Farmer Sawyer, Of Walingford, had quite
an experience with his cattle His stock Of
hay ran out, and being unable to get more in
time no gave the cows some Of the dry leaves
he had collected for bedding, and lie. was
surprised to see that they appeared to enjoy
them. The leaves went so well that he CON
cluded that be wouldn't get any more hay
for a while, and, in fact, leaves were the
only thing that the SIX cows and two horses
lived on during the last half of the winter.
While eating hay the cows had given twelve
quarts OF milk weekly, yielding five pounds
Of butter After being put on the diet Of
leaves the quantity and quality OF the milk
increased until they gave fifteen quarts Of
milk, yielding seven pounds of butter Mr..
Sawyer intends to use nothing but leaves
during the winter hereafter, as the leaves can
DO had for the trouble OF collecting them, and
are better than costly hay or grain.-MerIden

The oldest AmerIcan oltr.

There is no doubt that St Augustine is the
oldest settlement Of white men in this conn-
try, but Santa Fe Is called the Oldest city be
cause It was a city before the coming OF the
white men, When the Spanlards first made
their way to the heart Of this country, about
1912, the site Of the present city Of Santa Fe
was occupied by prosperous and populous
pueblo town OF the Indians. The expedition
Of Alvar Nunez penetrated New Mexico in
1897, that Of Marco de Mia followed IA 1889.
but Coronado Is believed to have been the
first 70 push his journey as far as the Santa
Fe town. Several other expeditions, more or
less unsuccessful, entered the country. en-
deavoring TO establish missions among the
natives These explorers uniformly reported
that these people were considerably advanced
IN civilization, that they manufactured
clothing and weapons, built houses Of stone
several stories high, and cultivated the soil
with diligence and worked mines Of gold and
silver.
1t was not until 1890 that any permanent
Spanish settlements were made. The Span
iards then literally took possession Of the
country, built towns, laid out roads increas-
ed the commerce OF the country and especial
" increased the yield Of the mines by extern
sive workings. They literally enslaved the
natives, compelling them TO serve them in
every way. In 1915 the Spaniards made
Santa Fe the capital Of their new dominions,
which they called New Mexico. But the In
dams rebelled against their new masters, es-
pecially because Of the toilsome labor In the
mines, and in 1880 they rose In numbers,
massacIed nearly all Of their oppressors and
drove the remainder from the country as far
south as FL Paso del Norte After several at
tempts the Spaniards regained possession Of
the country in 1893. Santa Fe was Mexi-
can city until 1t was taken by the United

Fondness for Old Jokes.

It Is q curious fact that despite an this talk
about baldheaded jokes, the average attend
ant at the Ministries is never so happy as
when he hears Jest that reminds him Of the
days of yore. The Tourist was at the rink
last night and easily recognized many Of the
jokes as old acquaintance, but he didn't
growl, nudge the man on the adjoining seat
and remark that he had heard that last one
away back IN 6S. Not a bit Of it. The old
jokes are the best, and the Tourist enjoys
them. SO does everybody else. But it has
become the popular thing to SCOT when they
appear, limping, perhaps, on crutches, but
for all that, secretly in our heart Of hearts
we entertain love for fun that will never
grow cold.-Albany Journal.

while far from help. If the wound be at the
tip of a finger, should like to get rid of the
part by some such prompt auto-Surgical
means as a knife or possible hot iron affords
Failing these, or while seeking help, it is wise
to quarantine the poison by two ligatures
drawn tight enough TO stop all circulation.
The heart weakness is made worse by emo
ton, and at this time a man may need stimu-
lus to enable him 10 walk home. As soon as
possible some one should thoroughly inhltrate
the seat of the bite with permanganate or
other agents. By working and l1neading the
tissues the venom and the antidote may be
made to come into contact and the former
be so far destroyed At this time it becomes
needful to relax the ligatures to escape gan
creme. This relaxation Of course lets some
venom into the blood round but in a few
moments it is possible again to tighten the
ligatures, and again to inject the local anti
dote. If the dose Of venom be large and the
distance from help great, except the knife or
cautery little is to be done that is Of value.
