SECRET WRITING.
Simple Cipher System That Keeps
Postcard Messages Private.

Simple Cipher System That Keeps
Postcard Messages Private.
Posta, cards would undoubtedly be
In much greater demand than they are
for purposes of correspondence but for
the fact that the messages they convey
are open to all through whose hands
they may pass. Yet this objection is
easily overcome.
There are some beautifully simple
cipherS that are almost impossible for
any one not in the secret to read. Only
by luck, for instance. can even the eX-
pert find the key to short message
written in the "trellis' or grill" cipher
1t is extremely simple, and thousands
of people use it to battle folks who take
an interest in the contents of post
cards.
To use it all you have to do is to cut
a few oblong holes in a blank post
card, place it over the postcard you
mean to write on and write your mes
sage in the holes. Then take the upper
card off and write some natural read
ing sentences round the cipher words.
Any inquisitive person reading the
card when it reaches your correspond
ent's house will find message of no
interest whatever. Only your CORE
spondent himself-or herself-can read
the real message, and that by placing
on the card blank card cut in exactly
the same way as your own.-Pearson' s

Milk In Winter.

Too many dairymen leave the milk
setting around while they finish up the
chores before breakfast, which allows
it to chill and even freeze, making it
more difficult to separate and causing
a part Of the cream to be left in the
milk after separation. Another COM
mon mistake is to allow the cream to
freeze, which will make it difficult to
churn, or if sold it will cause the
cream test to be lowered. Remember,
cream or milk that has once been
frozen never again will test what it
would if properly handled from the
time it is drawn from the cows udder
till it is sold or used. Hustle the milk
right to the house and separate it as
soon as it has been drawn and keep
the cream where 1t will not CONCEAL
in the least. Then when taking it to
market cover the can we'll and toss
an old sack or two or clean horse
blanket over it till you reach town
This is the only way to insure good,
uniform test during the winter.

QUALITY OF MILK.
Il Can Easily Be Determined by Using
the Candle Test.

Here is very simple WAY in which
TO test the quality Of the milk Won
buy. First stir the milk with spoon
in order to disseminate into the wholc
liquid the cream which may have
come to the surface. Then one Vpl
une Of milk Is poured into fifty vol
umeS of water-one 1uid ounce to tive
ANA half pints. \ candle IS lighted
IN dark room. Take an ordinpr}
drinking glass with Il tolerahN rai
and even bottom and hold il ri.A
above the candle at distance Of
about one foot from it. so rs TO be
able to see the flame of the candle
through the bottom of the glass Then
pour slowly the diluted milk into the
glass.
The fame becomes less bright as
the level of the liquid rises into the
glass. The fame is soon reduced to
dull white spot. A little more LIQUID
slowly added. SO as to avoid pouring
an excess. and the fame becomes ab
solutely invisible. All that remains to
be done is to measure the height of
the liquid in the glass. this being most
conveniently ascertained by dipping
into it a strip Of pasteboard and then
measuring the wet part. 1t should
measure not over one inch If the milk
Is pure. With good quality milk, di
luted and tested as stated. the depth
will be about seven-eighths of an inch
before the flame is lost to view
mixture of one volume of milk and
half Il volume Of water should show
depth of one and half inches. A
depth of two inches indicates either
partially skinned milk or mixture
of one volume of good milk and one
of water. and So on.
The process is based upon the close
relation between the opacity of milk
and the number Of fatty corpuscles
contained in it. Both Swimming and
the adding Of water work in the same
direction - namely, to decrease the
opacity of milk. The same cannot be
said Of the density. Swimming in
creases it. Adding water decreases it.
and the common test that consists in
the mere introduction Of the lacto.
densimeter in milk is worthless. as
skinned milk may have normal
density If care has been taken to pour
into 1t Il certain amount Of water

eases than pigs Of other breeds, are
from time of birth and will usually
demand a premium on the market.
The sows are said to be better
suckers than any other breed. They
seem to have great capacity to pro-
duce milk while sucking pigs, and the
sows are harder to keep on high flesh,
but as soon as their litters are weaned
the gain in flesh is very rapid.
While there seems to be lot Of talk
among the owners Of other breeds about
these hogs, they hold their own in
the show ring and the feed lot. There
is no doubt but that they will become
as generally bred as the leading breeds
Of swine.
While they seem to be the same as
any ordinary hog except for their feet.
it is stated that their intestines are
smaller, and this makes them kill out
larger percentage Of meat. The liver
also seems to be different from the Or
binary hog.
The full blooded mulefoot hogs get
as large rs any Of the other breeds
where they have the same care. The
only thing that will keep the!r size
down is breeding too young. There is
a wonderful demand for them, and
some breeders breed their gifts too
young. One Of the larger boars Of the
breed weighed go pounds at four years
of age.
There are large herds Of these hogs
in Sweden, Holland, Scotland, Norway
and Turkey, and they have been found
in different parts Of the world for cen
turtles. Sows have as many as seven
teen pigs to litter, although that is
too many and more than any SOW can
raise.

A HARD WINTER.
When tho Mercury Fell to Six Feet
Nine Inches Below Zero.

They were talking about hard win
tiers. The man on the cracker barrel
said he remembered winter when the
mercury fell to six feet nine inches be
low zero. and consequently he had new
err seen any weather since then that he
could call real cold.
"Oh. you pshaw!" said the man with
the ginger whiskers. six feet nine
inches! Oh, you pshaw!
Meaning that l put you in mind Of
AnaniasY" said the man on the cracker
barrel.
The man with the ginger whiskers
simply said: "Six feet nine inches Oh.
you pshaw"
"Then listen." said the man on the
cracker barrel. ut was the winter
when no snow fell. Nothing fell but
the thermometer that winter. We kept
our thermometer hanging on cherry
tree in the yard to give it a chance.
One morning the weather had been so
cold the mercury went down below zero
as far as it could and let the thermom-
eter have the credit Of showing it, but
1t couldn't do its duty by the weather
by pausing there, SO it busted the bulb
at the bottom and kept on falling. The
thermometer was six feet above the
ground. We dug the mercury out in
the spring, nine inches below the sur
face. So until you can trot out some
weather that is six feet and nine inches
below, don't talk to me about cold"
The man on the cracker barrel lit his
pipe and went out, and the man with
the ginger whiskers just said, "Oh, he
pshaw!'-New York Press.

The Dexter breed Of dairy cattle
is of Irish origin. 1t has been by
some assumed to be a cross of the
Kerry and Devon or Shorthorn, but
there is no definite information on
this point. The Dexter is more
compact and blocky than the Kerr
ry, Is somewhat lower set and is
usually black or red. The Dexter
is one of the smaller breeds of cat
tie and at maturity may not stand
over thirty-siX inches high. Mature
Kerry cows weigh from 500 to 600
pounds very often and bulls 500 to
1000 pounds. The Dexters weigh
considerably less. The Dexter bull

THE ART OF MILKING.
GentIeness With Dairy Cows Pays.
Strip the Udder Clean.


Milking is generally considered such
a simple operation that any common
laborer is supposed to be able to milk
There IS, however, an immense differ
ence in mixers. One mixer may be
able to get 20 per cent more milk than
another.
The mixer should not be allowed to
excite or worry the COW by loud talk
ing or abuse of any kind. A COW
should he MIXED quietly and quickly
AS she is largely a creature Of habit
special care should be taken to get all
the strippings. The first milk drawn
may contain as little as per cent of
fat, while the last runs from 6 to 10
per cent.
In milking the whole hand should
be used. closing first that part next to
the udder. Then the milk is forced
past the sphincter muscle by closing
the remainder of the hand. The cows
teats should always be dry when milk
ing. Wetting the teats is not only n
dirty, filthy habit, but it also allows
the teats to chap and become sore in
bad weather. If there is difficulty in
milking a COW dry small amount of
vaseline may be rubbed on the hands
It is beneficial rather than harmful
both in a sanitary way and in its ef-
fects on the teats.
The future Of many promising dali

milking soon after calving. The dairy

AGRICULTURE COLLEGES
COMMEND H0KE SMITH
Endorsements of Senator's Bill
Come From All Over the
United States
BY RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Holxe
Smith has received letters from agricul-
tural colleges all over the United States
commencing his bill to extend the bene-
fits of the agricultural colleges. He is
preparing testimonials in support of his
bill from all parts of the country, and
now that he has been assigned to the
committee on agriculture he will take
up the bill at once and press 1t for
passage.
He intends either to amend this bill
or to introduce an additional bill enjoin-
ing work of the agricultural department
in the matter of investigating the dues-
ton of markets for farm products with
view to gathering in detail the in
formation that will be most serviceable
to the farmers to aid them in the better
marketing of their crops, his position
being that not alone should the govern
ment of the United States and the state
governments aid the progressive work
of the farm by investigating and infOr-
nation as to the best methods of farm
ing, but also that they should furnish
informa ton as to the best methods Of
marketing the crop after they are rails
ed.
The marketing of crops will be a fea-
ture in this line on which he will seek
to obtain legislation. He has received
assurances of support in the senate for
his measures from a number of men,
bers and he is confident of success.
