"SaY You Forgive Mo-"

A story Is told 10y the Independent
about the late Rev. William VI. Taylor,
Of New York, which illustrates how
heartily he obeyed the Masters words,
BE reconcllcd 10 thy brother"
1t is well known that he wns a thor
oughly conservative man in all his the
illogical views. At one OF the meetings
Of the Manhattan Association n younger
ministerial brother had read n paper In
which certain views OF insplrn ton were
expressed that did not at all meet his
approval, and he said so In very en-
phatic and not wholly courteous Ian
Ruage.
Immediately after the session camc
to n close. DIR. Taylor was nsked to
pray, which he did. AS soon as he had
finished his prayer he hurried as rap.
Idly ms he could to catch the brother
whom he had criticised, and grnsping
him by the hand, said:
81 beg your pardon for what said:
| beg your pardon for speaking ns
harshly as did"
The brother was startled, perhaps n
little confused, and bcgnn to shy that
he had taken no offcnse.
But say YOU forgive me, Say you
forgive mc"' said DIR. Taylor The as
surnnce was given. and DIR. Tnylor's
conscience and heart were relieved.

EysrrAcE FOR DAIRY cows.

The New York Agricultural Expert
mont Station has recently issued n
bulletin on the value of corn ensilagc
for feeding milch cows from which we
extract the following: The average
results secured in large number OF
feeding trials reported in this bulletin
show that corn ensilage is n decidedly
valuable food for milk production. In
general there was found an increase in
milk flow accompanying the use of
corn ensilago in the ration. and mt the
same time an increase of the amount
of fat, the percentage of fat in the
milk not diminishing. Milk was gem
orally produced mt lower cost, and the
cost of fat production was lower while
corn ensilage was fed. Tabulated data
show the amount Of each food used in
the different ratlons, the chemi cal
composition of tho rations, the amount
OF the different constituents digesti-
bic, and also the amount and compo-
sition of milk produced. Smaller
tables show tho composition of each

our AMERICAN BUTTER.

Though America has carried off tho
palm in many contests few are doubt
less aware of the fact that the finest
butter in the world is produced by
the dairy farms of the United States.
This is not mere idle boast but n
sober statement which is capable of
proof. And the best part of it is that
England, which has never been ac-
cuscd of excessive fondness for this
country, is forced to admit the supe-
riority of the American product.
Several months ago tho British
Board of Agriculture decided to mako
test of all the butter imported into
England, for the purpose of ascer-
tanning which country was entitled to
the highest award of merit.
This investigation continued for no
less than eight months, during which
time as many as 800 samples of butter
furnished by twelve different coun-
tries, were subjected to tho rigid pro-
cess of examination agreed upon by
the Board as the best method of OBJ
tanning the information desired.
As tho result of this test it was found
that six out of the twelve countries
had furnished adulterated samples,
while the remaining six had furnished
absolutely pure samples.
The countries which failed to stand
tho test were Belgium, Denmark, Ger
many, Holland, Norway and Sweden,
counted rs one. and Russia. OF these
Belgium furnished five samples, one
Of which was adulternted Denmark
inl Of f,h Ill
terated, Germany 15i samples, with
forty.three ndulterntions Holland go
samples, with sixty-six authorizations;
Norway and Sweden 100 samples, only
two of which were adulterated, and
Russia forty-nine samples, with five
authorizations.
On the other hand, those countries
which furnished absolutely pure butter
were Argentina, four samples; Austria,
iifty-seven samples; Canada, thirty
nine samples; France, sixty-two SAM
pies; Now Zealand, twenty-one sam
pies. and the United States, sixty
three samples.
OF these countries the United States
furnished the greatest number of sam
pies and is, therefore, entitled 10 the
first place on the roll of honor.
From tho foregoing figures it will
be observed that thirty.four per cent.
of the German butter was adulterat-
ed; twenty-five per cent. of the Hol-
land, and five per cent. Of the Den
mark. The last nGmol country has
always been the favorite market from
which England has obtained her sup
ply OF butter. Atlanta Constitution.

FASHION NOTES.

Green seems to be the color, par ex
cellence, this season.
Pearl, yellow and pink tan shades
nrc the correct colors IN gloves.
The sailor hat has adopted purple
band. This color is undoubtedly to be
very popular this summer
In previous seasons there has been
one style Of sailor, and only one.
This season there are many.
The plated satin corselet and the
narrow leather belt are two forms OF
waist girdlIng favored by the summer
girl.
One of white rough and ready straw
has yellow black dotted taffeta
crown, black velvet band, knots and
wings.
Tulle and chiffon, with satin edge,
are sold by the hundred yards for neck
ruches and frilling on capes, parasols
and gowns.
Yandyke collars OF ecru and white
batiste, trimmed wiS2 lace and inser-
ton, are made to wear over thin sum
mer gowns.
1t is not half bad idea in making
over u sailor to remove the straw
crown and substitute another of silk
IN any favorito hue.
Old-fashioned silk brocade is used
for waistcoats, rovers and cufTs, and
white MORE silk appears in this guise
on white alpaca gowns.
The Partisan foulards brought over
here by tho chief dressmakors are GER
tainlY very pretty, but n little too
pronounced to suit n quiet taste.
Percaline probably is the softest and
most satisfactory lining for women in
moderate circumstances Nowadays
it comes in most tints that you can
fancy.
White gowns are to be worn more
than ever this season for informal rs
well rs dressy occasions, and these are
accompanied by white hats, shoes and
pirasols.
A style Of sailor which is not at all
bad in effect has dark brim and
light crown. White and bottle green
are a smart combination. In that case
the band also is green.
in walking hats there are the far
ing brim aud bell crown, shown to ad-
vantage in white, with cornhower-
blue gros grain ribbons folded stifHy
and quilts Of chameleon hues.
Beautiful designs in Louis XVI.
trimmings nre broad bands Of black
lisse, with irregular or straight edges,
covered with natual tinted flowers, and
Renaissance lace scrolls in white.
Embroijeries Of almost any descrip.
tion are q feature Of dress trimmings
this season, aud iridescent beads,
which look SO much like opals, play
n conspicuous part in the mixtures.
Tiny shells in light pink and blue are
introduced into the embroideries, and
Paillettes and jewels of some sort APP
pear on almost everything bon

THE QUESTION or HATS

millinery mas improved with time
since the first marvellous proportions
and striking mixtures of color were
presented to view in the early spring,
and the tendency to overcrowd all
hats and bonnets with trimming is de-
creasing. Medium-sized hats with
harmonious coloring are most favored
by well-dressed people just at present,
but the larger, brighter hats will be
seen later with thin light dresses at
the fashionable summer resorts.
Flowers of every known and I'M.
known description are the reienino
element of hat decoration, but any
thing and everything which is beauti-
ful is brought into use. Aigrettes are
larger and come in all colors, and
dainty lace.edPed handkerchiefs are
prettily arranged in fan-shnped ends
to give the effect of height. Guipure
lace in shell pattern combined with
bows of green velvet is n pretty trim
ming for n yellow straw hat, and n
new ribbon in millinery is formed of
stripes Of satin and gold braid with
rows of overlapping sequiue between.
Jewelled quilts are very effective, and
larity. Lilacs and lilies of the valley
are the favorite flowers for white hats
with wide brims turned up ut the back.
All hots are worn we'll tilted over the
eyes, and bonnets are placed further
forward than they were, This modern
way of wearing the hat requires no
little study to bring out Che most be-
coming effect to the face and the most
winning results, and the young girl
who can acquire the ayt of manipulat-
ing her hat brim successfully will find
1t very useful instrument Of aid and
protection in her campaign Of summer
tlirtations. She can easily add mum
bers TO her list of proposals if she
cutiyates her hat brim to the fullest
extent.
The prettiest bonnets for elderly wo.
men have lowered brim5 forming
three points OYER the face, and are
trimmed with white or black lace aud

regards hats-in these DAYS, and
middle aged women wear low.crowned.
medium sized brims, in shades Of
green straw, trimmed with pink roses
and an abundance of foliage. Small
sengulls, gray satin, guipurc lace, and
white nigrettes are combined ON ono
white straw hat, and white paradise
p.umes, nigrettes, white tulle, and
black chiffon on another. A three
cornered hat called the Napoleon is
trimmed with two iarge ostrich plumes,
paste buckles aud a bunch of shaded
primulas. Mouyc straw trimmed with
delicate orchid and tullo of the same
shade makes q charming hat, and black
and white mixtures are very stylish.
White tulie with ostrich tips and black
velvet loops on a white straw make
perfect hat it properly arranged, and
one which can be worn with any gown.

CALVES AND GRAZING.

Grazing is ordinarily desirable for
cattle. 1t is not always best for calves
under the age of four months. While
the dam that furnishes it milk is graz.
ing on new tender grass, the calf is
better dietcd with bright, dry hay, if
old enough to eat anything in the
way of provender. The milk in such n
case Is strongly permeated by the
grass and the calf requires the dry
food TO meet tho loosening effect on
tho bowels. Dry oats ground and
bran, equal parts, mixed with hay
chopped into fine bits, makes an ex-
cellcnt ration for calves when the milk
Is made entirely from. grass in the
spring.
1t should be an established rule for
the dieting of calves under three
months old III spring, that the dams
should have daily ration of oats and
bran if grazing, or the calves must
have If they will eat the ground oats
and bran mixed with hay.
1t is an advantage, rs n rule, il both
the COWS and their young are supplied
with all the dry, clear hay or bright
oats straw that they will eat during
the entire grazing season. The amount
required will be small, ns rule. But
the digestion will often be aided, and
n tendency TO blont, dinlrhoen, and
other ills will be averted. Tho straw
stack in the pasture has saved Il great
amount of trouble on many stock
farms.
The observing stock breeder gives
faithful attention to the wants OF the
grazing youngsters. 49, Farm, Field and

AGRICULTURAL
COPiCS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
cosr OF EGGS AND MEAT.

The nutritiye value of eggs and the
cheapness of their production are
scarcely realized by the public. 1t may
seem rather improbable to state that
when meat is twenty-five cents q
pound, the food value of eggs is about
thirty-seven and half cents q dozen,
yet this seems to be the fact. A hen
may be calculated to consume ono
bushel OF corn yearly, and to lay
twelve or eighteen pounds of eggs.
This is equivalent to saying that three
and tenth pounds of corn will pro
duce, when fed to this hen, one pound
of eggs. A pound of pork, on the
contrary, requires about five and d
third pounds of corn for it's produc
ton. Judging from these facts, eggs
must be economical, and especially
fitted for the laboring man in replac
ing meat. Scientific American.
