The bit will prevent her tongue from getting in suction shape, but, declares the correspondent of the Val ley Farmer, she can eat and drink as ! usual. SALTING BUTTER. Even Distrubuticn of Moisture Essen- 1 tial to the Process. The following thoughts were sug- ! gested to the writer by reading a re- | port from the lowa station: No established rule for salting but ter properly can be given. The butter j maker will have to be governed en tirely by local conditions. The amount of salt to be incorporat ed in the butter depends directly on the amount of moisture the butter con- 1 tains. Rutter fat is not a salt dissolv- 1 lng substance. This can be done only : by the moisture in the butter. The ; first thing, then, to get a uniform amount of dissolved salt in butter is to get a uniform amount of moisture. The water should be evenly distrib uted through the mass of butter. If It is present in pockets or crevices in the butter when the salt is added, much salt will be lost in the form of brine, besides those particles of butter near the pockets will contain more salt than those farther away. Best results are obtained by allow ing the butter to drain well after wash ing and then apply the gait.. In 110 case should salt be added till the but ter has assumed a gathered condition. When the butter is medium soft after being worked, it has been found that from three-fourths to an ounce of 6alt for each pound of butter is not far from the correct amount DAIRY DOINGS. A separator is easily washed after the owner learns how to do it. Denmark has about 1,300 creameries and they make annually about 100,000 tons of butter. Every intelligent man can make dairying pay because intelligent meth ods always win. The man that owns a separator can often sell sweet skimmilk to city peo ple at a good price. So far as is possible avoid metals about butter. The salt will cause rust and stain the butter. Sunshine is a great enemy of bac teria. Place the milking utensils in the sun when not in use. The feeding of grain or a highly nitrogenous food is always dangerous when carried to excess. The green pasture is a healthy place for the cows, if 110 diseased animals are permitted to graze on it. One extra good cow will produce better results at the end of the year thau three or four poor ones. Every time a dairy cow is abused or frightened her milk and butter ma chinery is thrown out of gear. Fattening old cows for beef is not generally a very profitable operation and it becomes less so as corn goes higher in price. The Mean Dog. When the cows come down to the stables with their heels all slit up, their tails swinging wildly in the air and a dog tight to their starboard Quarters, don't be surprised if you get scanty milk of a decidedly poor qual ity. The price is just what you ought to pay for allowing a mean dog in your yard, says Farm Journal. Good, intel ligent dogs, or none, should be the motto. Breaking the Calf to Drink. It requires a sweet disposition as well as sweet milk to break the calf to eat from the bucket. One can make about as much success with the hand fed call on sour milk as on a sour dis position. Ccw's Milk. Cow's milk will be consumed by nearly every living creature. However, It rarely can be made to take the place of water. Every form of life living upon it, from the infant to the calf, pig or colt, requires water in addition to milk. MEANS SUCCESS OR FAILURE. Knowledge in Dairying Is of the Most Vital Importance. Knowledge is valuaable in dairying to a very great extent, more so than in some other occupations of an agri cultural nature. The effect of a single piece of information may make all the difference there is between success and failure in dairy operations. This is true in the matter of feeds, espe cially. for it is very easy for a man to goon feeding his cows a food that costs a great deal and yet that will produce less result than a food that costs less. We had an illustration of this during the long years when farmers raised and fed to their cows timothy hay rather than clover hay. Some even went into the markets and purchased timothy hay at a higher j price by 50 per cent, than they would j have had to pay for sweet, bright | clover hay. This was due to ignor- ! ance of the feeding value of the two I kinds of hay, the clover being worth j more ton for ton than the timothy. 1 Think of the vast sums of money that | have been paid out alone on account j rf this one item. What is true of the two kinds of hay j is also true of the concentrated feeds. There is a certain prejudice in favor of a certain concentrated feed iu each neighborhood and this is allowed to ] dictate the course to be followed I rather than the choice of feeds after I thorough investigation. Many of the mills are now turning out brans that are of little vt.lue for feeding im poses. This its true, too, of the kind of fc.-d known as "shorts," which in some cases consist of bran ground over and over till they are fine. The man that will inform himself about the various kinds of concentrated feeds will be able to feed intelligently and that is a good way to save money. The value of knowledge as to the capacity of cows is very great. The man that begins the study of his cows as to their capacities and the results they are giving will be able to turn off his poorest cows and get better ones in their places. Some of our dairymen and farmers would be able to make good profits out of their herds of cows if they would do this, while at the present time they are just about mak ing expenses. AGE TO BREED HEIFERS. Time Varies with the Animal and the Purpose She Is to Serve. Farmers differ as to (he best time , to breed heifers. It is probably true, as a whole, that most of our heifers 1 are bred too young which undoubtedly decreases their size and efficiency. If we want all the size possible heifers should not be bred before they are 10 or 20 months old. If they are bred younger than tills they will undoubtedly be somewhat stunted and will never attain the size they would have had if the gestation period had ! been delayed until later in life. Dairy heifers that are milked by hand can be bred earlier than the beef heifers for the reason that milking by hand is not so great a tax on the system as is the sucking of a vigorous calf. Then, too, dairy capacity should be developed as early as possible. To make the best kind of a beef cow a heifer should not be bred until she is 18 to 22 months old. Of course considerable depends upon the size of the heifer when bred which in turn depends on the way she has been raised. Some heifers are too sma" to breed until they are two years old because they have not been properly raised. Then again, says The Farm er, other heifers which have made the greatest possible gains in early life are suitable to breed before the aver age age. Breeding at an early age will of course tend to promote profi ciency and it will also sometimes tend on the other hand to weaken the sys tem so that disease is likely. Many cases of habitual abortion are due to the fact that, the heifer was bred be fore her system was Btrong enough to sustain the strain of pregnancy. It can generally be taken as a safe rule that we should not. breed heifers until they have the size of a norma/ 18- montlis-old heifer or until they show by their vigor and health that they are tit for the dutic? of maternity. A COMFORTABLE MILK STOOL. Beat Is Cushioned to Make Long Task Easier. Make a box of inch boards 12xlG inches and 4 inches deep. Make legs three inches wide, nine inches long. The Milking Stool. Then take a piece of grain sacking, nail to three sides of stool and stuff with excelsior or something similar. In Wisconsin, where we milk three hours a day, writes the correspondent of the Missouri Valley Farmer, we find the need of cushions. Winter Killing of Crops. Crops rarely winter kill 011 soils which are well drained. It is the pres ence of a great deal of water that can not drain away that causes the crops to winter kill.

JOKE ON THE CONGRESSMAN. Waiter Drew Wrong Inference from Guest's Attitude. A Georgia congressman gleefully tolls of an experience during his last visit to New York. The representative had put up at an American-plan hotel. Wlk n, upon sit ting down at dinner tlio first evening of bis stay, the waiter obsequiously handed Wra a bill of fare, the con gressman tossed it aside, slipped the waiter a dollar bill, and said, "Bring me a good dinner." The dinner proving satisfactory, the southern member i>ursued this plan during his entire stay in New York. As the last tip was given, he men tioned that he was about to return to Washington. Whereupon, the waiter, with an ex pression of great earnestness, said: "Well, sir, when you or any of your friends that can't read come to New York, just ask for Dick."—Harper's ! Weekly.

A Trained Nurse Made Discovery. No one is in better position to know the value of food and drink than a trained nurse. Speaking of coffee, a nurse of Wilkes Barre, Pa., writes: "I used to drink strong coffee myself, and suffered greatly from headaches and Indiges tion. While on a visit to my brothers I had a good chance to try Postum Food Coffee, for they drank it alto gether in place of ordinary coffee. In two weeks after using Postum I found I was much benefited and finally my headaches disappeared and also the indigestion. "Naturally I have since used Postum among my patients, and have noticed a marked benefit where coffee has been left off and Postum used. "I observed a curious fact about Postum when used among mothers. It greatly helps the flow of milk in cases where coffee is inclined to dry it up, and where tea causes nervousness. "I find trouble in getting servants to make Postum properly. They most always serve it before it has been ! boiled long enough. It should be boiled | 15 to 20 minutes after boiling begins | and served with cream, when it is cer ! tainly a delicious beverage." Read "The Road to Wellville" in pkgs. "There's a Reai^u." WHY HE WANTED LAW. Man Had to Be Forced Into Path® of Righteousness. Congressman James E. Watson of the Sixth Indiana district told a stor7 while in town recently, anent the op eration of the pure food law, and in tended to illustrate his expressed theory that more people would be good if they had to be. "It was while we were wrestling with the pure food bill at Washing ton,"he said, "that I got a letter from home, written by a man from whom I bought a big quantity of maple sirup each year. He urged me to fight for the pure food bill. Now, I couldn't help remembering, to save my life, that this man bought five barrels of brown sugar at the opening of the maple molasses season. So I wrote him a note suggesting that advocacy of a pure food lueasure seemed odd from a man who bought five barrels of brown sugar before beginning the manufacture of his pure maple sirup. "Never feazed him. He turned my letter over and wrote 011 the back: 'I know it, but I want the law to make me do right.'"—lndianapolis News. THREE BOYS HAD ECZEMA.

The old inns of England have been responsible for the origin of many common sayings. An instance of this is the proverbial phrase "He has gone to the devil." On Fleet street, London, near Temple Bar, was once a tavern which was known by the strict ly old-fashioned name, "The Devil and Saint Dunstan." It was famous for its good dinners and excellent wines, and received a large patronage from the lawyers of Temple Bar. It was familiarly known as "The Devil," and when a lawyer left his office togo there he usually left a no tice on his door, "Gone to the Devil.'* There were some wh® patronized the tavern to the neglect of their business, and the notice was so regularly exhib ited on their doors that it finally came to be used to characterize the man who was losing his grip and going to destruction. —The Sunday Magazine. What the Poet Says. After their honeymoon to Niagara Falls they came back and settled ou the old farm. "Gracious, Sile!" said Cynthia. "Why are you in such a bad humor?" "Making butter is blamed hard work," grumbled Sile, removing the beads from his brow. "Oh, cheer up, Sile. Don't the poet say that it is 'love that makes the world go round'?" "Yes, but, by gosh, it don't make the churn go round." Important to Mothers.
