Regularity in Milking.

No one thing, except sufficient and
nutritious feed is calculated to favor Il
good and regular flow of milk in kline
SO much as regularity In milking and
this stands to reason. Nature instrllcts
by instinct in dumb animals. A calf will
draw its milk at least six times day, If
left 10 suck the dam ut will; conse-
Guently, the uddcr will be but little dis
tended at any time, and there will not
be "A great development of milking ca
pacity, or rather capacity to hold milk.
But. with the artificial process of milk
developments in cows, the udder be.
comes very much enlarged and the time
when a COW gives milk is greatly
heightened, SO much SO, that i'm many
individuals it does not cease to flow even
during pregnancy.
In this country, because of distant
pastures Of the cattle roaming at will on
the prairie ranges, il Is impracticable to
milk more than twice during twenty
four hours. In Germany and Holland,
the practice TO milk three times during
tho same time, is general. The cows
are MIXED, the year round, ut four in
the morning in the stalls, at noon in the
pastures, and again at evening in the
stalls, dividing the time a. near as may
he into eight hours between each milk
ing. In this country, in well regulated
dairies, they are milked at twelve hours
interval. During this long time, when
the cows are in full flow of milk, the
udder becomes filled and distended %
its utmost capacity, and to allow them
to go two hours beyond this time before
being relieved, is simply cruel. il al
lowed to go much longer, fever is sure
to set in. and the quality of the milk is
impaired and the health of the COW en-
dangered. AS IA consequence, also, na.
ture trying to assist, the next milking
! will be very much smaller and, though
II good COW will recover from one or two
neglccts mot witout damage, mind youj
if repeated only once a week, the COW
will surely dry up and become worthless
for the dairy. We sum up this matter,
then, in this brief sentence: that, in
point of humane treatment, "a well as
in view Of pecunary profit, it is abso'
lutcly necessary that your cows should
he milked at regular hours. Allow us
to say in this connection that we have
frequently reiterated-~tiiat Is, the milk
ing should also be done by the same
hands as much NJ possible. The high
price of milk, butter and cheese, should
induce all who keep cows, to observe
these so-calsed little notions, that they
may make the dairy as profitable as pos
sible. R,r0t ,FOrid

The Drunk ards Cure.

Some months ago, agentlenan adver
tiscd that he had discovered sure spe
cilic for the cure of drunkenness. He
would not divulge the secret of what
compounds he used, but furnished the
medicine at so much per bottle. He did
not have so many applications for cure
as was expected, considering the extent
of the disease. In fact, the more malig-
nant cases did not seem anxious for re-
lief. They rather appeared to enjoy
their malady. A few. however, placed
themselves under treatment, and some
were cured whether by taking the
medicine or by not taking strong drugs,
we are not prepared to say. One OF the
cured ones had faith in the medicine,
rigidly carried cut the directions of the
doctor. and now has not the least taste
for intoxicating drinks; whereas, one
year ago he was an inebriate, and could
not get along with less than pint to a
quart Of whiskey per day
He said that he had, at some trouble
and expense, procured the receipt foI

LEONORA BROWN.
A Story ola Heroic Girl.

On the border of Green Lake, in Min
nesota there lived a sturdy, white hair
ed frontiersman named Walter Brown.
He was one of those adventurous spir-
its ever to be found in the van OF adj
vancing civilization, always courting
the free, wild air Of the prairie, and re-
joicing in the profound depths of unin-
habited forests.
But the country became more and
more thickly settled, and Walter Brown
became uneasy. His wife had borne
him daughter the third or fourth year
of their residence at the headwaters Of
the St Croix, whom he called Leonora.
She was "a good girl, and the idol of her
father. He purchased rifle for her
when she was but twelve years old, and
took the utmost pains in teaching her
the use Of it. She was brave and steady
OF nerve, and soon acquired wonderful
skill as shot, and the number of prai-
rie chickens, partridges, wild water
fowls, and other small game she man
aged to shoot every day, was really
large. Occasionally she would shoot
deer, and one ;eysntfYl ,,mornipSr ~ a
|nsiy hSa shot shs tsds shEgdsh and 'o
''v When ms sic came Nome With the news ,st !
her father Gould scarcely credit her
But, knowing her perfectly truthful ma
ture, he danced about the room for joy,
and seizing the sturdy little maid, he
mounted her upon his shoulders and in
sisted upon carrying her all the way TO
the spot where the dead bruin lay.
Thicker and thicker flowed the tide of
emigration into Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin, following the navigable rivers As Il
matter of course, and more and more
uneasy and crowded" felt Walter
Brown. At length his wife died. Lee
onora was then sixteen. and engaged to
be married to a handsome young trap
per by the name of Watson, who had
Joined her father in business.
The death of the m, ,ther had made it
necessary to postpone the wedding, and
in the interim old Walter decided to
move into northwest Minnesota
Neighbors were getting too near, and
hunting and trapping were bad. AS
the young man had proved up and pre-
empted quarter section of land near
Taylors Falls, he did not wish to either
abandon or sci! it just thea, and le;-
suading LeonOra to agree to write TO
him, he hade her an ntfectonate good
bye.
Brown lived in Minnesota for three
or four years in peace and quiet, finding
good trapping and hunting grounds,
when all at once young watson arrived
and renewed his proposition OF mar
riage with Leonora. The old man had
about determined to move no more, and
had accordingly located and pre- -empted
several thousand acres of land about
him, and learning from Walter that he
had money enough to do likewise, pro-
posed that he should go down to st.
Paul ana buy land warrants with his
money, and take up all the land he
could ''swiug." lie might tnen nairy

work, and after building plenty Of sta:

cattle and sheep and try and lead a pas
toral life for the rest of their days.
