A AS SATs FARM NOTES. —The best way to make a hen happy and start her singing is to give her some- thing to do. —For Good Fleece.—Fineness, length and strength of fiber are essential qualities in a good fleece that should always bave prominent consideration in the selection of breeding stock. due ni Anything that impairs vitality results in diminishing the length and strength of the fiber. : —Oane of the advantages in keeping a few pigs to produce pork for family use is that the pigs can be fed to produce meat of an excellent quality. One cannot easily boy meat of as good quality as he can produce it, and this fact should be considered as im- portant as the cost. Quality as well as quanity is worth something. —1It you do not have enough manure for a large field use it on a small plot, and en- deavor to make as much of it as possible by concentrating the manure and work to a limited area. It may be wasted by at- tempting to make it do service on a larger space than it will profitably cover, as well as entailing more labor than the crop can compensate for. —It has been shown that some cows in a herd will produce 100 pounds of milk, at a cost of 41 cents, while cows in other herds entail a cost of $1.48 for the same quantity of milk. The cow that produces at 41 cents consequently gives alarge profit, and is more valuable than three cows that produce at the larger cost; yet the three inferior, cows require as much management, as well as stable room, as do better cows that give the dairyman a profit. —Should the trees be full of young fruit later in the season it will pay to pick off one-half or more of the fruit when very small, as by so doing the tree will be less taxed and the fruit left on the tree will de- velop and grow more rapidly. It requires courage in a fruit grower to remove the fruit, as it seems like vandalism, but those who have tried it report more satisfactory results, and state that they would not again allow a tree to bear a full crop. — Before the dairyman can be suvcessfnl in either branch he must draw the line be- tween the breeds that excel in yield of milk and those that give milk rich in cream.The first thing the scientific dairyman does is to select the breed for the purpose he may have in view. The next will be to feed in ‘such a manner as to secure the largest yield of either milk or butter in proportion to the cost of food, and the cost of food de- pends upon its adaptibility for conversion into the ingredients entering into the com- position of milk. —Raising Calves on Skim-Milk.—There should be no difficulty in raising a calf that is ordinarily vigorous, provided it safely passes the danger from so-called white scours or calf cholera. It is, however,often difficult to get calves well started, if skim- med milk only is depended on from the start. It is certainly a great advantage to use whole milk fresh from the cow for the first ten days or two weeks,and where so many cows are kept as you have, there are usually enough freshly-calved cows to far- nish much of the new milk required while it is still unfit for use. : After the calves are two weeks old, they may be changed to skimmed milk, and it is of course necessary that this change should be made gradually. Care must be taken that the skimmed milk ie fresh,sweet and warm, and that the calves are not fed too much at a time. Two or three quarts twice a day are sufficient at first. In rais- ing calves on skimmed milk,it is necessary of course that the skimmed milk be supple- mented with some other food, and our ex- perience has heen that is is preferable to use dry food. For this purpose we have found nothing better than good early-cut rowen or clover hay,and a mixture of wheat bran, whole or ground oats and old-process linseed oilmeal, equal parts cf the oats and bran and about 10 per cent. of the whole oilmeal. Calves ordinarily will begin to look for dry feed by the time they are three weeks old, and we encourage them to use it as much and as early as they will do so, with unfailing good results. Sometimes we even teach the calf to eat the grain by putting a pinch of the dry grain in its month immediately atter it finishes drink- ing. We consider such treatment preferable to attempting to use flaxseed jelly and var- ious things of that sort. There are, how- ever, some preparations of skimmed milk now on the market in dry form that are very promising as calf foods. —Method of Keeping Seed Corn.—The writer is'a firm believer in the gospel of good seed corn, and he subscribes to the method of selecting seed practiced by the seed corn speoialists,but he wishes to amend their creed by planting one acre or two acres with the very finest ears that he can find io his crop of corn. Plant it early enongh so it will be sure to ripen; husk is as soon as is will do,even before all the ears are dry make it a special order and husk the first days of the husking season before there are any hard freezes, select the ears wanted for seed while unloading the corn; take plenty of time and make a good se- lection. After selecting the corn put it in a room over a fire (a room over the kitohen stove is the very best place, for the reason there is always fire in the kitchen stove); pus the ears up in the racks or scatter them over the floor;after a week or ten days move the corn around or pile it up in ranks so the air can move through it and make sure of the drying-out process’ before the cold winter comes. ; : Puttiug seed corn in a dry place is not enough; it must also be kept in a place where there is plenty of artificial heat. Bring- ing the seed corn into the house has objec- tions; our better halves are of the opinion that corn and mice go together;that where- ever corn is there will the mice be also,but we are of the opinion that we have no more mice with the corn than without it. We can, however, make a room mouseproof by filling the walls with mortar or lining the room with sheet iron. If the mice come, go after them with a basketful of traps, using all the known kinds of mouse-traps. The writer has kept his seed corn in an overhead room for the past twenty years and he assures every farmer that if he will select his seed corn before any hard freezes come, place it in a room over a fire imme: diately after selectingand keep it there until warm weather the next spring, he will not need to follow any complicated system of testing or germination the next spring. Farmers are now raising much later varie- ties of corn than they did 25 years ago, so that the need for fire drying the seed is much greater on that account. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN: A DAILY THOUGHT. In the supremacy of self-control consists one of the perfections of the ideal man.—Herbert Spencer. PICNIC LUNCHEON. The man or woman who has had exper- ience in planning such outings will first of all limit the number of invitations—more tban a dozen entails the carrying of too large a quantity of food. The spot seleos- ed should be planned with reference to its shade and accessibility either by carriage or on foot from station or trolley line. A cool spring near at hand is desirable but it should not be patronized unless its purity is assured. Several days ahead of time the menu should be planned, the list of necessary edibles. made out as well as lists of utensils and such other articles as are likely to be needed; then, if each article is checked off as packed, no indispensables will be missing when called for. When carriages are to be used, two large hampers or baskets should be provided, one for utensila and dishes ete., the other for food ; if, however, the carrying must be divided among the various members of the party, have on hand a number of stout cardboard boxes of convenient size. When dishes, utensils, ete., must be reduced to the lightest proportions for hand cartage, provide paper or wooden plates and paper napkins; both of these articles are now made in artistic shapes and designs. Tele- scope drinking cups or bright new tin ones will not be found amiss and the loss of a few new tin spoons will not be a grave matter. When a table cloth is to be used one of bright red and white will be found better than a plain white one, as the grass makes the latter appear dingy. Of uten- sils, a pocket alcohol stove and a tiny tin pail will make good coffee, provided the ground bean is tied loosely but securely in a muslin bag. A tin pie plate or two will prove just the thing for scrambling eggs, making a rabbit or frying cold potatoes. The way in which a lunch is packed is largely responsible for its appearance a the time of serving. Even when daintily prepared, careless packing will prove ruin- ous to otherwise delicate dishes. For this reason it is well to erase from the mena all such articles as would be easily crushed or broken. Food should be firmly and com- pactly put up to ensure satisfactory carriage. In wrapping the edibles, waxed or varaf- fine paper should be freely used—a ream of five hundred medium sized sheets costs considerably less than a dollar, and is sufficient for a whole summer’s outings; it is much better than unglazed light brown or white paper, as it excludes odors and keeps the food in good moist condition. All the following dishes are suitable for picnic luncheons. Meats: —Fried ohicken, disjointed be- fore cooking; roast chicken cut in portions before packing; broiled chicken; rare roast beef out in wafer thin slices, then piled compactly and wrapped in paraffine paper; baked or boiled ham sliced or minced; sliced boiled tongue. Fish: —Cold boiled or broiled salmon with mayonnaise in a bottle; cold boiled lobsters or crabs; spiced cold fish; keiller spotten or sardines in tins. Eggs:—Hard boiled; devilled; stuffed; scotehed ; potted. Salads: —Potato; potato egg; and stuffed tomato or pepper; chicken and other meats in season; cold slaw; fruit; dressing, pref- Erably a cooked one, is packed separate- y. Cake:—Any kind of loaf cake or the sawe kind baked in individual molds; no jelly or layer cakes. Miscellaneous: —Salted nuts,olives, pim- olas, potted or fresh cheese, strained and bottled fruit juices with sugar syrup in separate bottles, pickles, cloth, napkins, dishes, silver, cups, salt, pepper, alcohol stove, matches, sauce-pan or pot, comb and brush, soap and’ towels, arnica, mustard, court plaster, It is seldom convenient to carry butter in bulk and for this reason sandwiches cannot well be eliminated from the menu. To have them in the best possible coudi- tion the bread should be at least one day old and an oblong loaf will usually cut to the best advantage. With the hutter work- ed until soft enough to spread easily, the filling in readiness, with an extremely sharp knife cut off the crust from the end with butter, using a broad bladed knife, then cut off a very thin slice. Before cut- ting the second slice spread its buttered face with some o? the filling. Pair it with the first slice, prese together and cut into any desired shape. Repeat in this order until the necessary namber of sandwiches are made. Whatever the filling, it will be found best to have it so prepared thas it can be smoothly spread on the bread. Cold meats or other similarly firm ingredi- ents should be put though tke food chopper so as to ensure being finely and evenly chopped. In packing a quantity of sand- wiohes, line the box with paraffine paper, then with a napkin or cloth which bas been dipped in cold water, then wrung as tightly as possible; this will keep them in the bess condition. When salads are to be taken, out the cooked meats or vegetables in half-inch dice—when the food chopper is used, the effect is too much like bash. Add the sea- soning and pack in glass jars; lettuce should be thoroughly washed, wrapped in a wes cloth, then in heavy paper and kept as cold as possible. The dressing should be put in a separate jar and added to the salad just before it is served. As heatand the motion due to carrying may tend to make the oil in a mayonnaise separate, it is safer to carry a cooked dressing and one that will keep well is made after thie recipe. To two well beaten eggs add a hall tea- spoonful of salt, a dash of cayenne and a quarter of a cupful of moderately strong vinegar. Set overa firein a double boiler and stir until the mixture is smoothly ‘thickened. Take off, add two tablespoon- falls of butter, stir until absorbed, strain and keep cool. This may be thinned when used with a little vinegar or lemon juice. | Eggs which are plain boiled should have from thirty to forty minutes Sooking to ensure mealiness. For stuffing, halve them when bard boiled, remove the yolk, mash’ and mix is with sals, pepper, one fourth as much soft butter and one balf as much finely minced meat. Mold, refill the whites and fit carefully together. A higher season- ing with mustard, eto., makes them devil- led; to pot them, press through a sieve and pound toa paste with butter and season- ngs. Don’t go to bed without brushing the teeth, for it is at night that the acid of the saliva gets in its work on the teeth. Avoid fear in all ita varied forms of ex- pression. It is the greatest enemy of the human face. a Don’t forget that rapid eating is slow suicide. Low Rates to California Via Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway.

Undoubtedly if the Danish method were introduced in the United States, it would go far towards regulating drunkenness. In Denmark when a drunken man comes forth from a saloon or a cafe, he is at once put into a cab and driven home, by the dealer from whose house the man issmed. Any liquor dealer who allows a man to depart from his establishment in an intoxicated condition is compelled by the Danish law to pay that man’s cab fare home. The Danes, in consequence, are a sober people. Insurance. QOEY * BEAD JOHN F. GRAY & SON, (Successors to Grant Hoover.) FIRE, LIFE, AND ACCIDENT INSURANCE.
