WARM WEATHER DAIRY HINTS
Cleanliness Is Of Greet importance
Cream Separator Is Essential
Weed Out Poor Cows.

Unclean milk is especially danger
Gus during warm weather.
Remember that the sun is an excel
lent disinfecting agent Sun the milk
and cream utensils after washing.
No dairyman can afford to be with
out good cream separator. A sepa-
rator removes practically all the fat
from the milk. BY the ordinary skim
ming method from 10 to 25 per cent Of
the butterfat Is left In the milk.
BY carefully testing and wedding cut
the poor cows you can increase the
average production of each COW by
more than forty pounds of butterfat
per year.
No animal that gets only feed
enough to support life can produce a
profit. Feed your cows a balanced ra-
ton.
When farmer makes and sells but
Ter and feeds the skim milk to poultry
pigs and calves, he is not sending away
a great deal of his farms fertility.
Keep the farms fertility on the farm.
Some farmers would be better Off
If they sold their cows and bought
milk and butter. Yet they don't realize
that they are losing real money on ey-
cry "boarder" In their herds. Test
each COW.

The geological survey estimates the
oil content of the oil-bearlng shales of
the state Of Colorado alone at 10000
100000 barrels. Several contiguous
states contain great quantities Of oil
shales. These shales are clay-like
soils saturated with petroleum. The

LAUGH in FACE OF DEATH
British Soldiers on the Western Front
Maintain Sense of Humor Under
All Circumstances.

From the trenches on the western
front by way of Canada comes the
story of soldiers narrow escape from
death and the levity displayed by
conlrade, illustrating how viewpoints
change when men get on the firing line.
Private Mac of an Alberta regiment
had a pious upbringing in his early
home in Scotland, and his religious in
clinations did not desert him when his
family settled on a farm in western
Canada. All through the war he has
carried "Spurgeon's Sermons" In his
breast pocket, and occasionally he does
some preaching. with his comrades In
arms as the congregation.
Private c. of the, same regiment
lacked the upbringing and the book of
sermons, but possesses a sense of hui
NOR. The two were in a group resting
and smoking when shot from Ger
man snlper hit Private Mac in the
breast, the bullet being detected by the
book.
Fearing that Mac was about to inn
prove the occasion, C. "beat him to
IT. and in fair imitation of his
friends best preaching manner started
In:
"Oh, dear friends, what a blessed
thing 1t was that our dear brother
wasn't a,readlng of his boOR of ser
mons-as he ought to have benin
stead of engaging in worldly conversa-
ton with sinner soldier men. For II

Of his book of sermons, where, oh,

Mac (priceless old thing, have been

more or less, could make no difference.
But no sooner was the colonel's gray
roadster headed for the bridge across
the Tfmanyoni than the exhilarating
reaction set in. In q twinkling the
business cares, and the deeper worries
as well, fled away, and in their place
neart-hunger was looSed.
After dinner, a meal at which he ate
little and was well content to satisfy
the hunger of his soul by the road of
the eye, Smith went out to the porttco

tain sunsets was painting itself upon
the sky over the western TimanyOnis.

grandeurs, and no ears for any sound
save one--the footstep he was listen

Still holding the idea, brought over

CHAPTER XII.
A Reprleve.

Smiths blood ran cold and there was
a momentary attack Of shocked con-
sternation, comparable to nothing that
any past experience had to offer. But
there was no time to waste In curious
speculatiOns as to the why and where
fores. Present safety was the prime
consideration. With Josiah Richland-
er and his daughter in Brewster, and
guests under the same roof with him.
discovery, identification, disgrace were
knocking at the door. He could har-
Dor no doubt as to what Josiah Rich
lander would do If discovery came. For
so long a time as should be consumed
in telegraphing between Brewster and
Lawrenceville, Smith might venture TO
call himself free man. But that was
the limit.
One minute later he had hailed a
passing autocab at the hotel entrance,
and the four miles between the city
and Colonel Baldwin's ranch had been
tossed to the rear before he remem-
bered that he had expressly declined
a dinner invitation for that same eve
ming at Hillcrest, pleading business to
Mrs. Baldwin in person when she had
called at the Office with her daughter.
Happily, the small social offense
went unremarked, or at least unre-
buked. Smith found his welcome at
the ranch that of man who has the
privilege Of dropping in unannounced.
The colonel was loosely hospitable, as
he always was; Mrs. Baldwin was gra-
ciously lenient-was good enough, in
deed. to thank the eleventh-hour guest
for reconsidering at the last moment;
and Corona
Notwithstanding all that had come
to pass; Notwithstanding, also, that his
footing in the Baldwin household had
come to be that of q family friend,
Smith could never be quite sure of the
bewitchingly winsome young woman
who called her father "colonel-daddy."
Her pose, If 1t were pose, was the at
titude of the entirely unspoiled child of
nature and the wide horizons. When
he was with her she made him think
Ct all the words expressive of trans
parency and absolute and utter uncon-
cealment. Yet there were moments
when he fancled he could get passing
glimpses of subtler personality at the

LUxURIANT FLORA OF CHINA
AppeIIatlon "FIowory Kingdom" SInau-
larly Suited to the Land OF the
Yellow Race.

From time immemorial China has
been called the Flowery kingdom, a
name given by the Chinese themselves
and singularly suited to the land which
for ages was like an oasis of flowers
of the spirit in the world desert of bar
barism, says writer in Seribner's. In
this oasis grew the arts of the bronze
and stone worker, of the sllkI' aker and
embroiderer, of the potter, of the paint
err on silk, of the poet, philosopher and
ethical devOtee. But China was not
named the Flowery kingdom because
of these flowers of the mind. Her flora
is one of the most luxuriant in the
world. 1t is estimated to consist of
some 1900 species, 1900 of which
are known and One-halT of which are
indigenous and not found elsewhere.
Such being the fora of China, it is
readily understood that horticulture
and gardening early became skilled
and honored profession.
The Emperor Shon-nung (2737-2705
d. c., known as the 'Divlne Labor
er" and also as the Father of Medicine
and Husbandry, dispatched collectors
to all parts of the empire to bring in
plants of economic or medicinal value
for cultivation in the imperial gardens.
We have more detailed information in
regard to the horticulture and garden
ing carried on by the Emperor WI III
(l40-86 B. Co, whose agents brought
from distant parts many plants that
have been identified.

PROVIDING cows WITH SALT
one Of Things Easily Forgotten While
Animals Are on Pasture In
Summer Months.

One Of the things so easily forgotten
in the summer months while the cows
are on pasture is to provide them
regularly with salt. The easy way
not to forget 1t is to place rock saS
where they can get at 1t every Gay,
either in the stall while they are be-
ing MIXED or In a trough or box In the
pasture where they can lick 1t when
ever they have the desire TO.
Studies made at the Wisconsin sta
ton by Professors Babcock and Car
lyle showed that cows actually re-
qulre salt to thrive properly. this
amount required depending upon ths
character OF the feed which they re-
ceive,

similating feed as indicated by the
following points: Great length from
wlthers to hip bone; full crop: well
sprung ribs that are broad, deep and
wide apart.
When judging the capacity of
cow, 1t is important to notice the eff
ficiency of her digestive organs by
studying her handling qualities. See
whether her hide Is soft, loose. pill
able of medium thickness, and covered
with a soft, silky coat of hair, which
indicates that the organs of digestion
are In perfect working order.
