A Nasty Dig.

"As nasty a dig as l ever admins
tered in my newspaper career in Vir-

rected against a man named Ferguson.
Ferguson, at Christmas time, invited
me TO see the presents he had given his
wife. They were magnificent gifts. The
man expected, of course, a write-up.
We'll, he wasn't disappointed. The
next day, in a prominent place on the

Why His Mother Mourne1.

William NJ. Fogarty has a story about
a good old Irish woman whose son was
about to start for a trip around the
world.
She had watched him prosper with
pride. To her he was great man. In
her fond vision she couldf see all sorts of
terrible tidings coming to him, but she
held her peace until he had started for
the journey. Then she began to cry. A
neighbor tried to console her, but to no
avail.
I'm afraid he hasn't the money to get
back, said the mother, weeping. He's
got the money to go round the world
all right, but how viii he ever get
back ?"-Indianapolis Star.

Butter from Sweet Cream.

The quality Of butter seems more at
fected by the degrees of ripeness al
which the cream is churned than by
any other one thing. 1t is now becom
ing the fashion in some quarters tc
churn sweet cream. 1t is said that the
butter keeps longer and some like il
better, though moderate degree OF
rlpeness produces butter of the most
popular flavor 1t is we'll known that
over-ripe cream makes an ill-f1avored
butter, and the wonder is that so much
OF it is produced. Negligence and

QUEEN MARGHERITA.
She Has Suffered Much from Painful
Neuralgia


Much as the Italians love and admire
Queen Elena, the person nearest their
hearts has always been the Dowager
Queen Margherita, so that her indifferent
health during this year mas caused much
anxiety. All last spring Queen Mar.
gherita was in the hands of the best
medical authorities in Rome, but I'M
known to the general public. So far was
this desire for secrecy carried that the
three attending physicians left their au-
tomobiles at the foot OF the slope leading
ito her palace, and went on foot, en-
tering as unostentatiously as possible
However, when three months had
passed since she had been seen at all
suspicion was aroused, and it was then
known that she was afflicted with the
most painful form of neuralgia, which
began in her shoulder and ran up into
the head, causing such excruciating
agony that her head was wrapped con-
stantly in cotton wool. At length she re-
covered sufficiently to leave Rome, and
during the summer she was much better
but again now at Stupinigi, her castle
in the north, she has Tiad~ return Of the
pain, and although. little is mads of it,

The Milking Shed.

A plan that has been proven success
full, not only in the improvement of
the milk, but in the saving Of the
manure, Is to have a separate barn or
shed to do the milking in. This can
De a comparatively cheap structure,
as 1t would be intended to keep the
COWS IN 1t only during the process OF
milking
The barn, however, should be con-
structed in substantial and sanitary
way. After the cows are MIXED they
are turned into roomy shed or barn,
where they remain loose and can eat
forage or lie down at will There
are in this shed racks and troughs
for feeding hay and ensilage in.
In the milking shed the cows are
fastened by means Of rigid stanchions,
and the feed managers, where the con-
centrates are fed, are built high
enough to prevent the cow from ly-
Ing down, thus she remains clean
until the milking is done.
The floors should be of concrete,
and there should be a gutter behind
the cows. These stables should be
thoroughly cleaned out each day, and,
II possible, washed occasionally, so
that there will be as few flies as pos
sible and no offensive odors. There
should be no hay or feed stored in
this barn and it should be well venti-
lated, so that the air will be pure and
free from dust.
This is about the most practical way
to keep cows clean. The feeding shed,
which could and really should be the
lower floor OF the main feed barn,
should be well ventilated and bedded,
for in there the cows are allowed to
run at large and the manure is allowed
to accumulate, being covered up each
day with new bedding This plan
saves absolutely all of the manure
with the least amount of handling, it
being hauled directly to the land in
the spring. Agriculturist.

She Lands a Big Salmon in Seventeen
Minutes.
To Lady Edith Trotter belongs the
distinction Of having captured the big
gest salmon of the season, on the
Sprouston water of the Tweed. It
turned the scale at 1917 pounds and was
landed in seventeen minutes. The fish
was SO inches in length and 81 inches in
girth. mo larger fish this season or for
many seasons has been record ed as
caught, with rod and line in British
waters" said Mr.. Marston, editor of
the Fishing Gazette ITO take so large
fish is certainly a great achievement
for u lady. The time in which it was
taken is also remarkable. The rough
and-ready rule for large fish is pound
a minute. A forty eight-pound fish might
have taken another half-hour to land"

To Simplify Sugar Beet Culture.

10 Simplify sugar Beet Culture.
The Department Of Agriculture Is
experimenting with a view to obtain
ing a single germ beet seed. Las.
years Investigations were successful
in Increasing the percentage of the
single germ seed to so per cent, as
compared to &c per cent for the year
previous. BY methods of selection
from single-seed plants this percent
age may be still further increased.
The ultimate establishment of sin
gle germ beet will revolutionize sugar
beet growing, since the several sprouts
sent up by the ordinary seed, all OF
which must be carefully removed by
hand, constitutes the most difficult
problem In beet raising.

better Breeding Each Time.

No line of breeding requires more
thought and study than horse breed
ing. This is why so many fail in pro-
ducing the highest types. One of the
essentials is knowing the type of sire
to breed the mare to. Many farmers
will breed a light mare to a heavy
horse or the very opposite, and the re-
suit is nothing tangible in the way of
improvement. Every farmer should
know what kind of an animal he has
and be able to select a sire to breed
her to that will give an improved off
spring. With proper selection made
here the remainder will be easy.
1t is we'll to note at the outset that
no horse is absolutely perfect. Every
animal has some defect, be it large
or small The defects in the mare
should therefore be carefully noted.
and the sire selected should be espe
cially strong in the weak points the
mare may have. 1t should be hardly
necessary to mention that it is never
a good plan to cross breeds. To make
a success of the business the horse
breeder must select one breed and
stick to it.
