There Is u very Great Difference In
lhe efficiency OF the Animals.
The Dairy COW may be consider
ed as An animated machine that has
for her mission the conversion OF
feed into milk and butter fat" says
Prof. d n. Otis of the depar,m' Mt ot
a imal nutrition OF the University
OF Wisconsin. His st.dies OF
large number of herds and OF indi-
vidual cows shows that .hel' is
great difference in the efficiency OF
COW machines One erd may pro-
duce from three Ave times as much
profit per COW as 'other hero in the
same community. In the anne herd
one good COW not intrequently pro-
duces az much profit to the dairy
farmer above the cost OF feed and
care as eight or ten poor cows.
In comparison Pro. Otis made
tetweeh two herds of dairy cows In
Wis onsiI dairy districts 1t was
found that in one herd the two best
uairy cows produced 419 pounds OF
butter per COW per annum. Com
pairing the production OF the poorest
COW with that of the best two in the
herd, anu averaging the tho, the
yield , butter per coT vas lowered

pounds OF butter -. COW .or the
year. In the second herd the aver
age pro, uctio of the two best COWS
in the herd was APT pounds OF but
ter. A comparison OF the produc-
ton OIL the poorest COW with the two

ered from APT to so for COW, a
reduction of 1875 pounds per COW.
III both instances the poor COW re-

cows to he average yield of the en-
tire herd.
The ny estigation shows that it is
possible for few poo, cows in a
herd to so reduce the profits real

IRE herd is kept either at loss, OF
at but small profit. The depressing
influence OF poor cows will lie elimi.

PUFF PASTE RECIPE.
How to Make the Kind That Mslts Ir
the Mouth.

How TO Make the Kind That Melts IT.
the Mouth.
Puff paste should never be called by
its christened name unless 1t Is de-
serving of the title. 1t should be as
light as air and melt in the mouth like
snowflake on the river. 1t has been
supposed to be indigestible, but when
1t is light and dry and flaky 1t is per-
fectly safe to be eaten. 1t is only the
soggy, heavy pastry that refuses to be
separated by the gastric fluids and be-
comes like lead in the stomach in a
very short time. Pun paste is not
often success the first time 1t Is
made. 1t requires practice to make it
we'll and certain light touch which
only practice brings. II the young
housekeeper makes her paste accord
ing to this recipe she will find 1t an
excellent one:
One pint of good butter, one quart
of -four slfted, three-quarters Of tea
spoonful of salt and teacupful of Ice
water. Chill mixing bowl with cold
water. Wash the butter In cold water
by working 1t with a spoon until 1t is
soft. Divide 1t into four parts, roll in
napkin and put it on ice. Mix the
-four and salt together and gradually
mix in one part of the butter. Some
people use their hands, while other
people mix it with spoon or knife.
When the butter and -four are well
mixed pour in the ice water very slow
ly. Do not stir the pastry, but cut it
with the knife until the water is alb
sorbed. Sprinkle the rolling board
with little flour, toss the ball of paste
on with the knife and then pat with
the rolling pin until it is quite fat and
about an inch thick. Roll very lightly
and quickly the whole length of the
paste at every stroke.
When the paste Is rolled out lay one
of the quarters of butter In a little
-four and roll into long, thin piece
and fold it into the pastry. Pound it
lightly into fat cake and roll again.
Repeat with the rest of the butter,
putting in a quarter each time and
patting it and rolling it deftly and
quickly. When the butter is all rolled
in the pastry may be patted and re-
rolled as often as your strength will
permit.
Each time the paste is folded over
the butter a small bubble of air gets
in, and this does not escape unless
the pastry is patted down. The motion
for rolling should therefore be very
light indeed and always away from
you The folding and rolling should
continue until all streaks of'butter are
absorbed Always put the puff paste
on the ice to harden before it is baked
1t should he very cold when it is pu
into the oven.

Berlin an ldlers, Haven.

The finances of Berlin are in an
even worse state than those of the en-
pire and of Prussia. One reason for
the enormously increased expenditure
is the reckless way in which Berlin
supports all sorts Of victims of misfor-
tune or of idleness. More than fifth
of the children living in the orphan
asylums have both parents living. The
town shelters support thousands who
have no claim upon the town. Vaga-

mate charity and crowd thither.-West'
