The Maintain Ash

Long ago people believed in witches
and evil spirits, who were going about
the country doing harm. They also
believed that the rowan (mountain
ASH had some charm to do away with
their evil powers.
So all the maidens wore the scarlet
berries Of the rowan in their hair, and
the young men carried canes made
from the branches Of the same tree.
The housewife hung branches of the
berries over her doorway, while her
good man hung the same about his
barns and stables, so the witches could
have no power over his sheep and cat
tie and horses.
For the same purpose they kept q
great hoop Of rowan branches.
Through this they made the young
calves and lambs jump. This act was
intended to keep sickness and death
away from them-at least the good
man thought so. Every animal had
to jump through the hoop whether he
wanted to or not, for the good man
switched his legs with a rowan switch
until the jumping was accomplished.

HIGH GRADE BUTTER
BRINGS BEST PRICE
Farmer With Small Herd Often
times Is Enthusiastically
Is Large Factor.

One reason the farmer with O small
herd does not make more money from
butter Is that he does not take pains
to make a high-grade product. The
man who is obliged to take a second
grade for his butter can in most cases
improve the quality by making few
simple changes in the meth DDS of pro-
ductiOn.
Use nothing but new and clean YES
sells in which to keep the milk. Musty
grain or feed If fed to cattle will faint
the milk. Do not attempt to churn the
cream before it is ripe or wait until
II becomes too sour. Wash and scald
all vessels after the milk or cream has
been emptied from them. Have two
sets Of vessels so that one set can be
placed in the sun while the other one
is being used. There is nothing that
equals sunshine In the production of
good sweet butter.
At this season and all through the
summer and fall when butter is scarce
at the local store, and private homes
find out that a farmer is making a
good grade Of butter there will be no
trouble for that farmer to market his
butter. Keep the cows producing, make
good butter and secure custsml!F for

care to practice any OF the intensive
culture methods.
Preparing Land.
Thus, such rotation as oats, wheat,
clover, corn and cabbage may be very
convenient, this rotation being capable
of notifications to suit individual
needs and preferences. For the early
varieties Of cabbage the land should be
plowed in fall or as early In spring as
possible; for the later varieties 1t is
time enough to pillow in June. The
land should be stirred deeply, during
and after blowing, every care being
taken to reduce it to it's finest possible
filth and to cover it with splendid
dust mulch for the conservation of
moisture. Not infrequently the best
cultivation Is done before ever q plant
Is set.
The first big mistake made by the
farmer is in the selection of plants for
transplanting. Often l have seen
them grow little spindly affairs in old
Jars located near the window by a
stove, and expect that these dollhouse
plants would develop into lusty cab
bages. That crop is foredoomGd to
failure; 1t never has a chance. These
first seed beds must be located where
the light and air can get at them, and
perhaps even q light frost. Then the
plants will be hardy and thrifty, full
Of vlgor to grow into splendid heads.
Mistake In TranspIantlng.
The second big mistake is made In
the transplanting itself; in fact, more
plants are ruined by this process than
by any other means. Doubling back
of the roots is what causes most of the
the transplanting woe, the machine
employed often proving incompetent
or the help careless. Cabbage growers
are practically unanimous on this
point: The roots must be interfered
with just as little as possible, and
must not be cut or pruned. Again
the plants, after being removed from
the seed bed should not lie exposed to
sun very long before planting. A dark
cloudy day is best for this operation
A great many men believe that there
is no better time than after a heavy
rain, when the soil is well soaked
but this has serious disadvantages. II

Increasing the Workers Efficiency.
Probably the greatest problem which
confronts the American public utility.
and in fact all, corporations, is how to
bridge the .chasm caused by the en-
forced increase in the cost of material
and labor and the decreased price for
which the product must be sold. Vari-
GUS expedients have been tried, some
Of which have proven of material adj
vantage. The holding company has
been instrumental in effectlng better
methods Of financing and managing,
while at the same time it has estab-
lished more economical methods of OPP
Grafton; but in the last analysis, a
higher type Of efficiency on the part
Of labor must be continually striven
for by all successful corporations, and
how to obtain this increased efficiency
Is a problem that calls for unrelenting

MAKER OF MISCHIEF
CARELESS TALkER Is OFTEN
CAUSE OF TROUBLE.
Most Misunderstanding Are Result Of
Exaggerated Reports Due to Aver
age Persons Inability to Give
Accurate Descriptions.

The inability to give accurate de-
scriptions is not to be counted vice.
That is a fault frequently due to i'm
perfect development of the powers Of
observation or of memory. 1t should
be recognized as such, and measures
taken to correct it by the cultivation
of such powers as will enable those
who possess them to accurately report
to others what they have seen or
what they have heard. Most people re-
spect truth and desire to be truthful,
but very few worship truth, as they
should, by efforts to reach 1t in their
intercourse with their fellOwmen. AS
much mischief may be done in society
by a merely careless talker with
poor memory who does not intend to
do any harm as by malignant liar
who spreads false stories with the in
tent to deceive.
Indeed, the majority of mlsunder-
standings and anOmOsities that arise
traced to exaggerated or misleading
reports Of what one has said about the
other. 1t is not so much what is said
as the manner and spirit Of the re-
mark, that should be conveyed, and
one who is incapable Of correctly re-
porting the spirit of a conversation
should refrain from attempting to con.
vey 1t to another. The exact words
may be reported in such way as to
convey false impression, or the spirit
of the remark may be correctly given
without the use of the exact words.
This fact is clearly recognized by
sharp lawyers, who, when the testi-
mony is injurious to them, will not
allow witness to give the substance
of conversation so as to convey a
true conception of its spirit, but insist
upon the exact words spoken, knowing
that in the effort to give them the
witness will be very likely to obscure
or distort their meaning.-Irish World.

(Ry W. A. FREEHOFF.)

I have seen a good many farmers
grow cabbages on more or less large
scale: but with the exception of most
of those who were really commercial
market-gardeners, they made failure
of the venture. This Is true In spite
of the fact that in many respects the
cabbage plant will endure more neg
lect and insults than other market
garden plants. Ignorance of the Inn
portant points regarding the cabbage,
alone, is responsible for most Of the
failures.
Many farms which now raise con-
siderable tobacco as a side line may
profitably be changed over to cab
bages, to give the soil variety, II the
owner will make up his mind to give
the humber plant the same care and
attention he paid to his tobacco. This
holds especially true in the vicinity of
large market centers.
Habits Of Plant.
At the very outset, 1t is necessary to
know something about the habits OF
the cabbage before planting any con.
siderable acreage. 1t is essentially q
gross feeder, requiring not only q
great abundance of the ordinary soil
fertility elements, but also great
amounts Of water always at hand
One hundred tons Of stable manure /:
none too much for an acre of average
land. But this fertility must be even
ly distributed over the land and thu
water must not make the soil wet anC
soggy; It must be well drained. Cab
bage will withstand great degrees Of
cold, as low as 20 degrees above zero
but 1t will not endure protracted ex
posture to dry air and hot sun.
Any kind of moderately heavy soil
easily workable and rich in lime, ma!
prove available for cabbage. But Il
is always well to bear In mind tina
local conditions will render any state
ment of this sort only general, as II
some sections one kind of soil may no
be as good as another kind in a differ
ent locality. Local conditions also in
fluence the other factors to a greater
or lesser extent. Market gardeners
resort to all sorts of rotations ant
practices in order to get the maximum
yields from small tract of land, bu
the general farmer will probably no

five and one-half quarters of milk at
the morning milking was slaughtered
at the usual time for the morning
milking, and her udder was found to
contain oply 81 quarts Of milk. In
this case of COW giving a moderate
amount Of milk, 1t was proven that a
little less than one-half Of the milk
was present in the udder before milk
ing commenced. 1t is probable that
in bodybuilding cows the proportion
Of the milk secreted during the milk
Ing period is still greater.

MILK SECRETION IS
PULLING PROBLEM
Good Reason for Believing That
1t Goes on All the While
! Between Milking Periods.

CBy PROF. o. c. CUNNINGHAM, Ohio
State University
There is good reason for believing
that milk secretion goes on all the
while between milking periods, but
that 1t is more intense during the proc
ess Of milking and that the larger part
Of 1t takes place then. One Of the
most evident proofs of this is the fact
that the capacity Of the milk cistern,
and other cavities of the udder are not
great enough to contain the amount Of
milk given when cow is In full flow
of milk. Fleischmann states that in
the case of an udder giving total vol
ume Of 6,700 cubic centimeters of
milk, he found the capacity of the I'D
der cavities was about 5000 cubic
centimeters or about six pints, while
1000 cubic centimeters or IA pints
of milk might be produced at one milk
ing. This shows the secretion of a
volume of milk greater than the total
volume of the udder itself and more
than twice as great as the volume of
the udder cavities. The relation be.
tween the volume or capacity of the
cavities Of the udder will not bear the
same relation to the total volume OF
the udder in different cases, because
some udders have larger proportion
of fleshy material, but in no case will
the capacity be as great as might be
supposed from the appearance Of the
udder when fully dlstended with milk
Another conclusive proof that Q
large part Of and probably more thar
one-half of the milk is secreted during
milking is found in the fact thai
when cow is slaughtered just before
time for milking, the udder does mo-
contain the amount Of milk that coult
be secured had she been MIXED al
usual. In one experiment of this kind
