\ > DAIRY NOTES. The feed that produces milk does not produce fat. , Wasted butter-fat In a serious IORH and cuts Into the profits unmercifully. ; The separator cuts down the cost of delivery , thereby Increasing the profit , ' . It is a shame to ask n cow to make milk and butter-fat without proper . feed. i The calves that are kept growing from the very start have the best chance. ' In dairying as In everything else , If undertaken , bo a good ono or keep out entirely. . The dairy cow Is fed today and to morrow the cash product Is In the milk pall. Good butter cannot bo made out of r ybad. Butter Is a thing that cannot bo inucli Improved. ' Dairy cattle breeders all over the ( United States are appreciating the lvalue of advertising. : The vicious cow Is always disliked , [ but nine times out of ten aho Is the { result of careless handling. f The use to which the farmer puts { lils skimmed milk Is a large factor In determining the profits of the dairy. ' Milk as it comes from the healthy cow Is strictly pure , but it is a very imppy homo for all kinds of germ life. ' Dairy cows are expensive. The profit able 'way to keep the herd up Is to raise the calves from the best milkers. ' Dairy products are condensed prod ucts , hence the cost of marketing Is less and the profits are proportionally larger. The separator Is a clarifler of the .milk , but It cannot take the place ol .careful methods In producing and straining. ' ' The by-products of the cow , skimmed milk and butter milk , are worth more In raising pigs and calves than for any other possible purpose. / It "pays to strip the cows. A recent 'experiment ' showed that the stripplngs are unquestionably the most valuable 'part of the milk. Further than this , the cow that Is not stripped does not hold up as well In her milk flow. HAND MILK TESTING OUTFIT Directions Usually Accompany Equip ment So That Little Trouble Is Met In Making Tests. The outfit shown In the Illustration Is sold complete. Directions usually accompany them so thnt no trouble will bo experienced In malting satis factory tests. The outfit consists of a machine In which bottles are whirled nt a high speed. The bottles arc grad uated so the percentage of fat can bo read on the neck of the bottle , writes C. H. Alvord In Missouri Valley'Farm er. There is also a pipette In which , mllk can be accurately measured and , a glass In which an equal quantity of sulphuric acid used in testing can bo poured. The Important thing In ma- 1dng the test Is to secure a fair sam ple of the milk or cream. This maybe bo done by pouring the milk from ono A Milk Testing Outfit. Into another or by stirring It up thoroughly. When the sample of -.milk or cream has been prepared for { testing and placed In the testing bot- tie. this bottle is put In the tester and 'whirled for four or five minutes. Later a second rotation of about one minute ia given and the reading of the test , may then bo taken. BREAKING COWS OF SUCKING Oklahoma Dairyman Has Sure and Simple Method Animal Can Eat and Drink as Usual. ( By J. C. DRNISON. OKLAHOMA. ) Hero Is a sure and simple way to fceop a cow from sucking herself : Get fi hollow perforated bit , put It in her . mouth with a strap of proper length to pass from one end of the bit behind , the horns or polo In front of the ears and fasten It to the other end of the 'bit. If the bit cannot be procured , a piece of No. 11 smooth wire , loosely twisted , wlro doubled , will answer. 'The theory Is this : The wind passing ithrough the bit of wlro keeps the cow Ifrom drawing any milk. She can eat and drink water nil right. Do not have the Btrap too tight , or the cow's jniouth will get sore , especially If wire In used. Richest Milk at Noon. According to some experiments noted by the department of agri culture It was found that where cows arero milked three times a day , morn ing , noon and evening , the milk was richest at noon and poorest In the morning , and when milked morning and evening the milk wna slightly .richer In the ovenlug. FACTS ABOUT DAIRY BREEDS Holctelns , Ayrshlrcc , Guernseys and Jerseys All Possess Excellent Characteristics , Thcro Is no boat breed for nil lo calities , rind even In any particular lo cality It is oftentimes difficult to say which is the best breed. In general It tuny be said that for dairy purposes any of the dairy breeds arc superior to the beef or dual purpose breeds. This is true In any or all localities. It cannot bo said , nowcvcr. with the same degree of positlvoncss which of the dairy brce Is Is the best By dairy breeds are meant Holsteln , Ayrshire , Guernsey end Jersey. Each of these breeds has certain characteristics which mnko It adaptable to certain conditions The Jersey Is the smallest and least adaptable for beef of any of the dairy breeds. The calves ore small at birth , and do not grow fast , which makes thorn undesirable for veal. The Jur- soy gives , perhaps , the richest milk of the dairy breeds. The 'Jersey Is the earliest maturing of any. Some heifers have been known to calve before Famous Holsteln Cow. reaching the nge of fourteen months. Jerseys arc noted for the persistence with whichthey , yield milk. Cases arc on record where cows have given milk for years with only one calf. One cow gave milk for five years without freshening but once. Jerseys will make a greater amount of butter fat out of the same amount of food than will any qtbjjr breed. The Guernseys are very similar to the Jerseys in size , form and general characteristics. They are larger , a little coarser and a little more beefy. The milk Is yellower , but not quite so rich. To offset this , however , they will give more milk , which makes the total amount of butter fat practically the same for the two breeds. They are not so persistent In their milking qual ities , but are somewhat better breed ers than the Jerseys. The Ayrshires are about the same size as the Guernseys , namely 1,000 to 1,100 pounds for mature cows. They have been developed In Scotland , where the land Is rough and the pas tures scanty. Consequently we flnd that they are the hardiest and the best rustlers of any of the breeds They also carry more natural flesh than the Jerseys and Guernseys , which makes them more suitable for beef , aud also for crossing with beef breeds. Ayrshires give more but thinner milk than the Jersqys and Guernseys. Their milk Is adapted for retail trade and cbeeseimiklng. The Holsteins are the largest of any of the dairy breeds. The calves are largo at birth and make good veal. The color Is black to pure white , vary ing from almost pure black to pure white. The Holsteins give by far the most milk , and it Is the thinnest milk of any breed , whether beef or dairy.

PROPER CARE OF ENSILAGE Accompanying Drawing Fairly Illus trates Right and Wrong Methods of Emptying Silo. Many a man has learned by experi ence that silage is less likely to freeze when properly removed from the silo. The accompanying drawing fairly Illustrates the wrong and right method of emptying u silo. In flguro H the silage has been removed from the center and allowed to remain higher about the walls. Obviously this method Induces frost to gather a Method of Removing Silage. thick layer of silage to the wall. When the silage Is removed as Indi cated In flguro A the center Is kept the highest and thereby prevents the accumulation of frozen silage about the edges. A thin layer or thickness of silage is much more liable to freeze than Is a largo body of the succulenco. Care of Skim Milk. Aim to give as much attention to the care of the skim milk as to the cream or butter. If butter Is raado at homo the sarro care should bo given to the buttermilk. The sklru milk and buttermilk may not bo di rectly sold for money , yet when Judi ciously fed to pigs , poultry and calves ! they , nmy represent nearly one-half the dairy prollta. Permit No Tobacco In Dairy. No smoking or chewing of tobacco should bo permitted while the milking ; is being dono. The odor of the weed I IB quickly absorbed by the sensitive At the Beautiful Gate By REV. C. A. S. DWIGHT , Ph. D. Toronto , Can. The lomo man of old was laid dally at the gate of the temple which la. called "Beautiful. " The gate BO described < scribed was probably the gate on the cast which led from "tho court of the women" to the Inner court. While the other gates wcro overlaid with gold , and silver this portal , according to , Josephus , was niado "of Corinthian bronze , and much surpassed In worth' those enriched with silver and gold."i The lame man was perhaps ono of the most unfortunate Individuals In Jeru salem , having no moans of earning n livelihood , being qulto friendless and certainly forlorn yet he was well placed. ! The situation at the door of the tcmplo was both pathetic and prom islng. Ho could not walk In , but hlr thoughts could enter ; ho might noi Join In the praises of the worshipping ' hosts within , but ho could catch sonv thing of the enthusiasm which bright ened their faces as they came out While ho was outside the circle o , Inner , intimate communion ho wai yet in the line of blessing and could make dally proof of the fact that \ . was better to bo a lame doorkcoput In the house of God than to dwell luxuriously In the court of a rlotloiuj Ilcrod. It is Impossible to tell how purd wcro the motives of the lame man 1 * . habitually frequenting the door stc ] of the Lord's house. Ho was certain ly after money but If all who an after money In some shape wcro ex eluded from the sanctuary congregii' tlons today would bo much thinner , than In many communities they arc. To a degrco the lame man needed" coin , and to a certain extent every man needs It , but If his thoughts ana desires had been wholly centered upl on money It Is not likely that Peteij and John would over have been at ! tracted to him , or been empowered by the Lord to work in his case n , miraculous cure. Let us suppose that the lame man had some sincere Inter ) est In the temple Itself as well as in the tolls which ho colllectcd from thq charitable , and that , while not indlf ! feront to the silver and the gold , hi } cared most of all for the spiritual mes sage which such men as Peter auj John had to give. | It was a fine thing then that the lame man got as far as the Beautiful Gato. Rich or poor , men alike need in their lives the beautifying touch , and hard prosaic lives need It most of all. Even If the lame man could not enter the temple recesses ho could look up and admire the architectural ) beauty about him , and the gleam ofi that Corinthian bronze brought oj touch of brightness Into his life. The : .teranlum plant In the window of the ] city tenement , the tree struggling for ) stunted growth In a city street , allj these are glimpses and gladdenings of the esthetic sense the sense foi ; color , for proportion , for harmony ; which , often degraded to a godles ? "art , " are yet susceptible of serving , when purified and Idealized , the high est alms of the moral nature. The ) lame man was deformed In himself ] but he was transformed by his dally ] look Into the face of the beautiful above him. All men , however athletic or vigon ous or full of pride , are at ijomo point weak are somewhere In their belnc lame and Impotent and In need o | alms , or of a spiritual uplift far bet I ter than alms. There are beautlfu\ \ gates unto which we all alike need to come. God has made , not one not ; two nor six , as in the tcmplo of old , but many such portals , In different parts of the pilgrim country of mortal sojourn , opening Into fair reaches of truth and broad areas of higher exi pericnce. There Is first the Beautiful Gate o Faith. If the lame man had not In some degree had faith ho would nolj have received from the miracle world Ing apostles what was better than alms now health and strength and what was better than physical health , and quickening the recreating of bla spiritual manhood , the renovation oi his moral nature. Without faith It In Impossible to please God , or to get anything worth while done. He who would bo successful In this life must bo much at the Gate of Faith. There Is secondly the Gate of Pray er. Prayer Is faith's voice. Faith finds Its expression through prayer. The prayerless man Is always essentially a weak and resourceless man. The larao man was weak , but he knew how to use his voice In prayer , and so ho did not remain weak. There Is the Bqautlful Gate of Love. The lame man appealed to the lova that was In Peter and John , and did not fall to receive a response. Lova is the very atmosphere of that land of delight Into which the Gate Beau tiful opens. When love dominates and permeates a human life heaven itself at once begins to bo realized on earth. There is always In love an Inherent beauty , nn indescribable charm , and just because it Is so thq devil tries hard to disseminate the spirit of hate , which leius to pull down and destroy all Gates beauti ful everywero. Be sure to bo often at the Beautiful Gate not that which long ago fell * Into ruin at Jerusalem but that ) which , even for the lowliest and lamest - mest , offers Its Invitation of spiritual blfsslng , and promises a hope and healing both heavenly and forever.

She was a little fairy of seven , with eyes like diamonds and hair like spun gold , and she was romping with a half dozen playmates. Touching a fine- looking youngster on the shoulder , she challenged him with , "You can't catch mo. " Off they started , she twist ing and dodging with the dexterity of a half-back on a football team , and ho following her every movement In close pursuit. The excitement of the chase made her scream with laughter. The little fugitive finally brough up against a fence , breathless and pant ing , and her pursuer , throwing his arms about her , shouted : "Thcro , I've caught you ! " "Oh , yes , " gasped the little fairy , "but It wan 'cause my laugh broke and I couldn't run any more. " A Dirge. She laid the still white form beside those which had gone before ; no sob no sigh forced Its way from her heart throbbing ns though it would burst. Suddenly a cry broke the stillness of the place ono single heart-breaking shriek ; then silence ; another cry ; more silence ; then all silent but for a guttural murmur , which scorned to well up from her very soul. She left the place. She would lay another egg tomorrow. Princeton Tiger. $100 Reward , $100.
