Feb. II, givrgit to our dairy of 15cows,
including one COW that we were iatting,
for or 10 days. We soon began to see
an increase in the quantity of milk oil
from 10 to II per cent.
We were at first in doubt whether Kow.
Kure would be of much benefit to our
dairy, for we thought as long as we had
Ted them three to four bushels OF carrots
and maneles each day ever since cold
weath,r began, that they must be in q
very healthy condition; we soon found
that they began to eat much better ant
Of course gave more milk. We teel wei
paid for our investment, and shall con
tinue to use it. The cow we are lattinl
has been "oa her iced" for quite Ions
time, but is now eating much better. w,
advise all dairymen to give Kow-Kure t
try. Yours truly,
H. L. & D. Q. WOODRUFF.

employees of this big system. The entire
scheme is original with MIR. Mackinnon,

to state, however, whether any record
will be kept on the other side of the
ledger, of instances Of special bravery,
risk of life in the performance of duty
and similar cases, but the tone of the
order indicates that credit will be
given in all such cases, Though the cir.

Company, Of Montpelier, VT:
THE 10th annual statement of this
sound and well managed company, which
we present in another column, is replete
as ever with facts and figures that will
pleasantly interest those who can rejoice
in the triumph Of conservative methods
in life underwriting.
For many years the National has been
known as company not eager for "busi.
ness at any price" its methods have not
changed. but of late its writings OF new
insurance have rapidly increased in vol
ume, and of this we can find no explana-
ton save OF kind to which the manage
ment may point with Pride. 1t looks as
if the goods were helping to SILL them
selves, in trade parlance, and this speaks
well Tor the a>tutenesS OF those by whom
its policies are framed and launched. We
have strong and abiding faith in the

Cood for the Garden.

Don't make your onion-bed the same
place you did last year. just because
you have been making it always in that
corner of the garden. Change them
around, put your onions where you had
cabbage or tomatoes last year, and put
peas and beans where you had parsnlps
and beets. A change of ground is good
for vegetables, as change of pasture
is for sheep. All plants do not take the
same nourishment from the soil. Hence,
when one vegetable has exhausted such
properties of the soil as 1t needs the
ground is still rich in some other prop
erty that will produce a good crop of
some other kind of plant. SO we see
the necessity of rotation of garden veg
etables, and have seen its effects by try
Ing 1t. Try for yourselves and be con-
vlnced, says the National Stockman.

Soil Moisture.

Prof. w. d. Gibbs, at the farmers
convention, in Ohio, made the state
ment that it requires 1900 tons of
water to make an acre of corn. He
urged the systematic saving of the
natural moisture of the soil by eradica-
ton of the weeds. They act as so
many pumps to bring the moisture to
the surface and evaporate It, He
showed that the natural moisture of

The Silent Salisbury.

Few but Lord Salisbury's intimates
know that he is by nature one of the
most silent Of men; quite Won Moltke
in that respect. Even as boy at Elton
VANITY Fair records) he was much
given to solitary incoming through the
playing fields, with only an occasional
game of "sixpenny" cricket.
He was not popular generally, ex-
cept with his own form, for which he
did all the work; and was always put
on by his tutor to construe, which he
did so well that no one else had to ex-
pect turn. His taciturnity has stuck
to him; and the writer remembers
that when at the India office he greatly
disappointed some high official who
had to see him on some great question.
"What do l think of him? Very little.
Why, he heard all l had to say, then
bowed me out with 'Good-morning,
and not another word"
