FARM NOTES

DhlRYING and p~asturing have been
60 long considered as one and the same
occupation that but few farmers will
venture to engage in the former without
FIRST devoting "a large portion OF the
farm to grass upon which the COWS may
lie allowed to Craze during the day.
When that method is changed for that
of feeding at the barD.yard 1t Is termed
''soiling' the cows. Even those who
do not believe solliDg can be done pro.
1tably involuntarily practice the soil
ing method to a certain extent during
the winter season, for at that time the
snow covers the pasture ground and
cCmpels the dairyman to prepare the
food Tor the cows and give them his at
tentiOn in the barn yard. The princi-
pal objection to soiling is that it re-
QuIres a large outlay for extra labor.
yet there is as much profit derived from
winter dairylng as there Is during the
summer. The real benefit IS in the
saving of manure, which is the most
important occupation on the farm, and
the expense Of providing long fences is
done away with. Practical expert
ments show that by the aid of the
manure saved when soiling.a sufficlency
of green food can be grown on a small
plat to feed quite a number Of cows, as
well as to provide a better variety of
food and secure greater yields Of milk
and butter. Professor Stewart, in his
book on feeding animals, mentions how
he fed four horses and seven cows for
Fifteen days on the food grown upon
forty rods of ground, and he has esti-
mated that forty rods OF ground will
produce enough to equal the summer
feeding of one COW. but sets aside half
an acre in clover as the allowance for a
cow during the summer. This result
is not the experiment Of aslngle season,
but the work of fourteen years devoted
to soiling, by which method the cows
give 20 per cent, more milk than when
kept on pasture; and rye, clover, orchard
grass, timothy, green oats and fodder
corn. with ground grain when required,
compose the daily diet. The system is
one that permits Of the gradual accum-
ulation Of wealth in the annual
increased fertility of the soil, and
though extra labor may be necessary,
yet it is more effectual in operation, as
1T is not distributed over a large space,
consequently there is economlzing In
hauling loads to great distances over the
fields. Selling may not be profitable to
those who have plenty of pasture and
large tracts Of land, but it will enable
those having limited areas to engage in
dairying. when, by the proper applica.
ton of labor, they may realize larger
profits than those who devote more
land to dairying but adhere to the pas
turage system.

From the Spirit

A little six year-old daughter OF
Mr.. George Staub, residing on the
east side of the Shenandoah river,
near Manning's Ferry, fell from a
rail fence last Tuesday, and broke
her neck, death ensuing instantly.
Horse thieves seem to be getting
IN their work in this section. Last
Tuesday night a valuable bay mare
was stolen from Mr.. II. L. Miley,
near Charlestown, and on the same
night q horse was taken from Mr.
Gageby, near Browns Crossing
The last named animal was found
near Halltown, but Mr.. Miley's has
not yet turned up. A horse stolen
from Mr.. Luther Glaize, near VIM
chester, was found in field near
Romney. An efficient organization
OF our farmers would do much to-
wards stopping these depredations.

How Men Die.

If we know all the methods Of APP
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and postpone the moment
when surrender becomes inevitable.
In many instances the inherent
strength of the body sutfices to en-
able it to oppose the tendency to-
ward death. Many however have
lost these forces to such an extent
that there is little or no help. In
other cases a little aid to the weak
ened Lungs will make all the differ
ence between sudden death and
many years IF useful life. Upon
the first symptom Of Cough, Cold
or any trouble Of the Throat or
Lungs, give that old and well-known
remedy-Boschee,s German Syrup,
a careful trial. 1t will prove what
thousands say of it to be, the "bene-
factor of any home. in l5-eow.

Mrs. sidney 8. SWAMP Sues for Divorce
From Her Husband
BALrrMoRE, June 22.-Mrs. Sid
ney Smith Swami, the wealthiest
lady in Maryland with the exception
of Miss Garrett, has filed bill in
the Circuit Court Of this city pray.
ing for an absolute divorce from her
husband, Donald Swan, on the ground
of unfaithfulness. The social promi-
hence of the parties has made this
new scandal the talk of Newport and
Baltimore social circles. Mr.. Swami
answers his wife's plea, making no
opposition, but putting the plaintiff
to proof as to the essential charge OF
the bill.
Mr.. and Mrs. Swami were married
eight years ago. She at that time
being 1S years Of age and he u.
They have one child. Mrs. Swami is
a daughter OF the la.e VIM. +. Tur-
ner of Wheatland. four miles from
Charlestown, West Va. and a grand
daughter of Edward Patterson OF
Baltimore. Mrs. Swann's grand.
mother was daughter of Gen. Sam
uel Smith, who was United States
Senator from Maryland for SO years.
MIR. Swami is son of the late John
Swami Of Hunting Ridge, Md. His
grandmother was sister OF William
Donnell and John S. Donnell. At
the time of his marriage MIR. Swami
was clerk in bank. Mrs. Swami
inherited 100000 from her grand
father and other relations, and the
newly welded couple lived elegantly
in the city. Mrs. Swami was ia
vorite in Baltimore society. MIR.
and Mrs. Swami were in the habit
of spending their Summer at New
port. where they occupied cottage
during the season and entertained
largely, Mrs. Swami being here, as
in Baltimore, a social favOrite.
The proceedings for divorce were
begun very quietly, and the greatest
effort was made to keep the facts
from becoming public. Since the
filing of the bill Mrs. Swami has
gone to Newport in company with
her aunt, Miss Louisa Patterson.
Four months ago the couple went to
Paris. While there the gay young
husband is reported to have spent
$4,000 in a single week. About a
month ago he returned, his wife re-
fusing to live with him any longer.
The same steamer brought a letter
from his wife to his father, in which
she wrote: II send you home your
son." The wife returned in another
steamer and began divorce proceed

The Result of Merit.

When anything stands a test OF
fifty years among a discriminating
people, it is pretty good evidence
that there is merit somewhere. Few,
if any, medicines have met with such
continued success and popularity as
has marked the progress of Brand
reth's Pills, which after a trial OF
over fifty years, are conceded to be
the safest and most etfectual blood
purifier, tonic and Alternative ever in
PRODUCED to the public.
That this is the result of merit,
and that Brandreth's Pills perform
all that is claimed for them, is con-
clusively proved by the fact that
those who regard them with the
greatest favor are those who have
used them the longest.
Brandreth's Pill are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either plain
or sugar coated.
