Keeping Help on the Farm.

The greatest problem in this section
is the keeping of help OH the farm.
Living near large town has its disad-
vantages. The boys who "hire out" find
the long drive, for they all have horses,
irksome after day in the field, and if
anything is sighted it is at our end of
the route.
Helpers in the house there are none.
Girls who must earn their own way pre-
fer town life every time. There are 80
many entertaining things to offset, the
drawbacks that they have no trouble in
making choice. There are picture
shows, theaters and congenial cOmpan-
ions.

bungling detectives methods to Lon

"You know the London barber?''
said the district attorney. "In lath-

steer clear of your mouth. He says
on the lather without any idea of
keeping your lips clean. You must
compress them tight against that white
storm, and even then!

PRODUCING GOOD
CREAM AND MILK
Farmers Not SO Much to Blame
for Their CareIessnesa as
Price Paid for the
Poor Article.

The education of dairymen in the
way of producing good cream and
milk is progressing. Some of the
of the west, are paying for cream ac
cording to it's real value and are care
fully grading it.
Time was under sharp competition
when the creameries took all kinds Of
cream just as it came and paid the
same price for good, bad and indiffer-
ent. 1t was not long before the
creameries found out that this did
not pay and now many of them are
separating the cream and grading it
according to condition. For instance,
number one consists of separator
cream which is delivered twice a
week in winter and three times a
week in summer. This must be rea-
sonably sweet and in good condition
and test at least 30 per cent butter
fat
Cream graded as number two in
cludes all hand separator cream de-
livered not less than once a week in
winter and twice in summer. 1t must
be reasonably clean, in good condition
and test not less than 20 per cent.
in butter fat. The lowest grade, num-
ber three. includes all gravity cream
and all hand separator cream which
tests less than 20 per cent. This
grade also includes all cream that Is
In poor condition even if it should test
more than 20 per cent
The creameries ought to have adopt
ed some system of this kind long ago
and 1t is their fault largely that they
have not been able to produce better
butter than they have Much of the
creamery butter on the market is
mighty poor stuff and it comes from
mixing good and bad cream.
Farmers are not so much to blame

BILL WAS USEFUL

A minister was assigned to a small
parish in England not long ago, and
upon his arrival found his new field of
labor all that could be desired, with
the exception of old Bill johnson. Old
Bill was very much addicted to look
ing upon the wine when it was red.
"Well, parson," one of the elders
said, slowly stroking his white beard,
cit would be a mighty bad thing for
the place if old Bill was to quit drink
ing
'Why, what do you mean, brother?''
the puzzled parson asked.
"Parson, it's like this" the elder
explained. "There amt no more con
vincing talker than old Bill. Every
time he gets drunk and sobers down he
gets somebody. to sign the pledge with
him. and the other fellow pretty near Y
always keeps it. .''-Pittsburg Leader.

QUALITIES OF
ARABIAN HORSE
Best Authorities Claim There
Never Was One OF That
Breed Spotted or Calico
In Color.

The best authorities on the Arabian
horse claim there never was a really
pure one of that breed that was spot
ted or calico in color. Even the cir
Gus men, however, have not nearly so
much use for the skewbald horse as
they once had. The small supply fills
their demand. They find that horses
of the draft breeds pull their wagons
better, while for ring uses the tougher
bone and sinew of the thoroughbred
or trotter recommend them. Still
some attractions die hard and few
spotted freaks are always to be found
beneath every big canvass. The
Arabian horse may briefly be describ-
ed as a thoroughbred on small scale.
There are many fine specimens Of the
breed in this country but more in
England. 1t is difficult to get really
good specimens out of the Sultan's do
mains. Not only is their expectation
prohibited by imperial decree, but
rivalry among the sheiks of the no.
madic Arabians which own the best
bands is so keen that good stations
can hardly be bought at first hands
and no one wants to pay much money
for poor individual and then go deep
down in pocket two or three times
more to place 1t on ship board.

Changes In Egyptian Life.

Egyptians who have been educated
in this country or who have been here
on business trips or simply as part
of their education, are working zeal
ously in their native land to have
their wives adopt many American
ideas and customs. In the last twen-
ty-five years American influence has
been felt greatly in Egypt. Many
fathers in Egypt are educating their
daughters to read and write English,
and have encouraged them to play in
many games just as English and
American girls do. Through that edu.

A horse should be watered before
feeding, and never given a large guam
tity of water after a meal, for the
simple reason that the water will wash
the food out of the stomach before
stomach digestion has taken place,
and the food VIII not be well prepared
for absorption; and besides it is some
times the cause of collie.
There is a popular idea that a warm
horse should not be allowed to drink
and, unlike great many other popu-
lar ideas, there is a little truth in it.
If you water a warm horse in the or
binary way letting him drink all that
he will, you are likely to have a foun-
dered horse on your hands. This is
especially SO If, at the time, the horse
is fatigued. Nevertheless, it is always
safe to allow him from six to ten swal
lows, no matter how warm he is. II
this be given on going into the stable
and he be allowed to stand and eat
hay for an hour and is then offered
water, he will not drink nearly SO
much as he would had none been
given before.
The danger is not in the first swaL
low, as we often hear it asserted, but
in the excessive quantities he will
drink if not restrained.
John splan, the great trainer,
writes: -
"As to water, l think that horse
should have all that he wants at all
times. man says: Why; will you
give your horse water before a racer
Yes, before the race, in the race, and
after the race, and any other time
that he wants to drink. When l say
give your horse all the water he wants
before the race, | do not mean that
you shall tie him in a warm stall
where he cannot get drink for FIVE
or six hours on a hot day, and then
take him to the pump and give him all
that he wants. What l mean is to
give him water often and. in that way,
he will only take a small quantity at
a time"
After long, continuous exertion the
system is greatly depleted of fluid
Nature calls for its replacement, and
this is the cause of thirst which
is so intense that, if the animal is not
restrained at this time, he may drink
much more than he needs.
