Feed a Kd cow liberally with
fresh, palatable feeilliiK stuffs, Ik. not

clothes likewise,
Milk quietly, quickly and thorough
ly Throw away Into the nutter tho firm
few utrenms from each teat. This
inllk Is very watery, of very little
value and Is unite apt to Injure tho
remainder of tho milk,
Kemovo the milk promptly from tho
stable to a clean, dry room where tho
nlr Is pure and sweet,
Strain the milk throtiKh a clean,
flannel cloUi. or throuKh two or throis
thicknesses of cheesecloth.
Aerate and root the milk as soon as
It Is stratm-d, Tho cooler It Is tho

Never mix fresh milk which has

Hard Roads of Black Dirt.
At lU'ment, I'latt county, ,Mo a
road maklfiK experiment Is in pro,
ress which will be watched with much
Interest. It Is conducted muter tho di
rection of tho Btato Michway Controls
slon ii m! s Intended to demonstrato
the advanlaKO of tho Mtchly compact
ed earth as an element In tho per
manency of roads.
A stretch of Mad a half a mllo or
more In eiith was excavated to a
depth of 20 Inches tn 2 feet, and tho
i'arth thrown out at tho side. Then an
f-normous steam roller was put Into
this excavation, which Is about 20
fi-et wide, slid the bottom rolled
down as solid as It could bo made.
Then tho excavated earth was thrown
back In by degrees, drenched with
water and rolled thoroughly, and so
on till tho excavated earth was put
back. This rolIltiK process Is so rigid
that tho earth thrown out will not
nearly mil tho excavation, and to com
plete tho fllUti? of tho excavation
anipto ditches sre cut at the aides of
tho road, the earth thrown Into tho
excavation and thoroughly compacted
lylth tho roller. Tho excavation Is fill
ed up to tho height desired for tho
roadway, and thus thn road constat
of a body of earth nearly or quite 2
feet thick, compacted as firmly a It
Ih iKiHilile for a roller to compact It.
Now, the theory Is that, if this
road Is thoroughly drained, no that It
can not bo undermined by water, nnd
Is dressed down on tho top with a
drag whenever It Is wet from rains,
It will shed water on tho top atjd bo
a permunetly solid and smooth road
and one that can bo const ructed at
moderate cost,
Keeping Poultry.
In tho Southern States and other
warm regions, chickens are often pre
pared for the table as soon as killed,
a practice unknown In tho North. In
hat cane the animal Is cisiked before
he animal heat ban left the body,
nd the flavor differs somewhat from
nnt of a bird that Is kept. If a bird

Is killed, It should bo kept twelve
iurs or more before It la used. After
animal heat leaves the body a

Fish Laws Needed.
Tho new movement will make tho
entlro problem, of tlsh supply ono for
Washltgton to deal with. Kvory State
In tho I'lilon will bo asked to cede
Its rights over the principal rlvera
and lakes which pass through the ter
ritory of other states. Thus empow
ered, the United Mates Government
will bn able to enact uniform laws and
have authority to compel observance
of regulations that will prevent the
wholesale destruction of otie of the
most Important staples of our food.
Fish In the great Inland seas Is not
60 per cent of what It was. Nearly
every statu has some laws to protect
fish and there are also Canadian re
strictions, but they differ, and It Is
not possible U) secure In Michigan
an obeilleiico to an Ohio statute, Ho a
conference between state, federal and
Canadian authorities becomes neces
sary In order to map out a program
that will give thn fish a chance. It
Is hoped that by tho time the United
8tatis and Canada have their confer
ence Uncle Sam will have obtained
from all tho Interested states the
rights necessary to act for all.
Raising Alligators.
Of all the Interesting uses to which
Incubators have been put that of
hatching alligator eggs Is probably
tho moitt striking, says Popular Me
chanics. An Kugllshman at Hot
Kprlngs, Ark., Is engaged In raNIng
allocators for tho market, . The do
man for the hides to use for manufac
turing purpose Is constantly Increas
ing while parks and soon buy the live
reptiles for exhibition.
Currant Cutting.
, Take up thn currant cuttings and
plan In nursery rows, and throw a
rldgo of earth over them ho that they
are covered about 2 Inches deep. In
the spring this covering should be re
moved, so that the tip are left Just
below the surface of the ground. In
this way currants are readily propa
gated from hardwood cutting made
from well rlpened shoot of one sea
son' growth.
A Balanced Ration.
A gsd balanced ration for feeding
cattle recommended by the United
States Department of Agriculture, Is
composed of 12 pound of shelled
corn. G pounds of wheat bran 2
lMiunds linseed meat and 10 Dound

Twig Disease.
It may not be generally known but
many twig diseases of tree are
spread by pruning tool. One very
successful nurseryman dip his prun
ing knives and saws In a solution of
carbolic acid before beginning to
prune another tree, ho If any germ
are on the txl this treatment will do.
stroy them. As soon a a wound Is
made It Is a good Idea to (Uninfect
and paint It to keep out the moisture.
There Is danger of trees contracting
disease as the germs enter the
wounds and diseased place result, or
th exposed part will begin to de
cay as noon bh the moisture gets a
hold. .
Only Healthy Animal Pay.
Pure water only should be supplied
to hogM, Do not think that the hog
wl ent anything and It will be best
for hint Clean food and drink are
better and more profitable for any an
imal. Healthy animals only are prof
itable In this age.
Guinea Fowl.
It It a hard matter to distinguish
tho sex of Guinea fowls. Some author
ities claim that the, male chatters In
a quick manner, while the female
give off a sound like "Otrack," or
"Joe Pratt." or "Ituckwheat." Tho
male gives a sound similar to a
screech turned Into a laugh.
Profitable After Crop.
A man In Cooper county. Mo., sold
a load of clover seed that brought him
IH48.80. The seed were saved from
a forty-acre field after a heavy crop
of clover hay had been cut off. Clover
Is one of the best paying crops that
a farmer can raise, and U a great
benefit to tho ground.

You can make vinegar from cider
by adding two quarts of molasses to
every barrel of cider and exposing It
to the warmth and air.
A large quantity of salt Is fatal to
fowls; yet they need salt in all soft
food, the same anion tit we usually
put In for our own food,

It pays to feed the young fowl lib

not unlike calves, colt and other an
imals. Once stunted they never re
gain their vigor, not with the most
careful feeding.

A reader sends this recipe for the
horse that ha a disordered state of
skin: Powdered ginger, three ounce;
emetic tartar, two ounce; opium,
one ounce. To this add enough syrup
to make sixteen pill and give one
each evening In the oft feed.
Many horsese are Injured by going
too long without being fed. This

been followed very long. A few
weeks run to grass wlW be of great
benefit to such horse.
A tree taken from the nursery
should be handled Just a carefully'
as a cabbage plant, should be moved
to the orchard with the least possible
exposure, and carefully set. In nine
cases out of ten, where a tree give
poor results, the fault can be traced
back to the careless handling before
planting.
IT WAS HIS MOVE.
"If your move," she smiled.
He smiled back at her, his hand
hovorlng alsive the checker board.
"Really?" he asked, looking at her
In a witty sort of way.
"Huh huh," sho Roftly answered.
"Really?" he asked again.
"Huh huh," she breathed, and de
murely dropped her eyes.
Ills succes began to Intoxicate him,
and he felt that never before had he
boon In such strong form, never had
his wit been so keen or his manner so
engaging. His spirit soared, and he
looked upon his opponent with kind
ling eye.
"There!" he said, making his move
at Inst.
"There?" she asked, giving his ejac
ulation the appearance of having been
conceived in subtle humor. "There?"
"There!" he repeated.
They made eyes at each other and
she moved one of her men. He
briskly moved one of his.
"No, no," she faintly murmurmed.
"You must take me."
"Take you?"
Sh9 nodded her head without look
ing up, and the next moment he had
taken her. and two hearts beat as one.
"And you will always think of me?"
she asked, as he was bidding her good
by, after he had measured her finger
for the ring.
"How could I help It?" he asked.
"Always?" she Insisted.
"Always!" he repeated.
"Will you think of rae tonight as
you go home?"
"Every step of the way."
They parted at last
"He loves me!" she whispered to
herself. "Oh, he loves me I knew It
from tho first! Maybe this won't make
some of thera jealous; and I am the
first girl he ever loved, and It's to be
a diamond band! Oh, oh!"
'And as he walked home he truned
a t nm bled face up to the moon, halted
suddenly and addressed the night:
"When she began that funny busi
ness about taking her I ought to have
sat tight and kept my fool mouth shut;
that's what I ought to have done!"

Facts to ascertain whou meeting an
attractive young woman with whom
you may fall In love;
Is she selfish? You tan tell this In
three ways: By the manner In which
she listens to what you say; by the
way In which she accepts what you
do for her, and by the difference be
tween the way she treats you and the
way she treats others.
Is she fickle? If she talks about
light things she Isn't. Deep, she Is.
Is she extravagant? By the way
she protests against you spendinii
money on her, and always arranges
matters so that you can't help but
do It.
Is she a bad housekeeper? By the
way she dresses. If she Isn't spick

THE SOLUTION.
When you have satisfied your mind
that she is all of these things, marry
her at once. If you can get her, for
the following reasons:
First, because If she really loves
you she will change.
Second, because If you love her It
will be so much more Interesting.
Third, because you are probably
mistaken about her, anyway. Judge.
