Poor Business.

The man who keeps poor cows and produces butter of the quality used to keep the “renovators” running Is conducting a business on a par with the fellow who said his land was “too blamed poor to raise a fuss on.”— Farmers Advocate.

Grading Up Swine.

Swine can be graded up quicker than any other farm stock. A full blood male In a short time will stamp his characteristics upon the herd, and his Influence will be felt from the very start.

The Profitable Sheep.

There are few farms upon which sheep cannot be kept with advantage and profit Sheep will live largely on what may be called the odd growths of the farm.

The Cheapest Cow.

It Is cheaper to feed one good dairy cow than to feed two poor cows, and the profit Is many times larger In the former case and the labor much less.— Hoard’s Dairyman.

The Bone Cutter.

The most profitable device around the poultry yard Is a bone cutter. It Increases the eggs and saves in the grain bill.

Profitable Use of Milk.

Pork is a profitable appendage to a dairy. There is no other way in which waste milk could so profitably be disposed of.

WAYS OF THE MOOSE

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NOBLEST OF ALL WILD ANIMALS. The Largest of the Deer Family, LlrInK or Kxtlnct-rThe Aluskan Bull Moose Have the Greatest Antlers. The Cow and Her Ungainly Calf.

Now and then in wanderings through the mountain and forest one comes up-

on a gigantic blackish brown deer which by reason of the great length of its yellowish gray legs stands higher than a tall horse. It is clothed in coarse, bristly hair, longest on the neck and shoulders, and it has a rather ugly overhanging nose which distinguishes it at once from all other kinds of deer. From the throat of the male hangs a long hair covered appendage known as the "bell,” and in the fall and winter he lias also a pair of widespreading antlers, very heavy and much flattened 6r “pinmated.” lie stalks the forest through undergrowth and over fallen trunks like n king of giants, or, if alarmed, he speeds away at an amazingly swift swinging trot and with a crashing which resembles the sound of falling trees. Such is the moose, the largest of all deer, living or extinct. The moose is chiefly an animal of the northern woods, the southern limit of its range being the head of Green river, Warning. It is also found in northern Maine, New Brunswick, southern Canada, Idaho, British Columbia, Alberta, Athabasca, Yukon and Alaska. It is strictly a dweller of the forest, seldom venturing to treeless plains. It lives for the mpst part by browsing on the leaves, twigs and bark of trees, particularly young trees. In order to reach the tops of tall saplings the moose rears up against them, straddling them with his long legs and literally riding them down. He is fondest of birch, hemlock, aider, aspen, willow and maple. He also eats mosses and lichens.

Iu May the “cow,” as the female moose is called, gives birth to a long legged, ungainly, tawny colored calf, to protect which the mother will fight any woodland creature to the death. She has no antlers, but she can use her great sharp hoofs with the skill of a prize fighter and has been known to pound to death a large blnck bear and fairly trample his body into the ground. The calf stays with its mother for two or three years, or until he wanders off to seek a mate for himself. One day last summer I came suddenly upon a cow moose standing knee deep in a shallow pond, while from beneath her neck her grotesque looking calf peered out at me with eyes wide open, as If with astonishment. I hurried home and returned with a camera, but when I reached the spot they were gone.

Like all American deer, the “bull” moose sheds and renews his antlers every year. They become full grown, hard afad sharp about the Ist of October, the beginning of the breeding season. At this time of year the bulls are very savage and not only fight furiously among themselves, but are apt to attack anything or anybody who comes in their way. The call of the bull is a loug drawn bawl with several loud grunts at the end. If there is a cow within hearing she will answer with a low cry, and the bull will come forward to meet her. Hunters often take advantage of this fact and attract the bull by an imitation of the call of the cow, executed on a cone shaped horn made of birch bark. Lying concealed on the bank of a lake or stream, they give out the call, and when the bull comes witliiu range they shoot him. But as this trick is usually played at night and as the hull sometimes never gives any warning of his coming until lie is almost on the spot the sport is apt to be dangerous. The bull at such a time Is iu no mood to be trifled with, and unless the hunter is cool headed and a good shot the moose is not only willing but very able to kill him and a dozen like him if they happen to he on the spot.

Probably the largest moose of which there is reliable record was shot by Carl Rungius, the animal painter, in New Brunswick in 1901. This great beast stood seven feet high at the shoulders, and the length of its head and body together was nine feet seven inches. The Alaskan moose have the largest antlers, aud one pair from an animal shot on the Ivenai peninsula has a spread of seventy-eight and a half Inches and hns thirty-four points. With the dry skull to which they are attached these antlers weigh ninetythree and a quarter pounds, a weight which nothing but an animal of gigantic strength could carry at top speed over the roughest ground and through thickly wooded country. In the winter, when the snow is deep, the moose, sometimes several families together, will gather In a certain section of woodland and be breaking out paths for themselves over a space of perhaps several acres from what is known as a “yard,” where, if not disturbed. they may stay for weeks together. But the moose is able to travel well at all seasons, and even in deep snow his long legs enable him to move at a pace which astonishes any hunter who tries to run him down on snowshoes. A wild, free life is the only one on which a moose can live and thrive. In captivity it is much less nervous than most deer and is disposed to be gentle and affectionate. But. as a nxle, it will live but a short time, even though it gets t 4% same food which it hail In Its native woods. It may appear to relish Its food, but It will grow to no great size and In a abort time will probably die of Inflammation of the stomach. This Is one of the noblest wild animals In the world, and It should be given adequate protection throughout Its range.—Bangor Commercial.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Choatlng Flili and Meat. The color and odor of meat are to be relied on as safe guides to the buyer. Young beef Is always bright red, the fat creamy white, and when fresh the meat smells fresh, in contradistinction to the rancid odor of long kept meat. Veal and lamb should have a deep pink tint and if killed when too young may readily lie recognized by the white appearance and lack of firmness. Fresh fish is easily recognized. The blood should he bright red and the gills the same color. If they are a brownish tint the fish lias been too long out of water. Besides this, a fresli flsli has a firm, dry, shiny appearance. Young mutton is a paler color than beef, more rosy in tone and should not have a “woolly” smell, which belongs to old mutton. The old test for fowls was to see whether the breastbone was pliable and tiiat the wings where they Join the body Avere soft and cartilaginous. 'Hie color should be a creamy white, and if it stands this test, be it chicken or turkey, it Is sure to be tender. Old fowls are dark and their fat yellow, and fowls too long on lee have an uncanny, bluish tinge.

Kidney Slew. Soak two beef kidneys in cold salt water for an hour. Then with a very sharp knife slice in even pieces, taking care to reject all gristle and fat. Throw as fast as cut into cold water. Wash well and put in a saucepan, allowing a pint of water to eacli kidney. Slice two small onions and add to the contents of the saucepan, together with two bay leaves, two stalks of celery and two sprigs of parsley. Let it come to a boil and skim. Then push back where the water will simply simmer for three hours or until the kidneys are tender. Drain and throw away the water, which will he too strong to use. If ready to use the kidneys, pour on just a little boiling water, simmer a few moments, add milk, then thicken with flour and season well with pepper, butter and more salt if necessary. Serve very hot with baked potatoes.

An Old Friend In New Guise. A genius has invented a dustpan which we would not recognize so entirely different is it from that which we have known from childhood. He has left no feature by which to recall the oid friend. In the first place, the new dustpan has a long handle, and this has the great advantage that It may be manipulated without stooping.

LONG HANDLED DUSTPAN.

Another innovation in the construction of the iknv dustpan is that it is supplied with a circular top in two sections. When the dust has been swept into its capacious interior the weight of the contents will cause the box to close as the device is raised to be put away or carried to another place for further duty.

Barley Water. A favorite as well as nourishing drink for invalids is barley water. To prepare it place one quart of water in a saucepan over the fire. Wash well two ounces of pearl barley and throw into the water. Bring it to the boiling point, then add lemon and sugar to suit the taste. Draw the pan to the back of the fire and simmer geutly two hours. Strain and cover until cold.

Scalloped Fish.

Cut uncooked fresh fish into small pieces free from bone and season with salt and pepper. Fill a buttered baking dish three-fourths full with the prepared fish, cover with hot, sweet milk, sprinkle with breadcrumbs and bake in a moderate oven until the fish Is tender and the crumbs are brown.

To Core Bunion*.

To care bunions in winter wear two pairs of warm stockings and what is called the barefoot shoe or sandal. The barefoot shoe or sandal must fit exactly, so that there will not be the slightest pressure on the afflicted toe joint. Sea salt baths, warm ones, help to cure and sdothe the feet.

Pumpkin Bread.

Set the sponge as for white bread and when light add about one-fourth of Its bulk of pumpkin that has been stewed down dry and rubbed through a sieve; then add one ounce of butter and a little salt to it. Kqgad as usual and let rise again and finish as ordinary bread.

Air the Home,

Ten minutes’ airing of a house three times a day after each meal would be sufficient to exorcise the ghosts of departed dinners and give every room freshness and sweetness.

Drying the Laundry.

White articles should always be placed where they will receive the strongest sun, and colored pieces should be hang in the shade.
