he had ever made, because it made his
wife and two daughters $50 happy"
and the house was SO much more cheer
iul and pleasal t. Henceforth he con-
cluded to give third of the proceeds of
the dairy to his wife and daughters for
their own especial use, and keep two
thirds for the running expenses of the
farm. &
l know farmer who pays his two
daughters two dollars apiece each week,
and thus makes them contented to do
their share of the house-work, and not
desire to seek employment as clerks in
an adjoining town, or as seamstresses
or nurse girls; and he finds it pays well,
for his wife has competent assistants,
and the Homework is well done. The
dairy and hennery are excellently cared
for; he loses nothing by the operation,
and the daughters do not despise farm
ing, but enjoy it highly, and are happy
at home. They have a horse to drive
when they please, a lovely garden filled
with sweet flowers, and they are being
educated to make excellent wives for
good farmers, for they have been taught
to respect their calling.

A Battle of the Ants.

All day long On Wednesday, until late
IN The afternoon, a war, fierce and dead
~, was going on at the north end of the
Se'na-1roptc Office, and many thousands
OF the combatants on both sides perish
ed. About 8 o'clock our attention was
attracted by swarm of what was at
first thought to be bees perched on the
gable and flying about in close proximi-
ty. A closer examination showed them
to be small winged ants, some red and
some black, who were waging war of
determination with one another. They
would wheel and dart, now advancing.
now retreating, until at last dozen or
two would make dash, and, graphing
IN last embrace, the whole bunch
would fall to the ground together, there
to continue the combat until one or the
other was stung to death. All day long
the hight was kept up, until the ground
was strewn with the Slain. There must
have been fully quart Of dead bodies
left to tell of the sanguinary STRUGGLE
What caused the fight, or WHY it was 81
bloody and relentless, will have to be
told by some more skilled buoologisf,,
than ourself, but we saw the battle
and pointed it out to others. IT was
very singular affair, and we would like a
rational explanation of it.-Colom Sen,;-

A Darky's Test for Insanity.

A philosophic barber, who has more
than once contributed to the wisdom of
these columns, relates to us test for in
sanity, which we think comes very near
being infallible. He was talking about
the facility with which the experts clear
ed the great forgers and thieves, and
said that it was different with case IN
his neighborhood. A young darky
broke open an old darky's trunk and
stole some money from it. He was found
out, and some friends interceded with
the old man for the youngster, saying
that he was crazy. Crazy-the devil!"
said the old man. ssIf he had broken
open my trunk and put some money
thar, might have thought So" He

Hints on Milking.

Mich cows should be kept.as quie,
and comfortable as possible, and no per-
son should be employed in milking
whom the animals fear. As general
rule, it is important that the milking
should always take place at regular
hours. The same psrson should always
milk the same cows, and in the same
order each day, so far as practicable
A good dairyman should know enough
of his stock to be able to tell which OF
his cows are more difficult to milk than
others, and when any new help is in
troduced the easiest milking cows should
be assigned them.
Owing to spirit of rivalry common
among young and inexperienced per-
sons, they make an effort to get their
pals filled in the quickest possible time
consequently, drawing from each cow
as much of her milk as is given down
rapidly and readily and leaving a con-
siderable quantity behind in the udder.
They may fill their pals rapidly; but
| the interests of the owner suffer ulti-
mately. The dairyman needs to assure
himself by personal trial that one COW
is not left for another until she is fairly
MIXED out; since, though it is proper TO
draw the milk rapidly, it is even more
important to secure the last drop.
Cows that are ill-treated or roughly
handled will sometimes turn obstinate
and will hold their milk. Mixers
should study the disposition of the cows
under their charge, that they may be-
come familiar with them-fondling
them, patting and stroking them, thus Sc
curing their confidence. In driving
COWS from a pasture, they should never
be driven or hurried or made to go fast
er than moderate walk. The dairy
man should insist upon his assistants
milking properly from the very outset.
1t is far better to spend a little time in
this way at the start than to allow the
contraction of bad habits, which result
IN certain amount of loss every day in
the season.
Briefly, the end in view in milking
COWS is to empty the milk-vessels COM
pletely by means of a progressive press
ure, exerted first by the thumb and in
dex finger and subsequently by the rest
OF the fingers. Part of the milk will be
left behind unless good care be taken
not to strangle the nipple, as it were, at
its base before pressing it, thus render
ing part of the force applied of no avail.
inexperienced persons sometimes think
that they get on faster by proceeding
hastily to the alternating movements
required in milking. This is very
great mistake, resulting in an incom-
plete milking, to begin with, unneees-
sary fatigue to the operator, and good
deal OF distress to the COW. The milk
ers should always have their nails cut
short; and, if cows teats are painful
from Inflammation or other cause, care
shoald be taken not to increase her suf-
ferings. The teats should be anointed
with some fatty matter, free from salt.
or with few drops of milk simply.
Those who exercise the greatest care.
patience and gentleness in the matter of
cows will be rewarded with the
best results.-American Cuhirator.
