PARTICULAR CARE FOR MILK
Fiavors in Dairy Products May Be
Prevented by Keeping Cows
From Eating Weeds.

Don't let your dairy products taste
OF weeds or grass, if you can avoid 1t.
Because butterfat absOrbs f1avors, par
ticular care should be taken in han
ding milk, cream and butter, accord
Ing to N. E. Olson, instructor in
dairy husbandry in the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
THE principal 1avors derived from
feeds are the weedy flavors," said Mr..
Olson. I'm the spring creameries have
trouble with the wild onion flavor. This
Is something that the farmer cannot
prevent, and is caused by early pastur-
ing.
Another common flavor is the half
grass flavor, produced from green feed
In the early spring. 1t can be tasted
In milk, cream, and also In ice cream.
1t is found In practically all dairy
products in the spring"
The method of preventing these fla
vors is keeping the cows from eating
weeds, pointed out Mr.. Olson. Weedy
patches in pastures should be fenced
Off so that the cows cannot get to them.
Other f1avors are produced through the
feeding Of alfalfa and silage. If silage
is fed, it is advisable to feed it after
milking rather than before.

CHICKS INFESTED WITH LICE
Mother Hen Should Be busted With
Some Good Insect Powder-Make
Examination Often.

Where chicks are raised with hens,
they are likely to become infested
with lice. IF the lice get very nu-
merous, they greatly retard the chicks
growth and may even cause their
death. The hen should be powdered
thoroughly with some good insect
powder before she is put In the coop
with the chicks, and at intervals of
several days or a week thereafter.
The baby chicks should be examined
for lice, particularly on the head,
under the wings and about the vent.
If any are found, little grease, such
as lard, should be rubbed on in those
places. Apply grease moderately, as
too much will injure the chicks. The
chicks should be examined frequently
and the treatment repeated If lice are
found on them.

Now fate plays strange freaks with

Now fate plays strange freaks with
It's victims. 1t was destiny, clean, pre-
else and circumstantial, that led the
maynard Dan and Lowry on one of
their marauding expeditions to the vi
cinity of Earlvifle. They burglarized
big mansion near the town. Their
loot was opulent, but the sight of q
dark and lonely house in Earlville, the
parsonage, was temptation in their
path to add to their ill-gotten store.
"Easy job, getting in here" OBJ
served Red, as they pulled down the
curtains and lit lamp.
Doesn't look as if the owner had
much" supplemented Dan, as he
glanced about sparsely furnished sit
ting room, while his companion pro-
ceeded to investigate q bureau in the
adjoining sleeping chamber. He came
out, throwing up his hands despair
ingly.
Lets go. Dan," he suggested.
"Darned stockings, mended shirts,
WORKOUT summer underclothing-in
this freezing weather. The mans a
pauper who lives here"
'Lookv' suddenly exclaimed Dan,
and pointed to photograph on the
wall. Then he picked up a book and
examined its title page. It bore the
name: "Alger Trescom."
They stood staring strangely at each
other. "Red," said Dan, in strained
and subdued voice, "we're cadsl''
''Worse than that ~ observed Red,
and he looked shamed and serious.
"It's the guy who saved US In the city.
What you up TOT" he demanded, as his
pal drew from his pocket a package
done up in a handkerchief, placed 1t
on desk and proceeded to write on
blank paper pad.
"The right thing" answered Dan
shortly. He set the package on the
note. "Come on" he said, I'm bad,
but human"
Returning to his humble home an
hour later, Alger Trescom was fully
astounded to find the note left by Dan.
It read:
"We're the guys you tried to help
in the city. We had just visited an
other place when we struck your joint.
Found out it was yours, and it's against
our principles to work any district
you're In. Return the swag and tell
'em they're safe, If they're friends Of
yours"
Opening the handkerchief, Trescom
found diamonds, jewelry, money.
There was an inscription on brooch.
1t had been a gift to "Viola, from Her
Loving Father" Trescom followed the
clue. There was Miss Viola Duane,
the daughter Of wealthy banker, two
miles from the village. He went there
the next day.
It was the charming Miss Viola her
self who listened to his strange story.
She was glad to recover the jewels. A
keen interest came into her gentle
eyes as the worthiness Of this strug-
CLING philanthropist was made clear
to her.
And 10! from that interest it came
about that friendship grew into love
and Alger Trescom soon had a life
partner whose wealth enabled broad
er scope for the generous qualities Of a
truly good man.

I have given nearly all Of my little
store OF savings to redeem you. Sure
ly the sincerity of my interest in your
behalf should entitle me to your conf
dence."
'Give him his chance, Dan," re-
marked the other Of the two criminals,
known as Red Lowry.
They listened respectfully enough,
as almost with tears in his eyes the
earnest young minister attempted to
show them the folly Of their ways. He
told them his name and the address
Of sister In the city whom he was
visiting for the week. He asked them
to come and see him there and he
would try to find them honest work.
you're good sport" announced
Derby Dan effusively, when the lecture
had concluded. 'It's a waste of time
maybe, for you do not understand our
ways, but you've gone down into your
pocket for strangers, you are the right
sort and soon as we hit another job
We'll send you back the coin with in
terest."
"Surely you do not contemplate an
other crime!'' gasped the Mortified
good man.
There's only one trade we under
stand, boss" said Red Lowry. "Its

it's got to produce something, see?
You're fine sort and if ever we can
help you out Well be on hand"
The Rev. Alger Trescom went on his
way feeling that he had come across
a proposition beyond his mastery, and
the two young men waved him an airy
farewell with grinning, amused faces.
They did not appear at his sisters
house, as Trescom had hoped, and the
latter was little grewsome as he re-
fected that about all the money he had
In the world had gone into an unsuc-
cessful experiment.
A week later Trescom was back at
Earlville, where he had held the pas
torate Of a small village church for
over a year. It was poor charge, the
salary barely sufficient to sustain the
little parsonage and pay the old woman
living at its rear, who kept the house
in order and furnished his meals. The
heroic spirit Of the young preacher,
however, had resisted the temptation
of a better-paying charge. He had
made friends, he felt that he was doing
good In the community and he loved
his little flock. They were unable to
do more than they had In money way,
and he never even limited at the.depri-
walton and hardships he was suffering
fus their sakes.

VENTILATION OF HENH0USES
Reason Many Fowls Seek Roasting
Places In Trees Is Because Build
Inus Are Too Warm.

Henhouses need to be ventilated in
the summer dne as much as in the
winter time. The reason many hens
go to the trees to roost is because the
house is too warm for them. At least
ten inches Of perch space should be
provided for the fowls, so that they
will not have to crowd; and the more
open the house is during the summer
months the more contented the fowls
will be. A small hole cut on the north
side Of the poultry house about two
feet off the floor and left open during
the day and night will do great deal
to cool the house down and to remove
any foul odors All windows should be
removed and screens inserted also the
doors should be left wide open.

SILO OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
Huge Receptacle Means Saving Of
From 8 to 10 Cents In Cost of
Producing Butterfat.

Practical dairymen who are silo
users say that the silo on the farm
means a saving of from eight to ten
cents pound in the cost of producing
bGtterfat. Beef feeders say that ensi-
lage saves from 81 to $3.50 per hun
dred pounds in producing beef.
Feeding experiments bear out these
statements. On this basis ensilage I'M
der normal conditions is worth 81 a
ton. With an increase Of 80 per cent
in feed prices 1t is worth So per ton.
Reports from farmers show an av-
erage cost Of $275 a ton for corn en-
silage, including all factors incident
to its production. The inadvisability
of doing without silo seems to be
more important than the question Of
whether to build one.

1t was at a police station in the heart
of a great city to which the Rev. Alger
Trescom was visitor, that the young
clergyman in question had his first ex-
perience of the ways Of the unfortu-
nate and criminal.
A turnkey had just shown him
through the cells. His sensitive spirit
had awakened with sympathy and sor-
row at what he witnessed. Two pris-
oners, arrested for robbing a man Of
Sal, had particularly attracted his at
tention. They were boyish, ingenious
and bright-faced. When he came up
into the courtroom, swayed by an I'M
pulse he could not resist, Mr.. TrescOm
had sought out the man who had been
robbed. His little store Of money
amounted to less than fifty dollars. 1t

he came outside he saw them convers-

FEED COWS BEFORE CALVING
Practical Dairymen Agree That Prepa-
ration Has Much to Do With
the Amount of Milk.

(By H. H. KILDEE, University Farm,
ST. Paul. Minn)
The proper time to begin feeding a
dairy COW is six or eight weeks before
calving, and practical dairymen agree
that this preparation has more to do
with the amount Of milk and butterfat
which cow produces during the lactA-
ton period than does the feeding dur
ing any other period.
For cows calving during the sum-
mer or early fall most dairymen like
to have small pasture away from the
herd but with an abundance Of grass,
and, in addition, they like to feed
suitable grain mixture. Corn silage,
with clover or alfalfa hay and limit
ed grain ration of three parts ground
oats, two parts Of bran and one part
Of oilmeal is especially good for cows
calving during winter or early spring.
After calving the cows should be
brought slowly up to full feed and
thereby steadily to higher produc-
ton.

Oysters Grip Of Death.

Some interesting and curious stories
are told Of the way in which the oys-
ter is capable Of gripping and holding
anything it gets between its shells.
One writer says that on one occasion a
dish Of oysters was placed in the Gel
lar Of an inn at Ashburton, England.
One of the oysters soon opened it's
shell, and it was pounced upon by three
mice who were at once crushed to
death by the shell closing upon them.
At another time fox thrust his mouth
into a very large mussel which closed
upon him and held him fast until he
was drowned by the rising tide.

A Good Listener,

The horse Is really one Of the best
listeners in the world. He is always
on the alert for sounds which concern
or interest him. When he looks at
anything he turns his ears towards it
to observe the better whether any
sound comes from it. If horse is
particularly interested in your driving
of him he always turns his ears back
ward toward you, but If he has no con-
Germ on that subject or If he sees any
thing ahead that interests him he
keeps his ears pricked forward. A
horse hears the whinny Of another
horse at greater distance than the
average man can hear it.-Boston

This argument may apply to other

WHY .SHORTHORN is FAVORED
Beef Must Come Along With Milk Is
ciaIm-Dairy Cattle Breeders Have
Good Argument.

One reason why the milking Short
horn Is being called to the attention Of
corn-belt farmers who must come in
evitably to dairying, is that the corn
belt is committed to beef and cannot
easily give up to dairying exclusively.
The farmer who takes a dairy bull
calf to market and gets So or 81 for
it, is likely to feel cheated, be-
cause he will remember the beef calf
that grew into likely steer and
brought a good profit.
Of course, the dairy cattle breeders
