HinIOO Virgin WidnIYs.

AS the custom of early marriage, or
rather infant marriage, is widely prev
alent in India, there is seen vast
number of virgin widows here. You
might frequently see girls of two or
three years married to boys of seven
or eight, and many of them becoming
widows soon after their marriage. SO
the number of virgin widows under Is
is very large. In the last census taken
in 1881 the number of such widows in
India was estimated to be about
two thirds of the whole number of
widows. 1t is the presence of this
large number of infant and girl wild
,ws that makes the custom of perpet-
ual widowhood the more appalling
The life widow lives is very mis-
cradle She is not allowed to wear Or
naments or put on fine clothing. She
must not take fish or flesh. She has to
cook her own food, which generally
consists, in middle class families, of
small quantity of boiled rice and vege-
tables and milk. Twice every month
she has to fast the whole day, taking
no food or drink. A widow IN most
cases depends for her subsistence on
her brother or some other such near
relative, at whose house she resides
and where she has to perform all the
work of housewife In many Hin
doc home the W dow is both the cook
and maid servant In certain homes
she is subjected to hard treatment, but
in many others, be it noted, her sad
lot is most sincerely sympathized with,
and care is taken not to hurt her feel
ings. Fitness Democrat.

and pressing it into piece of bread
pushed it towards his plate The ring,
however, was not hers, but belonged
to her governess, who had received it

Could Have Killed a General.

At the recent ex- Con iederate reun-
ion, at Fort Worth, the correspondent
of the Missouri Republican picked up
these stories:
General Pear(e tells me that one of
the Federal soldiers came up to him
and shook hands with him 50 warmly
that his attention was attracted to it,
and he asked him if there was not
something behind his cordially.

didn't. would have been very proud
of it then, though, sir"
You may be sure that Pearce was
cordial in returning the hand grasp.
He recalled the circumstances clearly.
When | was at the G. A. r. tents
heard story which impressed me as
very dramatic. A Union soldier
named McNamee was the recounter,
with an ex-C Confederate named Strong.
1t was at the battle of Pea Ridge, and
McNamee said:
II was with the battery, that was
browning slope; the rebels made a
dash at us and got the guns. We
came back at them and fought fist and
skull in the battery, pulling the can

"Well, here it is" and pulling off his
shirt, Strong showed the wound of the
very bayonet which the other had
thrown at him. 81 rode that gun

were sworn brothers from that time

In the ordinary rotation of the farm,
sod land is usually plowed for corn.
Opinions differ in regard to the advan-
tage, or otherwise, of the fall blowing
of sod. The truth of the matter is,
that like all other farm work, this de-
ponds very much upon circumstances.
One of these is, the manner in which
the blowing is done. If the dry, bare
sod is plowed under thoroughly, and
SO left until spring, when it is cross
plowcd, and the sod cut up into pieces,
and turned this way and that, and for
the greater part reversed, the work had
certainly been better left undone. This
way of treating sod, too common, we
are sorry to say, is most mischievous
one, and leaves the land in wretched
plight for corn planting. The better
way is. to spread what manure is
ready for the land, and leave it until
November, and then turn the whole
under with an even and regular lap
furroW. If this is well done it leaves
the soil in the very best condition for
spring work. The furrow slices lie
with the manure between them, while
the manure is not buried under the
sod, but both standing, in part, on
edge, allow the air to permeate through
the crevices, and cause thorough de-
composition. The crests of the ridges
break down by the action of frosts,
and the land is gradually consolidated
by settlement, through the winter.
When the harrow is passed over the
land in the spring, the fine manure,
and the soil, and the decayed sod, are
thoroughly mixed on the surface, leav-
ing a mass of plant food below, as
deep as the land has been plowed. The
roots OF the young corn plants find
food wherever they penetrate the soil.
and an abundance of it within reach
to carry them to the end of the grow
ing season. In the culture of every
crop, very much depends upon the
preparation of the soil, but this is
most especially true as regards corn,
which occupies the ground for only
about three months How necessary
then it is, to provide a store of food
for this crop, of the right kind, in the
right place, and in sufficient quantity
to supply its urgent necessities. One
of the most effective ways of making
this requisite provision, is to make the
most of the sod by treating it at this
season in the manner here described.

Drying of Gazing Cows.

II cows are not properly dried off,
milk in considerable amount Is al
owed to collect and remain in the
adder after ceasing to milk regularly
here is great danger from permanent
obstruction Of the milk flow in future.
In drying off cows it is well to skip
milking a few times before ceasing en-
tirely. If the quantity secreted is not
large nature may be able to take care
Of it by absorbing it again into the
system, but IL the flow is large the alb
sorbing vessels are unable to dispose
of the excess and the milk then be-
comes as a foreign substance to be dis
posed of in the next best way not to
endanger the life of the animal. The
milk may become cheesey and the
cheesey matter may fill the milk ducts
and permanently close them to the
flow of milk. 1t is good rule to milk
a drying up cow just often enough to
keep the milk ducts free from clotted
milk. AS calying time approaches
extra care should be taken at this sea-
son to see that the udder does not be-
come too much crowded with milk
