AN AID TO MILKING.
The Conegian's Advice to His Father Re-
suits DisastrousIy.

suits DisastrOusIy.
A college student in one of our
western states recently returned home
after his course was finished to find
that his father, clergyman with
small salary, was eking out his living
by running a small farm. One of the
adjuncts of the farm was a COW,
pretty good animal, which, however,
had a strong aversion to being MIXED.
Here was an opportunity for a dis
play of the lately acquired knowledge
of the Juvenile collegian.
Father" said he, Prof. G. says
if one will place a weight upon cows
back it will make her give down the
milk
The reverend gentleman, favorably
impressed with this information that
his son had learned from Prof G.,
decided to try the simple remedy. In
stead, however, of placing a weight
placed himself upon it. But then he
ever, was still obstinate.
Tie my legs under the cow" said
the father to his son.
The son did so. But the COW, I'M
used to such unusual and arbitrary
ure by rearing and plunging, entirely
unmindful of the dignity of the per-
sonage astride her spinal column. 1t
was getting altogether too interesting
for the two bipeds concerned in the
! transaction.
''Cut the rope! Cnt the rope!'' shout
| ed Mr.. v to his dutifu1 son, mean
| ing the rope by which he was attached
to the cow.
| But the son, being somewhat excited,
cut the rope by which the COW was
! fastened to the stanchion. at once
availing herself of the liberty thus Of
! fered, the cow took an unceremonious
exit from the stable, and down the
street she went. The minister accom-
| panied the cow, but in a manner not
exactly BETTING the dignity OF his
profession.
As it happened, one of the sisters OF
the congregation was on the street as
the race was in progress. Surprised al
such a sight the good sister cried out:
f'Why. Brother v, where are you
going?'
His sense of the ludicrous coming to
his aid, Brother v shouted back
1.-The Lord and the cow only know.

The clergyman was eventually res
cued from his awkward perch, and
never attempted the feat again.

tains, but whisky had continued to
come down the Cumberland river. The
present marshal, Capt. Hayes, an old
confederate officer, said that he thought
that when the boys found out that
he really wanted them to quit they
would do so. He understood them, he
knew their natures, their impulsiveness
and their disposition to yield to per-
suasion. So he sent a deputy and four
men to tell the boys to quit. One night
about week later some one rang the
door bell and the marshal himself went
to the door.
"Why," said he, shave you got back,
Caney?''
Caney answered: Eyes, just about"
''Where is the deputy marshall"
'Wel1, he's back, too"
''Why didn't he come round?"
''Wel1, lowed that his folks needed
him more than you did, so I unloaded
him there"
''What, you don't mean that he's
hurt?''
''No, not hurt now, but he was.
He's dead at present. I'm the only one
that got back whole"
well, I declare. Didn't you tell
those boys that I wanted them to quit
their foolishness?"
Eyes, and they must have been hard
of hearing, for they kept on a shoot
ing
"Well, I must send them little
stronger message"
And he did. Soldiers were sent up
to the mountains and one or two of
them got back. And after this the
matter became serious. A large force
were sent up and were fred upon from
ambush. They took possession of the
country, opened regular military quar-
tiers, and made numerous arrests,
asked million questions and learned
nothing. The young men were igno-
rant, the women could do nothing but
giggle, and the old men agreed that
there might have been wildcat whisky
in the community, but they knew
nothing about it. After a sojourn of
several weeks the soldiers broke camp
and marched away, and as they were
fling through ravine were fred upon.
They wheeled about and reestablished
the camp, declaring that they would
quarter themselves upon the people
until the outlaws were given up to JUS
tice. Two months passed and every
thing was at peace. The young men
went about their crops. the women
worked at their hand looms and the
old men sat about. chewed tobacco and

BROWN SWISS cATng.
Description and Characteristics of This
Mlk-PFOducing Breed.

Description and Ch8rac[er1GE1cS OF 1nxs
Mnk-PrOducing Breed
The prominent position held by
Switzerland as manufacturing cen
ter of cheese and butter is largely due
to the superiority of its two most
numerous races of cattle-the Simmer
thai or spotted Berne breed. and the
Schwytz or brown breed. The former
is but little known in this country, but
the latter under the name of Brown
Swiss breed. has sprung into promi-
nence within the last two years.
The native home of the Brown Swiss
cattle is the canton of Schwytz, Swift
erland. The first importation to this
country was made about 1870 This
was succeeded by few other importa-
tions, and the demand slowly increased
until the remarkable record made by
Brienz, fine specimen of the breed.

in the front rank as butter producers
In size the Brown Swiss are above
medium, mature bulls weighing from
1 500 to 1900 pounds. and cows from
LOO to 1 800 pounds The color is as
the name indicates, brown. varying,
however, from a light to a dark chest
nut shade. The hoofs, tongue, nose
and switch of the tail are always
black, while the Zig hit line is particu-
| larly observable in narrow line along
| the back, in the inside of the ears and
| in tufts of hair between the horns. The
| head is large; horns are rather short,
smooth and tipped with black. They

you who are directly interested"
There was a great deal of whisper
ing, and when the candles were lighted
the next evening it looked as though
the congregation was going to be
small, but the house began gradually
to ill up, and by the time the old man
arose there was quite an audience But
just as he took his text an excitement
arose. A volley of guns was fired

which they bear somewhat general
resemblance, being, however, more re-
bust in build and heavier and larger
animals. They have short and straight
legs, wide thighs and deep quarters,
their general outline showing the milk
breed. The cows have excellent es-
cutcheons, we'll formed udders and give
large quantities of good milk. They
mature early, and their disposition is
extremely kind and docile. Their
marks are very persistent, "a circum-
stance which proves the purity of the
breed. The estimation in which the
Brown Swiss COWS are held in their
native land is perhaps best shown by
the fact that the Anglo-Swiss Con-
densed Milk company, of Cham, is sup
piled almost entirely with their milk.

It was known in the United States

to do his duty. which, of course, was
to see that the Illicit distilleries, no

and that the distillers should be
brought to justice. His predecessor in

countermanded his order and the

day after this the old fellow preached
in the log house, got up a revival, IN
fact, and SO much of a stir was made
that several of the soldiers arose and
asked that the prayers of the church
might be given in their behalf. After
awhile the preacher began to implore
the commander to withdraw his troops.

The commander finally agreed to this
and the troops departed. They filed
through dangerous places but they
were not fired upon. 1t was expected
that the preacher would soon go, but
he did not. He kept up his meetings,
he told the people that as he had cz-

III Your Horse Hungers, Give Him Wood.
Wood may now be used for vari-
ETY. of purposes outside the ordinary
uses with which we are all familiar.
1t is not so long since we were sur
prised by the announcement that it
could be used for paper making, and
wood shavings can now be used in
many processes of manufacture. The
latest use, however, that wood has
been put to is to transform it into
food by means of a chemical process.
The method has. of course, come from
Germany.
Every one who has studied little
Of chemistry knows that wood is
composed largely of cellulose, and
this substance, which is complicat-
ed organic compound of carbon, hy-
drogen and oxygen, is very closely
allied to grape sugar. In fact, it is
only necessary to add the elements
of water to the former to produce
the latter, and this may very easily
be done by boiling with little dilute
sulphuric acid (sulphuric acid which
has been mixed with water). In this
way the cellulose in the wood is con-
verted into grape sugar, very whole
some food for cattle. DIR. King, a
German physician, adds to this about
40 per cent of meal of wheat, oats or
rye; also phosphate and bone ele-
ments. Thus a sort of wood glucose
cake is made, which can be used in
place of oilcale as food for CATTLE
