Money In Horse Breedino.

The Nevada experiment station has this about horses:
 "The station is not in the horse breeding business. Yet the farm team of Pereheron mares have been made to do double duty in that they have done the farm work and added to the work ing force by rearing colts. One of the original team, purchased some five years ago. died from blood poisoning at foaling this spring. She had been a regular breeder and leaves four colts any of which would probably bring on the market double the amount paid for the team. One of these, two-year- old stallion. weighing over 1900 pounds. we value at $1 900 and con slider him superior to most of the company horses that have been sold in the state at from S2.J00 to S3.500. Besides this promising colt we have on hand pair of growing mares now three and four years old. ready to take the place of the old team. and two younger born colts. There should be lesson In this for the farmer. When the farm work Is not too heavy brood mares may be used and, If big and sound and particularly if pure bred. may be made to yield very consider able income"

 Of an applicant for the post of di- rector at the Sevres manufactory Thiers said:
 'He is no more made for that part than I for"- and then he stopped.

Telephone BIunders.

Have you any spare ribs?' was the question asked a Portland business man recently, when he took down the telephone receiver to answer a call For a moment the business man thought he was the subject of some joke. but the sweet voice that asked the question treasured him, and he realized that there was some mistake so he hastily answered:
 "No, madam. am not Adam. and am not willing to give up one of my ribs for any purpose"
 "Oh, I beg your pardon" was the prompt reply. 'I thought I had Blanks meat market"
 This incident brought forth a story about the chief of police of Oakland, Cal. Some years ago. when asked over the telephone if he had any brains, he grew furious and said some very i'm polite things to the lady who asked the question before he discovered that she wanted q butcher shop and not the chief of police-Portland Oregonian.

Champion Eaq Layers.

Many insects are extremely prolific. All of the order Hymenoptera. the bees and ants. lay large numbers, but they are easily excelled by the order Plecop- terra, the stone flies, one female of which deposits from 5000 to 6,000 eggs. But the champion egg layers are the insects embraced In the order 1soptera, the white ants. Dr. Howard states that these insects are called white ants because they are not ants and because they are not white, but he further goes on to tell us that the females of some of the African species grow to an enor- nous size, and their abdomen, swollen with eggs, becomes as big as large potato. The rate at which the eggs are laid Is extraordinary. being about sixty a minute. or s0.OOO and upward a day.

 daeed on the Farm.
 Much of the butter made in the country is not as good as it might be. and this need not be so. for the process of making 8 first class article k very simple, writes W H. Underwood in the Country Gentleman.
 Before the milking begins the sides and udderS of the cows are carefully brushed. thus preventing dirt and dust from falling into the milk The milk ing is done with clean. dry hands; to milk with wet fingers would be ex- tremely filthy. As soon as the milk is drawn from the COW 1t Is strained through a wire gauge and three thick. nesSes of cheesecloth. All the milk utensils are thoroughly cleaned after being used by first washing them in lukewarm water, next in hot water, and then they are scalded in boiling water. Every dish or cloth employed in connection with the milk is put in clean place. where there is a circula- ton of pure air. after being used. This is of the utmost importance.
 The cream is separated from the milk with a hand separator and held until there is sufficient quantity to ehurn. The ehurning Is done three times each week with barrel ehurn.
 The cream Is strained into the churn through a hair sieve. and the ehurn is never filled more than half full of cream When the cream begins to break care is exercised not to gather the butter granules into one large lump The churning ceases when the butter particles are about the size of wheat kernels. Then the ehurn is fastened and the buttermilk drawn of.
 When the buttermilk is well drained from the butter il is rlused with q lit tie water. and after this has drained away the cork is put in the churn and cold water added The cover is then put on the churn and the churn re. volved slowly six or eight times; the water is now drawn off and the butter left to drain about fifteen minutes, W lcD tue HutltI lS Ntit dldtttNN u iH ready to salt. and this Is done in the ehurn when the butter Is in granular form About one and one-haf ounces of salt are used for every pound of butter This insures the right quan- tity of salt when the butter is finished.
 It is very easy matter to work but ter too much and have it greasy. We never work the butter with the hands, because the warmth of the hands will make it greasy and give il salvy ap- pearance We use the lever worker and press the lever on the surface and occasionally fold the butter over with a ladle. The lever of the butter worker or butter paddle Is never allowed to slide over the surface of the butter, but it is pressed straight down when working the butter.
 The butter Is pressed into square one pound prints and carefully wrap ped with parchment paper which has been soaked in salt water a few min utes before being used.

Rooms to Let Signs In Paria

The Paris.an householder who has more room than he requires does not simply put out card printed in small type which will lure from across the street weary man or woman who is in search of ''unfurnished," but finds that here are only furnished rooms" or the other way about. A white card on a Parisian dwelling means that furnished apartments are to let and all who run may read.

Two Spells.

Tn one of the interior counties Of New York state there lives an aged Scotchman who by native shrewdness has made a fortune and has done it without the slightest bit of education. One day he and an acquaintance were talking. when the latter said to old Duncan:
 Say. Duncan. you don't know enough to go in when 1t rains. Why. you can't even spell bird"
 "Bu-rd." muttered old Duncan.
 "I tell you. you don't know anything. Why. If you had to spell 10 make living you'd have been dead years ago. I'll bet you a hundred right now you cant spell bird.

THE DANGERS IN NOT USING
 GOOD MILK

Very few consumers of milk ever stop to think of how it is produced,
 Many sicllnesses, especially in children have been traced by medi- cal research to the improper hand ling of milk
 A short time ago thyphoid fever broke out in the upper section of New York City and was traced by the Board of Health to the milk which had come from a farm in the Northern section of New York State.
 Milk when taken from the COW is in n pure state,l and lis the best whole food known 10 man, but care- lessly handled it becomes a danger, as the warm milk is ready to re. ceive foreign bacteria which multiply at an alarming rate until the milk is dangerous to use, but cannot be deteced unless analized.
 Use milk which is produced under the following methods:
 Clean barn, cows cleaned one half hour before milking to allow the dust to settle, clean milking cans, dry milking, the habit of some milkers in wetting the ..hands with the milk before milking is discust ing and dangerous to milk. The use of tobacco in any form probi- bited by milkers in the barn, wash- ing the hands before milking, taking the milk from the barn as soon as it comes from the COW, as there are more bacteria in the barn than out in the air. The liberal use of good dis infectant daily around .the barn, especially in the gutters. These rules are strictly inforced at Brook side Dairy Farm, as the REPORTS of the STATE will prove by the low number of bacteria in Brookside Farm milk.
 Use Brookside Farm Bottled Milk delivered daily. A guarantee of its purity goes with every bottle

Potatoes as a Hog Feed.

The value of potatoes as a hog feed has been tested at the Wisconsin ex pertinent station. where the potatoes were cooked and fed with corn in com parison with corn alone. II was found that it required 442 pounds of pota- toes to save 100 pounds of cornmeal. A Danish investigator found that it re- quired 400 pounds of potatoes to save 100 pounds of mixed grain. From these results it seems that four and half bushels of potatoes are worth about the same for feeding purposes as one bushei of corn. They should always Dc fed cooked,

A reader of these notes living in section where very little has been done along the line of growing alfalfa in quires how to go at it to get a stand. his purpose being to make a spring sowing of the seed. The writer is Of the opinion that more satisfactory re- suits will be had in getting start with alfalfa if the sowing is delayed until the middle of August. The land used for the purpose should be well drained, enriched with seven or eight loads of barnyard manure per acre and just as free as possible from weed seeds. A piece of land from which a crop of wheat or oats has just been removed would serve the purpose very nicely. as a good share of the weed seed germinates within a short time after the grain is cut. while the remaining seed can be killed in the preparation of the soil for the alfalfa seed. While the seed can be broadcasted there is
 little question that more uniform germination will be secured if it is drilled in. From fifteen 10 twenty-five pounds of seed may be used. the smaller quantity being required if drill is used. There is species of bac- teria which works Oa he roots of the alfalfa plant. and much thriftier growth will be secured If these are in- troduced into the soil. This may be done by mixing soil from an estab- lished alfalfa field with the manure with which the field is fertilized. or soil from the roadside where the wild sweet clover has grown will answer the same purpose, or one can make application to the department of agri- culture at Washington for a little tube of the nitrogen fixing bacteria. which Is diluted ID water and the seed wet with this a few hours before sowing. After being treated the seed should not be exposed to the direct rays Of the sun. The writer has known of number of instances in which good stand of alfalfa has been secured by sowing the seed in the spring. but in these cases the soil was free from weed seeds. and the young alfalfa psants got q foothoid at once and were not swanped with rank weeds. as Is so often the case
