Making Cows Give Milk.

A writer in Southern Farm says
that his COW gives all the milk that is
wanted in a family of eight, and
that from it, after taking all that is
required for other purposes, 260
pounds of butter were made this
year. This is in part his treatment
OF the COW:
"If YOU desire to pet large yield of
rich milk give your cows every day
water slightly salted, in which bran
has been stirred at the rate OF Que
quart to two gallons of water. You
will find if you have not tried this
daily practice, that your COW will
give 25 per cent NOSE milk imne-
diately under the effect Of 10, aad she
will become so attached 20 the diet
rs to refuse to drink clear water un-
less very thirsty. But this mess she
will drink almost any time and ask
for more. The amount of this drink
nescessary is an ordinary water pail
at time, morning, noon and night.

Divorce.

Marriage is the 6rst social law OF
nature. God instituted it. By His
first great law husband and wife
become one. Man and woman should
think we'll before entering into this
sacred relation. To violate its obli-
cations is to sin against revelation
and nature. It is sacrilege. When
and courts step in and
grant divorces on slight grounds they
violate Gods supreme law and bring
down Gods curse on society. Social
corruption follows with rapid steps
wherever divorce laws become loose.
It is to be hoped our Georgia courts
will not initiate the courts of Chica-
go and New England. There is
tendency to let down the law in order
to accommodate the low notions Of
the negroes as TO marriage. It is
bette to keep the law pure and let
them and white people suffer if they
break it. Christ taught divine dec
trine when he declared adultery the
only ground of divorce. Society will
do we'll to heed Bis teachings. Ifa
man and woman cannot live together
let Ahem separate. but never let the
state undo what God has done
"Whom God hath joined together
let not man put asundsr" Let those
who apply tor divorces tor any other
cuss than adultery go north and live
in Chicago or Boston. Keep south
ern society pure and southern law
sacred.-Ex.

SPARRows AS RoBBERs An amusing
bit of impeT. lencs on tbs part Of the im-
migrans hotNa-spa rovv i eeen IN his habit
Of stealing earth worms from our great,
clumsy native American robin. AS every
body knows, the robin is not little skill
full in extracting earth worms from their
burrows in land covered with short grass,
as in pastures, lawns and yards. The bird
quickly detects the worms head, SIS the
creature lies resting near the mouth of its
burrow, and seizes it by sudden blow
with the beak. The head of the worm
once firmly grssped, the robin straddles
his legs apart, braces himself firmly, and
gradually lifts his head to the uttermost,
and thus slowly, by what is manifestly
powerful and fstiguing effort, drags out
the resisting worm. Having succeeded in
an important enterprise, the bird very
naturally pauses for a moment to take
breath and at this critical instant of time
sparrow steps forward, out of squad Of
these birds which have been watching the
robins proceedings, quietly takes the worm
from the robins mouth, and incontinently
flies away with it, leaving the original
possessor in blank amazement.- From

VINO WAS SOLD "A good story is told
at the expense of the Assessors in . town
of Norfolk county. A few years since,
when the tax bills came out, farmer went
before the Board and asked for an abate.
ment on the tax of wood lot. His re.
quest was refused so he went quietly TO
work and cut the wood from the lot, and
said nothing. The next year the Assessors
did not think it necessary to view the wood
lot, as some of the Board had inspected it
the year before, and so marked the valua.
tion the same. Again the owner appeared
and asked for reduction Of tax, saying it
was too much.
"Will you sell the LOT at the valuation ?''
asked one of the Assessors. The crafty
farmer hesitated moment, and then, pre-
tending that he saw the drift of the ques-
tion, said he would
81 will take it, said the Assessor.
The farmer hung fire for while, but
finally said he could have it.
In due time the papers were passed, snd
when the new owner visited his possession
and found acres of sprout land where he
expected cords of heavy wood, his wrath
can be imagined.
