

1t is reported from the recent ses-
sion of the Dry Farming congress at
Billings, Mont, that a great railway
system threatened to withdraw finan'
cial support from the congress unless
1t found better name for itself than
Dry Farming congress. The argument
was that the name was misleading as
to the purpose of the organization,
which is, briefly, to promote scien-
tihc soil cultivation Of those sections
of the west that have no desire to ir-
rigate or means of irrigation says
Pacific Monthly. A surprisingly large
number of prospective western home
seekers have somehow gained the
impression that dry" farming means
just what 1t says, and that when we
speak of dry farming land we essen.
TALLY mean absolutely arid land; and
when we speak of dry farming crop
we mean a crop that has no moisture
thirst and that would grow as well in
the middle OF Sahara as anywhere
elseS OF course those who have taken
the trouble to investigate the matter
Wv iSoos pit hhOW tudt Qly ldl ullub
Is only a relative term-and term
that could as we'll be applied to a
semihumid section as a semiarid one.
Indeed, in many instances the dry
farming land of the west receives
more moisture during the growing
season than do some of the further
east socalled humid sections. There
are many sections of the socalled dry
farming west that receive from 10 to
80 inches of rainfall during the year
an ample amount of moisture to
grow the common crops of the west
If only little care Is used in con-
serving this moisture. The dry farm
ing movement, then, is an attempt to
demonstrate methods of conserving
moisture and making the best pos
sible use Of it. 1t should be remem
bered, too, that perhaps as many or
more crops have Seen ruined by too
much moisture as by too little. One
of the hardest facts to impress upon
the new irrigationist of the west is
that there is q maximum amount Of
water that can be used on his land,
to prevent crop injury. The mini.
mum amount Of moisture necessary to
successful agriculture Is decreasing
prUportlonally to the advance of the
scientific dry-farming movement
