WHY SHE WAS THANKFUL. Little One Had Reason to Approvt Father’s Choice. Of the sisters of a well-known New York family one is married. She has one little girl greatly petted by all the aunts and subject to much advice from all of them. Of this last the lit tle lady sometimes wearies, which weariness on a certain occasion made itself shown in the following reply from her small ladyship: Said one aunt: "If you were my child 1 should have you do thus and thus.” Said another aunt: “Were yo t my child I would do so and so." The remaining aunt made a similar r* mark. The little lady though.t it high time to express her own feelings. "But I have.” she said, “always been so thankful that papa married the sister he did!” ALMOST A SOLID SORE. Skin Disease from Birth—Fortum Spent on Her Without Benefit— Cured Her with Cuticura. “I have a cousin in Rockingham Co who once had a skin disease from her birth ud‘Jl she was six years of age Her father had spent a fortune on her to get her cured and none of the treat ments did her any good. Old Dr. suggested that lie try the Cuticura Remedies which he did. When lie com menced to use it the child was'almost a solid scab. He had used it about two months and the child was well. 1 could hardly believe she was the same child. Her skin was as soft as a baby's without a scar on it. I have not seen her in seventeen years, but I have heard from her and the last time 1 heard she was well. Mrs. \V. P. Ingle Burlington, N. C., June IG, 1905.” Proving the Point.

On a recent trip through the heart of the dairy section of Wisconsin, I found the brick silo very much in evi dence. t Some of them have stood for sev eral years and are giving the best of satisfaction. They neither freeze, shrink, swell, blow down, or rot out, and keep the silage perfectly. They are made with a double wall of brick with a dead air space between. The inner wall of brick is strengthened by laying in a circle of steel every ; two feet. This gives it great strength. They are plastered on the inside with cement. The most of these silos set in the ground from four to six feet. The part of the ground is made of stone. I found no one that would recommend building them more than 1G feet in diameter but would build as high as convenient, say 30 to 36 feet above ground. If a larger one than this is desired all seem to agree that it would be better to build two. The old tub silo was good in its day and is very good yet, but silos have passed the experimental stage now and silo builders are looking for something more induring and more substantial. I believe the brick one has come to stay. In a tall silo there is a great outward pressure and any thing to stand has to be made very strong. A few cement silos are being built and perhaps in time there will be those that have gained the experi ence that will enable them to build perfectly, says the Northwestern Agri culturist. At present one complaint with the concrete wall silo is they .An not run the walls true enough: so that the silage settles and leaves an air space where the silo crowns out and the silage will mold. Great care should be taken in building a concrete silo to have the walls •per fectly perpendicular so the silage will hug tight to tbe sides and leave no air space. BUYING OR RAISING COWS. The Wise Farmer Will Raise His Calves. Tlie practice of raising cows rathet than selecting them from the herds of others is to be commended. One of the prominent dairymen of the El gin district in Illinois, says Farmers' Review, has for a long timo followed the practice of going out into tho country and buying the best cows he could find, milking them through one lactation and then selling them to the butchers. He said it was a paying investment that was all ne was looking for. We are glad to know that this dairyman has abandoned this course and is now raising calves from his best cows. tie says that the other practice has been carried on for so many years that it is now difficult to find the good cows to buy and that if a man wants good cows he must raise them. This is the only course that will con stantly Improve the quality of our dairy herds. From year to year good cows will increase in number in the herd of the man that is always selling off his poorest cows and Is raising calves from his best cows to take the place of the poor cows of which he disposes. Take Good Care of It. Remember the cow is a machine which transforms feed that, the dairy man cannot eat into milk and butter which he can consume. It should also he remembered that it is not possible to put musty and tainted feed into this machine and receive pure and Wholesome milk therefrom. Feed Dairy Cows Libera!.y. The dairyman should never forget that about 60 per cent, of all the cow san eat is required to suatiia bar nnd only after this amount ia provided can there be any re*.Lvua is rim. MILLET SEED FOR COWS. If Boiled It Makes a Good Feed for Milk. A subscriber from Kiowa, la. wishes to know whether boiled millet seed is good for cows in milk; sec ond, whether it is good for young calves fed along with separated milk, and third, if it is good for hogs, lie also asks for any information that may be given with reference to feed ing it. If the millet seed is boiled until it is soft and is fed on some cut fod der it will answer quite well to leed it thus to cows, but cooking it is cost ly. answers Prof. Thomas Shaw, in Orange Judd Farmer. It is better to teed it in the torni of meal, and, ii possible, along with bran. But millet seed ground will be all right fed it moderate quantities with alfalfa. . It will also answer to cook it and feed it to calves along with separa tor milk. The oil in it will help t< make up in the cream removed from the milk. As soon, however, as th< calves will eat dry meal the simplest plan is to grind the millet and feed it along with bran, or ground oats preferably the former, until the calves are, say two or three months old about half the meal feed may b« ground millet when the other hall is bran. For swine, millet has about the same feeding value as barley, bushel for bushel. Ground and soaked it goes well with a diet of skim milk foi young pigs, or alfalfa or clover pas ture for pigs that are older. It is al so a good fattening food, but if mixed with other meal that is suitable, the pigs will not tire of it so quickly. Millet seed ground is a suitable food for horses, young or old. It is fully equal to oats in maintaining muscular strength. It is better tq feed it along with oats than to feed it alone. The oats make it more easily penetrated by the juices of the stomach. Millet seed should not he fed to any class of domestic animals in tho unground form, unless it be to sheep and fowls. The seeds are small and hard, and when thus fed many ol them are not crushed and so escape digestion. KANSAS CALF FEEDER. Device Which Simplifies the Care o the Young Animals. Mv neighbor uses this device foi feeding young calves, writes a Kan sas correspondent of the Kansai Farmer. It consists of a 12-inch New Use for Creeks. Explanation: A Is < ro< k, B is hinge. C ia stanchion, 1> lioolc to hold up hoard which contains crock, E Is manner. hoard with holes sawed in it one and one-half feet apart, and big enough to hold a ga'4'i crock. The crocks are held In place by small pieces of strap iron bent as in Fig. 1. Fig. 2 shows an end view’ of device in place. STRIPPINGS. Separate good rich cream, thee churn ’* at a low’er temperature. Have all pails, crocks, cans and dairy utensils scalded and clean. Clean cream, cold cream, and rich cream are the three words which tell the secret, of producing sweet cream. Have the cows come fresh in Sep tember and October, and receive 25 to 30 cents per pound for the butter fat in winter instead of 15 to 20 cents in summer. Nature’s inexorable law that like produces like’" works all tho time. The heifer calf from a good milking family on both sides is the valuable cow in the future. Tlie buttermaker’s pathway is not always strewn with roses either. Per haps you as a patron of the creamery should talk those matters over with him before kicking so hard about them. Milk is used raw, while most all other food products are cooked in some way. The very fact that milk is a raw food should stimulate those engaged in its production to the great est possible care. Never put warm cream and cold cream together. Use separate cans. Don’t say you can’t afford it. You are in the dairy business every day in the year, if conducted properly there is money enough in it to buy all the necessary tools. A Good Cow. One dairyman has figured it out that a good cow will produce butter for about seven cents a pound. All that for which the butter is sold is clear profit. The seven cents in cludes a reasonable consideration for the dairyman’s time in milking, car ing for the milk and churning the butter. To Ring a Bull. To ring a bull the simplest instru ment to use ia a trocar and cannula. Push the instrument through, remove the trocar and insert the end of the ring in the hollow cannula, the ring will then easily come through. The instrument can be obtained for about 75 tents. REHEARSAL IN A CAR. Professional Entertainer Was Almont Too Successful. “The other night, coming home in the car,” said the professional enter tainer. "I began to wonder if 1 could bring tears to my own eyes as I do to the eyes of the other people. I tried. I thought of all the wrongs I had committed, and felt sorry for peo ple I had wronged, i thought of all the mistakes I had made that other people had profited by and pretty soon the tears began to gather in my eyes and roll down my cheeks. "1 forgot there were other people in the ear who might notice me. Soon a woman got up from across the car and came to me. - 'I see, sir,' said she, ‘that you are in some trouble. Can 1 do anything to it el)) you?’ "’Lord bless you, no. madam.' I told her. hastily wiping away my tears, ’I am a professional entertainer and was practicing on myself. That’s all.’” Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beau ty. Home laundering would be equal ly satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work Flow of Artesian Well. To calculate the rate of flow of an artesian well a simple plan is to lower a bottle of aniline fluid to a depth of say 500 feet and then electrically ex plode a cap to burst the bottle. The time required for the fluid to appear at the surface gives an accurate gauge as to the velocity of flow. It is claimed that this method gives results as ac curate as a weir. The diameter of the pipe being known, the rate of flow readily follows. Tho extraordinary popularity of fine white goods tills summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great im- j portance. Defiance Starch, being free I from all injurious chemicals, is tho 1 only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great, strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect j finish, equal to that when tho goods were new. It isn’t difficult to size the average man up, but women are built so quoer lv it is impossible to get their actual measure. That an article may be good as well as cheap, and give entire satisfaction, is proven by the extraordinary sale of Defiance Starch, each package con taining one-third more Starch than can he had of any other brand for the same money. If a man is incompetent he usually charges it to bad luck.
