places this may involve a great deal
of work, but even If the grading can

least part of it is done every year.
Too much stress cannot be laid on
the fact that we have no better disin-
fectant than good, old-fashioned sun
light. For this reason in planning our
barns much more attention should
be paid to the question of securing
sufficient light Dairy authorities sug-
gest that four square feet of glass
should be allowed for each COW in the
barn. Long windows reaching well
to the ceiling have been found the
most satisfactory.

1t is certainly true in dairying as in
any other business that ones success
In large measure is gagged by his
love and interest of the business.
1t is generally a conceded fact that
dairying yields a larger profit than
can be expected from any other
branch of farming. A good COW will
annually yield not much less than 800
pounds of butter which at % cents a
pound is worth SS4. Adding to this
the value of 5000 pounds of skim
milk at 90 cents per 100 pounds. and
ten dollars, which ought to be a fair
value for the calf, we would have n
total of $106. Allowing $50 as a fair
allowance for feed consumed, we still
have $56 as a profit to pay for the
labor and interest on the investment.
However, in addition to this direct
profit, we must not fail to lay stress
on the Importance of dairying as a
means of retaining the fertility of the
soil. By feeding the raw materials of
the farm to the dairy cows, we are
not only manufacturing high-priced
products but we are retaining upon
the farm almost the entire amount of
fertilizing material taken from the
soil by the growing crops.
By selling only cream, or butter
fully 95 per cent of the fertilizing
material contained in the feed is re-
tanned on the farm One ton of oats
takes from the soil as much fertility
as Al tons of cream. AS much fertil-
ity would be taken from the soil In
$26 worth of wheat as in 1890 worth
of cream
By dairying only about per cent
of fertility is taken from the soil, the
balance of the finished product being
made by plant life from water, air.
and sunshine, and as a result, dairy
farms in Europe have succeeded in
maintaining their soil fertility for
more than 1000 years. while some of
our grain farms have been almost ex-
hausted in SO years.
II one would be successful in the
dairy business he must necessarily
start with such cows as will give a
good foundation stock and from which
he can gradually build up herd. To
expect to build up a dairy herd from
animals suited especially for making
beef is beginning the business with a
serious handicap.
A comparison of the beef and dairy
types of animal is perhaps the most
effective way of showing what are the
| distinct dairy characteristics. The
beef breeds are blocky in form, are
heavy and sluggish. while the dairy
animal is spare and angular and re.

Miss Porsena of Foozleum,
AS oft she'd done before.
Sent out a call to play at bridge
Sent out from door to door.
She sent the invitations
And named a trysting day,
khe bade her messenger go forth
East and west and south and north
And summon to the fray.
Horatia came to visit
Horatia knew few games;
She knew some of the picture cards
And knew some of their names.
She thought the queen of diamonds
AS cunning as could be
And said "Since you've the party planned
I'll sit right down and take a hand
And play at bridge with thee"
Then outspake Mrs. Lartius,
woman proud was she.
With manner grand: Il take hand
And play at bridge with thee"
And outspake Mrs. Slammer.
OF bluest blood was she:
Look to your hand. for 1t takes sand
To play at bridge with me-"
The four sat calm and silent;
Miss Porsena she dealt;
Horatia opened up her purse
None knew how cool she felt.
She took the first trick gayly
And jumped a joyous jump,
Then carelessly flung down card
And asked: What was the TRIUMPH"
She outplayed Mrs Lartius,
And exc the Slammer dame,
Referring to the book of rules
To see about the game.
She won all of their money
And rose from where she sat
And said she must be going
For she must buy a hat.
Miss Porsena of Foozleum
She gasped in sore dismay,
The Slammer and the Lartius danes
Cannot forget that day.
With signing and with wonder
Still is the story told
How Miss Horatia played at bridge
Until her feet got cold.

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance OF
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health of ev-
cry woman is regularity of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad BREATH frequent headaches,
pimples and general air of lassitude,
is in most every case due to consti-
patton or indigestion. or both There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, is
n combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsln. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
Or. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
tonic laxative. mild in its action,
pleasant to the taste and positive in
It's effect, Strengthening the muscles
of stomach and bowels so that after
a short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
lions without assistance.

by druggists everywhere in SOC and

 WINS SUIT FROM
 DR. B. W. WHITE

The much discussed suit brought by pr. Robert J. Lynch against Dr. B. w.. White, has finally been decided in pr. Lynchs favor by the supreme court of errors which today handed down a decision sustaining Judge Howard J. Curtis of the superior court. Judge Curtis enjoined Dr. White from lay ing pipes in a pentway in the rear of pr. Lynch's property at Courtland and John streets and also enjoined pr. White from using the strip as. a pas sageway for automobiles. From this decision pr. White appealed to the supreme court.
 The pentway in question is 16 feet wide It has been used in common by the occupants of the block in which Dr. Lynch lives and Dr. White, whose property faces on State street, has also used it. When Dr. White con- verted his stable into a garage and attempted to lay sewer and other pipes in the strip, injunction proceed ings were brought Dr. Lynch said the pentway was only for the use. of occupants of the Courtland street block and not for people in State street. Dr. White claimed his deed of purchase gave him the right to use the strip:
 Deeds to all property abutting the pentway were submitted to Judge Curtis as evidence and he finally de- cided that Dr. Whites deed gave him no right to the use of the pentWay'

There is regret that condemna- tion proceedings and their attendant delays were necessary, but since there was no other, way out of it they are glad that the city's stand has been upheld. John F.

COOKED TO DEATH IN BOWELS OF BIG ITALIAN STEAMER Heroic Efforts of Fellow Mariners Proved of
 No Avail Five Men Roasted Alive When Steam Pipe Bursts
 Below Deck

New York, July 20-A dozen seamen. from captain to coal passer fought with each other for several minutes for a chance to endanger their own lives in order that fellow mariners might be saved. But their efforts were in vain as only one of six, caught below decks in the fireroom of the Italian liner Principe Di Piemontae when the branch steampipe leading from the port engine to the main boilers, burst, last Wednesday, was alive when help reached him: Five others had been cooked to death. in the bowels of the big Italian liner
 The story of death and heroism was brought to port with the liner, today
 Thirty-seven firemen and water tenders were working in the engine and firerooms when the pipe suddenly burst, filling the entire compartment with live, blinding soalding steam There was wild roar and buzz as the water sand~steam spurted through the room that was heard in every part of the vessel Captain Domencione was on the bridge when he heard the noise. He Instantly realized what had Happened and surrendered the bridge 70 a lieutenant and rushed to the en- zine room entrance.
 When he reached the Aengine room
  who had mana ged to get up the iron ladder from the steam-filled room The captain called for volunteers and every man in the engine room force stepped forward. All tried to get down the narrow ladder at once but the captain and chief. engineer went first however, shutting off as best they could the steam from the battery o1 boilers.
 Five dead and one terribly injured man were brought up from the fire room. Twenty-two others had escap- ed many of whom had been slightly burned. The port engine was. then cut out and the remainder of the voyage made at reduced speed with one en- zine. The bodies of the dead, who i'll. cluded the first assistant engineer and the chief of the stokers, were brought to port and will be buried here.
 Because of the early hour few oi the passengers knew of the accident and there was no panic.
