This experience, taken from an X
change, may be of interest to some OF
our readers
During the past year he has MIXED
sixteen cows, five of which were with
their first calves. They are all from
f~ve-eights to fifteen-sixteenths Jersey
cattle. In figuring up his last years
business he discovers that from the six
teenth lows he has made 1866 pounds
Of butter, an average of nearly one
pound per day for every COW fed, for
which he gets from 32 to 40 cents per
pound the year round. His contract
with the largest buyers is 80 cents, but
others come along NOW and again and
have to pay the retail price gotten by
large buyers, viz: 40 cents; hence,
after paying for packages and express
charges, the butter for the year has
Melted him 34 cents per pound.
"a little figuring will show that he
has made his COWS, In milk, produce
him a fraction over $120 per annum
a pretty good value for three or four
good mich cows. Being asked how he
fed them he replied / feed my COWS
on grass all through the summer, but
when they come to be MIXED, always
give them good feed of dry bran, con
sisting of about one gallon. In winter,
however, when grass is short and some
times not comeatable, he keeps his COWS
pretty close to the stable, allowing them
exercise in going to and coming from
wafer, and feeding them on chopped
sheaf oats moistened with water and
mixed with bran and crushed corn and
cob meal. Two-thirds Of this mixture is
composed of chopped sheaf oats, the re-
mainder of bran and corr and cob meal. "

III q woman must earn her own living
there are many technical pursuits for
which she may be qualified. Lithogra-
ply, modelling in clay or wax, book
keeping, shorthand writing, wood carv-
ing, chasing in gold and silver, and
many other handicrafts, are now con
sidered womanly occupations, and any
one of them is apt to prove of more use
to the girl who has her own way to
make than a superficial knowledge of
the ologies, languages OF music. Ii a
girl is rich let her be educated to the
full extentof her ability but she should
also be trained in some profession or
paying employment, that she may be
independent of her money, and the
more self-respecting on that account.
If she chooses she can be as we'll
informed as to the world about her
as her brother, and WELD as
great a power. In art, in science, in
the field of letters, woman has the pos
sibility of greatness, The storehouses
of knowledge open as readily to her as
to those of the other sex. She should
accurately value the nobility Of labor
and the dignity of independence. Ma
trimony is not the only harbor in which
she may safely anchor, and catching a
husband is not the chief end of life.
If an adequate physical training be add
ed to mental culture, so that a woman
has limbs she can get about with and a
stomach that will digest her dinner,
she will join to the vigor of precedent
generations a mental bredth to which
they never attained. This is the COM
ing woman dreamed of by the poet, not
those other
Laughing stocks Of time,
Whose brains are in their hands and in their
heels,
But fit to fiaunt, to dress, to dance, to thrum,
To tramp, to scream, to FURNISH and to scour,
Forever slaves at home and fools abroad.

We suggest that You take the best
spot you can get for a flower bed, rich
and clean, and put in the roots and
seeds Of native plants. Many persons
will be surprised to see how many Of our
neglected plants, which we call weeds,
will thrive with room and cultivation.
The common dandelion, the buttercup,
the pink lowered yarrow and many 9th

want IS room enough in a rich mellow

propose to give you more than your
moneys worth al have something new
and marvellous all are frauds.
Never buy on the recommendation of a
stranger alone; and If that stranger
promises to give you much for little, set
him down az a fraud. Perhaps the
meanest and most audacious of all
these pleasing thieves, is the one who
asks you to sign a paper. 1t may APP
pear to be only an order the most safe
harmless; it may appear to be only a
contract for a small amount OF goods;
be sure it is some scheme TO de-
fraud. Don't sign it, The advice we
give is sweeping Don't sign any paper
for a strangeri It is the only safe rule.
OF course, the fraud is hid; Of course,
the project is put in a charming light;
if there were any show of dishonesty,
You would not be swindled. 1t will be
something new, for the sharper well
knows that if you heard of it you will
not be duped. 1t will appear all right;
but don't sign the paper.
These men are abepts in swindling.
They have brains and shrewdness, and
put them to disreputable use. Their
stories are plausible, because they have
cudgelled their brains to make them so.
They will cover aattery with a show Of
sincerity. They will even use the cloak
of religion to clothe their vile schemes.
Yes, they'll convince you in spite of
yourself. You will be sure it is all
right. Stopl Before you sign the
paper, remember never sign a paper
for a stranger. Don't do it!
Setting Hens.
To the amateur we should say, you
will save much time, much vexation,
and save the lives of many chickens,
by having your setting hens arranged
on some systematic plan before you
give them the eggs forhatching. There
are many ways to bring this about. You
must have separate room, box or coop
for each setter, to which none of the
others can have access. Laying hens
must also be kept away Your settlers,
too, must have a chance to procure
food and water when they choose to
come off for this purpose. Laying hens
are not as apt to get into a row
with a setter as another setter is. Some
times two settlers will quarrel and fight
till the eggs are broken.
Successful poultry fanciers set hens
in the evening after dark instead of by
daylight. They are much more apt to
stick" The lantern is a very useful
thing in the poultry keepers hands.
There is much hat can be done about
the fowl house, and much that can be
learned by lantern light. You can FREE
quently cath fowls to examine them for
any desired purpose when they are on
the roost, even ifthey are not very tame
whereas in the day time it may be hard
to catch them singly and to examine in
to their condition without causing them
a great deal of fright, and fight, you
know, is antagonistic to thrift.

Agricultural items.

The first sale of imported Jersey cat
tie, imported in 1883 by Herr Harris
and McFerran, took place at Louisville
Tuesday. Fifty-six head we're disposed
of, bringing $l9,390, averaging 1914
apiece.
The editors of those agricultural jour
nails who took stock in the recent false
reports of foot-and-mouth disease in
Kansas must feel ready to groan with
yexation and shame when they see how
they have encouraged the English pa
pers TO redouble their efforts to keep
our cattle out of their market. Thus
far their foolishness has greatly injured
the very interests they were expected to
protect.
The New England Homestead says
that present appearances indicate that
the acreage of potatoes to be planted
this season Will be much less than last.
This is, of course, owing to the low
price winch mas prevailed ali over the
country the past season.
William Hartly, Of La Crosse, Wis,
writes to the Breeders Gazette hat he

Mr.. I. G. Jones, another correspondent,
and according to their experience. the

An Elegant entertainment.

Mr.. and Mrs. c. A. Leighton entertained
number of their friends last evening al their
residence on State street. in that highly
agreeable manner which has made their
home one of the popular social centers Ofthe
city. The company was composed very
largely Of married people though number
OF young folks were SO fortunate as to re-
receive Invitations. The parlor was devoted
to cards, while the adjoining rooms were
given mp 10 dancing. The music, furnished
by Clint Waite and Charlie Page. was excel
lent, and Jack Gilchrist, who. by reason of
the illness OF B. F. Romaine, kindly consent
cd to act As prompter. fairly excelled himself
on this occasion.
The ALEXANDRIA club were present and the
music which they furnished, both vocal and
instrumental numbers, fairly enraptured
the company. Johnnie Henning sang a
number of solos in his best style, and was
encored again and again. The perfornlan-
ces Of the club proved delightful surprise to
their hearers, and too much praise cannot be
bestowed upon the members ofthis organiza-
ton for the splendid use which they have
made Of their opportunities.

Formal D.ale..loa q the sallalns viii

Formal Dedication of the Building with
Appropriate Services.
Tho formal dedication of st. Mary's h os-
pitAl. erected by the Franciscan sisters on Elk
change street. took place yesterday, and the
event was one of especial interest to those
who have lAbored SO faithfully for the estab-
lishment of this benehcent institution in our
midst. There were present to assist in the
ceremonial Rev. Father Swembergh, of
Newton Father Thos. Mccall. o: Usage City;
Father Nicholas Fowler, OF Florence, and
Fathers Guido and Angeius. of this city.
The exercises began promptly at half-past
o with the conservation of the build
ing. which consisted of sprinknng
each Of its apartments with holy water, by
Rev. Father Meier. This was succeeded by
mass and benediction, which was celebrated
by Father Meier in an impressive manner in
the chapel of the hospital which has been
fitted mp with g beautiful alter and neat.
comfortable seats.
These services were followed by an admira-
bio dedIeatory discourse in English, by Rev.
Father Swembergh, Of Newton. This
gentleman Is one of the most
scholarly and able diyines in the state. and
his sermon on this occasion Justified the rep
utatton which he enjoys as a pulpit orator.
The speaker said IL was indeed a great satis-
faction to him to assist at the dedication of
this beautiful monument of charity. This
hospital was but one of the many public
benefactions of the church to tho world.
Charity was the essence of the Catholic
church. Whatever might be said against
her by her enemies. she had stood for ages
Is the living testimony OF the charity of her
founder. He dwelt at some length upon this
thought and ended by paraphrase of the
parable Lof the good Samaritan. His last
words were an eloquent tribute to the zeal
and energy of the Rev. Father Superior who
had so nobly advanced the cause of religion
and humanity in the west by his numerous
works
The hospital has already been described
in detail in this paper, and We can only add
in this connection that 1t is one OF the most
convenient and best appointed institutions
Of the kind in the west. 1t is beautiful
monument to the benevolent sisters
Who have sacrificed so much for
the success of an enterprise which
deserves the hearty encouragement and
support Of every humane man and woman in
Emporia.

where the recuperativc forces of our
country are located, and why we recov-

way, centrally understood by many
Americans that farming is rather i'm

Mr.. Bookwalier shows that it is the most
important agent in the restoration of
prosperity alter d RODS Of depression
The INCREASE of the income of American
farmers, from 1870 to 1880, was nearly
$4,000. 100000. following the com
menc,ment of the terrible business de-
pression in our country in 1878, we had
series of bountiful harvests. The ex-
ports of wheat between 1870 AID 1880
were more than double the entire
amount exported during the preceding
forty years. The exports from 1875 70
1880 were 90 pr INT. ereatcr than
the experts between 1880 and 1870.
During this period of pl,n'y aad rapid
opening of vast areas of land in the west
TO wheat culture, the harvests of Eng
land and France were unusually poor,
and the demand for American bread
SUITS increased. In addition 10 this

the rate of more than $500. O00OO0 an
