It's Advantages Over Farm Dairying Set
Forth by A. L. CrOsby.
After showing the causes for poor
prices in farm dairying. and how these
are met by the public dairy, A. L. Cros-
by says: Another advanta Of the pub
lie dairy is that the farmers wife gets
rid Of the drudgery Of making butter
that doesn't sell for enough to pay for
the time and labor spent in making it.
On many farms the care OF the milk and
making the butter by the use OF old
fashioned dairy utensils has been the
cause of the breaking down Of the farm
er's wife, II not something worse. After
the public dairy becomes we'll established
another point of profit will be found in
the increased richness of the farm. caused
by the extra quantity and quality o. the
manure made ON account of keeping
more cows and giving them better feed.
Here in the East this Is one OF the most
serious drawbacks we have to contend
with-the want of sufficient manure.
Cow man re is not considered as good
as horse manure, and this is true where
the cows are fed little or no grain and
the horses are grained regularly; but
well-fed cows will make rich manure,
and tho moro cows we keep-keep we'll
the more and better our manure crop;
and though present prices of farm crops
are any thing but encouraging, yet we
ought to use every effort to improve our
farms. SO that when prices do improve
as improve they must, some time-we
will be ready to grow crops at least at
cost But aside from the anticipated
good prices, the only crop that pays At
all when prices are low is the heavy
yielding one; therefore now Is the time
when we need the manure. So II we
can profitably increase the size Of our
herds by establishing public dairies let
us do SO. and the by-products Of the
dairy-skimmed milk and manure-will
help US to make the big yield per acre,
the only kind that will pay at present.
not forgetting that our cows must be
made to give . good yield per head

VERY SMART PARROT.

Sho Spoke Many Lang uages and Loved to
Got Wet.
A parrot Of much cultivation died OF
old age in Plainfeld, N. j., q few days
ago. The bird was brought from Brazil
and was presented to George Lissignolo,
. New York broker, fifteen years ago.
At that time the knowing creature dis.
coursed freely in Spanish, Portuguese,
English and native gibberish, Of which
no one understand the meaning. In Mr..
Lissignolo's pretty Plainfield home the
bird soon became proficient in the
French and German languages, which
are spoken by tho members Of the family.
The linguistic powers Of Polly were
wonderfully developed. With smatter-
ing Of SO many languages the bird
seemed to know In which one to speak
respectfully and in which to swear
roundly. In Spanish and Portuguese
Polly's oaths we're not objected to, and
she seemed to know this. In English
her strongest ''swear words" were
'shut up" A rainstorm seemed to be
the parrots chief delight. Once outside
ON the lawn with drenching fall Of
rain upon her head, she would run
through her vocabulary with lightning
like rapidity, generally beginning with
o loud laugh 80 human in sound that no
stranger ever doubted, till he had seen
the bird, that 1t came from human
throat. The enunciation of the chill.
dren's names WAS wonderfully clear,
and many times were the little ones
called from play by the parrots close
imitation of the mothers voice.
In the presence of visitors Polly was
generally sedate, seldom Offering any
familiarities. Should the caller become
all boisterous, however, the parrot
would probably quiet him by closely
initiating his laugh. and then grooming
in anguish, the while exclaiming.
"Poor, poor Polly" as II, indeed, the
presence by such mortal vas one Of
the saddest things imaginable. The ex-
act age Of the bird is not known. As the
enamel was entirely gone from his bill,
those who claim to know say that fifty
or more years must certainly have
passed over Polly's head.-N. Y. Times.

TIME TO GET COOL.

Settlement NJ Lawsuit Begun Four
Hundred Years Ago.
Americans who complain OF the slow
ness Of justice in the courts. and point
to suits which have dragged their way
along from motion to motion and from
plea to plea for space covering ten or
even fifteen years. would be surprised,
perhaps, to learn that such cases are
promptness itself compared with GER
tain famous process ses in the Old World.
A lawsuit has just been brought to an
end in Hungary, for instance. which had
been on trial for just four hundred and
seventy years.
This was an older lawsuit by some
seventy years than one which has just
been settled in Poland. In the year
1890 farmer in that country laid claim
to the ownership of piece Of unculti-
waited and unused land. about fifty acres
in extent. of which another farmer was
in nominal po ssession.
The dispute was taken before the
court. There 1t remained. and the
usual postponements and arguments
took place. The original litigants died;
their descendants inherited the suit,
and beqnea thed it to their heirs. In
the year 1889 it was still on the docket
undecided. and apparently with no
prospect of decision.
The litigants, therefore, came to the
conclusion to celebrate the four-hun-
dredth anniversary of the suit by COM
promising it. They reached an AMIGA
BILE agreement on the point at issue,
and put an end forever to the long
wrangle.
ut is fortunate we agreed" said one
of the parties. because If we hadn't
both happened to be men OF q peacea-
BILE and accommodating disposition,
that lawsuit might have gone on for
J another four hundred years"
'sBut why" said the other party,
couldn't our ancestors have settled il
as easily in 1890 as we have in 1902
Because" replied the first ''they
were angry. In the interval which
has elapsed you and have had time to
cool off."--Youth's Companion.

THE FARMING WORLD.
FEEDING CALVES.

Canadian Farmer who Successfully
Uses Sklm. Min.
A very successful feeder In Canada
uses the following mothod In raising
calves on skim-milk.
1.-THE calves are fed by hand all the
new milk they will take three times
lay until about week old. Then skim
milk il added. only little at first. but
the quantity Of skim-milk Is so In
creased and that OF the new milk SO re-
duccd that in two weeks from the
commencement Of this change skim
milk only will be fed. The skim-milk
10 fed only when 1t IL sweet. a. when
sour IL produces scours and Injuries d.
gestion in other ways The skim-milk
Is fed at the temperature Of milk just
taken from the COW. In heating it .
portion Of the milk is put on the stove
in pan or pail, and heated gradually
till quite warm. II is then poured into
the portions respectively set apart for
each calf. The calves get the milk
three times day for, say month.
from the beginning Of the change to
skim-milk. but less quantity Is given
at noon, and II fed regularly they may
get all the skim-milk they will take
without injury to them.
When the change Is being made from
new milk to skim-milk fax seed is
added to the milk. 1t is prepared as
follows: For two calves take half tea
cupful Of fax at night, pour on two
quarts Of boiling water, allowing IL to
steep till morning. 1t is then warmed
and added to the milk; the quantity Of
tho fax may be gradually but SLOWLY in
creased until three-fonrths OF tcacup-
full of FAX seed, stepped in propoltio
ate increase Of hot water, is given tc
each animal. Tho fax for the night
meal is put to steep in the same way in
the morning. Milk Is fed until tho
calves are seven or eight months old.
They should have access to all the clean
water they will drink at all times.
They get all the meal they will eat up
clean twice q day. The mixture con-
sists of one-fourth ground peas, one
fourth ground oats, and one-haf wheat
bran; this is mixed with good hay run
through cutting-box. The proportion
of the hay to the meal is increased as
the calves get older. Where meal Of this
kind is not to bo had, boys, give your
calves oats, which you may feed whole.
and you need not mix them with cut
hay. When autumn comes, oat shcaves
are sometimes cut in the chatter and
the meal mixture added, but not SO
much Of it in quantity As when the cut
oat sheaves are not fed They get what
long hay they eat up clean in winter, and
gree n food of almost any kind in summer.
They are kept in loose box stalls in the
stable all through the first summer,
which are kept dark in the season oi
flies They may get good supply Of
sliced roots in the season for these.
