! To poseess t his valuable characteristic,
now, cast the weeds out of your foil -
der, do not feed musty gram, keep
• salt within constant reach of the cows,
! maintain pure stable surroundings,
brush the cows' udders befors milking,
and aerate the rank. These points
should not la considered as extra de-
tails on any dairy farm, but as neces-
sary regulations never to be ignored.
One great trouble is that se much that
. should lo considered necessary routine
work in the dairy, does not find a place
on the farm program, except perhaps
in an irregular manner.
Another thing: If you keep the young
Ten ne nt & Ten ne nt heifers off in ()lee corner of the stable,
and feed. and care for them after all
the other animals have been attended,
to, and that in an indifferent manner,
they are likely to prove poor property
when they become milkers. It es a
popular fallacy that young stock require
only second-class feed and second-claes
ceee. I tell you, heifers must be treat-
ed ott equal terms with milk cows. All
the fame usefulness of a milk animal
may depend on how she fares before
her first pregnancy. True, she does
not need a milk -forming diet, but she
requires a tissue and a bone forming
one, for a future reserve force when
she becom.es a, cow. The amount of
flesh on a young animal's back does
not necessarily represent physical force,
vitality, or sound tissue. It may be
merely fat, without a relative develop-
ment a sinew, bone and muscle. A.
heifer will stand more exercise than a
COW, but she wants just as warm a
stable, and should not be made to bow
down and worship the straw stack.
Plenty of goad hay with a supplement
of roots, or, in this winter of hay scar-
city, ensilage and cut straw, with a
light grain addition, form excellent ra-
tions. The object should be to com-
bine foods so as to get growth of a
sound, permanent character.

MILK AND CREAM.
To keep milk properly in the winter
time is almost as difficult as in sum-
mer. If kept in a room with a fire it
is too warm, and will sour, and if kept
in a room without fire it will freeze.
The best place to keep milk is in wa-
ter, either summer or winter. For win. -
ers beeoltne better :qualified, and cream-
ery. cempanies are trilling to pay a fair
compensatiou for qualified makers,then
NV11.1 have advanced weather etep or
two towards prosperity and seeress in
this great dairy industry.
WOOD FOR KINDLING.
Most farmers like to use wood for
fuel, especiaily in the eummer time,
and now, says a contemporary, is a
good time to work up a year's supply
and have it well housed. for keeping as
soon as it has been split up into suit-
able size for burning, There are sev-
eral kinds of wool., such as the gray
birch. poplar dna alder, which if left
out exposed to the weather Wake very
poor fuel, but aro almost as good as any
wood if they are split and dried Under
cover, and ans. wood whatever is worth
far more if handled thus. Moreover, it
is far less work to cut and split wood
when green than. wheri dry, and time
le less valuable now than when the
days are longer. For all these reasons
it. pays well to eut and split wood in
winter.
WONDERFUL TWINS.
rola
Mtn One Suffers the Other s Round
to Peel.
Probably the most wonderful twinsan
the world live in Philadelphia —Tillie
and Lizzie Warner. These girls beve
never been separated 24 hours in the
19 years of their existence.
Thoroughly well authenticated cir-
cumstances prove tlot a mysterious
bond exists between the sisters, If Til-
lie has a tooth pulled Lizzie has the
toothache; if Lizzie is exposed to the
cold Tillie suffers with her, although
Tillie may be in a room stifling with
heat.
Some weeks ago it was necessary for
Tillie te undergo a surgical operetiot.
Lizzie suffered pain, although she was
a mile away from the scene, and. did
not know that Tillie was ureksr a physi-
eian's care.
One day, while the street -car strike
tvas on, ahristraas week, Lizzie dropped
her work, and said, "I must go to Till."
She ran out York street, and at Twen-
ty-fourth, and York streets, she found
her sister crouehed in n. doorway, in
front of which a limb was holding up
a non-uniob crew on a trolley car.
This le only one incident. Either sis-
ter can find the other in a crowd of any
size "without hunting," as they express
it. The resemblance between the two
girls is remarkable. 13oth weigh exact-
ly the same, and it would tax the French
police system. to identify portraits of the
MO girls correctly.
They are not exceptionally bright
girls, but they possess marvelous mem-
ories, and strangely enough, they re-
raembee the same things. That is, their
recollections of past events are precisely
the same, and neither one can recall a
single occurrence that did not happen
in the presence of both.
It takes the rain.d of both to retain
a, lasting reeollertion of any happening
but when the fact is once hnpressed up-
on the minds of both, neither one for-
gets its least imeorts.nt featere.
Here are physteal phenomena that
have never been told outside the small
circle of their tramediate acquaintances.
The family is highly respectable, and the
peculiarities a the twins bave never
been paraded by•theraseIves or the zoom -
bens of their family.

ter, is a very good and convenient place Some day of joy heal get his fill -
to keep cans of milk, and the water
will not freeze enough to injure the
milk. In this way milk can be kept
in the best possible condition.
Another difficult matter is to con-
vey the milk from the farm to the
creamery, a long distance without in-
jury, withoat over heating and churn-
ing in summer, or freezing in winter.
Spring wagons should be used for long
distance drawing, or springs olaeed un-
der the box of the ordinary farm -wag-
on, and. cans should be covered with
heavy blankets in summer or winter.
The successful operation of a cream-
ery depends upon its proper equipment
and management. Theae essentials em-
brace improved machinery, pure and
sweet milk or (-ream, plenty of pure wa-
ter and ice, clean surroundings, and. a
first-class butter maker with plenty of
time to do this work properly. Also a
set of level-headed board of directors
to manage the affairs of the company.
The success of a creeraery company lies
largely in the power of the board of
directors. If they exercise good judg-
ment in securing a qualified butter
'raker, they only da their duty.
As time advances, and patrons be-
come aware of ths fact that only pure
and clean milk is fit for the mannfa,c-
He'll win at last.

THE ONLY WAY TO COOK BICE.
Red or oreole rice Ls the latest thing
in Louisiana, where so largely grown,
the grain being enveloped with s cover-
ing of this color, which is mostly remov-
ed when being cleansed at the raill. ,Dan
Talmage's Sons, the biggest rice deal-
ers in the world, claim. that few people
know how to properly cook it with a view
of getting the very best results. "Have
the weter 18 wbich the rice is going to
be placed at a, boiling point." tney say;
"thexl wash the rice thoroughly through
one or two waters; place in the pot and
let it boil undisturbed for 20 minutes.
After this, throw into a colander, cov-
ering the same. This serves a double
purpose, allowing the rice to drain thor-
oughly *aid also to steam. If you fol-
low these directions the rice wall come
on your table every grain swollen to
its largest proportions, and dry like un-
to a first-class, mealy potato. Great
emphasis must he laid an three points,
irst, the boiling water; second, the rice
to be undisturbed during boiling pro-
cess so that the grains may not be brok-
en; and finaily, its being thoroughly
dra-ined at the ekes.
COOKIES THAT STAY S•OFT.
The way I make cookies that stay soft
a week or more is to beat up an egg
with a pinch of salt in the dish I stir
them up in. Use two cups of C sugar,
writes A.. R. M. As it is always full
of small, hard lumps, I take my wood-
en potato masher and mash the lumps,
smd at the sams time work it into the
egg and work until it is well mixed.
Them a,dd 2 teacups of thick sour cream,
with a large teaspoon of soda. Mix well
with the sugar and egg, and stir in flour
until it will almost hold its shape as it
is stirred. Season to suit the taste
Sprinkle plenty of flour on the board,
take out some of the dough, sprinkle
plenty of flour over it and press the
rough edges in, but do not work it. The
weight of the rolling pin will almost be
enough pressure in rolling them out.
Cut them. out and handle carefully and
put in the pans. Do not crowd them.
When done, with a quick movement
turn upside down on a cloth spread on
oil the table, and. with the hands turn
them over and place there to cool. Toss
the scraps on the board together and
press them just enough so they do not
fall apart. Scrape the flour to the cell-
trc of the board aad pat more on if ne-
cessary. Put the scraps in the centre
of the flour, Put more new dough on
top, flour it well and roll out as before.
The secret lies in not getting the cookies
too stiff. Keen them in someehing
that has. a tighf, cover.
TJSEFUL HINTS,
Rubbing a tin teakettle with a cloth
.saturated with coal oil will make it
bright as new.
By rubbing with a flannel dipped in
whiting, the brown discoloration can be
removed from cups that have been used
fee' baking.
Yellow stains left on white cloth by
sewing maehine oil ca,n be removed by
rabbinet the spot with a cloth wet with
ammonia before washing with soap.
Never put a coat or dress away with
dust in the folds or pleats. Shake them
well and brush with a soft whisk broom
for dust is never so easily removed as
at •first,
If your tea or coffee pot has become
discolored inside, put into it a table-
spoonful of baking soda and fill it two-
thirds full of water, and let it boil for
two hours. Wash and rinse before us -
Dust cloths slightly moistened ancl
afterwards sbaken out of (kora, are more,
satisfactory than feather Meters, the
use a which only drives the dust, from
one' location to settle upon another.
The proper way to roll an umbrella,
is to take hold of the marls of the ribe
and the stick with the same hand, ;and
held them tightly enough to prevent
their being. twoted etile the covering
Ls being twirled around with the other
hand.
An error that is coramoely made is
that of mending kid gloves with sewing

in which he played an unwilling part,

story is related in a private letter sent
home to his regiment by one of pis

of daredevils, some of them the most
desperate criminals in existence, while
others were young men of good family
f in search of adventure. Sir John was
; therefore obliged to maintain the
' strictest discipline.
One day a prisoner of the name of
Grant was brought before him. on sev-
eral serious charges, which necessitated
the infliction. of an exenaplary punish-
ment. During the course of his trial he
' apostrophized Sir John as follows: "1
I heat you are a Life Gutted Blue, but I
call you a little --horse marine. You
: may be master now, but I shall before
' long."
iet the close. of the hearing the pris-
oner was remanded to the guard tent
until the following day. In the mid-
dle of the night, however, Sir John was
awakened by finding the ruffian seat-
ed by his bed and pressing

told, and then the felletv ordered him
to crawl out of the rear part of his

Foolish Bravery Displayed Before the
Enemy at Sebastopol,
Paul Imbrivitch, who as a Russian
soldier served throughout the Crimea
war, thus deseribed ae incirlerit at Se-
bastopol:
"It was during the siege when a cer-
tain Captain Samailoff, desiring some
wine, ordered. an officer to eend a man
after it, The man, a young -soldier,
took the money and started on the er-
rand. Just than, however, a French
battery had concentrated. its fire upon
the very spot where the young man
must go outside the works. He stopped,
and then turned. back.
"'I wouldn't go out there for the
world!' he said.
"The officer., of cour.se, reported the
act of disobedience to the Captain. The
Captain, in a rage, ordered. the man in-
to his presence, and. demanded vshy he
had not obeyed his Captain's order.
" 'I beg you. to pardon nee, Captain,
but I was terribly afraid,'
"'Afraid!' ;vied tile Captain. 'Afraid!
.A. Russian &tidier afraid. Wait a min-
ute. I will drive, the fear out a you.
Come with rae.'
"The Captain led the way to the ram-
part, mounted it, and there, with the
bullets raining round hint, began put-
ting- the man through some military
exercises.. The, bookers -on in the fort
held thew breath, If a. hat was put
on a bayouet and lifted above the waile
tbe imitate came that Way in an instant.
"Not many seconds elapsed. before a
bullet struck the Captain in the arm.
Ile did riot wince, but kept on with the
drill, while the blood dripped down his
hand to the wall,
"Next a bullet went through the tail
of the soldier's coat, and. another
tlarough his knepsaelt. Then suddenly
the firing ceased.
"The soldier begged for graee, and
promised to go wherever he was sent.
Still the Captain continued his drill.
When he thought the lesson had been
learned, or, perlope, when his arra grew
too painful, he dismissed the soldier,
and went timself to the surgeon and
bad his wound. dressed.
"The French explained afterward that
they ceased firing out of sheer astenieb-
ment at the sight of two men exposuag
themselves so recklessly.
