How Many Times ShOuld.a Cow be MIXED
Daily.

The question is asked: GLOW many
times should a cow be MIXED daily an i
what would be the effect of more or less
frequent milking upon the quantity and
quality of the milk?" As a rule, and With
ordinary COWS, twice milking suffices. and
it is as often as it can be proftably done,
in conjunction with other farm work.
But there are extraordinary COWS that
ought to be MIXED three times day
once every eight hours.
This would be profitable, and add
greatly to the COWS comfort. It would
also stimulate nature to an increased flow
of milk TO meet the extra demand. There
would, therefore, be greater quantity of
milk. The quality would also be improv-
ed, or, rather, the milk would not be so
impoverished by the absor ptlon of the
fats after it is secreted Repeated ex
perinents show that the longer the in
terval between milkjngs, the poorer the
milk. If MIXED as fast as secreted, there
is reason to belive it would all be ''strip-
pings."-United States Dairyman.
Ii frequent milking during the day will
increase the quality and quantity of the
milk, we are inclined to agree with the
Dutchman who had just tapped fresh
key of beer and partook of hearty
draught of the fosmy beverage and said,
off efer I vhas to have one laetle Shersey
COW dot gift 80 goot upd blepty of milk
like dot peer, Ply shiminy I milk her more
as dotZen dimes day."

THE SONGS MY MOTHER SUNG.

hear the songs they sing to-day,
But never one is sweet
As those my mother sang to me
When sitting at her feet,
My thoughts go back to childhood years,
When hope and were young,
And as of old hear to-day
The songs my mother sung.
At twilight's hour l often dream
L am child once more;
seek the house where was born,
pass the open door.
There mother rocks beside the hearth,
Her little ones among,
And life forgets its cares to hear
The songs my mother sung.
Q, long the grass has grown above
That loving mother face,
But still in faithful hearts she keeps
Her old, her dear old place.
No other songs can be so sweet
As those we heard when young,
When sitting at our mothers knee
The songs our mother sung.

They travelled all that night as fast as
Williams was able to so, and about noon
the next day lay down to sleep. Hedden,
being auhurt, was soon asleep, wi b the
riff (of no practicable use) by his side /;
Williams, who was IL too much agony to
sleep, was suddenly startled by heavy
shadow being cast in frost of him, caused
by an Indian using from the ground on
the opposite side of Hedden, and having
in his hands the gun. Redden was on his
feet in al instant, and rushed at the saw
age with his butcher-bnife. The Iuoian
fed, Hedden in close pursuit and but few
feet behind, striking at him with the
knife, when, coming to a bluff, the Indian
jumped down, carrying the gun with him.
Believing themselves pursued, the two
men struck deeper into the timber, aud
continued travelling as long as Williams
could walk.
Day after day they struggled on, Will
Hams continually getting worse and able

food that could be obtained was bugs and

except the one where the arrow had
penetrated the abdomen were now run
ming sores, and his body was swollen to
an enormous size, till he was upabIa to
rise from the ground without assistance.
The self-sacrihciDg devotion of Hedden
to his unfortunate companion was most
touching, and Williams repeat edly urged
him TO 90 on to the fort alone, and leave
him to die in the wilderness. But Hedden
firmly refused, saying he would stay with

Always try to stop the car on the

How to Clean Engravings.


1t frequently happens that fine en-
cravings, despite the care taken of
them, will in some unaccountable
way become stained and soiled to
such an extent as to seriously impair
their beauty. To those of our read
ers who own engravings that have
been injured in this way, n recipe for
cleaning them viii prove of value
Put the engraving on a smooth board,
and cover it with thin layer of com
mon salt, finely pulverized; then
squeeze lemon juice upon the salt un-
til considerable portion of it is dis
solved. After every part OF the pict-
ure has been subjected to this treat
ment, elevate one end of the board so
that it will form an angle Of about
forty-five degrees with the horizon
From any suitable vessel, pour on the
engraving boiling water, until the
salt and lemon juice are all washed
Off 1t Will then be perfectly free
from stain. 1t must be dried On the
board, or on some smooth surface,
gradually. If dried by the fire or
sun, 1t will be tinged with a dingy,
yello,gish color.-Woman's Work. --
