HOW TO GROW BLACKBERRIEs
Fruit viii Not Thrive in Dry places,
Plenty of Moisture Is Needed
Cultivate Constantly.

Blackberries need plenty of mois-
ture and it will not pay to plant them
on the top of some dry knoll; for the
fruit will not grow to perfection in
such dry places, and it will be hard
and sour. Choose a place where the
ground is of good quality, and where
there is plenty of moisture.
Prepare the ground thoroughly by
blowing and narrowing before plant
ing, and make the ground mellow
down quite deep where you set the
plants. You cannot be too particular
in this espect--remember you are set.
ting them out for profit and not simply
to see whether they will grow or not.
They should be set about four feet
apart one way, and eight feet the
other way.
Keep the ground loose by constant
cultivation, and the sooner you can
get good large bush, the sooner you
will get fruit, and keeping the ground
loose viii help to keep it moist.

DAIRY HERD IN WINTER
First Essential Is That Cows Be
Kept Comfortable.
Right Kind of Feed Goes Long Way
Toward Bringing About contented
State OF Mind--severai I'M
portant Factors.
CBy w. M. KELLY

Good stable management is an i'm
portant factor in determining the
profits from the dairy herd during the
winter. The first essential is that the
cows be comfortable, because a COW
kept otherwise can never do her best.
She must have comfortable place
to lie down, stand up, move and
stretch her limbs and lick herself all
over the body. She must have sun
shine and plenty of light. She must
have pure air to breathe, and this
means that the stable must be pro-
vided with some system of ventila-
ton to give frequent change of air.
This need not be expensive, only a
little forethought and few dollars
worth of material and labor. She
must have good pure water at least
twice day, or better still, have an
automatic water basin at her side.
The stable should be cleaned daily,
and be thoroughly disinfected. The
ceiling floor and sides should be all
smooth and of concrete construction,
and the fixtures largely iron. 1t is not
expensive, and they are sanitary and
permanent
Large, smooth concrete managers for
feeding are about the best we know
of today, judgment and common
sense must be exercised in the meth
DDS Of feeding and handling the cows
Fixed rules in feeding are not prac-
teal.
Overlooking is wasteful; underfeed-
Ing is Improbable. The cows must be
we'll nourished at all times, but If
given more than they need for main
tenance and production, they waste
it as rule.
Never stir up dust or foul doors at
milking time. If you do a lot of it
is sure to get into the milk.
Whether to feed the cows just be-
fore milking is much debated ques-
ton. 1t is not at all dangerous to
feed them little grain, provided you
stir up no dust or disagreeable odors.
AS rule, the cows win give down
their milk more freely when they have

DAIRYMEN VERSUS THE DAIRY
Man Is Chief Factor in Production Of
Clean Milk, According 20 Medical
Experimenters.

A number of American medical ex-
perts and experimenters in hygiene
made study to determine the most
important factor in the production of
clean milk-the dairy or the dairyman
and have come to the conclusion
that the dairyman is the chief factor
and the dairy of secondary Importance.
The clean dairyman may be trans
ported from dairy to dairy and can
make clean milk wherever he goes.
1t is said that if all the nonessentials
or matters of secondary Importance
are eliminated, the factors which even
alone are sufficient to produce under
the conditions found in ordinary
dairies milk so clean that it will
have with great regularity bacterial
count less than 10000 bacteria per
cubic centimeter are as follows:
Milking with dry hands into covered
milking pals, the proper washing and
sterilization of milking pals and milk
cans, cooling the milk by placing the
cans in tanks of cold water or ice wa
ter, regular laboratory testing of the
milk for bacteria, and payments based
on the laboratory tests.

How Germans Aid French.

One of the newest French bomb
throwers is as simple as the brass
guns that small boys delight to play
with. 1t consists of German shrap-
mel shell case mounted on a wooden
stand, with spike in front to anchor
it firmly to the ground. The case of
the shrapnel remains intact after it
has been fired, as its object is to act
like small cannon; its end opens
and the shrapnel with which it is
filled is driven out by a charge of
powder at the bottom of the case.
These shell cases are carefully picked
up by the French to be used against
the enemy. They are cut down, and
a. touchhole is bored in them. The
cost of the finished bomb-thrower is
but little over one dollar, and it's
weight is negligible, while great
number of them may be turned out
without the slightest difficulty. To
use them charge of powder is poured
into the shell case, and bomb we'll
loaded with explosives, is placed upon
it. The charge is fired by the touch
hole, and the bomb is thrown into the
air. 1t turns clumsily over and over
like a large sausage, but it finds its
target with remarkable accuracy.

ASHES GOOD AS FERTILIZER
They Not Only Contain Potash and
Phosphoric Acid, but Also
Magnesia and Lime.

The farmer who burns wood for
heating and cooking should carefully
store the ashes and not permit them
to leach, as they have a peculiar fer
tilizing value. They not only contain
potash and phosphoric acid in appre-
cable amounts, but also contain mag
nesia and lime, and when applied to
the land they also act indirectly to
increase the available nitrogen con-
tent of organic matter in the soil.
Ordinary house ashes contain on
the average about eight or nine per
cent of potash and two per cent of
phosphoric acid. Investigators have
considered that there is enough pot
ash and phosphoric acid in a pushed
of ashes to make it worth 20 OF 25
cents. Besides that, some 10 or is
cents additional might be allowed for
the ''alkali power" of the ashes. This
power is that which enables ashes to
rot weeds and to ferment peat The
potash content of ashes will be lost If
they are permitted to leach, and care
should be taken to store them in a
dry place.

KAvALA BONE OF CONTENTION
Greece and Bulgaria Have Been Tor
Many Centuries at Odds Over
This Port.

Kavala, the Greek port where, it
appears, a new allied expedition is to
be landed, has long figured conspicu-
ously in Balkan disputes and for a
double reason. 1t happens that the
welter of races which makes the d.
vision of Macedonia everywhere diff
cult is absolutely inextricable at Ka-
vala, and that the town is of much
commercial Importance as the center
of the district in which the very best
Turkish" tobacco is grown. Conse-
Quently, whenever Greek and Bulgar
have cleaned the slate of acrimonious
questions there always is the standing
grievance of Kavala to keep them
asunder. 1t was the Greek kings re-
fusal to approve the proposed cession
of Kayala to Bulgaria that caused the
first resignation of the Venizelos min
istry and dashed the hopes of the al
lies for a new Balkan league Kavala
is famous for landing of quite diff
ferent nature from that now imminent.

landed there on his way to Philippi,

contented minds, and little of the
right kind of feed goes long way
toward bringing about this contented
state Of mind. Never clean the stables
just before milking, for it will stir up
a tenfold worse odor than any feed
the cows will eat.
Surrounding conditions have much
to do with the milk-producing value of
any ration.
Dairy cows cannot make as good
use of whole grain as they can Of
grain that has been ground.
In the generality of cases, heifers
with their first calf do not show as
high a test of butterfat as they do at
q more mature age.
A period of rest before freshening
will usually produce larger flow oE
milk than where the animal is nailked
close up to calving.
A man can better afford to sell but
ter at the cost of production than to
sell grain, that is, when the selling
price of the butter includes the feeds
and labor at their market value.

RARE ADDITION TO MUSEUM
Specimens of Congo Game, Insects
and Snakes Collected by a Member
of the Staff.

The bongo and okapi are animals
that are seen in their natural state
only in museums, after they are
stuffed. They are extremely rare
both inside and outside of museums
and the American Museum of Natural
History is shortly to be enriched by
mounted specimens of beth, along
with some $4,000 African insects, 500
snakes and 10000 catalogued subjects
OF all kinds. The collection is the
result OF six years work in the Bel
gian Congo by Herbert Lang of the
museum staff. Among the 10000 spec
linens are $500 examples of imple-
ments, pottery and textiles related to
savage arts and crafts, including the
art of living. The number of speci-
mems is so large that one is moved
to wonder what the natives had left
to sell to the next explorer after Mr..
Lang had finished his collection. The
okapi is a zebralike animal, very
timid. and only two or three white
men have ever seen it. Mr.. Lang cap
tured baby okapi, which had been
deserted by its mother on the ap.
preach of the hunters. The baby got
along well until the supply of milk
gave out, and then it's pelt was added
to the collection. Beside the bongo
and okapi skins the collection includes
skins of the giant Gland, white rhi.
noceros, lions, elephants, buffaIos and
many rare birds.-C Christian Herald.

a clear white egg, while Boston wants
a rich brown color; and the interme-
date cities, all the way across, may,
in a way, take almost any color; but
most city retailers find it to their
advantage to separate the colors to
suit individual customers.
But never, no never, fool away very
much time with scrub or mongrel
stock on the farm, and don't try to
keep too many breeds or you may soon
have a lot of mongrels yourself.
Even on the regular poultry ranch
where many breeds are kept, strange
"mixeries" sometimes happen in
some most unexplainable way.
It is often claimed that mixed
breeds or scrubs" lay better than
purebreds. but careful investigation
will generally prove that the feed,
care, and perhaps the age of the birds,
has more to do with the egg product
than the simple fact that they are
cross-bred.
But while different markets demand
different colored eggs there is no mar
ket on this continent, at least, that
demands a dirty or stained egg, or
an egg that has been under broody
