DAIRYING i;: EUROPE First Essential Is Elimination of "Star Boarders." "V Country Has Natural Advantages for Production of Dairy Products Enjoyed by United States Ef ficient Cows Required. It is the history of the world that it Is not the largest nations that have done the really great things. In the dairy world it has remained for the little countries of Denmark, llolland and Scotland to achieve the most eco nomical production of high-grade dairy products. The production of clean milk Is what every American dairyman must come to before we can hope to attain for our dairy prod ucts the high standard of excellence so conspicuous In the dairy products of the above countries. In general. Europeoan dairymen have learned most thoroughly that to make money In dairying the first es sential is to eliminate every "star boarder" that pulls down the profits, and to have a good herd, a herd in which every individual cow Is an eco nomical producer of a high order. The American dairyman should wake up to the full realization of his natural advantages in the cheap feed and good markets, and go at dairying in earnest, realizing that it requires brains, study and common sense to succeed. He should fit up convenient, substantial and permanent buildings, and not shift from one phase of agri culture to another, but stay at dairy ing for a lifetime. In no country does everything give place to dairying as it does In Denmark and Holland. There Is no dairy country, though the land may be worth $1,000 an acre, Cow Stable In Scotland Double Stalls Are Divided by Glazed Tile Parti tlons The Floor Is Paved With Brick and Is Scrubbed Dally. that has the natural advantages for the production of dairy products enjoyed by the United States. None of tne intensive dairy countries of Eu rope can produce and creserve in good condition for winter feeding of dairy cows the amount of digestible nutrients per acre that can be se cured In our own country with corn silage and alfalfa hay. One of the first thlnes that attracts the attention of the traveler in Hol land Is the large number of fine black and white cattle. Everywhere, as far as the eye can reach.- the landscarje was1 dotted with fine cowb. A more beautiful dairy scene could scarcely be Imagined. History tell's us that for 2,000 years Holland has been famed for Its cattle. HolBtein-Preisians are the cows of that section, and during the past 40 years they have spread so ran- idly to America that at present this breed Is found in almost every state In the Union. Successful dairying denends lanrelv upon efficient cows, keeping them comfortably at all times by properly supplying their wants, and treating them kindly. In this particular the Dutch cannot be excelled. Holland is often called the cows' paradise, and It well deserves the name. The history of the rise of d&Irvlnir in Denmark Is one of the most Inter esting and instructive chapters in agri culture. To show the marvelous re cent development In Danish dairying It Is only necessary to state that the receipts from cows at the Dresent time are more than 17 times what they GOOD NOTES OF DAIRY FARM Excellent Plan to Have Two Sets of Milk Utensils, Always Keeping Cans Sweet and Clean. Powdered borax used occasionally In place of soap will keep the milk cans sweet 'and clean.. It is a good plan to have two sets Df milk utensils. Rinse with clear hot water In which there is a handful of salt Use no soap, and let the uten ills used for the night's milk have the sun and air during the day, and those used for the morning's milk leave the air at night Every dairy barn should be built on high ground so that the water will run away from It instead of toward It and the yard should be thoroughly Iralned with tiling. Every calf intended for the dairy should have Its horns eliminated by the use of caustic when a week old. Not one cow In 60 that Is confined to the dairy barn gets as much water as the needs. We cannot expect the separator to rork smoothly and easily unless all were 30 years ago. From the million dairy cows of Denmark is exported 200,000,000 pounds of butter a year, worth $44,000,000. The Danes do not have as good a climate or soil as is enjoyed In many parts of our own country. They have small patches of different crops and cannot take advantage of four-horse teams, large implements and machin ery as we can. They cut much grain by hand and many of their methods are laborious. The Important question, then, is: How can the Danes affcrd to import Cow stable In Holland. Note ; the raised platform and d&uble cow stall with windows In front. and feed our corn, as he does, and sell his butter In competition with us. He does this by being a close student of all the principles of dairying. He understands that dairying requires brains, thought and skill; that he must have efficient cows, economically fed and well cared for. There muBt be great opportunities ahead of the American dairyman if Denmark can profitably feed our grain and main tain through dairy exports, her place as one of the most thrifty nations of the world. PREPARING FOR THE WINTER Thoroughly Clean and Disinfect Poul try Houses Before Cold Weather Flock Should Be Culled. The poultry houses should be thor oughly cleaned and disinfected and all old boards or rubbish that may be lying around should be removed, writes a Kentucky man In Farm and Home. Examine the houses and, if necessary, repair the roof. Then apply a liberal coat of whitewash Inside and outside and to the nest boxes and perches. When the chickens are brought in from the range to be housed they should be rigidly culled, discarding ev ery specimen that is not normally de veloped or that is overgrown, under sized, or defective in any way. The comb Is one of the best indexes of a fowl's health, and If the pullets have bright red combs well developed, with proper care they are liable to be on the Job as egg producers during the winter. Changing the birds from free range to winter quarters very often affects the health of some, and for this reason It becomes necessary to make a Becond culling in about two weeks.

The uneven running of separators is the cause of imperfect separation. Keep Constant Watch. Kwp a sharp lookout for vermin. No stock can do their best where these pests appear. Spraying In the winter is not always convenient, though a dash of kerosene about the stalls will help materially in keeping the pests down. If applied with a fine sprayer It soon evaporates, yet not until Its mission is filled. Insect pow der rubbed into the hair does not In convenience the stock and if fresh it Is Bure death to mites. But unless it Is strong enough to "make you sneeze" make up your mind you have been humbugged. Butter or Cream. For the economical production of butter or cream (or of very rich milk that is suitable for a fancy trade) It Is best to keep Jerseys or Guernseys. When chickens have bred disease, look out for large lice. yly jr . . ' ' a ' " " I SHIVERED THE RECORD ONE. CONSOLATION LEFT TO VIC TIMIZED PEDESTRIAN. Effort Cost Him Much, However, and It Was Without Great Pleasure That He Learned He Had Been "Fooled, B'Gosh." It wam a tvniral olrt-faehloned coun try atom. Tha rani native that goes with such a place was seated on a less country style. Another of the same vintage was engaging mm ii 11 a .all Vim nKkv WtilalrArfl In A heat ed argument on election. The second man in tne course or nia remarks said "ha was nleh onto eighty Tears old" referring with pride to his war record. (He was musterea out ai Keadviiie.) "What time does the next train leave here for Boston " briskly In quired the writer. "Oh, about two hours or more they'll be one," said Gray Whiskers. The writer lost some of hie brisk manner and expressed discontent and a few other things. At this point the veteran volun teered the Information that a train stopped at Sharon Junction in an nour and the writer might walk there and wait for it. "Holy smoke." howled the writer. "you expect me to walk four miles in an hour? Couldn't do It" "Huh. four mile 'a nothin': I've walked It in three-quarters of an hour an' I'm eighty years old," boasted the veteran. "Yes. an' I seen him do it and 111 bet ye he kin do it again," butted in Gray Whiskers. Well, various remarks were nasspd and the writer offered to cover all bets, but there was nothing doing. It was two o'clock sharp when the writer left for the long Journey down the track; the train was due at Sharon Heights about three or a little after. "I wonder if that old rube could make It," he pondered as he skipped the ties. "There's Edward Pavson Weston, he was an old has-been. I reckon I'll try to make a little record myself." The day was fairly cool: a little of the sun lent its rays to warm the scene. The . sky was blue and walk ing fairly good. One mile post after another flashed by. Feverishly the writer gazed at his watch; he was well inside the limit The last mile post waa dancing toward him. but what a difference in the atmosphere. He was stifled with the heat Hat in hand and coat over arm he sped onward as U the devils were at his heels. At last the Journey was ended. Hi fell into a chair at the station and looked at his watch once more. The veteran's record was smashed to atoms, done In 35 mlnatee, and the station agent there to prove It He would hand it to those rubes. The fact that his collar was a shnnoiPRa pulp and his clothes wringing wet with me strenuous enort was nothing. The record was broken. That was enough. A few weeks passed and the Inci dent was forgotten. Lately, however, the writer had occasion to visit Fox. boro again. He went to the general store ana sought Gray Whiskers and the veteran. The proprietor was the only one present Triumnhnntiv tha writer told how speedily he had cov- erea mose iour miles. The proprietor blew out a tptppMi of smoke; "an you toqk any stock In me iaiK or tnose two fellers? Why, they never walked more than 100 yarde from this here store In years," he said. "An that old veteran he's all bunged up with rheumatism. I guess ye were fooled b'gosh." The writer took a look at the time table; he had an hour to wait, but he took Gray Whiskers' place on the cracker box and did not try to break any more records. Pearls of Scotland.

Joe were walking along a country road one hot day In July and became very thirsty, but could not find any water. Coming at last to a farmer's bouse, and noticing a woman standing In the door, they went up to her and requested a drink of water. She said: "We haven t had any rain for three weeks and the well is dry." "Then please give us a drink of milk." The woman replied that the milk was all taken to market but added that she had some buttermilk stored away and would give the thirsty trav elers a drink of it. After quenching their thirst with buttermilk they offered to pay the kind woman for it but she refused the money, saying: "I was going to give it to the pigs, anyway." Pitts burg Chronicle-Telegraph. Had No Regrets. Mr. Cohen Is the owner of several apartment houses which represent the fruit of many years of toil In the shop, of careful business methods as a man ufacturer and of strict frugality. His first Job In this country, as a Janitor, he lost after a few days because he could not read nor write. Recently the president of a bank where he does business said to him: "What a pity it is, Mr. Cohen, that you never learned to read and write. There is no telling what a man with your natural business talent might have accomplished." "I know that," he answered prompt ly. "If I could read and write I would be yet today the Janitor."
