BLEW UP HIS OWN COTTAGE.
ne Was. Only q french soidisS, nut Bs
He ODeysd Orders

The story Is told In a French news
paper of Pierre Barlat, a poor laborer
who lived at Sevres, near Paris, with
his wife, Jeanne, and their three chill
dren. Industrious, frugal, knowing
nothing OF the way TO the wine shop,
Pierre saved all his spare money,
working harder and harder, and at
last bought the tiny cottage in which
they lived. 1t was tiny cottage, in
deed-built OF stones, with tiled
roof, standing amid shrubs and COW
cred with clemaJis 1t always at
tracted the eye of the traveller, on the
lefts as he crossed the Sevres bridge.
Pierre and Jeanee worked and
saved until the little cottage was paid
for, and made feast when it was all
done to celebrate their ownership. A
not mind an occasional expenditure
TO entertain his friends.
All this Pierre and Jeanne had ac-
complished just before the war of
1870, with Germany, broke out. The
conscription fell upon Bierre, who.
moreover. was an old soldier, and be-
longed TO the reserves. A gunner he
had been, famous for skill in hitting
a mark with shell.
SevreS had fallen into the hands of
the Germans but the French guns
were pounding away at them from
the fort on Mount Valerian. Pierre
Barlat was gunner at that fort, and,
one wintcy dav, was standing by his
gun, when Gen. Noel the Com
mander. came up and leyeled his
field glass at the Sevres bridge.
Gunner" he SAID sharply, without
looking at Pierre.
General" answered Pierre, re-
spectfully saluting.
"Do you see the Sevres bridge over
there?"
Il see it very we'll. SIR"
"And that little cottage there, at
the left in thicket of shrubs?"
Pierre turned pale.
81 see it, sir
Its nest OF Prussians. Try IT
with shell, my man"
Pierre turned paler still and in spite
OF the cold wind that made the OFF,
GERS shiver in their great coats one
might have seen big drops of sweat
standing out on his forehead; but no
body noticed the gunner's emotion.
He sighted his piece carefully, de-
liberately; then fired.
The officers, with their glasses,
marked the effect of the shot after
the smoke had cleared. "Well hit,
my man. well hit" exclaimed the
General, looking at Pierre with a
smile. "rhe cottage couldn't have
been very solid. 1t is completely
smashed"
lie was surprised 20 see great tears
running down the gunner's cheeks.
What's the matter, MANI" the
General asked rather sharply.
Pardon me, General" said Pierre,
recovering himself. 1T was my
house-evcrything i had in the
world"

Women and Marriage.

To most women marriage is a haven
of rest where they will be free from
worry and care. But there are two
cares in matrimony where there is one
in the single life. If the wife accepts
these gracefully, she is stimulus to
her husband; If she complains and
worries, the husband is generally
what his wife makes him, and there
is nothing that so units a man for
his business life as a discontented
wife at home. Wives should bear
this in mind. 1t costs little to be
cheerful, and the gains to be received
arc far in excess of the actual outlay.

VIII MIX Thirty Cows an Hour,

There has been received at the
Chicago Custom House a machine
which, 1t is claimed. will do away
with that useful adjunct to every well
regulated farm, the farm hand who
milks the cows The apparatus was
imported from Glasgow, Scotland.
This machine, it is claimed, will milk
thirty cows in one hour, and do it so
easily and neatly that the cows will
scarcely know it. The machine is
constructed on the vacuum principle,
and when adjusted to the COW the
milk flows in a continuous stream,
and the machine does the work with
out assistance. The apparatus re-
ceived is said to be the first one ever
brought TO this country, and its use
will be in the nature of an experiment
at first The contrivance is largely
used in Scotland, and it's practicable
~ has been long ago demonstrated.
The great objection to the machine
by farmers will probably be its price
This one is valued at S55 in Scotland,
but the duties paid upon it added
$45, making the total cost 500. The
appraisers had considerable difficulty
in finding duty which would apply,
no machines Of the kind having ever
been received at that port.

Dairy Notes.

WHITEwAsH in the COW stable
makes things look cheerful and is in
the direction of cleanliness.
HAVE the cows before you build
the factory. You can add to that as
the number of cows or the quantity
Of milk increases.
ALWAYS be suspicious Of COW the
progressive dairyman desires to sell.
He knows the value of good COW and
never turns her off without a reason
THE man that breeds and feeds
farm animals nearly always makes
money. 1t is when the animals breed
or feed themselves, or both, that they
are unprOtltable.
LOOK out for the creamery shark.
Don't let him bite you. Sign no pa
per5, make no contracts for building
and equipment till you have esti-
mates from two or more creamery
supply houses.
"WILL cow lose 20 pounds in
weight by making too sudden Il
change TO green grass? Yes, sir.
Would fair share of this weight go
TO milk or butter If she were properly
cared for? Yes sir again"
IT costs money to ill-treat a COW.
BE regular in feeding, milking and
watering, Keep everything quiet
Restlessness will shorten the milk
flow. 1t is the best plan to keep the
cows in the stable from fall till
spring, arranging the stables so that
they can have access to water at all
times.

Locating an ApIary.

In beginning Bookkeeping the loca-
tfon is one of the most important
things TO be considered. AS bees ascend
with difficulty when heavily laden. it
would be better to have the apiary
located in a valley, that after obtain
ing load OF stores on the neighbor-
ing hills, they may, rs they return
with their load, lave a descending
flight Low ground is also better
protected from high winds Learn
which are the best hOney-yielding
plants and trees und try if possible
to locate within reach of reliable
pasturage. While bees will go three
or four miles If Necessary, the best
results are obtained, as a rule. by hav-
Ing an abundant pasturage within at
least two miles Look we'll TO the
immediate surroundings A location
near ponds or laIge bodies of water is
not generally desirable. Bees become
fatigued while On the wing, especially
when flying against the wind, and by
dropping into the water often become
chilled and drown. 1t is great ad-
vantage to have a strip of timber on
the windward ride Of the apiary, to
shelter hives from cold, heavy winds.
If no natural protection is afforded,
a close high board fence should be
put up for this purpose. When the
hives are not protected from the
wind, the beES when returning with
heavy loads ere frequently unable to
strike the hive, are blown to the
ground, become chilled and die. II
one is located where there is little
natural pasturage for bees, much can
be done TO improve such locality by
furnishing sTtitcial pasturage. Field

Better Than a Horse For-,s.

A handy homemade 'contrivance
which will assist greatly at the un-
loading of hay during the busy after
moons of haying time, is nothing more
nor less than two inch ropes each ten
feet long. A strong ring must be
spliced in each end Of each rope.
Previous to putting on the load in
the field, these ropes must be laid,
one across the forward end and the
other halfway between the middle
and back end of the rigging. The
ropes are allowed to hang loosely out
side Of the rigging. On driving the
load into the barn, the rings on the
side next the NOW where the hay is
to be placed, arc caught in two heavy
hooks in the side of the hay. Ropes

Mourning CoIova

Black is the almost universal
mourning color in Europe, but there
are few exceptions For instance,
in Russia black is never used for COW
ering coflins, the cloth being of pink
shade when the deceased is child or
young person, crimson color for wo-
men, and brown for widows. Italians
do not use black cloth, white being
used in the case of a child and purple
velvet in the case of adults.

signed merely 20 protect the hoof, and
the lighter IL can be made and still
serve its purpose, the better for the
horse. Horses that are devoted 8
farm work, and on land where there
are few or no stones, may dispense
with shoes, except while the ground
is frozen. Tins would be of great ad :
vantage 10 the horse, TO say nothing
OF the saving in the horseshoer's bill.
But most horses require shoeing, and
the shoes worn are generally heavy
iron ones. Steel shoes can he made
lighter, will wear longer, and the
first cost is not so much more that it
need prevent their being used. Light
horses and driving horses should al
ways wear them. For horses of l, 100
pounds weight, and with wel-shaped,
upright feet the fore shoes should
weigh about one pound each, and the
hind ones twelve ounces II four
ounces are added to each shoe, let us
see what difference il will make.
In plowing, cultivating, moving,
reaping and many other farm opera
tions, horse will walk from ten to
twenty miles day, and advance at
about four feet at step At each
step the horse lifts half pound extra
on its two feet or 800 pounds in every
mile. In a days work OF fifteen
miles, the horse would lift 5000
pounds extra or nearly five tons. If
the force required to lift this five
tons Of iron could De expended in the
work the horse is doing, much more
could he accomplished. In the light
Of these facts, is it any wonder that
when young horses begin to wear
shoes, they soon grow leg-weary, have
their step shortened and acquire a
slower walking gait?-American Ag-

the NOW are next loosened and car
ried over the load and attached by
hooks to the rings on the other side of
the load. Two strong men can readily
roll the load off the rigging and into
the NOW if it be on level with the
rigging or below it. If the load he
especially heavy, a second block will
be necessary to aid the men. Bank

necessities, that TO their families life
is anything but bright. Or they may
live on the frontier far from church,
schools or towns, and thus be deprived
of many privileges. But given a good

more frequent cultivation is advant-

wet season it is possible to give too
much. During last season, which
was wet one, IL was found that four
times cultivation produced best re-

season it is supposed that the occas-
ional stirring OF the soil whereby it is
loosened and becomes aerated, IL not
only takes moisture from the atmos-
phere, but also absorbs therefrom
those gases that are either a direct
source Of fertilization or aid therein.
