Cement In Place Of Wood.

The rapidly increasing use Of ce-
ment is worthy Of notice. Twenty years
ago one scarcely heard OF cement ex-
cept in connection with cistern max
ing, but now we see 1t used in build
ings Of all kinds. from poultry houses
to the s~ky-scraping office buildings.
A sidewalk or a stable floor is made
right on the spot, made cheaper and
better than of brick. The venerable
Waldo Brown of oxford. o.. who was
one OF the pioneers in the use of 70
ment for stable and hog house floors.
and his claim that such q floor would
save its cost in ten years in manure
alone is well substantiated by hun
dreds of farmers. For the body or
bottom OF such work Portland cement
is used with eight parts finely broken
stone to n part cement. For the
top or finishing coat one part cement
to two OF clean gravel is the correct
proportion. Many failures are due to
| the fact that the gravel used has been
mixed with loan or earth. and the best
authorities agree that a successful
| Job cannot be made unless clean gravel
Is used.--C. d. Lyon.

Ayrshire, Guernsey and Jersey. Each
Of these breeds has certain charac-
teristics which make it adaptable to
certain conditions, and 1t shall be the
purpose of this article to enumerate
the qualities Of each breed and then
let the reader Judge for himself which
breed Is best suited to his conditions.
The Jersey is the smallest, and least
adaptable for beef of any of the dairy
breeds. The Jersey gives the richest
milk and the smallest amount of any
at the age Of IA months. Jerseys are
noted for the persistence of the dairy
breeds. The Jersey is the earliest
maturing Of any; some heifers have
been known 10 calve before reaching
age at which they yield milk. Cases
are on record where cows. have given
milk for years with only one calf.
One cow gave milk for five years
without refreshening but once. Jerseys
will make a greater amount Of butter
fat out of the same amount of food
than will any other breed. There
are two things which make 1t pos
sible for the Jersey to lead in this
respect. 1t has the least tendency OF
any to con vert the food into body IA,
instead Of %butterfat; in the production
Of a pound of butterfat It does not
have to produce at the same time
so much of the other constituents Of
milk. They are fairly good rustlers
and stand heat better than any Other
breed.
The Guernseys are similar to the
Jerseys in size. form and genera
characteristics. They are larger. &
little coarser and a little more beefy
The milk is yellower, but not quite
so rich. To Offset this, however, they
will give more milk. which makes the
total amount of b~utterfat practically
the same for the two breeds.
The Ayrshires are about the same
size as the Guernseys-namely, 1000
LOO pounds for mature cows. They
carry more natural flesh than the Jer
seys and Guernsey. which makes then
more suitable for beef, and also FOL
crossing with beef breeds. Ayrshire:
give more but thinner milk than thu
Jerseys and Guernseys. Their milk /,
especially adapted for retail trade anC
cheese making.
The Holsteins are the largest of an.
Of the dairy breeds. The calves ar,
large at birth and make good veal
The Holstelns give by far the mos
milk.

FOR GOOD BUTTER MAKING.

Work the salt into the butter thor.
oughly. but do no work 1t long enough
to break the grain and make the but
ter salvy.
An English authority on butter max
ing claims that adding one pound OF
salt to every gallon of cream imme-
diately after it is taken OF the milk
Ids in ripening the cream and gives
from is to 20 per cent. more butter
han from cream that has no salt In II.
The buttermilk is, of course, useless,
as 1t cannot be fed to stock when
It contains so much salt, but its loss
is more than made up by the large
quantity and better quality of butter.
il Is claimed. Has anybody tried II
over here?
To prevent the taste Of turnips In
the butter from cows fed on them, q
western creamery practices the fol
lowing method: Put the cream into 9
vessel and place in hot water at zoe
degrees. When the cream reaches g
temperature of las or $50 degrees. SET
the cream dish in cold water to cool 1t
Experiments seem to show that the
longer the interval between milking
the poorer the milk. The milk is i'm
poverished by the absorption OF the
fats after 1t Is secreted.
If milk which has been set Sr some
time and on which the cream hsi
partly raised is stirred the cream
never raises again fully. SO there Ii
q considerable loss OF butter from 1t.

Womanly Wisdom

Live ,as much as possible on the

The truest test OF love between

Fresh pork is fine eating, but be
careful that the little folks do not
eat too much of it at a time; and
maybe you had better take this adj

To prevent eggs cracking when
a number are placed in boiling wa

run ver them before placing them
in the dish.
Never put pork into a barrel that
has the slightest smell or faint

scald it again and again, and il
then it is not just right, leave it
out where the sun can shine in it

WHICH BREED is THE BEsT7
puzziing Question In Connection with
Dairy Business Unanswered, az
All Have Good Qualities.

This question is probably asked
oftener than any other in connection
with the dairy business, and it is one
which cannot be answered in a word.
There is no best breed for all locali-
ties and even in any particular To-
cality it is oftentimes difficult to say
which is the best breed. In general
1t may be said that for dairy pur-
poses any Of the dairy breeds are SUI
breeds; this is true in any or all local
ities. 1t cannot be said, however, with
the same degree of positiveness, which

Holland Plan Of Combination.

In some sections many of the best
dairymen are adapting the Holland
plan OF combining and hiring men to
visit each herd n day in the month
and test the milk of each cow. thus
giving the wners an idea Of which
COWS Ore the mes that are paying for
their keep. This plan is a very sen:
sible one and should be encouraged.
The cost Is comparatively small. as
the tester boards with the family

ried to the next place the day he has
completed his work.

IMPROVING RUNDOWN ROADS.
Reconstruction Can Be Accomplished
Without Much Work by
HaskIns' Method.

A good way Of bringing up run
down roads that are not sandy Is to
get the center of the road, then COM
to pillow about four feet from
the center; this a be done in the
fall, writes C. f. Haskins in Hoard's
Dairyman. There Is always about 16
feet of the road that has not any sod;
have one team pillow and the other
team on the ditch cleaner or road
machine. This road machine works
the same as the pillow; the long side
acts as the land side Of the plow; 1t
runs in the furrow aid cannot slew.
The loose dirt slides along the short
side, called the moldboard. This can
be followed up until you reach the
sod. Then do not use this road ma

When / went to school, says the
Osborne Farmer, we had a fellow
in our class who was a plug. He
was always the butt of ridicule for
the rest of US and never seemed
to have any friends. His clothes
looked funny and he had awkward
simple ways over which we had
much sport. No n thought the
plug would ever get anywhere. But
today that plug is drawing alarg-
er Isalary than any two OF the
smart fellows. He has more money
more influence and more friends
than any OF the rest OF us. The
plug had a gait that was slow,
but it was sure. He didn't appear
to be a bit bright in those school
days, but he had a surface that
took on polish. The rust wore of
and he became q clear cut, spark
ling nugget. The fellow in the
class who made the most fun oil
the plug was slated for the Presi-
dency OF the United States, he was
so smart. But " few years later hi
signed the wrong name to a check
and he hasn't done much since. Sc
don't make too much fun of a plug
A plug colt generally makes
plug horse, but a plug boy doesn'
always make a plug man. Th'

TWO HOLD UPS-Are you 60

speaker was a short heavy set
fellow with whiskers. "No," said
Bill. "Aint you going with me?"
said Bob.
"Where r you going tor" "You
know where. All right said Bill.
SO they started off and they came
across a man so they said to him,
"Where r you going?" "That's
my business" said the man. So Bob
said to Bill "Come ,on" so they
caught hold Of the mans horse and
stopped the horse. And then Bill
pulled the man off the horse and
Bob tied the horse and Bill took
his gold watch and about a hun
dred dollars and his hat, and then
they tied him down, and went and
got his horse and went to go. They
had not tied his hands or felt in
his inside pockets. So he got a
pistol out Of his pocket. He fired
and hit Bill in his left hand. Then
they made the horse go faster. At
last they got away. The man was
rescued and taken home. The
Hold Ups were found and taken to
Jail for two years. And the man
got his horse back, but he did not
get his watch or money.

Children's prayers are sometimes
intensely quaint and amusing, and
at the same time, sublimely real to
them, and no doubt acceptable to
Him who ~interprets with fatherly
tenderness their strangely express

Britain prayed to the Lord Jesus,
"Do try to make me a good girl;
and if you don't succeed, try, try
again" Another besought The
Lord to make her absolutely pure
like Cadbury's cocoa" Out of
the mouths of babes and stockings,
prayer like praise is perfected. 1t
is not the consistency Of a well-or-

sistency Of desires that accord with
His will, that answer. Mr..
Spurgeon, after the stumbling fl: s.
