The Hated Name of Gessler.

One by one all the romantic episodes
of yore are being ruthlessly obliterated
by the modern nationalist school of his
torians, and their latest decision is that
no such hero as William Tell and no
such tyrant as Gessler ever existed.
They claim, although their deeds are
recorded in song and legend, that Tell
and Gessler are but mythical person
ages; but recent adventure shows that
it would be unwise to vent these skept-
ical ideas among the Jealous believers
of the Four Forest Cantons. 1t appears
that Baron Won Gessler Russian noble
man of German extraction, but who
never dreamed that the detested Land
vogt of Schiller's play had q place on
his family tree, hired boat, together
with some friends, to cross from Brun-
men to the Ruth. During the passage
one of the party CHANGED to address the
young nobleman by his name The
boatman started with horror. He drop
ped his oar for moment, and then
said to the astonished company, II
would not have Gessler in my boat for
a hundred francs.n In spite of all en-
treaties and attempted explanations he
turned the head of his boat. rowed to
the land and insisted that the supposed
descendant of Gessler should disem-
bark.-Cor. Boston Record

Various Acid Weeds Responsible for the

Various Acid Weeds Responsible for the
Trouble.
The causes of soldering of horses
that are grazed on the aftermath is the
presence of acid weeds in the herbage
Lobelia, st. Johns wort and rag-weed
often form the larger part of the herb
age, and this can scarcely be avoided
so long as the second crop of clover is
cut for seed from fields infested with
these weeds. Lobelia may soon be dis
covered by its pale blue, small, tubular
or funnel-shaped flowers and its oval
seed pods. 1t grows about nine to
twelve inches high, and is easily missed
in a meadow unless one stoops low to
seek for it. when it will be too often
found abundantly. If one tastes it he
will readily understand why it will pro-
duce the effect complained of. 1t has
a strong, acrid flavor ike that of to-
bacco, and may quite often be found in
second crop hay. ST. Johns wort is
recognized by its five-petsled yellow
flowers, but most easily by its three
celled pods, which have three divergent.
long slender styles attached to the top
of the pod. These are quite apparent
in the flower, being the three styled
pistil with the three stamens. The
petals have quite number of purple
dots upon them. Ragweed is too well
known to need descriptions; it has a
strong, bitter, aromatic taste. which is
not so bad as that Of the preceding
weeds but it will cause some horses to
slobber. Horses will refuse to touch
these plants if they can AVOID it, but
when they are abundant they can not
help eating some of them To stop the
'lobber ng give handful or two of dry
corn meal or wheat middlings. The
loss of saliva is serious matter, and
greatly weakens the animal. Coiman's

The DAIRY.

Don't milk Q Troublesome COW, but
turn calf or tive to her and let them
do the milking. An average COW will
raise four calves to veal age during a
season. and these will bring forty to
fifty dollars. This is often more than
can be made from her milk.-F0rest,
Forge and Farm.
The habit of kicking. which is
utterly destructive Of the value Of a COW,
may in every instance be traced to errors
or vices in early education of the ami

There are some things that are i'm
possible, and one of these is to make
bad butter good, by any process what
ever, says a contemporary. Those
farmers who are packing butter. must
therefore be exceedingly careful to avoid
every fault that would injure its quality.
They should be aware that every fault

A NOVEL ICE-HOUSE.


The Form of House Best Adapted 70 the
Preservation of Ice.
The best form for an ice-house would
be that of a globe, because then we
should have the greatest bulk with the
least surface. Such shaped house,
however, would be inconvenient and
expensive to construct. The next best
form is a cylinder. Practically. how
ever, an inverted truncated cone will
give all the advantages of the cylindri-
cal form. with the further advantage OF
being more economical in construct on
and in keeping in repair. The worst
possible form is cubical or square ice
house, for the corners of the ice in such
a house will always melt away and
leave the mass of ice round. The large
amount of water which penetrates the
ice in such an ice-house makes ii
porous. and it rarely happens that
square ice-house, unless very large and
deep, will keep ice throughout the sum
mer. In our climate ice-houses are
rarely built above ground. The best
way to construct one. for family use.

There is an undoubted saving oil
labor in threshing from the shock when
everything works as it should. But the
plan has its disadvantages, and one is,
that in a rainy season like the present
a force engaged in threshing is obliged
to wait several days, and occasionally
even week, for grain to dry out. be-
fore the threshing can be finished. In
such case, of course, the machine has
to be removed TO another farm and the

The Royal Agricultural Society of

acres of grass land. There are only
forty-one acres of pasture, and the dairy
consis SITS OF fifty-two cows. Nearly three
thousand dollars are spent each year in
purchasing food for cattle. No cotton
seed meal is used, as it is thought to
injure the butter The cows are bought
with first or second calf, and kept three
or four years, and then sold for beef.
They are mostly grade Shorthorns. No
calves are reared. At least two and ono
half tons of hay must be produced per
acre to pay expenses. In addit on to
homemade manures, about one hun
bred and fifty tons are annually pur-
chased. The moving ground is dressed
from October. The pastures are quick

pense and labor good profit u made
