Can . the proportion of butter in
milk bo Increased by Judicious feed
ing? The ttftluiony that It cnu te
dooo Is rapidly growing. The experi
ments of many of the State stations
nd of dairy experts have gHtned
pwitty exact Information, and show
that certain foods rich In oils tend to
produce an Increase in the butter fats
In milk.
"When cows become dry, they should
fceep in good condition on posture
arasa alone. Oows that produce ln.rg
iy of milk may be allowed gralu and
toy in addJtlHi to grass, and ell that
they will eat, but It Is not necessary
to highly-feed non-producing stock
anting the worm season, as less food
la then required for their maintenance
compared with winter.
Up to a certain point all food Is ultl
Heed In supplying the constant and
natural waste of the system. A plant
r an animal must be full fed. After
an animal waste Is supplied, theu
erne a demand for so much to fur
tstah animal heat. After these do
mamlH have been met, and not until
then, surplus production becomes pos
sible. Moreover, the latter object Is
best gained by the careful feeder and
bj a perfectly balanced ration.
.Where sheep are pastured upon clo
ver there Is a constant .checking of the
plant, end this predisposes It to. the
forming of seed. Thus it produces a
heavier seed crop than when the com
mon practice, is followed of allowing
It to grow until in blossom and then
catting It close to the ground; but, if
th clover is fed off, Canada thistles
and other biennial weeds In It shonld

Sdcot care of these to absolve you
from giving S'ime attention to them.
Tciting and Preserving F-CK.
Kggs that are to be packed should
he perfectly fresh. There Is no better
way to tell a fresh egg than the old
method tf testing them by a papor
tube. Roll up a piece of stiff paper,
so that an ordinary egg will Just fit in
one end. Place the egg In the end of
the tube, and look through the other
end with the tube directed toward the
light. The egg will appear translucent
tf fresh; If stale, It will appear dark,
almost opaque. A good egg will gen
erally sink if placed In water; if stale
ir will float Several ways of preserv
Ing eggs are practiced. The object U
to prevent evuporation from the egg.
Cutting off the air from the contents
of the egg preserves them longer than
with any other treatment. An egg
which hn lain In bran even for a few
days will pincll and taste musty. Tack
ed In lime epgs will be stained. Covered
with a coat of spirit varnish eggs have
kept so perfectly that after the lapse
of two years chickens were hatched
fwm tliem.
Spirit varnish for preserving eggs Is
made by dissolving gum shellac iu
enough alcohol to make a thin var
nish. Coat each egg with this and
pack, little end down, so that they
cauot move, in bran, sawdust, or sand;
th sand Is bent. Whatever is used
for packing should be clean and dry.

The Tea Habit.
A cup of good tea taken with a meal
fs often very cheering nnd refreshing
and Is probably not injurious to any
one, unlcN taken too strong. But thi
cannot be said when the ten Is strong
or Is improperly made, and the habit
of drinking tea that has been kept
brewing and steeping on the range all
day to make a hot drink ready for ond
or a do7ien calls upon it at odd inter
vals Through the day, Is one of the
worst of habits in Its effects upon the
digestive and nervous systems. It may
not be tho cause of murders, like alco
holism, but tea-Ism is undoubtedly fhe
cause of many family quarrels and of
a groat deal oif physical misery.
nevonantre Cream.
To obtain Devonshire cream, put A
pan of milk in a cool place for twenty
four hours. At the end of that time
place the pan on fhe back of the range
and heat the milk slowly to the boil
ing ioiut, being careful not to let It
boil. Tut the pan In a cool place for
six or twelve hours. At the end of
that time skim off the cream, which
will be found firm, aud of a peculiarly
sweet flavor. In very hot weather the
milk may be scalded aftor It has stood
for twelve hours. This cream is de
licious W served with fruit, blanc
mange, toast or hominy.
Queen Victoria's Favorite Soon.
Tt may be of interest to humbler
housewives to know what the chief
cook to Queen Victoria for many
years says was the only soup eaten by
Her Majesty during that time. It was
made by the following receipt: Wash
And scald one half pound of Kraukford
Iearl barley and set in a stewpan with
three pint of veal stock. Simmer
very geutly for one and a half hours.
Remove a third to another soup pot
Rub fhe rest through a sieve. Pour
It to the Whole twrley. Add half a
pint of cream. Season with a little
salt. HUr till hot and serve.
Plied Parnley.
Select full stalks of parsley and rev
move nil dried or Imperfect leaves.
Wash It thoroughly in cold, salted
water and dry on a clean, soft towel;
when it is jerfect!ly dry, gather a
bunch at tt time by the stalks, dip
leaves hi smoklng-hot fat for one mo
ment. If there Is any moisture on
parsley the fat will sputter and there
is danger of burning the hand; but If
carefully dried and dlped in, there
is no trouble in frying the partflcy as
desired.
For flora Feet.
When your feet are sore, as from
Jong walking, take a toaspoonful of
Kpsom salts, five or six drops of tinc
ture of capsicum, and put in a shal
low basin of water Just enough to
cover the soles of the feet and seals
them twenty minutes. . One will lie
surprised nt the relief this will give.
It will also cure burning of the feet
that, so many are troubled with in the
slimmer.

the hat over the tire and waving it

room for the fibres to stiffen. Feathers
may also be curled owr a knife held

the curl more durable. A iittlo blue

Catarrh starts in the nasal 'passages,
affecting eyes, ears and throat, and is
in fact, the great enerpy of the mu
cous membrane. Neglected colds in
the head almost invatiably precede
catarrh, causing an excessive flow of
mucus, and if the mucous discharge
becomes interrupted the disagreeable
results of catarrh will follow, such as
bad breath severe pain across forehead
and about the eyes, a roaring and buz
zing sound in the ears and oftentimes
a ve y offensive discharge. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure
for these troubles.
One word describes it" perfec
tion." We refer to DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve ; cures obstinate sores,
burns, skin diseases and is a well
known cure for piles. W. S. Rishton,
