Tuduy people went about thinly-clad,
fomaking wraps, and in homes and
office all heat was shut off and win-
lows and door thrown oien to the
limit. Physicians say the unseasona
ble weather will result in much illness,
as it will plant the germs of pneumo
nia and kindred ailments.
Continued warm southerly winds are
resiwnaible fr the peculiar conditions
here. Kain is predicted for tomorrow,
fter which it will become colder. le-
ciilcdly warmer weather prevails
throughout the middle west, and the
snow is disappearing everywhere. One
cculiarity of the unusual weather is
the s ggy nature or the atmosphere,

cow to four of the population. .The
fact that there hit been an Increase
per ciipllu of the consumption of milk
and a decrease of cow ier capita of
the population Indlente that there baa
been an Improvement In the quality of
tha dairy cow of the country.
In the decade of 1S! to 1100 the
average production of every dairy cow
bowed flu InrreiiM" of 1,000 pound of
milk, or a commercial gain of $211,
000,000. Yet with till Improvement ad
mitted, there are many dulrlea thnt are
being operated at a loss. The life of a
dairy cow I eatlmnted at seven years
and her annual depreciation represents
one-seventh of her full value, which Is
t nk en Into consideration In computing
the profits of the herd. If the dairy
man would ascertain If his herd la pay
ing a profit ho needs to clinriee for the
help to operate It, the cost of the
feed, the Interest on the Investment aud
the normal depreciation of the value
of the cows. All these Item enter Into
fixed ojieratlng charge and need to be
deducted from the gross recelpU of the
dairy before profit enn be computed.
The receipts of tho dairy should not
only pay the ocrittliiK exiienaes and
fixed charge, but also leave a liberal
balance for profit.

Mltlrt for Lata Cropa.
Millet as a late crop to plant In case
of the failure of the corn crop or fail
ure to get corn planted at all. Is rec
ommended by the Ohio station. The
earlier sorts can be seeded through
July, and make fair fields. Hay Is the
most common use made of the crop,
and for this It compares favorably with
timothy, both In composition and di
gestibility. It la good feed for cattle,
horses and sheep, but when overripe
should not lie fed to horses exclusively,
as It affects the kidneys. Millet Is also
grown for pasture seed, and even for
silage. As a soil cleaner, It Is also al
most equal to a summer fallow.
tirriua Mod of Preaervlnsi Milk.
A German latent secltlcatlon de
scribes a process for preserving milk
by removing all dissolved oxygon hy
means of the addition of a small quan
tity of ferrous carbonate. The process
Is based ou the fuct that freshly-precipitated
ferrous carbonate In the pres
ence of oxygon Immediately asslmllat.i
oxygen and evolves an equivalent quan
tity of carbon dioxide. One part of
ferrous carbonate Is sutllcient for ISO,
000 parts of milk, and the propertlet
of the milk are not altered lu any way
by the addition, which should bo made
before the uillk Is boiled.
Cribbing Cora,
The corn crib should bo natrovr and
slatted ou the sides nnd ends, so that
a free circulation of air Is possible lu
all directions. Some farmers place hol
low crates In the cribs as they are
tilled, so that there will be no heat
lug or spoiling In the center of the
mass. Heating destroys tho corn germ.
Miilaaaea Cake,
Into two-thirds of a cup of molasses
stir a tablespooufut of melted butter,
two-third of a cup of coffee, a half-
cup of sugar, one beaten egg, one and
a half teasiKKiiifuis of soda dissolved
in a i!iuii-r.HH.'iiiui 01 uoi water, huu
one aud one-half cups of flour. Mis
well and bake lu a loaf tin.
Ralalua Variety.
Diversified farming does not atop at
crop growth from tho soil, but should
include a diversity of live stock. Some
good cattle, a few good, capacious brood
mares, soino good breeding hogs, a few
or moro sheep, goats and fowls of di
verse sorts should be found nn every
farm, for they do not Interfere or con
flict with each other.
