DAINTIES FOR cHILDREN'S PAR
TIES.

1t is often a difficult problem to find
the right kind OF Il sweet to serve at
a children's party, where the 1000
must be simple, attractive and whole
some.
The birthday cake is something that
every child may look back upon as
the most wonderful Of all cakes. II
an angel food is baked, frosted and
the center used for the life candle,
with little tapers around it number
ing the years, the edge finished with
a beading Of tiny colored candles, 1t
will not be much work or expense,
and the joy of the little people will
be ample reward for the effort.
Pineapple Lemorade.-This Is de-
licious drink enjoyed by young and
older people. For each person allow
a half cup of grated pineapple, the
juice of one lemon, two tablespoonfuls
of sugar and a half cup of boiling wa
ter. When cool add cup of cold wa
ter for each person. Strain and chill
before serving.
Grape GeIatine.-Soak a package OF
gelatine in a pint of cold water for
five minutes; then add three pints of
hot sweetened grape juice. Stir until
the galatine is well dissolved, then
pour into small molds to harden.
Serve with whipped cream and gar
nish with seeded grapes which have
been dipped into boiling strip and
cooled. This geIatine makes deli
cious dessert to serve with the cake.
Candy mice and frogs may be formed
and colored with chocolate and fruit
coloring. These may be used as ia
1ors. Many pretty little candies OF
different forms that are not too rich
may be purchased, if one cares to go
to that expense.
Brownie Sticks.--Roll out strips of
plain pastry, roll in the form of sticks,
bake and then dip in melted sweetened
cholocate. Pile faggot fashion on a
paper dolly.
Children love little surprises, like
a small gift in the shell Of walnut,
from which the meat has been re-
moved Glue or tie the halves togther.
There is no child, however FORUM
ate in gifts, who is not delighted to
have something to carry home. This
makes the party complete and long
remembered

are fed.
Do not feed calves more grain than
they will clean up in short time.
Liberal feeding with foods contain
ing plenty of digestible protein and
plenty of exercise are conducive TO
development of a good dairy calf.
The calf should have the first milk
from it's mother, for it possesses Ger
tain qualities which are very stlmu-
lating to its digestive organs.
Let the sunshine and plenty of pure
air into the nostrils of dairy cattle
and the germs of disease will die tor
want of a developing place.
To adopt modern dairy methods IN
many communities is likely to invite
unkindly criticism and sarcastic COM
mcnt and to inspire jealousies, but IN
time the example tells and the gen.
eral situation is bettered.
Sun. air. grass and outdoor exercise
are required to secure and maintain
superb health and vigor in our dairy
herds.
Inadequate ventilation and inaccess-
ability of sunlight are equally serious
faults in the construction of dairy
barns
The first few streams from each
tea contain very little fat but very
many bacteria. They work their way
up the channel Of the tea from with
out and find ideal conditions for their
rapid multiplication. If they are milk
ed out on the floor the gross yield
may be slightly lessened, but the pur
ity of the milk, so far as bacteria Is
concerned will be greatly improved.
Dairy experimentation shows that
no butter maker can make high class
goods from sour and infrequently de-
livered cream.
Clean, cold milk is the idea of the
modern milk producer.
When circumstances compel the
making of inferior cream into butter
pasteurization and special cultures
must be used to cover up the evil et-
fects.

is positively no excuse for allowing
COWS to do business only during the
summer. and then tending lot OF

lines Of business would stop every
thing and just keep their plants warm
and we'll lighted We would call them
poor business men. but that is just
what great many of dairymen are
doing. and wondering why their profits
are not larger
With the silo we approximate with
green. succulent and laXitive feed, so
we must have June climate, or, IN
other words we must have warm sta
bles for our COWS if we derive the
greatest feeding value from ensilage.

Successful dairy management re-

Registration IS not certitcation and
It has been aptly said that there IS

Actual milk yields are OF greater
Importance than ideal forms, large
milk veins and fancy color markings
No small part Of the bacterial dirt
in milk comes from the person and
clothes OF the mixer.
Nothing contributes more to the
steady thrift Of cattle than careful
and persistent attention to their every
day needs.
Short pasture, poor water supply,
insufficient shade and protection from
flies cause more injury to dairy cattle
than disease, parasites and prevent
able injuries.
Good care cannot be administered in
bulk Il is the steady every day de-
votion to the little details that add 10
the comfort OF the cattle that counts.
No calling in life brings a man iii
closer contact with the better class o.:

1t matters not how good bull may
be individually, he cannot head the
herd OF a painstaking breeder unless
he has an acceptable milk record back

1t is quite useless to depend upon
purchased COWS unless he is better
Judge Of them offhand than the owner
is after testing them, which is surely
not often the case.
The dairy COWS need bulk in her ra-
ton, but coarse, woody, indigestible
substances cannot be profftably con-
sumed.
We need only to give the common
COW proper care and feed to learn that
instead of being the 150-pound COW
she may be a 250-pound COW. This
shows that she is far better as dairy
COW than the average man is dairy
man.
