1ne Man Who Tried to Make Buggy
Horse Of nm Ex-Cavairy Charger.
tPeck's SUM-
When ut the close Of the war we were sta
toned at San Antonio, having little to do
we determined TO enjoy buggy ride. We
had great big, good-natured horse that had
followed US from FAR Alabama, a dapple gray
with flowing name and tail, and It did seem
Is though he would handle a buggy like
JOY forever. The horse had never been
hitched to buggy before. but he behaved
himself the best he knew how. He Iooked
sround at the buggy and the man In 1t. as
much as to say, BOSS this may be all right,
but 1t is mean trick to play on a cavalry
morse. However, IL you can tell me what
you want me to do, will do 1t, or bust a
trace"
He didn't understand the pull of the reins.
and we had TO get out to turn him around.
He rubbed his nose ON our shoulder. and
looked out OF his eyes as though he would
ask II he had done rightso far, and seemsi to
say, Il have been prepared for anything
since left the Confederate service, from a
thousand-mile raid On short rations to a race
with quartermaster's mule, but had never
expected to come TO this" and a tear seemed
to linger on his eyelid as he put his nos, in
his masters bosom. On returning To the
town, a company Of cavalry were drilling ON
the plaza, and Just then an idiot with bugle
began to blow a call and the cayalrymen
started across the plaza in company front
That settled the buggy @Gen. Grisr-
son" started of on run, buggy and all, and
wheeled in the front, righe Of the third pla-
toon, three PAGES In front, right where he
knew there ought to be a second lieutenant,
and turned his eye to the right to dress on
the other platoon commanders. The rear of
the buggy was breaking up the ranks of the
platoon and we were never so embarrassed In
the world
The captain yelled to us to get out Of the
way, an orderly rode up and took the old
gray by the bit, and then IL occurred to the
horse that the buggy was in the way, and
he began to kick 1t to pieces. The cross-bar
and dashboard were kicked over into the
platoon, and he was just pulverizinx the
running gear and box when a dozen men
grabbed him, and We crawled out from
under the wreck, and when we got out the
horse had turned around facing us, with the
shafts still hitched to him, and he was try
ing. in his horse-sense way to tell us what
he thought Of a cavalryman that would ap-
pear on duty in such a way. and bring rs-
proach on good, honest, well-brought. up
horse. The company stopped drilling to laugh,
broke ranks, and went into the Menger
house at our expense. the iveryman took
his buggy back on a dray, and the writer
paid for the buggy, put on the saddle
again and rode away, and the old horse,
when he got out into the road, turned his
head and nibbled the riders bootleg and
.inked as much as to. say: There, boss,
this is something like IT, This is the way
we used to do in the confederacy. Buggy
riding makes mo sick"

SEEDS FOR NEXT SEASON

Good seed that you have grown
yourself, and has a pedigree, the
longer the better, or has been bought
of a commercial scotsman, with the
good sense to test his seeds before
he sells them, is essential to maxi
mum crops. If your soil is all right
and the fertilizers abundant, you do
not get the full reward for labor,
without the best seed. The vitality
of seed, its power to reproduce its
own kind, or something little bet
ter, depends upon the circumstances
under which it is grown. Heredity
has as much to do with seeds as with
animals. If the farmer understands
this, and will watch over the growth
and purity of the seeds for his crops,
we'll and good. But very many of
our farmers cannot, or will not do
this. Charlock is among their oats,
thistles among their wheat, daisies
and white weed among their grass
seed. Their corn is choked with
weeds, and runs to nubbins, or is
imperfectly ripened, and their vege-
table garden seeds are so mixed that
the varieties fail to come true to
name, or are nameless. They have
no pride in garden products, and do
not exhibit at the fairs. Now is the
time to remedy these slovenly habits,
and to turn over a new leaf with the
new year. Every man who raises
crops should have the seeds in read
mess months before he wishes to SOW
them. There are commercial seeds,
men who have large farms, and ev.
cry facility for growing seeds of al
kinds, for keeping them pure, anC
for testing their vitality before they
are put upon the market, -Ameri

FARM CELLARS.

Generally speaking, a farmers
cellar is anything but place of neat
ness and order. The house mag be
a good one, and all the rooms in it
may be well arranged, furnished and
kept, but the cellar which is below
the ground, not often frequented by
any except the occupants of the house,
is generally place of confusion,
showing want OF taste and Judgment.
Why should we not have cellars
as appropriate to the use for which
they are intended as our parlors
If you have good wall and a good
bottom, few dollars and few days
work will do all that needs to be done.
All cellars should be ventilated.
There is a great dea, Of foul gas that
accumulates from the decay os veg
/ etable matter in them, that too often
is allowed to pass into the rooms above
to the injury c. the health of theil
occupants. The best wy to secure
ventilation is to have commGa;ca
ton between the cellar and the chin
ney, by means Of a pipe or othe
opening.
Cellars should have a good bottogn
Frequently they are rendered wet b
the water that percolates through tn
soil from the caves. When this
the case, troughs shonld be place
5 on the building, and means taken /
: conduct the water so far away tbs

COWS AND BUTTER.


Cows should have daily exercise
and never-failing supply of pure
water at the barn if possible. They
should have small quantity of salt
daily. When they are kept in the
barn they should have all the feed
they will eat up clean twice a day,
and should be fed from six to eight
O'Clock in the morning and from three
to five in the afternoon. They should
have all the water they will drink i'm
mediately after each foddering, but
they never should be allowed to
drink ice water. Good, early cut,
upland hay should form the basis of
their food, supplemented with ensi-
lage, corn fodder or any other good,
sweet fodder. They should have
grain twice day while giving milk.
One quart of cornmeal, one quart of
cotton-seed meal and two quarts Of
shorts make an excellent ration. If
one objects to ensilage, good sup
ply of roots should be furnished,
and of these carrots and parsnips are
best. Cows should be thoroughly
cleaned every day with card and
stiff brush; the brush should be
used most. Milk just before feeding
in the morning and just after water
ing in the evening, dividing the time
as nearly as possible. "Regularlty''
should be written in a conspicuous
place and strictly adhered to, as
COWS are very sensitive about being
fed, watered and MIXED at regular
intervals. No one who is not gentle
and kind should ever be allowed to
handle the COWS. They should have
a steady mixer. Their udders should
be throughly wiped with cloth be-
fore being MIXED. Do not brush
them Immediately before milking, as
the operation would fill the air with
dust, which in settling would get
into the milk. Never use a wooden
pail for milk; tin is much better.
AS soon as possible after it has been
drawn strain the milk through a fine
wire and a cloth strainer, and cool it
at once. Never allow the COWS to
be run or hurried. Each cows milk
should be thoroughly tested, to ascer-
tain her value as butter COW. One
will be apt to find that some of his
best-looking COWS that gives a good
flow of milk, are nearly worthless as
butter producers. If COW will not
make at least $50 pounds per year
with the above treatment she should
be discarded at once. Cows should
go dry from four to eight weeks, as
they need q rest, and their milk
should not be used when nearing the
time of parturition. Most butter
should be made in the winter, as the
demand is then greater and the price
higher. By using thoroughbred
male, of whatever breed one prefers,
and raising the heifer calves from
the best COWS the herd can be i'm
: proved to a great extent and the
butter production be largely increas-

A JAPANESE GIRLS TOILET.

When japanese girl gets up in the
morning, she washes her face, but
does not have to dress her hair. That
is attended to but once q week. The
hair-dresser comes TO the house and
ranges her iet-black locks in the
fashion for little girls of her age.
So she has no trouble about her hair,
and after her bath the servant assists
her to powder her neck with q small
white brush. She puts little red
paint on her lower lip, and little
gliding in the middle. When she re-
moves her sleeping dress, she has on
only a short skirt, which is simply a
square piece of cloth, Grape or silk,
tied around the waist. No other UNI
der-clothing is worn.
In making her toilet for the day,
she first puts on a garment made
usually of some coarse material, not
very long, and reaching only to the
waist, but with long sleeves. On the
neck of this garment is sewed deep
fold of scarlet or some bright-colored
Grape or silk. A long, straight skirt
of blue or red Grape, silk, or wool is
tied around the waist and over all
three of these is the kimono, OF dress.
This is of some dark color, and made
of coarse spun silk or thick Grape.
For festivals and holidays the'dresses
are of very fine material and very
are of very fine material and very
handsome. The outer dress is SIM
ply a wrapper reaching to the feet,
with very long and wide sleeves
hanging nearly to the ground, and
used as pockets. On each shoulder
a deep tuck is made which extends
to the waist, thus making little full
ness for the skirt. But the dress
has no gathers, and is straight all the
way down. The neck is adorned
with a wide piece of black velvet Oh
satin, which reaches nearly to the
waist, and the dress is crossed ovel
the bosom and confined by girdle
Over this is worn a very wide sash
q piece of brocaded silk or satin, stiff
with embroidery in gold or silver
lined with soft silk, and fastened be
hind in a very large bow. Whel
these are all on, but barefooted, o
