He Was n Changed Being.

Alfred had hopes, but Charlie had the
girl.
This of course was unknown to AL
fred or he never would have proposed to
her.
at least it is fair to suppose that he
would not have done so, notwithstand-
ing there have been recorded several in
stances of that species of emotional idi-
ocy.
In any event Alfred proposed.
Naturally the girl said "no," because it
was not in the summer time and two
engagements at once would have been
bad form, and furthermore she was not
stuck on Alfred a little bit.
So she responded no, and was about to
say something else when Alfred held up
his hands appealingly.
Il beg of you" he pleaded, "not to
say you will be a sister to me-"
She drew herself up haughtily.
81 had not intended doing So" she
said coldly. "Charlie isn't very partic-
ular as to what kind of brothers,in-law
he has, but we have to draw the line
somewhere"
From that moment Alfred was a
changed being.-Detroit Free Press.

ROSAL1ND MAILER AS PRINCE METAYA.
Rosalind dances like fairy, as the say
ing is, and during each year of her brief
existence since she was two years old she
has danced in the parlors of well known
society people in all parts of the United
States She never dances for money. Her
work is always either for charity or to
give JOY to others without the payment of
the mighty dollar. AS might be supposed,
the little ones proclivities are for the stage,
but to this her parents vigorously object
During the past year Rosalind's favoritc
song hns been one of the wang" melodies.
She has the costume of Prince Metaya
and initiates Della Fox to perfection. Miss
Fox learned her first stage dancing of Mr.
Mailer, aud although but n baby at the
time little Rosalind would take the steps
in imitation of Miss Fox, and would follow
her delightedly all through the dancing
lesson. Several times while away mt some
fashionable summer or winter resort, Ro-
salind has drilled n company of children
so that they could sing the baby Song"
from wang" very creditably. When
her work was completed, the youthful in-
structor would herself learn n new fancy
dance. And then, to give variety to the
performance, she would play and sing.

Now that Lord Dunraven has issued
challenge for an international yacht race
yachtsmen expect that the contest for the
Americas cup will be one of the most in

yacht America first captured the cup away
back in 1851. The last race was between
the Yankee Volunteer and the Scotch

WILLIAM SULLY.

Keeping afloat merely is the least of
Sully's troubles. He not only does that
when he is securely tied up. but he per-
forms numerous tricks and generally
proves himself one of the most remarkable
swimmers the world has ever seen.
When be plunges into the water unfet-
tered he gives an exhibition of aquatic
marvels that would make Leander, of
Hero and Hellespont fame, turn green
as sea water with envy if he could only

Swimmer sully's Remarkable Feat.

1t is difficult enough for most people to
keep afloat by the vigorous use of both arms
and legs in the water. but William Sully
of London, is such an expert swimmer that
he could get along very we'll if some one
were to tie him hand and foot and throw
him overheard to drown. Sully would
surely catch his enemies mapping, for he
thinks nothing of taking dive when his
limbs are securely bound.

APPLYING MANURE.
How TO Secure the Best Results from
Meadows and Pastures.

How TO secure the Best Results from
Meadows and Pastures.
During the latter part of the fall and
early winter is one Of the best seasons
for applying manure to grass lands.
There are perhaps two advantages in
this; one is that during the winter the
rain and melting show will aid materi.
ally TO carry the soluble portions into
the soil in a condition to be used by the
growing plants, and the other S that
the coarser or insoluble portions that
remain on the surface win act as a
mulch and help materially to prevent
injury by thawing and freezing 1t is
often the case that both the meadows
and pastures are cropped So close that
the plants are injured very seriously
by the thawing and freezing.
Ono of the best plans Of manuring is
by applying on the grass lands. OF
course where this is done a regular svs-
tenn Of rotation should lie followed I'D.
At the same time with good manage
ment and proper manuring land may
be kept in grass for several years with
out "a change
With both meadows and pastures. 10y
keeping the soil rich a better growth
can be secured, and this implies the
keeping Of more stock and the making
e more manure
If manure is applied early to grass, it
viii work down on the soil so that it
viii not interfere with the growth of
the grass the next spring. However,
if applied in large Jumps some damage
may be done to the plants by smother
ing them. BY little care in spread
ing, SO that it will be scattered evenly
over the surface, this may be avoided.
Of course care must be taken not to
haul out when the soil is soft as consid-
cradle damage win be done in this
way. But there will be plenty of OPP
portunity for hauling out manure dur
ing the winter onto the meadows and
pastures, when no injury will be done
by manuring and the soil is in good
condition to derive the benefit from
the application. The finerthe manure,
and the more evenly it is spread, the
better will be the results secured.-N.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

If a COW leaks her milk, get rid Of
her.
NEVER change a cows food suddenly.
Do it by degrees.
il the COW is not what she ought to
be, success in the dairy is impossible.
SOME cows are very hard to milk.
They are nuisance. Get rid of them.
A cow that is not a profitable milk
producer is burden on the pocket
book.
Will You warm the water for the
cows this coming winter? 1t win pay
you to do SO.
A COOP COW ought to have a capacious
body, with plenty Of room for the work
of the organs.
a cow that is thin skinned and whose
skin does not move easily over the ribs,
is not good cow to select
If farmers would be more careful
about selecting cows that are profita-
bic producers, they would often have
more money. Farmers Voice.

A Point That Is Not as Clearly Under
stood as 1t should lie.
In cutting hay and fodder the length
Of cut is of considerable Importance
If the cut feed is to be wet and meal
mixed with it, the shorter it is cut the
better, fodder particularly, for it will
take up the water more readily and
become softer and more digestible as
welt as more palatable. If it is to be
fed dry then it may be cut in lengths Of
an inch and one-half to two inches
this length being better than a shorter
enc for fodder, because the cows viii
not get their mouths sore on account Of
the hard pieces of stalk cutting their
gums when they get the pieces upright
between their Jaws.
When the fodder is cut short and wet
and softeued this objection does not
apply. The English farmers speak Of
Chilling instead Of cutting their hay,
and il we can get hay and fodder into
the condition Of chat as regards fine
ness it win be to our advantage The
only objection to be made to this short
cutting is the time it takes to do it, bat

in winter Finely cut hay, fodder and
straw can be better mixed together
than when cut long, and by mixing
them we can sometimes feed to better
advantage than to feed separately.
We have found when we have cut a
large quantity of corn fodder at one
time that it soon lost its sweet smell,
and unless it was thoroughly dry would,
if piled in large heaps, heat up and be-
come musty. We finally adopted the
plan of mixing the cut fodder with cut
hay or straw as soon as possible after
cutting it, and it then kept in good con-
dition. Cutting fodder pays, not only
by making it more convenient to feed,
but having the manure in such fine
condition to handle, there being no
long, tough stalks to bother. This is
quite an item where large quantities of
fodder are used and the manure is
drawn out in the field in winter to be
used on spring crops -Colman's Rural
World.

keeping stock thrifty is that a better
advantage can be taken Of The marlEe3
than in any other way Yet. at the

plan TO feed to a certain season being

time and lat the lowest cost.
Each feeder must in great measure
determine the ration that he can most
economically supply, as with one some
materials may be used that with others
would prove too costly. The feeding
must be done regularly, literally and
systematically, working to accomplish
the end in view in an economical bust
ness-like manner.
But to all of this must be added stock
capable, under the treatment outlined,
Of producing something rather above

that the largest results are profitable.
