The bouse gown that partakes of the
nature of the tea-gown, yet Is not too
elaborate for morning wear, fills a
practical need and always finds a
place. The May Manton model Illus
trated In the double-column cut has the
merit of being exceedingly effective
and giving a decidedly smart effect
while, in reality, It Is simplicity Itself.
A deft arrangement of trimming aud
the applied revers give a bolero effect,
and the Watteau back means charm
and grace. The model Is made from

Oreen cut bone can be kept for fowls
as long ns It remains sweet, but when
It begins to turn moldy or spoil It Is
not safe to feed. In cold weather It
ran be kept from a week to a month;
In warm weather only one or two days.

Succulent feed o'f some kind should

give the horses a feed at least oneo n

carrots, but horses will soon learn to
eat rutabagas, sugar beets and pota

If the roots or vegetables ennnot bo ob

Experiments In ffabsolltng.
Experiments In subsolllng In the
spring for corn did not show any bene
ficial results. Subsolllng should bo
practiced In the fall and on land tint
has good drainage facilities. When tin
soil Is loosened to the depth of one or
two feet its capacity for extra mois
ture Is Increased, bnt this extra sup
ply of moisture will keep the land cold
If It has to escapo by evaporation.
Should plenty of rain fall In the sprlnc
until the ground Is snturated the soil
will not become sufficiently warm to
Induce rapid growth of plants until
the water Is carried off by under
drainage.
Milk and Temperature,
In sterlllislng milk It Is important
thnt tho temperature' should not be
made too high, ns the milk when
heated above seventy degrees centi
grade loses Its flavor cud nutritive
quirtltles. On the other hand, the hent
must be sufficiently Intense to kill the
pathogenic organisms, particularly the
tubercle bncillus. A temperature of
sixty-five degrees centigrade for twen
ty minutes Is believed to destroy this
bacillus, and milk which Is Pasteur
ized or heated to sixty-eight degrees
ocntlgrade for twenty minutes Is siilil
to be quite, safe, while Its flavor Is
practically unchanged. Certain au
thorities claim that tuberculous milk
can still possess Infective power nfter
Pasteurization, but It has been found
that the tubercle bacilli suspended In
water, a solution of salt, bouillon, or
milk were destroyed at sixty degrees
centigrade In from fifteen to twenty
minutes. If, however, a pellicle forms
on the milk and encloses any of the
tubercle bacilli, they seem to be pro
tected, for they limy sustnln an hour's
heating at sixty degrees centigrade
without being destroyed. ,
One Way to Itetnove Ilnv
Often bunches of hay must lie re
moved by hand from laud too soft to
drive n team upon. It Is often desira
ble, also, to move a few bunches to tho
stablo from a point nearby without
bitching up the team. An old wheel
barrow wheel fitted to two long poles
as shown in the cut will be found a
most convenient device. Tho free
ends of tho poles can be slipped tinder
the bunch, which can then be wheeled
away. American Agriculturist.,
A Problem For Dairymen.
A large percentage of distress and
complaint among farmers Is not be
cause of hard times, but because they
have not learned the great lesson of
the age cheaper production. The mo
ment tho milk leaves tho farm It goes
out on a new road, where a careful
watch Is kept over every cent to seo
that each one does its largest work.
Is tho farmer doing this with his milk
before it leaves the farm? You may
hare the beBt cows In the world, but
If you do not manage them properly
you will fall. You may have good
cows and be a skilful feeder, but If you
are not a good soil manager, and do
not grow the milk food crops wisely,
you will full again. How much does
your milk cost per 100 pounds? Every
poor cow makes It cost more. Tho
market for milk nnd butter and cheeso
does not cure what It costs you. The
market Is only concerned about two
things the amount offered and the
quality.
Nine out of ten farmers are looking
at the market Instead of looking at the
cost. Just as soon as the farmer pro
duces milk by the cow by the acre will
be attain the goal of true profit a low
cost of milk per 100 pounds. Then you
will see him looking around for a good
cow. He will study scientific feeding,
soli enriebmeut,, and the production of
the largest amount of the beat food
possible. The choese factory or the
creamery, or the Boston contractors
are not causes, but results. The great
question Is not what shall we pay for
maklug choese and butter, nor what
shall we get per pound, or what shad
we got for the milk, for we cannot
raised the market prti-e a penny. N. G.
