Be Gentle With the Cows.

A cow is largely a creature Of habit,
and will readily accommodate herself
to the conditions under which she is.
placed. 1t should be borne in mind,
however, that any undue excitement
tends to lesson her butter productive
ness, and therefore should be avoided.
If a COW is chased with a dog, bounded
here and there, continually bothered
by steers or mischievous colts, or by
both, and confined at night in small
yard, and devoured by mosquitoes.
a small pail will hold her milk. But
place the same COW in comfortable
surroundings, amongst companions of
her own gentle kind, away from the
annoyance of other animals; put her
in a clean stable, out Of the reach of
flies at milking time, and then turn
her out to enjoy a hearty meal OF
dewy grass, and see if, under these
altered conditions, the same pail will
hold what milk she gives.
Cows should be treated with the ut
most kindness. The man who, on the
slightest provocatfon, will strike or.
kick a cow, is more deserving of the
same treatment than of being paid
wages. In fact an i'll tempered man or
woman is a decided damage around a.
COW yard. Even when a dangerous
COW is found there is no occasion to
raise a disturbance with her. Dry her.
up and prepare her for the butcher;
life is too short and precious to both
er with mean COW. -

Manuring. the Garden.

It is very necessary to keep the gar
den rich, and Improperly managed two
crops and sometimes more can be
raised in one season. it is important
that care be taken, to fertilize if neces-
sary every year. While commercial
fertilizers can, be.used to some extent,
yet well rotted animal manure must
be the principal dependence, especially
on the farm. It is, not good economy
to use fresh manure for two reasons:
One is that it contains more or less
weed seeds, and the other is that it is
not in an available condition, and
will be of little benefit until rotted
and it will Interfere more or less with
the preparation. of the soil and the
cultivation; OF the crops. When it can
be done without interfering too much
with the other work, fall is a good
time to apply manure. <.-
Unless the ground is so sloping that
it will be injured considerably by
washing during the winter, it is nearly
always best to- clear up thoroughly in
the fall after the: crops have all ma
tured and then plough deep and thor
ough. Then late in the fall Or early
WINTER, before the ground freezes too
hard to work well, have out a good
application Of manure, having it we'll
rotted and fined and scattering evenly
over the surface and then with a. good
harrow or cultivator, working we'll in
to the soil. This is better plan as
there is less loss by bleaching or evap.
GRAFTON with the manure worked we'll
into the soil, than if left on the sur
face. Ordinarily there is little risk OF
getting the soil too rich in the garden,
SO that a good application can nearly
always be given with benefit; and by
spring good per cent. OF the soluble
portions will be taken up and retain
ed by the soil in condition to be used
by the growing plants, much more SO
than will be done if the manure IS not
applied until in the spring and with
garden crops it is quite an item to
have the manure worked thoroughly
into thesoil.
See to the Farm Implements.
Now~the working OF farm crops are
over the implements should all be
collected and put under shelter. One
month Of exposure now is worse and
will do einjury to farm tools than
three in winter. Decay takes place
faster now than in winter, as the
change of temperature and other con-
,ditions are not so great or frequent in
winter. It is not ut all times con.
venient for the farmer to care for
farm tools at the proper time, and
the time spent in taking care Of them
might sometimes be more valuable
than the loss by exposure, but this is
the exception not The rule. Not only
is there a loss by exposure, but many
times these implements are unexpect
edly needed and are to be hunted up
which consumes valuable time, and
when found are in a poor condition
for use.
Collect them all up and see thai
they are properly arranged, the parts

Skill In Feeding.

There is much in a. farmer knowing
when a pig is we'll led. It is very con-
venient to have a pig fed in such a
way that it will not gorge itself, al
though feed is lying by it all the time.
But we are satisfied that there is no
profit in this sort Inconvenience. The
hog gets tired OF so much sameness;
food always at the nose becomes stale.
If fresh at every feeding, and appetite
prompts, it is eaten with relish. It
requires much practice and skill on
the part of a farmer to know when a
hog has the correct ration The most
successful feeder we know notes the
changes in the weather and it's influence
on the appetite, and portions out the
feed accordingly: On a rising tenn
perature the ration is decreased, and
vice versa. Failing to do this his hogs
have cloyed when the temperature
ran high, causing a loss Of thrift and
gain for a few days. This should al
ways be guarded against National
StOckman and Farmer.
Charcoal in the Poultry Yard. .
"When freely used in the poultry
yard, charcoal is of great value. If
ground or pounded fine and fed to
the fowls in their soft food" says
one who has had experience. sit ma
terially aids digestion and cleanses-
the system of impurities. AS it acts
upon the blood, it acts upon the life
of the fowl. When the blood is thick
and clotty, a dull, sick chicken will
soon follow. Thin blood, always
means vigorous circulation and on
good circulation OF the blood health
largely depends. If your fowls lack
activity they need something to, stir
the blood from it's sluggishness. We
have every confidence in charcoal,
and advise the farmer to barrel some
for feeding to his:poultry. Keepit in
a dry place, and, when needed, grind
or pound fine and miN>with soft food"

SupersensltiveDess

A person who has not done anything
to distinguish himself is generally not
allowed queer habits. Eccentricity is
not for common people. But for Wash
ington Allston. one of Americas most
noted painters, all things were right
His excessive sensitiveness was shown
in many ways
When India rubber overshoes began
to be worn ne was induced to purchase
pair for his health's sake, but he could
never put them on or remove them ex
cept with a pair of tongs.
But that salnp delicate sensitiveness
showed itself in another way. His
scrupulous conscience was illustrated
by an incident occurring in 1916, when
he was in urgent need of money
He had just found purchaser for
one of his pictures, but thinking the
matter over alone in the evening he
concluded that the subject Of the paint
ing was such that at some time it might
have an immoral effect on some per
verted imagination.
He Immediately went to his patrons
house, paid back the money. took the
picture home and burned it.
This was sensitiveness worth having.

Though eDicureans will say warm

but now Long Island is the most north

ten miles to the town of Damaris-
Gotta, where there was an Indian
mound. The latter found made up
entirely of oyster shells of remarkable
size. piled one upon another for fifteen

This showed that several hundred
years ago the coast abounded in fine
oysters. which had been carried up the
river year after year until the pile of
shells had reached the proportions of a
hill. In it l found charred deer bones

ments. That the Indian had exter-
minated the oyster is improbable, and
