Rnmm reura nco the Wisconsin Agri cultural experiment station conducted a test with a view to deterniininK uie rMiitta to lie obtained from protecting cows from files during the late sum mer months. One bunch of aeven cows was confined durlug the daytime In a comfortable atnble provided wltb screen doors and windows, wniie n second bunch waa confined In a small lot provided with ahuudance of shade. Both lots were pastured at night and rrcivd the same kind and amount of jtraln feed, together with ail the freshly cut sorghum ana green corn thnt they would eat up clean during the day. While the cowa confined in the stable ate considerably more green corn and sorghum, they lost more In live weight during the four weeks or the experiment than did the cowa left out of doors. During the first two wekn of the experiment the cows Kept in the stable produced 50.7 pounds of milk less than during the two weens nTwiruis while the cows not confined showed a decrease of only 40.4 pounds. The decrease In butter rat was .i nonnrt for the stabled cows aad 218 nnnnJ. tnr thnSA lUnnlniT At larKC. A consideration of the results or we iem ones not seem to ahow as great an ei feet on milk flow from the fly nuisance as Is generally supposed. HOW IT GETS A FOOTHOLD, Than Is hardlv town In the north central states but has alloys or vacant lots on which grow thrifty pntcnes oi that worst of all agricultural pests, quack grass. The grass is in full head florins' th latter cart of June and early July. Unless it Is recognized and precautions taken tne seea is iw ly to be scattered on adjoining gardens or fed. thrown on the manure Tlle and put on gardens or plowed land. When once the seed is In the soil the mischief is done, and ten stitches will be required to eradicate It where one would have sufficed to prevent Its being scattered on tbe land. Such patches in town and along the road sides should be spotted and pains taken not only to keep them from go ing to seed, but to kill the plants themselves. Such small patches may be easily disposed of by covering with tar paper for sixty days and putting earth around the edges, bo as to keep out the light and air.

The re Ii yuestluu Is the busb varluty and ta never covered. Time was when most any kind of milking and handling of the milk Id the Ublo were put up with provided tbe crenm was handled properly In the dairy. It's different now. there being a full realization of tbt fact that dirt or od'tn which get Into the milk In the tahle cannot lw erudlcated In tho churning or process of buttcrmaklng. Itcport from one province of Japan are to the effect that there Is at pres ent growing liefore a temple of Itnddha In one of Its cltia a pine tree which Is said to I 1.20 years old. The tree was planted lu front of the pagoda by a renlotiH devotee ns n sort of wrpetiinl rr. will offering, la all the nucc-ed- Ins centuries the conifer baa beeu carefully tended. The best way to fight tbe knot or am!. rm wtiloh sometimes gets a foothold la the lawn In the Bummer months Is to water the lawn frequently If rainfall Is Insufficient, thus keeping the lawn grass In a thrifty condition, and cut quite often. Being a hot ti.i. iimn rooted irrass. the crab grans flourishes under conditions In which the blue grass will remain at a standstill. a fsmllv of blackblrda which havs nested In tbe writer's yard this season, the location of the nest not being dis covered until after tbe young were nearly ready to fly. have broken up a robin's and a mourning dove's nest and would have treated a catbird's nest similarly had not timely assist ance been rendered. The blackbird and bluejay are pirates and should be treated as such. There are quite a lot of pretty good girls from many points of view who seem to overlook the fact that .when a young fellow looks around for wife he directs his attention to the one who has sunshine in her heart and deftness of hand rather than artificial blushes or powder on her cheeks. There is no deception which is so crude and raw and ill concealed as this. A fool, running, can spot it at a glance. THE DIGNITY OF COMMON TOIL. Real worth in living consists not so much in doing some great work or per forming some great service, but doing the little things and common duties in a noble and faithful way. The house wife who performs her routine duties faithfully and cheerfully, the woman who washes clothes the best she knows how and the man who digs ditches or saws wood, together with the multitude of workers in shop or factory, perform Just as valuable a service for their fel lows as others who may make the laws or administer them, teach school or preach the gospeL A doctrine that needs extensive preaching today is that which upholds the dignity and sacred ness of the common toll of life of what ever character. Only on such a basis is life endurable and can it be consid ered worth the living, for it is the com mon work of life that most of tit are destined to perform. Next year's raspberry patch will be in a great deal better shape and pro duce much more fruit if the tips of this year's new shoots are snipped off when they have reached the desired height, from three to four feet This treatment not only makes them less spindly, but greatly increases the fruit bearing shoots for next year. If al lowed to grow In their own way some of the black varieties, especially the Older, will attain a length of ten to twelve feet. The habits of thought and work that a boy acquires at from ten to fourteen years are quite likely to be largely de termining and molding factors in all his after life. On this occasion it is well for the parents to give wise direc tion In these formative years and for tho boy to take himself in hand with a view to developing his powers and tal ents in the best possible ways. The boy that runs loose and wild during these years without restraint of any kind cannot be expected to develop into a good man any more than a colt similarly handled can be expected to make a tractable and valuable horse. A. friend who sowed rye last fall ou a plot of ground several acres from which he took a crop of potatoes the latter part of September tells us that, while he pastured this piece well Into the winter and turned his cows on It early last spring and did not take them off until the 1st of May, the stand of the cereal is so heavy and the Heads filling so well that he anticipates a yield of close to thirty bushew per acre. In addition to furnishing a good bite for his stock when green food was scarce, the putting of the rye on the piece of ground has resulted In keep ing it very free from weeds. After the rye Is cut he will be able to grow a crop of buckwheat, millet or turnips. We believe that rye might be used a great deal more than it is in the above manner and the weed nuisance abated considerably as a result. 3 .1 ft i M In Case of Accident- You shnulJ tisc bolik ol purs cilJ vwuiLry in ttio hHJc. t rse you esa rily upon.
