THE COW that stops chewing the
cud and prlcks up her ears when
being MIXED cannot be depended
upon to give all Of her milk.
HENRY TALCoTT, formerly dairy
commissioner Of Ohio says: II can
make from $50 to $75 a cow easier
in winter dairying than l can from
S25 to $40 in summer. Consequently
/ have my cows come in in October,
November, and December"
THERE is much good evidence that
the more water cows can be induced
to drink the more milk they will give;
and some dairymen feed extra amounts
of salt to accomplish this end. But
the cream and butter product cannot
be increased by such means.
THERE is no season of the year
when the stock needs better food or
closer care than in the early spring.
Both the weather and the first succu-
lent feed that they crop In the freshly
starting pastures have a relaxing eff
feet, and some grain and good dry
fodder Is needed to counterfeit this.
WELLS located near a barnyard are
very proper objects Of suspicion. The
chance is good that they are con
taminated by the drainage Of the
barnyard, and the milk or butter
from cows drinking water impregnated
with barnyard drippings cannot be
regarded as first class. The milk
consumer who buys his dairy products
is justified is asking the milkman
some pointed questions on this mat
ter.
GOOD dairy COWS adapted to the
business, we'll fed with suitable foods,
and all their other wants and COM
forts looked after In a manner that
such cows are worthy Of, cannot fail
to pay good dividends wherever there
Is market fordairy products; better,
perhaps, than for any other branch Of
farm economy involving an equal in
yestment, and the more care and in
telligence given to developing the in
dustry the greater the rewards

CURIOUS FUNERAL CUSTOMS.

Collins with Movable Bottoms In UsO
Among Poor Russians.
The foreigners who work in East
ern Connecticut mills have some
curious burial customs, especially the
Russian Jews, 900 of whom dwell In
Norwalk. Not long ago Russian
Jew family had funeral, and before
the ceremony took place the head Of
the house visited local undertaken,
saying, "Have you q coffin with q
movable bottom?" He spoke In a
singular patois, and the undertaken
had great difficulty to comprehend
his intention. He wanted a SHOW
coffin" In which the body was to be
taken to the cemetery and lowered
into the grave; then the coffin must
be drawn out Of the grave, leaving
It's bottom lid with the body In the
ground.
The coffin was to be returned 10 the
undertaken and the man pay him for
the use Of It, Poor Russians, 1t APP
pears, are In the habit Of burying
their dead in that way, and under
takers in that country have a supply
of show or removable" coftlns to let,
They are handsome and costly ones
too expensive to be purchased out
right by the poor-wlth elegant
lining and heavy silver trimmings
The bottom Is fastened to the body
Of the coffin with springs that may
be tripped, and then it Is released,
together with the body. The body Is
left In plain, cheap box.
The Norwich undertakers had no
such continuance, so the poor Russian
consulted with his friends, who
united with him in having show
coffin constructed and paying for it,

A curious incident in connection
with a French. Canadian funeral took
place recently at Putnam, a large
manufacturing village north of Nor
Wich. The funeral was that Of a
beautiful little child. The train, a
very large one, with many carriages,
had gone little way down the main
street Of Putnam, when it came to a
halt In front of Benoit's photograph
gallery. The mourners allghted from
their vehicles and gathered about the
hearse, and the pallbearers then re-
moved therefrom the tiny white coffin
and carried 1t upstairs into the gal
lery, the mourners followed them.
The coffin was set upright on table
in the middle Of the room, and Mr..
Benoit took photograph OF the
dead childs face in its diamond
shaped coffin frame. Then the coffin
was returned to the hearse and the
train went on to the cemetery.

winter, and those who cannot indulge
in several yards of glass covered
lowering plants may enjoy the pleas

be easily managed by any plant loving

sponge is the first requisite, and it

water until it is thoroughly expand

dry and the openings filed with rice

The representative OF Christine,
the Queen Regent of Spain, at the
Worlds Fair will be Infanta Maria
Eulalie, who is the daughter OF
Queen and the aunt Of King Of
Spain, and boasts of the bluest Of
blue blood, Among her ancestors are
to be found the greatest monarchs Of
Spain, and the branches of her fami-
ly tres are further made illustriOus
by the names of many crowned heads
Of France and Austria. When Co.
lumbus discovered America Infanta
Eulalie's ancestress was a monarch,
and, though many viclssitudes have
befallen the royal family of Spain
since that date, the link that con-
meets Infanta Eulalie with the re-
nowned Isabella has never been
broken, and she is as truly descend
ant of the patroness Of Christopher
Columbus as the Duke Of Veragua,
who Is now In this country, is q de-
scendant Of Columbus himself.
> The Infanta is the daughter Of ex-
Queen Isabella II. Of Spain and was
born In 1864, Isabella was then at the
zenith Of her power, but four years

and the royal family were banished

The author of "A Ride Through

hunters store and see a mountain
lion; the only one, as its owner as
serted, which had ever been tanned.
1t was in little back room, chained
to an iron staple in the floor, round
which it was pacing, uttering low
grOwls. 1t appeared very much like
a small panther, and seemed any
thing but tame, snarling at us as if it
would like to spring. 1t was in awe
of his master, however, and cowed
down every time he cracked his
whip. "Come and kiss Miss Pussy"
said the man, and the dog went up
to it, laid paw upon its neck, and
licked its face.
The master then put piece Of
meat on its nose, and told the dog to
fetch it away "He doesn't care for
this part" was his comment. "She
has had him by the throat once or
twice. Just look at her iron paws!
One blow would lay you dead as NUT

A Child's Appreciation of Tennyson,


There is a keen remembrance, lin
gering ineradicably with the writer,
Of a little girl coming to school once
upon recitation day, with "piece" Of
her own selection safely stored away
In her childish memory. 1t was
new poem to the school, and when
her turn came to recite her soul was
full of the CLEAN and glory Of Came
lot. She felt as if she were unlock
ing treasure-house, and it was with
unspeakable pleasure to herself that
she gave, verse after verse, the entire
poem of "The Lady Of Shalott "
Doubtless the child's voice drifted
away into singsong, as her whole lit.
tie self seemed to drift away into the
land of faery, and doubtless, also,
the busy teacher, who was more ia
miliar with Jane Taylor and Cowpef,
was sadly puzzled. When the child
at length sat down, scarcely knowing
where she was in her sudden descent
from the land Of marvel, she heard the
teacher say, to her amazement and
encouragement, after an ominous
pause, 81 wonder if any young lady
can tell me what this poem means?"
There was no reply. Gan you tell
me?" was the next question, pointed
at the poor little girl who had just
dropped out of cloudland. 81 thought
it explained ITSELF" was the plaintlve
reply. With slight air Of deprecia-
tion, in another moment the next
recitation was called for, and the dull
clouds of routine shut down over the
sudden\glory. Shades of the prison
house" then and there began to close
over the growing child. One joy had
for the present faded from her life,
that of sure sympathy and under
standing. Not even her teacher
could see what she saw, nor could
feel what lay deep down in her own
glowing heart. Nevertheless Tenny-
son was henceforth a seer and a
prophet to this child and to the grow
ing world; but for some, who could
never learn his language, he was born
too late.-Anna Fields, in Harrer's
Magazine,

cause the wires are so small as not to
be visible until the animal is en-
tangled in the fence. This objection
is overcome by the free use of scrap
tin, as shown in the engraving. 1t
is BEST however, to take the scraps
from the shop and at your leisure cut
them into the desired form. Many
of them will be found Of the triaggle
shape, with one end slenderly pointed,
all ready for attaching to che wire by
simply closely wrapping the pointed
end twice about the wire Square
pieces may be hung from one corner
and closely pressed to the wire with
a pair Of pinchers. Five or six pieces
attached to the top wire, between
each post will prove more useful where
horses and catJle are pastured than
If the same number were distributed
over all the wires. On barbed wire
tin scraps will remain where placed,
while on plain wire the action of the
wind is label to work them toward
the post; hence, on the latter, wrap
them as closely as possible, using the
pliers freely. The scraps may be cut
to uniform size, or sorted over and
those of nearly the same size placed
in each section. Thus they will pre-
sent a neater appearance than if ap-
piled regardless of uniformity. When
