better that the same COWS be
MIXED in regular rotation than
otherwise. Racing about the yard
in play should especially be interdictcd,
as well as loud talk and gossip, but on the
other hand singing, whistling, or low talk
to the animals themselves seem always to
receive their unqualified appreciation

at all, but would stand quietly chewing
their cud while some soft-handed maiden

If the milk be not at once carried to the
cooler, il should be Immediately poured
into a suitable vessel where it can be kept
secure from dust or danger of being over
turned. The milk should, however, be
cooled as soon rs practicable, especially
if designed for the cheese factory, and
should be left exposed to the air until the
animal heat has all escaped.
If designed for butter the cooling
should not be intermitted, but if set in
shallow pans in Il cool cellar or
milk room, the animal heat will escape
naturally.
We have heretofore urged the necessity
of perfect cleanliness in the milk-roOm,
for whatever odors may be floating in the
air of these rooms are sure to be taken up
by the milk and cream. All the utensils
used also must he thoroughly scalded and
aired every time they are used. The care
of the churn is not the least important of

His Real Name.

The United States Senator from Oregon
seems to have discovered what his right
name should be, as appears from peti-
ton which he has presented to
the County Court of the State of
Oregon for the county of Multnomah, ask
ing for decree iudicially declaring the
name John III. Mitchell to be his true and
legal name. The petition sets forth that
he has been in Oregon thirteen years, and
that during that time he has been known
as John II. Mitchell. The name of his
father was John Nipple, and his mothers
name was Mitchell. In his infancy he
was named John Mitchell Nipple, but as
many people were commencing to doubt
the validity of business transactions they
have had with him, he prays that his
name NAV he changed to John II. Nit
chell, as above. The hearing has been
set for the 4th of August, so that until
that time the Senator from Oregon is
without "A true and legal name. Mean
while, there is no certainty that even the
judicial decree will definitely christen the
Oregon Senator. He applies for the
name of John II. Mitchell. Inasmuch as
he has figured in Oregon politics both as
John Nipple Mitchell and John Hiram
Mitchell, would it not be well for him to
fix his middle name also, so that people
having transactions with him may know
whether II stands for Nipple or Hiram, or
something else beginning with an II As
John Nipple Mitchell, alias John Nit

There is no place about the farm where
order and method, rs well as perfect
cleanliness, are more necessary Than in
all the operations OF the dairy, and this
should by no means be inter
mittcd in the milking yard
This should be carried still
further, from the pasture to the milking
yard. The object is to get the greatest
quantity of milk at the least waste to the
animals which furnish it, They should
never be hurried from the pasture to the
yard, and when in the yard should never
be assailed with harsh language, much
less blows; for all these invaribly dimin-
ish not only the quantity but also the
quality of the milk. They should also be

Protecting Fruits, ETC., Against Birds.

A CORRESPONDENT of the London Field
gives a method of protecting fruit trees
and seed plants against the depredations
of birds, which differs from the plan usu-
ally adopted in this country of using col
ored Irvine, or thread SO large as to be
readily seen:
And what, you will ask, is my talisman?
Simply ball of gray or Witty brown
linen thread | take ball of this in my
hand fasten the end of it to one of the
twigs of the goOseberry or currant bush,
and then cross the thread backwards from
twig to twig in perhaps dozen different
directions, fasten off, and the thing is
done; and it will last two years-the
thread on the trees, / mean. 1t is not ne
cessary the thread should be white or
coarse it ought rather to be fine and dark
"A thing to be felt not seen. | have
watched the birds after performing the
operation; they come boldly to settle on
the trees, and they strike against these to
them, invisible snaTes, which no doubt
they deem them To be; they fly off in Il
terrible hurry, and settle on the walls and
trees around about longing and getting
hungry, till at last they disappear, and
you will see them no more.
As regards peas and other seeds, which
| always SOW in drills, | simply stretch a
thread, sometimes two, along each drill
at about two inches from the ground, sup
porting it at that height by little forkcd
sticks If you put it much higher than

docs not touch them; that is the grand
secret, something they do not well see,
nor know what it means.

PANY of the United States of America,
wants an agent in every town in the

the Company are its great financial

FRANKLIN gave excellent advice to peo-
pie who desired success in life; and yet
his rules were by no means infallible. A
man may, by industry and economy, ac-
cumulate large amount of property, and
in the end he may lose it. 1t is one thing
TO make money, and quite another to keep
it. There is no doubt that a life insJlr-
ance policy in a good company is a good
investment in the majority of instances.
The money is paid when the family most
need it, and it is usually beyond the reach
of creditors. We do not hesitate to re-
commend the New York Life Insurance
Company as one of the strongest and best,
to all who seek insurance

Ten Hen and Chicken Rules.

THE following ten rules, applicable to
setting hens and young chickens, are con-
tributed to the Cincinnati Times, by a
lady:
l. Never set hen in close box; give
her plenty of room to turn about; she
3 Always set her on the ground, if pos
sible. The eggs will hatch best with the
nest directly on the ground.
3. Don't give a hen more than thirteen
eggs for setting. l know fifteen is the
rule, but experience has taught me to CON
slider fifteen just two too many.
t. Be careful to mark the eggs, for other
hens are apt to lay in the nest with your
setter, and unless the eggs are properly
marked you might not be able to identify
the neeo eggs. You understand that eggs
laid to a setting hen must be promptly re-
moved.
s. Make a record of the time when you
set your hen, in order that you may be
looking out for the Matching.
6. Some eggs will invariably hatch a
little sooner than others. Remove the
Young chicks at once, and keep them from
the hen until all are Matched. If you do
not, the hen will be likely to quit the nest
with the first corners, leaving the I'M
Matched chicks to chill and die.
z Don't pick at the bills of the little
chicks in an effort to remove what some
people call the pip" 1t is all right, and
will disappear as soon as nature requires.
s. Never undertake to feed your setting
hens on the nest; it is Il poor way. Let
them come off for their food. They will
not stay off too long. Nature knows
what she is about. The eggs require about
the amount of airing they receive while
the hen is off for food.
8. See that the hens do not run about
too much while the chicks are yet young
1t will cause them to droop, and will
sometimes give them Il disease called the
"spraddles."
10 Feed your young chicks on corn
meal mixed with pure water, and don't
mix it too wet You want it SO that il
will crumble

1t is an infirmity of man to cling to the
teachings of a past generation, and to stub
bornly resist the light of reform and pro-

New Method of Making Beef Tea
In order to meet the daily want Of con
ccntratcd fluid meat food, want not sup
piled by beef essence as ordinarily made,
Dr. II. c. Wood has invented the follow
ing process, and found in practice that it
worked well: Take Il thin rImp steak of
beef, lay it upon board, and with Il case
knife scrape it. In this way red pulp
will be obtained, which contains pretty
much everything in the steak, excepting
the fibrous tissue. Mix this red pulp
thoroughly with three times its bulk of
cold water-stirring until the bulk is com
pletcly difIused. Put the whole upon II
moderate fire, and allow it to come slowly
to boil, stirring all the time to prevent
the caking of the pulp. In using this do
not allow the patient to strain il, but stir
the settings thoroughly into the fluid.
One TO three fluid ounces of this may he
given at IA time, and will be found 10 he

The Habit of Reading.

81 HAVE no time to read" is the common
complaint, and especially ofwomen, whose
occupations are such as to prevent con
tinuOus book perusal. They seem to think,
because they cannot devote as much at
tenton to books as they are compelled to
devote to their avocations, that they can
not read anything. But this is IA great
mistake. 1t isn't the books we finish at a
sitting which always do us the most good.
Those we devour in the odd moments,
half dozen pages at "A time, often give us
more satisfaction, and are more thorough
" digested than those we make Il partlcu-
lar effort to read. The men who have
made their mark in the world have gene
rally been the men who have IN hoyhood
formed the habit of reading at every
available moment whether for five min
uteS or five hours.
1t is the habit of reading rather than
the time at our command that helps us on
the road TO learning. Many of the most
cultivated persons, whose names have
been famous rs students, have given only
two or three hours day to their books.
If we make use of spare minutes III the
midst of our work, and read Il little, If but
IA page or paragraph, we shall find our
brains quckened and our toll Hghtcned
bv Just so much increased satisfaction as
the book gives us. Nothing helps along
the monotonous daily round so much as
fresh and striking thoughts, to be consid-
cred while our hands are busy. y new
idea from a new volume is like oil which
reduces the friction of the machinery of
life What we remember from brief
glimpses into books often serves as Il
stimulus to action and becomes one of
the most precious deposits in the treasury
of our recollection. All knowledge is
made up of small parts, which would
seem insignificant in themselves, but
which, taken together, are valuable wca-

ously,' says DR.. johnson, and you will
