SEVERAL correspondents have Incl
dentally said recently that they are
warming the water, this winter, for
their cows are pleased with the result.
We are not surprised.
EVERY pound of oleomargarine that is
sold takes the place of pound of gem
uine butter, and for that reason,
If for no other, hotels, and board
ing-houses should be forbidden by law,
to feed it TO their patrons without knowl-
edge.
ONCE in awhile, and oftener, somebody
gives the public the benefit Of his belief
about abortion in the herd, and when we
get through reading 1t, we know just as
much as we did before.
THE butterine makers kick like ebay
steer" at the idea of preventing them by
legislation, from examining their dirty
products down the throats OF those who
eat at public eating houses, but they
must be made TO be decent.
THE practice of the golden rule toward
the herd is just as important as its prac-
tice toward our fellowmen. Do unto the
cow as you would be done by, il you were
in her place, is about all there is to the
proper management of the herd.
ONE of the leading live stock papers of
the West tells IL readers, says an ex-
change, that stunted calves will certainly
make, as far as appearance goes, scrub"
animals, and that this will be the case
without the slightest regard to the breed
which they represent or to the quality of
their breeding. This Is sound doctrine
which all live stock owners will do well
TO heed. BY good care and skillful feed
ing they can improve the appearance and
increase the value OF low grade of
stock at its present degree of excellence

A great religious service that recently
took place in Calcutta is thus described
1.-Two hundred thousand persons took
part in the service. Ralahs, zemindars,
merchants, shopkeepers, pleaders. pro-
fessors, graduates. and doctors were
present, and the Hindoo ladies tasted
Three hundred Brahmins conducted
the services, chanting the Vedas. Ten
thousand homas were performed for the
protection of religion, thousands sang
the hymns, and shouts and horrible
sounds rent the air, the people seeming
mad. Many of them swooned, and one
devotee offered his neck, but we pre-
vented. --Ne,O York Tribune.

In many houses the cause OF poor
bread can be traced to the bread being
set to raise where draught from door
will strike 1t, or insufficient steady
warmth. In bakery all this is guarded
against. the raising groom never being al.
lowed below certain temperature.

by fowls, that are properly cared for.
The natural result is that their drop
pings contain more valuable food ele-
ments than any other manure made upon
the place. / have never realized this Sc
forclbly as during the past season when

commercial fertilizer. The fact that the
poultry manure gave better satisfaction
than the artificial compound was prob
ably due TO the care which had been
taken to properly preserve it. believe
II Is an exception to the general rule
when proper care is given to this dress
ing by farmers. 1t is either allowed to
collect in heaps under the roosts, where
1t may remain for months rendering the
air impure, or IL is thrown out of doors
to be wasted by rains, and its nitrogen
(the specially strong and valuable point
In this fertilizer) dissipated in the air.
My own method Is to remove the drop
pings frequently from the pens and place
them in barrels, with a generous supply
OF dry absorbent, such as road dust, but
never wood ashes or lime. Such a plan
involves rather more labor perhaps than
most farmers would think they could
give to the matter, and so am of the OPP
inion that the verv best general plan
that can be adopted is to clean out the
pens thoroughly, and then cover the floor
to the depth of at least six inches with
perfectly dry road dust, which can al
ways be obtained during n dry time in
the summer, fall, and spring All the
droppings that fall into this dust will be

absorbed by the constant scratching
over the whole room, particularly If oats
and wheat are thrown down occasion
ally. BY this arrangement there will be
no heaps formed beneath the roosts, be-
cause the scratching of the fowls will
level all, and keep an even mixture over
the whole floor.
The finest dust will ill every crack and
Granny, and provide bath each day for
the fowls, so that vermin will be un-
known. In this way l think the pens
need not be cleaned out more than twice
year-in the fall and spring. The
manure laden dust will be found to be
most excellent dressing, and it will have
the merit of not being so concentrated in
this form, and so will not be likely to be
injudiciously used as frequently happens
with the undiluted article, and yet not
particle of its value will be lost, while
the pens will be kept sweet throughout
the year, and the fowls kept free from
the common pest of vermin. Care should
be taken If this plan is followed that the
drinking water is not spilled, for when
road dust under cover becomes wet, IL
dries very slowly, and dampness in the
poultry house is especially to be avoided.

HOW PEOPLE SAY COOLEY.

Observations on tho Subject from Trav-

when I'm on the road, said trav-

make study of the different manners
in which different people bid their
friends good-by. A business man comes
on the car with his wife, gets a seat for
her, puts her bundles in the rack,
presses her hand, and perchance gives
her matter of fact kiss and is gone,
and the whole has been done so quietly
that no one has taken any notice of it. A
young lady accompanies her young lady
friend to the train. After going from
one end of the car to the other and
back again they find seat that will
answer. The young lady is going up
the road ten miles and viii be gone till
the next day. We'll, good-by, ILL.,

says the other. 4 wish you were going
with me- oh, so do l. We'll, good

'Good-by.' And thus they go on as long
as the train will wait for them.
''Then there is the lovers good-by. 1t
is very different from any other. In
many good-bys there is much more said
than is meant, but the lovers mean much
more than they say. The sly look that
flashes from eye to eye has a whole world
of meaning in it for them. And the
good-by clasp of their hands telegraphs
whole volumes of affection from heart
to heart. And when they kiss-well,
there isn't person in the car but would
like to steal taste of their bliss And
sometimes there are amusing things
occur in the hurry attending the good

The Poets of Ireland.

No critic has yet given Us scientific
analysis of Irish genius, but there are
certain features of it which all recog-
nize as distinctive-as peculiarly Irish.
The most marked of these, perhaps, is
the delicate subtlety of the language
used in expressing the emotions
Through all the ages this has been noted
No matter whether the poet or orator
was keltic or Norman, Dane or Saxon,
if only his family had been in Ireland
long enough, his illusions showed the
same exquisite perception of the delicate
shades of meaning in all words expressive
of sorrow or love, anger, humor or
hatred, devotion or patriotism. Is it in
the air or the scenery?
The verses of Tom Moore. Oliver Gold
smith, DR.. Maginn, Charles Lover and
many others might be cited in this con-
nection.
These are but specimens of the most
cultured Irish poets. but the great point
of interest in this connection is the enor-
nous mass of poetry and song floating
among the common people And this
has distinguished Ireland from the ear
lest times. The Druids and the bards.
the early Christian missionaries and later
heroes, even the transplanted Danes,
Normans, Scotchmen. Saxons, all were
poetic after their kinds. and in many sec
tons of Ireland the trained ear often de-
tects a sort of rhythm in the common
speech of the peasantry. To sketch ever
so briefly the writers of popular Irish
songs in recent times would simply be
to write book. And the supply is ap-
parently without limit, the music as
sweet, the language as tender, as deli
cately shaded as ever. No popular move
ment Is without its poets; no corner of
ireland but enjoys many local ballads
Yet, 1t must be in the air
