The many i'm
provements for the handling and shipping OF
ore from this mine in the last six or seven
months goes to show that Capt. Searie is a

needed to make the mine give good returns.
There were ffty-two 5-ton buggies day
| shipped over the No. plane last week.

FARM NOTES

AUGUST BUrTFR.-We are often
told that June and July butter is prime
when August butter fails; then it grows
better in September, and 30 on. Why
is June and July butter better than Au-
gust butter2 Because the cows have
gone out in the fresh field and have
pure grass In abundance. The flow Of
milk is increased, and we readily churn
butter from it In about one-half the
time in July that is required in the
winter time or in other seasons. This
IS because OF the June grass. The last
OF July the feed begins to fail. June
grass has become too ripe, and some-
thing else, not as good, must take its
place. The dairyman should have a
crop Of winter rye, and feed that with
his corn meal, and carry it through the
month of August. Cows fail In milk
more in the month of August than in
any other part Of the season. In the
month Of September the cattle are al
lowed to sweep over the meadows and
around the corners of the fences where
the moving machine did not reach.
The remedy is to feed corn meal dur
ing tho month Of August. 1t would
cost a trife over one cent per pound for
feed and extra trouble, but the butter
Weld would be kept up. If the rye gets
too ripe before August have a crop Of
| clover for the cattle. When the rye
gets nicely started, cut it with a now
ing machine, and a second crop will
soon be ready.

Some of Our Girls.

Glycerine and rose water is a good
remedy for chapped lips, and young
ladies will find it much safer than being
tickled with a mustache.
Three American girls at Monte Carlo
make themselves popular by wearing
live parrots on their hats. When the girls
want to say something real harsh they
pull a string.
4 Worcester girl at Vassar who spent
the evening outside without permission
and climbed in at a window tried to
''cover her tracks" but couldn't find
anything large enough to do it with.
"What are our young ladies dongE'
asks an exchange. They are wondering
whether their Fall bonnet will be the
only n Of its kind at church on Sun
day, or whether there will be half a
dozen more like it.
The t~wo-tongued girl is now i'll a mu-
scum. That's an excellent place for
her, as her victims must necessarily be
few, but if she ever gets loose and
mounts a rostrum in defence Of wo-
mans rights, flee to the nearest woods.
In China and japan the girls are
named after some beautiful or favorite
object. If the custom was in vogue
here lots of fathers would be calling
their daughters Bootjack, Black Fat or
after some other favorite brand of chew
ing tobacco.

become, in the amplest sense OF the
term, a work of art; it was likewise in
evitable that sculpture should become a
new creation. These forces were how
ever, of wide application, and, carried
into politics, they reacted upon art with
a favorable influence hardly to be eXag-
gerated. The antipathies of race were
too ardent, the Tivalries of clans too
bitter. for the tribes of Greece to be
fused into a nation; but they did what
they could in this direction, and made a
vast advance upon the example set by
Phenicia. They constituted themselves
into republican cities or states, each
conceived as of a moral being under the
obligation Of self-government; the indi-
vidual was merged in the community,
no citizen was permitted to occupy him
self solely with his private affairs; per-
sonal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT was a public
wrong, personal display an affront to
the state; hence art became a common
interest, her masterpieces common prop

u is estimated, and safely so, says
the Dairyman, that a good, well-fed
COW puts $40 worth of manure on about
the four acres of land it takes to keep
her for a year on most farms. Putting
that amount of fertilization on the soil
of a fairly good farm o o makes it pro-
duce so that one COW cannot eat the
product of four acres; and the result is
more mouths to feed and more milk, or
larger grain crops to sell. The above
facts make the anchor the good farmer
cllngs to when beset with the tempta-
tion, to which the weaklings yield, to
abandon dairying and stock raising
when milk and meat are cheap. He
knows, or ought to, that increased fer
twillzation is money in the safest bank in
the world, if he does not count it III his
purse this year, and that to abandon
the means of fertilization on old and
high-priced land means hard times,
rags, ignorance and no music, either IN
the soul or IN the house.

To TEST THE HEALTH OF A HORSE
OR Gown horses the pulse at rest
beats forty times, in an OK from fifty to

seventy to eighty beats per minute.
1t may be felt wherever a large artery
crosses a bone, for instance. 1t is gen.
orally examined in the horse on the
cord which crosses oyer the bone of the
lower Jaw in front of It's curved posi-
ton, or in the bony ridge abovet the eye,
and in cattle over the middle of the
first rib, and In sheep by placing the
hand on the left side, where the beat
ing of the heart may be felt. Any ma
terial variation of the pulse from the
figures given above may be considered
a sign Of disease. If rapid, hard and
full, it is an indication of high fever or
inflammation; if rapid, small and weak,
low fever, loss or blood or weakness.
If slow, the possibilities point to brain
diseases and if irregular, to heart
troubles. This is one Of the principal
and sure tests of the health Of an ami
