From the Peoria (Ill.) Transcp ptl

(Fron the Peoria (1n.) Transcript
A physician in this city was called in
some time ago to attend an elderly Ger
man lady in the lower portion of the
city. On arriving at the domicile in
question be fonnd out that hone of the
family spoke English. As he had no
knowledge of German, the matter was
somewhat complicated. He ascertained
that the disease from which the old lady
was suffering was eryeipel,s, and pro-
ceeded by signs to indicate the treat
ment. He took q feather, dipped it in
milk end applied to the lady's face, on
which the disease had appeared. He
then made signs indicating that this was
to BIZ repeatedly followed. Knowing
nothing about the proper medical treat
ment for erysipelas, we cannot say why
this was done, but suppose it was done
to reduce inflammation. The doctor de.
parted, satis fed his instructions would
be carried out. Returning next day. he
met German woman at the door who
could speak q little English, aud asked
her if his directions had been under
stood. ITO be sure they were. Do
you take me for q geese?" she re-
sponded. The doctor entered and ap-
preached the bedside, but 1t first was
unable to distinguish his patient. Moth
ing but mass of fluff and feathers met
his gaze, and nothing could be heard but
the heavy breathing of his patient. The
people had misunderstood his signal, as
to applying milk with q feather repeat
odly, and had construed it to mean more
feathers were to be put on, and the pa
TENTS face was plastered with feathers
and milk from the forehead to the chin,
sticking up like ducks back in gale
of wind. The doctor doesn't brag much
now on his linguistic attachments.

A Many Years Ago,

Forty years ago the lecturer and lec-

Of regular winter occurrence, discussing
" Which was the greatest man, George
Washington or Christopher Colum-
bus ?" or "What invention had been
the most useful to mankind, the art of
printing, or the mariners compass ?"
The land was free for all to shoot over.
Breechloaders and "shells or Gear
tridges were unthought of. Gunners
cut their own wads, poured the charge
of powder into the muzzle, then hand
full of shot, adjusted the percussion cap
and banged away. But if the fowling
piece was not improved the game of ev-
cry description was far more plentiful.
The trunk of the period was covered
with sealskin, the bristly hair outward
aud studded with sm,u brass nails.
Valises were long and narrow. Saddle
bags were not out of date. City hotels
called the guests to meals by the gong
or dinner bell. The landlord sat at the
head of the table and carved the break
fast steak. The guests dined together
all at the same hour. Dioner was
served with great parade and formality.
The walters removed the covers from

be carved aside tables. The splendors
OF the Astor House were almost rever-
entially talked OF in country homes.

Farmer Boys,

IF you wish to drive boys from the
farm, send them out to cut green wood
at the back door and tell them they must
get up at five o'clock and make q fire
from it. Send them to milk by lantern
light in the dead OF winter, when the
cold winds are blowing through the
cracks of the harm. Have them drive
the cattle to water and be obliged to
chop hole in the ice in order to let
them drink. Let them carry water the
year ronnd up hill from spring. Have
them turn the grindstone for hours.
"Send them out to pull wool from the
dead carcass of sheep when they have
to hold the nose with one hand aud pull
with the other." Make them do all the
drudgery and d,sagreeable work to be
found to he done on the farm, giving the
pleasant work to the hired man. Tell
them there is no time to go fishing,
coasting or hunting. And when you
come to your meals, when everything
should be pleasant and you should have
q smile on your face, cry out and say,
"We are going to have = drouth, and we
will have to 20 to the poorhouse;" and
" The season is 60 wet there will be q
failure of crops and will not be able to
pay my taxes" Fret and scold about
everything flat does not go just right.
These, and many other things that could
be mentioned, are driving the sons from
the farm.

Influence Of Food ON Milk.

The influence of food upon the quality
of milk has called forth, first and last,
much discussion and in this country it
is generally conceded that food has much
to 10 with it. The contrary opinion,
however, has some advocates who base
their conclusions mostly upon the ex.
periments made by DR.. Kuhn ct the
Moeckern Agricultural Station in Sax
ony. It is claimed that he demonstrated
that the feeding of a COW has nothing to
do with the quality of milk, ana the nee.
essary consequence is that we can not
increase the ratio or proportion of cream
or butter in a cows milk by any change
of food, however rich it may be. This
is so much at variance with the txperl.
ence of dairy men on this side Of the
ocean that most people are skeptioal
about these experiments. Curiosity led
to an Investigation Of the methods EN-
ployed in these experiments and the
revelations were not little surprising.
The milk of Saxon COWS, if tho agricul-
tural reports are to ba credited, is Of re-
malkable richness, four and five quarts
yielding pound Of butter. We venture
to say that such COWS are not found any,
where outside of Saxony. The oonclu-
sion is irresistible that the statement in
these reports, as we'll as the doctor him.

allowance.
