Care of Milk Cows in Winter.

From the care that many farmers
bestow upon their milk COWS during
winter they are an expense rather than
a profit. In the summer, when herb
age is fresh and abundant, COWS can
supply themselves with material for
milk production, but in the winter
they have to depend on the skill of
their owners for this material, which is
often lily provided.
have heard farmers say that they
had to keep three or four milk COWS to
get milk and butter enough to do their
family, when to follow them to feed
these COWS you would find them shell
tered by the fence or the side of their
barn, shaking with cold, icicles hang.
ing all over their bodies, and if shell
tered she had been forced to lay in her
own filth all night. Her feed consisted
of few rotten nubbins of corn and an
armful of shucks or a little fodder.
This they claimed was all they could
afford to give, and even at this, it
looked as if they would run out before
spring.
To winter COW at a profit the first
requirement is-a warm, dry stable, in
which there is abundant ventilation,
and where perfect cleanliness can be
observed; for comfort is as necessary
to profitable milking as feed or water.
1t is interesting to trace the i'll effects
of bad keeping upon the milk pail, and
how neglect leads to diminished profits.
The skin is very important secretory

Katie counted them, saying as she
did SO, "Twelve cents sir"
"There's half a dollar--never mind
about the change" and he was gone
before Katie had time to think.
"What a kind gentleman to give
me so much!" she said to herself. For
fifty cents seemed good deal to the
little girl, who seldom earned more
than that in two days. She hoped to
see and thank him the next day.
When Katie was six years old, her
father had died, leaving his family
only the small cottage where they
lived. Mrs. Rodgers, who had always
been feeble, was now obliged to work
very hard to support herself and child.
She was soon overcome with care and
labor, and severe illness ensued. On
her recovery, she found a debt of four
hundred dollars had been incurred.
There was but one way to obtain the
money, so their little home was mort
gagged.
Mr.. Rodgers had been an only child
of poor but respectable parents. His
wife had one brother who had gone to
India a long time ago and had not
been heard from for years. So Mrs.
Rogers toiled on alone, although she
was not able to do as much as before
her illness. At the end of two years
she had been able to pay only the in>

Learn to darn stockings neatly, and
then always see that your own are in

Every girl should learn to make the
simple articles of clothing. We know
a little miss of seven who could do all
this, and who also made the whole of
a new calico dress for herself, and
pieced large bedquilt. She was not
an over taxed child, either, but a
merry, romping, INDUCED, only daugh-
ter. But she was "smart," and did
not die young, either. Indeed, we
have seldom known children "too
smart to live" Very few die of that
complaint, whatever their grandmoth>
ers may think. So never be afraid of

terest on her debt beside supporting
herself and little daughter, when she
was again taken i'll. Katie so often
begged permission to sell lilies that
Mrs Rodgers finally consented, and
thus it was that we found the little
girl on one of Boston's crowded streets
that sultry afternoon.
The next day Katie watched for
the kind.hearted gentleman, and sure
enough he came. When she thanked
him for the money, he said that she
had earned it. Almost every day he
passed there, and he never failed to
stop for at least one lily; and SO to
Katy each weary day seemed shorter
because of his friendly face.
One day the gentleman said, 81

very much like YOU"
"Did you? Did she die?" asked
Katie, her face aglow with interest.
II don't know whether she is living
or not, I've been away ever since she
was little girl, and now I've returned,
but can find no trace of her."
"Why, how dreadful! What was
her name ?"
"Nellie Howe"
"Nellie Howell" repeated Katie,
with an exclamation point expressed
in every feature. "That used to be
my mammals name before she was
married"
1t was now the gentleman's turn to
be astonished. "Can it be possible ?
At last, after so many daysl" he said
to himself, unconsciously speaking
aloud. Then turning to Katie, he adj
ded. "Where do you liye, little girl?
| must go home with you."
Mrs. Rogers did not at first recog-
nize in the tall bearded stranger her
long lost brother, but when fully as
sured it was he, she was overcome
with joy.
Everyone was happy that night in
the cottage. Katie sat on her uncle's
knee while her mother told of their
past life, and he in turn related how
immensely wealthy he had become in
India, how long he had been seeking
for them, etc.

picioned of being the thief, yet no certain
proof has been found.
Several parties living in and near the
town, have been INDUCING lately in some
glorious old DRINKS. Brick Pomeroy
says: "Milk is good for babes and equal
ly good for men, but in a political conven-
ton, a gallon of whiskey will pan out
more results than would all the milk in
the United States" While several of
our 'slaw-makers'' have been on a big
drunk, only one poor fellow that was easy
to handle, and rather harmless, was
thought worthy of being put in the Gala
boose, while those more noisy were
allowed their freedom. There is policy
sometimes in allowing a noisy man free
dom. First, one might get hurt in fool
ing with a noisy man, and second, his
money and influence might be worth more
to let him alone.
| While those little sideshows of
drunkenness have been going on,
Rev. Bib has been conducting a pro-
tracted meeting, at the Baptist Church.
The meeting has continued over two
weeks, and up to yesterday there had
been about twenty-five additions to the
church. The church is crowded every
night, and apparently, a deep interest
prevails throughout the congregation.
The day meetings are held at 1890, and
prayer meetings at 3 O'Clock. The latter
meetings are conducted by the ladies, and
are held at their several residences. Rev.
Bibb is an interesting speaker. He
preached the funeral sermon of Mr.. Bos-
man Boggess, last Sunday. Mr.. Borgess.
died on Saturday morning, last, and was
taken on Sunday to Pike county for burial.
