A good deal depends upon the treat

A good deal depends upon the treat
ment which the COW receives. II well
fed, it is UNNECESSARY to dry them off
three or four months before calving.
Yet, as they are pretty general treated.
1t needs all the time to recruit their
exhausted energies, and gathering
strength for their new demand. A
COW giving milk requires double the
food to keep in the same condition
that she does when dry. Now if
properly fed, a rest one month perhaps
might answer A COW is better off in
all respects, if she is kept warm and
quiet, and tolerable well fed, than to
be kicked around and exposed to the
weather even though she may be al
lowed to go dry tw ice as long. Some
farmers seem to think that if their
cows go dry three or four months they
will come ont all right. They turn
them out in the old fields, never feed
them, never see them, do not know
where they are. Cows are not all
alike. do not have the same habits,
and should be managed accordingly.
A cow thin in flesh, and run down,
should be dried off early in the season.
A COW strong, and in good health,
may be MIXED nigh mp to the time
Of calving, and she will do well.

large and other organs to assume a
normal condition, the requirements, of
nature will have been satisfied and this
is which should be required.

What There is in Wheat.

The wheat grain is Il fruit consist
ing ola seed and its coverings. All
the middle part of the grain is occu-
pied by large, thin cells, full of n
pnwdery substance, which contains
nearly all the starch of the wheat.
Outside the central starchy mass is a
single row of squarish cells filed with
yellowish material, very rich in nitro
genous, that is, fiesh- forming matter.
Beyond this again there are six thin
coats of covering, containing much
mineral matter, both Of potash and
phosphates. The outermost coat is OF
but little value. The mill products
of these covering of the seed are Pc
culiarly rich in nutriment, and fine
flower is robbed of q large percent
age of valuable and nutritious food.
Middling not only contain more
fibrin and mineral matter than fine
flour, but also more fat. The fibrous
matter, or outer coat, which is indi-
gestible, forms one sixth of the bran,
bntnot one-hundreth of the fine -four.
Wheat contains the greatest quantity
of gluten and the smallest of starch
rye, a medium proportion of both,
while in barley, oats, and corn, the
largest proportion of starch and the
smallest of gluten are to be found.
in practice 100 pounds of flour will
make from 1873 to 1877 pounds OF
bread, good average being 13G
pounds; hence a barrel of 1876 pounds
should yield 226 one-pound loaves.-

He Froze to his Seat.

front seat in car filled with young

his, and there stood near him expect

"She's standing" said the swell
again.
Eyes. l see she's standing. She
ought to thank God she's able to
stand"
"But she's a lady and you ought to
give her your seat"
"Ought to, eh."
"Ycs."
"For why?"
"Because she's a lady, desires to
sit down, and it's no etiquette to
allow ladies to stand in cars while a
gentleman occupies a seat"
"See here, mister; you may think
You are talking sense, but You are not.
Circumstances alter cases. If that
was either an elderly lady, weak
looking lady, or woman tired from
work, would willingly give her my
seat, as tired as am, for I've teen
working hard all day. But I'll bet a
weeks wages that that girl there can
begin now, walk four miles to a ball
dance all night and then walk home
in the morning; l couldn't walk a
mile and would break down in the
first set. So you will observe that cir
cumstances alter cases-'truth is
mighty and must prevail" l will

The opinion of the court was well
received by all except the smart young
man; even the fair standing candidate
for seat felt proud over the high
compliment paid her.

New Burial Of Sir John Moore.

Not drum was heard, because the
drummer was not feeling very well and
asked to be excused nor funeral

his farewell shot DER the grave where
the remains Of John Moore were
deposited. The farewell shot business
was omitted on account of the scarcity
of ammunition. We buried him
/darkly at the dead Of night and did the
best job of it we could under the cir
cumstances. We could not borrow,
beg or steal pick or shovel in the
entire neighborhood, and were obliged
to turn the sod with our bayonets,
which, by the way, was the first that
had been turned with said bayonets
since we had been drafted. We did
all this by the struggling moonbeans'
misty light and the lantern dimly
burning, with just half enough oil in it,
and strip ofan old flannel shirt for a
wick. Few and short were the prayers

Hints on House Furnishing.

Women like TO make pretty things.
They have a Kind OF birthrighL 10
this, AS inalienable as their right 10
lie, liberty and the pursuit ol ca
reer and now that women are com
ing TO take hold of household design,
we shall have rooms that meau some
thing. 1t is not the cost, but the
taste that determines the results. A
room may be made Just as artlsti-
cally beautiful for 800 AS for $1,000.
The same shades, designs and gener-
al harmonies Of effect can be observ.
ed, and the room be as attractive as

halls, and both this and the border

ings in deeper shades. For drawing
rooms and library the ornamentatiOn
should always be at the top of the
room. The fringe should emphasize
the color and designs OF the paper,
and richer elegance is added by vel
vet edges of the prevailing tint OF the
room, under which are the gilt rods
for picture hanging. One looks
naturally at trieze and ceiling, but
an introduction of color or form on
that part of the wall partly concealed
by furniture, makes u want of har-
mony aud iatigucs the eye.
The carpet is prettiest chosen about
two-thirds the size of the room, lcav-
ing the space to be completed by a
border that repeats in deeper shades
the colors Of the center. No glare
of color is tasteful. The most ee-
giant carpets are in tho moss shades,
as ground of rich brown with
sprays of fern and here and there and
there is shown ground of moss
green with sprays OF golden red and
u tint of cardinal here and there.
IN hangings, for those who can not
afford TO bar out Heavens sunlight at
rate of $3.50 per window in draperics
of silk and iute and Machrame lace,
there are other ways. The material
Is of little moment, the form is every
thing, Choose plain color always,
as figures OH drapery are, to say the
least, fatiguing. Any soft all wool
goods, that falls in graceful lines of a
color harmonious with the general
tone of the room, will give tasteful
effect in curtains. Let them move
freely by means OF rings on u rod at
he cornice, as this will afford mcanst
for a good light on pictures. The
old fashion Of fastening curtains at
the top and parting them in the mid
die is as obsolete as the lost arts.
The Macrame lace is very pretty
when some solid color, as scarlet, old
gold Or blue, is placed under the
heading of the lace, especially on
mantels and brackets. A half-yeiled
glow of color is thus introduced. A
lovely table can be made of one OF
these little dollar tables by covering
the top with a piece of Kepsington
work, with Macrame lace over a
heading of intense color around the
edge.
Table-linen is now embroidered,
but not deliberately. The ends only
of the table-cloth should lie orna-
mented, as any work in the center is
