The artichoke, which is recommend
ed ns food for pigs, becomes a persist
ent weed wherever It Is established,
and considerable work will be required
to Ret rid of It. Wherever potatoes
can be jrrown they should be preferred
to artichokes.
Frenh Milk For the Calf.
If It Is desired to raise a calf give
It milk fresh ami from the cow, nnd
warm, the vessels to bp scrupulously
clean. If scours occur give a table
spoonfnl of ground dried blood once a
day. Linseed meal jelly Is also whole
some, but let the cnlf depend mostly
upon the warm fresh milk.
M untiring- n t-'tclil.
Half manuring a field is sometimes n
loss, as the labor ami time Is really
thrown away If the manure Is spread
over too much surface, it cannot sup
lily plant food to be of service unless
the quantity Is such ns to nfford a suf
ficiency to the crop, and it Is belter to
use all the manure on a small plot than
to attempt to spread a large field with
a limited quantity of manure.
Handling tho f'nlr.
The calf should be gently handled
from the start. The future disposi
tion of the cow depends upon
her treatment when young. To
make a gentle milker the calf
should never receive a blow or
a hnrsh word, In order thnt It mny
have confidence In the ntteudunts, nnd
It will not thereafter be nervous. It
should be rubbed, brushed, petted, fed
from the hand and the tents nnd ud
der frequently hnndled. It Is easier
to break In a calf than to worry with
a vicious kicking cow.
Keeping Onion Over Winter.
A well known spedsmnn recommends
laying onions eighteen Inches thick on
the floor In some outbuilding, and as
soon ns cold weather sets In with
freezing temperature, cover with
swamp hay, not far from two feet in
depth, with about the same thickness
of hay between the onions and the side
of the building.
Do not uncover or disturb iu nuy
way until freezing weather is past, uor
then until just about ready to sell. It
will be best for the frost to come out
before any of the bay Is removed, but
If it is desired to market before tho
frost would naturally leave, then take
off a part, never nil, of the hay to pro
mote thawing.
Tightening Loone Virc.
Even with the most careful build
ing a wire fence sometimes gets Ioopo
In places, from trees falling ou, or
stock running against It. Such places
may be easily nnd quickly tightened
by taking n monkey wrench or wire
nippers ami kinking tile wire lu n few
places, ns shown In t'io sketch, a a.
The kinks take up the slack much fast
er than one would imagine, who li:i3
not tried It, and It takes very little
from the strength of the wire. G. W.
McCluer, in New England Homestead.
Feeding htcera For Front.
Farmers who buy steers to feed do
so with the object of having the cattle
consume a large proportion of the fod
der, straw nnd other course foods.
The manure is considered the profit,
the price for the food being returned
when the steers are sold. Many furui
ers feed steers only during the winter
mouths, and do not use aiucli grain or
hay. The fact is that If the farmers
who feed steers will use a liberal sup
ply of grain, and even buy cottonseed
meal to assist the coarse foods, they
will not only have manure that Is
much richer, but also secure a more
rapid gain in the weight of the ani
mals. Frequently the lack of a single
element In the food will entail loss, be
cause the animal requires Just the one
substunce iu order to thrive Any ex
pense In providing varied foods will
bring back dollars for dimes.
Weight of ChK-ki.
The weight of an egg is usually
about two ounces, nnd that of a new
ly hutched chick about one and a quar
ter. At one week old two ounce's, at
three weeks old six ounces, at four
weeks old fourteen ounces, nt six
weeks old eighteen ounces, nt seven
weeks old twenty-three ounces, nt
eight weeks old twenty-eight ounces,
nt nine weeks old thirty-two ounces,
at ten weeks old thirty-six ounces, at
twelve weeks old forty ounces. Nutur
ally, these weight!) may vnry, accord
ing to the food and conditions, but
they are approximately correct.
Of course, there are some breeds of
poultry that could uot be taken In such
a test, the breeds thnt can enter being
tho standard flesh-producing classes.
Aud while we know that these weights
are attained quite often, nnd are just
what they should be, In order to get
tho best results, still many poultry
raisers do uot accomplish thnt much.
They fail in some way, and conse
quently their chickens di not grow as
rapidly as they should.-IIomo aud
I-'arrj.
Salt In tho Ualry.
Cows should be salted regularly, or
better still, should have constant ac
cess to salt. The practice of salting
them once is not a good one, as most
cattle will lick a little salt every day
If they can get It.
Thus provided they will yield more
and better milk than otherwise, and
will ulso maintain better health. As
salt provokes thirst, the milch animal
should have ns free -access to water
us to this saline mineral, or tho latter
will to her mote harm thnn good.
Kpenklng of salt leads me to say thnt
some failures iu dairy muter making I
have noted, enmo about by saltlug the
cattle and tho butter out of the same
barrel. In other words, course, Insolu
ble salt was used for the utter, when
only the highest aud iLust reUiivd
grade should be employed. Bait that
Is not soluble will not permeate the
substance of butter evenly, and thus
rnneldlty may be Induced. Again,
grains of snlt In butter always detract
from Its appearance, nnd nre Inimical
to even flavor, from these causes alone
lowering Its market value. Let me say
here that there nre to-dny Just as fine
grades of American ilnlry salt pro
duced as come from Knglnnd.
American milch cattle fed on Amer
ican grass produce buttpr salted with
American salt that Is the peer of any
on enrth, and Is so conceded In foreign
markets. In attaining this result,
however, one must utilize the best of
everything, thinking not thnt poor or
cheap material can be Introduced with
Impunity to future quality. I knew a
dnlrymnn once who. In a spasm of
economy (?), sought to save fifty cents
by purchasing a cheaper grade of salt
thnn was his wont, nnd later lost hit)
shipment of butter and thereby soveu
dollars. It was one of the most effec
tive lessons he could linve been tnught
In prnctlcnl dairying, exemplifying ns
It did thnt cheap material always pro
duces cheap quality. Whe:i 1 comes
to cheese mnklnn', salt holds just ns Im
portant a position ns in other dairy
lines, I. p., thnt solubility nnd purit
are highly necessary. The relation of
salt, be It understood, to nil phases of
dairying Is a highly Important one.
and because this fact is so little appre
ciated nccounts for mnry dairy fail

A Vory Commodious Yl.trn.
The plan of bnra shewn i:i th? cut

The Interior nrrangement of a bnrn
Is one of the utmost importance, since
ou a proper nrrangement depend the
convenience aud economy of time in
doing the work. It Is well, therefore,
when building a bnrn to sit down with
paper and pencil nnd mnke Interior
plans. When n plan has been made
go to work and do the "chores" right

water it, care for it In every way as

Willi a Few Aden.
.The former with a few acres has a
problem to solve quite different frorj
the man with hundreds. The latter
can raise almost any crop or crops he
desires, and do It with a certain
amount of ignorance and carelessness
which would bankrupt the farmer
with a few acres. Yet hi many re
spects the latter has the advantage of
the former, and of the two I should
prefer the farm of twenty or twenty
Ave acres to cultivate. The reason is
that In the latter case brains must en
ter largely Into the management oi
the farm, and It Is always satisfactory
to uso the brains Instead of the bauds
In accomplishing success. Tho small
farm must first of all be used for rais
ing only such crops which will give tho
surest and lnrgest returns, nnd every
square foot of It must be cultivated
to the highest degree. It Is possible
then to make more thnn a living, aud
have one of the finest aud best farms
In the country. Whnt a satisfaction
that Is to any ambitious man you can
readily Imagine.
On a small farm there should be
dairy cattle, pigs and fruit. This mnj
uot suit all farmers, and it may be dis
puted by some as to whether It Is a
wise selection. But we will see. Sup
pose we plant In the first place several
hundred fruit trees five hundred
peach, apple or pear trees, according
to the nature of the soil and climate.
Then while these trees are growing
we will raise dairy cows and a few
pigs. The cows In particulai should
be raised for their milk aud qrenin.
This can be done profit ably If there lrf
any good market near at hand or a
creamery which pays according to tho
worth of the milk, riant nearly all of
the laud left untouched by the fruit
trees with corn, leaving only an acre
or two f(;v pasture or recreation
ground for the cows. When the ooru
has reached the glazed state cut It for
the silo, aud put it all lu for ensilage.
Buy sufficient wheat or bran or slmllat
grain, nnd feed Jt with the ensilage
t lie year round. Feed everything In
the barn, and let the cows have the
freedom of the pasture lot for exercise
The animals will produce more milk,
aud cream In this way than any other,
and you can keep more lo the acre
than if you attempt to raise grass and
hay for them. They wbl soon learn to
lovo the ensilage and prefer It to al
most anything else, anil summer and
wlntei they will do well on It If sup
plemented with grain. A few- pig
mny be kept ou such a place, aud they
will thrive well on the skliu-mllk ob
tained nt tho creamery for a nominal
sum, Indeed, the tw go together very
well, unless the milk Is sold outright to
a city market, where there Is no skim
milk returns. Then the pigs will huvt
to be dispensed with. Meanwhile, the
grove of fruit trees should be culti
vated diligently, and a few more nerc
set with them every year. Of cotirsf
one will then soon need inoro acres, ot

THE WAYS OF THE COLF GIRL
Kllot Gregory TelU What la Inrolved In
Being a Champion Flayer,
It is not a pretty picture that Eliot
Gregory pnlnts In The Century, where
he describes the training of a golf
champion for the fight of her life:
Having hnd the honor this autumn
to visit In a country house near New-
York nt the same time ns a golf cham
pion, whose achievements on the links
were thrilling the country, I learned
many curious things about athletic
dnmsels nnd their ways. Tho young
lady in question arrived n week before
the tournament that wna to decide
her cuprcinney, accompanied by her
English trnlner, n masseuse, nn.l iu-
cldoutully by her mamma, u feeble
minded lady, so completely demoral

kIip could talk of Utile else, nnd wculd
confide, with little thrills of pride, to
nuy one she could get to listen to her,
luw she could r.ct t:ika a fe: rybtnt or
trolley enr without being pointed out
as tlie mother of tlia "chni.ipitn."
Nothing mere curious than the hnblla

The strain of the last twenty-four
hours was dreadful on the whole
household. We talked of little but the
match nnd tho "odds." It was rather
n shock, I confess, to discover that our
full Diana (on the verge of a break
down) was being kept to her work by
frequent libations of strong "tea" car
ried by mamma iu n flask for the pur
pose. All miuor Ills, however, were
forgotten when at noon on the great
day our sportswoman was brought
home, collapsed, but victorious. We
felt that glory had, Indeed, been shed
upon Vie house. Mnmmn, on the thin
edge of hysterics, where she hnd been
Btnggerlug for a week, sobbed out that
her only regret was that 'Tom" had
not lived to see the day; and that dear
"roily" had always been the Joy aud
comfort of her life!
As all the papers published photos
and biographical sketches of tho win

adorned most of the railway stations
nnd hotel lobbies in the country, nnd
that her pet nnmo was oa tho lips ef

The stutement that Mrs. Roosevclt'o
"dress allowance" Is $U00 a year Is
discussed with keen Interest by wo
men. Some say, "I don't see how she
does It;" ten times ns many, "I wish
I could speud as much." But all agree
that the mistress of the White House
sets an example of quiet and unosten
tatious living, even chough her dresses
cost ns doubtless they do rather
more thaa the very email amount

HINTS :
The Persian ling.
Few people renlizo Hint n square
foot of the average Persian rug Is
worth about $10, nnd It takes a single
weaver twenty-three days to complete
this portion. This allows the weaver
about forty-four cents per day for her
wool and her labor, but three-fourths
'of this amount goes to pny for the
wool, nnd only eleven cents per dny
Is left for the weaver. The wages of
the producer of the Inferior rugs are
a Utile belter. A square foot Is sold
for about sixty cents, nnd the time re
quired for weaving it Is but two days,
t litis allowing the weaver thirty cents
per day for her wool nnd labor. She
uses Inferior wool, wanting but little
o" It, and pays only n nominal sum for
n cheap dye. The framework of her
loom costs comparatively llttlo, ns the
rug It produces Is from twenty to
thirty t laics the size of the superior
rug. Thus It appears thnt In tho long
run the Inferior weaver Is better paid
thnn the one who fatigues her brain
Willi her efforts to produce a rug ot
the best quality. Chicago Record-Herald.
From Tier Intn1yiihlpR Dlnry.
My Laldy Unlnty, who hns a genius
for detail, and especially for the de
tails not seen by all the world, says
that she considers muslin or linen cov
ers for bureau drawers among the ne
cessities of life. She hns them mnde
to fit the Inside of tho drawer. They
nre of blue, white or pink, according
to tho room for which they are Intend
ed, and arc lined with lavender or or
ris powder and worked wllh a mono
gram or a spray of flowers. These cov
ern serve the triple purpose of making
the drawer look neat, keeping out dust
nnd perfuming whatever is laid under
neath them.
I.ady Dainty Is fond of fine lace and
envies every one who possesses any
old lace. Slip says nothing Is too good
for old laeo of flue quality, and 110 care
too great to keep It In perfect, condi
tion. It should be kept lu a drawer
lined with white sntln, she declares,
and every now nnd then exposed to the
air nnd the sunlight. If this Inst pre
caution Is not taken one's nncestral
treasures may fall n prey to the dis
ease which attacks old thread lace,
leaving It covered with brown spots
that nre almost impossible to remove.

Ttovr to Prepare Boned SIcati.
Bouiug poultry is a very difficult
matter, and requires experience to do
It well. It Is best learned by watching
another who Is accustomed to the
work, and even then It Is better to pay
for having It done rather thnn run the
risk of spoiling the bird. Sometimes
It Is necessary to cut the skin up the
back nnd sometimes it cau bo mau
nged without. When n turkey or fowl
has been boned, the plnco of lha bone
Is generally filled with miuced ham
and tongue forcemeat, or minced veal
nnd sausage meat, then drawn as
much ns possible Into its original
shape. It Is the carver who reaps tho
benefit when a bird Is boned, nud for
cold eating the mixture of meats Is
very tnsty, while it also becomes eco
nomical lu tUc cutting.
To bone meat, however, Is by no
means so difficult, the only essentials
being a sharp knife and some knowl
edge of oiiatomy.' Tho favorite pieces
chosen for bonlug are the ribs of beef,
loin of mutton, shoulder ditto, nud fil
let of veal. Where bones are numer
ous, as in the neck, It Is better to cook
tho meat first, when it is easy to slip
them out. Boned meat Is certainly
more economical for a family, as it
can be cut without wasting any part,
aud the bones arc made better use of
In the stockpot, but, on the other bnnd,
something of the sweetness of the
meat Is sacrificed, for, ns In fruit, tho
best flavor clings to tho hone or stoae.
