The director Of the dairy department
of the Kansas Agricultural college has

for keeping flies or horses and cattle

laundry soap i'm warm water and add
one and one-half pounds Of rosin and
one-half pound Of fish oil and boil I'M
Til the rosin Is thoroughly dissolved,
then add enough water to make three
gallons. Apply to animals with brush
or spray pump at the rate of about
half a pint of liquid to each animal
three times a week until the coat is
pretty we'll covered with rosin. The
fly pest can be still further reduced in
the stables by putting dark coverings
over the windows and pieces Of slit

a New Jersey reader Of these notes
calls the writer's attention to a mis-
statement which appeared in this dc
partment "a short time ago to the ef-
feet that the present season was the
first in a score Or more Of years when
Irish potatoes in large quantities had
been shipped to north central states
The statement made was based on an
observation covering period Of more
than twenty-five years, but should
have been qualified by the phrase ito
the small towns" of the section men
toned. Our correspondent states that
of the more than 5000 carloads OF
Irish potatoes shipped from southern
New Jersey more than half went west,
chiefly to Chicago. though Minneapo-
lis, st. Paul and Detroit took large
quantities.

sity or Illinois. has recently published
the results OF some feeding tests, which
show the comparative value or tim
othy hay and alfalfa as ration for
dairy cows. Sixteen cows were di-
vided into two lots OF eight each.
Aside from their hay ration. they were
fed exactly alike, each animal receiv-
ing ten pounds Of corn slower and
twelve pounds Of grain. The milk
from the two lots of cows sold at $1.30
per hundredweight. The results showed
that with a ton of timothy worth $40,
rs it was at the time % the test, a
ton of alfalfa was worth $20.S6. This
meant that. with alfalfa yielding at the
rate Of four tons per acre and timothy

worth $68.44 more than timothy when

DANCE AMID
DUTCH SCENES
KniCkerbOCker Club IeCOra-
tiOnS Harked Back to the
Zuyder Zee

Amid surroundings that harked
back to the days of the Dutch
pioneers. the Knickerbocker Club
gave its Thanksgiving dance in Eden
Hall. on Wednesday night. 1t was
the happy elimination Of series OF
dances given this season by this
popular organization Of young men.
The club has its quarters in the Nc
Ney building, and is less than year
old.
Everywhere the Knickerbocker at
mosphere was manifest in the Dutch
decorations throughout the ball room.
Suspended from the ceilings - were
models of windmills from the banks
Of the Zuyder Zee, that, aglow IN the
CLEAN of quaint lanterns, lacked only
the whirring of the wheels to COM
plete the suggestion Of reality. About
the walls picturesque views from the
Netherlands greeted the dancers.
Strung across the room was. lattice
bower OF orange and blue festoons.
In one corner Miss Julia Maurer, as
the Knickerbocker Madchen, served
refreshments in stems from Holland.
The programs, too, were in keeping
with the Knickerbocker spirit, and
We're adorned by a picture of Peter
Stuyvesant and other appropriate
views in red aud green.
Excellent music for the fifty couples
who danced was furnished by Nocks
Orchestra. At 1890 o'clock the guests
proceeded to Hanna's where a turkey
supper was served, the menu being IL
Illuminated with Dutch illustrations
and dialect comments on the various
courses. Nock's Orchestra played dur
ing the supper and Ralph B. Mckin-
ney, president OF the club, in a happy
little speech voiced the pleasure of
the organization in giving the dance,
which he believed would be the fore
runner of many Of the same elaborate
pretensions. Following the supper, the
guests returned to Eden Hall and
dancing continued until after
! o'clock.
The patronesses were Mrs. George

HIS CURL
NJ. c. Robbins.

In the cleaning I am sitting,
Living DER the past again.
And the scenes that pass before me
Fill my heart with keenest pain.
If I could but turn time backward.
Could hear his voice again;
] could still my hearts wild throb-
bing,
Free my heart would be OF pain.
I can see him in the freight,
AS / stood behind his chair,
And ! cut from out his tresses
This bright little curl Of hair.
Years and years have passed so
swiftly.
But I've kept this little curl,
And / love 1t just is fondly
AS I did when but a girl.
l have kept this curl so near M
AS the days and years went by,
And ! beg-oh, please don't take it
From me when come to die.
Let it lie upon my bosom,
Even when my heartbeats cease.
For to know twill moulder with me
Fills my poor heart now with
peace.
Well, the night 7 cut this ringlet,
Twas the night he said farewell,
And the heart-pangs that / suffered
Words of mine can never tell,
But | thought he'd come back to me,
After he had crossed the main,
And / waited. waited, waited,
But he never came again.
Oh, little curl, love thee much,
For thou to me hast been
A talisman through life's devious
ways
To save me from much sin.
J know the head that wore this curl
Is sleeping meath the sod,
But his soul has passed the gates Of
pearl,
And is at home with God.
But I will soon be with him now.
In that land so bright and fair;
wonder If he'll know me
With the snowdrifts in my hair.
For when he left me long ago.
Ny hair was like spun gold,
But now tbs thin and faded,
And / am growing old.
But l must look across the bar,
Where partings cannot come,
And sing above the storms OF life,
I'm bound for homo. swet home.
He'll met me on the river bank,
He'll know his little girl;
I'll tell him then through all the
years
l kept that little curl.
