Bitter Milk.

When COW nears her period of calv-
ing the quality of the milk under
goes q change, and it is frequently
bitter. There is no help for it but
to let the COW go dry. But some
times there are other causes for the
change, and pinch of saltpeter or a
spoonful of salt put into each pail of
milk may remove the bitterness. Some
times the COW may be out of health and
the blood is charged with bile. Then
the eyes appear yellow and the milk is
of a yellowish- green tinGe and the bile
may cause the milk to taste bitter. Ii
such is the case desc of salts (eight
ouncee) with an ounce of ginger given
to the COW may remove the trouble.

WeaninG Young Pigs.

The time of weaning may depend on
the disposition to be made of the dams.
If these are to be bred again for fall
litters, the pigs may be weaned when
eight or ten weeks old. In this case it
is best to wean gradually. Withhold
the sow's feed altogether. and let her
be shut away from the pigs. Let them
be together at first twice and then once
a day for few days, when they may be
permanently separated; or. if this is too
much trouble, take the larger pigs
away, and let one or two of the smaller
ones run with the SOW few days. If
the sows are to be fatted in the fall or
fall litters are not wanted, they and the
pigs may be safely left to settle the
question. 1t will, however, save the
SOW and pigs some worrying if they are
separated. At three months is very
good time to do this.

Women Us Doctors.
The success of some of the ladies
who have graduated from the wolneu's
medical college of Philadelphia seems
to answer the question whether women
can safely be entrusted with the healing
of sick humanity. One of them, DIR.
Emma Boon, has just been appointed
assistant physician to the insane in the
Philadelphia almshouse, and another,
DIR. Emily Dubois, district physician in
two wards of that city. The Philadel-
phis Times adds:

ted from the college and have earned

graduate of the Iowa medical college
is the chief, and DR.. Jane Carver is
another assistant. DIR. Agnes johnson,

asylum. One is the resident physician
in the nursery and child's hospital,

which gives them enough for comfort
but not for extravaganza, their wives
are obliged to be very careful in their
expenditure, and their daughters are
brought up in strict economy
Therefore, after q German young lady
has left school her real work begins.
If she happens to have a great talent
for music, everything else is given up,
and she devotes all her time and energy
to the cultivation of that talent, until
she appears as one of the great players
of Germany.
If it seems likely she will remain in
mediocrity, she is not encouraged in
throwing away her time in musical
practice, but she then qualities herself
for being help to her mother by learn
ing cookery. dressmaking, ironing, pick
ling and preserving vegetables for the
winter.
As rule, German gentlemen do not
care for beauty in wife if not accom-
panied by more enduring qualities, and
they are very cautious in choosing a
partner for life.
Before ingratiating himself with the
young lady, the gentleman first asks her
fathers consent to visit at his house
that he may observe the young lady in
her domestic relations toward her
parents, sisters, brother and servants.
If her conduct toward them is ire
proachable and he thinks she will make
good wife, he engages himself to her
by exchanging rings, for in Germany
men all have wedding rings.
The young lady then begins to make
her rousseau, which is no trifie, for not
only has she to provide her own ward
robe, but all the furniture, household
linen, ornaments, crockery, pots and
kettles-in short, everything necessary
for the new establishment.

which met here to-day, was one of the
largest and most spirited ever held in
the county.
Senator Sherman was made permanent
President. On taking the chair he made
a speech discussing briefly the national
and State questions that are to form the
political issues of the immediate future.
His declaration that the Republican po-
siUion was in favor of tariff for protec-
ton of labor as well as revenue, and the
party planted itself on the principles Of
the Scott law as right and polite, in
that it required the liquor traffic to pay
its Just proportion of taxes, was heartily
applauded.
A full list of delegates, uninstructed,
was appointed to the State Convention,
headed by Senator Sherman, and resolu-
tions we're passed in favor Of protective
tariff and State taxation of the liquor
