Effects of Training Calves.

An interesting instance OF the results
Of training was recently given in my
dairy. The home-bred cows are all
reared WITHOUT ever having sucked
their dams and are handled from birth.
There has never been any difficulty in
teaching the calves Of these cows to
drink the milk. One lesson. giving the
finger to guide the young thing to the
milk in the pail. and then gradually
taking it away. has Away been sutii-
Gent. The calf of COW purchased
some time ago. and now weaving, has
shown an extraordinary obstinacy and
stupidity in refusing to drink, and
nearly two weeks time has been occu-
pied in teaching it. This cow when a
calf sucked its dam for month and
her calves up to this have always
sucked. The habit is thus inbred

THE DAIRY

When put in the cnurn cream
should be always stirred when new
cream is added. Dairy World.
TO break kicking COW we fasten
thin rope across her back and around
her belly in front OF teats and draw it
tight. This stops the kicking.
Foul Odors in milk. contracted
from the foul air Of stables, from un-
suitable food or from filth introduced
into the milk in the process of milking
or otherwise, can not be entirely re-
moved by aeration. In these cases
prevention is the best cure.
The milk OF the COW is made from
her blood, and her blood is made from
the food she eats and water she drinks.
For the purity Of her milk it is import
ant she should possess good filter,
when fed on distillery Stops, or drink
from some OF the pools provided by
farmers for their cows.
As general rule three principal
things are to be observed in butter
making: cleanliness, temperature and
uniformity in quality and color. The
temperature Of the dairy or milkhouse
should be % degrees in summer and SO
degrees in winter and a thermometer
should be used by the smallest dairy.
We can feed heifer, hearty, bone
forming fodder like bran and oats, and
develop in her. before she calves, a
tendency to heavy butter secretion.
This can also be done with her of
spring and the result of generations OF
such feeding and of careful selection
when breeding, will be cows remark
able for butter production.-W. w.
Cooke, in Farm and Home.
Packages for butter should always
be air tight. Tubs and firkins should
be seasoned and the hoops driven
tight. and the outside filled with shell.
lac varnish or oil and bceswax. This
gives the tubs neat and clean ap-
pearance. The tubs may also be lined
with parafine or parchment paper to
protect the butter. White oak is the
best material for firkins and tubs.-N.
Y. Times.
In state of nature, or when run
ming at large. though domesticated, a
COW will never let her calf suck more
than small quantity Of milk at any
one time. particularly in the first few
days. Her teats are tender, then, and
she has not yet become accustomed ia
the calf and to its demand upon her for
snstenance, 50 she simply moves on.
and the calf must wait q little, until
she Is again in the humor. This is
natures way OF checking calfs
greedincss; and SO it stands to reason
that calf brought up by hand should
be allowed only . little quantity Of
milk ut time. and should have that
little often. at all events during the
first week Of its existence. American

''Nobby."

She made her first appearance ia So
clety last summer in the most exclusive
OF American watering-places. It was
rumored that her wealth was reckoned
by millions. She occupied with her
mother a palace which had been built
for Russian prince She herself was
in the first bloom of youth and posses
sed of a beautiful face and figure.
She appeared. richly dressed, at a
ball, and was soon surrounded by Il
well-bred but curious crowd. For an
hour she replied to all remarks only
by smile and monosyllables. But at
last she spoke:
That's the nobbiest fellow I've seen
here!''
She is known now as tho .nobby
heiress. She never has been able to
understand why her social career came
to SO sudden a close.
The Companion does not indulge in
social gossip. But this true incident
will serve to point lesson to the tens
Of thousands Of girls who are just en-
tering the world hoping to find friends,
approval and love as women.
No beauty, no wealth, no influence
will atone for vulgarity and ignorance
in language and manners. The beauty
will disappear as the years 60 by; the
wealth often follows it; but the charm
Of high-breeding. OF a fine manner, re-
mains with woman as long as does
her breath.
Nor is this rare gift SO difficult to
acquire. Begin now, while you are at
school. Cleanse your mind of vulgar
ideas and your language OF slang. Then
forget yourself Pleasant words will
come uncalled if the feelings of your
heart are gentle, simple and sincere.

The Interesting Anecdotes Told by Parsos
Weems.

The Interesting Anecdotes Told by Parsos
Weems.
People who have forgotten Washing
toms battles remember the cherry-tree
and his Ratchet Wcems started that
pleasing tale. and it is he who tells also
OF race on foot between George and
his neighbor, ''Langy Dadc."
First, let me tell you-for boys to-
day resemble the Apostle Paul in one
thing, certainly: they like to prove all
things that among the many authors
who have written about the youth OF
Washington, the one upon whose pre-
serves all the rest have browsed, whose
quaint stories have come to be our
classics, was this very Parson Wecms.
People who have grown up in the
neighborhood OF Mt Vernon, where
Weems was well known, are not quite
sure whether there ever was a Ratchet
or, for that matter, even cherry
tree in the garden OF excellent Mr..
Augustine Washington, near Frcder-
icksburg!
For Parson Weems was reputed to
have very vivid imagination. He
used to drive about Fairfax County in
an old fashioned gig with calash,
peddling his own books and others,
plantation to plantation. When he
succeeded in making sale. he would
whip out the fiddle that always accom-
panied him, and. standing up in his gig,
play the merriest. maddest dance mu-
sic. The negroes, who stood gaping
round his gig, could no more resist
him than the rats could resist the Pied
Piper Of Hamelin! First, they swaycd,
then they beat time with foot and hand,
and at last broke into regular corn
shocking jig! When Weems remained
over night at the house OF one OF his
patrons, he would volunteer to read
family prayers. and at the moment the
last amen was said. would fall to
playing reels and jigs upon his fiddle.
His sermons were the oldest ever heard
from Church o. England clergyman.
He was often At Mount Vernon, and
from General and Mrs. Washington no
received many kindnesses. In the
course OF much fireside gossip, during
his wandePings from one country house
to another, Mr.. Weems picked up the
anecdotes Of Washington's youth, which
he has told in his book. And ii you are
ever so fortunate as to visit the Society
Library in University Il ace, New York,
ask permission to see a copy they have
there, an early edition, of this famous
Life of George Washington. It was
published in 1914. with an introduction
by Light Horse Harry Lee"
And now for the foot-races, Us re-
ported by Parson Weems: "'Egad! he
ran wonderfully said my amiable and
aged friend John Fitzhugh, Esq. who
knew Washington well. We had no
body hereabouts that could come near
him. There was young Langhorn
Dade Of Westmoreland, a COMPOUNDED
clean-made, tight young fellow. and a
mighty swift runner, too. But then,
he was no match for George. Langy,
indeed, did not like to give it up, and
would brag that he sometimes brought
George to tie. But l believe he was
mistaken, for have seen them run to-
gether many time, and George always
beat him easy enough. Mrs. Burton

heard. The members of the company
