DAIRY AND CREAMERY

THE DAIRY PASTURE. How It May Bo Fortlllzed to Get the Boot Results. Fertilizer is expensive to the dairyman. By the old method of dlstribntins it there was usually enough wasted to represent a pretty penny. Then earns along a Virginia .man and invented the hand fertilizer dropper. This device consists of an odd-shaped bucket, running to a point at the bottom and having a small opening there,

Eliminate the Waste.

through Which the contents filters. A hinged valve, operated by a rod that leads to the handle of the bucket, controls the flow. The top of the rod is connected to a cross-bar, which runs under the handle of the bucket This bar is in close reach, and, when resting on the top of the bucket, the valve is open. To close the valve the operator merely extends a finger and * lifts the bar, thus shutting off the flow of the fertilizer. The valve flares at the bottom, spreading the fertilizer in a broad, fine stream. For small farms, gardens and lawns this _ device is of great convenience, and is a money-saver.

Prefit in Butter.

There is a good profit in making butter at home, if you can make a high grade product and have a good market for it The creamery pays you only for an exact pound of butter fat With two or three pounds of milk thrown In for nothing. Churning the cream at home, you save the cost of churning which the creamery charges for; you gain about 16 per cent in weight of the butter; and you gain the buttermilk. These combined gains amount to about 25 per cent, or one pound in every four. In other words; you make about 25 cents on every dollar’s worth of butter; and you gain the buttermilk. These combined gains amount to about.2s per cent., or one pound in every four. In other words, you make about 25 cents on every dollar’s worth of butter, If you make as good butter as the creamery product By the use of the hand separator it is possible to make the highest grade of butter at home, provided the cream is properly handled and churned. By the use of the separator you are not only able to make a higher grade of butter and sell It for a higher price, but you will be able to extract more cream from the milk and hence make more butter. Also, the warm sweet skim milk will have a higher food value either for human use or for animal feeding. If you keep more than three or four cows, by all means buy a separator. It will soon pay for itself.

Valuable By-Product.

Manure Is one of the by-products «f ike dairy which should be figured in, to estimating the profits. As farming Send becomes more scarce and high-priced, farmers in general are coming to realize the Importance of nuking their land as fertile and productive as possible. The large, final profit of the dairy to the man who ewns his own land is the manure by which he Is not only able to grow larger crops, hut to Increase the fertility and actual money value dr his farm.

Transmitting Milk Qualities.

The Influence of the male In transmitting milk qualities to his offspring |g a point In which dairymen give too little heed. Who is there but has not been disappointed in his heifers from hie best cows by the use of some unworthy bull, or, If he has been so for tuna** as to secure a bull of some, extra milking strain, has not found his heifers from cows good or bad excelling their dams in yield and quality of milk? Look well to the bull, for in feds choice lies success or failure.

Coloring Butter.

There Is no moral wrong In coloring winter butter judiciously. Almost anyone would prefer to eat butter that pleases the eye as well as the palate. A strain of Jersey or Guernsey blood In your cows will help you out on the coloring.

Provide Green Pood.

Be ready for the dry spell when It comes In summer and have green food for your cows by planting a special patch for them now.

Guessing Unsatisfactory.

Tho only way to accurately Judge a cow Is by weighing and testing her miin Ghees methods will prove meat , aasatlsfmotorlly.

The Flat of City Dreams

At 8 o’clock one morning the doorbell rang. It rang long and it rang loud. There was the sound of .impending trouble in it. The woman who lived there alone in the "four large, light rooms and bath” arose from the corner of the kitchen tubs, where she was eating her matutinal egg, and opened the door. “I’ve come to take out your telephone,” announced the man who stood there. If three white-garbed surgeons, armed with a folding operating table and a set of carvipg knives, had stood at her portal and made the saihe announcement the woman would have been no more surprised. ‘She swallowed the bit of toast that stuck in her throat and gasped a question. “Why?” was what she said. ' “Landlord’s orders. We’re to to take ’em out” “But I don’t want my telephone removed,” faltered the woman in much the same tone she might have used to defend her vermiform appendix. “That’s what they all say,” responded the representative of the telephone company, cheerfully unstrapping his tools and laying firm hold upon the instrument which he had located/just within the hallway.

“Oh-h-h-h! Do wait a minute < while I call up the janitor and see what this is all about. I’ve always paid my telephone tolls the very minute they were due, and I’ve always ” “That ain’t got nothing to do with it,” broke in the man-with the nippers and screwdriver; "it’s because the**phpnes don’t pay him to keep 'em in. We’ve got orders to discontinue the service in this house, and it won’t do no good complaining to the janitor. The landlord might do something about it —you can call him up If you like.” The landlord was duly called up. “They don’t pay me and they’re being discontinued,” said he.

“Very well,” replied the landlord In response to whatever the woman said “the tenants can move out as soon as they like.” The surgeons began work as soon as she had hung up the receiver. They neatly and dextrously amputated the telephone and twisted the ends of the wires into compact knots. In three and a half minutes all that was left of it was its memory and a slight discoloration of the wall paper. The woman who dwelt in the flat closed the door and sank upon her kitchen chair, not able to realize the full Import of the tragedy that had overtaken her since she had begun to eat her soft boiled egg In happy peace of mind a few minutes before. The nature of her business made It necessary to use the telephone often, the removal of which meant also the removal of the hallboy who had tended the switchboard. Who would take In her packages from the shops when she had them sent occasionally? Who would keep the envelopes of manuscripts that were too fat to go Into the letter box, or the books that came by post that formerly had been cared for by that same hallboy? How should she communicate with the Janitor, who lived two houses away, when the tank on the roof leaked? How should she live, In short, with no means of communication with the outside world and she six stories from the street and no elevator! She would move. So she pnt on her hat and went forth. At dusk she returned, more dead than alive, to be sure, and flung herself upon her dearest possession, her big dark green leather morris chair.

So there/was, after all, one flat in the city of New Yorlr that offered just exactly what she wanted. It was In a delightful neighborhood, opposite an old-fashioned park with iron gates and a key for each happy cltlzeness who lived upon its bonders. The house was kept as neat as wax, the halls were stone, the doors were fireproofed In metal overcoats. The sun streamed In every window apd there was a little balcony to sit Upon on Summer nights. The kitchen sink was one fair sweet surface of snowy porcelain; the bathroom a place of shining nickel. And in the bedroom, a six-foot mirror was upon the yrardrobe door to show the hang of skirt and set of blouse! The telephone service was all night long and the janitor’s sole object In life was to serve and please the tenants. "The rent is $26,” the janitor had told her, as she gazed delightedly about the sunny rooms. "Here are the different bells. This one is your downstair's door and here's the button you press to open It Over here is tlft. buzzer of the dumbwaiter, and this iV the bell that connects with your upstairs door. This one that, I have my linger on sounds downstairs, in me own apartment—it’s to call the jaitor when you want anything. Just put your head into the dumb waiter shaft a moment lady, and you can hear it ring when I press the button —there!” “Burr-rr-mr!” sounded the bell, and the woman awoke with a start her weary head hanging over the arm of the morris chair and the alarm dock bussing Its regular buss.

Ranking next to the sun’s rays In stimulating and germicidal effects are the rays from electric lights. The Government posts and telegraph administration controls all wireless telegraph stations in France.

RENSSELAER, IND.

The Unwelcome Pair of Mittens

The day after Christmas Josephs was busily gathering'-together cards, boxes, ribbons and tissue paper—the day-afterOrristm as accumulation — when she found a. heavy*PMteboard box, and exclaimed-with vexation as she opened it: ’ - “Here is that pair of mittens! How am I to rid myself of this Christmas gift? Nannette, can you make any suggestion?” Her friend shook her head, but after a moment's thought said: "You might give the mittens to Elmira.” “O, Nannette I She -would be Insult-ed.-Elmira Ramsey is a very stylish young colored -lady. Why, she might leave without giving notice. I am surprised at your lack of tact!" Josepha stood knitting her brows in bedding the pair of gray and garnet mittens up for the inspection of Tom, who had just entered the room. “Send the box to the Salvation Army, sis, along with that freakish hat you wore yesterdayhe ‘Commenced. But James Bieree, coming In, cried in alarm: “Don’t, Josie, don’t The mittens would be fine for golf." “So glad you spoke, James. Here, wear them, and —remember me.” “I mean for yourself—l couldn’t deprive you of them." > “But, they’re miles too big! Take them, that’S a dear.” "O, no, I beg to be excused," backing towards the door, but Tom held him, and the two girls forced the mittens into his pocket “The punishment fits the crime,” said Tom, "Say, who gave you the beauties, sis?” “Aunt /Manassa." “I’m not surprised,*’ laughed Tom, “Whatever has become of that pair of slippers she embroidered for me?” “I do not know," answered his sister. Then, for James benefit she gave a description of their grandaunt Manassa, who was living in the mountains, a dear old soul, who either knew not, or cared not, for Fashion’s changes. “Once she sent us a patchwork quilt,” said Josepha, *T>ut the worst of it is, we are at out wits’ ends to know what to send her every Christmas.” Josepha swept*the paper; ribbons, etc., into a huge paper bag, and thrust it behind .the coal vase. “Ellhira will be thatokful for this when she starts the fire in the morning,” she remarked. Then they gathered around ho piano, all except Nfcnetter*.who, busied herself with some needlework. It wUs a special piece that Bhe was anxious to finish that .-.afternoon, and. she was too engrossed that, she did not qptlce James when he pulled the mittens from his pocket and dropped them on the carpet beside her. As usual, the trio at the piano became so interested that an hour slipped by, and--another; -when- Josephexclaimed, with a shiver: “I’m a hospitable hostess, Indeed! The fire's gone out—almost—and It is cold as the grave in here.” So she called upon the maid to bring in wood, "and plenty of it, for a blazing log, and on armful of twigs are worth a ton of coal or five thousand cubic feet of gas." In a few minutes thq flames were rivaling the magic fire scene In the Valkyrie, as Tom expressed it a cheerful warmth was steading through the room, and the musical snapping and crackling of the twigs shut out the distant rattle and roar of thr trolleys: Josepha leaned her elbow on the polished, mantel while sh# read some line* from a letter that sb-had--received that morning from s friend in Italy. Joeepha was growing prettier every day, thought James; that sdfttwool dowH of deep blue exceedingly becoming, and that styV/ ! of coiffure made a., lovely frame f<her oval face./ James was ,ratlu.. jealous of the' ehap> who.wrote buc> interesting letters to her. Nannette let her work slip into h*--lap and her eyes wandered to th blazing lire; then suddenly she spra p to her feet, shrieking: “Your dress; Jtesepba—4t is on fire” James fell on his knees and -crush ed the flamea with his hands, been-, ing badly horned, when . spied the mittens and pulled the™ p so quickly and seconded James in h efforts that in short time the fire w exttngulsbed. and Joeepha was laugi... ing at her funny appearance. For the next ten minutes Jame was the recipient of-tender utter f tlons and praises for his heroism Bat when the hands were bandage he waved one In protest, saying: “I believe that Grand-Aunt Manas da's mittens did the biggest part or the work, eh, Nannette?” And; Nannette nodded. "If you bad not thrown them just within reach your hands would have fared worse James.” - “Three cheers tor the mittens!” cried Tom.

Of Interest to Women

Whelessle B—ia—a Bwlt DpiaTea Years By Two Women—Reaelt of aa Original lavestiaemt in Stocks oa a Capital of $1.25 —Travel Together AnaaaUy Through Europe.

Two Philadelphia women of German descent have built up in less ..than ten yearn, an extensive wholesale business as the result of an original investment in stocks that took a capital of exactly 11.26. > * The: Mocks are not ot the kind that are listed on exchanges or dealt in on the curb, but of the kind that women wear about their necks. One of the women was somewhat listlessly making a stock for her own adornment one day when she suddenly exclalm'T wish I could make some money.” **Wny not do for pay what you are now doing for amusement?" said a friend who sat by. • The;idea took. The young women and a cousin bought $1.26 worth of material, made several stocks and had bo difficulty; In selling them. That was the beginning of a business that has since occupied the whole time of both .partners. For a while one of them who drew pretty well was the designer of the firm. As business grew it was more economical to employ a well paid designer who could give his whole time to that part of the work. By this time tbe. partners had begun to employ girls to do the actual making of the stocks. At first the work was done by a few girls in Philadelphia. The number of employees Increased and it became good business to establish branch houses, for by this time the trade of the partners was wholesale Instead of retail Houses were established., In Baltimore, New York, Chicago, St Louis, and the-busi-ness went on growing. By this time the two partners gave themselves wholly to the management of the business and the purchase of materials. They now go twice a year to Europe to study modes and; buy materials, they have several wel|: paid designers and the persistence ot the fashion of wearing stocks has kept the business instantly active and profitable. Success also has given the partners confidence and they feel that they are not at the mercy of the capricious) Parisian milliners who set the modes of the world. If. wpmen quit wearing stocks-the-partners will turn and. take up something else. Meanwhile the partners have had a busy and happy life,, with an almost constantly increasing income and a broadening horlson; They have built for themselves a comfortable home in the upper part of Philadelphia and they see almost, every year a good deal of the European world. They had no more expectation of a business career ten years ago than a-hun-dred thousand other girls in their native city. b

Its Depressing Effect Upon a Newsu paper Woman. - “Unleaa you have great moral courage,” said she newspaper woman, “don’t ever visit a young, pretty, popular actress in her dressing room. There she sits, looking as brilliant as —oh, well—as sun and sea and flowers and sky and Jewels and rainbows end every other brilliant thing- you eaa think of, and there you .

"Her makeup, appalling as it Is at dose range, nevertheless produces an effect of fresh brilliancy, and marvelous youth. You poise on the edge of her satin, covered divan, and her mirror heartlessly portrays your commonplace features, revealing ghastly shades of pptunla and wistaria that you never dreamed you possessed in your complexion. You try to smile bravely at the redaction, but by the aide of the bewitching, footlights smile of la belle yours Is, a mere facial contortion. You give It up, stare gloomily, forget all the questions you came to ask her and finally take your departure, ehasened and subdued. "Oh, yes, maybe it’s good for you. but don't-ever do It unless you are brave. You’ll have to do a great many fine, heroic deeds afterward before you can feel that you have a right to be above theeod."—New York Press.
