words of her mouth were as "apples
of gold in pictures of silver" Low
toned and gentle was her voice ex-
cept when she was "vexed" as she
termed it at some wrong or injustice.
Then with a fash of her eyes she
keenly stated her position and deliv-
cred her invective against the wrong.
A woman of strong mind and strong
heart was my grandmother. She
was the delight of the children, re-
tanning the enthusiasm and SIMPLE

I was preparing for my wedding
few days hence, and came into grand
mothers room to show her some
dainty trifie friend had sent me.
Daughter" she said, fondly smooth
ing my hair as l sat at her feet, "these
preparations make me think of my
own wedding day-so long ago.
and a dreamy, far-away look came
into her eyes. "Tell me. grand
mother" said I. Grandmother's fund
of stories was large, and the children
were always eager to hear of her
childhood days in "merry old Eng
land" but knew by the look in
grandmother's face that this story
was one not told the children.
"Well DEAR" she said, 81 will tell

''One bright October day I was sit

my mother, when your grandpa came
up with such bright look on his
face and said, Margaret, 1 have a
home for you. I know you will like
it. 1t looks like it had been built for
you. There's woodbine over the
door, and bright little stream runs
by the side. Lord Kingsworth has

The next morning arose early, put

years, walked over to the little church,
and the good parson made us one.
81 will never forget our little cottage

me,-a low, log house with sloping

DAIRY

In the early period of cows life it is
an important thing to establish long
milk flow, one which will extend almost
from calf to calf. A little rest is neces.
sary, but her capacity for 10 months
should make up for that time of rest.
Give her comfortable life and succu-
lent food. During her rest time feed
dry food chiefly, and let her recover her
general systemic vigor.
Some are growing cautious about the
feeding of cotton seed meal, alleging
that it produces garget and lumpy I'D
ders, etc. This is mistake, but for
other reasons it should be fed to dairy
cows in moderation-it will faint the
milk if given too freely. A quart, with
a mixture of other food is about right.
II it was generally known that corn
fodder was almost as valuable as hay.
more pains would be taken to save it.
1t is extravagantly wastefui to neglect
fodder which is worth halI cent hill.
There is good in everything which moth
or nature offers us, but it takes pinching
times to urge us to the discovery, or to
the effort of trying to know. Do not
rush off your cows or stock Of any kind.
Supplement the little prepared rations
you have stored away by liberal sup
ply of straw from the wheat stack, which
is generally counted of so little worth.
Mixed with some of that cheap wheat,
we'll ground, it will keep any stock nice
ly through the winter. Some one is 60
ing to make money out of the troublous
times; why not you?
Find shelter for your cows; shelter
saves feed, and feed is money. Animal
heat must be sustained; liberal feeding
will do it, but less food is required with
warm, comfortable quarters. Warm
water is a great help, too. How many
animals we see standing shivering
through the storms; the thoughtless
owner never stops to count the cost.
Then look at the humane side Of it.
Adaptability to all climates is char
acteristic of the Jersey COW worthy of
notice. The summer heat of the South
and the rigorous winters Of Canada
alike seem to have no effect on her use
fulness. She is small, and will thrive in
a space where larger cows would do
poorly. and it requires less amount
Of food to supply her with heat in win

Commercial Value of Mummies.

Even dead men have a commercial
value nowadays. From the mummies of
ancient Egypt is manufactured kind
of paint called mummy brown" 1t can
be purchased at any shop where artists
materials are sold. For some time it
was alleged that the mummies employed
for this purpose we're those of birds and
beasts, such as cats and ibses; but an

subject found in some of the raw stuff

HORTICULTURE.

The city fathers provide shady parks
and sheltered streets, but many farmer
plants his house in the open field and
gives his wife and children not single
tree. Does he never long for the shade
and the grass himself after his long stay
in the sunny field? Let there be
thought of the beauty Of it, if there is no
signing for comfort.
Oaks are hard to transplant, but the
pin oak and the swamp white oak are
exceptions. Nearly all birches and ma
pies are easily removed. Set them about
the dooryard and for shade in the barn.

and foresight to the home. While at it.

in convenient place and order for the

Varieties of Strawberries seem to de
generate when cultivated for long time
in one locality; often plants of the same
kinds. brought from distance, will do
much better. The kinds famous 20
years ago have nearly all disappeared.
We can not tell just why this is SO, but
it is we'll to be raising new seedlings
continually.
There is no use setting strawberry
plants in shallow soil, and unless the
ground is pretty free from perennial
weeds they become an unbearable
abomination. If the plants can be set
out with a ball of earth, they may be
put out in the fall and produce good
crop next summer; otherwise wait until
spring, for they will have plenty of time
to mature for the coming season.
Having small hot house, the earliest
experiments in forcing fruits and vegeta-
bles should be with tomatoes. They
are easily handled, and are very profta-
BILE. Twenty four good plants should
produce one bushel a week, and the
earlier ones will sell for good, round
price.
Rhubarb. asparagus and Strawberries
are three excellent things which can be
grown with little trouble, and should
have place in every garden and upon
every farmers table in their season.
Many thing would add new delight
to his monotonous life which does not
come under the head of luxuries.
Plant first an abundant and diverse
supply of fruit trees for home use, for
there is as much profit in this as in those
planted for sale, but plant neither un-
less you intend to cultivate and feed
them. 1t is useless and wasteful to do
otherwise.
Nearly all pears like bananas, do bet
ter if picked from the tree before thor
oughly ripened, and in this way can be
preserved much longer and easier. They
will keep for months after other fruit
has decayed if placed in cold storage.
Cold, dry air checks ripening and retards
decay.
When about to put out fruit trees, do
not wait for some lying agent to come
along and tell you what you want, and
ask you high price for them, but study
trustworthy catalogues and search out
the best varieties, and send for them.
Neither is it policy ever to buy seconds,
even for the sake of saving few cents;
they take up as much land, grow more
slowly, and amount to less in the end.

Suicide of Joseph Gibson.

Belmont Bee
On Saturday, March "A, the sad
news reached us of the suicide of
Joseph Gibson, son of VIM. Gibson, a
prominent farmer living about seven
miles northwest of Belmont. The
cause of his rash act was mental de-
rangement. For some time he has
acted strangely but he was always of
a quiet nature no one suspicioned that
he would do harm to himself or any
one. Joseph was a young man
of splendid character and habits, Il
graduate of the Plattevile Normal
school, The funeral took place at
Platteville on Tuesday.

G. II. Phinney now has the most con-
venient meat market ever fitted up in this
city. Beside marble slabs, counters, meat
racks and other appliances recently added
for the rapid handling of business, the great
addition to the equipment are the refriser-
ators.
A small one occupies window and is
used for displaying goods. A larger one in
the other window is arranged for eggs. but
ter, cheese, etc. In the rear, is the corned
beef and salt pork box, the meats being in
tanks constantly surrounled with ice and
ice water.
In the middle of the room is the master
piece, a long rectangular refrigerator box,
with glass doors in movable top. 1t con-
tsins about 2200 pounds of ice. on which
rests marble slabs and on the latter all
kinds of meats already cut and ready for
the customer. 1t is one of the finest ar
rangements imaginable and will save lots
of time to both the clerks and customers.
The market is lighted by electricity and
the atmosphere is kept at the proper tenn
perature by an electric fan.
The whole shop is a model of neatness
and convenience and Mr.. Phinney deserves
the rushing business that he is doing.

ing business in very short time and de-
velop beyond the capacity of the present
quarters. 1t is the B. & L., stove polish,
which is manufactured in this city and was
invented by Howard Bruce.
A company was formed last spring with a
capital of $4,000, s20lO being paid in.
The company had meeting few days ago
and L. H. Dudley was elected president and
Col. A. S. Bangs as manager.
The polish has proved good seller, l0,-
900 bottles being disposed of during the
past few months. The company recently
ordered 200 gross of bottles, part of which
have been received. 1t is sold by nearly
all Of the leading grocers of the State, and
the demand for it is on the increase. 1t is
manufactured in the basement of Dudley &
Lynn's store, under the supervision of the
originator, Howard Bruce.
