Rules For Milking.

"Turf, Farm and Home" gives the
following rules for milking:
First Work rapidly slowness causes
loss of cream.
Second-Milk Thoroughly to the last
drop. because the last milk is the best
Third-Milk at the same time every
day.
Fourth-Mill1 crosswise that is to
say, one fore teat on the right and a
hind teat OH the left, and vice versa; the
milk THIS flows more copiously than
10y parallel milking.
Fifth-Milll with four fingers and
not with index and thumb, u fault too
common with mixers.
Sixth-Do not employ any kind of
milking machines.
Seventh-TO milk young, FESTIVE
cows, raise one of the forefeet.
Eighth-Always keep the hands
clean and also the cows udder, and all
dairy utensils.
Ninth-During milking avoid dis
tracing or disturbing the cow.
Most of these rules are unquestion-
ably sound. Regarding the fourth
there is s,lne difference of OpiIi0n,
some writers recommending the milk
ing of Il side at Il time. instead of the
method above advised. The first rule
is correct, but it should not be pushed
to an extreme. Unless the process of
milking is easy and comfortable to the
COW the results will not be of the best.
AS to the suggestion in the seventh
rule, it is perhaps It's good as amy one
method. But no one method will
work we'll with all restless or vicious
cows. TO fasten cow for milking
that has really become vicious the best
method we have ever seen tried is to
place the COW close to the side of her
stall or TO il partition with her head in
a Sanction or other tie-up), and then
put II rope through the partition and
around both legs above the ganlbrei
joint and back through the partition
or side of the stall and tie it tightly.
She can b. m lde to hist" by n strap

The greatest political battle ever
fought III modern times, in this or any
other country, has just closed, and not
withstanding the dense volume of
smoke on the field, the victory has
been so gloriously decisive in favor of
sound financial and business principles,
and in favor Of law and order; that even
at this early date, the victory is con-
elusive; and the Republican party has
added one more Of the most signal and
brilliant political victories of modern
times to it's time honored and time
gloried escutcheon of honor. The peo-
pie have spoken in no uncertain terms.
They have relegated to political obliv-
ion the party of theories and vagaries,
and have called to power that great
party, that during all the trying days
of the past has stood firm to every
principle Of good government, ever
loyal to the rights OF all the people,
regardless Of race or color or previous
humble condition, and which has been
the foster parent of every great pro-
grcssivc idea, Of Our rapidly progressing
civilization.
In this victory, the bud ling idea of
reputation Of honest debts by, dis
honest dollars or otherwise, has re-
ceived its deathiy and mortal wound.
In this victory the people already see

FARMER BROWNS DILEMMA.

We had public meetin in the school house
here last week
And Teller from the city was invited down to
speak.
He'd studied up the Subject of finance in every

And claimed that he was competent to show
us what was right.
He says this whole blamed country is a-goi1'
Straight to smash
Unless get free coinage and increase our
stock OF cash.
He's ygered odt daisy scheme and claims
twill work immense
He wants to make oar dollars cost only fifty
Cents
He'd take -four bits of silver and would run
IL through the mint
And -tamp ii plain 'oae dollar" with the Gov
ernnlen.s imprint;
The mines would dump their silver and tn =

Would grind out brand new pillars at just fifty
