Sails and Castor Oil! Why take sickening salts or repulsive castor oil? “Goes through you like a dose of salts” means violence, grips, gripes, gases, soreness, irritation, and leaves your stomach and bowels weak and burnt out.

She was young, beautiful, with violet eyes, a scarlet mouth, and hair of dull, pure gold. She did not, could not, love him; yet she was so poor that she had to wear $2 shoes and eat patent breakfast foods which she prepared over the gas jet in her little room; while as for him, had he not motor cars, a yacht, a marble palace at Newport and an opera box? Sometimes, looking at the old man, she thought of all these things. She would not, could not, give him love, but II. Smoking a 25-cent cigar he entered the office. Why did her heart beat faster? Why did a delicate flush stain her cheek’s ivory pallor? Surely he was smiling at her strangely. He drew nearer. His eyes were fixed upon her as in awe and wonder. It was as though he had never really beheld her before. And bending over her, he murmured: “I have a ribbon—a blue ribbon—for you.” m. Why did her heart sink? Alas, 'twas but a typewriter ribbon and hurriedly inserting it in her machine, she resumed her weary and monotonous toil. Tricks of Milk Adulterators. “Of course, in this town,” said a milk inspector, “all the milk is pure; but I’ve been in some towns where Impure milk dealers have played some funny dodges on me. “You know how I work? Sneak along the streets, hold up a milkman, and take a sample right out of the can. Wrell, it lias been a common thing, when a milk man has known me by sight, for him to pretend to trip onseeing me coming, fall headlong, and upset hia can of milk all over the pavement. “Yes, that trick worked the first time, nrwl T wnstprl a lnt nf nltv on the. man that played it.” We needn’t worry about who is go ing to plant flowers on our graves.

The practice of twenty years ago, of every farmer raising all the calves pos sible to replenish and Increase his herd, Is gradually dying out, and farmers are depending more and more upon the oow seller, to keep up their herds. While It Is some trouble to raise calves, yet one may be sure, when buying matured animals that they are paying some one for that trouble and a good big profit besides. The farmer who keeps only a few cows should raise his heifer calves; and, on the large stock farms, we must got back to the system of having a good crop of calves coming on every spring. Every farmer will be better oft by growing young things and feed ing them up to maturity. SOW SOME SORGHUM. Any land that will produce a good 5rop of corn will grow a good crop of sorghum. Don’t be In a hurry to sow the seed. This Is a crop that requires ft warm soil to germinate the seed. Any lime up to June 20 will be In good sea son. Drill It In good and thick and the way it thrives during hot weather Is surprising. It can be soiled to advan tage or may be pastured. - If stock are turned In they should remain only a short time each day. When the crop Is cut and cured, try to hit a week of Sunshine. Cut with a corn binder and Jet the bundles lie on the ground for three or four days. The fodder must bo thoroughly cured before it Is moved Sway. BUY GOOD BROOD MARES. Never 'has there been such a de mand for brood mares os there Is this ftpring. Hero is Just one instanoe of how farmers are buying up good mares that will,breed. At the Chicago stock yards, a few days ago, a fine Shire fiiare was offered for sale for $160. She, had been Injured In a car smash Up and It was uncertain whether she Would breed or not. The farmer was willing to chance $160 on It and took the mare home. The demand Is largely for heavy draft mares and the prices ftre running from $200 to $260. When Such prices are paid one should get good, sound ones, those that will weigh from 1,400 to 1,600 pounds. Then breed only to the best draft stallions. With right care a good mare will raise a good colt every year, and do her share of the farm work. tAHLY til l 1 1 INU OF ALFALFA. Many start out with erroneous Im pressions about cutting alfalfa. They have been induced to put in the crop because of its great feeding value and that some threo or four cuttings may be taken from the field during one season. If you want a strong, vigorous stand of alfalfa, don't be in too big a hurry to clip it to get rid of weeds, or don’t cut the crop from a newly seeded field too soon. The crop should bo pretty well matured before It Is cut. It Is Important that the plant be well established and the crown buds •set fcr subsequent crops, before the first crop Is taken off. After the first year, three or four cuttings may be made, providing that each one is done at the right time. FARM FACTS. When the writer was given his first team he was told to curry the horses morning and night. It is surprising what rubbing down, after a hard day’s work, will do in keeping a team in con dition. If you want to keep your teams fat. ideck and ready at all times for hard work, here is the recipe: Let oats be the main grain, water regularly, feed bright timothy or upland hay, curry and brush thoroughly every morning and at night curry, brush and rub. That is all there is to it. Use a large piece of flannel for rubbing down the legs. Keep this up regularly and your team will be as sleek as moles and fit for the hardest kind of service. Hero are the results of top-dressing clover with fresh barnyard manure. Last spring a thin dressing of about five tons per aero was made on a Strip of clover to determine what effect it would have on the year’s crop. The manured strip made nearly ono ton more per acre than the adjacent field Which was not manured, liesldes, the manured field made a bettor aftermath. That manure was worth $2 per ton. It is not a good thing to stack clover in the same plaoo two years In succes sion. And It Is worse still to put new hay on the old stack bottoms. If you want to keep clear of the clover hay worm, clear away all the last year's crop left over, and burn the trash. If clover is put into mows, clean out the hay lofts before the new crop goes In. Many farmers have been worried over the outcome of their oats crop, claim ing that tho cold weather during the last four weeks will be disastrous to the crop. There Is no cause for alarm. This Is Ideal oat weather. The plants aro making roots and the warm June days will develop the straw and mature the grain. There are two very Important Jobs about the stock farm during the months of Juno and July, Keep the troughs sweet and clean, don't feed swill out of sour barrels, and then make sure that tho windmill, or other source of water supply, Is doing steady work. Stock need froBh water at all hours of the day. Blue grass makes the Ideal early and late pasture, but It Is rather difficult to get It set. It requlros a firm seed bed, and tho seeds need plenty of molsturo and soil warmth. Blue grass will readily irowd out other grasses, and will soon cover a field If It Is al lowed to seed Itself, Hhorts makes the finest kind of feed for the pigs any time, but more es pecially for the first month or two after they are weanod, Buy good shorts if you can; that Is, stuff which contains but a small amount of coarse fibre. Bran Is good stuff for the cows, but It la poor stuff for pigs. Those who planted corn early this season have missed It, The ground was too cold and the seed lias rotted, Many will have to replant, lie sure that the seed used for the second planting Is all right. Boor seed now means that you will lose your corn crop, If H falls to grow. GROW MORE AND BUY LESS. Bran was formerly considered the main food which had to be bought. But prices of bran are now very high and dairymen must look for something tc take Its place. Alfalfa oan be grown now over a wide range, and this can be substituted for bran to a very good adJ vantage. It Is has been shown that ai much milk oan be made from a ton of alfalfa as from a ton of bran; and, where alfalfa will do well three or four tons may be taken from an acre during one season. Surely alfalfa can be grown for less than $10 a ton, while bran now costs from $20 to $21 per ton. In a ton of alfalfa there are 220 pounds of digestible protein, and In a ton of bran there ure 224 pounds of digestible protein. It will not take much figuring to determine whether It pays best to grow one and one-half to two tons of timothy per acre and Bell It and buy bran, or grow alfalfa and feed It. All mill products are high. Dairymen must look to some other source for their sup ply of protein. MAKING COTTAGE CHEESE. Who does not like a nice dish of cot tage cheese,, and where else can it be so easily mode as on the farm? The Minnesota experiment station tellB us how to make it: Separator milk Is allowed to sour In a warm. room. The milk Is than heated to a temperature of about 100 degrees Fahrenheit and hot water (1?5 degrees F.) added at the rate of about one pint per gallon of milk. The addition of tha hot watar rosults In more.complete co agulation of‘the milk. After, stirring for for one or two minutes the coagu lated mass is allowed to‘ Bettle, and then the whey drained oft and the curd collected by straining through cheese cloth. If too much hot water Is used, a tough curd results; If the milk Is not sour onough, It falls to curdle properly. When of medium acidity and favorable temperature, a soft, fine-grained curd Is secured. The curd Is salted and mixed with cream. The cottage cheese prepared In this way Is found very pal atable. and contains a largo amount of nutriments In the form of protetds and FEEDING SHEAF OATS. There Is an uncommonly large acre age of oats In this season, and with present prospects of a light hay crop, It will be good business to store awaj a nice lot of oats In sheaf. When the crop la to be fed In this manner 11 should bo cut while the straw Is rathei green—about tho time the berry Is lr the dough. It takes careful work to secure tho crop at this stage, for thd straw must cure out thoroughly bei fore It goos Into mow or stack. Bind In rather small bundles and let the bundles stand In the shock until well cured. When properly cured the shea! oats make splendid feed and will carry the horses and colts through the win ter In good condition. To keep well the sheaves should be put In tho barm DAIRY NOTES. Year3 ago there was some apprehen sion lest -he dairy business bo over done, We do not hear much about that now. Instead there Is scarcely enough first class butter to go around. The man who Is now compelled to sell Ills butter for less than 20 cents a pound, ut any tlmo during tho yean has no one but himself to blame. Ha simply la not making the grade of but ter that pcoplo want and aro willing to jiay 25 to 30 cents a pound for. A city young man asks the writer whether ho recommend# dairying as a good business. Dairying might not be a good business for this young mam because there are many essentials about this work that must be mas tered by actual experience, and In this the city man Is apt to be lacking. A safer courso would be to grow and study crops for two or three years, and work Into tho dairy features gradually. A cow must produce at least $20 worth of butter fat during the year, over and above the cost of her keep, to make It worth while to milk her. It costs around $13 a year to pay for labor of milking a cow, and about $7 a year to raise her calf bv hand. Un less a cow will provide enough to pay her way and offset those two item# she has no business In the dairy. An Illinois dairyman paid $76 a head for ten heifers with their first calf, These wore grade Guernseys and had been bred to a puro bred bull with a dairy record behind him. That was a big price, but the risk was not so great after all. These young cows had been bandied right; they cumo from good dams, and, barring accidents, every one will make a profitable dairy cow. Tho hardest thing for most dairymen to overcome Is their reluctanoe about weeding out their herds. Many will struggle along with tho problem for years without making any headway. Ono must drive the unprofitable cows out of his herd, or ho himself will bo driven out of tho business, and It won’t take long to do It, A good feeder and a good handler can get the greatest amount of product from a herd of cows. Wo have all no ticed that stock do better for some men than others. Tho reason Is simple enough. The man who makes a success of It studies the conditions of his ani mals and he feeds accordingly, These things count In handling milch cows, A common error of those using hand separators Is to force the machine be yond Its capacity, that Is, put the mHk through faster than the machine can separate the cream. The result Is that some of tho cream Is lost, It is Impor tant that ono know the capacity of his machine and thus govern the Inflow accordingly, Even where only enough butter Is made to suply the family It will pay to use a small barrel churn, The best place to wash the butter milk out of Putter Is In the churn. Draw off the buttermilk and put lrt about as much cold water. A few turns of the churn will be all that Is necessary. A milk house, where the milk and cream may be kept By, eet and cold, away from stables and stock pens will pay Its cost every season. Where ice has been put up the summer core of milk will bo easy, If the cooling Is done by providing cold water It will , need close attention. Th® American Abroad. i A western congressman who goes abroad J each year tells of the militant republican ism of an American he met In Brusales last summer. This man, It appears, was a merchant In a small town of Indiana. One morning they wi re out for a ride, and as they passed through the gates of a public park their equipage passed that of King Leopold, which was leaving the park. Following the custom, the congressman, as did every one else near by, except the merchant from Indiana, lifted his hat, whereupon the democratic Leopold also lifted his hat and bowed and smiled. The merchant eat bolt upright looking straight ahead. “Know who that Is?” asked the con gressman of the merchant. “Yes; I recognized him from his pic tures. It*s King Leopold.” “Then why didn’t you bow to him as I did?” The merchant from Indiana stiffened In his seat and squared his shoulders. “I don’t bow to no kings,” he said. -- A WONDERFUL GAIN.
