DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.


NIGHT's milk is richer than morn
ing's.
WATER cows after feeding; horses
before.
A COW that has aborted should no
be allowed to run with pregnant cows.
You are too busy to add pig breeding
and selling to your other cares Let
one of the boys take it up, then. Don't
have him start in with scrubs nor
weak, inbred stock.
THE pastures are more valuable than
they get credit for being. Don't let the
cattle upon them until they are hard
Punching of the soft surface destroys
more feed than anything else.
The best dairymen gradually take
all gram away from their stock during
the flush of the grass season and make
green crops chenply raised take its
place as much as possible later. Still
later comes ensilage.
IT is common sight to see milk
peddler's horse going home alone six to
eight miles from any city, the intelli-
gent animal turning out for teams, his

doze for an hour or more on the return

FACTS ABOUT ANCIENT RINGS.
In OIden Times They Were Generally
Regarded as Tokens of Authority.

In Olden Times They Were Generally
Regarded as Tokens of Authority.
Once there was apeculiar significance
attached to rings. They were regarded
as token of authority. The emperor's
signet ring placed in the hands of an
Official invested him for the time with
his masters power.
Rings are first mentioned in the Bible
in Genesis, chapter 41st and 42d verse:
"And Pharaoh took his ring from his
hand and put it on Joscph's hand, and
made him ruler over all Egypt" When
the Israelites conquered the Midianites
they "toolt all their rings and bracelets
and offered them to the Lord"
Ahasucrus gave the ring from his hands
to the Hebrews worst enemy, thus Civ
ing him unlimited control to do with
them and their property whatever he
pleased. The father received his prod
igal son joyfully, and scaled his for
givencss by putting ring on his hand,
says Mrs. Henry Ward Bcecher, in
Godcy's Magazine.
The Egyptians regarded their rings
both as business vouchers and as orna-
mcnts, the signct rings being always
used for sealing documents, and, how
ever used, their rings were always bur-
led with thcn-and in later years arc
often found in their tombs. The signet
ring was usually Of bronze or silver;
but among the rich gold rings were
used for ornaments. ivory or blue
porcelain were worn by the poor.
Plain gold rings, engraved with some
motto or the head Of their dcities, were
much pri2cd; and three or four were
often worn on the fingers and also on
the thumbs Among the lows no one
was in full dress without the signet
ring and ladies had their rings set pro-
fusely wife costly gcns-rubics, omcr-
+ aids and chrysoliJes being the most
valuable.

CONTINUOUS MlLKERs.
y Habit in Cows That Needs Judicious
DEVELOPMENT.

q Habit in Cows That Needs Judicio US
Development.
The continuous milking habit in
cows should be developed as far as pos
sible. 1t is not source of disease and
impoverished condition of the young,
as many suppose-such instances are
more often the result of improper sup
ply of the COW with foods that lily sus-
tain all parts of the system. If the
COW IS well fed, not starved to reduced
condition, as is often the case the few
weeks preceding calving, there is no
possible danger of milking COW up to
within few weeks, even days, of her
full time. 1t requires more food ut this
period to sustain the COW and embryo,
but if the milking period can be
prolonged for sixty or ninety days be-
yond the usual milking period of aver
age cows, the returns will amply JUS
tify this outlay. That COW DIS six
weeks of rest before calving may be
desirable, as the "freshening" may be
great aid in bringing ont udder de-
velopment While we may object,
with some force, that continuous milk
ing in some cases be injurious, yet it is
only by having cows that have long
and profitable milking period that we
can expect to extend as we would wish
the milking periods of the cows to be
born in the near future, for we must
rely upon heredity quite as much us
feed and handling to fully succeed

FRUITS ON THE FARM.


urc nnd Profit.
Not only should the farmer use every
means to have all kinds of fruit, but he
should endeuvor TO have the varioui
fruits to come in rs early in their sea
son as possible. He should select the
earliest as well as the best. Early
fruit, though of inferior quality, will
be of more pleasure and profit than il
later and of better quality. My ex.
perience in marketing fruit for the last
eighteen years has been to this effect,
Seek the earliest to begin with, the
best quality in all respects for mki2
crop and the latest to quit on. Th+
first and last or latest fruits are gen
orally inferior, most especially with
small fruits
But to grow fruits to attain the mos
pleasure and profit, they must be plant.
ed on good soil, well prepared and prop
erly cared for afterwards. To plant
any variety of fruit on poor soil, unless
it is. well and properly manured, will
not only prove an Improbable invest.
ment, but will discourage the anxious
grower and foster the idea that there
is no pleasure or profit in its cultiva-
tion.
While fruits are very generous in
their demands, still all varieties of
fruits prefer and should have, as far as
practicable, soils genial to their wants,
where they flourish best and grow to
perfection with smallest amount of
manure and cultivation.
Different situations, l have noticed,
make difference in the timo of ripen.
ing, size and quality of fruit. l have
taken strawberry plants of the same
variety of pure stock, and set at the
same time two beds, one bed facing
southeast and the other on level ground.
There was several days difference in
the time of ripening Those facing
southeast ripened first and sold for
twenty-five cents per quart, while
those set on level ground were as fine,
if not finer, but came in later, when
there were more berries in market,
and sold for only twelve and half
cents per quart Thus the level bed
would have deprived us of the pleas
ure of setting the first berries of the
season before our neighbors, and en-
ioying the same dainty dish ourselves,
besides considerable profit. Thomas
d. Bard, in Farm and Fireside.

Destroying CuterpilInrs.

A number of years ago the orchard
on our old homestead was literally
eaten up by caterpillars. In autumn
they would crawl up the doorstep into
the house, on rails, up trees in the
woods, and, in fact everywhere, to
pupate. The moths would then lay
their eggs on the fruit trees, where the
worms did the most damage. The
spring after l took possession, about
June, when the nests were the size of
a quart cup, l got up early in the
morning before the caterpillars were
out of their sleeping places. collected
the nests and burned them. This
must be done before sunrise, or some
will be out feeding. This method, all
though requiring some little work, was
very effective, for since 1879 have
not seen u caterpillar on the place. If
the work is thoroughly done and per-
sisted In for several years they can be
completely eradicated. A small or
chard can be gone over In two or three
mornings. .--oTange Judd FarmeF.
