She Outwitted Them.

Mrs. Townsley is Yankee woman.
She came from the quiet of the Green
Mountain State to visit her nieces in
this city. Like all Vermont women.
she was practical, quick-witted and
fearless. She had been in the city for
two weeks. Yesterday she entered the
Grand Central Depot to take the train
for her home. Miss Alice, her niece,
who resides on East Twenty-fifth street,
accompanied her to the train. Mrs.
Townsley put her hand into her pocket
her purse was gone. She began to
talk somewhat excitedly and a crowd of
men formed in circle about her.
'.Auntie, let me pay your fare. Just
see the crowd!' whispered the blushing
girl.
"Wait and see me dispense Them"
said the aunt as she became as calm as
the lake in Central Park.
Gentlemen, am from Vermont.
am poor woman, and l have lost my
pocket-book. You all appear to be
deeply interested in my case. Maybe
you will kindly make up the little
amount have lost"
Before the Vermont woman could ex-
tend her hand to receive the donations
the men had vanished-then she found
her pocket-book.-N. Y. World.

Cleanliness i'm the Dairy.

At five o'clock l am in the COW
stables The feed prepared the nigh
before is put into the feed boxes, which
are first cleared out of all remnants OF
former feed, and, if sour, they are
secured out with water and broom.
While the cows are eating they are
thoroughly carded and brushed
well as any well-kept horse is-and all
over, from head TO switch. The udder
is sponged, if necessary, and wiped
with a clean towel and not dungy
rag. The cutters are then cleaned out.
and the stalls; common road-broom
being used to finish after q broad
scraper, which draws the manure
down to the trap-doors and into the
cellar The floor and cutters are then
filtered well with sawdust, when we
have no straw. For fifteen cows this
takes an hour. Then l go to break
fast. At half-past six the cows are
MIXED, and each mixer has overalls
and an apron made of striped tick
inr. with which he can milk in
his Sunday clothes and slippers, if he
likes; and any lady may go in with .
silk dress on and not hurt it. As the
milk is drawn it is strained at once into
the deep pals which stand on the plat
form and are kept covered; the milk
pals have strainers and double
strainer is kept in the deep cans. so
that the milk goes through three
strainers. But this is not really neces.
sary, as 1 would cheerfully drink q
glass of the milk direct from the cow as
| milk it. But, out of consideration for
my customers who buy my butter and
milk, 1 put the milk through three
strainers. As soon as the deep pals are
full, they are closed and carried to the
milk-house and handed to the person
who sets the milk in the pool or in the
creamery, or, if it is put into shallow
pans, strain it once more. Now, there
is nothing hard to do about this, 1t is.
so easy after having begun it and got
into the way of it, that it would be
hard to stop it. And l don't see how il
is easy to be cleaner than we are in our
dairy. If you can show US the way, we
will certainly walk in it.-IoWa Cor. o.

Photography Of Love.

A Madrid photographer has, accord
ing to the Archiu, had a strange sitter
to deal with lately. A young lady came
to his studio to have her portrait taken.
Having placed her in position, he turned
to arrange his camera, when, casting a
last glance at the posing belle before re-
moving the cap from the lens, he was
Mortified to see that she was holding the
muzzle of a revolver to her temple.
"Stop! stop!'' he cried; ..you surely do
not mean to kill yourself! You would
ruin my business! and, besides, it would
be pity to spoil that pretty facet" The
lady laughingly replied: at gives me
no pleasure to spoil one of your most
beautiful productions, but will tell you
what l mean. My betrothed has de-
serted me, and intend to send him q
copy of my photograph in this position,
with the remark that if he does not re-
turn Immediately l shall pull the trigger.
This astonishing intention was duly car
ried out, and few weeks later the pho
tographer had the pleasure of taking
the newly married couple without the
revolver, which apparently had done its
work harmlessly.

Grain for Mich Cows.

There appears to be a great difference
of opinion on this subject, even among
intelligent farmers. While some be.
lieve in feeding considerable quantities
CT shorts, Others declare that shorts dry
up the milk. While some believe there
is nothing better than cotton-seed meal,
others insist upon it that cotton-seed
meal Injuries the health OF the cow, and
ought never to be fed except in very
small quantities, and while some be-
lieve in feeding large quantities of In
dian meal, others say it Injuries milch
COW quite rs much as cotton-Sced meal,
and should be fed with caution. Why
this difference of opinion9 Are cows
so unlike, or is it the different methods
of feeding? or is it not the difference in
the fodder? Most likely the last named
makes most of the difference of opinion.
When fodder is given that is deficient
in fat, then cotton-seed or Indian meal
will make up the deficiency, but when
the fodder is rich in fat, furnishing as
much of this material as the cow needs,
then cotton-seed or Indian meal would
be no benefit if not a positive damage.
So there may be a difference OF opinion
and yet all be right so far as his practice
is concerned.
Every farmer needs intelligence
enough to be able to understand the ma
ture of the fodder he feeds out, so that
he may be able to make up daily ra-
ton for his milch cows, and his other
cattle, so as to supply the wants of
each class in manner that will prevent
waste.
1t must not be forgotten that cattle
which are being fatted need different
ration from mich cows or young cattle,
and it should also be kept in mind that
when poor hay is being fed out, more
grain must be given than when good
hay is being fed. When the farmer
fully understands Just what it is best to
mix with poor fodder 10 make it equal
in nutritive qualities to the wants of the
animal that is to be fed, he will be able
to make his cattle consume his poor
fodder, and still keep in as good condi-
ton as when fed on the best of fodder.
II he wishes to feed considerable GUAM
titles of Indian or cotton-seed meal, he
must feed poorer quality of fodder
than if he desires to keep his cattle
without grain. If mich cows are to be
made to give the largest quantity of
milk possible for short time, without
regard to their future condition, they
should be fed with the best and richest
fodder, and also large quantities of cot
ton-seed meal; but when this is done it
is usually at the expense of their future
health and s.-Massachusetts

A Defense Of Sport.

tremely clever with his books, his
mathematics, his deferential calculus

norant of those forces which still con-
troll the minds and hearts of men in the
nineteenth century as they did in the
fifteenth. Certain it is that great num-
bers of what are called well educated
people at the present day pass years and
years practically indoors, and morally
looking. out over the. world through
pink-tinted glass for the preservation of
the eyesight. Everything that passes
before them, whether matters that affect
an empire or an individual, takes the
same tint; all things are judged from
the same artificial standpoint, and never
on their own basis. This may be very
able and well intentioned. but what oc-
ours? The forces which dominate the
world, the passions and ambitions,
hatreds and jealousies. steadily march
onward, utterly refusing to listen to
these theories, and by and by war, or
some national CONFUSION, throws things
into confusion. A statesman must be
sportsman, or, what comes to the same
thing, he must move in contact with the
actualities of nature; he must take his
thought from the earth as it is, from
man as he is, direct, and not from the
pale images of books. Then he will
lead by virtue of the genius springing
in his heart, and he will be successful
because his course will correspond with
observed truth.-Cor. National RerieW.

Peculiarities in the Flavor Of Milk.

Of two cows, running together IN
the same pasture. one may give sweet
milk and the other bitter. In most
cases of this kind, when careful exami-
nation is made, it will be found that
there is something in the pasture which
one animal will eat that another will
not; that makes the bitterness; it may
be rag-weed, May-weed, Johnswort, or
daisy, or something similar. The milk
of one COW in dairy became peculiar
in flavor, when the milk of all the rest
was the same as usual, and this in
pasture where nothing but grass and
clover grew. By close watching it was
found, after awhile, that the strange
flavor came from habit one COW had
acquired of reaching over fence ant
cropping the Cicuta, which grew along
the fence on the other side. and which
none of the other cows would touch. The
same food, however, does not always
affect the same animal or the same per,
son alike; a circumstance which results
from constitutional idiosyncrasy. The
effect from this cause sometimes varies
SO widely that what is a luxury
for one is poison for another.
1t often happens that the cheese
which one man would pay high price
for as a luxury, would poison another
man TO death, and the same is true OF
other kinds of food which people use,
and the same is, no doubt, true of
what animals eat. Just what makes
the difference in the flavor of the milk
of certain cows cannot, therefore, al
ways be told with certainty, but gener-
ally watchful inspection of all that re-
lates to the animals giving the peculiar
milk will reveal the cause. Bitterness
oftener occurs in the winter than in the
summer, and is more difficult to trace
to its cause. 1t is then frequently ow-
ing partly to the peculiar state OF
health and partly to the food; the same
food not producing the same flavor at
other times. When only one or two,
out of a number of COWS, have their
milk affected the cause can generally be
ascertained by changing the food an
item at time till the cause is removed:
for instance, if corn meal is fed, change
it for bran or middlings, and if, after
waiting a sufficient time for change OF
flavor none occurs, change the hay for
fodder, cornstalks, straw or some other
kind of hay, and again wait results, and
so on till complete change is effected.
By this course the cause of bad flavor
of any kind will be pretty sure to be
discovered. If after complete change
in food has been effected no alteration
in the milk can be seen. it will be pretty
safe to conclude that the cows health
is at fault and needs looking after

Working Butter by Hand.

A "Dairymaid' asks: What harm is
there in taking butter from the churn,
or working it with the hands, if they
are clean, any more than there is in
using the hands in kneading dough for
bread, to which nobody objects?" So
far as cleanliness is concerned there is
no difference. Both are alike untidy,
as the perspiration of the hands will be
impaired to the bread and butter alike
The hands also impart warmth, which
does not iniure the bread but does in
lure the butter. If the hands are
plunged in water as hot as can be borne
for a little, and then into cold water,
and well rubbed for few minutes, the
blood may be driven away and the
hands so chilled that perspiration will
be wholly stopped for short time, and
the soiling of the butter or bread from
perspiration will be temporarily pre-
vented; but the mechanical effort
in working butter with the hands
is bad, because it makes SO much
friction, and when accompanied
with a little warmth it makes the butter
greasy. Mixing butter with the hand
is very different from pressing it with a
ladle. The hands make the poorest
kind of butter ladle, besides being
Objectionable from being untidy by i'm
parting warmth.-Liue Stock Journal.

THE DAIRY.

AT this time of year have a sharp
eye to the quality Of water your COWS
are daily drinking.
From an article that Is generally
well written on the subject of setting
milk for cream raising, we find the fol-
lowing statement that is new to US,
and we wonder If there is any truth in
it: at is fact" says the writer, mot
generally known, that cream rising on
the top Of a can or pan of milk pre-
vents the escape of the heat. That 10
just the reason why milk strained in
cans in a cellar, the air being at fifty
degrees, would be SO long in throwing
up its cream or cooling in the tempera-
ture of the cellar that cream and milk
would both be bitter" just how cream
would prevent the escape of heat we do
not see. On the contrary, we have
always considered oil good conductor
of heat, even better than water or
skim-milk.- DairymGn.
