How long SHAH the Cow Go Dry

AS regards the period of time that the
mich COW should go dry before calving,
that depends upon the animal i'Aelf,
and the care taken of her If she is
from line of ancestors that have been
bred for milk and fed for milk, and she
has been SO kept as to stimulate the secre-
ton of milk to the highest point it may
be better that she should not go dry at
all. If she is bred from line of scam
ty mixers, she will naturally go dry, or
nearly dry, for some months before
calving, and it will be almost a waste
of grain to try to change her
from this tendency. But with the
ordinary good COW, the time that she
will remain in milk may be heightened
by judiclous feeding and care, and if
this is done while young it will not only
continue as habit with her, but she
will transmit it in a stronger degree to-
her offspring. With the present oppor-
tunities for selling milk in our manu-
featuring villages, and the creameries
for making butter, which enable one to
do nearly as well in winter as in spring
or fall, it will pay to keep the cows in
milk as long as the milk is sufficient to
pay for the grain given. For this pur-
pose feeds of wheat bran Or middlings
are better than richer grains. Rural

The mechanical world is moving

Cotton is low, and there is really
danger of over-production. The re-

besides saving the freight.
"A farmer remarked the other day
that the price of hogs was still low, but
the price would not be so bad except for
the fact that corn is so high. If corn

GARDENING.
The Pleasure of Gardening is Enhanced If
There is Profit Also.

The Pleasure of Gardening is Enhanced If
There is Profit Also.
Altogether there is great deal of
gardening carried on every year simply
for the pleasure it affords, without any
regard to pecuniary profit. There are
many men and women of ample means,
who are abundantly able to crafty
every desire without care or labor, who
anticipate the gardening season with as
much eagerness as they do the occur
renee OF any other event that promises
pleasure. Amongst the ladies there
are many that await the advent of
spring, on account of its relations
to gardening, with more pleasurable
anticipation than would be involved in
the expectancy of new set of pearls
or diamonds. And on the part of men
there are those who find more pleas
nre i'll the operation of garden work
than others who seek it in billiards,
or driving, or hunting, or other sports
that are resorted to for the purpose
of resting and recuperating mind and
body. There is as much physical effort
involved in billiards or ten-pins, or
hunting or driving, as there is in ma
nipulating hoe or trowel, or other i'm
plements amid the plots of the garden.
The ordinary loafer or dude may regard
with contempt the latter instruments
as a means of pleasant and helpful ex-
ercise, and persist in regarding the cue
and balls, the gun and bat, as the only
appropr late instruments for gentleman
~ exercise; but as a rule the more in
telligent men and women, who are in
sympathy with nature aud realize the
opportunities afforded in her realm for
genuine health-giving employment of
mind and body, are not long in finding
out the superiority of gardening, in it's
various branches, over all the other
means mentioned as satisfying recrea-
ton. Of course the large MAORI
ty of those engaged in gardening
aim to make their work profta-
Bile as well as afford a pleasant
recreation. Very many regard it, SIM

even in pecuniarv way: abundantly
satisfied if they get back the same
amount of vegetables that they could
have bought with the money expended
on the garden, regarding the privilege
of having them fresh, as compensative-
ly for any extra labor in getting them.
Still others garden every year and are
more than satisfied if they get twenty.
five per cent practical benefit from
their planting There are plenty of this
class in our cities and towns who invest
every year in high-priced seeds and en-
ploy high-price labor and spend dollar
for every twenty-five cents worth OF
vegetables obtained, and are still repaid
for all the efforts made. The outdoor
employment brings health and pleasure
beyond any to be gained from the usual
stinted sources of fashionable life.
Of course there is no necessity for
cultivating garden at a loss, and as
we are not rich we do not want to do
that kind of gardening. We want to
make big per cent. of profit. We
want to count a ten cent package OF
cabbage seed into twenty-five dollar
crop of fine cabbages, and bushel OF
potatoes into a crop of twenty-five
bushels, yea, fifty-bushel crop of the
same. 1t is very interesting indeed to
see how much we can make out of "
ten cent package of cabbage, tomato,
pepper and onion seed; to see how
many peas and beans we can make
from one pint or quart. If we were
rich as Cresus the pleasure of gardsn-
ing would be enhanced by the greater
pecnniary profit-even if we give away
the product. Farm.

Not a Domestic Animal.

The profound decision of the County
Commissioners of the State that the
dog is not to be considered domestic
animal might easily become the object
of the funny MANS wit and the dog
lovers sarcasm, were no ready eXpla-
nation at hand. The question of the
exact status of dogs has arisen under
the statute relating to the damage done
by them, and the vital point lies in the
first clause, which reads us follows:
whoever suffers loss by the worrying,
manning or killing of his sheep, lambs,
fowls or other domestic animals by
dogs" etc. Under cover of the phrase
''other domestic animals" claims have
actually been brought in this State for
damages done to one dog by another,
and the County Commissioners have in
their resolving" simply given an en-
phatic slam to door that might lead
to a host Of abuses under this benef-
cjal statute.~-Springfield (Mass) Re.
