Nnfos If tho Farm DAIRY

The best favored butter in the world
Is made in private dairies-and the
worst, too.
The silo enables the farmer to carry
more head of stock than he otherwise
could be able TO do.
To produce their full milk-giving
capacity, COWS should be kept as free
from disturbance as possible.
Care and feeding the first two years
with the calves and heifers is where
many men succeed in raising stock.
No one man can develop COW into a
high producer unless that cow had an
inherited quality of development to
start with.
Some don't seem to realize the i'm
portance Of manipulating the udder
with the hand at the same time they
are milking.
Success in dairying demands that a
man breed and develop his own cows
as far as possible. and buy. II he must,
wisely.

The Four-Handed laps.

The Japs are four-handed animals, says
the celebrated French scientist, Prof
Lannelongue. in an article published in
the last number of the leading German
medical review. His statement is based
primarily on an examination of Japa
nese feet. The Japs run about at home
generally with naked feet, or at the most
in light slippers. Their toes are de
veloped in such way that they can b,
used as fingers. The toes can grasp anG
entwine themselves around objects like
fingers. The Japs can pick up articles
from the ground with their toes. They

This Is Paradoxical, but True of the Ger

The court doctors find Emperor Will

fering from a poisoned hand, the result
of an insect-bite, and the doctors refuse
to permit him to even turn the pages Of

custom to overcome minor human weak
nesses by exercising his will power, and
he can not see why he should not do
so now. One day last week, when the
swelling-that had covered the whole

sisted on donning his easy uniform and
going down the palace steps to greet the
King and Queen of the Belgians. AS
a result there was slight relapse. The

Preventing Mice Damage to Trees.
Mice are attracted to an orchard in
winter by covering Of dead vegeta
ton on the ground. If the vegetation
can be plowed under in the fall 1t will
destroy their nesting and hiding
places. Some farmers burn the dead
grass and weeds in their orchards ii
the fall, but this is not good practice.
as there is danger Of killing the trees
by fire and the dead vegetation is
needed for a mulch and to apply hu-
mus.
Wrapping the base Of the trees with
tarred paper, to the height of one to
two feet will prevent mice and rab-
bits from gnawing them in winter.
Fine wire netting wrapped around the
base Of the young trees will answer
the same purpose.

When this belongs to another person and

is safe to start back-fire, such as q road,
