CREAMERY
L.TTLE DANGER PROM SILAOE.
Nothing Cheaper In Dairying Than
Corn and Alfalfa Feed.
In discussing tho feed problem a
neighbor of mlno made tho startling
statement that silage will eat out a
cow's stomach and cause her to lose
her teeth. When I got home I thought
I would ooe If all of my cows had
teeth and If any stomachs were miss
ing. Suro enough, I found a young
caw with a tooth gone, but thoro was
Modern Method of Filling Silo.,
a better one coming In Its place, writes
C Li. Hunt In Farm and Home.
I found another cow that has beon
eating silage for over 13 years and
has been giving over 12,000 pounds of
milk per year. It takes an 8 1-2 foot
string to roach around this cow's bar
rel. Cows that freshen In the fall and
are fed on silage will give one-third
more milk. When the .cows freshen
In the spring It Is almost Impossible
to keep up the full flow throughout
August and September becauso of the
drought which cuts pasture short.
With feed so high we must look
on all sides of the question. If wo
study the problem there Is no need
for saying that there Is no money
In dairying. There Is nothing cheap
er or more productive of net profit In
dairy work than a combination of al
falfa and corn silage.
If you have tried alfalfa once and
failed try till you succeed. An old
colored preacher's definition of per
serveranco is: Firstly, take hold;
secondly, hold on; and thirdly, neb
ber let go. We must persevere If we
would have a crop of alfalfa, but It is
worth perserverlng for.
The Dairyman's Friend.
Alfalfa Is the dairyman's friend,
surely, If tho figures of D. H. Otis are
correct. Ho figures that a ton of al
falfa contains 220 pounds of digestible
protein, which at six cents a pound
would be worth 513.20, and, If we got
four tons to the acre, we could have
a value of $52.80. Of course, for a
dairyman to realize this much from
an acre of alfalfa, he must feed judici
ously in proper combination with
feeds; but If he realizes only one
half of this amount, he is getting ex
cellent returns from his land. Wheat
bran, long and standard feed for dairy
cows, contains only 12.2 pounds of di
gestible protein In every 100 pounds.
Winter Dairying.
A good many dairy farmers are pay
ing a great deal of attention to win
ter dairying. They find that they get
better prices for milk and for butter
during the winter than during the
Bummor months. They have more
time in winter to devote strictly to
dairy work. The calves may be
brought along to the best advantage
during the winter months, nnd they
are ready to make good use of tho
young grass when It comes on In the
spring. Such 'dairymen allow tho
herd and calves to take caro of them
selves to a certain extent during
spring seeding and summer harvest,
when their attention Is fully occupied
with growing, crops. It is another
way of spreading tho work of the
farm through the entire year.
Successful Dairymen.
The most successful dairymen are
those who use thoroughbred cows, nnd
who make a business of testing them
regularly with the scales and Dab
cock testor. Such cows not only glvo
more milk than common tows or
grades, but their offspring Is valuable.
The money from calves alone some
times amounts to more than the pro
fit from the milk. Of course very
much depends on the ability ' of the
farmer as a salesman. One man will
get four times as much for a calf as
another man would get for one equal
ly as good, because the first man
knows bow to Bhow up Its good quali
ties, while the second mau Is too
modest.
Environment li Necessary.
No matter how well our cattle are
bred, or how Intelligently they are fed
If the environment does not corre
spond with their breeding and feeding
our efforts are In vain.
Qualities of Breeding. ,
If brooding signifies anything at
all It means that the qualities of the
eow for producing a largo amount of
Bilk are to be transmitted to her
Uugtatar.
Highest Known Temperature.
Sir Androw Noble has reached tho
highest point of temperature in ter
restrial thormomotry, says Harper's
Magazine Ho has accomplished this
by exploding cordlto In closed vessels
with a resulting presuro of 60 tons to
the square inch, and a temperature of
no loss than 5,200 degrees C. Sir
William Crookes saw that one Inci
dental result of this experiment
should have boon the formation of
diamond that Is. If his calculations
wore correct. On working over the'
residues of tho explosion chamber ho
has recently extracted from them
small crystals that seem to be verit
able diamonds. Wo see. then, that If
mon cannot control the conditions
that mako for large diamonds, they,
at least, understand them. It Is, In all
likelihood, a matter of a comparative
ly short'tlme when the diamond will
have been conquered as absolutely as
ruby,
With this final temperature of 2,500
degrees C, wo have reached the limit
looking back wo see that every stop
In temperature ho has so far taken
has led him Just so far along the path
to universal conquest tne absolute
conquest which ho Is destined ulti
mately to make. But In this phaso
of temperature alone he still has far
to go. Wo have had evidence from
many sources that even In tho sun,
which Is by no moans the hottest of
the heavenly bodies, and which yet
possesses temperatures that transcencj,
anything wo know on earth, the very
elements of matter He there disin
tegrated Into simpler forms. Such
temperatures are the distant Alplno
heights ever and ever so far higher
than the slight ascent to which wo
havo so tendlously arrived.
Gum Going in Maine.
Doleful reports come from tho
Maine woodsy The spruce gum indus
try is on the decline, and tne prices
for the sticky delight are on the rise.
Gum that would not have brought
moro than 50 or GO cents a plund a
few years ago, gum of a gritty, acrid,
Ill-flavored sort, now Eells for ?1 and
$1.25 a pound at Bangor and other
gum centres. A few years ago the
best gum that was ever cheweu, fresh
from the wind-swept gum trees of tho
north, sold at 75 cents a pound, and
was chewed by the fairest in the land.
Bits of Maine were in everybody's
mouth, so to speak. Maine spruce
gum ranked alongside of James C3.
Blaine and Thomas B. Reed In mak

for tho House, spruce gum did for the
common people it regulated the jaw
movement. People sank their teeth
into Maine spruce gum and ennobling
thoughts. came perforce. It would be
Impossible to eay ho wmuch of the
nation's valor has found its origin in
the effort to separate working parts
of the system from Maine gum. But
it is all over, and the gum la becom

Tale of an Animal Trainer.
Animal trainers of the old days led
adventurous lives. In 1600 all London
was talking of a man named Benkes,
servant to the Earl of Essex, who had
taught his horse to count and perform
a number of feats, including mounting
to tho top of St. Paul's Cathedral
whllo "a number of asses," as the his
torian puts it, "brayed below." Sir
Walter Raleigh, in his history, says of
Bankos that he "would have shamed
all of the enchanters of the world; for
whatsoever was most famous among
them could never master or Instruct
any beast as he did hlsi horse." When
Bankes took his horse to Rome both
were burnt for 'witchcraft.
Introducing Hall Calne.
In one of Hf.ll Calne's visits to this
country a uanquet was given in his
honor in a certain city and Thomas
Nelson Page was invited to Introduce
tho guest of the evening. Just before
the toast began Mr. Page's righthand
neighbor passed his menu around tho
table with the request that Calno
should lead the usual "autographing"
with his signature. "Good Idea," said
Pago; "I'll send my menu card along
too. I've got to Introduce Hall Calno
in a few minutes and I want to bo
able to say that I have read something

Notes and
Comment
Of Interest to Women Reader
FOR BAKING POTATOES.
Tuber 8tuck en Spikes and Cook
Evenly All Around.
Hereafter the burned potato will be
a thing forgotten in well-appointed
households. The epicure need no
longer fear the sight of a tuber with
one side the color of the earth and
tho other sldo the color of nttsburg.
A Massachusetts man has Invented a
potato-baking utensil which Insures
nn even cooking all around and
through to tho very heart of the vege
table. This utensil consists of a long
motal plate with opposite rows of V-
shnped Incisions, the metal there
within having been turned up to form
rows of spikes, on which potatoes are
ranged. Stuck upon these prongs,
tho potatoes become thoroughly and
uniformly roasted and there Is no
necessity of turning them from side to
side to keep" them from becoming
scorched In one part. At one end of
the bottom plate is a handle piece by
which the device may be pushed in or
pulled out of the oven without burn
ing the fingers on the hot metal.
For Invalids.
Beef Julco. Take lean round steak.
Heat It slightly in a pan. over tho fire,
then squeeze In a warm lemon squeez
er. Season with a little salt. Serve
In a colored claret glass, as Invalids
often object to beef Julco on account
of the color.
Baked Milk. Put the milk in a
Jar, covering the opening with white
paper, and bake In a moderate oven
until thick as cream. May be taken
by the most delicate stomach.
Glycerine and Lemon Juice. Half
and half on a piece of absorbent cot
ton Is the best thing to moisten the
lips and tongue of a fever parched pa
tient. Onion Gruel. Boll a few sliced on
ions In a pint of fresh milk, stirring
In a little oatmeal and a pinch of salt;
boll until the onions become tender
and take at once.
COUNTESS SENT TO PRISON.
Lady Constance Lytton Placed In Jail
for Taking Part In Suffragette
Demonstration.
Lady Constance Lytton and Mrs. H.
N. Brallsford, arrested following a
suffragette demonstration against
David Lloyd-George, chancellor of the
exchequer, were sontenccd to a
month's Imprisonment which term she
served.
Silk Stockings Indispensable.
Susan B. Anthony was a woman of
simple taste In dress) but her close
friends knew of ono protty feminine
vanity she always held to. Sho had a
wraknoss for silk stockings. Being
pressed on ono occasion for an ex
planation of what most women at ono
1 1 mo regarded as an unnecssary ex
travagance, she laughingly exclaimed:
"Oh, I Just love 'em. They are an In
spiration. If I have ray silk stockings
on when I rise to make an addross, I
feel just like I am walking among the
clouds. They help me to soar away
on flights of eloquonce. I wouldn't be
without them."
Household Sachet.
A coarse powder to placo In sachets

THE CONSTITUTION
OF THE KINGDOM.
International Bible Leseen for Jan. 23,
1010 (Matt. 8:1-18).
The Bonn on
on the Mount Is
a magnificent
temple of truth
the portico to
which is an eight
columned arcade.
Let us examine
these stupendous
pillars.
Tho first thing
arresting our at
tention Is their
unique and unpa
ralleled construc
tion. They nro
.he direct opposltes of the popular con
option of what constltues blessednoss.
The world says, "Blessed are the rich,
ilessed are the powerful, blessed aro
.te proud, bfessed are the beautiful,
essed are those who have every
iilng their own way." But theso
'ant columns read, Blessed are the
oor In spirit, blessed are they that
uourn, blessed arc the meek, blessed
iro tho hungry for righteousness,
"'essed aro the merciful, blessed are
he pure, blessed pre the peacemakers,
lessed are the persecuted.
Tills Is altogether a new voice on
he earth, and they sounded just as
strangely In Jewish and Roman cir
cles when they were enunciated as
'hey do to-day. What a contrast they
t.rcsent to our modern hero worship
-ind our glorification of "muscular
Christianity!" Things are topsy tur
vy in tho moral world when physical
ourage and brute force elicits admira
tion at the expense' of milder virtue.
dog has boldness, a cock can crow,
a peacock can strut, a tiger can fight,
ind many qualities of martial prowess
juch as the unthinking admlro aro
the marks of low grade. On the con
crary these beatitudes, like the
flashing facets of a diamond, are the
characteristics of a religious gentle
man. It must not be overlooked that this
portico is Interconnected. It Is not
eight separate and distinct pillars; It
Is an eight-fold structure, no part of
which can be eliminated, all of which
Is necessary to make up the structure.
On the fourth hinges the three preced
ing, and the following are logical se
quences of all that have gone before.
The spirit of the first note of this oc
tave runs through the whole, culmin
ating In the last. Or to change the
figure yet again, we are enthroned In
humility, nnd diademed in persecu
tion. These beatitudes ought to cheer
every poor man's heart and sanctify
every rich man's palace. For there
are proud poor men and humble rich
men. It is possible to bo proud even
of our humility and make a god of
our lowliness. We are not to mako
Uriah Heeps of oursolves, stooping
and cringing and apologizing for ex
istence, making a show of humility.
Diogenes Jumped upon Plato's bed
saying, "Thus I stamp on Plato's
pride,'" but he did it with still greater
pride. True humility Is a beautiful
trait, It Is the first pillar in the por
tico. Tho same Is true of thoso that
mourn, who are not ashamed of tears,
and who do not brazenly go through
life confessing no fault. If to err Is
human, It Is certainly manly to re
pent. The tears that fall from eyes
of sincere mourners, like summer
showers, fertilize tho soil of tho
heart so that it blooms and blossoms
In flowers.
Thoro are some who think the ele
ment of meekness is only another
name for weakness. But the meek
nro tho lords of tho earth. Real do
minion Is only given to the meek.
Mcokuess delivers from supersen
sitlvenoss. You will not bo thin
skinned enough to get hurt at every
Blight. You will not have to be al
ways .running around looking after
your reputation. Your dignity will
not suffer so much. The Apostle Paul
tolls us to "put off the old man" but
he does not tell us when we have
dono that, to put on the old woman.
Meekness Is not weakness.
So also It is with the merciful. The
merciful man will be merciful to
everybody and everything and will be
merciful all the time. Merciful to his
employees, merciful to his wife and
children, merciful to bla dog and his
horse and his cat. "The quality of
mercy is not strained."
"For the dear God who loveth us.
He made and loveth all."
Purity of heart is also demanded,
materialism says, "The circumstances
are wrong," Christ says the trouble
is in the heart The heart puro, every
activity of the life will be pure. If
the splderweb troublos you kill the
spider. You will not have to spend
so much time ou their work.
These beat'tudes teach us that the
animal will not always rule over the
ethereal. Gun and swords will be
dropped in the good time coming, and
men will learn that sunshine Is more
potent than lightning, though It is not
heralded by salvos of thunder. Not
Napoleon with his artillery, but Christ
with hi beatitudes is the real ruler of
the world.
