'RODUCTiON OF MARKET MILK highly Essential That Cows Be Clean as Dust and Dirt Adhering Contaminate Fluid. The health of the cows is the first Essential la the production of good 'milk. They should be in good physical condition and free from disease. They should also bo tested for tuberculosis by a capable veterinarian at least once a year, and all reacting Practical Milkhouse. animals removed. The object of the tuberculin test Is not only to safeguard the milk supply but to protc-ct the herd from the ravages of this flise2se. The feed of the herd should be wholesome, and the water supply should be protected from contamination. ! Dirt and dust adhering to the cows are responsible for most of the contamination of milk. It is therefore essential that the cows be clean not necessarily washed every day and dried with a sterile towel, but clean dn a common-sense meaning that is, free from accumulation of dirt and manure, and thoroughly brushed. If ;the hair on the udders, flanks and tails is clipped, this wi'l aid in keeping the animals clean. The cow stable3 should be free from contaminating surroundings and well drained. An abundance of light Is very important. About 500 cubic feet of air space should be provided for each animal. Proper ventilation will keep the air fresh and pure at all times. A coat of whitewash twice a year will make the stable lighter and the air sweeter and will destroy countless germs. The milkhouse should be located at a convenient place where there is good drainage. A cement floor is very Important an J should be extended up on the sides at least six inches, or better still, to the window casings. An inexpensive and conveniently arranged milkhouse as shown may be built to accommodate 25 to CO cows. The building Is divided into four rooms, arranged to eliminate unnecessary labor and at the same time to provide sufficient space for the apparatus, its operation and care. The best location for the milkhouse would be about halfway down the length of the barn and 12 to 13 feet distant from It. A door in the side of the barn at this point, opening from a cross alley, makes it convenient for the milkers and saves unnecessary time and travel. A driveway should be placed between barn and milkhouse for bringing empty cans, bottles, fuel, Ice, etc., to the milkhouse, and for loading: milk upon the delivery wagon. In one corner of the building a small weighroom is partitioned off, the floor of which 13 raised 24 Inches above the main floor; this room is ntered from the vestibule. The milk r takes the milk of each cow to this room, where it is weighed, recorded on the milk sheet, and emptied through the funnel (A), which Is pro vided with cheesecloth strainers and a hinged cover. The milk pisses from the funnel by gravity to a mixing tank and cooler (B), from which it empties lntr a can which is carried over to the bottle filler (C) for immediate bot tling, or into shipping cans which may be placed In the pool built Into the bottom of a refrigerator (E). If It ia desired to separate the cream, a steam turbine separator would be provided at N, run by steam from the boiler. The milkroom Is so located that It is not necessary to enter it except to care for the milk, thus making it easy ;to keep clean and cool and free from files, dust and other contamination.

The Utensils are a very Important part of the dairyman's equipment The can3 and pails should be well built and made with a view to perfect and easy cleaning. Supply Fodder Early to Cows. Young dairy calves, and indeed all calves, should be given good fodders early, it is important that these ihould be given to them early, so that the proper distension of the paunch may take place In due order. If it does not, the capacity to take food becomes limited. Even with calves of the beef breed.s the tendency Is in the direction of giving too little attention to this matter. The free feeding of meal to calves makes flesh in good form, but It does not distend the stomach. A cow with a small stomach capacity can never take front rank as a dairy cow. Profitable Cow. A Nebraska Jersey coy produced cream during the y.ar ending March 1 that sold for $250. Her feed cost around $100. Milk Prices. The wholesale price of raiik for June been fixed by the executive committee of the Philadelphia Milk Shippers' union at 3!i cents per quart. Profit in Fruit. Profit in fruit ia sure if we handle ,he trees and market the fruit properly. If any part of the wagon is weak, or any of the small tools out of order, thoroughly repair them before going latothe meadow to work.

GRAIN PASTURES FOR COWS

There Are Few Scascrs When It Does Not Pay to Supplerr.snt Grasses With SciKnj Crcps. (By M. J. KINO.) When dairy cows have the fun ot good pasture I have faikd to find profit in feeding grain fooiU but when they are compelled to stay in a parched pasture and are having green soiling crops fed to them it will pay to feed some grain foods. It is a common sight to see dairy herds fighting flies and vainly trying to break through the fences and get Into jsome luxuriant fieid of farm crops The loss to the dairy farmer under such conditions Is severe and yet he generally hesitates to buy leed, uncer-! tain os to whether it will prove prof- i itable. ! There are few seasons when it will j "ot pay to supplement pasture grasses i tith soiling crops or grr.in fcods. I It is much catder to let a cow down j in her milk flow than to ge her back 1 to it ! Then again, the cow that Is com- ; pelled to go through the hot summer ' weather and fight flies in some sunburnt pasture is in poor condition to produce a profitable flow of milk ; when the conditions are more favor- i able. . i It is for this reason that It will j many times pay to feed sufficient grain ! foods to prevent the cows from falling j away in condition. The cow that falls j away in condition during the summer i and fall Is In very poor condition to go Into winter quarters. Much of the lack of condition In the dairy herd is caused by the cow going Into the winter in poor condition. CHEESE BOX MADE USEFUL Home-Made Contrivance, Strengthened J by Metal Hoop, Proves Very Effective as Press. ' j I have a very useful device which I made from a cheese box, writes Mrs. ! G. II. Benedan of Nebraska in Farm ' and Home. I bored a number of i A Homemade Cheese Press, small holes in the box, removed both the top and bottom, and strengthened it by putting a metal hoop around it. I put the cheese inside of this casing and place It on a block that has a groovejn it to let the whey run off at on side. On top of the cheese I place a round block of wood, and across this is laid a long board, which is attached to the wall at one end and has a weight on the other. This serves as a cheese press, and proves very effective. Clean cows mean clean milk. Keep the, calf )ails scrupulously clean. Cows are gentle unless they ara abused. The successful dairyman must be a successful salesman. Possibly the high price of butter ia making dairy cows higher. Every ounce of food you put Into a cow Is turned Into something. You cannot get 11 pounds of material out of ten pounds of food. Contamination of the milk in the barn may kill somebody's baby in the city. The cows that drop their calves this month should be well protected from the heat and flies. The treeless or shadeless pasture Is one form of inflicting cruelty to domestic animals. A domesticated cow Is not apt to be vicious unless she has been raised amid vicious surroundings. Dairying is the salvation of poor soil. But it's better to use it as a preventative than to haye to use It as a cure. Take especial pains to keep the vessels clean in which the calves are fed. Hot sun and dirty palls make serious trouble. Death to babies sometimes lurks la the dirty milk can and death to young calves Is often concealed in filthy feeding troughs. No matter what some folks say, cows need salt. They ought to have at least three or four ounces each per day, but the best plan Is to keep It where they can help themselves. Secondary Dairying. Secondary dairying 13 being praotised by too many farmers. When, anything had to be neglected It wa always the dairy, and for this reason the profits from their dairies have been small. Where' milking machines have been introduced they have influenced dairymen to clean up their farms and take more pride in their work. This naturally will result In the production of cleaner milk and in some cases, better prices. Any practical apparatus which has a tendency to Improve dairy conditions should be welcomed by the industry. Using Fresh Milk. The question as to when the milk Is fit to use after a cow has freshened I3 a subject which is still a matter of dispute. The old rule of using the ninth milking Is not regarded by many people as being always a safe rule. One way i3 to test the milk by boiling. If it comes to the boiling point with out curdling it is all right to use. Awards Granted. Sixty-four buttermakers and cheesemakers who have exhibited their products in the monthly butter and cheesescoring exhibitions at tho University of Wisconsin dairy school the past year have just been granted awards, in the shape of engrossed diplomas bearing the record of the scores made by their products in the exhibits. Use of Paris Green. Remember in. using Paris green in water to keep it well stirred, so that the poison shall be held in suspension. If this is ncjflected the grtcn wi l settle to the bottom of the vessel as it is not soluble in water. Light in Everything. In everything that happens there la Hjht; and the greatness of the great est of men has but consisted in that they had trained their eyes to be open to every ray of ihU light. Maurice Maeterlinck,

TTEMPTS made last spring at poisoning prairie dogs In national forests on an extensive scale seem to have been highly successful in riddtag selecte.d areas o these small pests, and plans are now being made to carry on the work much more widely next year. The first experiments In this line were made In New Mexico by a stockman who has since entered the forest service. In 1D01. Dr. C. Hart Merrlarn, chief of the division of biological survey of the department of agriculture, made a report upon "The Prairie Dog of the Great Plains," in which the damage done by the dogs was pointed cut, and various methods of poisoning them were suggested. Thi3 report of Doctor Merriam's may be said to have blazed the way for practical work In prairie dog extermination. Prairie dogs are very obnoxious to the stockmen, for they devour much grass and undermine the surfaco of the ground with their burrows. Vaere they establish themselves the destruction of the range Is only a question of time. Range improvement In national forests is one of the chief objects of regulating the grazing. For this reason tho forest service is leaving no stone unturned to prevent range deterioration. Stockmen who had ifuffercd heavily from the prairie dog pest were solicitous to have the work taken up, and gladly offered to co-operate with the service In furnishing men and horses to distribute the poison. To ascertain what success could be had in ridding considerable areas of the pest, a selection was made of parts of the Leadville and Pike national forests, which were badly infested. The region in these forests upon which the dogs were located aggregated 300 square miles or more. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the work, an area of some CO or 70 thousand acres of actual dogtown was selected for the test From 80 to 90 per cent, of the dogs were killed with the first distribution of the poison. It will be necessary to go over the ground a second time and by "spotting" the occupied holes the remaining dogs will easily be killed with a very small amount of the poisoning material. The average cost p acre for the poisoning material was only one and onehalf cents, and even then it was found that more material had been used than was necessary. The poison is prepared by coating wheat with a preparation of strychnine, cyanide of potassium, anise oil and molasses. When a sufficient quantity is ready, the poisoned wheat I3 carried to the field of operations. There the stockmen supply men and horses, the wheat is given out to the riders, and distribution begins. Each rider carries the wheat In a tin pall supported by a gunny sack slung across his right shoulder and hanging at his left side. His left hand is lree for the reins. With his right hand he uses a tablespoon to measure out the poison and drop it Catching Sea Birds. An ingenious way of catching birds Is practised in the Orkney islands. There is a large white bird who travels with an Irregular and heavy flight, again and ag.in rising and taking a tremendous plunge Into the blue depths of the ocean, 'where it remans out of sight for the space of 15 seconds or so. This bird is the gannet or solan goose, and It is the only aquatic bird that takes its prey by headlong diving. The wily Orcadian takes advantage of the bird's peculiar plunging habit by painting the portrait of a herring on a piece of plank and weighting it Just suTiCiently to keep it the right dlstanco under the water. Thi3 ingenious counterfeit is placed in a part of the sea infested by gannets, and presently along comes a bird whose sharp eye quickly detects what he supposes to be a fine fat herring. Away up he fiie3 until he has reached a sufficient altitude to enr.ble him to make a successful dive upon his prey. Down, down he comes straight as a plummet, and the sea Is churned into foam all around where ha has entered it. But. alaal ha Crooked. "What maLejj you say he Is crooked?" "He told me so himself."

near the entrance of the holes. A little practise enables the men to drop the wheat while keeping their horses at a sharp trot. , Iiy crossing the town, to and fro, like a man sowing grain, they can cover a large area in a surprisingly short time. The action of the poison is almost instantaneous. Most of the prairie dogs in a town are dead within an hour or two after the bait is dropped. - The work is considered to have demonstrated the entire feasibility of fighting the prairie dogs in this way. It was found, however, that to be successful the poison must be scattered In the spring, when the dogs first come out from their winter quarters and before the green grass is offered to appease their hungry appetites. Next spring the poisoning will be undertaken much more extensively. A well-known stockman In northern Arizona writing to the forest service of his stock range on the great Canyon Diablo plateau, says: "Five years ago such a thing as a prairie dog was unknown here. Two years ago there were a few widely distributed over the range. .Last year they became numerous, In fact, quite common, if something Is not promptly done to destroy them they will do great harm to the range." It is expected that the campaign against the dogs in the Arizona and New Mexico forests will be most successful, as it has met with universal favor among the stockmen who are giving every assistance to the forest service men. Stockmen and others who wish to try the poisoning on their own account can obtain the formula for Its preparation and direction for its use from the district forester at Albuquerqua. New Mexico, or from the forest service, Washington. A Long-Llved Race. Lord Knollys, who, after serving the late king for forty years, has been appointed private secretary to King George, comes of a singularly longlived race. Ills father served as controller of the Prince of Wales's household until his eightieth year, and lived for six years after his retirement, and his grandfather likewise attained a great age. His ancestor, William Knollys, who also served In the household of two monarchs, Elizabeth and James I., died at the age of eightyfive, and, according to Dugdale, "rode a hawking and hunting within half a year of his death." Sir Francis Knollys, tho distinguished statesman who founded the family fortune, was eightytwo at the time of his death. London Chronicle. It Doesn't Last.

London Telegraph. Carrying Plague From Rats. Egyptian or rat fleas had been spread all over the warm countries of the world by the rats which they worry and ride. It has been proved that man fleas and cat fleas can caTy plague, but no so strong or deadly as tho rat Ilea's plague. One flea's stomach and gizzard hold 5,000 plague germs, where germs can furthef grow and keep alive for 15 days, but after 15 days white blood cells in the rat's or flea's blood kill the plague germs. Fleas suck the rat's blood, and so get white cells from the rats. Both rats and fleas become so charged that the plague stops owing to immunity. Sought Wide Revenge.

Hags, baskets or boxes in fact, any receptacle that will combine utility with originaity is the rule this season. There is, of course, always the rountf form with its convenient drawing itrings, but new designs crop up every little while, copyable at reasonable prices and charming In appearance. There is the basket of cretonne on the wooden stand that is appropriate in the sewing room. The stand can be purchased at any needlework department, although one clever one utilized a .wornout campstool w ith great results. A bag of cretonne must be made first and then shirred upon the frame, allowing a heading of one inch to extend above the rods. When fitted TAILORED HATS HAVE GRACE Like the Tailored Suit, They Are No Longer Severe in Design Panama Continues Popular. Theoretically the shirt waist no longer appears in public, whatever may actually happen when the mercury persists in staying around the 90 mark until humanity reaches the limit of its endurance. With the substitution of the tailored suit of linen or other light weight fabric for the separate skirt and waist, the shirt waist hat of ancient memory, though it has altered its character only a little, has become the tailored hat. The tailored hat, like the tailored suit, admits of variation, and is sometimes far from beiDg as severe as its name Indicates. Some new tailored hats in which the lines are especially graceful and the color combinations a delight to the soul are of voile stretched plainly over wide shapes made of hemp straw. One of these models was of old rose voile over dark navy blue straw, the latter showing only on the under side of the brim.- The trimming was a bow of taffeta that matched the straw. An exquisite union of tones was seen in a hat of gray hemp straw covered with Alice blue voile and simply trimmed with a little scarf of gray voile hemmed and fringed at the ends. Other hats built on about the same plan as those described are covered with linen in a number of beautiful brown shades. Some of these have at the sides two large conventional quills, which are ornamented with designs In rat tall, but softer styles of treatment such as draplDg with printed scarfs are also shown. Panama hats have charms that Insure their long continuance in the lf.nd so long as the climate remains as it Is, for they seem to exhale tho spirit of relaxation and peace that make summer enjoyable. This year for their summer there are new hand-painted India scarfs that are beautifully delicate in tone, besides an endless variety of lovely printed fabrics. FOR THE SUMMER PARASOL A Discarded Frame May Be Recovered With English Chintz or the New Persian Silk. For the summer parasol nothing could be more novel and charming than English chintz; or, better still, the new pcrslan silk. It may be purchased In almost any combination of shades' that the taste of the purchaser dictates. A woman who Is at all clever with the needle should be able to do the mounting at home. If you have a discarded parasol of an earlier season rip the cover off and carefully take the stitches out of one of the sections. Press this and use it as pattern for cutting the others. ; When you put it together make sure that the seams are exactly the same size as before. To finish, gSther a little of the material at the top of the parasol. A shirred rosette of chintz at the handle also adds to tho chic effect. In Summer Sunshades. Ribs of brass as well as of gilt and white enamel are seen in some of the summer sunshades. LATEST COLLARS AND TIES Turnovers of Pique Daintily Embroidered Popular for Girls Four-ln-Hands Are Very Smart. Most popular among the stiff collars for girls are the turnovers of pique embroidered in small and dainty patterns. The pique is very fine and has small lines. Sometimes the colors run round tho collar, and again when a broader bar is used It Is cut to run up and down. Other tailored collars which are fashionable are made of plain, rather fine linen, with tucks around the edge. Stiff colla.s with turnovers of lace are also worn.' Then there are straight band collars of valenciennes insertion and fine linen or bajiste, with lingerie Lows in front. Short Jabots are also used, but for school girls the very long jabots now worn by women and older girls are not considered in the best style. They are a jgreat nuisance, for one thing, and school girl.

The inner surface, by the way, should be covered also. Fine chintz or poplin can be pasted over the cardboard, and will last for years. The top of the hatbox must be treated in the same way and by means of tape or ribbon held over the box to prevent dust From boxes of various sizes a chest of drawers can be made that will keep buttons, thread, tape, etc., in their re spective groups. When covered witt silk or cotto'n fabric and bound witt gilt galloon, there Is a combinatior that looks well in a room for youi guest, especially if it harmonize witl the general scheme of decoration. If the gift for a friend be a dis turbing thought, remember that th majority of women sew and that t workbag a little out of the ordinarj is always acceptable. When made bj the giver it is doubly so. PRESENT-DAY CORSETS. There are today many figures whic'n are not seen to advantage, being distorted by corsets which have been chosen in a haphazard manner without discretion. La Mode has repented of the folly of her ways of the last century and her votaries fulfil her commands when wearing corsets which define the undulating outline of the waist and permit perfect freedom for grace and elegance of movement. The medlcaj faculty are in favor of the fashionable corsets of 1910, as they give the lungs room and keep the vital organs in position. ALUM WATER A GOOD HEALER Useful in' Cases Where It Is Desired to Toughen or Quickly Harden the Skin. Whether your foot or your tongud is tender there are few remedies equal to weak alum water. Alum hardens the cuticle quickly, and so makes an excellent foot bath, especially for summer, when the feet are inclined to burning and are sensitive. When using it for a sore tongue, make a weak solution and do not swallow it. It can be used in stronger proportions on the outside of lips for fever blisters. Strong alum water is said quickly to allay the burning of frost-bitten feet, and Is employed effectively for nervous twitching, which is aggravated by hot weather. Do not use alum water for dyspepsia, as is sometimes advocated. It is injurious when used internally. Wooden Beads. Wooden beads are made into neck' laces and are exceedingly smart fox trimming on hats. One finds them,too, studding raffia belts. Long crocheted four-in-h inds, whict are to be worn with stiff collars, ar finished with rather deep fringe at th ends. The fringe exactly matches the tie and in most instances is mad by hand from the same silk as th tie. These four-in-hands are verj smart with flannel waists. Chamois Cushions. WTlth a pattern cut out as for stencil work, the chamois cover of a cushion is lined with rich brown satir or velvet and finished round the edg with a brown silk cord. A second cushion top of chamois has its conventional design burnt upon it very delicately burnt with pyrographic needle, because this leather is too delicate for careless work, The Half-Veil.

The athletic records and the tests of soldiers In marksmanship an marching all tell the same story, that even moderate use of intoxicants decreases efficiency. When we turn to the "captains of industry" anl their lieutenants, from whose ranks life insurance has obtained most of the test cases that have shown that total abstainers, other conditions being equal, live fully 15 per cent, longer than even those very moderate drinkers who are allowed to insure, we see that the losses in valuable lives must rise tc millions more.

Among mn on the sea the dangers from its use are enormously enhanced."
