deserves a short period of rest from
her labors every season.
We aim to give the cow about
three or four months rest out of ev-
cry season, feeding and caring for
her, with view to intensive dairying
the remainder Of the year. This not
only enables the cow to do her best
while being MIXED, but yields US
greater returns for the time and labor
expended in handling her, and her
dairy products.
OF course the same rule will not ap-
ply to each individual member of the
herd, as some can be dried up with
very little effort, while some will milk
right up to the time they drop their
calf.
In either case we discontinue feed
ing those rations which are conducive
to a profuse milk flow, for from two
to four months before calving time,
and so far, we have always been sue
cessful in drying up any COW in time
to allow her good rest before it was
necessary to begin milking her again.
Regularity in feeding is important

CAULIFLOWER NOT
HARD TO MANAGE
Rich Earth and Abundance of
Moisture Are Two Most I'M
portant Factors.

Many consider the culture OF cauli-
flower the same as cabbage. In many
respects it is similar, but it differs in
a number of ways.
In many of the southern states the
caulifower plants are set out in au-
tumn and they live through the win
ter and head up quite early in the
spring. In the central or northern
portion of the country the plants are
grown in early spring, and kept IN
hotbeds of only moderate heat, or In
cold frames, and in either case should
be given plenty Of room and Iree
circulation of air to prevent the plants
being too spindling or tender. For late
or autumn caulifiower, the seed may
be sown in May or early June.
Very rich earth and abundance OF
moisture are the two most important
factors in the culture of cauiifiower.
Close proximity to lakes, streams OF
the sea helps to insure a good croE,
as the dews are so much heavier.

(By M. CovERDELL.)

(By M. COvERDELL.)
Most farmers seem to breed the
cow with no concern as to her re-
sourcefulness or enduring qualities.
She is bred at an early age; bred
again just as soon as she will come in
heat after her first calving; held right
to her milk as nearly as possible to
the next calving time, and handled
thus until she is worn out, and no
longer useful.
With such management, her I'M
born calf will have much of its susie
nance taken from it on account Of the
nourishment going toward keeping up
the COW, which results in a weakened
offspring, and this influence gradually
yields a most deteriorating effect on
the grade of the herd in general, since
each succeeding calf will be still more
undesirable than the one before it.
We have seen cows whose nature
rebelled against such treatment, and
invariably these animals positively re-
fused to come in sufficient heat to be
gotten with calf. This shows, con-
clusively, that the COW requires and

Kidding POULTRY
OF LICE IS URGED
Chickens Enjoy Natures Way by
busting in Light, Dry Earth
Best Dust Baths.

Natures way of Kidding poultry OF
lice is frequent busting of light, dry
earth. Chickens seem to enjoy moth
ing better. and certainly nothing does
them more good.
Birds are sometimes yarded on the
farm to prevent their getting into the
garden, but wherever they are they
should be provided with some sort OF
dust bath.
In the summer the best dust baths
are made by spading places in the
ward, each about yard square and
ten inches deep. II there are any
stones in the dirt, it should be sifted
Care must be taken to have the dirt
fine and free from pebbles, or the
hens will not use it. Make the place
where the sun can shine on it, so as
to keep the dirt dry, and after every
rain the dirt should be turned over
with spade or fork.
If they can have such place to
dust themselves, the fowls will easily
keep their bodies free frcE lice.

has been phenomenal.
l Mrs. Swan could keep busy all the
time designing unusual cards and ia
vors in her little shop, but she some
times energies from the hiding place
to cut her impressions of things out
side. At children's party she ap-
peared dressed as a large pippin apple.
An enormous red and yellow apple
with a funny, chubby face painted on
1T enveloped her. The children at the
party were told to write down any
word on piece of paper and to push
it into the apples funny mouth. Then,
as she danced jig around the room,
she cut out the figure that word sug-
gested to her and pushed it through
the mouth, and the resultant shape-a
fanciful sprite or weird animal, goblin
or fairy delighted the little people
whom she studied to amuse.
But Mrs. Swan, though she is among
the successful business women in New
York, has only begun her career
From her point of view, this paper
cutting work is only a side issue. The

WORK AROUND FARM
DURING THE SPRING
Good Plan to Clip Work Horses
Clean Seed Before Planting
Gull Poultry Flock.

Mighty good plan to clip the horses
before the spring work begins-but
not too soon.
Do not rush the work in the gardens.
Time will be saved by waiting until
the ground gets warm, no matter what
the date may be.
Are you going to SOW seed without
cleaning it, and then raise a big crop
of weeds? Buy, beg or borrow fan,
ming mill.
Never buy seed from dealer in a
far-away city, unless he is willing to
guarantee that it is pure If he will
not guarantee his seed, be sure it is
wrong.
Getting seed corn from the crib in
the same old, haphazard way this
spring? Or, perhaps you are paying
fancy prices to dealers rather than
save your own seed? Either way is
bad business.
Do not let the trees from the nursery
lie in the wind a single hour without
covering with a wet gunny sack or
damp earth. The latter Is better.
Best way is to have your nursery
orders in long before planting time,
with instructions to ship when you are
ready to receive them, and not day
before.
Get rid of all the fuzZy-wuzzy old
hens and roosters. Remember that
any hen over two years old is not
worth her keep.
It is a pity to put sitting hens, or
hens with chicks, into old, louse-rid-
den houses, when bit of burning sui
phur. a spraying with kerosene and
soap, or a whitewashing will make the
premises sweet and clean. Going to
try it?
Rake every bit of rubbish from the
orchard, leaving not thing under
which a bug may hide to hatch out
trouble later. Suppose it does take
few hours to do it-how can we en-
ploy the time to better advantage?
II the garden is plowed too early 1t
will be lumpy, and things vegetable
will not do well on Jumps. Harrow and
disk, and then again, and once more,
until the ground to the depth OF SIX
inches is fine and fluffy.

WHITE GRUB A MOST
TANTALIZ!NG PEST
No Way of Preventing Its Depre-
dations Other Than to ThWart
Its Propagation.
CBy M. N. EDGERTON.)

In connection with the work of grow
ing strawberries the white grub is a
most tantalizing opposing force. Be-
cause of the manner in which it works
there is no way of preventing it's dep
relations, other than by preventing its
propagation.
Land in sod is the favorite place of
these grubs, hence it is good policy to
fallow such land two seasons prior to
setting to strawberries. This is the
only way to clean them out effectually.
AS it is not good for land to lie idle
and bare for such a length of time, it
is best to grow some sort of hoed crop.
Corn is preferable to potatoes, because
the grub seems to thrive on potato
diet, feeding. as it does on the tubers.
The practice of growing corn after
sod and following with peas is a good
one. Thorough cultivation of the corn
row kills the grass roots, and the pea
crop enriches the soil, both in humus
and plant food.
But even when all due precautions
have been taken, the grub often re-
mains, although in greatly reduced
numbers. It's presence may be detect
ed by the behavior of the plant at
tackled When a plant fails to keep
up with it's fellows in growth and
vigor one may be sure there is trouble
somewhere, and many times one of
these grubs will be found at the base
of the plant, feeding on it's roots.
AS this is the only portion Of the
plant attacked by the grub the plants
cannot be protected by the use of poi
sons. It is not often that the plant
attacked can be saved, but the killing
of the grub will save other plants, as a
grub goes from one plant to another,
destroying dozen or more If un-
checked.

things you can see, like dogs. 1t ex-

New England conscience" and a
southern accent"
At the exhibition Mrs. Swan made
use of this peculiar gift. People who
came to her had but to name some
thing they were thinking about and
Mrs Swan would cut out her impress
sion of it.
"Cut out your impression of love,
suggested the sentimental schoolgirl
as she deposited her fifteen cents be-
fore Mrs. Swan, who Immediately be-
gan to snip the paper. Then she held
out a perfect silhouette of her impress
sion-a mixture of goblin and Gu
pid, with large ears and a cane in his
hand.
HE has a cane," Mrs. Swan ex-
planned, because he is totally blind.
His large ears show that he Is eager
to hear things, and there are little
horns on his head, too, to show that
love likes to be a little devilish, but
really can't"
Her next visitor, a dreamy poet,
asked for "elation over the approach
of spring." Someone else suggested
a militant suffragette and then came
such various suggestions as plum pud-
ding, mischief, a gloom, wine, prickly
heat-this from an anxious young
mother. Always Mrs. Swan was quick
and clever and showed such downright
skill in handling her scissors that she
proved herself to be silhouette cut

hibition Mrs Swan awoke and found

one of the most popular at the exhibit

The result was increased customers
They stood three and four deep at the
fence that surrounded her booth. AT
the end of the nine days Mrs. Black
awarded her twenty-ive-dollar prize

earned from cutting the silhouettesi
made a neat beginning for Mrs
! Swans business career.
AS an outcome of the exhibition Mrs
Swan received an offer almost imme-
diately to go into little favor shop
| with two other women where she
could make and sell her unusual cards
and curious cut-outs. Mrs. Swan &C
cepted the offer. for she had taken a
