Too much emphasis cannot be placed on the necessity for having plenty of absorbent bedding in all stables for two reasons, namely, to promote the comfort of the animals and to save the manure, especially the liquid excre ment, which is the most valuable part of it The need of clean, dry, abundant bedding must be generally known theo retically, although much neglected In practice. The value of liquid manure is, however, a thing people in general are very slow to learn or to do any thing about. Among the best absorb ents may be mentioned sawdust, straw, and land plaster, Sawdust, an excellent fertilizer in itself, retards the decompo sition of the manure, but rots quickly when mixed with It. Where it is cheap and accessible, nothing better can be had. As most farmers have more straw than can possibly be used for feeding purposes, this is a most common and on the whole a most excellent bedding. Land plaster, where obtainable, is an excellent absorbent for stables, especi ally to hold the excessive ammonia im terse stables. Prairie Farmer. A FEW BUTTER BRIEFS. Butter should be worked as little as possible; Just enough to make It com pact and expel the superfluous mois ture. There is no apparatus that can get more butter out of the milk than the cow put into it But care must be taken to get all the cow puts in. In the dairy only the purest salt should be used. Salt that will not dis solve readily in water is unfit for but ter. The quantity is a matter of taste and the better plan is to consult the taste of the consumer. Generally from three-fivurths to one ounce per pound is used. . . i When the cream is made too warm before it goes into the ehnrn in one sense the globules are cooked together, causing the casing to be attached, rather than the globules, and as the yellow of the butter is obscured by this envelope of casing the butter comes white and soft Peaches in Cold Storage. The Hartford Pay Spring says that an experiment which has been success fully conducted this season by a num ber of South Haven fruit growers is the placing of peacher and pears in cold storage. Early in October, 1903, several bushels of peaches and pears were carefully picked, sorted and each piece of fruit wrapped in tissue paper; this was then wrapped in white print paper and placed on a shelf in cold storage. January 1 the fruit was taken out and placed on the local market in as good condition and finely flavored as though freshly picked. The price thus obtained was nearly three times that which the fmlt from the same trees sold for at the time it was put in cold storage. Extracted vs. Comb Honey. Here in the east the comb honey in attractive shape commands a far larg er call than the extracted does and more so during the last few years. The light weight foundation, pure and nearly transparent, has done away witn the "hobo" of tough center comb which the consumer kicked on, ' What looks more pleasing than a fine cake of comb honev, well filled ? On the other hand extracted honey cannot be put on table in as good form, though it be put np an packages to suit the eye. The consumer Jras such a fear of adulterated goods ithat he pre fers the comb honey whicfh:he knows is pure. Geo. H. Townsend, "in Ohio Farmer. Fortdoo Policeman You murdered your sis ter!

Miles has been developing a scheme whereby the army when not in service, which is most of the time, may us relieved of the monotony of a life with nothing to do but eat and sleep, and at same time be of some practical use to the country. He proposes that they be supplied with modern road machinery and set to improving the roads of the country. There is much good hard sense in this proposition. There has recently been considerable effort made to restore to the soldier the privileges of the can teen on the ground that in his enforced idleness there were other and worse evils, which were liable to take posses sion of his time when the canteen was refused him. We believe the DroDOsl- tion to give him something to do will re lieve the monotony of his position in a way that will be far better for him and for the country in general, and certainly more to the credit of the nation. So long as these regiments must be main tained at public expense, why not have them employ their time In a way that would be for their good and of practical value to the general public. While our army is vastly smaller than that main tained by most other countries of simi lar proportions and the expense of main taining it is consequently less burden some, yet if it can be employed at some useful , occupation this burden will be still farther reduced. Every little helps in cutting down the expenses, and with the large and increasing demands for public improvements along various lines all over the country. It Is certainly ad visable to adopt economic changes wherever practical. Prairie Farmer. , Advance In Land Values. The advance in land values has been very marked during the past six years. Good agricultural lands are steadily in creasing in price, and there is no pros pect of a , reduction or decline. Our population increases steadily, while there can never be any more acres of land on the earth's surface than at present. It annually requires more of farm products to feed the Increasing population, and prices must therefore rule higher and higher and farming become more and more Intensified and remunerative. Midland Farmer. Save Tour Horse Hides. It has occurred to us that farmers and horse dealers are not generally aware of the fact that horse hides, whether taken off from slaughtered horses or those which have died by disease or per ished from other causes, have market value. Farmers should not allow the hides of their fallen stock to go to waste. Fair-sized- horse hides, free of cut holes and other blemishes, are now bringing from 3 to 3.25 in Milwaukee.
