BURBANK’S SECRET OF SUCCESS.
| Infinite capacity for detail, hard work
and a wonderful fund of patience are
Ihe qualities which have contributed
j !o the success of Luther Burbank, the
•vizard of plant life, according to
' "eorge Wharton Janies In the August
Circle. Mr. JameB says:
| "Burbank's achievements with the
daisy are more fascinating than a fairy
Lale. From England, Japan, Germany,
| Australia—every where daisies grew—
ne got seed of the best varieties, not a
| few but hundreds, thousands. These
sere carefully planted and watched
I with closest care. They were all go
I ng to be slain, but out of their death
was to come a new daisy, larger, more
(leautlful, more hardy, and that would
flower In every climate perennially.
The result was his 'Bhasta' daisy, one
•f the most beautiful flowers ever seen
—of clear brilliant white, great size,
(he center of pure yellow resting upon
•lender yet strong stems. Ten thou
uind seeds required for this one ex
periment? Yes, and often the 10,000
lecome fifty or a hundred or five hun
dred thousand before he gets what he
■cants. It Is this large dealing that has
llfferentlated Mr. Burbank's plans
trom those of other men. He speedily
earned that great results are not to
?e obtained from Inadequate methods.
1’he 10,000 daisy seeds were only a
•tarter. Millions and millions of daisies
sere grown from those seeds, and it
was only after the experiments were
fompleted and the habits of the
•Shasta” permanently fixed that the
•xperlmcntal plants were destroyed.
"In his methods of working Burbank
« quick nnd decided. It was my prlvi
ege to be with him during one morning
n Ills proving grounds' at Sevastopol,
•ome seven miles from Ills home. Row
ifter row of young plum trees, covered
with fruit, stood before us. Two as
itstants were with us, one with a hand
til of white cords and one with a hand
til of brown or black ones. 'There are
<11 grown from the same seed. Now see
low they differ.' He picked a few
•luma from the first tree. Rapidly he ■
ooked nt one, carefully tested It, and!
inld, 'Kill.' I had scarcely got my j
•eeth Into the first plum when he was |
in to the next tree, and the next, and j
he next, with a rapidity that was slrn
jly astonishing. His keen eyes, trained
o scientific accuracy, saw at what
leemed to me to be one glance all the
Attributes of the tree. One taste sat-1
sfled him ns to texture, juiciness and [
lavor of the fruit, and thus, almost In i
t moment, he had decided whether that
ree was worth keeping for further ex
jerlmentutlon or was to go to the 1
•onflre. Almost as fast as 1 can write
t the words fell from his lips, 'Kill,’
Keep,' kill,’ 'Kill.’ 'Kill,’ Keep.’ The
ittendants followed, and put on the
vliite or black strings which denoted J
the fate of the particular tree.
"Luther Burbank’s early life In Call- 1
lornla was attended by many hard ex
•erlences. He was very poor and was
ibllged to take any work that came to I
land. He cleaned out chicken coops, I
lelped In market gardens, got an odd
ob here and another there, passed |
hrougli a very severe Illness, went 'on '
he tramp' for work, until finally he 1
vas able to start a little nursery on
ils own account. Then he was on his
>wn ground with a fair start. To out- j
qders he seemed an honest, hard-work- i
ng young fellow who might make his
(vlng, but not much more. Then, all
it once, he did something that made
hose who knew about It look at him.
Vn order came for 20,000 young prune
roes. Could he fill it In nine months?
de hadn’t a prune tree on his place. !
ind how was he going to supply 20,000
n nine months? Ho got together all
he men and boys he could find to ,
•lant almonds for him. They grow
apidly. When they were ready he
tad 20,000 prune buds ready for them,
tnd In a short time the prunes were
•udded Into the growing almonds and
•efnre the time was up the trees were
delivered to the delighted ranchman. ;
And I have seen these 20,000 prune
.roes. They are growing today, and
't Is really one of the finest orchards

FEEDING OFF CORN.
The scarcity of labor ami the ten
dency of those who work on farms to
demand all the “traffic will »ar" or
even more when It comes to husking
•om has a hearing on other ways to
get the ears from the husk. Steer feed
ers have In many cases turned the cat
,le Into the corn fields after getting
'hem used to the corn by cutting some
af It and giving It to them on the pas
tures. This requires that the fields he
fenced to keep In the hogs for the best
success, though It Is doubtful If cattle
will leave more than the man who Is
husking by the bushel, especially when
there are Stockers to turn In when the
feed gets low. In wet seasons there
would be some loss, but not so much as
those think who have not tried It.
Turning hogs Into the corn is prac
ticed by some and with much satisfac
tion. Too much feeding with green
corn Is decried from every quarter, yet
We have seen a mixed lot of sows and
pigs turned Into a field, part of which
was sweet corn when Just past the
“roasting ear” stage and never saw a
bunch of pigs do better. This same
man has frequently turned hogs Into
corn fleld.i and l as never had any
losses at that time. It may be a very
f t'I able use for a small field that Is
well fritted to annually plant it to an
cr.rly variety of corn and turn in the
i hogs when the time comes. Such a
I field may have a lot of pumpkins
planted with the corn and the feed
thus grown be secured very cheaply
I Fall pigs, of the cull sows could thus
| he fatted with great profits and the
I field would he kept fertile and the root
, lug of the hogs would keep the worms
I destroyed so that many crops of corn
i could thus be raised year after year on
the same ground. dVe have been trying
to carry out some such plan in our
own hog growing and cannot see why
^ It would not he a good way.

I SOME THOUGHTS ON MILKING
Milk is an animal product Just as
much as the flesh that we use as nwat
is animal product, and like flesh It un
dergoes deleterious changes; only that
these changes take place much more
readily In the milk because It Is not so
staple an article as the flesh.
Practically all these changes are due
to bacteria, and the less of the bacteria
that gets Into milk the longer It will
remain good. Therefore cleanliness In
the dairy Is a very Important point and
one that Is not given the attention by
the average farmer tnat it snould re
ceive, and more especially by the dairy
man who sells his milk In the cities
and towns to be used as milk. A very
great difference In the quality of the
milk can be brought about by a little
care and attention In keeping the
stables and cows clean, especially at
milking time. Another Important item
In securing a clean supply of milk Is
that It be properly strained as being
drawn from the udder or very soon aft
er, and where kept In the barn during
the time of milking the pall should be
covered. Theoretically, of the milk
could be drawn directly into a covered
pall It should be comparatively free
from bacteria, and In order to accom
plish this as well as to save much
time and labor In milking several milk
ing machines have been devised, but
so far all have been failures except one
recently, when a milking machine
known as the Burrell-Lawrence-Ken
nel cow mllkfr was put upon the mar
ket. This machine, as we understand
It, works by drawing the air from a
pall, much on the same principal as a
cafe sucking. The machine consists of
caps that flt over the teats Instead of
tubes that run up Into the teats and
these teat caps are attached to the pall
by means of rubber tubes. The air Is
pumped out of the pall, thus causing
a vacum and this draws the milk from
the teats, then by allowing the air In
the pall It checks the drawing on the
teat and after giving the teat time to
All It Is drawn out again, etc. According
to bulletin No. 17 recently Issued by the
Storrs’ agricultural experiment sta
tion. of Storrs, Con., this machine
promises to be a success, and If It does
It will not only deprive dairying of
much of the drudgery, but also fur
nish a much better class of milk, pro
vided the machine Is properly taken
care of. At first the milk drawn by the
machine was found to contain more
bacteria than that drawn by hand, and
It was discovered that this was part
ly due to faulty construction of the
machine and partly to the fact that the
machine was not properly washed and
taken care of, and when the machine
was properly adjusted and cleaned the
bacterial content of the milk material
ly lessened.
If the machine proves to be as prac
tical as It seems to be it will allow
the farmer to keep more cows with less
help and give him a better grade of
milk.
CONTAGIOUS OPHTHALMIA IN
CATTLE.
This Is a contagious Inflammation of
the eyes in cattle—commonly called
pink eye. While a majority of the cat
tle affected recover in from one to twq
weeks, sometimes the disease runs a.
more rapid course and the animal loses
the sight of one or both eyes. The dis
ease is usually carried from one herd,
to another by introducing a diseased1
animal into the herd, or some of tha
healthy herd getting mixed with th«j
diseased ones, and It spreads from onej
animal to another in the herd.
The first symptom Is a slight water-] I
iiig of the eyes, followed by a slight' !
swelling of the lids and cloudiness or i
the ball, which more or less rapidly in- ]
creases until the eye looks white. I
or bluish white, while it may have a. I
blood red appearance around the edges! |
In bad cases nearly the entire ball
will look red with only a small white
spot in the center. And the ball looks
as though it was pushed out. Later
becoming more or less pointed. In
these cases an ulcer Joins on the most
exposed and sometimes this will
eat through the walls and let thti
fluid escape, and this destroys the
sight, and occasionally this disease
terminates In a cancerous growth o{
the eye. • i
In others that recover retain a '
white scar of the ulcer. But th«
greatest loss Is from shrinks
age In flesh. In very mlhj
outbreaks, it does not inconvenlenc 1
the cattle very much but in the mord
severe cases there Is considerable loss
of flesh.
Treatment Is quite satisfactory If
taken in time, and consists In the ap
plication of Iodoform and boraclc aeldJ
This may be applied as a powder or aa
a salve, and In bad cases It Is often
advisable to use burnt alum with the
Iodoform and boraclc acid. If the cat
tle are gentle the easiest and best way
Is to take equal parts by weight of the
boraclc acid and Iodoform and dust It
Into the eyes twice a day by means of
an Insect powder gun, and In very se
vere oases one half part of powdered
alum added to and used with the other
will gtve the best results. If the rat
tle are Inclined to be wild and diffi
cult to handle, the best way Is to takq
equal parts by weight of the boraclq
acid and Iodoform and a half part oj
burnt alum and mix this with suffl-t
cient vaseline to make a soft salve,'
catch the animal and rub this salvt*
over the Inside of the lids; this should
be done once a day when practical, ami
if not every day, every other day dur
ing the worst stage. Cattle do better
If kept In the dark during the most
i active stage. 1

FADS AND FRILLS.

A new crepe de chine scarf In a deli
cate shade of blue Is made In stole ef
fect, reaching almost to the knees on
either side. A two-inch, heavy silk
fringe In the same shade makes a
charming finish and a novel touch Is
given this little scarf by the cute little
pockets, one on either end.
The millinery fad of the hour can be
described as a long ostrich feather that
circles the hat and droops In graceful
! fashion below the shoulders.
One of the new'est dress accessories
Is the set of sleeve bows that Is sold
with belts to match. These are gener
ally made of satin or mirror velvet, and
the latest shape Is that called rabbit's
ears. This Is on account of the two
i long pointed loops that finish these
| belts and sleeve garnitures.
The black velvet touch Is to be ultra
fashionable this winter, even the Jewel
ers make use of It for the mounting of
precious stones, these Jeweled bands
being worn at the top of the collar. For
low-necked gowns, the black velvet
band Is also used, and. In addition to
the Jewels, there Is a fine gold chain
arranged In graceful festoons.
A rather astonishing fad for the com
ing winter season la that of fastening
Jeweled butterflies so that they appear
to have alighted on the bare shoulder
of the wearer. This effect Is produced
by fastening the pin of the brooch
through a piece of flesh-colored court
plaster, which Is then moistened and
Norten herself. Directly the myster
ious powder was thrown Into the cru
cible «i quantity of smoke arose, the
sparks shot out and finally beautiful
white names burst forth and as quick
ly died down again. The temperatur ■
of 5,000 fahrenhelt employed, first
boiled the mixture and then baked It
until it became a hard mass of quartz.*
This quartz was dug out from the cru-.
clble by an attendant and after cooling
down, was broken Into pieces and dis
tributed among the audience. It re
quired rather a close Inspection to de
tect the littl? ruby pieces embodied in
the quartz, but they were there all thti
same, and can, according to the maker,
he fused together to make fair slzetj
stones.

dinary, the effect is rather pretty.
A large velvet bow makes a good sub
stitute for the theater hat. This is worn
between the pompadour and the coll
and is decorated with rhinestones, pro
ducing a glistening effect.
Large hats in velvet, the crowns of
which are entirely hidden by masses of
uncurled ostrich feathers, are decidedly

A very useful novelty is the purse

DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH.
Consuelo, duchess of Marlborough,
plainly is resolved her husband shall
I have no complaint against her on the
' score of indiscretion, says a writer.
Since her trouble with the duke she
has refused to stir abroad without a
duenna. As a matron of several years,
she is entitled to play chaperon her
self, but, instead, she Insists on hav
ing one. Friends of hers in New York
have received letters saying that,
though her health Is as robust as it ever
was. she seems for from happy. Per
haps if her ambitious mamma, when
she married her young daughter to
Marlborough early In the '90s, had fore
seen all the unhappiness the girl would
assume with that ducal coronet, she
would have hesitated to carry out what
many persons then condemned as a sac
rifice of little Miss Vanderbilt's future.
Duchess Consuelo finds solace, however,
in the companionship of her little sons,
the marquis of Blandford and Lord Ivor
Spencer Churchill. She and the boys
spent most of last month in the Villa
Mac ha Deauville, where she denied
herself to almost all visitors, confining
her attention well-nigh exclusively to
| the youthful noblemen.

USE Of'hENNA.
Henna may be applied in several
ways, but the simplest and easiest
method for the amateur is to use a tea
made of the leaves.
In preparing the tea. use an ounce of
leaves to a quart of water and boll
the whole down to one pint.
The stain should be applied to the
roots of the hair with a small brush.
Next, with an ordinary hair brush,
distribute the henna through the hair.
Care must be taken to spread the stain
evenly, or the coiffure th^next day will
be covered with a succession of red
dish streaks.

ble and Bladder Weakneti Though
Harmleno aad Pleasant to Take.
What will appear very Interesting
to many people here is the article
taken from a New York daily paper,
fiving a simple prescription, as formu
lated by a noted authority, who claims
that he has found a positive remedy
to cure almost any case of bachacbe
t>r kidney or bladder derangement, in
tbe following simple prescription. If
taken before the stage of Bright’s dis
ease :
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-balf
»unce; Compound Kargon. one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
uunces. Shake well In a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known authority, when asked
regarding this prescription, stated that
tbe Ingredients are all harmless, and
can be obtained at a small cost from
any good prescription pharmacy, or the
mixture would be put up If asked' to
do so. He further stated that while
this prescription is often prescribed In
rheumatic afflictions with splendid re
sults, he could see 110 reason why It
would not be a splendid remedy for
kidney and urinary troubles and back
1 ache, as it has a peculiar actiou upon

most Important organs and helping
them to sift and filter from the blood'
the foul acids and waste matter which

TO PROTECT CHINA.
| As soon as china Is bought and before II
Is used. It should be placed In a vessel of
cold water, each piece being separated
from the other by a little hay or torn
newspaper. Gradually heat the water un
til It nearly bolls and then let It become
cold. Remove the china from the water
and wipe. This treatment will render the
china much less liable to crack than If
used before being boiled.

LOVE’S CROWN.
T said. “If love were mine, if on my heart
And on my brow his roses I might wear,
I would not fear, I would not feel the
smart
Of hurting thorns, if thorns Indeed were
there;
me but love, and be loved again.
Over life’s fret and trouble I would rise.
Crowned queen of happiest kingdom;’’
Pleading so.
I strove with wiser fate • • • I did
not know
That love could come with anguish in
his eyes,
Vnd in the passion of his yearning kiss
Si-1row. more pass.onate than passion
is—
3r nging not roses, cruel thorns instead
To rest forever on my heart and head.
