FARM NOTES.
IDEAS ABOUT MILKING.—First, twenty
pounds of milk drawn at the beginning of
milking will produce only aboutone half
pound of butter, while the same amount
drawn at the end of milking yields nearly
two pounds of butter. A Danish experi-
ment in the same line shows as follows:
1. Milk from the first streams, 172
pounds, gave one pound of butter.
2. Milk from the middle streams, thir-
ty-eight pounds, gave one pound of butter.
3. Milk from the last streams, twenty-
seven pounds, gave one pound of butter.
4. Milk from the last drops, twelve
pounds, gave one pound of butter.
This shows that the after milk is very
“ rich in butter elements, and therefore very
valuable.
Second, straining the cow’s milking ca-
pacity to its utmost will develop the udder
toward rendering as perfect service as pos-
sible- When the milking is finished the
cow should again receive a kind word and
a stroke with the hand—never with the
milking stool.
Milking with wet hands is, of cource, a
thing of the past. The milker’s hands
should be dry and clean.
When the milking is finished the teats
are usually moist with splash, moisture,
ete. Unless wiped off this moisture is like-
ly to form a dry, adhesive coat, which may
give rise to cracks in the surface of the skin
and accumulate bacteria.
Within reasonable limits frequent milk-
ing increases the yield. But whether one
milk twice or three times a day, the hour
should be regularly kept, and the cows
milked in a fixed succession—if possible by
the same hands. If the milking starts too
early, the animals are not prepared for it;
if too late, they grow impatient, and may
even suffer considerable pain.
In either case the animals are sure to
yield less milk than ordinarily. Any in-
convenience suffered by the milch cow will
result in a loss of milk.
Any unusual condition of the udders and
teats calls for immediate attention. Sore-
ness of any portion, sores of a peculiar
character, and obstructions of the milk
ducts should be promptly treated.
Cows with diseased udders are likely to
be inflicted with some contagious sickness,
and should therefore be placed apart from
the remainder of the herd. Their milk can-
not be gathered in the same buckets and
pails as are used with the other cows until
health is restored. Tuberculous (consump-
tive) cattle must have no communication
whatever with healthy cows.
Whenever a ‘‘hard milking’’cow is found,
the narrowness of her milk canals may be
obviated by rolling the teats between two
‘hands. The passing a straw into the milk
canal is disastrous to the animal, and may
cause inflamation fof the udder. On be-
ing milked after the first calf many cows
are very sensitiveto the milker’s touch.
Nothing but patience and gentle treatment
will avail in such cases.
A dirty udder should be cleaned with
warm water before milking, and rubbed
dry with a clean cloth. Inflamed udders
have been successfully treated with water
as hot as can be borne by the hand, and ap-
plied frequently.
A light stable, well ventilated, is of nec-
essity a clean stable. Cleanly milking can-
not be practiced in the absence of sufficient
light.
Milch cattle should never be allowed to
drink ice cold water, as it is sure to cause
a decrease in the yield of the milk.—
“Creamery Gazette.”
—Dr. Henry Leffmann, of Philadelphia,
was the first to investigate the effects of
land plaster in manure, and his results
show that several changes occur. It had
previously been supposed that land plaster
(sulphate of lime) arrested the escape of
ammonia by decomposition of the plaster,
the sulphuric acid uniting with ammonia
to form sulphate of ammonia, while the
lime was converted into carbonate of lime
by union with carbonic acid. The plaster
does decompose, but the ammonia of the
manure is first converted into carbonate of
ammonia, becoming a salt. As plaster is
also a salt, the two salts (sulphate of lime
and carbonate of ammonia) make a change
together on coming in contact, the sulphur-
ic acid then uniting with ammonia and
the carbonic acid with the lime of the plas-
ter. Plaster, however, has the capacity of
absorbing ammonia, though not uniting
directly with it, and carries ammonia to
the roots of plants. It is a special fertiliz-
er for leguminous plants, such as clover,
beans, peas, etc., but shows little benefit
only on light sandy soils. For such soils
air-slaked lime will be found more service-
able.
—Don’t give apple trees such low heads
that a horse and cart cannot be driven
around in the orchard quite close to them.
It is convenient to pick fruit standing on
the ground, but the inconveniences of low
trees overbalance that advantage. If the
branches start from the trunk five feet
from the ground, and the pruning is prop-
erly done afterward, a pair of seven fqot
cattle or 15} hand horses can be driven
along as closely to the trees in plowing the
orchard as is necessary without interfering
with the branches. While not forming too
low heads, do not forget to prune altogether.
Keep an open top and as straight branches
as possible. Asa rule don’t shorten in the
branches. Trim from the trunk or from
the branches, and look after the tree close-
ly enough so a heavy pruning knife ora
pair of shears will do the work where a
saw would be required later. Finger and
thumb pruning reads well, but give me a
sharp knife and save the finger nails. If
big limbs—one to three inches in diameter
—are cut, don’t forget to cover the stubs
with thick paint.
—Wool is affected by breed, climate and
food. Sheep will thrive in some sections
better than in others, and wool from some
flocks will bring higher prices than other
wools. To produce good wool the sheep
must be well fed, but not too much so. If
the food is not sufficiently nutritious the
wool will lack in strength. be dry, harsh,
flabby and rough to the touch. Wool from
sheep that are kept on pastures which pro-
vide abundant herbage is long in fibre, soft,
white and strong. 1t is claimed that all
foods which promote prespiration produce
fine wool, but it is not necessary to make a
selection of foods if the sheep have a variety.
—In the foreign markets lean pork is pre-
ferred, and there is a growing demand for
more lean pork at home. Lean pork can
be produced at less cost than may be sup-
posed, and the hogs will grow faster and
give heavier weights than when the pork is
produced solely from corn. It is done by
feeding in addition to corn, skim milk,
bran, shorts, linseed meal, beans, peas, clov-
and other nitrogenousf foods, which not
only promote growth but, increases the
weight also.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
Christmas comes but once a year
And when it comes accept its cheer,
Dou’t give a gift as an investment.
Don’t go in debt for Christmas presents.
Don't give a Christmas present grudg-
ingly.
Don’t overlook a real friend and hunt up
a flash friend instead.
There is no excuse for red noses. Many
a woman is trudging wearily along life’s
highway, humiliated by a lurid little head-
light that is no more a necessity than are
pajamas to a parrot. If the afilicted one
will soak her hands and feet in hot mus-
tard water every night, if she will dress
warmly and take brisk exercise in the
open air to arouse the slow circulation of
her blood, and if she will also apply witch
hazel to that red nose, it will vanish like
dewdrops before an Alabama sun, and life
will seem a jolly lot more roseate to her.
You need not spend a great deal of mon-
ey on your Christmas tree in order to dress
it prettily. Strings of popped corn make
it look quite frosty, and a little powdered
isinglass will make it shine as if diamonds
were scattered over it. Holders of tin for
the small candles are rather necessary, but
candles should be used sparingly because
of possible fire. Cotton torn in smallest
bits and dropped over the green makes it
look as if snow had fallen on the tree.
Muslin bags of candy made with bright-
colored draw-strings are much more decora-
tive than paper horns, and may be made in
fancy shapes, like boots, flags, or any flat
object. Oranges hung on the tree are ex-
ceedingly ornamental. A coarse needle
and twine will make it possible to attach
them easily. Corn balls, too, show well
against the green, and children like this
plebeian delicacy. Children often are wis-
er than their elders. The base of the tree,
whether a network of wooden supports or
a box, should be entirely covered with
green, and serves as a background for the
things which are too large to hang.
A new apron thought is a Mother Hub-
bard shape of linen cross-stitched with dark
blue or red about the free edges. These
hang full from a yeke, or a neck-band, and
when a yoke is used it is sometimes work-
ed solidly with the colored thread. The
round Tam-O’Shanter or ‘‘tar cap’’ exceeds
every other shape in popularity for the lit-
tle fellows. Lads of eight or nine some-
times wear cadet caps while for the next
age, youths, soft fedoras or derbies are the
Choice. Solid colors, especially red and
blue, are the vogue for the smartest juven-
ile costumes. The rough plaids of past
season, except in cloaking, are quite out of
date.
The ideal costume for morning wear in
the street consists of a plain skirt and a
plain cloth coat. Black and gray and
white plaid with a black coat is the latest.
Violet in all the shades between pale
mauve and pansy is the popular color for
your silk shirt waist.
The quaint little figures that serve as
pincushions when a clay pipe or a wood-
en dell is dressed in old-fashioned dress
are always sources of amusement in houses
where are small children. The little boy
and girl of the household will never let a
pin upon the carpet escape when they are
permitted to amuse themselves by stabbing
it into the skirt of old Nancy or Aunt
Dinah. These pipe dolls are made by
dressing the stem of a white clay pipe in a
chintz or calico dress, folding a kerchief
about the neck and trying an apron about
the waist.
The pipe is made tostand alone by stick-
ing it into a broad cork, which is, of course,
hidden by the flowing skirt. The mouth
of the pipe is supposed to be the back of
the head, and is covered with a poke bon-
net or a ruffled cap. Sometimes one of
these figures is intended to be used as a
case for sewing implements, needle, thim-
ble, scissors and thread cases being attach-
ed to it. A tiny gathered bag for the
thimble is hung at the elderly spinster’s
or grinning negro woman’s side. The
apron is used for the needlecase, and the
spool of thread is tucked under the hem of
the ample skirt. Then the little figure is
ready for use.
Very pretty cushions may be made of
broken Japanese dolls. At the toy stores
there are always a few damaged ones. Ask
for one of the smaller Japanese dolls, and if
the head and arms are in perfect condition
that is all that is necessary. Make a short
bag equal in length to what the doll’s body
originally was and fill it with sawdust,
leaving just room enough for what remains
of the doll. Place this inside and gather
the bag about the doll’s neck. Over this
fit a tiny kimono of yellow or red satin
and tiea crepe sash of the opposite color
about dolly’s waist, with a very large bow
appear where the sash is tied.
Some things to be remembered are: Al-
ways stand on the front or ball of the foot
and keep the knees straight. Carry your-
self so that a string extended downward
from your chest would reach the floor with-
out touching another part of the body. Do
not push your head forward and do not be
in a hurry so that you will waddle along
like a little duckling with absolutely no
grace or carriage. Dress comfortably, have
your clothing - well fastened, and your
gown loose enough to give your lungs .op-
portunity for the full expansion that, for
the sake of your health, they should have.
Make sofa cushions of your pillows and al-
ways sleep face downward. Then last,
but not least, don’t be a woful lady and
amble along in a disconsolate, sloppy-
weather fashion that is so utterly hopeless
that I could never set before me the awful
task of suggesting a remedy. One of the
secrets of happiness and success is cheerful-
ness. Men and women and even babies
like cheerful folk, while they will race
their overshoes off trying to get away from
the anhappy ones of unhappy tales and
many worries. Be cheerful, my girls, even
though the laundress has washed your
handkerchief into a real-lace sieve, or the
rains and snows of December have descend-
ed upon your best Sunday bonnet and
made a pocket edition of a raghag thereof,
oreven if the/gas range has blown itself
and all the kitchen windows into the next
block. Be cheerful at all hazards! It
pays! Really it does!
- A charming party dress for a debutante
is made of hook muslin. The muslin over-
slip bore three little flounces, each edged
with very fine lace. The bodice was a pic-
ture one, i. e., tight-fitting and adorned
with a fichu, lace-edged and voluminous,
and the sleeves were of lace, transparent,
reaching just to the elbow, and with a cer-
tain quaintness of their own, imparted by
the deep muslin frills, lace-edged again in
their turn, adorning them. The fichu
above mentioned fastened in front with a
knot of pale pink roses and altogether the
Watteau-like effect obtained was simply
fetching.
Millions Made at Farming.
The New York Herald has the following:
Farming does pay. if you know how to
conduct it, and a large capital is not essen-
tial to success, as is shown by the startling
experience of David Rankin, a millionaire
farmer of Atchison county, Mo., who has
amassed an immense fortune in agriculture
and stock raising. In these pursuits alone
he accumulated an immense fortune before
embarking in other ventures, called forth
by the desire to vary the investments of a
capital of five millions. :
Likely the world contains no more suc-
cessful farmers than Mr. Rankin. He now
owns 21,700 acres of land in Atchison coun-
ty around the pretty town of Tar-
kio. He hasdivided his land into fourteen
ranches, varying in size from 640 to 3000
acres.
This year Mr. Rankin has 12,000 acres
of corn, 1000 in oats, 320 in wheat and the
rest in pasture. He annually feeds about
10,000 head of cattle. His shipment this
vear will be 11,250 head, or 625 car loads.
When 21 years old Mr. Rankin started
to make his fortune with a colt—a gift from
his father—as his only capital outside of
his mental and physical endowments. The
colt was sold for $52 and the money invest-
ed in calves. He then bought an eighty
acre farm on credit, and farmed it in a sys-
tematic manner, with judgment and close
application. In four years after his start
he owned his farm, clear of debt, and had
eighty head of cattle, slightly encumbered.
He was then married, without a dollar of
cash to his name, but soon had a bank ac-
count, bought horses and began breaking
prairie. He farmed in Illinois, Iowa and
Nebraska, and finally settled on the prai-
ries of Missouri, and made his home in
Atchison. Here he purchased his extensive
tract of land, paying from $6 to $12 an
acre.
Relief for Volunteers.
Six Regular Regiments Ordered to Manila to Take
the Place of Citizen Soldiers—Release in the Or-
der of Arrival.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—The war de-
partment has begun in earnest the relief of
the volunteer troops now stationed at
Manila by regulars. This afternoon Sec-
retary Alger signed an order designating
for this purpose six regiments of United
States infantry out of eight held in reserve
for service in sub-tropical countries. One
of the six is the Seventeenth Regiment,
now in the Columbus (O.) barracks.
They will go forward to Manila as soon
as transportation can be provided. It may
be that the two regiments still held in re-
serve will join the others before they sail.
The volunteers in Manila will be retired
in the order in which they reached that
city.
We Are One of the Others.
From the Lancaster Intelligencer.
When one puts his hand in his pocket
without finding a single dollar in gold
there he begins to wonder where the $4,-
619,000,000 in gold, now in the world, is
hidden away.—New Era.
By way of enlightening any gold bugs
who may begin to wonder what is the mat-
ter with the plans for lots of yellow metal
and prosperity, we print in another col-
umn a statement and a story as to the over-
flowing vaults of the treasury.
Some may feel amply consoled for lack
of money this Christmastide by knowing
that there is plenty of it in the treasury,
but there are others who would like to see
the money in circulation.
Dr. Habart’s Medical Tact.
Two remarkable surgical operations for
the purpose of stopping internal hemor-
rhage have been performed by Dr. Habart,
of Vienna. In the case of a young man
who had fired four slugs into himself, the
surgeon cut into the thoracic cavity, re-
moved one of the ribs, and stuffed a yard
and a half of iodoform gauze between the
heart and the lungs. The other case, that
of a man stabbed through the armpit, was
treated in the same way. Both patients
recovered and are now perfectly well.
