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.”

BRICK SILOS.
In Use in Many Dairy Districts of
Wisconsin and Give Satisfaction.
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

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.
