The quantity of milk that COW
gives depends much upon the mode and
regularity of milking. Cows do best
that have one regular mixer, and the
time of milking should be carefully at
tended to, and not be subjected to vari
atoms from day to day.-M. Y. Herald.
A Massachusetts, farmer, whom the
Manchester Mirror describes as ''wide-
awake and invariably successful in crop
ping" does all his blowing in the fall,
and merely harrows his fields twice in
the spring before planting or sowing.
Fowls will usually destroy wheat OF
other small grain for few feet near the
edge of the lot in which they run. What
they eat in the fall rarely does much
damage, but if their depredations are
renewed in the spring the strip SO eaten
will be Of little value at harvest timc.-

-Grandmother's minute pudding,
which all the family liked and l alone
hated, was made in this way: Let some
sweet milk come to a boil, then stir in
-four which you have sailed; this must
be done very briskly or it will be lumpy.
Stir every moment until the pudding is
about like mush. Serve while hot, with
sugar and cream; flavor the cream with
nutmeg or vanilla. IN Y. Post.

The Country Gentleman advises
householders who are puzzled to know
how to get rid of all sorts of rubbish
such as broken glass, rusted stove-pipe,
brick-bats, broken crockery, etc, to

made to serve useful purpose as part

A cows LIte.


The average actual life OF COW is
eight years. The possible productive
life of COW Is twenty years. The
writer's best COW is, the thirteenth calf
of her dam. An Ayrshire cow once
rave in the writer's presence thirty-
seven quarts Of milk in one day with
her thirteenth calf, and at the time she
was too old for her age TO be indicated
by her horns. A Jersey cow dropped
her best calf, now cow, when she was
nineteen years old, and the Centennial
prize Jersey COW Niohe was very old
COW then. Now, what loss there is in
wearing out COWS at eight years old. A
COW properly cared for is then at her
prime, and may compare with man of
forty years in that respect. At such an
age man has twenty years of vigorous,
useful life at least before him, and by
outstanding his powers, ten years more
may be added. A COW may Just as well
add six years more to her eight, and will
beyond doubt if sho is we'll used, and
still yield better profit to her owner
than a four-year-old cow. Thus the
productive life of COW may be actually
doubled by good care and usage. But
how is this heightened period Of useful
ness to be gainedp In the first place,
longevity Is q hereditary characteristic,
and careful selection and breeding are
required to secure it. Then constitu-
tional vigor favors it. This is secured
through breeding and early training.
The sound, healthy calf must be we'll
cared for, well fed, and when she be-
comes a COW the training aud care must
be continued and the COWS vital forces
well nourished and husbanded. Ex-
posures and irregular feeding. not to
mention actual semi-starvation during
the winter seasons, which is far too
common, tend greatly to shorten the
useful and productive lie of COW. It
pays better to preserve a good cow than
to rear second one; and if one lives
sixteen years and has thirteen product
i've years, she will have been worth
more to her owner at the end than three
cows at eight years old have been. For
there viii be ten fully productive years
in the old cows life, against ten par
tally productive years IN that of the
young one's.-M Y. Times.

Plain Dresses.


Ladies Of simple tastes have these
tastes gratified by the plain costumes
which it is the excellent fashion this
season to choose for the street. The
tailor dresses of cloth brought this
simplicity into favor, and have also
made it the correct thing to have street
suits Of wool in preference to those of
silks and satins formerly worn. While
cloth is the favorite fabric for wool
dresses, there are ladies who object to
its great weight, and for these there are
the lighter camel's-hair Biarritz and
ottoman reps, cashmere, the rough
twilled bison cloth and the figured wool
tapestries. The entire dress is made of
these woolens, though in imported skirts
there is usually Accumulation skirt, which
is wholly concealed by the wool skirt
laid upon it. For simple designs of
these there are skirts made Of two
straight breadths of the widest double-
width wool goods broadly bordered with
velvet or with plain velveteen set on at
the foot-not above it, as was formerly
done. This is handsome In dull Titan
red camel's-halr in two straight breadths
over silk foundation skirt. Above this
is pohnais of the wool goods closely
fitted and very much draped by curving
away from the waist in front, and being
caught up on the tournure by two bows
or rosettes of velvet The front Of the
polonaise is tucked in small tucks that
begin at the neck and disappear in the
curves below the waist. A standing
velvet collar, velvet cuffs, and two vel
vet straps at the waist line complete the
trimming. The buttons are small, and
are of metal, with the disk shaped like
a cup. with red or iridesccnt coloring,
and In this CUP is a bunch OF metal
grapes or of leaves. If a coat is added
e. this for the street. it is rather short,
with a cross seam along the hips, and
some box pleats behind. Gray CASH
mere suits are similarly made, with the
drapery Of the back very full, vet not
broad. being confined to long narrow
space. while tits very short or the hips,
and scarcely more than a basque in
front There NAV be soft gathered
vest Of satin. or else one Of the new
small-figured velvet brocades is used,
with tinv leaf or block or ring Of satin
sunk in the velvet.
The tapestry woods are liked by young
ladies who want a good deal of color,
vet in subdued tones that will not be
conspicuous; these are pretty in dark
blue. brown. dull red, or green grounds,
with flower designs woven 10 represent
the cross stitches of old tapestries; this
figured stuff is used merely for the skirt,
while the oyerdress is plain cloth, cam
els-hair or Sicilienne Of the color Of the
ground. Dark blue and Titan red suits
81 twilled stuffs have a position basque
aud plated skirt, with braided panels,
and with most Of the drapery in the
back; but-if the wearer is quite tall, OF
has very small hips, there Is also some
wrinkled drapery across the front; Ii
she is quite stout, there may be four
plaits. two coming from each side, down
the middle of the front, while there are
wide side breadths that are covered with
