The demand is great just now for
good dairy cows.
Dark stables with screened windows
will lessen the fly troubles at milking
time.
An accessible supply of pure, cold
water should always be available for
the herd.
Figures show that a we'll filled silo
allows of twice the number of cows
being kept.
Tainted, musty or mouldy feeds
should eve be served In the dairy
herd regions.
1t has been proven that roots are a
very great help in dairying, even II
silage is used.
Bloody milk or that from a sick
cow should never be mixed with
wholesome milk.
The uncovered a n Of milk should
be kept in cold water until they are
delivered to the creamery.
All herds from which a clean milk
supply is desired should be frequently
inspected by a competent veterinarian.
=, Warm milk should never be poured
into cold milk, nor should the nights
milk be mixed with the mornings
milk.
Prevention is better than a cure. so
inspection of COWS Is much more valu.
able than a laboratory inspection Of
the milk.
Milk should never be exposed to
foul air in the cow stable or in dirty
tanks before it Is delivered to the
creamery.
A great many farmers lose cream
unnecessarily because they do not
flush the cream separator at the close
of the run.
The stable should not be cleaned
or brushed nor silage or roughage be
fed until after all the cows Of the herd
are MIXED.

number Of pounds of butterfat for the
food she consumes Is the most profit.

s,,o at tho North Dakota Agricultural, College.

Dairy cattle men feed about thirty
i've pounds Of ensilage per day to a
thousand.pound COW. which Is an
amount Of settled ensilage in the silo
occupying about a cubic foot. In the
beginning Of the feeding Of ensilage.
Of course. the animals should be given
a small quantity and have their supply
gradually increased. BY following this
suggestion no trouble should be had
in getting animals started on 1t salts.
factorily.
1T ~ise"a good plan to have a large
enough silo to carry over a quantity Of
ensilage as a supplement for summer
pasture. It is a surprising fact that
cattle having first class pasture or
red clover will consume a. large
amount Of ensilage If fed to them in
tho morning before they are turned
into the pasture lot and will be so
near satisfied with a ration oft that
they will lie down contented in the
course of an hour and a half to two
hours grazing. AS pastures are always
likely to be short sometime during
the summer season, a supply Of ensil-
age is sure to come into good play.
The silo represents some expense in
It's construction. It also requires a
cutter, an engine, and d crew Of men
and teams during the first week, of
September or the last of August to
get the crop into the silo before frost
strikes 1t. The fact Of corn frosting
is of no consequence, except that the
corn soon becomes too dry after be-
Ing frosted to make good ensilage.
One who has the capital to invest in
a silo and the necessary machinery
will In my opinion not only be well
pleased with the way in which he can
handle and feed his crop, but will find
that 1t will prove a good investment
as we'll.

HUSBAND BOUGHT FOR $500

The open purchase of husband
by a beautiful Austrian woman caused
sensation in Washington the 9th
err week Miss Eugenia Adams having
inherited a fortune on condition that
she marry, and not having desirable
bridegroom in view, advertised in one
of the newspapers offering 5000 to
the man who would marry her and
leave her Immediately after the cere-
mony.
Forty needy Americans responded
to the advertisement, and Harvey
Brown, a stalwart Vermonter, with ex.
cellent testimonials as to character,
was selected. They were married by
the magistrate, when both had signed
an agreement that afterwards neither
would attempt to see, visit, modest,
or annoy" the other; and also that
neither would solicit any aid, money,
or other assistance from the other, or
attempt to assert marital rights in
any way" Then they separated with
hearty handshake. Brown-who had
never seen his bride until the hour be.

which the bride seemed to share.

First Owners of Furs.

women who expect to buy furs this
winter show a lively interest in the
Eco animals said a Philadelphia ami
NAL keeper. They. want to find out
what the animal looked like that were
their fur coats and muffs before the
furs we're made over for them.
THE recent warnings against imita-
ton. furs have made them particular
ly curious. Somehow they imagine
that by comparing the fur OF live
lynx with cat or a rabbit they will
be able to detect the difference in dyed
furs. OF course they won't, but any
how this little excursion into natural
history will do them no harm.
Women with caracul coats are the
most persistent investigators. Very
few people except furriers know what
kind of an animal caracul grows on.
and the specimens of the Russian
sheep that produce real caracul and
the Chinese sheep that cheap wool
that is sold for caracul grows on have
been trotted out for inspection 80 often

A Mennonite Custom.

When a young man reaches the
manageable age and shows those
well-known symptoms the elders of
the church hold a meeting. They
decide If he is honest and reliable
to buy him a farm, usually an eighty.
Into the farm he puts his savings, and
then members or the congregation
raise the rest of the funds to pay for
the land.
This amount the young man must
pay back with small rate of inter
est. Thus by example and material
assistance they bind him by the
strongest bonds, that of debtor to the
church. They know full we'll. that
nothing can be lost, for the land is
always worth what it will cost After
the young people are located on their
farm the elders assist with advice
and help. Do you wonder that this

ODD HAUL OF OYSTER TONGs.

Reports coming from the Shoal
oyster rocks, in lower Wicomico
county, Maryland, about the catches
that are being made down there, will
send the season of 1910-1911 down in
history as the most profitable since
the Civil war, besides being the most
freakish.
A dredger cranked up small iron
safe which was literally covered with
spats. Clinging to the safe was set
of waffle irons and an ice skate. The
door of the safe was gone, as we'll as

The greatest catch of the season,

His crew cranked up the port dredge
full of oysters, and, dumping them out

a Navigation jug of apple brandy, the
seal intact and the contents ready for
use; sealed bottle of rye whisky, a

gold watch, of old English make.
Jug, bottle, compass and watch were
covered with spats. The watch had
stopped at exactly IL o'clock. There
were no initials or private marks on
either the outside or inside cases.
Captain Williams thinks that the COM
pass and watch can be repaired; and,
if so, they will be numbered among
his curios, of which he has valuable
collection.

This is done by slowly stroking Its
tail downward with the hand two or
three times, when the fish is at once

sleep, and remains in that position,
without a movement of any kind, for
about ten minutes. Even its eyes are
