A nobody knows Tn appro ximate j ' ty the number ot Inhabit an ta to the -vast Chinese domain, to, perhaps, no kody ems mt definitely and positively how many distinct dialects are spoksn ."hy the peoples of the different pro vinces. A recent authority puts the number at "oyer a hundred." So wide ly differing in many respects are many of these dialects that they constitute practically distinct languages. To en deavor to group, combine and stan dard these languages Into one com mon speech for the whole empire would be a work of many years and of Immense difficulties. In fact. It would seem to be an undertaking Involving greater difficulties than the Introduc tion of a complete new toDgue. And It must be remembered that the of ficial and educated classes are familiar already with English. The language 1s taught In the universities and many of the schools. It is the common me dium of official communication with other governments. At the same time, the leaders of the new movement are enthusiastic friends of our country. If the republican movement shall suc ceed, that success may be followed by the transformation of the Chinese Into an Engllah-speaklug people. It was noted In these columns re cently that the price of platinum In "the New York market had risen to the ihlghest figure ever reached over sev eti hundred dollars a pound. All over the world the demand for platinum arising from the use of the metal In electrical appliances has made It high ly prized. In connection with this sub ject a curious story comes from Parts. It Is Bald that a number of twenty franc gold pieces forged In the reign of Napoleon III., have been found to he worth at least double their face value. This is due to the fact that in the alloy of wbich thes forged coins were made platinum was used. At that time platinum was cheap. A pound weight of it could be bought for a few sovereigns. The spurious twenty-franc pieces contain about six grammes of platinum each, and today , these six grammes are worth about 19. A crusade on "fads and frills" In thi public schoolB of the city is to be start ed in New York, with more thorough ness and lees experimentation as its lagan. Everywhere there seems stir ring this rsvolt against the excessive system of experiment to which the Schools have been subjected, with cor responding loss of thorough grounding In essentals. The educational the ories of the present seem to share the prominent American craze for speed, more or less regardless of the risks Involved in attaining It. The agitation. Which appears to be general, will doubtless result In restoring the pen dulum, which has swung too far in both directions of conservatism and progress, to Its normal swaying. It's well to be clean, but If you wash your rugs with gasoline, be careful.

' But as if to mock at his anti quity, the Ralner is the moBt modern man among the hundred and fifty Haps burg archdukes. In all that relates to soldiering, politics, art and science no man outdistances the Ralner. He made Vienna an art and science city. For an unbroken half a century he directed the Imperial Academy of Sci ence. He created the Art Industry Museum. He collected a hundred thous and rare manuscripts and gave them to the nation. When Eltelberg wanted to copy London's South Kensington Museum and people laughed at him the Ralner went round, hat In hand, and cozened the money out of Austria's millionaire princes. The Rainer lives In a small and "dusty room of his palace. All the other rooms are filled with books. He has never drunk or smoked or had any weaknesses except getting old and making faithful love for sixty years to his ancient, ancient wife. Yet the Rainer has never been a bookworm or dreamer. He is commander-in-chief of Austria's Lanflwehr. He has played a role In politics. Fifty years ago, when Austria first broke away from the Metternlck tradition, the Rainer was president of the Liberal Schmerling cabinet, and there he stayed four years, striving valiantly but vainly to trans form Austria-Hungary Into a politically homogeneous state. And ever since then the Ralner has been a progressive, go-ahead man, and for that reason is loved by drowBy Vienna, which has a passion for seeing other people go ahead. EUROPE'S ROYAL HOUSEWIFE It would be hard to find a more capa ble housekeeper than the empress of Germany. Her ideal Is service: she has de voted her life to serving her country, her husband, and her children. She believes that this is woman's highest and only mission, and that women are happy as long as they keep to this ideal. The empress has never inter fered in affairs of state, and the daz zle of court life has meant little to her. But she has always found Joy caring fgr the comforts of the emper or, looking after her children, and managing her household. When the Kaiser calls for his wife be finds h,er engrossed In the many departments of her housekeeping lore in which she is so proficient. Though she does not go into the kitchen and order her groceries and meats as do her subjects, the chief steward comes to her study every morning and they pian tne menus for luncheon and dinner together. She often suggests new dishes and makes changes in the menus as they are presented. For she keeps many cook books in her study and is The empress does not believe in than In conducting her palace.

(By W. H. UNDERWOOD.) I have long followed the plan of raising ten to a dozen calves each fear, thus being allowed to replace the inevitable losses of the dairy and to constantly cull and sell those An Excellent Milk Type. which I consider least desirable. I think this practice ought to be fal lowed on every farm where skim milk is available, because a dairy calf of fers one of the very best markets for this dairy by-product. I let these calves become mothers rather young. It Is surprising how very early a vigorous young heifer will breed if the opportunity is given her. I had once a Jersey-Holsteln cross-bred heifer that gave birth to her full term calf when only fourteen and one-half months old. It 1b the business of a dairy cow to give milk and to learn to turn all her products and energies alonG this chan nel, and bo the earlier she can get started In the right way the better. It is sometimes said that early breeding stunts or dwarfs a heifer, but I have had many heifers to drop their first calves at from eighteen to twenty months of age, and afterward they developed into cows which were large and vigorous for their breed. I like best to start with a September or October calf and then, if they spend their first winter under favor able conditions, with plenty of skim milk and early cut hay, bran and ground oats In addition, they will be sleek and plump when they go to pas ture in the spring. HOW TO WORK A SEPARATOR 3ood Machine Will Soon Pay for Itself and With Proper Care It Will Last Lifetime. (By BE8S1E I.. PUTNAM) Did you ever know a person who has a reliable separator to say that It does not pay? They all tell you It Is the way to do it the only way. Look at a first-class machine and note the high, speed attained. Only the best material and workmanship can be Included In such a combina tion. It Is no wonder that separators which are worth owning cost money Yet a good one will soon pay for It self and with proper care It will last almost a lifetime. Look over the standard makes and no others, trior oughly before Investing, but get s good one. The work of separating a moderate amount of milk Is easy In comparison with the old way, or even with keep ing water on It In a tank. If It runs too heavy a gasoline engine will soon fix that beside proving a most profit able servant In many other duties. Keep a dish for the dog and the cat In a convenient place where you can take off the froth before straining and separating. Froth only proves a nuisance In the separator but the chickens will be glad to get any that the dog or cat leaves.

Account ef ' Urtfform Compoel 1 tlon of tier Milk, - The . AyTchtrea are dirtrngulsbes more as good average dairy cows than for heavy production either of milk or butterfat In both these regards tbey occupy a position midway be tween Jerseys or Querr-sert sad Hol steina An average herd of Ayrshlres would probably prodoce more milk aiC butterfat than an average herd of oth er dairy breeds, but a selected herd of Ayrshlres would fall much behind ths production of a selected herd of the other breeds. For advanced registry, an Ayrshire cow must produce 6,000 pounds of milk and Z14 pounds of but terfat as a two-year-old. The require ments gradually increase until the cow is five years old, when she must pro duce 8,500 pounds of milk and 322 pounds of butterfat The milk tests somewhat less than 4 per cent, of but terfat and about 124 per cent, total solids. From the standpoint of the milk consumer the Ayrshire Is almost Ideal, because of the uniform compo sition of the milk, but the heavy flow which many eiroducers want for profit able production Is lacking. Twenty-four head of Ayrshire cows owned by different experiment sta tions in America produced an aver agle of 6.632 pounds of milk per year and an average test of 3.85 per cent, of butterfat, or 252 pounds per year. The test of the milk 17 cows gave an av erage of 12.98 per cent, total solids. In this the fat represented 29 6 per cent, of the total solids, as compared Florence Melrose. with 34.5 per cent, for the Jerseys and 28 per cent, for the Holstelns. For veal production the Ayrshire ranks next to Holstelns. The calves weigh from 60 to 75 pounds at birth and are strong, vigorous and active. Doubtless no dairy breed produces as good beef as the Ayrshire. They fat ten readily when dry and are said to dress out r. good proportion of meat. INCREASED YIELDS OF MILK Pennsylvania State Experiment Sta tion Makes Comparative Study of 8oillng Crops. The Pennsylvania state experiment station has made a comparative study of soiling crops for dairy cows. It was found that the chief Influence up on quantity of milk produced during the experiments seemed to be closely related to the palatablllty of feeds. That Is to say, those feeds eaten by the cows with the greatest relish, and consequently of which the largest quantity of green forage was consum ed generally gave the largest yields of milk. This seemed to be true re gardless of the amount of dry matter or percentage of protein contained In the feed. lirlefly, the milk produced bore a much closer relationship to to tal green forage than to dry matter or protein consumed. The effect upon quality of milk was shown only In an Indirect manner. In no case was a flavor Imparted sufficiently marked to be detected after the milk was Berated and cooled. The percentage of butter fat seemed to vary Inversely ss the live weight of the cowb. In other words, those feeds which produced a gain In live weight seemed to produce a milk containing a lower per cent, of butterfat than was secreted when the cows were losing weight. This was true regardless of the quantity of milk produced. The Indications are that some feeds tend to fatten the an imals themselves, while others tend to produce fat In the milk. Selling Unprofitable Cows. A farmer made the following stste ment after testing bis milk cows the first time: "I found that I had one cow that gsve over 6,000 pounds of milk Id s yesr. From her 1 could not belp msk ing s profit. I found that 1 hsd an other that gars soms 2,100 pounds of milk In s year. From ber I couldn't help making a loss." Kvsry farmer should test bis cows snd And out bow - many profitable cows be Is feeding and caring for. The unprofitable cows should be sold to ths butcher. Dusty Rowghsgs.

The United States produces appro tmately 1,000,000,000 pounds of tobacco every year, but the farmers who grow this enormous crop pay each year a large dividend to insect pests. The number of serious tobacco pests Is not arge, and most of them are subject Leaf Injured by Leaf Miner. to easy methods of control. Yet, re gardless of these facts, the damage to tobacco by insects is growing heavier year by year. True, not all of this loss Is preventable, but a large amount of loss may be avoided by proper met h s of sowing the seeds, cultivation, rotation and various other Indirect as well as direct remedies which affect the insects themselves. The tobacco Leaf Miner is an In sect which is considered easy to con trol. The injury made by this Insect Is manifested by large irregular blotches appearing on the leaves. These are at first whitish, but later become very dry and parchment-like. Leaves Injured In thlB way are unfit for Wrapper purposes, as they tear very easily. There are two generations of the Leaf Miner each year, the winter be ing passed In the adult stage, the adults hiding away In trash found about the tobacco barns.

SCRAPING BARK FROM TREES In Case of Ordinary Healthy Tree Treetment Is Advocated by Psnn sylvsnls Zoologist. As to the advisability of scraping rough or shaggy bark from arpl" trees, the state soologlst of Penney 1 van la has the following to ssy: ihis depends upon the conditions In general. I advise euih treatment, especially for rough, scaly bark on old trees; but If It be bark that has been roughened by the Injurious ac tion of soli sprays, or by burning with fire or some other Injury, 1 am satisfied It would be wrong, because this is the tender bark beneath Just what a scab of an snlmal is to a sore which It 1b protecting. Therefore, If the bark beneath be tender, so that It would be lnjnretf by being scraped. It Is best not to do It- In the case of an ordinary healthy tree It is oertalnly best, but at Injured places, such as above mentioned, It Is advisable to scrape gently, If at all. On an old tree one cannot apply enough pressure with a short handled hoe or bark scraper to do any Injury, and this will remove many Insect pests, such as coddling moth, woolly aphis and oertaln hibernating crea tures, and expose scale Insects and other pests to the action of the weath er, and of the Insecticides to be ap plied before the leaves appear.
