The Cows and Alfalfa. ? It is the experience of dairymen that alfalfa is far superior to timothy hay for cows, and that they may be | fed all the alfalfa hay they will consume, and that a mixture consisting of 400 pounds of ground corn; 300 pounds of bran or oats supplements the alfalfa very well. Seven or eight pounds of this combination is sufficient to produce one pound of fat m when fed with all the good alfalfa hay an animal will consume. If the droppings of the animal seem somewhat dry do not hesitate to recommend the use of one pound of oilmeal per day.?Indiana Farmer. Poultry Hints.

Humane Society, but | how cruelly and thoughtlessly are they repaid by those who are most Indebted to them. A horse is a noble animal; patient, kind-hearted, selfsacrificing, willing to work till he dies in his tracks, uncomplaining, a 1 lover of kind treatment, and who is willing to work a whole lifetime with no other compensation than his bed 1 and board. < Of the many things which make ' the daily life of a horse miserable, \ two are blinders and the tight check J rein, the worst parts of a horse's har- : ness. Very many people believe that 1 they are part and parcel of a horse and that he would not be a horse ' without them. The majority of horses could read- 1 ily dispense with blinders, and all could if they had never been invented. Blinders were first used by a noble- ; man in England to hide a defect on 1 his horse's head, and later were found 1 excellent locations for the displaying of his coat-of-arms. A horse's head was never intended 1 for blinders, for his eyes are* so set ' in his head that he can see behind him without turning his head and, of 1 course, the blinders deprive him of seeing the very things he should see lor his own safety as well as his driver's. A horse's eye is a beautiful 1 object, and it is a shame to cover it. Whenever I see a man driving a horse without blinders I always feel itike stopping him and shaking hands with him. A horse's head is the best part of him and should have on it as Ifttle harness as possible. Another insturment of torture to ! a horse is the tight check-rein. It is responsible for poll evil, abscesses, sprung knees, paralysis and disorders of the brain and muscles. It spoils his appearance ?>nd detracts from his free and graceful movements.?Horse World. Hints For Milkers. Remember that you are dealing fcith a living machine, and that therefore kind and quiet treatment will produce more milk with less trouble tbtin harsh methods. The machine can only work at its best when properly handled. Every <ir?p of milk should be drawn, for only by this means will the udder be induced to work at full pressure, and give a supply of the richest milk. It should also be borne in mind that the last milk is the richest. Observe cleanliness in all things. Make sure that the milking utensils are above reproach. Cleanse the cow's udder and your own bands before commencing to milk. Draw the milk by pressure, not by the stripping method. Carry out the operation, as quickly as possible, remembering that generally a good milker is a fast one and that the cow is liable to become impatient after a time. Pay attention to the cow's health. If her teats are sore, if there is any discoloration or unusual feature about the milk, do not mix it with the rest. Take care that the buildings in which milking is carried on are well aired and free 'from avoidable dust, a Fresh air and sunlight should be constantly admitted, and litter or food r< should not be bandied during the tl milking hour.

Of course, j ^ ivild plants have but few roots, be- 1 :ause of never having been trans- ! ^ planted, which calls for great care in | ;heir removal.

He says that the laws a Df the State of Wisconsin at the pres- y snt time do not permit the keeping t 3f a hand separator in the cow stable, v It must be placed in a separate build- d ing or in a room partitioned off from a the cow stable. v Plans for building small milk t bouses have been given in dairy pa- x pers and the catalogues of dairy sup- o ply firms. At farms -where a hand separator ; i is used and the cream sold, a small I milk house -will answer every pur- ^ pose. One large enough to give r space for the separator and a water c tank, through which the water is y pumped directly from the well and c then to the stock tank, is all that is needed. t The question has arisen as to the t advisability of placing a gasolene en- j gine,' when this is used as a farm c power, in this milk house. There is q little danger of contaminating the f cream from the odor of the engine, c if this is well taken care of and the r exhaust from the engine is tightly t connected to a pipe which leads outside the building. The cooling of the cream as it comes from the separator is absolutely necessary. It should be brought to near fifty degrees as soon as possible after separating, then placed in j cans and these allowed to stand in a tank of cold water until the cream i * is collected by cream haulers. If the milk house contains in addi- i ? tion to these pieces of apparatus, ^ some sort of a boiler, for furnishing hot water and a wash sink, these can ^ be included in the same building, but ! , it is advisable to place the boiler in a j ^ separate room. t It is important that the milk house j be built with a cement floor and ( cemented corners from the floor up the walls for at least one foot. This gives a sanitary surface which can be flushed with water and kept clean, provided the floor pitches well to the 1 gutter and a good drain with a trap * in carries off all surplus water J spilled on the floor. I ' After the essential points of a good j * miik house are well understood, each ' farmer or dairyman can determine I for himself how large a building be ' ^ wants and locate it in a dry, clean j . place where it will not be contamin- ; ^ ated by the drainage or the odors from the cow stable, pig pens or any refuse material.

"For some reason or other," says writer in Good Housekeeping, housewives seem to abhor the cockaach even more than they do flies, tiat are veritable assassins as comared with the cockroaches, which re at worse merely pantry thieves, 'he name of the pest may be altered 3 croton bug, roach, black beetle or 1 Boston possibly Periplaneta amer;ana. "I would like to tell something of tie roach's good qualities, of b's inelligence, his amusing habits and is cleanliness. I suppose that after aving set forth all these traits the ousewife will still turn to the deathealing pyrethrum powder, which is he simplest and cheapest destructive gent. For that matter, I must plead uilty of killing several gallons?or ushels?of cockroaches each year. "The cockroach is related to the jcust, that is used as food not only y our own Indians of the Southwest ut bv the races of Africa and Asia, 'his fact may be consoling to the ousewife who stands in constant read of finding a cockroach in her aod. The monkeys in the Central 'ark monkey houses eat roaches betveen meals and seem to find them elicacies. "The roach is very cleanly in its abits, and thus resembles a cat, just s the common house fly may be said 3 resemble a dog that comes in dirty nd muddy from the street. While he fly carries disease germs and the acteria that breed in filth to the aod on the dinner table, the cockoach is not an unclean insect.

The insect3 clean from the racks and crevices of ill-kept kitchns the food and refuse that would therwise decay and cause evil reults. Besides, the cockroaches if the Dod supply runs short will make inoads into the bedrooms, and hunt nd devour other insects, such as bedugs, that make life unbearable. If ood is ?ept out of the house for a reek or^so and there are any bedugs to be found the cockroaches will at them and their eggs. Taken alagether, in unclean houses the cockoach is a blessing. "The best exterminator I know of ; pyrethrum powder. The best way o rid a kitchen of roaches is to take ut all articles thr.t might be dirtied y the powder and then to tirow andfuls of it into the cracks and rannies where the roaches hido. In a minute or so the roaches will e seen stumbling out of their rereats. They will tumble about and all drunkenly. As a matter of facti hey are suffocating. Since they reathe through spiracles or holes long their sides and not through heir mouths the powder enters into hese spiracles when they try to run hrough it. After the kitchen ha? ieen well powdered the doors and windows should be closed overnight n the morning the dead roaches will e found lying scattered everywhere. "I do not know of any way to preent them from invading a house or aore especially an apartment. They re migratory in their habits and il ou succeed in killing all you have o-day you have no assurance that a wandering band of roaches may not liscover your kitchen in a week or sc nd invade it.
