It consists In collecting at a central station th milk from farms within a given radius, pasteurising It at atsiiit "5 degress centigrade, and then freezing it at a temperature of minus 10 degrees. The blocka of fro wn mlik are placed in stout wooden casks holding about double the vol ume of the blocks, and the extra space Is filled with sturlllr.ed milk, after which the casks are aealed her metically. as iney are perfectly mil and are j sepi cool t,y the pim k or frown milk, which melts very slowly, and as shocks of transportation are power-b-ss to churn the milk Into butter. It may thus be preserved at least twenty days, so that the Danse and Swedes ar now sending sucessfully to their neighbors ami even further wholu car goes of milk . The Salt Supply. A supply of salt available whenever the cow wants It Is necessary to main Iain tho high milk yield. Bait stimu lates the appetite and assists diges tion and assimilation, which Increase the flow of the llulds of the body. It Is a good plHn to keep rock salt under shelter where cows can get at It at will aid then f't'il loose salt once a week In such quantities as the cows will take. Isise salt may be used ex clusively If It can be sheltered from rain. Do not mix salt with feed, for frequently cows get more than they need. Cows having salt kept before them at all time in separate compart ments will nut eat too much. An over feed of salt to a cow that has been deprived of it for some time acts like a poison and produces an Irritation In the digestive organs which results In scouring, Experiments In Fowls for Egga. Tho New York Experiment Station studied the effect of different rations upon tho flavor of eggs. Those laid by hena fed with a highly nitrogenous ration were Inferior to those from hena fed with a carbonaceous ration. They had a disagreeable flavor and odor. The eggs and yolk were small er and tho keeping qualities inferior. In the test at the Massachusetts (Hatch) Experiment Station to com pare cabbage and clover rowen at the green portion of a rutlon fur laying hens It was found that the eggs pro duced on the former ration, although heavier and possessing a higher per centage of dry matter, protein and fat, were Inferior In flavor and cook ing qualities to eggs produced on the ration containing clover.

Sine traveling over the valley buy ing clover I find It one of tho most paying crops the farmer can raise with the least work, while all the time the land In growing better every year It la in clover. It would be a good plan fur every farmer to suw a pound of clover seed to tho sere with his grain every spring and fall; this will nut cost much and It will Inoculate the ground so w hen the owner wishes to suw a field of clover It will catch much bettor. I believe In five years from now there will be mure acres of clover than there are now wheat. Thla aure ly Is one of the best clover countries In the world, when red clover In some fields yield ten bushels of seed to the acre, and aislke as high as sixteen bushel per acre. A Good Whitewash. The following Is a recipe for a good whitewash which, it is said by those who have used It. will not rub off: One peck of lime aTackcd In Just en ough boiling water to cover. Strain through coarse cloth and add two quarts of fine salt dissolved In warm water, one pound of rice meal boiled In water to paste, one-quarter pound of whiting and a half a pound of glue dissolved In warm water. Mix thor oughly and let stand covered for two or three days, stirring occasionally. Heat before Oslng. Birds aa Farmera' Friends. The apple louse has five to eight generatlona In one season, and If a bird eats one egg, It. means a big re duction by the end of tho year. It is we known that birds like rat-worms, army-wornw, and similar pests, and when i. they can get them prefer them to any other fistd. The fruit destroy ed by birds is small compared with w hat is saved by them as the result of their devouring by thousands the spe cial enemies of fruit. Grinding Feed for Horses. Opinions differ concerning the ad vantages of grinding grain as feed for horses. For those out of the stable during the day and worked hard. It Is quite generally believed that all grains with the possible exception of oats, should be ground and for those at ex tremely hard work the ground grain should be mixed with chaffed hay. For Idle horses oafs or grain should not be ground, nor should hay or straw be chaffed. When animals have time to masticate their food thoroughly, grinding Is not necessary. When this Is not the caso grinding takes the place of mastication to some extent and Increases the assimilation of their fiHid. How 8heep Make Manure. If the soli in the sheep yard Is of a sticky nature so that tho freezing and thawing causes a muddy condition under foot some litter should be freely scattered about the yard frequently to absorb the water that accunmlat.es. Littering tho yard frequently Is an ex cellent means of accumulating a large Like The Bank of Oregon Qty amount of manure to restore depleted will fertility and Increase crop pro duction, ! Notea. In summer tho hogs will thrive on clover, and also make an rapid growth a with any other food. If the bote muni bo kept In pens, cut the clover Into abort letitctha and let them have, It fresh from tho meadow three times a day, If then- la no green clover, UNO clover hay, which may be cut with a buy cutter, scalded, sprinkled with l.l-I.M ...t tl.A I,. .1...

One of our exchanges, in referring ti the numerous Inquiries coming Into Its office concerning methods fur the eradication of various weeds, made the statement "that sheep will eat anything but the mullein plant and thistles." That remark Is literally true, and conveys a wealt,h of mean ing. Sheep are the best scavengers that we can have on the farm when It comes to cleaning out weeds. No difference how plentiful the sup ply of slops, hogs should have all of the pure fresh water they will drink dally. - The.men who are wllilna to nav the best prices fur the horses the pur- j chase Invarlubly want them well trained to drive and work. What results might be accomplish-1 ed ln the dairy business if our farm-1 ers would only take as good care of j their cows as they Klve their horses. I Where hogs are kept In confine-! en-Hi. ii in noticed mat they crave f'ds like charcoal, ashes, rotten wood, etc. Breeding ewes should have a little grain, but not enough to make them fut. Men who yearly go through their corn fields after the best of the early stalks have matured, gathering their seed for another year, have found In years following that they have thus frequently gained the necessary early maturity to save their crops from any thing but the abnormally early frosts. It Is molting time for old fowls and It Is a great strain on their constitu tions. They, therefore. hiut.i hsvn the best of care and attention during thla trying season. The dairyman who wishes to con fine his work to pure bred stock should select one breed and stick to it. Let the young calvea eat grain as soon as they want it. Oats and shel led corn makes excellent feed, and when fed with skimmed milk will serve to balance the young calf's ra tion and prevent scours. It Is said that commercial orchards were almost unknown in this country prior to 1800. Before that time men grew fruit mostly for home use. Texas farmers are turning large flocks of geese Into their cotton fields and report that these fowls will clean up a field of all the grass In It better than It could be done by human hands.

Great emotions always up set nie.H Ho dodged into one of the low win dows before Ruby could reach hini with the cushion she bad caught up from one of the chairs, and his mock ing laugh rang out as the girl gave a little shake to her milled plumage and started down the shady walk to the gate. The ramshackle wagon used la the rural free delivery service was Just drawing up to the block, and she climbed lightly to a place beside the stalwart young fellow, whoso glad smile showed all too plainly the pleas ure be felt "It was awfully good of you to come back this way for me," she said after ber hand had lingered an Instant ln bis muscular grip. "Dab does make such a martyr of himself when he does any thing for me, and Mr. Slocum will not let us have the horses in the harvest ing season." "I was only too glad to come back," aid Perkins simply. "You can't blame Slocum about the horses. He needs them all just now. if you come to a real farmhouse to siend the sum mer, you cauuot expect a livery outfit like those places where the biggest crop they raise is summer boarders." "It baa been such a real summer," abe said smilingly. "I bate the round of fashionable hotels. This has been Ideal." "Farkvale Is a pretty'nice place," be said reflectively. "I don't know when I ever spent a more pleasant summer myself." "You have done a very great deal to ward making things pleasant for me," aid Ruby. "I don't know when I ever saw Dabney so disobliging. If It had not been for you, I don't know what I should have done." "We are supposed to be polite," he reminded. "It's In the regulations." Ruby wondered If the regulations re quired him to bitch up a fresh rig and drive her back to the farm after ber purchases were made, as be bad done a score of times. From the first she had been attract d to tho handsome young driver of the rural delivery. He was so unlike the men sho knew ln town. She shud dered at the name of Peter Perkins. It did not match his manner or his appearance, but she had almost for- gotten his name except when her brother tensed her about It. At first 1 lxl to Ruby bad almply utilized her Inherent fllrtatlooa Inatluct, tat later ahe bad eotue to realize that abe loved the mall driver, and at time the knowledge frightened ber.

"l was hero only for the summer," be explained. "1 must go back home t -i suppose you win curry pieasaui f16? lon ,? coan-jSold try," she said. "1 know that 1 shall always remember this summer most pleasantly.' "I want to take away something else," he said slowly. Ruby turned ber face away and let ber gaze wander over the fragrant flowering buckwheat. I want to take with me your promise that some day I may come for you," be went on "that some day I may come and claim you for my bride. May I, dearr Gently Ruby drew from his grasp the hand be bad seized. Her heart cried "Yes," but there came into her mental vision the prospect of her am bitious mother. Mrs. Forbusb would never consent to their union, and Mrs. Forbush could make life very unpleas ant when she elected. "I am sorry," she said softly, "but I cannot answer you as you want me to. I shall always remember most pleas antly this happy summer. Please do not ask more of me." "You do not love me?' he demanded bluntly. "I do like you," abe said. "I I can not say more." Peter flicked his horse with his whip, and the patient animal Jogged on. He puke no more of bis love, and Ruby waa grateful to him. She went about ber shopping while Peter drove over to the postofflce to reiiort When he returned to meet ber It was with a livery rig. "I cannot use the delivery horse now," be explained. "I am no longer working for tbucoutractor. Shall we go home by the river road?" Her eyes made ansv.er. The river road was the longest aud prettiest, and he would not deny herself this last trlj) with the man she loved. Tomor row he must pass out of her life. To- niftht she wished oa'y that the might drive on and ou far luto the soft sum mer night But Peter kept the horse at a trot. and presently they were at the farm. lie was a favorite with Mrs. Slocum and she insisted that he come ln and take supiier with them. He lingered In the gloom of the trees until the moon was high, but at last he bad to go. "I want to say goodby to you here undtr the trees," he said as he rose to his feet "After I have harnessed up the whole family will come out I am ony you could not say 'Yes, dear, but I do not blame you, and I shall always love you and cherish the memory of thla summer." He bent over her and lightly brash ad ber forehead with his Hps. Then he strode off toward the barn, and pres ently she beard the grating of the bug gy wheels upon the graveled walk. There was the sound of voices aa he took farewell of the group on the back porch, aud then the carriage came down the drive and turned Into the road. For a moment the world seemed to stand still for Ruby; then she leaped from the hammock and went flying down the dusty road after the buggy. "Peter! Teter!" she caUed softly. "Come back. It was all a mistake. I do love you, and I will marry you, no matter what mother says." In an Instant be had sprung from the buggy and had ber ln bis arms. Dab ney came running up. "I waut to be the first to congratu late you, old man," be said as he grasp ed Peter's hand. "I knew you'd win, even if sis does hate all the men I know." "All the men you knowP' gasped Ruby. "This is Pennington, Fete Penning ton," he explained, "my roommate at college. He took the Job to meet you without the disadvantage of my In dorsement." "I would have loved him anyhow," declared Ruby stoutly, "millionaire or R. F. D. clerk, as you like." When You Are Bilious. The only salvation for the person with a torpid liver, according to What to Eat la through a changed system of dietecties, combined with exercise ln the outdoor air, calisthenics and deep breathing. The person with a bad liver should habitually practice deep and long breathing, filling the lunga. at each Inhalation. The curative dietary must consist principally of nerve or brain food, Including fish and a reason able amount of beef, with generous quantities of cereal foods and the fruits that are rich ln acids. In warm weather It Is best to abstain from milk altogether. Butter and vegeta ble fats, olive oil. boiled rice, baked apples, baked potatoes, graham or whole wheat bread, soft boiled eggs, all constitute a safe and nourishing diet for the bilious person.
