So we use that part of the wheat berry

Successful Dairying.

Dairying has made more progress
during the past few years than any
other industry; it is a great business.
Cheap dairy products are things of the
past. The dairyman that has good
COWS and gives them good care and
sells good dairy products gets top
notch prices and makes a nice profit.
To be a good dairyman and make a
success of the work, one must be in
tereSted in COWS, keep nothing but
good COWS and give them the right
kind of care. Feed and care are as
important as the good cows. To build
up a dairy herd one must first buy a
pure bred dairy sire of first-class
breeding, also buy a few good grade
cows or heifers. If you want a good
sire you must pay something like $3.50
up to $3.50. Don't mind paying this If
he is a good individual and has good
pedigree. See that his dam has been
good producer, also his granddam.
If he possesses these qualities he will
be we'll worth the money. Breed your
common and grade COWS and retain
all of your best heifer calves and you
will soon have a good dairy herd.
Weigh the milk from each cow every
day and test it once a month. This
will tell you which cows to keep and
which to weed out. Fifteen dollars
invested in a tester and scales and
sample bottles and record sheets and
a pencil will furnish all the equip
ment you need. This outfit will pay
for itself in a short time. Don't think
the pure bred COW does the whole
trick. A good feeder and good feed
are just as important. The silo is the
dairy mans best friend and 1t comes
to feeding. A good ration is as fol-
lows About 40 pounds ensilage, all
the hay a COW will eat and a grain
ration composed of equal parts of oats,
corn, bran and gluten. Feed this
about the ratio of one pound of the
mixture to three pounds of milk daily
with a little oil meal or cotton seed
added. Keep salt and fresh water be-
fore the cows all the time. Treat
your cows kindly, give them pat and
kind word whenever you can.-Con-
t-ibutor.

Strictly Family Affairs.-Dan Don
nelley, the public service inspector
who looks after traffic at the Four
Corners during the day, encounters all
sorts of experiences with travellers
The following is one story he relates:
A lady leading a daintily dressed
little girl of perhaps five or six years
mounted the platform of a Broad street
car. There was an air of aristocracy
about them; but it was an aristocracy
that had evidently seen better days
for there were signs of wear about
the tips of the gloves the lady wore
and the little tots shoes were begin
ming to show the effects of travel.
The lady dropped a five-cent piece
into the fare box and took hold of her
daughters hand to lead her into the
car.
Pardon me, lady," questioned the
conductor, but how old is your daugh-
ter?'
"A look that contained a mixture OF
subdued surprise and naughty reserve
covered the ticket taker for an instant
and then the little silver purse came
out from the mum again.
II prefer to keep my family affairs
to myself she said, as a second five
cent piece ratified into the boX."-New-

The Dairy caIf.-What is to be
done with that bawling dairy calf?
The farmer wishes to sell cream, and
the calf is too valuable to let starve,
but is not fit for the market. The far
mer cannot afford to give it half the
cows milk 50 about the wisest plan is
to remove the calf from the mother
and grow it by hand.
After the calf has been taken away,
it should he fed the pure milk at a
temperature of 9S degrees. Never
give the milk unless it is the proper
temperature, or the calf may take
the scours and die. Always see to it
that the vessels are clean, for impure
vessels breed disease germs.
After giving the pure milk several
days. it may be gradually diluted to
one-half with fresh skinned milk. In
two weeks the calf can he put on
skinned milk alone. 1t is best To add
some bran or shorts, boiled flax or
corn meal to the skinned milk, so
that it will he the more nourshing,
Let the calf run into grass lot and
it will soon he eating the grass.
About the first problem that con-
fronts the dairyman is that of teach
ing the young calf to drink the milk.
Properly cared for the dairy calf that
is raised by hand will grow into a
scrvicrablc animal.-W. D. Neale.

Roup In Chickens.

The fowls take this disease easily
in the fall and winter. 1t may be
caused by cold, dampness or filthy
quarters as well as by drafts.
The symptoms of this disease are
discharges at the mouth and nostrils,
swelled head, difficult breathing and
offensive breath.
AS soon as the disease appears, the
sick fowls should be separated from
the others and kept by themselves in
warm, dry place.
A good treatment is to mix coal oil,
turpentine and castor-oil in equal
parts and give i'm doses of a teaspoon
full twice a day. Shake well before
giving.
Rub the swollen head with sweet
oil. Feed nourishing food, warm
mashes, etc, with some good poultry
regulator or tonic.
Care should be taken in handling
the infected fowls and great pains in
cleaning the hands afterwards, as the
disease is very infectious.
Don't forget the hens dust-bath.
They must have it to he healthy and
happy.
Put plenty of straw or other litter
on the floor of the scratching sheds
and the hen-house, and make the
hens scratch for their whole grain.
They need the exercise.
Visit the hen-house often, so the
hens will feel acquainted and not be
afraid of you. Then you can gather
the eggs without disturbing them.
Also. you can watch them at work
and will know your best layers. Then
when the good wife wants chicken
dinner you will not kill your best hen
and leave alive a fat, lazy one who
is not laying enough eggs to pay for
her keep.

The Second One Was to Avenee the
Victim of the First.
A certain English gentleman who
was a regular frequenter of the green
room of Drury Lane theater in the
days of Lord Byron's committee and
who always stood quietly on the hearth
rug then with his back to the fire was
in his usual place one night when q
narrative was related by another gen.
tleman, newly returned from the con-
tinent, of a barrier duel that had taken
place in Paris.
A young Englishman, a mere boy,
had been despoiled in a gaming house
in the Palais Royal, had charged a
certain gaming count with cheating
him, and gone out with the count, had
wasted his fire and had been slain by
stances of the counts walking up to
him, laying his hand on his heart, say
ing, you are brave fellOw-have you
a mother" and on his replying in the
HidllNt hlllS NoOIly, all SUI
ry for her." and blowing his victims
brains out.
The gentleman on the hearth rug
paused in taking a pinch of snuff to
hear this story and observed with
great placidity. Il am afraid l must
kill that rascal"
A few nights elapsed, during which
the greenroom hearth rug was with
out him, and then he reappeared pre-
cisely as before and only incidentally
mentioned in the course of the evening.
Gentlemen, | killed that rascal"
He had gone over to Paris on pur-
pose, had tracked the count to the
same gaming house, had thrown a
glass of wine in his face in the pres
ence of all the company assembled
there, had told him that he had come
to avenge his young compatriOt and
had done it by putting the count out
of this world and coming back to the
hearth rug as if nothing had happen
