TREAT TIE cows KINDLY,

s,ows are naturally of the kindest dis
position of any four legged animal upon
the farm, and they should be treated
kindly and not abused by the mixers
and drivers. The practice of sending a
dog after them and allowing him to rush
them into the milk yard, exhausted and
excited, is q practice that will cost each
year from ten to twenty-five pounds OF
butter for every COW MIXED. Drive the
COWS leisurely to and from the pasture.
III you are Ia hurry let the driver make
double quick time when he is going to
and from the field not ccompanied by
the cows. The throwing of stones, sticks
or other missiles should be forbidden, and
the operation Of milking should be done
rapidly and with but little or no talking.

MAST FED PORK,

There is good nut crop in many parts
OF the country this year. In early times
when woods were more plentiful than
row, many farmers let their pigs pick up
much of their living in the woods. They
became quite fat when frost loosened the
ours OF nuts. Pigs fed thus made the
sweetest and best pork. Itneeded some
corn feeding to give required frmness to
Tie fat. This made the pork go farther
Tor two reasons. Tt did not fry away so
much in the pan and it was not SO good
to eat as the sweerer nut-fed pork

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES,

T1ansplanting two or three times help:
in the formation of fbrous roots.
In growing berries for market the bes
results are secured with rich soil.
Generally in transpanting it is best to
set the plants down to the first leaf.
By keeping different kinds of stock
the pastures will not become patchy.
To keep a flock making profit re-
quires careful selection and close culling.
Mulching newly set trees during hot,
dry weather often saves them from dying.
Allowing them to grow too thick is
one cause of failure in growing root crops.
Are your stables so arranged that the
horses could be rescued easily in case of

Clear the barnyard welk of stones and
sticks before you turn the horses out for
a romp.
The real friend of the farmer is he that
teaches him to be contented, Industrious
and frugal.
A man does not take good care of a
horse should not have the pleasure of
owning one.
If you can sell direct to the consumer
you can put the middleman's profit in
your own pocket.
Many farmers wear out fifty dollars
worth. of horse flesh trying to save buy
ing ten dollar plow.
Breed the best to the best and you can
count on something for your trouble.
Otherwise you lake great risks.
Sweet whey is worth seven cents per
100 pounds as pig and calf food. This
is seven cents more than sour whey is
worth.
Corn fodder, put in shocks and left in
the field during good part of the fall
and winter, loses from one-third to one.
half of its feeding value.
Powdered chalk given in soft food is,
in many cases, good remedy for scours
in hens, Give plenty Of green food with
oats on wheat and but little grain.
Geese and turkeys require plenty of
room, and it will rarely pay to keep them
unless they can be given free range.
Where there is plenty Of pasture they
thrive we'll.
If you let those weeds in the garden
go to seed now, they will give you
trouble again next yeear. Cut them
down, and if the seeds have begun to
ripen, leave them.
Geese live long, and for all practical
purposes, the old one are as good, if not
better than the young ones. So it is
better to sell the younger ones, as they
fetch better prices.
There would be no abandoned farms
if their owners had combined science
with practice, and there will be more of
them eventually unless our farmers begin
to do this more generally.
You may make one definite step for
ward in your dairy practice this winter,
by firmly resolving to keep no COW that
does not pay her board promptly. Take
no promises to pay in the spring.
The Pekin is a large Lreed of ducks,
and can be raised on the farm with only

BULBOUS FLOWERS,

Here are instructions for growing
bulbs indoors given by an English au:
thority in such matters:
Bulbs grown in the sitting or dining
room require only that q damp atmos,
phere should be kept about them, and
light is not wanted until they are pro-
crossing freely. The bulbs, when potted,
will do well in the bottom of cupboard
If set in damp moss or anything of that
kind, and small portion of the same
sprinkled over them. In glasses the
water should not be allowed to touch the
bulb, though very close to it, and rain or
soft water should be used. When lodged
in the glasses, the bulbs should be put
in some cool place where light is ex.
cluded-say a cupboard-there to re-
main five OR SIX weeks, and when the
reefs reefs are well developed and the swelling
bud and spike starting freely they may
be gradually Injured to the full light.
The water should not be changed, but
filled up occasionally, and small lump
of charcoal kept at the bottom. From
the time the flower begins to show, the
more light and air given the better.

INFLUENCE OF OATS AND BRAN ON MILK.
1t is quite well understood that the
quantity of food consumed influences the
yield of milk and that certain foods and
grasses influence the color of butter.
Numerous experiments exhibit results to
prove that an increase of the same ration
will increase cows milk yield, but not
the quality of that yield. BY few it
is believed that the quality of the milk
can be changed very perceptibly by
changing rations. Others maintain that
the quality of milk depends solely, or al
most SO, on the individual animal, some
giving rich milk, others poorer article.
At the Colorado Station experiments
were made with four COWS, for the pur-
pose of testing the comparative effects
of wheat bran and oat chop (that is,
ground oats) on the fat of milk. For
the first period the ration morning, noon
and evening was two pounds of oat chop
and all the alfalfa hay they would eat
and all the water desired, but with no
other food. For the second period clear
wheat bran containing no shorts) was
substituted for the oat chop.
From study of the tabulation it ap-
pears that the quality of the milk was
quite perceptibly influenced by the
change of food given these cows. In
each case the wheat bran produced the
best result in the production of fat in the
milk. there is also evidence extant that
bran causes better flow of milk than
cats. While the COWS gained in weight
on the oat chop, each lost few pounds
on the bran ration. Tie difference in
either case could have been caused by
the difference in water drank at single
tinsc. New York World.

Of the shooting the Franklin Ne,cs
says;
About $50 Mr.. Crochran took the
rifle 32.calber single.shot Ballard,
aud went out. He was noticed by
Mrs. Hurer, wife of the farm tenent,
who thought nothing of it, as he bad
frequently gone out in the same way
with this same rifle. Perhaps an
hour after, OF about 1890, Mrs H.
went out to feed the chickens. At a
corner Of the chicken coop, about 150
feet from the house, she was startled
to see Mr.. Crochran lying on the
ground in what she supposed was a
fainting fit. He was lying with his
left arm and leg bent underneath
him. On looking closer Mrs. H.
saw that the straw hat lying under
his head was bloody. His right hand
had hold of the top of the rife barrel
She at once gave the alarm, and
neighbors were soon on hand.
AT the inquest DR.. Galbraith testi.

wound; that the bullet had entered
the head II inches back and a little
above the orbital line of the right
eye; that the ball passed upward and
backward, lodging inside the skull.
He further stated that the course of
the ball was such as would be made
on man stumbling and in the act
of falling. Was inclined to think
the wound was accidental.
Mr.. Cochran leaves a wife, one
daughter, widow of the late w. G.

The New Married woman,s Law.

The new married womans law passed
by the late Legislature is deserving the
attention of all having business with that
class of persons. It was passed to meet
decisions of the courts, which, pursuing
their usual custom of very strict con-
struction on this subject, had largely
neutralized the apparent intent of pre-
vious legislation, as we'll as to meet the
demand for larger freedom over their es-
tates by married women.
The act provides that married woman
may have the same right and power as
an unmarried person to acquire, use,
lease and dispose of property, but she
may not mortgage or convey her real es-
tate unless her husband joins. She may
also make any contract in writing or
otherwise which is necessary, appropri-
ate, convenient or advantageous to the
exercise or enjoyment of her rights of
property, but she may not become ac-
commodation indorser, maker, guaran-
tor or surety for another. She may sue
or be sued civilly, but she may not sue
her husband except for divorce or to pro-
tect or recover her separate property
when deserted or refused support, and he
may sue her for divorce or to protect or
recover his property when deserted by
her, but she shall not be arrested for her
torts. In suits between husband and
wife both shall be competent witnesses
but cannot testify to confidential commu-
nications unless by agreement. She may
dispose by will of all property, but the
husbands right as by courtesy shall not
be affected.
The act of June 8, 1887, and all other
inconsistent acts are repealed by this act
which was approved June s, 1898.

Family Reunion.

On Saturday, July 10Th, 1898, at

ters celebrated her 70 birthday in
gand old style. She is the mother of
eight respected sons and daughters,
who can look up to her as Il faithful

also natives of Vermont. She came
to Pennsylvania with her parents in
1918, who settled in Hickory town.

they cleared and improved farm.
At Balltown, Dec. 80, 1880, she was
united in marriage with Moses Wal.

erected a mill at Little Hickory,
where they lived for several years.
From there they moved to Fleming

they purchased large farm, when all
around them was a bowling wilder.
ness, and where the country surround.
ing their forest home abounded with
wolves, panthers, bears, and all kinds
of animals peculiar to this section in
the early pioneer times. With all
these dangers and difficulties sur.
rounding them they struggled and
tOiled happily together for 25 years,
amid such hardships and disadvan.
tages as only our parents and grand
parents knew how to endure. After
these many years of toll and patience,
they sold their beloved home for oil
purposes, moving to Chautaubua
county, N. Y, where they purchased
beautiful homo, and where in lit.
tie more than two years their home
was bereft Of the honored husband
aud father, and the widowed mother
and three youngest children were left
alone, but with plenty to provide for
their wants. They had 20 grand.

Mrs. Walters was, several years
later, married to Mr.. Beebe, of Chau.
tauqua county, who again left her
widow in 1889.
She is now living with her chill
dren, who are endeavoring, by loving
deeds of kindness, to make her last
days, days of rest and comfort.
There were present at the reunion 50
