feeding quality 20 assimilate and digest
their food. It is folly 10 Judge of the
dairy qualities of COW by the amount
of flesh she carries. There Is but one
accurate way to determine the value
of a COW for the dairy, and that Is to
ascertain the number Of pounds OF
butter fat she yields in year from
given amount of feed
The COW that yields the greatest
amount of butter fat per year for the
least cost per pound is the most valu-
able COW for the dairyman, and 1t
does not matter whether she keeps fat
enough for the butcher or so thin that
her ribs can be counted. 1t does not
matter whether she weighs five hun
dred pounds or a ton; whether she
has the beef form or the so-called dairy
form whether she is black or white,
spotted or fawn colored, red or krin-

AN rNDEFAT1GABLE INsECTICIDE.

A crow had q nest in the woods just
before my door, and drew bis mate and
young ones food from my pasture,
writes E. s. Gilbert He would walk
along picking up insects or something
right and left, often having to make
quite all effort to swallow them. A few
minutes. and he spread his wings for
home ana the squawing of MS mate
showed that she was being fed. Then
back he came for more. How many
trips he made per day do not know,
but a good many. often tried to see
what he vas pickingu up, and he allowed
me to come within three rods; but he
was so quick couldn't see and my big,
shiny telescope was just as bad rs gun
in his opinion; he started for the
woods the moment he saw it coming.
Thus he worked steadily day after day,
and thcagh it seems incredible that
his big nouthfuls were all cut WORMS
or white grubs, do not know what
else they could have been. New York

Do not skim-milk your calves too

THE BEST BEANS.

6. e. Hum, of Geneva, n. Y, writ
ing IN Garden and Forest, says:
Few vegetables have been hybrid
lied or selected with greater care than
the bean, and varieties suitable for
several purposes have been developed,
until little improvement now seems
possible. Among snapbeans, the new
yellow-podded wax varieties, which
are almost cylindrical in shape, solid
vet tender, and of the finest fibre and
flavor, are quite superior to the old
time fiat, green-podded and stringy
varieties Among the best varieties
are Wardwell's Kidney Wax, Yosemite
Mammoth Wax, Golden Wax and Per-
lection. OF shell beans, the best are
Dwarf Horticultural: Golden Cluster,
which is very productive and bears fat
beans about two-thirds as large as
Henderson's Bush Sieva, meaty and
we'll favored; Hemisphere, bean al
most round, but solid and of extra
quality, half Of it being light brown in
color, splashed with red. This color
would detract from it's value as a mar
ket variety, but in the process of cook
ing the color to great extent disap-
pears, SO that it is one of the very best
for the kitchen garden. On the sta
ton grounds, as the main experiment
crop for the past four years, a pure
white bean has been grown which has
proved of extra quality and produc-
tiveness. It is very hardy and is proof
thus far against the anthracnose, so
prevalent throughout this section. It
has been called the HIATT bean, after it's
originator, but I am not aware that it
has been offered for sale under any
narno, although it should be more
generally known.
'"The search and selection necessary
FOR q true Dwarf Lima bean has been
successful, and it would now seem
hardly necessary to grow The pole Lima

trife earlier than the bush type when
both are planted together, it is true,
but the dwarf varieties may be started
earlier, either in common beds or in
inverted sods, or in pots in the kitchen
or greenhouse. When planted out
they can be protected from early or
late frosts with ease so that the season
of hearing can be heightened out by
the same method. Cheap cloth pro!
lection or wide boards can be used
against frost. Two distinct types of
these beans are now offered by seeds.
men, Burpee's Bush Lima, with large
fat pods, we'll filed with beans, and
resembling the old garden Lima, and
Dreer's or Kumerly's Dwarf Lima,
with shorter pods and beans resembling
in shape Dreer's Improved Lima.
Either of these can be grown in the
kitchen garden, and for market they
will certainly crowd out the climbing
varieties, since many more can be
planted on the same area and no ex.
pcnse is necessary for poles. -

An Invasion of Privacy,

A few years ago society in Washing
ton was shocked by the use of a picture
of Mrs. Cleveland as a cigar dealers
sign. Now society in Chicago has been
shocked by the use of a portrait of Mrs
Potter Palmer in brewery advertise
ment. Society in the east was aroused
to indignation not long ago by the whole
sale employment of portraits of modest
young ladies to stimulate the business of
cigarette manufacturers. In this case
the offense was exceptionally fragrant,
for the portraits were not faithfully re-
produced from the originals, but were
rendered more p1quant by attaching the
faces of proper young people in private
life to the figures of stage people in the
approximate undress of the ballet. The
courts were called upon to stop the out
rage, and it was stopped.
All these invasiOns of the privacy Of
individuals are utterly indefensible, and
bring the perpetrators under the CEN
sure of public opinion in all communi-
ties where public opinion has any pre-
tensions to capacity for making nice
distinctions between right and wrong.
There are those who maintain that it is
a compliment to lady's beauty to go to
the expense of manufacturing her por
trait and scattering it broadcast as the
central establishment of an artistic adj
vertisement. But if the lady's feelings
in the matter are stolidly ignored, there
is certainly no compliment, but coarse
insult, which no man with the instincts
of a gentleman could fail to resent.-Mil-

ture was twelve feet in diameter and
the present depth Of the shaft is $50 feet.
Mr.. Meyers brought with him about
900 specimens, some of them of rare
beauty. He represents the valuable
stones, that is stones worth cutting and
polishing, about forty per cent of the
entire find. His specimens show marked
increase in value as the depth of the mine
increases and the promise of very rich
returns seems unusually good. There be-
ing no duties imposed on rough stones, il
is intended TO start a laboratory for cut
ting and polishing in this city where the
finished product will be put upon the
market. The present indications would
show that there was bonanza in this

Notwithstanding natures electrical

light rain fell in the city at 9:3O o'clock
last night and it seemed that j. PluviuS
had blessing in store for San Antonio.
But the rain soon ceased and the threat
ening appearance OF the skies continued
all night. The electrical storm originated
on the northwestern horizon and moved TO
the center Of the heavens. From there it
moved directly northwest and was short
" carried TO the east. The storm clouds
finally settled in the south and disappear
ed. Heavy thunderbOItS in the north
were distinctly heard and it was appar
emt that the storm was coming from that
direction. 1t will be remembered by old
inhabitants that the severe hail storm of
May ~, some twenty five years ago, Origi-
mated in the northwest and when it came
over the city, turned loose hail stones
weighing a pound, demolshing all the
window paneS in the city, and destroying
the entire crop for that year.
This occurrence has never been wiped
out Of the memory of all who experienced
it and the anniversary always recalls TO
