FARM. GARDEN and
HOUSEHOLD.
Comfort For Cattle.

That cattle in pasture often suffer much
from the tormenting flies and mosquitoes
is so evident as hardly TO need our notice.
But it is certainly worth our while to try
TO relieve them from some of the worry
and vexation which these insects occasion,
whether we are prompted thereto by kind
~ consideration for the comfort OF our
dumb friends, or by the more selfish con-
sderation that cattle when worried con-
stantly cannot give SO much milk as when
allowed quiet and restful conditions.
When there is plenty OF shade in the
pasture and pool OF water in which the
cattle can wade in hot weather. they will
ind much comfort in these places. and
will 20 out in the open places to feed in
the cool hours OF the morning or in the
evening when the insects are less trouble
some.
When COWS are tethered by chain they
should be tied in shady place during the
heat of the day if possible, and be remoy-
ed to the sunny spots in the cooler hours
Of the morning and evening
When the pasturage is short and the
cattle must be fed somewhat by hand in
order to maintain the flow of milk, It IS a
good plan to drive them in at nine or ten
O'Clock in the morning and feed them in
the shade of the barn or barnyard. and
turn them out again about FIVE or six in
afternoon for the night.
One OF the chief advantages OF the soil
ing system of feeding cattle consists in
the greater comfort the cattle ENJOY dur
ing fy time when kept in the shade dur
ing the heat of the day.
Some gentlemen who have pet Jerseys
tethered on their lawns take pains to give
them thin linen blanket to keep OF the
flies, but Of course this could not be done
by those who have large herds.-I29He6-

Something worth knowing:
That if oilcloth is laid down where the
sun will shine on it much it will stick fast
to the floor unless paper is laid under it.
That lemon stains on cloth may be re-
moved by washing the goods in warm
soap suds and ammonia.
That steel knives which are not in gen
eral use may be kept from rusting by COW
ering the steel portion with mutton tallow,
then wrapping them in Ipaper and putting
away.
That if grease or oil is spilled on car
pet. flour or fine meal should be sprink-
led over it as soon as possible, and let
remain for several hours and it will absorb
the grease.
In washing greasy skillets, the addition
of little soda to the water will neutralize
the grease and make it much easi:r to
clean, These are best cleaned when hot.
If your shoestrings have the bad habit
of coming united rub them with beeswax,

A medium size hat box came from the
milliners the other day packed with tom

were separated by tissue, which was alsc
slipped into corners, where it was needed
to hold them securely. The moral sug
gested is that in packing your bonne's anc
hats for travel they insult be so placed thai
they cannot slip about. One woman
whose hat came out in unusually gooo
condition takes the extra prec ution o.
fastening them to the hat box of her trunk
with her long hat pins.
BY the way, the white sailor hats OF an
of the family may be cleaned and whltenet
by rubbing them with lemon juice. Gu
the lemons in halves and rub vigorously
first laying the hat on clean cloth, on
fiat surface so that it will not get out o
shape. After using the lemon, brush the
hat thoroughly with tepid water containing
a teaspoonful of borax. Remove the bant
or cover it in cleaning, so that it will no
be discoored.

The Rural World says The prosper
Gus business men are those who labor
least with their hands and make the head
take the chief burden OF the work, AND
this is true especially OF those farmers
who so manage their work as to dispense
with the hardest labor by skilltul use OF
all their opportunities. This Is seen IN 10
those instances in which the improved
methods of feeding COWS, by soilins IN the
summer and by ensilage in the winter are
practiced; by improved methods OF cu-
ture, by which the yield Of the crops is
doubled by those who cater to the more
refined tastes OF the public, The special
farmers, the fruit growers, the fine butter
makers, the shepherds who supply the
early lambs, those dairymen who use the
best labor-saving machinery bnd utensils,
those cattle feeders who rear the finest
beeves. those farmers who supply the
markets with small pigs, fetching as much
money at five months old as two-year-
old but not so well managed will do; all
these are prosperous, and by the certain
rule that to those who have the skill and
take the thoughtful pains will always be
the largest profits, they will always ENJOY
prosperity.

buildings and farm machinery in the
central part of the county and running
the crops in Lake, Buffalo, Rich Valley,
and the west part of Fairview, and
damaging crops more or less in Gar

In Onida there was no hail but the
most terrific wind storm that ever pass

THE CELEBRATION.

Considering the condltiof Of the peo'
Piles minds in this county On the mbrn.
ing Of the 4th, after viewing the various
wrecks Of buildings and ruined crops
made by the storm of the previous
evening, the attendance at the Oniaa
celebration was greater than was ek-
pected People from almost evety
township in the county were present
and seemed to enjoy the exercises Of
the gala day as IN times agone. The
people were late in arriving, conse
quently the Calathumpian parade
headed by Old Glory, Uncle Sam and
the Goddess of Liberty and 13 young 3
ladies representing the 13 original
States, all beautifully attired for the
occasion-was the only part of the pro-
gram carried out before the noon hour
arrived. For Righteousness the boys
rather excelled themselves in the make
up of costumes for the occasion, and
created much merriment as they rode
and tramped through the streets. |
After the dinner hour races were
called and in the horse race, free fon
all, four entries were made, viz: W. W.
Hall (Schouweiler horse) of Blunt, P.
H. Bighim, Onlda; Geo. Houck, Nor
folk, and Pat. Kane, Harrison. Hall
won first heat, Bighim the second and
Hall third, giving Hall first money,
Bighim second, and Houck third.
In the pony race there were four
entries: Mercer of Blunt, Newt. Gar
ner, Onida, j. F. Gunsalus, Brayton,
and P. III. Bighim, Onida. Mercer
took first, Garner second and Gunsalus
/ third money in two heats.
In the free-for-all foot race Hall of
| Blunt was the winner and in the boys
race Lyons of Garner took first money.
A potato race and other sports we're
indulged in by the lovers OF the vari-
Gus sports.
A ball game was played between the
Blunt Blues and Onidas. Our boys
were fairly on their good behavior and
made 1t interesting for the Blunts for
short time, the score at the close of
the game standing: Blunt 3; Onlda 27.
This closed the days sports. AT dusk
the grandest display of fireworks ever
witnessed in Sully county was sent
up from in front of the school building.
The dance given by the Band at the
Court House in the evening wound up
the day Qualification and was a grand
success. The Court House was jam
med full of merry dancers and the band
boys received their just deserts for the
pains taken-about $35 clear cash.
