Tho averngo observer Is probably not aware that there aro moro ways of milking thnn ono. This remark la meant to apply to hand milking. Every dairyman, especially thoBo with large herdB, knows that tho dif ference between skilful and unskil ful milking Is ono that will affect bis account book considerably In a year's time. An experiment to dem onstrate the value of export as against Inexpert milking was carried out recently nt Ontario Collego. Tho Inexperienced milker generally drew from one to two pounds less at a day's milking than tho careful oper ator. Where a herd of CO cows Is milked dally this would mean a dif ference of about CO gallons a day In the yield. Some cows aro of such a disposi tion that no change of surroundings or milkers seems to affect them. Many, on the other hand, aro ex tremely nervous. The temperament of each cow should be studied, In order to get tho best results. Not bo very long ago, a well known dairyman declared that singing at milking time was conducive to a heavy pall. Keeping Cream From Spnttcrlng. When churning, cream may bo prevented from spattering out of the hole In the cover by the device shown In the accompanying Illustration. Cut a hole In the bottom of an old tin HOW THE CAN IS PLACED, can, from which the top has been removed, large enough for tho plun ger to pass through. Place tho can over the plunger upside down, and the cream will not splosh out. II. A. Blanchard, Cook Co., Ill Advice to Hard Worked Farmer. Building up the dairy farm Is not bo handy to tho man who has not tho things ready made to his hand. It Is this representative of tho great American class of farmers, who Is eating the bread In the sweat of his face, who can 111 afford to make mis takes. He is tho average bravo hearted, struggling burden bearer who ever should have concern that any message that Is sent may reach him. To this man I have given tho advlco to sell and Invest the proceeds In as many good cows as they will buy, but buying Is tho very last way to get good ones. My advlco to such a man would be to get Into shapo to feed those cows a good full ration for a whole year. A cow may be better than sho looks or worse than sho looks; tho only way to tell one Is to llvo with her. Get rid of tho poor ones they take tho bread out of your mouth, but tho more promising ones may surprise you with Judicious feeding. Put them to test; shelter them from storms; be kind to them; don't try to half starve them on a dry pasture but give them tho full round year ration. Send your scrub bull to tho butcher and get tho best bull of your breed that you can buy. Tho foregoing Is from a recent ad dress of W. P. McSparren at a dairy meeting. We wish to add to this advlco, viz: Breed your best cows to such a bull as Is recommended, and thus grow bettor and better dairy cows. Good cows aro so valuable that they are not for sale. Breed them In your own herd Is tho only way to obtain them. Indiana Far mer. New Use for Rock Phosphate. Sanitation about tho dairy barn can be greatly Improved during tho winter months by the use of some kind of an absorbent. For tho past three years I have been using rock phosphate about my stable and find It a most excellent absorbent of tho odors. This rock I purchased with eome of my neighbors In cor lots. The cost per ton is about $7. I have used a great deal of land plas ter In my stables but find that tho rock phosphato is much bettor and also restores phosphoric acid to the soil, -which Is very essential in plant growth. This pulverized rock is spread about tho stabie immediately after cleaning, thus absorbing odors bofore they Infest tho stable. L. C. Itaynolds, in tho Wisconsin Agricul turist Keep tho poultry house clean and give them an occasional whlto wash ing and tho fowls will bo froo from lice. A pound . of poultry can bo grown at leas cost than a pound of beef and lg worth mora. For the Children Old Glory Wt.a Its Two New Stars. rMIJ" Mil HIT TlfWlllB II Congress at Its recent session passed n bill admitting tho territories of New Moxlco and Arizona as sister states of tho Union. Although tho president ap proved tho measure, the new states will not actually como Into the Union until certain formalities arc complied with. This will take some time, and the two new stars will not properly belong on the flag until July 4, 1011. For tho first time In more than a gen eration tho stars will appear in n per fect parallelogram, as shown In the above Illustration eight stars across tho top nnd six stars deep. Heretofore It has been a problem to dlsposo them symmetrically, but the number forty eight permits of regular arrangement Tho Patient Camel. The Arabs desire three good things In a camel: It must have a soft back, must not require the whip and must not scream when It gets up or lies down. In desert lands tho camel Is exceedingly valuable. It Is a riding steed and a rapid one. for camels of the desert can accomplish distances and speeds such as no other tame crea ture will attempt. It is a beast of burden that can carry the heaviest of loads. Besides, the camel supplies Its owner with food nnd clothing. The milk mixed with meal is n favorite dish among the children of tho desert. The long hair of the camel Is spun into a coarse thread and is used in tho manufacture of cloth. At certain times of the year the camel sheds its hair in order to replace Its old coat by a new one, and the Arabs pluck It from tho skin without hurting tho camel and use it to mako cloth. Squirrel and Pino Cone. If you wished to strip a pine cono you would probably begin nt the top and have lots of trouble. Tho squirrel knows better than that Ho does not prick his fingers or pinch his whiskers or gnaw into tho solid cone any more than Is necessary. Ho knows better than to cut off the top and work his way downward or to gnaw into the spiny shields. He whirls tho cono bot tom upward in a twinkling and then cuts through the thin and tender bases of tho scales, soon laying bare tho two seeds, which he at once eats. Ho strips It so easily and quickly that you can not tell how ho does it unless you drive him off and Inspect bis unfinished work. Sunrise and tho Rooster. Onco there was a man who was awakened every morning by tho trum pet of a rooster. This so provoked him that at last, putting his head out of tho window, ho shouted: "Miserable creature! Is It not enough that you crow by day? Early every morning you crow and crow uutll you cause the sun to rise. Then 1 have to get up and work. If you do not keep quiet in tho morning I shall certainly wring your neck." And so ho did, but too lato ho found that the sun rose from other causes than tho crowing of a rooster. Tho Minister's Cat. This game is very similar to that of "I lovo my love." Each of tho play ers must descrlbo tho minister's cat, going right through the alphabet to do so. "Tho minister's cat is an angry cat" says one; "an anxious cat," says another, and so on until every ono has used an adjective beginning with "A." Then they tako tho "B's." "Tho min ister's cat is a big cat" and so on. The leader of tho game must sco that no ono hesitates for a word. If any ono should tako longer than a half mlnuto ho must pay a forfeit They Didn't Fit. Father Why were you kept in after school to-day, John? Didn't you know your lessons? John Yes, I knew 'em well enough, but I Just couldn't mako tho answers fit the questions. Musio Lessons. Sometimes I walk with mother when the evening has begun. We listen to the good night songs the birds sing to the sun; We hear the tinkle of the brook that hur ries down the hill To Join the long, dark river winding by the old stone mill. . A song runs through the tall pine trees, and tree toads loudly peep. And thud-thud eound the little feot ot all tho running sheep. My mother calls It musto lessons. Why, I cannot see. For there's no dreary counting no on says, "Now, one, two, threol" Oh, how I wish when practicing the little notes I strike Would make the outdoor muslo and the bird songs that I llkel If C sharp sounded like the laughing wa terfall Or B flat rang out llko the whlppoorwlll's sweet call I wouldn't mind my lessons, for practic ing for rne Would be Just like a concert while I count my "One, two, three." Youth's Companion. i jSJfjort jgfermontf p FOR A Theme: THE VOICE OF GOD. OY THE REV. E. F. SANDERSON. Text And It shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out my spir it upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions, and also upon the servants and handmaids In those days will I pour out my spirit. Joel 11:28-29. The day that saw tho canon of Scripture closed and God's rovclatlon to future generations discounted In advance marks a dark, sad chapter In tho history of vital religion. In every age God has poured forth His spirit upon nil flesh. Sons and daugh ters have prophesied, old men havo dreamed dreams and young men havo seen visions. The servants and hand maids havo felt the throb and urge of tho Divine Spirit, but not a syllablo of later revelation has ever crept Into the sacred pages. When tho canon was closed men began to think of the Golden Age of revelntion, as In the past, and to speak of the Holy Land. We aro only Just recovering from the incalculable injury of n closed canon. Jesus opened up the old canon of His day and added its richest treas urer to the Bible. Then ho declared that there was revelation yet to como He struck a blow at the closed canon which should havo been remembered. God spoke In no different way to Moses or Samuel or David or Isaiah or Paul or Jesus than He has spoken to the spiritually quickened of all generations. I yield to none In my reverence for the truth which shines forth from the pages of the Bible, but God's voice has never been silenced. Ho never spoko more clearly or distinctly above the clouds of SInal than He Is speak ing in thousands of hearts to-day. Nietzsche may cry, God is dead. My God is alive and His voice can bo heard wherever a human soul stands forth for righteousness or Justice, or human brotherhood, wherever love to God and love to man is fealessly pro claimed. Many sons and daughters of our time are prohesylng. They have caught the divine Idea of the universo and seen into the eternal heart and meaning of life, but many of them havo been labeled with approbrious titles and shunned even by tne church. So difficult Is it to recognize the divine word when we hear It; bo dlfllcult to believe that men and women of to day are temples of a lvllng, speaking God; so difficult to see that the new light which Jesus promised Is grow ing brighter before our eyes In the great movements of these prophetic times the new theology and tho awakening of the social consciousness throb with the urge of divine life, proclaiming a God Immanent In His world and working for a mighty con summation. The old phrases have lost their power to grip the minds and hearts of men. The truth they contained must be clothed In a new terminology and harmonized with tho modern mind. God's call for readjustment Is be ing answored by devoted scholars In Germany and England and France and America. Preserving all that Is best in tho past, they aro listening for the voice of tho God who has never failed to speak to tho successive gen erations of His children. In almost every land to-day there aro movements toward the solidarity of the race, an emphaBls on the things which unite mon In a universal broth erhood. Wo are becoming conscious of a call to answer such questions ns theso: Is it really necessary that the greater portion of tho people of tills world should be mlserablo in a dreary exlstenco? Can It ever bo any advantage to a man to keep others In poverty nnd wretchedness? Is It worth whllo to fight with ono another instead of helping and encouraging ono another? Is hnto hotter than love? Is property of more value ths human beings? Theso questions come from thoso who are listening for the message of God to our time and have heard Him say "Theso things ought not to bo." Everywhere I meot militant souls, who have caught the vision of a now hoaven and a now earth and aro aflame with zeal to make tho crooked Btralght; to tear down tho walls which divide men and build up a spiritual unity which has room for nil and a Bympathy with everything which makes for common good. Thoy aro witnesses of God's prcsonce, showing forth the throbbing spirit of God within tho spirit ot man. The church which does not adjust itself to this spirit of the times, but stands aside in magnificent isolation is doomed, and ought to be. Tho forces which are at work to-day are throbbing with the thrust and drive of tho spirit of Jesus. In all the changes of tho pass ing centuries, that slprlt has captained tho hosts which strove for progress and enlightenment and tho common good. What power there would bo in a united church thundering the claims of righteousness in tho face ot the forces organized In tho servico of Mammon. $495 . ERIE R. R.
