Superstitious cd fool! Were Pauline
charms to be buried in a nunnerv!
Then bell rang and Teresa left me.
In few minutes she reappeared and
conducted me upstairs to a room in
which found my beautiful Pauline and
her uncle. She raised her dark dreamy
eyes and looked at me-the most infat-
uated man could not have battered him
self that the light OF love was in them.
L fully expected that DR.. Ceneri
would have left us to arrange matters
alone; but no-he took me by the hand
and in stately manner led me to his

She bowed. Eyes, know him.

softly, but without even changing color.
"You can not love me now, but you

ling?"
She did not respond 10 nv appeal.
but then she did not repulse me. neither
did she strive to withdraw her hand
from mine; she remained calm and I'M

In speaking of the recent bar
meeting held in Madison, the Demo
crat of that city pays the following
well merited compliment to our
townsman Hon. M. Nj. Strong:

FOR ASSOCIATE JUSTICE.

The members of the bar associa-
ton, at their recent annual meeting
held at Madison, spent some time
in considering who should be the
successor of David Taylor, associate
justice Of the supreme court, whose
term Of office expires January l,
1886, and recommended that Hon.
Levi Nj. Villas, of Eau Claire, be
chosen. 1t seems that the reason
assigned for asking Judge Taylor to
retire is because of his age. When it
is considered that four out of five Of
the present members of the supreme
court are considerably past the me-
ridian of life, it would seem that it is
time to commence electing men
who are in the prime Of life and
whose legal attainments and position
at the bar recommend them IS worthy
to occupy places upon the supreme
bench. Judge Coles term will ex-
piro in 1892. Judge Lyons in 1884,
Judge Orton's in 1888, Judge Casso-
dv's in 1890, Judge Taylor's in 1886.
The last named gentlemen. who IS
a candidate again, is now sixty eight
years of age; and his reelection
would in all probability result IN
having to elect a successor to ill his
unexpired term. There is some
thing more than this to be con-
sidered, however. If the present
members are retained during their
life-all being old mcn-it may
result in having in the near future
court composed Of new men with
out that experience and training on
the bench which is essential to keep
the court i'll its present standing.
The Democrat thinks . 1t it is I'M
portant that each should be retired
at the end of his tcrm-with the eX-
ccption of Judge Cassidy, who has
served only five years of this present
term and good, safe, able and
learned men in the prime of life Sc
Icctcd for their places. This would
give the newly elected judges the
experience of the old members, and
besides steadily improving the court
in point of working ability, the state
would have in 1894 a supreme court
composed of men whose age, ability

.FARN GARDEN AND HOME.

Tho Farmers Dream.
The farmer tips back in the old oaken chair,
His hand on his head and his feet on the floor;
And he dreams of the days when his prospects
And he worked all the day in grocery store.
How he measured out sugar for Mary and Rose,
And liberties never once took with the till;
When he wore patent-leathers that ruined his
toes,
He thinks Of the days when they roamed through
will;
When they dreamed of a neat little cot in the
shade
OF button-ball hanging just over the rill.
He looks at these pictures through spectacles
And Jemima he sees in vision of bliss,
Just the same as she looked in the days when he
leant
The wicket across for the tra-la-la kiss.
he thinks d''a Of the years that he's worked over
With a sh9y VEL. rake harrow plow, beanpole
He remembers the night to propose that he called,
And, oh! how he wishes she'd only said "No!
For then might his life be of idleness full,
He could Loaf through the daytime sunshiny
And not have to larrup an old brindle bull,
And jerk up the turnips from morning till night.
But what is the use ofhis "bah" and his "bish ~
And what is the use of his sadness and woe
And what is the use of the empty old wish

"No?' Puck

boys, I've struck g. bonanza in the

and it was seen that theteeth were ap-
parently coated with gold, some very
thickly, others carrying only film.
The balance of the jaw was speedily
fished out and both pieces are now on

Rules for DairYmen.

The best managed butter and cheese
factories have printed rules which are
distributed among patrons for their
guidance in making pure, sound milk,
and delivering it in perfect condition
at the factory. The following rules
are in force at Readfeld, Me-, cheese
factory. They should be posted in
every stable and dairy room in the
country
Only healthy COWS produce good
milk; they must never be heated, or in
any way misused or unduly excited.
Regularity in the time of milking,
and by the same person, secures the
best results. Insist on clearly habits
in mixers. Filthiness is disastrous to
both producer and consumer.
Do not feed your COWS upon whey,
turnips or cabbage; they are always
injurious to milk.
Only tin pals are suitable to be used
by dairymen. All milk should be
carefully strained; doing so from the
pail, through a wire strainer, is not
sufficient; it should be strained through
cloth also, otherwise the whole will be
injured.
There cannot be too great care as to
cleanliness in handling milk. All pals
and cans should be kept absolutely
clean. This is the best secured as fol.
lows: The pals and cans, when taken
new from the shop, must be carefully
washed with soap and water. In every
instance the pals should receive q
thorough scalding with boiling water,
and once week they should be secured
with salt.
Covers should be left off cans until
ready to start for the factory, The
milk should be stirred in the cans With
a dipper to expose it to the air, and re.
move all animal heat. Cans of milk
should beset upon thegound, or in cold
water and should always be protected
from the rain. All milk should be de-
ivered at the factory before 8 O'Clock
A. II.
Mixing of milk OF different temperar
lures should beeardully avoided. This

Hemp Growing.

Growing hemp requires a soil suffi-
GENTLY fertile for a crop of grain. A
grass or clover sod turned over and
we'll rotted is excellent. The seed is
usually sown broadcast, narrowed in
lightly, and the surface afterward
rolled. Some prefer to SOW in drills, as
the crop is more easily cut. Four or
six pecks of seed are required to the
acre; it should be of the growth of the
previous year, heavy and bright IN
color. The earlier the sowing can be
done, and the plant escape severe
frosts, the better. The crop, while
growing, needs no cultivation, and is
mature in three or three and q half
months from sowing. Cutting is done
with cradles made for the purpose,
and heavier than those for grain; but
if the stalks are over seven feet hi gh
heavy knife or hook, somewhat like
those used for cuttin g corn, is pre-
ferred. The stalks are laid on the
ground with the butts even, and in
favorable weather will be sufficiently
cured in three days to be made into
bundles OF convenient size, and placed
in the stacks ready for dew~rotting or
water-rotting,

Skim Milk for Butter.

1t is considered good return for a
common COW, giving 1000 pounds of
milk in a. year, says Prof. Arnold, to
increase her butter yield forty pounds
by having her own milk fed back to
her; in other words, 100 pounds of
skim milk might be expected to add
one pound to her yield of butter.
With equal skill in feeding milk to COWS
or to pigs, one might reasonably an
ticipate six times as many pounds of
pig pork from 100 pounds of milk as
he would get of butter by feeding the
same to his COWS. Which would be
the more profitable would depend on
what the pork and butter would
bring.

A Secret Of Success.

Why is it that women suffer so
much from nervous irritation? Many
women, before they have lost the
bloom of girlhood, display decided
wrinkles between the eyes, and have g.
harrassed, worried look that is dis
tressing to the observer. Women of
the average condition in life are the
greatest sufferers from nervous irrita-
ton, and it is largely due to them
Selves
In beginning their married life they
make plans for perfect housekeeping,
according to their individual stand
ards. AS soon as they begin their new
life OF responsibility they begin in a
greater or less degree to worry be-
they are not succeeding as they had
determined.
The servant will not prove amena-
bic to all the rules and regulations of
the young housekeeper; failures will
occur in the experimental trials OF the
newest rules in cookery; the house.
hold machinery will not run smoothly;
and the worry begins, because there
has been no margin left in the house
wife's plans for Interruptions and dis
appointments. Women do not take
up the business OF housekeeping as
their husbands do the business of
bread-winning-expecting q certain
amount OF disappointment, defeat and
successful rivalry, and adapting them
selves to them when they come, and
accepting them as q part of their bust
ness life.
Then, too, the indulgent husbands
Dire somewhat to blame for this state
OF affairs. When they are met by the
worried face, and forced to listen to
the tale OF woe, they are very apt to
agree with the narrator, that never
woman suffered like this woman, and
frequently help to develop martyr
who suffers from an imaginary cause.
Many women refuse to adapt them
selves to the conditions surrounding
them. Carry your housekeeping cares,
and refuse to be pushed and showed
by them; when making plans, leave a
margin for the inevitablei Interruptions
and mishaps, and when these come
you will find yourself meeting them
calmly and making plans to mitigate
the results. The result of successful
living, in any sphere, is the power to
adapt ones self to the circumstances
and conditions that surround and
