SUNDAY MORNING. Milkin ' a Profit. The surest way to make a profit is to itsep down the cost. There should be no hesitation in procuring that which is needed, but waste should not be allow ed. The cost may be lessened by doing all the work at the prop r time and by the use of the best implements. D;irv St* ck. The writer practices brushing t*9 cows daily. No tilth is allowed to re main on their sides or tdders. It causes discomfort to the cows, and it is impossible to get-sweet milk or make good butter if the cows are filthy. No harsh words or loud talking should be practised—all should be as quiet as possible, if boisterous language is used the cows will net give their us ual supply of milk; this has been of ten demonstrated. The stables should be cleaned (daily and absorbents furn ished liberally, so that all valuable ma terial may be saved. All the little de tails must be observed faithfully to bs successful.—C. W. Kellogg, in the Epitomist. ltilns the Skim Milk Ca'f. The rapid introduction of the hand separator is the feature of the times in the dairy Industry. It is largely solving the question of getting good skim milk for calf raising, as well as having several other important ad vantages. Warm. sw r eet skim milk, separated within a few minutes after being drawn from the cow, is in the best possible condition for the calf, snd by observing the points mentioned in this bulletin, and as practised by the most successful dairymen, little trouble will be had in raising as good alves as are raised in any way. The majority of those producing cream or butter tor sale insist on some means ef raising the calf satisfactorily, and the hand separator seems to till the want better than any other system. Importance of Keeping Pails Clean— One of the most common causes of sickness in hand raised calves is feed ing from dirty pails or cans. Every utensil which comes in contact with milk to be used for feeding should be kept clean and scalded as thoroughly as though the food were to be used for the owner's family. A good rule is to keep the calf pails as clean as the milk pails. In feeding grain, no more should be fed than will be eaten up clean. If grain is allowed to remain in a trough it often becomes damp and partly decayed, and may cause sick ness just as a dirty pail will often do. —Missouri Experiment Station, Bul letin No. 57. Clean Wafer for S\rin*. The value of clean water for swine cannot be appreciated by one who has not tried both pure and impure drink ing water with them. In swine raising we have come to realize that rapid growth on good, clean, sweet food pays much better than raising them slowly on filtay swill ar.d garbage. Tho clover and hay fed uogs, topped off with corn an.l skim-milk, pay bet ter by far than any of tho swine ifaise 1 in the pen where filth and mire make up their environment and taint all their food. The hog may have a pret ty good digestion, but it is possible to injure it in time if we continue to feed it with bad food. T.iat is practi cally what has been done for years past, and we have produced swine dis eases, and, what is probably ,ess im portant, slower growing hogs. To make the animals continue growing in a thrifty condition we must feed them good, wholesome for, 1 under proper sanitary surroundings. Now. water plays a most important part in the health of all animals. We must take a certain amount of liquid into the stomach to keep u in good condition. The modern clover fed hog and corn fattened pig do not get as much liquid in their food as tne old swill fed animal, and it is necessary to supply the creatures with wtiler to make up for the deficiency. Clean water purifies the system and washes out the stomach, tending to disinte grate and carry away the solid matter that may accumulate in the stomach, impure, filthy water clogs the system more, and often causes intestinal irri tation. The hog will apparently drink filthy water just as rcadi.y as pure water, and this has ierl some to think that it mattered little whether (.lean or dirty drinking water was supplied. But it is contrary to all tea'.lings of sanitary science, and we have but to examine two hogs raised on clean ar.d filthy water to see the dlff rence.-Con sumers of pork are becoming more critical each year, and they can read ily detect the flavor of inferior, filth produced pork from clean, sweet, wholesome melai. Massachusetts Pioughman. Profifab’e Dallying. Usually it may be said that the most profitable form of farm is that branch which requires the strictest attention, intelligence and hard work. This is because comparatively few are willing to pay the price for the success, anci consequently the market is not over stocked with the products. But there are, of course, many ir. these difficult branches of farming who do not make hard work of them, nor do they make a profitable success cf it. There is no work on the farm that should occupy the attention and in telligence of the farmer more than dairying, and. as a rove, this pays bet ter profits than most others, but only in proportion to the price paid. Some- 1 times dairying is not profitable, sim ply because the man carries it on too small a scale. In order to secure the best results, the work should be on a large scale, for then many conven iences can be afforded which are net possible on the small dairy. If one is to select this branch of agriculture for a living, he should have as many cows as he can properly feed and han dle. There should boa definite relation ship between the size c f the farm and number of cows, but where land is high and difficult to get. modern meth ods of intensive farming should be fol lowed to make the products as large as possible from the land. Also it is well on such farms to adopt winter dairying. This pays the, best where the farm is near a large market, and where land i3 high priced. It is cheap er to summer tha fows than to winter them, but by making taem produce well in winter, when milk, cheese ard butter are at their highest, we get large returns for the food. One should make it a business then to farm the land intensively through the summer, mb king it. produce several crops for winter feeding. One could learn a few good points in this respect frem the market gardeners near citiss, who fertilize and cultivate their land continually, so that two and some times three heavy crops arc taken from the farm in one season. By such methods the dairyman who tried win ter dairying could raise more food and get more profits from his work- —E. P. Smith, in American Cultivator. . Science of I’lowiui;. In all soils there is a large proportion of the elements that enter Into the growth of plants, but these substances exist in forms which render them only partially available for use. When the | plow is allowed to go only to a certain ! depth every year the loss of fertility j is in the first six inches of the soil, j Below- this shallow depth is a mine of wealth which is at the disposal of the farmer if he will appropriate it to his use. So steadily have farmers adhered to the rule of farming that on some farms the plow runs along the bottom of the furrow as though passing and tattling over stone. It is the hard pan which creates this sound, and it has been made hard by the farmer himself, who has allowed his team to trample every square foot of earth at the bottom of each furrow year after year while turning up the top soil. The | subsoil or hard pan becomes harder I every year, and consequently it be | comes more and more impervious to | water, air and warmth. The top soil j alone is compelled to provide plant food, although there is an abundance below. The breaking of the ground for a crop, which is considered but a “matter of form” on the farm. Is really the most important duty performed, and the work should be done with judgment and with the view of im proving the soil conditions. To turn up the cold subsoil certainly is not, desirable, nor would it prove beneficial at the start, but the work should be domj gradually. If the plow is sent dowiWnly half an inch deeper each year the depth of the top soil will Increase to four inches in eight years, j While the soil from below will not J add to the fertility of the top soil the | first year, yet it will gradually change in characteristics, and give up planl food as readily as the; -op soil, for the reason that by being reduced to a fine condition the heat, air, moisture, acids, and alkaline* exert chemical effects, which change its composition entirely. It also becomes capable of absorbing the liquid fertilizer from the manure which may be applied on the soil, as the rains dissolve out the soluble mat ter and carry it down. Where this soluble fertilizer only reaches the depth of the six inches of top soil it now goes lower, saturating the half inch of pulverized hard pan. assisting to change it chemically and converting it into rite same conditions as the top soil. It is by gradually reaching down ■into the hard pan for more soil and more plant food that the farmer de rives the stored wealth beneath the surface, and when the soli has been mellowed to the depth of a foot by thus encroaching on the hard pan it will retain more moisture than former ly, while the work of plowing will be taster, as the land will turn over and crumb.e more readily because of an improvement in its mechanical con dition. There is also such a thing as put ting the plants at work in improving the soil. Every time the hard pan is encroached upon it opens more for the pencyaation of the roots and plants. not refer to the tap roots or ! -X St"- which sometimes endea vor J '*9 hard pan to de rive food, but to the roots that feed in the surface soil. Instead of being confined to a depth of six inch es they will have seven or eight inch es or more, according to the depth of the hard pan invaded, and when the crop is removed there will be a mass of roots left in the soil, and to a great er depth that; before, which is so muchfl fertility remaining in the soil for the next season. If the subsoil plow is also used, in addition to plowing an inch deeper, the hard pan will be brok en up to a greater depth without turn ing it to the surface, but the plowing up of half an inch or an inch of the subsoil, and adding it to the top soil, exposes it more directly to the action of iqoisture, air and warmth, and the ■farmer does not injure his top soil in any manner. If air-slaked lime is ap plied to the soil after it is plowed, and the land is then well harrowed, es- j pecsaliy in the fall season, it will prove of much benefit to the land while the i surface soil is being deepened, as it j produces both a chemical effect and a mechanical action, which hasten the process of bringing the soil to tne de- j s’ifci condition. —Philadelphia Record.

A Rus sian grand duchess had made for her in Paris recently for her trousseau an evening gown of pink velvet, copied by the couturier from a picture of Queen Maria Leczinska. It was em broidered by hand in 3ilver thread and strass. Another was of ivory crepe de ! chine, with a stole of priceless Vene tian guipure, pointed fichuwise at the back. A sumptuous teagown was also of white crepe de chine, with a stole of chinchilla and encrustations of exqui site Irish point. A dress for morning wear was of clan plaid, bloused in fiont. The neck was finished with a fiat trimming of black satin, con tinued down each side of the vestt ! was a frilled front of ivory tinted lace between. A Smart l&*incot. A stuuning driving coat, rain-proof, seen recently at a tally-ho party, was of olive green covert cloth, cut with a triple cape strapped on the edges with a high up-standing crimson velvet col lar. Over the edge of this collar there was a strap of the cloth held down by a large gun-metal button. The front edge of the lowest cape was held down in a similar manner by two buttons. This simple uevice holds the cape in place and prevents it from whipping mound the cheeks of the pretty wearer. The sleeves were full and gat.iered into a band which fastened with a met al button, * Within a few inches of the wrist there was a curved strapping on the sleeve. The coat, was lined throughout with rich crimson taffeta. A black picture hat of rough straw formed an effective finishing touch to the chic outfit. An Animal alnter,M> > alnter , M M'nrii*!*.

Women a Student* of Fnclinli. The remarks of a distinguished ! American professor on women as stu ! dents of English literature as quoted i in The Delineator will be interesting j to instructors and students, both men | and women. "In seminary work the j papers of the women are always with out exception superior to the men’s: the best man’s paper never equalled : the best woman’s paper. In fact, 1 ; never had a really able paper from ; young men, except in three cases. I think literature teaches that wherever there is a spiritual element women excel. So far as English literature : goes, it is scarcely worth while to | teach most men. When they come j here very few can speak good English. • Five hundred words constitute their average vocabulary. A large propor | tion of the men In the general courses flounder about for years with no aim or object beyond barely getting a di ploma at the end, which amounts to nothing. They think more of atheltics than of literature; of sprawling in the mud at football, and the mud seems to strike in and affect their souls. Wom en are far more serious. I should long , ago have given up the post of English literature if it had not been for the interest shown by women who have come to my classes. Woinau I* a Mail Farrier. Miss Heden Kramer, who has a ru ral delivery route six miles from Louisville, is the only woman carrier of that class in Kentucky and one of | the few in the United States. She j entered upon the discharge of her new j duties about three weeks ago. Until j that time she was in charge of Shively ! pcstofflce, which is now abolished, i Since the death of her father, five ! years ago, she has been the only sup- - port of her widowed and invalid mo ther. About this time she secured : the appointment of postmistress of ’ the fourth-class office at Shively, which i > not a salaried position, but pays ac- ' cording to the number of stamps can celed at the office. This was not suffi cient to support herself and mother, so she secured the agency of several news papers. These she distributes every day by means of a horse and cart to her subscribers, all of whom live with in a radius of a few miles from Shive ly. The knowledge she has thus ac quired, not only of the roads and mails, but of the people in that section of the country, made her the logical can didate for rural carrier. A few days before starting on her route Miss Kramer completed her car rier uniform, which is of the regula tion blue-gray color. The Postofiice department is usually thorough in pro- viding against every contingency that raav arise in the administration of.the service. It had not, however, decided upon any particular pattern of uniform for rural mail-carriers of the gentler sex. So niss Kramer was forced tt, provide herself with a pattern for her uniform. —Chicago Chronicle. A Woman* Holiday Afternoon. An active minded woman was spend ing her belated summer holiday re cently in a country village where au tumn fruit literally drugged the mar ket to her utilltlarian soul the waste of apples lying .leaped in bins or left neglected under the trees were next to sinful. She gained a ready permission from her host to dispose of the apples in any way. The house stood somewhat retired, but on a much frequented street —in fact, the highway to the local baseball ground. That afternoon the woman of ideas placed a bushel basket at the gateway and filled it peck by peck her self with luscious, red cheeked apples from the overflowing bins. Then above the basket, she placed a eonspicuous sign, “Help Yourself," and retreated, stating herself on the screened piazza to watch results. It was a ball game afternoon. Pre sently along came the members of the local team, early, for practice. The first comers scorned the invitation, and the apples, and the woman in waiting felt a sudden sense as if of personal neglect. But the next three did help themselves. Soon a small boy appeared, with pockets—one. two, three, four, fast as one could count, the apples went iuto the pockets. Next a carrlagcful of boys driving by stopped for one to jymp out and get in again, his hands full. Then two little boys danced eagerly up to the basket, clapping their hands with apprecia tion, Some of the local inhabitants stopped, with slow, herdlike looks, to stare at tne sign. The village girls over lfi years old walked by haughtily. Two, women, with deprecating glances around, indulged In an apple apiece. As the contents of the basket dimin ished new supplies were forthcoming. No one took more than a half dozen apples. Occasionally a group of boyr would help themselves and scurry off as if in fear of being pursued. Pret tiest sight of all was a pink gowned twe-year old baby, who trotted off clutching a big apple the color of his ruddy checks. Two bushels and more of apples van ished that afternoon, and the woman, watching the passersby as they stared, sniffed, appreciated or applauded her sign, felt that she had enjoyed it all. Incidentally, she learned afterward that, an invalid across the way had been vastly entertained. —New York Tribune. 'V !^ Long chains of jet and crystal beads are much In favor.

He was a handsome St. Bernard, but so large and so good-natured, run ning up to everybody and making friends with all, that the neighbors gave him a nickname, calling him “Old Useless." They thought, he would be no good, even for a watch dog, he took everybody into his favor so readily. So they would say; “There goes ‘Old Useless,' or ask: “Have you seen Useless this morn ing?” Some were even disposed to tie cross with him and would give him a kick and cry out : "Get. away, Useless. You are no good.” It seemed as if the big dog would understand for he would hang Ills head and slink away as if he were ashamed. They said you could not depend on him for anything, except to eat all he could get, for he had an appetite so fierce that you could never seem to fill him up. Ono man exclaimed: “He isn't worth ball’ of what it takes to feed him for six months.” So Victor was liked well enough because he was so kind, but all seem ed to think it a waste of money to have such a helpless, do-nothing crea ture about. But alter a certain night the opinion Df people about Victor was greatly changed. He had been put into the shed in the evening, its usual, and all the folks had gone to bed and were sound asleep, when the dog began to bark, in his loud way, and so wildly that his mas ter got up and found that the house was on fire. The man sit pc on the ground floor, and by the time he had slipped on a few clothes he saw that the upper part of the building was in flames. In an attic chamber a baby was sleeping in the care of a young woman, but the woman had run down stairs when Victor began to bark and now the baby was alone. The flames were getting so hot that no one dared go for the child, but Vic tor heard it cry and sprang through the smoke and fire and brought the baby down alive and safe. They thought, after that, that the dog was a hero and no one called him “Old Useless” any more, and they spoke of him sometimes as “noble Vic tor.”—Brooklyn Eagle. A Dog;'* llur'l Luck. This is a taie of dog hard luck. Bones is the name of a canine resident of a court running off Cherry street, near Broad. The animal belongs to a family that has a hard struggle to procure enough food to keep life going, and Bones, poor fellow, must get his meals, when he eats, on the outside. From the looks of Bones he is not a good grub ber, for his ribs are painfully evident through his coat of boavdyard fur. However, yesterday Bones made a ten strike just outside of the Terminal Market. Hunger had driven him to the depths, and while a weighty housewife was looking for the other way the dog stealthily filched from off an overflow ing basket a package. Any one can guess that the package Bones selected contained something akin to meat. Bones had been observed in his pur loining, hut the two men who saw him and his starving appearance concluded not to give him i p to the law. but to watch his future movements, as they wondered how he would dispose of his booty. The dog did not stop to look around, eveidently realizing the result of his criminality should he be caught, but made a bee line in the direction of his home. The package was so big and Bones so little that, the animal had to hold his head high in the air to keep the. package clear of the ground. The thief was followed to within a hall block of his home, when (he pack age broke and there rolled to the side walk a fine soup bone. Bones had gone on a few steps before he realized, by the lightness of bis burden, that some thing was wrong. He looked back and saw the bone and also the two men who were following him. Being suspicious of the men, Bones did note approach the bone at first, evi dently fearing capture, but finally he edged up to it and cautiously started to drag it off. Without its paper cov ering the prize was hard to manage, but Bones at last got it up the court wuere he belonged. He was seen to go into the house, only to emerge in a few seconds on a fast run, minus the prize he had struggled home with. Bones tore badk to the spot on the street where he had dropped the soup bone and ravenously smelled around until he found a tiny bit of meat that had fallen off the bone. This was eat en by Bones with much relish, and when last observed he was taking his dessert in more smells. Neighbors who had observed the dog spill the bone and drag It home said the reason that Bones came back for the smells was that the people lo whom he belonged had taken the bone away from him to serve up at. their own poor table. As Bones seems to be a knowing dog. it is probable that he will not take his next find home.—Philadelphia Record. Wlmt the l’oiium Said. One night, when the coon was abroad and passed the possum with his noae in the air and without speaking, the latter called to him and said: “Look here, now, you needn't hold your nose so very high. You are a coon to be sure, but I’m not so very far be hind you. In fact, in some things I'm way ahead." "Id like to hear of them,” replied the coon with a flirt of his tail. "Oh, you would? Well, listen to this. You’ve only got forty-two teeth, while I’ve got fifty-six. Some of your teeth are larger than mine, to be sure, but I can crush any bone that you can. I’ve also got five toes, and one of them is as handy as a boy’s thumb. I can pick up a stick in my paw, while you must carry it in your mouth.” “I’ve heard brag before today.” ”Aud so have I, but I’m talking straight. I admire your long tail with black rings around it, but it is of no real use to you and is often full of dirt and burrs. On the other hand, I can hang to a limb by my tail for hours at a time. In fact, I often go to sleep that, way and I’ve never had a fall yet.” "But look at the difference in our food,” said the coon. “Yes, there is some difference,” re plied the possum, “but not much. 1 like fowls, mice, grasshoppers, bugs, birds’ eggs, garter snakes, frogs and crabs, and I often find something in the farmer’s garden to my liking. I’m also fond of persimmons and other wild fruits, I’ll admit that you can run fas ter than I can, and you are also a bet ter fighter, but I’m not so slow after all." "You couldn’t fight a puppy dog three months old.” "But what would be the use? My fur and skin are extra thick—much thick er than yours—and if overtaken by a dog or falling into the hands of a man I play dead. A dog may throw me around for an hour, or a man may hit me a dozen whacks with a club, and I’m not hurt in the least. I just play dead until they have gone and then sneak away. And let me tell you anoth er thing. The fox is very cunning as he sneaks about the farmyard at night, but if you ask the farmer he’ll tell you that 1 get more of his fowls than the fox. I haven’t, got as keen a nose as Reynard, and so I fall into the traps oftener, but don’t *you forget that, if there are any fat. pullets around I man age to get my share of them. 1 picked up a goose the other night which made me three good meals.” "But you don’t seem to have good eyes," said tire coon, who felt bound to find fault. “Well my eyes might be better, and that’s a fact,” replied the possum, “but as I do not run' swiftly or travel long distances I do not need eyes like yours or the fox’s. I make up for it in hear ing, though. I can hear the bark of a dog or the shout of a man a good deal further than you can. When you go out you have to leave your young be hind you, and the wild cat often finds and destroys them. When I go out my little ones go with me In my pouch or cling to my back. Did you ever hear of anyone eating coon meat?’ “1 can’t say that I have." "And it is because it is so strong that only a dog could eat it." "I said 1 v/gs no fighter, but let me tell you something. One day i climbed to the top of a big elm tree to inspect a hawk's nest. I had seen the hawks come am} go, and knew that they had a nest there. I found the nest in a crotch, and while I was eating the two eggs both hawks came home and pitch ed into me. The fight lasted half an hour, and I was badly bitten and scratched, but. I beat those hawks off and got down in safety; I bit one of them so badly that he died within a week. Could you have done any better than that? "I heard the farmer say that I had done him a great, service, lor the sur viving hawk flew away after her mate died. Come, now, didn’t I do well?” “But look at the difference in our fur," said the coon, as he began mov ing away. "Yes, there is a difference, but don’t you be too stuck up over that. Many a furrier has made a rug or lap robe of possum skins and sold them for real wolf and at a big price, and w r hen my skin is made into belts, eardcases, poc ket-books or linings there is no wear out to it. I’m not a coon, and I’m not trying to pass for one, hut you just re membor that no animal of your breed has any call to put on style over me.

This leisure time should be spent in rest and rec reation, duty for ihe moment laid aside. Of course when possible these after noons should be literally "out” in the fresh air and sunshine. On stormy days, or when she is very tired, a long nap or an interesting novel may re fresh or amuse the weary worker. A good story, read before an open fire, is always enjoyable. But when pos sible get away from home, for usually change is the best rest. Believe me, you will find this a wise plan. And make your "afternoon out” as long as you can.
