If the cost OF food fed q COW and cost
value of her products be, as we believe
they are, the chief factors in successful
dairying,' then the best breed still re-
mains practically unknown to US. Tais
breed is the Kerry. They arc the
original Irish mountain COW, improved
by careful breeding. They are very
small, but the English esteem them very
highly as mixers. At the recent Lon.
don dairy show they carried of all the
prizes, giving the largest yield of milk
and butter fat, in proportion to weight,
OF any breed tested. They are credited
for the past few years Will always carr
ing of first honors in every public con.
test against the special milk breeds. We
remember a COW of this breed in orr
youth that belonged in Saratoga County
and her milk was always reserved for the
use OF the family that owned her. Our
memory recalls her as a great butter
maker, her milk being, IN the language
of the women folks, as ''rich as c~ean."

peODl. Who Survived scalDins.

In San Francisco there lives a man
at the present time named Carroll
Bronson q pioneer of the Selkirk
Mountains, in British Columbia. who
was Scalped by the Sioux Indians in
1865, and still enjoys comparatively
good health, although more than
sevsnty-Aye years of age. He was
quite an Indian fighter in his time and
his face is SCARED with arrow wounds
received In many a hard fought battle.
The marking Of the scslping is not
visible except when he lifts his long,
white hair from the side Of his head,
then it shows . Gfeat circular scar ex-
tending from akove his right eye
around the right ide and back of his
head almost to- he left ear. Mr..
Bronson tells OF ynother man who was
scalped at the sakns time he was. The
scalp was torn completely of from ths

Hen manure, mixed with dry earth,
and shoveled over a few times, to secure
its pulverizatioD, makes an excellent
dressing for the lawn. 1t promotes a re-
msrkable growth of grass, making it
thick, and giving it a deep, rich color.
As a quick starter for crops, it is
valuable, but its force is quickly ex.
hausted. While it will help start a crop
of corn, assisting in its early maturity,
the wise farmer relics upon some other
fertilizer. Good stable manure, plowed
in, with a little hen manure in the hill,
to start the growth, insures a heavy and
early-maturing crop.-American Agri.

Bad Time For a Boy 70 Laugh.

As n matter Of fact q boy never
should laugh at his father until he (the
boy is eighteen years of age at least.
Earlier than that, according to the
Minneapolis Tribune, it is not safe.
"A bow over near the university has for
several evenings stood up to eat his
meals. and all because he neglected

allow any familiarities while feeding,

position, backed up against him, the
colt dashed out with both feet. The
man stood SO near that tho kick broke
no bones, but he was shot as from

In nearly all cases it is best to set

CIsTEKNS UNDER aAnNs.

Every barn should have q cistefn
under 1t, and especially il the barn have
q basement for wintering stock. With
suitable contrivances, a supply of pure
water may be provided so that the water
Is shut on automatically when the vessel
is filled to a certain height. This ii
done by a wooden valve resting on the
water, and buoyed up by it so that tho
water is shut off whenever it Is needed.
Such cisterns under barns have often
furnished the water promptly so as to
save serious losses from fire,-B 'g4or

CLOVER BEST FOR HOGS.

Glover is the best crop that a man
can raise, and to handle hogs on a farm
with profit you should have plenty of
clover. The clover pasture should be SO
arranged with fences SO as to be in small
pastures, so as not to have too many
hogs together and that the hogs can eat
down one field; then turn them into a
fresh field and let the first field rest.
This will pay for all the extra fencing,
as hogs will not need a high or strong
fence when well cared for.
. I would suggest, says J.. p. Pressler,
IF Curran, H., a portable fence, such as
rails. y A pasture of twenty acres or
| more of clover in one field and hogs
enough to eat it will waste and run over
a good deal of it, where twenty acres in
, four fields OF Eve acres each will feed
twice as many hogs aud do better, aud

hogs of all ages and size running in the
