Veterans at q Barbecue.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 16.-While the
Ladies Of the Grand Army and the
Woman's Relief Corps, as well us the
national encampment proper, con-

was a special attraction for those
who are not delegates in either

devoted to the biggest "old Kentucky
barbecue" that was ever spread.
The committee on pensions made a
volumino Gus report in which the order
voices its solemn protest against any
policy which will impair or diminish
the liberal provisions made dur

burdens and restrictions imposed upon
pensioners by recent constructions

fIHE FARMING WORLD:
THE ART or MILKING.

Ttapidity Is the Ckicf Deslderatum Of All
Methods.
All have learned from experience
that the yield of milk from COW, and
even to a large extent the quality Of
the same, depends very much on the
manner in which she is milked. Con-
filming our attention at this point, to
the actual handling Of the teats for the
forcing out of the milk, there are four
ways thatmay be adopted, though two
of them may be co8.bined at the one
operation, said Mr.. Primrose McCon-
nell at the recent meeting of the
British Dairy Farmers association.
These four are (a) stripping, ~
squeezing, (c) wet method (d) dry
method. In the stripping method the
fingers and thumb are forcibly drawn
down the teat and the milk squirted
out; but the operator resembles man
at the pump from the way in which
his arms. elbows and shoulders are
moving, and he sometimes gives one
the idea that he is drawing the milk
down from the very horns of the cow.
The squeezing method Tor "nievling,"
|as 1t is called in Scotland). IS Infinitely
superior. In it the operator grasps
the teat and squeezes it only, without
any pulling arms and elbows
never moving. There is no jerking
and no cessation of the sound, for. the
stream is started from the one teat be-
fore It Is stopped to take new hold at
the other. The wet or dry method
may either of them be employed coma
bined with either Of the two others
above mentioned.
Cows, in a state of nature, are wet
MIXED; they are wet nurses to their
own calves, which in the act of SIX
ing wet the tea t-and a great .any
more times daily than in this case Of
hand milking. In practice, even If
dry milking were desirable, it is inn
possible to obtain mixers who can
use this method, and we have to put
up with such as we can obtain.
Cleanliness of the milk is great
desideratum to be aimed at, and for
this end some recommend that the
udders be wiped or brushed before
milking begins. In connection with
the operation of milking two points
are gentleness and quiclxness; indeed,
Of the two quickness is the chief, for q
quick worker can seldom be bad one.
milking should be done quickly, quiet
|sly and thoroughly. Cows should be
milked indoors; it is more comfortab BILE
for them, and for the attendants to dc
SO, while they can be more easily fed
with whatever extra food they are
getting. Cows should be milked
twelve hours apart, but an. hour or sc

it is kept toregularly. There can be

FOR DESTROYING WEEDS.

a New Style Of Shovel Which Does It's
Work to Perfection.
For several years past we have been
puzzled each season how best to con-
Fquer the wild morning glory, wild
sweet potato and number of suolken-t
ing weeds that infest ours as well as
numbers of other fields that lie along
streams subject to overflow. Narrow
shovels such as are used for shallow
cultivation are of no value to us among
such weeds, and wide shovels are but
little better, and they leave the ground
in a very unsightly condition.
Last season / fell onto the idea of
utilizing an old cross-cut saw by. maxi
ing it up into shovels as shown in the
cut, but on account of many stones
and few roots they proved rather un-t
satisfactory, bending every time they
struck an obstacle. Not daunted by
my partial failure, this season I

! ABOUT SHADE TREES.

Do Not Set Them So rs to Keep Sunshine
y from the House.
The fashion of setting shade trees is
becoming almost universal, and II is
one that should be encouraged, for
they are both picturesque and useful,
and add much to the appearance Of .
home. When this is being done,
though, care should be taken not to
set the trees where they will be in the
way at some future time. When set
ting trees, try to imagine show they
will look when full grown and then
you can easily determine where they
j should stand. The primary object of
shade treessiis, of course, the cool
shade they provide, but this is some
! thing that can be easily overdone. We
know 81 more than one house that Is
shaded until it is gloomy, and that is
not the object of shade about house.
AS sunshine is the greatest and best
disinfectant and deodorizer, the trees
should be set so as to allow the sun to
strike every part Of the house and
shine into every wind owt,that it could
reach if the trees were not there.
/. Again the trees should be set. in places
where they will never interfere with
views from the windows Of the house
unless there may be some that 1t issde-
sirable to use the trees as q screen ITO
hide. In such cases. evergreen trees
make the best living screens, for they
are there the year through. Too many
trees in 9 yard is not as bad as none,
but they spoil the effect.
We have many natural trees that
make perfect shade trees, and the
nurseries furnish many ornamental
sorts that look well in d yard. .s, s
Set shade trees BY al means but dc
not SGT them 30 as to keep sunshine
from the house and spoil Your ntloolk.
