Dairy Cow# ntnl Tlieir Feed.
I believe, says W. A. Brown in the
New York Tribune, there are many dis¬
couraged farmers, who for years have
been vainly trying to get out of debt,
who would find in a well managed dairy
their best opportunity. If the cream
can bc sold to a factory and the milk
kept at home the wife will he relieved of
the iabor of making the butter, but
with suitable apparatus and good help a
farm dairy of from ten to thirty cows
can be managed very comfortably, and
rather than sell the milk I would advise
that the butter bo made at home, for
•with the milk the heifer calves can be
raised to keep up the herd, and when
fed to pigs in connection with other
foods a pound of pork can be made fur
each ten to fifteen pounds of milk, and
this will pay for quite a percentage of
the food of tlie cows. After many
years of experience I recommend grade
Jerseys for the butter dairy. The best
way to start—particularly if short of
money—is to get a few good native cows
and a choice Jersey bull and begin grad
ing have up. rather As small a rule, most Jersey cows
teats, so it is well to
select tion large-tcated herd. cows for the founds
of your Fortunately Jersey
bulls can bo bought cheap, for the sup
ply is in excess of the demaud.
I believe it to be true aiso that grades
from three-quarters to seven-eights
Jersey dairy blond are as valuable for tlie
and as dairyman higher grades or in thoroughbreds, few
a can, a years,
raise a hord of grades that will produce
fifty better per cent, more of butter and of
tidice quality. There is a strong pro -
among farmers against this breed
because of their small size, but long ex
perience with both large and small cows
fed me to the conclusion that they eat in
proportion food of to their weight, and that the
support necessary for two cows
of 1200 pounds each is ample for three
of 800 pounds each, and on a much less
amount of food, with me, the small cows
will average more butter than the large
one. Two winters ago I fed in the same
stable large and small cows; last w ider
I luid all small Jerseys, and the differ
cnee in the quantity of food eaten was
quite noticeable. The idea that you
must get a herd of cows that will be
profitable for beef when you are done
milking them is erroneous, for often the
extra food they will eat during the years
of milking will cost twice what the
carcass will bring. The most satis¬
factory food I have ever used for dairy
cows, taking is cob-meal cost and and effect into ac¬

Strange Customs In Siam.
A report has been forwarded from
Bangkok the to the Foreign Office of a jour¬

of the members of the Sanam or court
house concerning the laws and customs
of Nan.

well, there having been no execution

four or five prisoneis at the time of their
visit.
With regard to slaves, every man of

must feed himself. No purchase money

the t.ist three days of our stay we wont
daily to see the cremation ceremonies,
which took place in the open space in
front of the palace, the chief and his sons

After the ceremony of throwing lines

ninety men, and carried out to a place
on the bank of a river, about a quarter

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
Steaming Food.
There are some housekeepers who are
fully alive to the value of a steamer as
a labor-saving machine in their kitchens,
and as an indispensable aid to good
coo ki n g, but there are many others who
do not realize its usefulness, and have
never had one in their houses. What
ever can be boiled can be steamed, and
when the process is completed and the
food di-hed, instead of having a pot or
saucepan to wash out, always a distaste
ful task, or a pudding cloth to rinse or
cleanse, there is only the clean, damp
strainer to be wiped dry, and the earthen
dish to be washed in which the food was
cooked; an enormous saving of trouble,
as any one will testify who has tried both
methods
Steamers may be purchased of all
styles and prices, from elaborate ones in
tiers, forming separate compartments in
which different viands can be steamed
at the same time, down to tiny ones useful to
fit on the top of the tea kettle. A
size is a plain, round one abcut twelve
inches high to fit over an ordinary iron
pot. The cover must be very tight to
retain the steam. Things that safely are
steamed cannot burn, and once
over a pot of boiling water, the hunied
housekeeper may dismiss them from her
mind. There is only one point to be
remembered: the water must never
cease boiling for a single instant, and
therefore the fire must not should be permitted be

the eye could reach to the
west, was one vast garden of flowers and
plants from April to November. There
must have been a hundred varieties of
wild, blooming plants, ranging from the
lowly strawberry, with its white blossom,
to the gaudy, flamboyant wild marigold,
whose oriental splendors gave vivid color
to miles and miles of undulating prairie,
“But this by the way. 1 started m to
