Good cows, like good people, die
young. The high feeding which such
COWS receive is probably in part respon-
sible for this. We can feed higher when
a COW has green feed, and the ability to
larger quantities of grain and meal may
prove one of the important advantages OF
ensilape.

CANNED CHERRIES.

| have been used to the old ways of
canning, ana am almost always success

is very easy TO stone cherries with a nice
stoning machines now to be had at almost
everywhere at small cost, and while
doing part, have others cooking. / use
a half pound of sugar to each pound of
fruit and make a syrup of pint or less
of water - each pound of sugar. Let
the syrup boil well and skim il before
adding the fruit. Merely scaid the latter
a very short time, not putting very much
into the kettle at once, so that by gentle
stirring it every part can coon come in
contact with the boiling syrup. Then
with fruit ladle fill the bottles, being
careful not to dip in too much juice.
Add more fruit TO syrup left, and con
tinue thus until all are cooked. With
good bottles | have no trouble in keepine
fruit, but it is well to occasionally buy
new rubbers as the old ones lose their
elasticity and become hard, Many a
bottle of fruit is lost from neglect in this
particular. These rubber rings only cost
a cent apiece, or 10 cents a dozen.

HOW TO WRITE PLAYS.
Mr.. Bou Cicault Reveals the Secrets
of His Literary Workshop.
From the Pail Mall Gazette


From the Pail Mall Gazette
A drama is composed OF a series OF
scenes, each leading to the next, for con.
tinuity is the soul of interest. In anv
other works of fiction the novelist or the
poet can arrest the action, to moralize or
develop. He may even retrograde, and
take his reader back; but the uramatist
must 20 on, for he represents life as 1t
flOws-life in action, not in description. In
shaping his work it is necessary that no
scene shall be longer than the suffering re-
quires-that is, when an incident inflicts
suffering on the characters he must not
prOlo ng such scene beyond the natural
amount OF suffering which the characters
would endure, nor fall snort OF what is
due. II the novelist otiends In this way
