OF MILK.

During the hot, dry months when flies
ARE abundant, cows are almost sure to
shrink in the milk flow. There are some
points about this matter that aret well to
consider. A great many dairy farmers
follow the, practice of turning the cows
into, small pasture at night for the sake
of the convenience of finding them the
next morning. During the day the cows
are SO bothered by flies that they will aot
eat what they should even if it is easily
procured. If they cannot Craze at night
the result will be that they get too little
food in the twenty-four hours, and must
in consequence shrink in their milk. The
wise dairyman will see to it that the COW
has plenty to eat. II 1t requires q little
extra study and effort on his part to get
it for her he will do it, for he knows this
important fact, that if the COW shriDks in
summer he can rever get her back to as
large a flow in the fall as he otherwise
would. Good management of the cows
is one of the foundations of success in
milk production. Flies in the day time
and continent OF night will beat tho
best cow in the world.-Hoard's Dairy
men.

Queen VIctorla's Private Car.

The two cars provided for Her Ma.
jesty's railway journeys were constructed
and furnished in Belgium. Their ex.
ternal appearance is not very different
from that of other saloon cars. They are
connected by o short corridor. forming
suite of small apartments. In front is a
box for the Scottish Highlands man

yellow fringes and tassels. The walls
are hung with silkJwhich is blue foi
the dado and pearl gray above, brocaded
with shamrock, rose and thistle in pale
yellow. The curtains are blue and
white. The small table is of a pale col
ored wood. A dark Indian carpet is
spread on the floor. There are four
lights in the ceiling; in the centre is q
ventilator of cut.out brass.
The saloon leads to the dressing room,
which is hung in Japanese style with
bamboo round the floor. The toilet
table is covered with morocco leather,
relieved with white metal ornaments and
nails. The basin and all the toilet
service are Of the same metal. Two fairy
lights stand on the table. The royal
ladies bedroom is decorated in gray and
light brown colors. The larger OF the
two beds is for the Queen, the other is
for fha PRINCESS Beafrice or whoever

FOR THE HOG pAsruRAeE.

Glover should not be the principal re.
nance for the hog pasturage, but if there
Is not sufficient of this a field should be
sown with oats, rye, or barley to supple
mentit. Sorghum and pumpkins should
also begrown to nelp out the feeding
later in the season, so that the hogs may
be made ready for market without SO
much as We have been in the habit of
using in the past. The best profit IN hog
feeding results when the desired weight
can be made with the least corn. This
method of feeding is practicable now,
because the market does not call for such
heavy weight as formerly. Light
bacon" is now the grade that brings the
top psices.-Chieago Times.

TIE VIRTUES OF STONES.

/ have heard a farmer brag that he
hardly bad a stone on his place as large
as his hand, and to most farmers the
idea Of a stony farm is abhorrent. This
lis a mistake, and stones, like almost
everything else, are not without their
virtues. They help to make the soil rich
by constantly wearing away and giving
to it new material. They make it mel
low and porous, and when GOODNESS is
needed they keep it cool. In warm
weather they cool very quickly at night
and condense the dew, thus gathering
moisture from the driest air, so the land
does not bake in a dry season or run to-
gether in a wet. Then the stones gather
the water around them, making the soil
porous. In winter they give warmth to
the ground. for they absorb and retain
The heat from the sun. As long as they
do not interfere with the cultivation of
the land let them remain.-American
Farmer.

CARE OF FENCE CORNERS.

ing place IN the farm, the fence corners
are likely, at this time, to need the most
attention. It goes without saying that
it IS difficult to keep these places clean.
It is still more difficult to get them clean
after they have been allowed to become
foul. And yet the farmer who has q
high ideal of what a farm should be will
not be contented to have his fence
corners become a tangled hedge oil
bushes or a nest of weeds. Bushes are
worse than weeds, for the latter can be
cut 0 readily and are not nearly as
difficult to destroy. Not that il is easy
to eradicate weeds when they have taken
possession of fence corners aud have
been allowed to ripen their seeds and
mature their stalks year after year with
nothing to interfere with their growth,
and development. But it is play to dis.
pose Of such plants when compared with
the uprooting OF wild cherry bushes,
hardhacks, blackberry bushes and
similar growths which find a congenial
home in neglected fence corners. Yet
even the latter ~nuisances can be extir-
pated. II will take a good deal of work
to do it, but If the work il wisely direct.
ed, and is continued long enough, il
will bring its reward. Simply cutting
off the tops, two or three inches from the
ground, once q year will not be effective.
Removing the fence, blowing The
ground, and planting it to some crop
which requires clean cultivation, is the
most efficient course. If this is fol.
