THE DAIRY.

-Be sure that the cows manger is
low enough. It is natural for COW to
feed from near the ground.-Rural New
Yorker.
Even in sections that are noted for
excellence Of dairy products, there are
many inferior cows. 1t will be many
years before the scrub is gone out of
this country.
Many creameries forbid the use OF
cotton-seed meal. as the patrons have
not the proper Judgment to feed it to
their stock. Bnt linseed meal is very
healthful for all animals, although not
giving quite so high an analysis as cot
ton-seed. 1t should he fed sparingly to
cows for buttcr-making. however. In
dian meal should also be fed with eau
ton. as it is liable to produce caked
udder IL fed in large quantities.
Where cows feed from platform
level with the floor they stand on. they
will stretch out after the food. getting
down on their knees, which is injurious
and unpleasant for them. This can be
avoided by having the feed on an in
clined plane three feet long and four
inches high. The cows can easily get
all the food without extra effort. as it
has tendency to work toward instead
OF from them.-O. c. Farmer.
The plan Of scalding milk pals,
pans. etc. before they have been thor

The days are all the same:
There's nothing grand TO do or see

Had tossed upon the ocean wave.
And climbed the Jungfrau's side;
Had journeyed from the Golden Gate
To stored Eastern lands
And pitched his tent where Afric's streams
Roll down their golden sands;''
Had glided through the Grand Canal
Meath soft Venetian skies.
And Ia strange Northern lands had seen
The sun Of midnight rise.
Through many cities grand and great
In wonder he had trod,
And on historic battle fields
His feet had pressed the sod.
He roamed through galleries OF art,
And palaces OF kings.
And filled his memory with store
OF rare and wondrous things;
And then he came to that small vale,
Content no more 10 roam.
And said: There's not in all the world,
So sweet place as Home"

One Of Our SicknaBnes.

One of our exchanges gives the
theory of Fenimore Cooper, the famous
writer. and adds that he probably
knew more about Indians in the early
days than did any other white man.
Cooper says that in those days the In

as .lengcese." and the journey from
that pronunciation to Yankees" is
easy to see.--pansy.

GIVE THEM A SHOW.
The MIiitia Bows and TheIr Employ
ers in a Little Middle.

The officers OF the militia, who are try
ing to make the militia encampment a
success, are much disguised over the spirit
displayed BY some of the employers of the
members of the companies. The encamp-
ment will necessarily take up a weeks
time and the militiamen will lose that
much time from their wok. Most OF
them are young men, working tor a liv-
ing, and will hesitate about gong to the
encampment il they think that by dong
so they will lose their employment. Some
of the employers spoken to have said that
that their employees can go provided they
get some one to fill their places, otherwise
they 90 at their peril and will have to
take their chances of getting back their
positions when they return.
No appropriation was made for the en-
campment and therefore it will be con-
Quoted by private subscription. Every

vides for an encampment. as it is consid-
cred the best possible school for the citi-
soldier. The officers have secured
transportation from the railroad company
and ratlons from private sources. and CON
sequen:ly expect employers to do their
part and grant the members OF the militia

residence here won the highest esteem of
the people of Denver BY his excellent

should have been.

Another name was yesterday added to

on the corner of Nineteenth aud O'NelI
streets. She was trying to start a FIRE in
the kitchen stove to prepare a breakfast
for her husband. The fire did not burn
well, so she took the coal oil can and was
pouring oil from it upon the fire. The
oil touched the Goals aud at once a sheet
Of flame shot up, which, reached the can
she held and caused it to explode. The
burning oil few in all directions and fairly
saturated the lady's clothing. Shrieking
and frantically tearing her burning gar
ments, Mrs. Kurtz rushed into the yard,
where she ran about in a perfect delirium
of agony.
Her husband and a boarder named
Will Rath were in an adjoining room and
hearing the explosion and the cries rushed
into the yard. The husband was half
crazed by the sight and endeavored to
the flames by tearing OFT the
poor woman s clothing. Mr.. hath as
sisted him but the two made but poor
progress In their work MIR. Ernest
Wellnitz, who was passing the house at
the time, heard the cries and rushed to
the scene. lie grasped the situation at
once and tearing OF his coat he threw it
around the roasting woman and succeeded
in stirling the flames,
As 1t was supposed that her W house
was a-hre the poor, suffering m was
tenderly carried into the home Of a neigh

description. She was burned from head
to foot. with the exceptions OF a few spots
on her back and a narrov circle about her
waist which her belt had protected. Her
face and body were blackened and slnged
so hat few were able to bear a second
sight of the sufferer. Pending the ar
rival of the physicians her sufferings were
agonizing aud wruug the hearts of friends
unable to alleviate them.

promptly on the scene and did everything
that medical skill could suggest to render
her comparatively easy. This they seon

are worth at least as much as you
pay for them. You may not be
able to tell good leather from bad;
you may not know the difference
between a high grade shoe and
an article of rougher make, and
yet it is your own fault if you are
imposed upon. You cannot be
expected to detect those diff

such a material difference, but
you can at least take the pre-

BLAINE'S GREAT POPULARITY.
His Diplomacy in Malta Troubles
Sfreupthen Him I'm thu Soufh

Hon. William B. Thompson, one of the most
prominent and successful lawyers of st. Louis
is stopping at the Rainier hotel. Some fifteen
years ago he was elected TO the state Senate and
served for four years as chairman of the judici-
airy committee. At that time he was barely old
enough TO take the Office. Though he has since
been a steadfast Democrat, he has not held
Office, but has preferred to follow the practice
of law Several years ago he obtained some
property interests here, but he has never before
visited the city.
In touching on politics in Missouri he said
yesterday: "You will find In st. Louis and the
other cities many Democrats who are with ex-
President Cleveland in his opposition to the free
coinage of silver, and on the other hand many
in the country regions have been turned against
Cleveland by his position in that matter But
on the whole the sentiment is that Cleveland is
the strongest man for the presidency The
masses of the party are with him, though the
machine politicians are against him. II con-
gress at the coming session should settle the sill
yer question so that il is not an important issue
in 1892, there is little doubt In my mind that
Cleveland VIII be elected in spite of the fact
that Governor Hill and the New York machine
are against him.
.'Blalne easily leads all the Republicans in
popularity. You would be surprised to find
how his course during that New Orleans trouble
has made him popular in the south You will
see many strong Democrats warm in expressions
of admiration for Blaine and his diplomatic sue
cesses"
