Our legal department has at last discovered a plan whereby we can lawfully
distribute large sums of money to consumers, of , THREE'STAR COFFEE.
1 The only element of chancy Involved In our new plan is.the feature of uncer
tainty in. your mind as to whether you'will save more of the Three .Star Tloketa
than some other contestant who'Is working for the same prise you are.
If we are successful^,eta we hope to be, In confining’ our cash' deflations to
regular legitimate consumers, It will not require-any great hiitaber' of the
tickets’to win even the first grand prize of ONE HUNOREO.DOLLARS.
The average coffee consumption per family .per week, average^ about one
pound to each family. Our first Three .Star Ticket* were placed ,In Three
Star Coffee on July 20, 1W7. The time which .wlll have intervened between that y
date and September 1st, 1*07, will be about five weeks. . So you bee am average g
accumulation of tlckeU would be 'only five. It 1* possible, however, that some y
consumers will anticipate their Van ts, and In so doing brder to -supply their jg
i future requirements. This practice we would, very "Strongly advise against,
mainly for the reason that' coffee becomes stale when, h$14 too long, ah'! When. I
stale Is not as satisfactoryc*; beverage as when, fresh. 3

The Modern Spirit.
W. L. Alden, the novelist, who has re
turned from London to Buffalo to pass the
rest of his life at home, was talking to a
reporter about the modern commercial
spirit.
“Frankly,” said the author of “Jimmy
Brown,” a book that Is, like “Torn Saw
yer,” an American classic—“tranJfciy, I
abominate the modern commercial spirit.
It makes men rich, but liow it hardens
their hearts.
“I once knew an old, old man, a book
keeper. His back was bent, but his soul
was upright. He had worked for the same
firm—and the same salary—for forty years.
“Well, at the end of these forty years,
my poor old friend said to his employer
timidly:
” ‘Are you aware, sir, that today Is the
fortieth anniversary of ray service with
you?’
“The employer took a square box, neatly
wrapped iu white paper, from his desk.
" ‘I know it, Mr. Quille, he said, ‘and
I have prepared a little surprise for you.
Pray accept this alarm clock, with my*
best wishes for your continued punctual
ity.’ ” _ _

COACHING CLUBS 100 YEARS OLD
In Spite of the Honk, Honk of M®tor
Cars the “Tantivy Trot” Holds.
Own.
From the New York Herald.
This year celebrates the centenary of
coaching clubs, for it was In 1805 that
amateur four-dn-hand whips In England
formed the Benslngton Driving club, bet
ter known as the "B. D. C.” and the Black
and White club, the latter appellation
originating from the fact that the club
held two meets every yeai at tho \yblte
Hart Inn, In Benslngton, and two at the
Black Dog, in Bedford. The Four-Horse
club came Into existence soon after 1807,
at the Instance of C. Buxton, originator
of the bit which still bears his name. The
Buxton bit has survived and is still tbe
correct .thing for all full dress .occasions,
but the club died In 1820. Then came the
Richmond Driving club, founded about
this time by the Earl of Chesterfield. The
Four-In-Hand Driving club and' the
Coaching club followed and still live.
Though the honk honk of the motor car
Is now heard more often on English roads
than the old fashioned tune of the •'Tan
tivy Trot,” the Coaching club had eight
een drags In line at Its meet this year. It
was noticeable, however, that the major
ity of the whips were well past middle age.
One rtf the veterans was Major Jary, a
descendant of the man who owned Jary’s
Bellfounder, better known in this country
as Imported Bellfounder, sire of the dam
of Rysdyk’s Hambletonlan. American
coaching men who were present say that
the .old fashioned English coach horse of
the hunter type was conspicuous by his
absence, all the teams being made up of
high stepping nags of the hackney type.
The girize for the best coach and four
went *o Bir Lindsay Hogg, whose styjlsh
chestnut high steppers represented the
last ward >in modern park coaching.
Logical Conclusion.
From the Baltimore American.
"I abject to y.otrr attentions to my
daughter!” cried the Irate parent, and
thereupon kicked the young man out of
the house.
As be pioked lfimself up tbe rejected
suitor murmured, meditatively: ‘T ad
mit that the old man's objections carry
weight.”

“My brother was in the habit of
drinking coffee three times a day. He

without a do6e of soda for relief.
“Finally he tried a cup of Postum
aud liked It so well be gave up coffee
and since then has been drinking Pos

once been troubled with sour stomach.”
Even after this lady's experience
with coffee her brother did not suspect
for a time that coffee was causing his
sour stomach, but easily proved it.
Coffee Is not suspected In thousands -
of oases Just like this, but it’s easily
proved. A ten days’ trial worts won

WOMAN’S SKETCH OF QUEEN.
Alexandra Gave a Sitting to Mile.
d’Epinay, a Young French Artist.
From the New York Herald'..
Queen Alexandra, who dhUgtylsr in help
ing young artists, utilized Eom£o£the free
dom from social engagements caused^ by
the slight cold from which, she, has suf
fered, during the last week to give a sit
ting to Mile. Marie d’Epinay,. a clever
French artist, whose exhibition a-t, the
Fine Art society was honored by a visit
from King Edward the other day.
Her majesty had promised to sit for
Mile. d’Epinay if possible, but there
seemed little chance at a free morning and
the young artist was preparing, to return
to Paris when a summons. cam«\ from
Buckingham, palace requesting her to gc
therq at once. The portrait, a head In
red chalk, was completed In three hours,
the queen sitting both before and after
lunch.
Mile. d’Epinay’s sketch shows the face
of the royal sifter three-quarters to the
spectator. The head fa framedin the large
Qalpsborough hat with ostrich plume?
Which proved so becoming to her majesty
when she wore It at Ascot instead of her
usual small toque.
Both the queen and King Edward were
delighted with the portrait, the king espe
cially complimenting the young artist or
her success In catching the expression of
the mouth of the royal sitter.

A LAO GETS $2,000 A YEAR JOB
Protege of Judge Lindsey Appointed
Juvenile Court Stenographer.
■From the Denver News.
"I want to get ahead, so I came to
work; for you."
Two years ago Judge Ben B, Undsey
was Interrupted at his work by a boyJSh
voice. -Looking up, ho saw a y.oungstet
with a shock of bright red hair, and mirth
ful blue eyes. He waa wearing knee pants
and for a moment the Judge wondered
what the small fellow could do. The Ver
million crown appealed to him.
So Jay Bacon was kept In the Juvenile
court and gi ven a chance-to advance. First
he waa made a sort of messenger boy and
•'handy Andy" for everyone. He was giv
en the dignified title of clerk, but the
young man is authority for the statement
that he tiequeutly did many services be
neath the dignity of his title.
He bad studied stenography at home
with hta stepfather. D. H;. Colburn, who
is one of the probation officers, and hit
first attempt at taking dictation, from
Judge Undsey convinced the latter that
his clerk aould hold his own.
Last Wednesday judge Undsey was ap
pointed Judge of the new Juvenile court,
Under the statute creating the court he
was to name a stenographer at a salary, of
$11,000 a year, almost as much as stenog
raphers to district Judges receive. The
next promotion hod come to Jay Bacon,
for without considering any other appli
cant Judge Undsey appointed him to the
place.
The Value of Play.
I lip hard Cole Newton in the Popular Scl
enco Monthly.
The great educational value of play,
as such, has at last begun to be recog
nized. A German commission some
few years ago visited the English pub
lic schools under instruct Iona to study
the Inlluence of the games and sports
carried on there upon the physical and
Intellectual development of the stu
dents. Their report, was such that steps
were Immediately taken la Introduce
athletic sports and games into the Ger
man achools. An annual of four or
five hundred pages entirely devoted to
play Is now published in that country,
where, in fact, most of the pedagogic
movements of the past cenfury have
originated, and after careful investiga
tion, the playground movement was
rystematlcally undertaken there; and
there is now In some German cities a
aw requiring that each school shall
provide a minimum play space for each
Jupil. which in Munich, for example,
nust be at least twenty-live square feet
n area. In Berlin there is a forty-acre
llayground Intended solely for Small
•hlldren. Play conferences are being
icld annually in the larger German
itlps and thousands of teachers are
<elng taught to play games with the
Jiildreu.

WINTER DAIRYING.
More people are turning to winter
Sairylng now because they have dis
covered that when their cowe are prop
erly handled and fed there la more
money made during the winter months.
Putvthousands have failed at dairying
simply because they attempted to
handle their cows In winter the same
«s they did In summer. Farmers gen
erally consider winter care of cows
i nuisance, and on many farms only
sue or two cows (ire kept over winter,
|ust for faminp use. It requires a
broader knowfeSsfe of eowi and feeds,
13 well as bettclweare of cream. Cur
ing the summer, cows get most ot
their feed from pastures, but during
the wlhter season they must be fed
the grain and fodder crops grown dur
ing the summer. To do this and turn
every pound of feed to good account,
Is the proposition of the winter dairy
man. On the other hand wf.lpter pro
ducts are always much higher than
summer goods, and tbe successful
lairyman understands how to juprktt
bis teed to tne test advantage. A
rood fat stock feeder tells IP® he rarely
realizes lees than 75 cents a bushel
'or his corn crop. I wonder how many
Winter dairymen understand their
business \yell enough to market their
-rops through their milch cows at so
rood advantage. The beBt success of
winter work comes in giving the cows
Just the food that will enable them
1 *0 do their best. Straw Is a mighty
1 rood filler, but It will not produce
the kind of milk that makes good but
*er. If cows are winter fed on silage
• or fodder, clover or alfalfa, hay, meal,
! bran and like foods, It is up to the
«ow then to turn out the milk. The
! dairyman must learn then to deal out
j these foods so ns to produce the larg
est possible amount of butter fat.
FARM FACTS.
If you have an apple crop coming on
I jr a Held of potatoes to market later
in, better arrange for barrels or boxes,
I ind have them on hand, when the crop
I a ready. Thousands of bushels of these
1 products spoil every year, because no
i provision Is made to handle the stuff.
Pick out the thin spots In the grass
Selds and In the stubble fields, and see
'.hut the manure goes around to these
places. Hauling out manure and
spreading It over the handiest field Is
not always the best thing to do.
I A correspondent, asks whether It pays
! to "hog down" corn. Many do not
think it a good practice to allow hogs
I the run of a large held. But If say five
1 acres can be fenced off, ana tne nogs
! ire turned In early, they will harvest
, \t without much waste. Some sow cow
1 peas in a few acres, and turn their hogs
in about September IB.
j New houses and new barns are loom
; Ing up this summer all over the coun
t try. That’s the right idea. Improve
1 the home and surroundings, instead of
putting the surplus in doubtful lands
; t>r mine investments.
! Leasing time will soon be around
igain. Written leases or contracts are
ilways advisable. If there is accord
ind perfect understanding between
landlord and tenant, the lease will not
Uurt either one. If any dispute comes
up during the year, the lease will set
tle the question. Most people Intend to
do the square thing, but there are
luestlons about which opinions muy
differ. The lease will Weep things
j itralght.
i There Is going to be a. great deal of
late corn this season. The crop Is now
practically out of the hands of growers
and about all we can do Is to hope
tor a good ripening season. Thousands
i pf acres of this lale corn will be cut up
tor fodder. If the crop will mature
tnough to well dent the kernels, and
If one has plenty of stock, this no
doubt is the best way to handle late
fields.
On aooount of the enormous winter
losses of sheep on western ranges fpr
the past two winters, many of the big
flocks are being broken up, and sheep
men are getting out of the business.
People are Just beglunlng to like mut
ton, and they' will have It, even If they
have to pay fancy prices. There is the
ppportunlty now for general farmers to
nock up with a small flock. There Is
money In It and farms will be better
for having sheep around.
I ..
1 The object of putting up corn as
silage Is to preserve the stalk and
blades in as near their green stage as
possible. If corn is allowed to become
too ripe and the stalks too dry, the
value of the silage Is much reduced.
The best feed Is obtained If the corn
Is allowed to become just well dented,
and then cut and put up as quickly
as possible.
Don’t forget to drag the roads.
Wherever this work has been properly
attended to farmers and town people
both profit. Good roads make hauling
easier. People will drive over a nice,
smooth roadway, when they would stay
at home If the roads were rough or
muddy. Merchants know this, and In
many places there Is friendly co-opera
tlon between farmers and merchants
In making roads better.
A correspondent asks whether It
pays to move bees during the fall to
fresh fields. We do not think so. The
colonies would have to be moved quite
a distance, to be of any advantage.
This Is expensive. If the bees are do
ing fairly well, better keep them at
home.
Poultrymen have succeeded In pro
ducing a profitable general purpose;
hen. She Is a good layer, and she Is a
first class table fowl. The Plymouth
Rock comes as near Ailing the bill as
any.
Farmers see this season the Im
portance of studying means to combat
crop diseases and Insect pests. We
might as well make up our minds that I
plants are subject to diseases. We are !
trying our best to brat these diseases, 1
but growers must be alert and be ready
with the remedy.
Stacking of grain Is almost a lost
art. No wonder so many prefer to haz
ard the risk of ftmshlng from the
shock. Stacking grain is not hard
work, but it must be done right, or tin
bundles will slip and make all Kinds
of trouble.
USING THE CREAM SEPARATOR
There Is no question that the general
standard of farm made butter is high
er today than It has ever been before;
and. It la now conceded that at all the
Improvements which have helped te
bring this about, the cream separator
has been, by far, the most Important.
True there Is a large amount of nice
farm made butter that never seen *
separator, and there le a tremendous
amount that never ought to be called
butter. The reason why the standard
has been raised by the separator 1s that
anyone who takes sufficient Interest Us
dairy work to buy a separator will
likely leajn how to make good butter.
If dfie will do this the machlno win
pay for Itself every year. It is esti
mated that one can get fifty pound*
more butter per year from each cow,
when the separator Is used. One rea
son why separator cream makes thw
best butter Is that the creaming I*
d^me directly after milking, when the
milk Is In the best condition. When
buying a cream separator there are.
several things well worth observing;
Such ns capacity for close skimming,
ease of turning, and whether It Is eas
ily cleaned. One qjuat learn at what:
speed to run It to get the beat results;,
and. above all things, to legirn to turn
(t steadily. The safest guide la to fol

CREAMERY FURNISHES BUIX.
A Wisconsin creamery has worked'
out a scheme to show the value- of
a good dairy bred bull. In this psr
tlcular neighborhood there was s short
age of dairy sires and patrons war*
not Inclined to buy good bulla Th*
creamery bought a pure bred Guernsey
bull, of approved breeding. Slid is
oharglng a fee of $2 for the service of'
the bull. The work Is to be followed
up year after year, long enough, at
least, to Bhow patrons the valae of
well bred dairy sires. This breeding,
question has been neglected so long
that prominent dairy Interests ars
now taking hold of the work In a way
that will mean much to the dairy in
terests of the country.
DAIRY NOTES.
There Is no reason why calves (or any
other young animal) cannot be fed on
substitutes for mother’s milk, but It
stands to reason that substitutes must
be near enough to the mother’s milk,
and the actual needs of the calf. Us
cause no derangement of the dlgcstksa
of the calf. Nature Intended that young,
animals, such as calves or colts, should
get their first food as the milk of ths»
mother cow or raare. Now If we tako
the calf away from its mother and
compel It to drink something wbfdU
does not nourish or which It cannot
digest, of course there Is going to ha
trouble.
The feeder must consider all tHeoo
things. If too much skim milk Is given.
It Is apt to cause Indigestion. If th*
feeding Is done Irregularly there is sure
to be trouble; or If the milk stands too
long and gets cold there Is unother
chance for disturbance. But the moat
frequent source of scours Is the dirty
feed pall. Many dislike to handle young,
calves, and none of the above thing*
Is watched as carefully as Ittshoudd b*.
The success of calf raising depend*
upon doing the feeding sensibly. ' It ’
this Is done a case of scours will b* -
rare and the skim milk calf will give •
a good account of himself.
A correspondent says she cannot go*
her prints wrapped nicely In paper. Th* •
trouble, no doubt, Is that the paper la ■
not well soaked before putting arounf 1
the prints. One cannot wrap up a nlofc*
smooth package with dry paper.
Those who have tried both method)
say that they can make from $6 to IK
a year more, per cow, by using g
cream separator, over any system «t
hand skimming. At this rate It will
take a herd of ten cows very long t*
pay for a separator.
Many hesitate about testing their
cows, thinking that a costly outfit te
necessary for the work. Scales and a
Babcock tester is really all the outfit
needed. The scales need not cost more
than 12.50, and the tester will cost from.
14 upwards, depending upon the sire..
When too much butter is left In the
buttermilk the cause may be too high
temperature, or sweet and sour cream
may have been mixed Just before
churning; or this will occur sometimes,
if the churn Is too full.
It Is a pretty nice thing to know
just when cream Is In the best stage
for churning. The common way of
testing cream is all right, whep one has.
learned the correct taste. Slightly add
is the right stage for easiest churning.
Don’t crowd the churning. This Is
not a Job that will stand hurrying. The
lower the temperature of the cream
the better the grain of the butter, and
the larger the yield of butter, Ftor
best results the time for churning
should be not less than thirty minutes.
An Illinois creamery was aiosed a-,
few weeks ago because it could not get
deceni cream. There was plenty of -
cream furnished, the product of nearly
460 cows, but the majority of the pa
trons paid no attention to the cure at'
their cream. Good prices were puM.
but the best buttermaker cannot make
high grade butter out of many flavored,
cream.
Unless you are pretty sure of your
custoiners and you make a first class
article of butter, better send the cream
to the creamery if one is handy. Usual
ly creameries are anxious to get cream,
and they pay good prices the year,
around.
If you are not going to put up en
silage for winter feed, better lay In a
supply of routs to give succulence to
the ration. No one has ever been suc
cessful In keeping cows up to their
best by feeding exclusively on dry
feed during tm winter.
