from a severe case of dyspepsia. I could
not eat without great pain in my stomach
and would be sick and vomit up what I
did eat. One day I read of a case cured
by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I told my hus-

me. He went right away and got a bot-

Edgar's Soldier Besson.
Really it was too bad. Edgar was
going out to play soldier. He slipped
on the steps and twisted his ankle.
“My little lad must go to bed and
get well,” said Mamma Gates.
"Boo hoo,” howled Eddy.
Uncle Caspar looked up from his pa-
per and smiled.
“I don’t want to go to bed. I want
to go and be a soldier,” sobbed poor
Edgar.
"But if your ankle is not bathed and
put to bed you will be very lame to-
morrow.”
“I don’t care,” whined Eddy. “I don’t
want to go to bed.”
"I thought you were playing soldier,”
said Uncle Caspar.
“Yes, sir.”
“Well, what does a soldier do?”
Edgar looked up puzzled. “He
marches and he drums.” Eddy look-
ed at his drum and began to cry again.
“Is that all he does?”
“He doesn't have to go to bed,”
whiney Eddy.
"But sometimes he gets hurt badly.
He is shot in battle. Then what does
he do? Does he howl and cry?”
Now, Uncle Caspar was an old sol-
dier, whom Eddy admired very much.
“No-0-0! I guess not. I don’t
know,” said the boy.
“No. He goes to the hospital.
| There he is as brave as when he drums
i and marches.”
Edgar wiped his eyes and looked
J eagerly at his uncle. “Is going to bed
| and not crying being a good soldier?”
j he asked.
“Yes, my boy, that is the bravest
j part of it. Now let mo be the ambu-
lance—that’s a wagon, you know—and
to the hospital."

Uncle Caspar picked up Eddy In his
arms and carried him gently to his
chamber.
“Now, I'm going to be a good sol-
dier,” said the boy, with a smile. He
did not wince when his uncle felt of
the sore ankle and bound it up.
“There’s a brave lad. Eddy,” said his
uncle. “Now. play it does not hurt,
and go to sleep.”
Half an hour later Edgar was dream-
ing. He looked like a brave little
corporal taking his rest.
Uncle Caspar hung up Edd-y’s flag
and gun where he could see them when
he awoke. The drum with the sol-
dier cap upon it was placed on the bed.
Edgar limped down stairs the next day
and went into camp on the sofa. He
whined and complained no longer. He
had learned a lesson, that a brave man
is patient in suffering.

i What followed Is told thus:
"Then the little fellow came
whispered In my ear. ‘Grandpa?’
“ ‘What is it, Willie?’ I answered,
unconcernedly, although I was deeply
moved.
“ ‘Wait,’ said he, ‘till I bring your
, glasses.’
“ ‘Now,’ said he, ‘do you see anybody
in this room ‘cept me? ‘Cause there
I is.’
“ ‘Why, yes, Willie; I see myself.
Of course there is some one besides
you.’
“ ‘But, grandpa, do you see God?
Look good, now, ’cause I made a bar-
gain with him to make you a Chris-
tian, like me.’
“ ‘Run down stairs now Willie,’ I
said.
“ ‘I can’t, grandpa, ’cause I told
God I’d wait and see if he'd have
you.'
“What could I do but promise the
child that I would try to see God? And
morning, noon and evening 1 was met
with the question, ‘Did you, grand-
pa?’ ”
Now, note the following elements of
successful prayer: The child had faith;
he asked for just what he wanted; he
believed in the imminence of God; he
expected results; having prayed once,
he showed his importunity working for
results; his prayer was answered, for
his grandfather was converted, and
through him, his father.

Ten weeks of the three months' term
of the Wisconsin Dairy School have
now passed, and students as well as in-
structors are becoming so well ac-
quainted and thoroughly interested in
their work that they are loth to tart.
The present class of 115 students, most-
ly from Wisconsin, but many from
other states and Canada, is the larg-
est attendance in the history of this
school. The dairy school building was
designed and equipped for the accom-
modation of 100 students, at an ex-
pense of about $40,000. Past experience
has shown that for various reasons
some few students are always obliged
to leave before they have completed the
course, and in anticipation of this 115
were allowed to enter. We were oblig-
ed to ask about twenty more men who
applied for admission to wait and come
next year. Some have already regis-
tered for next winter’s term, and any
one wishing to enter the school is ad-
J vised to apply early for admission be-

Blind Man s Buff is so time-honored j Creamery and cheese factory operators

one would think it impossible to de-

newer game of Buff with the Wand,
however, is thought by many to be
superior to the long-established fav-
orite. The blinded person, with a stick
in his hand, is placed in the middle of
the room. The remainder of the party-
form a ring by joining hands, and to
the music of a merry tune which
should be played on the piano, they all
dance round him. Occasionally the
music should be made to stop sudden-
ly, when the blind man takes the op-
portunity of lowering his wand upon
one of the circle. The person thus
made the victim is then required to
take hold of the stick until his fate Is
decided. The blind man then makes
.any absurd noise he likes, either the
cry of animals, or street cries, which
the captured person must imitate, try-
ing as much as possible to disguise his
own natural voice. Should the blind
man detect who holds the stick, and
guess rightly, he Is released from his
post, the person who has been caught

for better success next time.

Scarcely a year passes without the
introduction of some new ideas in but-
ter and cheese making. This year, in
addition to the usual instruction given
in practical butter making in the
creamery cheese making in the cheese
department, milk testing in the labora-
tory, and milk and cream pasteuriza-
tion in the pasteurizing room, the Wis-
consin curd test for detecting milk in-
jurious to the quality of full cream
cheese, has been explained and used
constantly by the students. Pasteuriz-
ing milk for butter making is also a
new feature of the Instruction this
■winter. During the past summer we
made considerable butter from cream
which was pasteurized after separation,
and then ripened with a commercial
starter. This butter was packed In
the Australian boxes as well as the
common sixty pound tubs, kept in cold
storage until winter, and has been in-
spected by the students now at the
school. A complete outfit for pasteur-
izing the milk and skimming It while
hot, as well as instruction in ripening
the cream from such milk and making
the butter from it, has been added to
the equipment of the school this win-
ter. Mr. H. E. Schucknecht of Minne-
sota has been with us a few days and
given the students the benefit of his ex-
perience in this line of work.
Although these continuous pasteuriz-
ing machines, which will heat from 5,-
How to Puzzle Your Friend*.
Here is a trick that will delight the
small boy because by doing it he can
astonish an army of friends. They
w-ill not know how in the world it is
done and he will be correspondingly
happy. To hang a bottle on an ordi- 000 to 10,000 pounds of milk per hour
nary match, as shown in the design, j to the pasteurizing temperature of 155
degrees F., are not primarily intended
for pasteurizing milk or cream to be
6old directly to the consumer in pint
and quart bottles, a practical test was
made of the keeping quality of the
cream and skim milk that came from
the separator at this high temperature.
Pint samples of both the hot cream and
hot skim milk were taken directly
from the separator and cooled in the
sterilized glass milk jars, which are
commonly used for retailing milk to
the consumer. These samples were
cooled at once to about 50 degrees F.,
the Jars w^re covered with paper caps
and left in a room at a temperature of
about 65 degrees F. Six trials were
made in this way, by taking samples
of the hot skim milk and hot cream di-
rectly from the separator on six differ-
ent days. It was found that these pint
samples, kept in sterilized bottles, re-
mained perfectly sweet in every case
for four days. Some were sweet after
five days, but most of them had a
slightly sour smell and about 0.3 per
cent acid on the fifth day.

An experiment on mottles in butter
was made by adding some of the ripen-
tie a string tightly about the neck of I ed cream from one large vat to each of
the bottle, lay a match on the cork three churns, two of them box churns

and holding it. tie the match as shown
in the illustration. Then call in your

er. The granular butter in one box
friends and watch their expressions of | churn was washed with water having
a temperature of 40 degrees F., and in
the two other churns the temperature
of the wash water was 60 degrees F.
After standing in this wash water
about ten minutes a part of the granu-
lar butter from each of the two box
churns was taken out. worked without
salt and a 20 pound tub filled with but-
ter from each churn. The remaining
granular butter was salted, worked and
a tub filled with the salted butter from
each churn. The next morning these
five tubs of butter were examined. It
was plainly noticeable that the un-
salted butter from both the 40 de-
grees F., and 60 degrees F. wash water
was of a perfectly uniform, even col-
or, with no suggestion of mottles or
wavy color, but their color was of a
astonishment.
“Cupid I* Coming."
In this game all the adverbs that can
be thought of will need to be brought
into requisition. Seated in order round
the room, the first player begins by
saying to his neighbor, “Cupid is
coming.” The neighbor then says.
“How is he coming?" To which the
first player replies by naming an ad-
verb beginning with the letter A. This
little form of procedure is repeated by
every player until every one in the
room has mentioned an adverb begin-
ning with A. Next time Cupid is de-
clared to be coming "beautifully, bash-
fully. bountifully," etc.; then "capri-
ciously. cautiously, carefully," and so

Poultry Rung®.
Too little attention is paid to the
poultry range, which we often call a
poultry yard. It Is the custom of
farmers to think that the yard Is a
thing of little moment. On farmi
where the poultry have the run of the
whole place this article does net apply.
Fut there are many farms and per-
haps should be more, where the poul-
t/y are kept shut up through a good
part of the season. In such a case it
will pay to give a range so large that
tiie fowls will not be able to eat all
tile grass that grows on it. There is
no economy in restricting the range
and feeding grain. Grass is one of the
cneapest feeds that can be fed.
Just how large the range should be
will depend on many things. One of
these is the richness of the soil and the
luxuriance of the growth of grass on
It. We have seen new lands that had
just been redeemed from a scrub oak
forest, where the soil was so thin that
a small flock of fowls would in a few
weeks completely denude of grass a
large yard. But if the land has been
cultivated and has a good blue grass
sod on it, and is in thriving condition,
it is safe to say that the area will sus-
tain In fair condition three times as
many fowls as the yard spoken of, as
being reclaimed from a scrub oak
forest and left with nothing but the
original nondescript grass on it.
Suppose you give an acre of land
tc, fifty fowls. Will It not pay? We
ttink it will. In the first place the re-
turns from it will be without cost to
yourself. There is no plowing, no sow-
ing, no cultivating, no reaping and
threshing. Almost the entire returns
v. ill be profits. The grass that grew
oa it will have been turned into meat
aad eggs. The hens will keep healthy,
aid the saving to the life of the flock
will be quite an item. Then, too, most
farms are so situated that the giving
of an acre of ground for such a pur-
puse is not a great matter. In many
cases it would remain partly vacant
anyway.
As to fencing the yard, this need not
his a great question In this age of cheap
w:re. The larger the lot the less will
it cost to fence it per square rod.
Thus, if a lot be two rods long and two
role wide it will take eight rods of
fencing to go around it. But if the
lot be four rods long and four rods
wide it will take but 16 rods to fence
it. If it be eight rods wide and eight
rods long it will take only 32 rods to
fence it. On this presumption the first
lot will be 4 rods in area, the second
1(1 in area and the third 64 rods in
area. Four foot woven wire fence may
b-’’ purchased at 40 cents per running
rod. On this basis the first lot will
cost for fencing each square rod, 80
cents, for each rod will require two
linear rods of fencing. On the lot that
is four rods square the cost for fenc-
ing each square rod will be 40 cents,
as each square rod is fenced by one
linear rod. For the third lot the cost
will be only 20 cents for each square
rod.
So we might extend the figures. If
th? lot were 16 rods Square the cost
would be 10 cents per rod. If it were
32 rods square the cost would be five
ceits per rod square. If the lot
were 64 rods square the cost would be
2Vj cents per rod. A lot 128 rods
square would cost 1% cents per square
rod. Finally if the lost were 256 rods
square the cost would be only % of a
cent for every square rod of land
T1 is shows the economy of great op-
erations. The big lot is the cheapest,
everything considered, and this is es-
pecially true in the fencing. Of course
we do not suggest that anyone build a
hen yard 256 rods square. The figures
are given to impress the truth of a
great principle that we cannot afford
to ignore.
This is one of the great reasons why
it would be desirable to keep fowls in
large flocks were it not that they are
more likely to become the prey of
diseases of a contagious nature. A
large range is always desirable, but it
is difficult to have a large range with-
out having a large flock of fowls.
In some yards the large range fur-
nishes the fowls with a goodly supply
of fresh meat in the form of grass-
hoppers. It is astonishing what a large
number of these Insects inhabit a
single acre. If the acre patch be ex-
hausted by the industry of the hens,
a few hours suffice to replenish it.
Not only grasshoppers but hundreds of
varieties of bugs and worms infest and
journey through this field, falling a
swift prey to the feathered sentinels.
With the green grass and fresh meat
the fowls are kept healthy and happy
and continue to manifest their content
by a voluminous product of eggs.
