It has established ITSELF in her affections
by sucking. The COW should be fed
literally, but not principally with grain.
Succulent foods like good, mature corn
fodder, clover and the like are best.
Feed grain sparingly at the start, and
later on rely upon it to hold up the milk
yield aud sustain it. Keep the grain for
the reserve force.
Begin to stable early. Do not try to
make the COW used to cold so as to stand
it better, but protect her against it.
Cold, frost, and chilling rains, aud winds
are not promoters of milk flow, but each
and all are antagonistic to it. When the
nights begin to get frosty stable the milk
ers and keep them warm, and on chilly,
rainy days it is better to keep them in,
too, and feed them inside the stable.
BY the first of December, at the latest,
aud earlier IL the weather is wintry, be-
gin the winter stabling and feeding, aud
get the cows on uniform rations, pre-
pared to keep them in for ninety days if
need be.
Have all the feed and rations handy.
A COW wants to eat with regularity, and
not wait for the owner to hitch up and
draw iu load of fodder from distant
field. Milk at regular hours, aud feed
as regularly, and as soon as done milk
ing. Do not get into the habit of hiring
your cows to give milk. Reverse the
plan, aud reward them for tn sir milk
with a generous feeding. Then they
can take time to eat, ruminate, digest
and assimilate their food between milk
lngs. Give the main part OF the food at
two meals. The plan Of feeding little
and often is Objectionable, but a light
feed of hay at noon, il silage is fed, is OF
advantage. Grain should be fed with
the rougher food, then it is not only well
masticated but better mixed and pre-
pared for digestion.
Make the COW comfortable in her stall.
Give her room aud freedom Of motion.
Use bedding freely, and use absorbents
literally in the cutters, so that all the
fluids will be taken up, and slop pre-
vented. Use land plaster to absorb am
mona, and next to it roa1 dust is
valuable. If one insists on exercise for
the mixers, they may be turned out in
the middle of the day, and driven about
the yard few times to be sure that they
take it. Cows in milk are very forgettul
in this respect. Only turn out on sunny,
warm days, and not to exceed two
hours. Have water in the stable as well
as in the yard. An iron tank with cover
in the stable, fed from the well, will
give water of about fifty degrees, which
is warm enough for the COWS. Have the
stable warm, light, dry, fairly ventilated,
and cleaned out twice per day. Have
the managers and boxes kept sweet and
clean by washing them occasionally with
hot water. Be gentleman among your
cows; they appreciate politeness, aud in
return will make winter dairying pay

One of the largest pearl-6shing
grounds in the world is the Gulf Of
California. The pearls are not gen
orally regular in shape or very pure
IN color, but some are Of large size,
nd many Of the rare black pearls are
found. The divers are Indians, and
their equipment is of the simplest
kind, consisting only Of a basket
hung around the neck, in which to
collect the oysters, knife to detach
them from the rocks, and a stone
with a cord attached. When a diver
goes down he takes the cord between
bis toes, the weight of the stone
carrying him at once to the bottom.
He gathers oysters as long as his
breath holds out, then rises to the
surface, to descend again in fifteen
minutes. Some Of the divers are
wonderfully expert, and can remain
under water for as much as two min
utes before rising to the surface.
The mortality among them is fearful,
for the Gulf of California is infested
with huge sharks.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.

AN OBJECT LESSON IN ROAD BUILDING.
The trustees Of Cornell University at
their recent meeting took action which
promises to give important assistance TO
the movement for reform in the construc-
tion and care of country roads. A reso-
luton was adopted directing the Profes-
sor of the Civil Engineering, the
Professor of Agriculture, and the Profess
sor of Horticulture to prepare a plan for
putting the roads in the university prop
erty into the best possible condition.
The committee are to prepare estimates of
the cost of various ways of roadbuilding
and improvement, and they are advised
that it is the opinion of the board that
the different roads should not be all con-
structed on one plan, but upon the
different systems which experience else
where has proved to be worthy of trial.
One Of the most important matters in
road construction is proper drainage, and
those who deal with soils should be
competent advisers in the disposition of
surplus water.--AoD England Farmer.

A MORAL ISSUE.

The suppression Of the saloons Is moreover,
a moral issue. II is not a question Of fiscal
expediency alone. II does not appeal to
self-interest alone It's claims reach the con-
science of men and women, simply directly,
and with tremendous power. IL doas not,
before reaching the moral sense, require a
mans intellect TO grspple with.complex and
ahstruse problems OF finance or commerce.
1t contains the potency Of n great moral en-.
thusiasm, the only thing in this subluuary
planet that has ever overturned great or
ganizsd injustice entrenched in govern
mental and financial authority II strikes
at an evil that men sec and feel IL stalks
before them on the street and thrusts itself
upon their notice on the railroad car, In the
street car, anywhere and everywhere. IL
is an evil that comes close 70 men, In their
homes, among their friends. Men sec and
feel and know it, and once give to this move
ment for its extirpation a size and sweep
that give promise OF near success, and tho
nation will witness such tide OF moral en-
thusiasm, such a resstless uprising, as, we
verify believe was never before witnessed in
this American Republic. This is proven by
the extent to which this issue, in State
amendment contests. and despite the COM
bined forces OF both old-party machines and
nearly the entire daily press, has stirred the
communities to their very depths 1t is an
issue men and women will brave death for;
il is an issue some OF them have gladly died
for.-1he Voice.

Feed your horse three times daily, but
never over-feed.
Never wash horse with cold water
when he is heated.
Water before feeding, but not while
the horse is hot from work.
You will never get to the top IN horse
breeding unless you start right.
One leading cause of failure is In at
tempting to keep too many, fowls for the
space.
A few good brood mares may be the
foundation for future fortune for the
young farmer.
If good prices are obtained, it is i'm.
portant to send the poultry to market in
good condition.
Double up the teams when the roads
are bad. 1t may take little time, but
nay save good horse.
Geese and ducks should be kept in a
yard or pasture away from the well, es-
pecially the house well.
Millet seed can be used to good ad-
vantage in feeding chickens in the
brooder during the winter.
If the fowls have been kept thrifty in
the fall, it will require only short feed
to prepare them for market.
Oats scalded we'll and allowed to stand
over night will make a good. change in
the rations of the laying hens.
By scattering some of the grain among
the litter it keeps the hens at work, gives
them better appetite and keeps them
in better condition for laying.
After killing a goose, DIP it in scald-
ing water and then wrap in cloth aud
leave it for five minutes. All of the pin
feathers will then come of readily.
Clean, dry sand scattered over the hen
house fcor of the broods is one OF the
best means of keeping clean. When sand
| cannot be had, wheat bran can be used.
Keep the fowls in dry, warm place,
free from draughts, and there will be lit
tie, if any, danger of roup; dampnesi
aud draughts are the cause of this dis
ease.
Just before the early pullets begin to
lay their combs will swell and turn red
and will keep red until they become
broody. This is an aid in making selec
tions.

CARE OF MICH COWS IN WINTER.

The rapid increase Of winter dairying
has made n any changes in dairy practice
writes John Gould, an Ohio farmer. In
the first place the man whose dairy pro-
duces winter milk, may as well dismiss
from his mind at once the idea Of "mck'
entering into his business. Success de-
pends upon systematic, circulating
method from September to July follow
ing. The cows should not calye too
early. As near October 1st as possible
is best. The COW that calves four weeks
before this date, is TOO long in milk be
fore winter sets in, and has usually
dropped of from her best flow and gives
less IN the winter because Of it.
As soon as a COW drops her calf and
establishes her milk dow, extra feed
ing should commence. This must not
be oyerdone 50 as to force her at the
start, and prevent her to respond to an
increase OF milk with increased food
when she commences her stable life later
in the season. l would nct allow the

A Pet Rooster.

A Brooklyn IN. " stoorkeeper has
the satisfaction of possessing a pet Pc
culiarly his own. 1t is a rooster, whose
antics attract many people to his owners
shop. This bird is oftentimes seen on
the sidewalk playing with the children.
He will let stranger pick him up in his
arms and stroke him, and enjoys the
process with as much apparent delight
as would dog or cat. The owner OF
the bird is particularly attached to him,
and appears to be one of the proudest
men in the city, going TO and returning
from his store with the rooster following
him as would pet dog. When the
owner reaches out his hand the bird
jumps up to peck at 1t, and altogether
they attract good deal of attention.

Bride. who Perch in Trees.

Among the Lolos Of Western China
II is customary for the bride on the
wedding morning to perch herself on
the highest branch OF a large tree,
while the elder female members of
her family cluster on the lower limbs,
armed with sticks. When all are
duly stationed, the bridegroom clam
bers up the tree, assailed on all sides
by blows, pushes and pinches from
the dowagers, and 1t is not until he
has broken through their fence and
captured the bride that he is allowed
to carry her off.
Similar difficulties assail the BRIDE
groom among the MoEgolian Koraks,
who are in the habit Of celebrating
their marriages in large tents, divided
into numerous separate but communi-
eating compartments. At a given
signal, as soon as the guests are as
sembled, the bride starts off through
the compartments, followed by her
wooer, while the women Of the en-
campment throw every possible inn
pediment in his way, tripping up his
unwary feet, holding down the cur
tains TO prevent his passage, and
applying the willow aud alder switch
es numerically as he stoops to raise
them. AS with the maiden on the
tree top, the Korak bride is invaria-
bly, captured, however much the pos
sibilities of escape may be in her

A Restaurant Joke.

George Parker, who was well known
amoug the London Thespian corps, went
into res tauraut and, being very hungry,
called for three mutton chops, but while
they were dressing fell fast asleep. The
waiter brought them, laid them before
him, but, in the hurry Of business, never
stopped to wake him. An actor, who
had not had a dinner that day, came in
aud, thinking it pity that the meat
should get cold, sat down opposite
George, took his knife and fork aud per-
formed the part very we'll. Having
finished them, he rubbed Georges
mouth with some of the fat and laid the
bones, etc., before him, then he rose and
went into another apartment. The
waiter now came and awoke Mr.. Parker,
asking HIM if he should take the things
away. "Eh?' cried George, wiping his
mouth. "Yes--nO-no-yes, you may

FREEZING IMPROVES SOIL.

Deep freezing is always helpful to the
crops that are to be grown the following
summer. Frost can pulverize the soil as
no implement manufactured by man can
possibly do. 1t is the very best disinte-
orator. 1t opens up the soil deeper than
any Of our plows or cultivators reach,
and, without the snow, leaves our lands
in much better condition. to resist
droughts, rendering it open to atmos-
pherlc fertilization, retention of moist
ure, and more easily cultivated. The
deeper the freezing the wider is the
range tor plant rootlets that go out in
reach of food and moisture. The great
est advantage there is in fall plowing
for spring crops is that by turning over
and loosening the soil we put it in shape
to freeze deeper, and to become thor
oughly disintegrated, and in early spring
we find it cultivates as nice and fine as
an ash heap, and always resists drought
much better than lands plowed in the
spring, and yields better crops.
1t is astonishing how much water soil
will absorb and retain that has been
deeply frozen in winter. After the mild
winter the soil is packed and spring
rains are all carried away. 1t is also in
carly spring after severe winter weather
that the numerous light SHOWS, meltin :
as they fall or remaining day or two al
most, ara most beneficial. These SHOWS
are generally termed the ''poor mans
manure" not so much on account OF the
small amount of ammonia they absorb
from the air and distribute in the soil,
but rather because of the moisture
which they furnish the soil in a way that
is most beneficial. To be invariably
helpful to land, either rain or snow mus
not be in excess of saturation. Tilinl
lands most generally operates upon thu
same principle as deep freezing, render
ing it open and porous, beneficial alike
in seasons of excessive moisture CT pro
tracted drought.-NatioRal Stoekmaa.
