Good Hot Weather Advice.

On these hot days bear in mind the in
junction, keep cool" There is such a
thing as keeping cool even on a warm day
cool in mind if not in body-restful of
soul, of nerves and of heart.
1t is wonderful how much cooler man
is who is contented, and who is peaceful,
calm and of a happy disposition, than one
who is fretful, wearisome and fOrlOrn.
Nature prescribes for ones comfort in
these hot periods, and her prescription is
not to eat much heating food, nor to drink
too much cooling liquors, and none at all of
intoXicants, no matter how grateful they
may seem to be as they come from the ice.
Better drink refreshing fruit acid prep
aration like lemonade or raspberry sherbet.
Drink milk at its natural temperature,
and not ice cold.
Perhaps the most refreshing summer
drink is glass of greatly diluted tea, iced,
and favored with a slice of lemon. But
termilk is good drink in hot weather
but everything that the system Graves
should be drunk with moderation and
slowly Another refreshing suggestion is
a cool sponge bath in the morning, and a
second at night But be moderate in all
things. If you cannot go to the seaside,
take all the cool air you can get at home
take it as cool as you can get it, and keel
it cool as long as you can.-MdU and Err

Gnod Feeding vs. High Feeding.

A fat dairy COW is not what the dairy
man is after, writes a correspondent of the
American Cultivator. If the COW keeps
in good health it is to his interest to feed
her only so much as will be turned into
milk and butter and support life easily.
High feeding beyond the normal then pro-
duces waste for the dairyman. Much OF it
is turned into useless fat, which can only
be realized on by selling the animal to the
butcher. There is another harm frequent
" resulting from too high feeding. The
system becomes so highly taxed that the
digestive apparatus is injured and soon be-
comes unable to perform its work properly.
Much of the food is then cast into the
blood improperly, and it is distributed over
the whole system. The blood becomes
poor, hot and feverish, and other organs
are gradually clogged up. The animal is
very susceptible to disease when in such
condition, and during hot weather they
show signs of fever and lassitude. In fact,
high-bred animals have become sick and
weak simply through continued forcing or
concentrated food, and they recover their
normal strength only when their sickness
deprives their system of the strain which
the food caused.
The true method is to adopt good feed
ing. Some breeders who know the exact
influence of every pound of food upon their
cattle can afford to practice high feeding,
but the average farmer and dairyman
should limit himself to the more cOnserva-
tive line Good feeding is the happy me-
dunn between forcing and neglect. 1t
consists of good food properly concentrated
and mixed, and fed in amounts which will
keep the animal up to its highest normal
mark, and not OvertaX the producing
powers. This will not clog up the system,
nor force plenty of milk and cream from
her this season and nearly ruin her for
next. 1t will also keep the cows in such
excellent condition through the heated
term that sickness and fever will seldom
reduce their milk supply.

Editor Of The PhGnir:

your readers who are potato growers. No
true blight has been seen as yet, but iudg-
ing from experience of past years it may

disease until the middle of August and lat

moist hot weather as to when the disease
appears this year. Spraying the vines
with Bordeaux mixture will surely keep
off the disease if done thoroughly and in
season. We found last summer that a
thorough application made at the time of
the first appearance of the disease check
ed its further development. But upon
ground especially liable to the disease the
safer way by far is to spray at once, NOW,

The mixture for this first application
can be made rather weak, five pounds blue
vitriol and five pounds of freshly Stacked
lime to 80 gallons Zone barreD of water.
Dissolve the vitrol in clean wooden tub
or barrel, keeping out all dirt. Slack the
lime in another vessel; then, after adding
water enough to make a thin whitewash,
strain this into the vitriol solution, so as
not to add any Jumps of lime. Stir thor
oughly and it is ready to use. Add paris
green for the bugs if needed.
This application will protect the vines
10 days or two weeks of ordinary weather,
and | would not advise a second appica-
ton until some signs of the disease are
seen. If, however, the blight begins to
show by the middle of August or later, do
not delay but make a second application at
once, using the same strength mixture
freely, or if the disease is spreading badly
use II pounds of blue vitriol and eight
pounds of lime to a barrel of water. \
third application of the weaker form of
the mixture may be needed on late pota-
toes in September, depending, of course,
upon the condition of the plants and the
prevalence of the disease.
For further information send to the eX-
pertinent station for bulletins concerning
potato blight and rot. All bulletins are

One Divine Right of Children.

As to keeping children too clean for any
mortal use, l don't suppose anything is
more disastrous. The divine right to be
gloriously dirty a large portion of the time
when dirt is a necessary consequence of
direct, useful, friendly contact with all
sorts of interesting, helpful things, is too
clear TO be denied. The children who have
to think of their clothes before playing with
the dogs, digging in the sand, helping the
stabeman, working in the she'd building a
bridge, or wedding the garden, never get
half their legitimate enjoyment out of life.
Thrice happy is the country child, or the
one who can spend part of his young
life among living things, near to Natures
heart. How blessed is the little toddling
thing, who can lie fiat in the sunshine and
drink in the beauty of the "green things
growing" who can live among the little
animals, his brothers and sisters in feathers
and fur; who can put his hand in that of
dear mother Nature and learn his first baby
lessons without any meddesome middle
man who is Graded in sweet sounds 'from
early morn to dewy eve;' lulled to his
morning nap by hum of crickets and bees,
and to his nights slumber by the signing
of the wind the splash of waves, or the
ripple of a river. He is a part of the
"shining web of creation" learning to
spell out the universe letter by letter, as he
grows sweetly, serenely, into knowledge
of its laws.-Kdte Douglas Wiggm in

Without taking long journey by land
and water, it is possible for the Wisconsin
lover of the picturesque to visit as thriving
a Swiss village as can be found either in
the old country or this. Down in Green
county, on the banks of the Little Sugar
river is little settlement of some 600
souls, where all the customs. habits, and
traditions of Switzerland are tenderly
cherished. The stir of the outside world
rarely penetrates this little village of New
Glarus, in spite of the fact that it is the
terminus OF Il branch OF Il great railroad
and that the telegraph wires are linking it
with modern lite and molern thought.
New Glarus was settlel 10y emigrdnts
from the canton of Glarus, a wild and
mountainous part OF Switzerland. The
country was too densely populated and
there was a great scarcity OF employment,
and consequently the necessal'eS of life.
At last the scheme of an organized emigra-
ton under the care OF the government was
taken up, and in March, lo45, Judge Mich
Olas Duerst aged fOrty-eight, and EndOlin
Streitf, a blacksmith, were sent out to look
for new home. They departed with
elaborate instructions as to the disposal of
the funds placed in their hands and the
purchase of the new home, which was to
climate, soil, and general characteristics.
From the diary kept by Duerst during the
trip las per Instructions one may follow
the travels of these two Swiss gentlemen
until on July II of the same year they de-
cided to buy 1900 acres of lanl near Exeter,
Green county.
The old-time simple, generous, and gen
uine hospitality is still practiced. The
XpripSt Yuispr aInouu the Swiss of Nov
Glarus would be ashamed to have 1t said
that he was inhoSpitable. The homely,
hearty manners towards each other and to
strangers show the kindly spirit of the
people. Not but what they are good haters,
when wronged or affronted; real or fan
cled injury often causes a GOODNESS which
lasts through life. The people are intensely
proud of their home. TO the Swiss-Amer-
lean the grand distances, the great OppOr-
tunties, the liberal thought, and the public
institutions of this country seem 10y COM
parisOn to make the conditions of life in
the old home appear narrow, mean, and
unbearable. As some have expressed it,
there seems to be hardly room there to
breathe. Yet the love for the old home
and its heroic history cannot be eXtinguish-
ed, and next to being Americans the pride
of a Swiss is to be a Swiss. How long the
Swiss community at New Glarus will re-
main distinctive as now cannot be foretod;
but judging from the history of colonies of
German-speaking people in some of the
older states, it will be safe to predict that
the Swiss dialect will exist and be spoken
here two hundred years hence, and that
the people then living will bear the stamp
of the early influence.
