The superintendent of the Indian c.
vii Veterinary Department throws a
little light on the native methods OF
cattle raising. The native living on
a meal of rice. with a few herbs as
seasoning, expects his cattle will in
like manner pick up what they can
in the way of pasture about the vii
lage or its adjacent lands, so that he
never troubles himself to grow green
food or prepare dry fodder for them;
the same plant which supplies him
with grain feeds his cattle also with
it's straw. In most towns and Villages
cattle are driven out at all seasons
to Craze abroad, and in the dry sea-
son they more frequently lick the dust
only and return home as empty as
when they started to receive perhaps
a few handouts Of straw or rubbish,
just sufficient to sustain life.

Improvement of
Dairy Herds

Every farmer is interested in his
herd of dairy COWS because of the
money the cows bring him. Very few
farmers, however, have any knowl-
edge of what their COWS are doing.
Most of the farmers judge of the quail
ity of their COWS from the amount of
milk each one gives. If she gives a
large mess of milk she is usually 1.-The
best COW on the farm and if small
mess she is not a very good cow"
This is an unscientific way of judging
of the individual COW or the herd. To
help farmers upon a higher plane of
dairying has been a study of the Min
nesota Department of Agriculture for
several years. Through d long series
of experiments the department has
found that the testing Of individual
cows, weighing their milk and testing
it is practical and necessary if one Is
to breed up his herd intelligently. The
department now recommends the or
ganization of cooperative cow test
ing associations in any neighborhood
where a sufficient number of COWS Is
kept. This is not a hard matter to
do. Let fifteen or twenty farmers
join together in a nelghborly way and
sign an agreement to stand by each
other for year, agreeing to pay $1.00
or $3.50 per year per cow for some
one who shall make it his duty to ap-
pear at each farm once month for
a year, at milking time, see the cows
MIXED, weigh their milk, test 1t, and
make a record of each cows work
and leave 1t with her owner. In this
way a practical man thoroughly ac-
quainted with the work can be en-
ployed~to give his experience to the
dairyman at so low a cost as to make
his employment a necessity to every
owner of a considerable number OF
COWS. Some may say they can't afford
he cost. A few non-paying cows will
In a year cost more than the expense
of having the herd tested for similar
period. If a COW isn't worth the feed
and care she requires the farmer
should know it. If she Is a paying
COW he should know It and breed her
to sire of pronounced qualities and
thus build up his herd to a standard
of excellence and profit Good dairy
COWS are seldom in the market. Peo-
pie as a rule do not sell such cows.
or II so they sell at an exhorbitant
price few farmers can AFFORD to pay.
So the really practical and economi-
cal way to get paying herd is to
breed up to it from sires Of such OK
ucellence as to leave no question a. to
the dairy merit of their offspring. b..
ginning with the best cows In tbs
herd as mothers and discarding those
Of inferior quality. .f
The tester can visit one herd one
day and then the farmer can take
him to the next, and so on until he
has gone the rounds of the neighbor-
hood once each month. At the end Of
the year each farmer will have a re-
cord showing losing or winning
game on the part of each COW. be-
sides having been educated in various
branches Of the industry. A limited
number of cow testing associations
have been organized In Minnesota and
the farmers are pleased with the
suits.

Cleaning SilUer Purse

Any woman who owns a silver
purse, either sterling or german. and
who constantly pays the jeweler for
cleaning it, in order TO save gloves
and light dresses, will be very glad to
know that common baking soda will
clean it in a few minutes.
Just take plenty of soda and a lit
tie water, and wash between the hands
or with a brush; rinse and dry-and

W[TH MRS. BLAIN
Saturday Club Members Have Pleas
ant and P rofitable meeting In
the Discussion of Notable
Characters.

The Saturday Club met with Mrs.
Blain. Two papers of unusual ex-
cellence were presented by Mrs.
Frank Southworth and Mrs. C. r.
Leonard.
Mrs. Southwosth presented the
work Of Cynthia t.stover Alden,
the founder of the International
Sunshine Society. This organization
Is not charitable one in the COM
mon meaning of the word. but an
organized effort to make the world
just a little better and brighter. It's
creed is found In the little poem
which begins,
If one has done you a kindness,
Pass it along, pass it along"
The song of the society is the we'll
known one,
leather up the sun-beams,
That lie along your path"
The good accomplished where
Sunshine Circles exist is won
derful not only in the material helm
extended but in the little, sweet
acts that help and encourage. In
one town the Circle keeps the sick
supplied with bouquets: another
circle looks after the wants and
pleasures of the "Shut-ins.' and at
Christmas time provide a doll to the
little girl whose soul longs for a
doll. Mrs. Alden IS greatest work has
been the establishing of homes for
blind babies where they are cared
for from infan,y until arrived at
the age of admission to the State
Institutions for the Blind.
There are but two Sunshine Cir
eles IN lndiana-one at INDIANAPOLIS.
and the other at Terre Haute. So
there Is a great field for work in
this line In Indiana. Added inter-
est was given to this subject from
the fact that Mrs. Southworth had
written to Mrs. Alden, who personal
ly sent the pictures used to illus
trate the subject Mrs. Southworth
also read two letters which she had
received from the State organizers
of Sunshine Circles.
The Club feel a personal interest
iu Mrs. CYNTHIA Alden of Sunshine
fsE:e, as she is cousin OF Ms. | n
dcieood, Miss Nj: .onaId ;,a.i Mrs
Wiley.
The subject Of Mrs. Leonar1's
I;i't1 was Pitts Brooks. nne of
tua greatest of A,lecl.a,. preachers
Tie was born in 1885 at Boston

ward and the Theological Seminary
at Alexandria, Va. He was rector
of the Church of the Advent, and of
Holy Trinity at Philadelphia. After
serving as rector of Trinity Church
IN Boston he was appointed bishop
of Massachusetts,. Brooks was cele-
DRAFTED as a popular and powerful
preacher, a powerful thinker and
polished orator. He was a prolific
polished orator. He was a profile
writer and author Of the popular
Christmas hymn, "Oh, Little Town
of Bethlehem.
Perhaps the most wonderful part
of his career, is the influence his
broad and liberal thinking still ex-
erts upon the religious world. Mrs.
Leonard, displayed fine picture Of
Phillips Brooks and a beautiful
booklet.
