Best Method of Preserving Posts.

REFERRING to the well-known meth
ods of preserving posts and poles which
are partly imbedded in the earth. by
charring and coating with tar, the
Scientific american says these methods
are only effective when both are applied.
Should the poles only be charred, with
out the subsequent treatment with tar,
the charred formation on the surface
would only act as an absorber of the
moisture and, if anything hasten the de-
cay. By applying a coating of tar, ac-
cording to the same authority, the tar
would only form casing about the
wood, nor could it penetrate 10 the
depths which the absorbing properties
of the charcoal surface would insure.
Wood that is exposed to the action of
water or let into the ground should first
be charred and then, before it has en-
tirely cooled, be treated with tar until
the wood is thoroughly impregnated,
says the journal in question. The acetic
acid and oils contained in the tar are
evaporated by the heat and only tina
resin left behind, which penetrates the
pores of the wood and forms an air-tight
and waterproof envelope. 1t is i'm
portant to impregnate the posts little
above the line of exposure, for here it is
that the action of decay affects the wood
first and where the break always occurs
when removed from the earth or strained
in testing, t f..... .I.....r-i. u

Feeding Cows.

= ONE of the most savOry, economical
and healthy kinds of foods for a small
dairy ration to be mixed with other sorts
is linseed meal, or as some call it oil
meal. Butthe misfortune now is the great
difficulty of getting it pure; and If not
pure, ii may prove injurious rather than
beneficial for the animals to which 1t is
fed. One way of adulterating linseed
as well as cotton seed meal, is to mix
ground plaster ofparis with it. AS this
is much heavier than the meal and does
not cost perhaps one fifth as much, .
small measure Of the former added to a
hundred pounds of the latter, increases
its weight considerably with only a
slight addition of its bulk.
Pure linseed meal may be easily
known by its color. which is dark red
dish brown; but deception can be made
by adding matter to the meal which
will impart this shade when the MKT
ure shows too light color by the use OF
plaster of paris. There is another test.
however, as to the purity of linseed
meal, which is more certain, and easily
acquired, and that is the taste and
smell, and anyone on handling the un,
adulterated at the mill, will soon ac-
quire an accurate judgment Oft. 4isaw
The surest and most economical way,
however, would be TO buy the linseed
(aaxseed) before being ground, boil II
in water to thin mucilage and then
feed each COW as much Of this per day
as half pound of the seed would make
This mucilage can be mixed with bran
or Indian meal, cut hay or straw, oi
with boiled and mashed roots. or any
other food proper for cow Cor N

INCREASING THE Milk OF Cows. -
Gentle treatment and rapid and close
milking will tend to the greatest de-
velopment Of the milk in cows and the
contrary practices will have the effect
of materially reducing the quantity.
Above all, give them an abundance OF
the best feed.
A CONNECTICUT dairyman, who has
been experimenting with turnips as
food for cows, thinks they are worth
twenty-five cents per bushel. There was
nosavingin the amount Of hay consumed,
but they increased the flow OF milk,
and were an aid to the digestion of hay
and other dry fodder. European ex-
perimenters have come to the same
conclusion.
ONE of the first and most important
lessons the milk-producer has to learn
is cleanliness of stable, of cows, OF milk
ing etc.; if cleanliness be neglected and
filthiness prevail, the milk from cows in
such stable cannot reach the city in a
good, wholesome condition. To be
kept clean cows must be bedded with
straw or sand; the latter is good where
il can be had when other materials is
wanting. The milker must be not only
cleanly but a clean person. Milk
readily absorbs odors where slovenli-
ness prevails. VIII you heed these
hints and suggestions, dairymenf
A CORRESPONDENT of the New En-
gland Farmer gives the following de-
scription of milking stool which he says
he likes better than any he ever used:
" Take board eight inches wide and
eighteen long. and nail another piece
eight inches square, on the top side, at
one end to sit on; on the under side,
about four inches from the front end,
nail on cleat about three inches wide,
crosswise, to prevent its splitting, and
also to hold the front leg more firmly;
now bore two holes in the back end and
one in the front end, through the center
of the cleat, in which to insert the legs;
make the front leg six inches long and
the back ones two inches longer. Now
when you go to milk take this stool
along with you and sit down astride of
it and put the pail on the other end of
it, between your knees; you can then
hold it easily and in a position not easily
tipped over"

AT FIFTY.

YGs, fifty is a great age-people seem
to think it is; q half century. I have
felt 1t as I looked back upon the years
i have felt it as 1 looked before me in
the glass; 1 have felt it in the society OF
Belle and her mates; l have felt it when
people treated me with the cool polite

But I hated all along to be growing

could not sit outdoors of an evening

take the old rambles and rides of my
youth unless fatigued; that instead OF
thrilling freshly in every nerve to the
beauty Of sunset and scenery as used
to do, / quivered only in remembering
howi used to thrill.
And then, too, dreaded to be old,
thinking if some day-some day-Mas-
kelyn should see me, and pass by with
out knowing me, or, If knowing me,
knowing only to suffer mortal shock at
the sight; never thinking that Maskelyn

very air we breathed famed to and fro
in the fragrance, full of the dark, sweet
mystery Of love. 1t seemed as II all the
would had been made just to come To
