It Is otton asserted that water on bituminous coal both aids combustion and maltes the coal last." House wives, office men who live where this coal Is used, and who are compelled to maintain stove or furnnco fires, are firm believers, as a rule, In this para dox. Thai water on coal cannot do both, these people would know if thuy but thoughtfully considered it. a min ute. The facts are these (and any one may easily verify them): In a llRht lire, that Is to say, a rtovo or house furnace, water sprinkled on largo lump coal really causes It to burn more rapidly, it soaks Into the stra ta. Into the porous surface, and being there converted Into steam becomes corrugated and ci'Verous, thus offer ing a larger area of carbon to the ac tive oxygen of the air. If tho water is in excess of the amount which will do this. It then no longer aids com bustion, but retards it. Again, if the coal is lino, a small dampness, noth ing approaching wetness, however, may increase combuslon by holding the particles apart, thus permitting the air to bo admitted. In short, says the Scientific Ameri can, water on coal favors combustion, when It does favor it, only by assist ing the oxygen of tho nir to find more ready access to the surface of the car'ion. No Common Offender. "See here, your Honor!" protested the irate young aristocrat, in city court, "just because my auto happen ed to run over somebody's pet cur dog and toss its carcass free of the road, this bungling policeman arrests me for exceeding the nuto-spood lim it; and then, besides embarrassing me before my guests by refusing to take my word of honor that I would appear in court without his escort, he tramples upon my dignity by drag ging me out of my auto then and there. Sir, I'm a gentleman and not a common offender!" "Never mind," calmly returned tho judge, with becoming dignity; "I'll not treat you as a common offender. I'll flue you $100!"

The landlord laid the letter before the select company of the bar parlor, who advised calm indifference. Also, a Croesus among them offered 10 shill ings In cash for the autograph letter. Both advice and cash were accepted. A second and stronger letter followed; and this also found a purchaser, this time at 1, as befitted Its Increased violence. Boniface again said nothing.

There are several cardinal reasons why the separator Is needed on every farm where cows are kept: 1.- It saves lots of timo over the old method of raising tho cream. !i. It saves I work, as there are uo jars or pans to 1 fuss with and wash. 3. -It Is easier to carry the cream to tho creamery two or three times n week, than it is to send a wagon load of milk cans each day. 4. It saves money in the amount of extra cream which Is ob tained. 5. Tho warm skim milk Is better for the stock, whether It Is calves or pigs. Statistics show that the feeding valuo of separator skim ming is from 20 cents to 40 cents per hpndred-welght. Therefore, by feed ing it to the young stock with a little oil cake, they will get fatter than they did by the old method, and with separator skim milk they escape the sickness that comes from the gravity milk. 0. Tho cream from the separa tor makes better butter than that which Is raised by tho old pan meth ods. It Is a well-known fact thnt but ter fat with impurities In it will not make as good butter as butter fat with the Impurities taken out. The separator removes all these natural Impurities. 7. Thoro Is more money In it all around where tho farmer uses a separator, for ho gets more cream, better cream, honco makes higher grade butter, and gets better returns from his stock because of the fresh skim milk which is fed. STOPS COW MILKING HERSELF. Contrivance Arranged That Will Save Dairyman Many Pounds of Butter. Tho following instructions are given in answer to an inquiry regarding a devico to prevent a cow from sucking herself: "Securing two lengths of small cord, also six pieces of round, light wood about 12 inches long and 1 1-2 inches in diameter, I bored 3-S Inch holes at each end of the sticks, then having tied a knot at ono end of the rope, I threaded on the sticks. Not having shorter pieces of wood, I bored through the center likewise to thread A Milk Saver, between the longer sticks. I knotted the cord on either side of tho sticks, then throwing tho same across the cow's neck (having regulated tho knots and sticks to suit the small of the nock and also the shoulder), I tied the ends of tho cords around the first knot. The accompanying illustra tion shows the result. This device prevents the cow from reaching her flanks and in my case has stopped the failing and will save quite a few Intensive Dairy Farming. Tho question is often asked how many cows a certain number of acres will support. By the energy of the farm is to he devoted to raising food for the dairy cow. A farm In a good state of fertility can be easily ar ranged so that ono could keep a cow to every two acres if tho land is all good, rich, tillablo land. And one would be ablo to raise both the for age or bulky part of the ration, and the grain ration, too. It could be done In a few years' time with the proper handling of the herd on the farm. Three crops upon the farm will do it first, corn; second, clover hay, and, third, peas and oats. Of course, tho clover sod would bo plowed down for corn and then the corn ground bo put Into peas and oats the following season. With these three foods one can make a balanced ration for tho dairy cow without purchasing any other outside food, either concen trated or bulky. The statement has often been made that an aero of good land will support a cow tho year round. Ono dairyman mado the remark that he could keep two cows on nn aero, but practically the man who keeps one cow on two acres Is doing very good business if he gets fair prices for the product It is a fact that the demand for milk, butter and cheese Is Increasing fast er than cows and that prices are con tinually advancing. There Is no bet ter business than dairying. The Feed of Colts and Calves. It 1b a mistake to allow the colts and calves to go onto pasture skin pure. Keep them in good flesh with hay and grain foods. Corn and clov er hay are about tho best feeds for these young animals, and they will eat them all the year round. Dry clov er hay Is relished by all cattle and horecs, oven when on good summer pasture, and 'it is a good thing to give them a dally feed of 1L : J SUGGESTIVF ilW 3 On the Sundr" Schorl 1 nn ' Rev.

"I wanted to do It all myself, Sam. Why didn't you let me?" But it was no timo for "back answers"; just as the tiny fig ure of an old lady was lifted into tho girl's boat, the lightning flashed and thunder roared. "George, she's all in," said Sam; "you manage your boat. May, and I'll tow tho other."

"Why, why," gasped May, "that Is exactly like some lace I have." "Like this? And where did you buy it? But pardon, signorina, will you tell me who this man Is?" Tho wom an's eyes were fixed upon the 'keep er.' "Do you mean my tho keeper of tho light? My daddy-captain?"
