Care of lOMS

A correspondent of the Country Gentle
man writing on the care of cows saws:
1t is very important that cows are well
provided for in every way to afford them
the greatest comfort-the most essential
point to be considered by the dairyman.
The cows must be made quiet and COM
Portable; pure water, from springs or
pumps, is Of great Importance, and shade
sufficient for retreat from the burning
sun in the heat of the day. The neces-
sity of pure water is too often overlook
ed. The COW, painting with heat, is
forced to the stagnant puddle or pool,
covered, perhaps, with green scum. And
when to be MIXED, she is often hurried
from the pasture by dogs or inconsider-
ate boys, and the little milk in her bag is
in poor condition to furnish her inhu-
man owner with milk from which good
butter can be made. The material for
choice butter must first be manufactured
from the COW. Her general health must
be secured by an abundant supply of
blood and flesh producing elements in
all she eats and drinks. If the blood is
pure, the whole system is in q healthy
state. From her blood the milk is pro-
duced. If one is impure, so is the other,
no matter what the cause may be, and
the causes can be numbered by scores.
There are many ways that cows blood
can be affected by neglect in winter, as
in summer. If the COW is cared for in
every particular-the kind and quality
of food and drink, suitable stabiing in
winter, kind and gentle treatment in all
things toward her, she will return these
with compound interest in the pail.
Where there are defects in the milk
from any cause whatever, no skill of the
dairyman can make good butter out of
it. | am confident that those who speak
and write upon the rules of making but
ter, myself included, have too often
omitted to begin at the starting point.
True, much has been wisely said, and
good advice given by commencing at
some of the many points that occur after
milking. But the way Of procuring the
milk has been oomuch neglected. When
the milk is sound and pure there is little
left to the skill of butter-making. Per-
feet cleanliness in everything the milk
and cream comes in contact with. and
pure, sweet air, free from all offensive
odors, are the essentials after milking.
The real art of butter-making commences
before drawing the milk from the COW.
Take good care of the COW, and the most
needed reform in butter-making is COM
menced.

Fall Flowing.

This subject has always been treated
with various opinions of the effect of
moving the soil in the fall, subiecting it
to the action of frost before seeding it
with a spring crop. But the difference
of opinion has arisen from the difference
of conditions. The great advantage of
fall blowing arises from the pulverizing
effect of frost; but if the soil is light or
sandy, it needs cOmpacting rather than
pulverizing, and is thus better plowed in
spring. In discussing the different
modes of cultiyating land, farmers should
always take into consideration all the
circumstances, and the writers on agri-
cultural practice should state all the
points likely to affect the result This is
so often neglected as to lead to disap-
pointment when the practice is adopted
under new conditions. The reasons for
fall blowing has been often misunder-
stood, and the practice misapplied.
Bearing in mind that it is intended to
assist in the pulverization of stiff soils
by the action of frost, it follows that
the soil should not be wet or saturated
with water through the winter, for this
would prevent the expected action of
frost. If the land is heavy, and lies
nearly level, it should be plowed into
ridges by turning two burrows together,
which leaves quite dead furrow be-
tween each two ridges to receive the wa
ter, and these ridges will be penetrated
by the frost, and so pulverized that
when the ridge is split by large double
mouldboard pillow in spring, laying it
over each way into the furrow, the land
will be level and work up mellow for
seed-bed.
When land, with a considerable pro-
portion of clay, lies sufficiently sloping
for the surface water to run off, it should
be plowed SO as to leave the surface
rough, facilitating the action of frost.
1t is quite safe also to pillow such land
deeper in fall than in spring, because the
soil, thrown up from below the ordinary
furrow, will be so thoroughly erated,
broken down by the frost, and its unfa-
vorable acid neutralized, as to adapt it
to the immediate use Of plant growth.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOME
Indian Summer.


HI j. p. IRVINE
At last the toll encountered days are over,
And airs OF noon mellow as the morn;
The blooms are brown upon the seeding clover,
And brown the silks that plume the ripening
corn.
All sounds are hushed Of reapirg and of moving;
The winds are low. the waters lie uncurled;
Nor thistle-down gossamer Is flowing,
So lulPd in languid Incidence the world.
And vineyards wide and farms along the valley
Are mute amid the vintage and the sheayes
Save round the barns the noise of rout and sally
Among the tenant-masons Of the caves.
Altar the upland glades are fecked in dapples
By focks of lambs a-gambol from the fold
And orchards bend beneath their weight OF apples:
And groves are bright in scarlet and in gold.
But hark? hear the pheasants Hutfled drum
ming,
The turtles murmur from a distant dell,
A drowsy bee IN may tangles humming
The far, faint, tinkling tenor of q bell.
And now, from yonder beech-trunk sheer and ster-
lie
The rat-tat of the yellow-hammers bin,
The sharp staceato barking of the squirrel,
a dropping nut, and all again is still.

First Transatlantic Steamer.

The Savannah, the first steamer that
crossed any ofthe oceans, was built at
the city of New York by Francis
Ficket for Daniel Godd. Her en- yipes
were made by Stephen Vail, of Norris
town. She was launched on the 22d
of August, 1918. She could carry
only seventy-fve tons of coal and
twenty. cords of wood. Command
ed by Captain Moses Rogers and navi
gated by Stephen Rogers, both of New
London, Conn. the Savannah sailed
from the city of Savannah, Ca, on the
25th of May, 1919, bound for St. Pc

steam navigation. In a communication

Captain Rogers relates that the
steamer was seen from the telegraph
station at Cape Clear, on the southern

The NOrsemen in America.

An effort is being made in Boston to
build monument in commemoration
of the N orsemen, who are believed to
have been the first European discover
ers OF North America in The eleventh
century. A rock lying in the Taunton
river, in the town of Dighton, and
known as the Dighton rock, has long
been puzzle to local archaologists be-
cause OF certain Inscriptions upon it
which they have been unable to read,
and which they have been inclined to
ascribe to the Morse discoveries. On
the other hand, persons are not want
ing who argue that the inscriptions on
the rock are not different ia character
from many others found in the coun-
try, and which are ascrbed to the In:
daDs. The Danish Society of Anti
q1ariaos at Copenhagen was at one
time induced to purchase the rock, but
1t was redeemed by the efforts of some
gentlemen Of Boston. The testimon y
of the Danish archaologists is not de-
cisive. They have found, we are told
a conjecturaI Interpretation for small
portion of the inscription; but it still
remains doubtful whether it is or is not

The fraternization of Northern and
Southern Metho?ists in St. Louis is an
event which must strike every sensible
man IN the most favorable light. Ever
since the war the two Methodisms have
been holding each other at arm s
length, and, while not exactly breath
ing out threatenings and slaughter,
have been turning each other the cold
shoulder in way that gave the lie to
their professions of Christianity, and
rendered them proverb to the people
of the world, who could not believe in
the sincerity of their love for sinners,
so long as they exhibited a disposition
to be intolerant and unforgiving toward
each other. By their determination
they partially remove this '.stope of
stumbling, and by organic union they
would completely annihilate the rock
