THEY DAIRY

WINTER DAIRYING IN DAKOTA.

It Pays Even When the Thermometer Is Melow Zero. The barn was not an expensive one, but would hold 100 head of stock and Bras cut into a bank with a slope so that the drainage was perfect. I jot down what the dairyman told us during the afternoon while he was caring for Ma stock. Every cow seemed to know her owner as a friend—no haste, no rude ooise, startled her. "Last summer," said the farmer, "I raised some corn fodder, millet and oat and pea hay, with some carrots and sugar beets for a change of food. I contract early for my bran and buy it cheap. My cows all come in fresh in September and October, going dry through flytime. I begin feeding them at once to keep up their flow of milk while butter is high. I never sell for lesa than 25 cents, and often 40 cents per pound. "I put my cows up nights as soon as frost cornea and feed millet, hay and bran. Now, during the cold of winter I get up at half past 5 in the morning, go to the barn and give the cows their grain feed, consisting of bran, ground oats and peas in the proportion of eight quarts of bran, four of oats and one of peas, or often change to one of new process oilmeal. Then at 6 o'clock we milk, running the milk through a hand separator, feeding my calves and pigs the new sweet skimmilk. Then I give a good feed of corn fodder and let my cows alone till noon, when I water them. They finish up all the fodder or millet in their mangers and lie down to chew their cuds till half past 4, when I again feed them a smaller grain ration supple mented with four quarts of chopped roots, and at half past 5 go to milking, finishing in one hour.

"Myself, boy and hired hand do the milking. I treat the milk as in the morning and then fill the mangers with millet or oat and pea hay, first cleaning out every bit of rubbish left in their mangers, using it for bedding. I neg lected to say I clean their stables every morning, hauling the offal and litter out on the field and scattering from each load."

He was asked if his cows ought not to be fed oftener. "No," said he, "cows, with their quadruple stomachs, need much longer to digest their food. Nei ther do I rouse them up at 8 or 4 o'clock in the morning. I find from observation those hours are their very best for sleep ing. Neither do I let them out through th@ winter unless it is on some especial ly bright, sunshiny day. Then I find they are ready to return to their stalls for their evening meal." "But do you not find your feed pretty expensive?" "No, not very. I feed about 40 pounds per day of rough stuff. One-half is cheap straw, costing nothing but the hauling, as I thrash the oats and peas out to use for grain. I figure that my grain feed and roots cost me 20 cents per day; hay, 5 cents—a total of 25 cents per day. My skimmilk and manure more than pay all care and other expenses. I feed extra heavy, for this is a cold climate, and I want much milk for my calves. My I cows average me COO pounds of butter per year, besides a fine calf. They are all high grade Holsteins, crossed up from the best dairy cows I could find. I clear $75 on each cow yearly. My pigs, calves, chickens, etc., pay all expenses, so I can lay up for my work about $2,000 per year. Besides my farm is getting better yearly from the large amount of manure spread each winter."—W. P. Wade in American Agriculturist.

Dairy and Creamery.

Professor Dean of the Ontario Agri cultural college, speaking of the differ ence between cheese and evaporated milk, says: "The difference between cheese and evaporated milk is chiefly this—the former contains but three or four of the original compounds of the milk —viz, water about 81 per cent; fat, 31 per cent; casein, 31 per cent, and about 7 per cent of lactic acid, ash, etc.,while the evaporated milk baa also the milk sugar, which in cheesemaking passes off in the whey, and a varying amount of water and in some cases cane sugar." Scientific cheesemakers at the experi ment stations begin to be of opinion that cheeee can* be made without rennet and that this will be done in course of time, though how they are not prepared to say. The truth about aerating milk seems to be this: If you want it to get cream from for butter making, do not aerate it, as this makes the cream hard to get out of the milk. Milk that is clean does not need aeration for butter making pur poses. But if you sell the milk and want to get the best prices for a pure, sweet article without any food flavors or cowy odors, then aerate it. ( Dairy Instructor Ball advises all cream eries to put in apparatus for pasiewiz- i ing or sterilizing the cream before they j churn it. This is done in Danish cream eries and constitutes one reason why Danish butter is considered the best that fs made. Mix together the tulky and concen trated foods in proper proportion. The co-operative creamery system is entirely successful in Denmark. There j are ovgt 1,000 such creameries in that country at present, each with a mem bership ranging from 10 to 100. ] Danish farmers Btart a creamery by forming themselves into an association and borrowing capital on the joint se curity of the raein'berf). Then they build th*. creamery and not it going. No mem ber is allowed to leave the association till it ia free from debt. An executive committee is appointed, consisting of chairman, secretary, treasurer, auditor fend directors, A general manager it hived, and fee and the executive commit tee transact all the business and run the creamery without any meddlixyj on tbs

THE HOUSEHOLD

HOT BREADS.

Beclpes For Delicious Tea Muffins and a "Sunday Morning Loaf." There are few meals, apart from dinner, that are not improved by some form of hot bread or biscuit. Southern people realize this and use them to an extent unknown fco the northern housekeeper. The latter, With that dread enemy dyspepsia always before her eyes, carefully keeps her freshly baked bread until the following day in order to certainly have it stale, while the i southern woman serves up hot yeast bread always once and often twice a day. In spite of this a Good Housekeeping cor respondent maintains that dyspepsia is a northern and not a southern complaint, and that there are many recipes for muf fins, gems, etc., which either housekeeper can use to her satisfaction and which add greatly to a breakfast or tea. The follow ing for tea muffins she recdmmends as par ticularly choice. It has never been known to fail, and the muffins made from It are extremely delicious. These are really more like gems than muffins and are always baked in the little gem tins and not in muffin rings: Two scant measuring oupfuls of flour, 8 teaspoonfuls of baking powder, salt, and a tablespoonful of sugar. Stir these together and add a full cup of milk, stirring round and round. Lastly add 2 tablespoonfuls of melted lard and butter. About 1 rounding tablespoonful will make 2 when melted. Put into an oven not too hot at first and in ; crease the heat as they bake. Bake about 25 minutes. ! "Sunday morning loaf" is prepared on i Saturday and simply put into the oven for half an hour before breakfast on Sunday morning. Two cupfuls of graham flour, a cupful of white flour, a cupful of Indian meal, 2 scant teaspoonfuls of salt. Put the dry ingredients into a milk pan and add a cupful of molasses, 2 scant teaspoonfuls of soda dissolved in a little cold water, a cup ful of sour milk or buttermilk and 1)4 cup fuls of sweet milk. This is the best way, but if it is preferred to use water instead of sweet milk use the same amount and add a tablespoonful of melted lard or drippings. Steam for three hours and be sure to see that the steamer does not stop work during that time. The above quantity makes two medium sized loaves. The coarse, yellow Indian meal which is best for these loaves is not so good for cornbread as the fine granulated yellow, or the white meal. Southern people uso the white meal universally.

For the Library or Sitting Room.

To be most useful a dictionary should have a place where it is always to be found, and that place should not be a high shelf

from which the heavy volume must be lifted down and carried to a table upon which it can be opened.

The small dictionary stand, here illus trated from an original design in Country Gentleman, tells its own stoiy. The dic tionary is always ready for reference, while "below are receptacles for papers and maga zines that are so commonly found littering the tops of library tables.

A DICTIONARY STAND.

An Old Fashioned Bedroom.

It is sometimes a difficult probltm to dec orate a bedroom in an old fashioned coun try house, where the ceilings are low and where economy must be carefully consid ered. The Architectural and Building Monthly says that in an old house in a New England town the matter was satis factorily solved by painting all the wood work a fiat white. It was classic in ito gen eral style, as all the colonial woodwork was. The walls were hung with a paper oi an ivory white background, upon which small and dainty floral patterns of the type seen upon Dresden china were scattered at irreg ular intervals.

The picture molding was placed just a half inch below the ceiling and gave the effect of a cornice without detracting any from the height of the already almost too low apartment. In spite of the cry of would be critics to the contrary, a very charming result was obtained by the use of a simple white kalsomined ceiling. Sim ple white dimity curtains, looped back with blue ribbons, gave an effect Of extreme daintiness to the room.

In the Laundry.

Wash and rinse flannels in water of even temperature, be it hot or cold. Iron stockings, undershirts, etc., wrong side out for convenience in mending, Fold clothes smoothly. "A wrinkle in has* to begot out." Rub irons on a piece of emery paper to make them smooth. Keep plenty of clean ironholders. To remove iron rust apply lemon juice and salt and expose clothes to the sun. A little vinegar in the rinse water will prevent delicate colors from fading.

Baked Pears With Sweet Cream.

Take larger pears than are used in stew- Ing, selecting those of nearly uniform Bize. Arrange them in a deep baking dish into which pour a half a pint of water, in which has been stirred half a cupful of sugar. Cover with a lid or inverted dish and bake slowly, frequently basting them with the sirup till they are tender. They are deli cious when served with good sweet cream.

Sweet Pickle For Plums, Peaches, Etc.

Four quarts cider vinegar, 5 pounds of sugar, quarter pound of cinnamon, 2 ounces of cloves and 7 pounds of fruit. Scald the vinegar and sugar together and skim, add Bpices, boil up once and pour it over the fruifc. Pour off and scald the vinegar twice again at intervals of three days, and then cover all closely.

Something New In Luncheon Dishes.

Something new in luncheon dishes ia clattered eggs, whose golden yolks are set in a red brown semifluid of tomatopure* and shredded anchovies.
