CHANGES IN HALF A CENTURY.
Striking Difference In Conditions Between
Germany and the United States.

strlklnE DlHerenCe IN NOnulliOnS between
Germany and the United States.
Here is a very curious incident which
places the difference between the home
life of Germany and America in start
ling contrast.
About so years ago, when Anton Web
Der was n boy, he secreted in the attic
pair of pistols. Tney were valuable
because they had been used by his ia
Their during the Napoleonic wars. The
pistols were in danger OF being sold and
so the boy Anton confiscated and hid
them. The affair was, of course, for
gotten i'm the course of time. and Anton
came to America to seek fame and for
tune.
Half century has passed, and year
ago Anton had Il strong desire to visit
his native land and the old home of his
childhood. He found everything un-
changed, the house in good repair and
still occupied by the remnants of the
family. Recalling the story of the pis-
tolls. he visited the attic one day an
after n good deal of rummaging found
them just where he had hidden them,
He holds them, naturally, as Il worry
sacred relic, and probably money could
not buy them. If they could tell their
story they would have n great deal 10
relate that would startle and interest
But such an Incident could not pos
sibly occur in this country. Nobody
literally nobody, lives where he lived 81
years ago. The old residences down
town have changed hands dozen times
or sheen torn down to make way for
commercial enterprises. The populs-
ton has flowed northward in n sort Of
tidal wave and there is not relic left
of the earlier days. Our restlessness
comes from our prosperity. The pee
pie have been crowded out of the old
localities in order 10 make room for

But in Germany so years in some se''-
tions make no perceptible change. The

COLD STORAGE HOUSE.

The side sheds under the roof are use
full for storing empty barrels, crates,
tools, etc.
A strong lattice door is provided be-
hind the inside solid door to lock up
nights when ventilating. The close
doors being opened at both ends in au-
tumnal nights and when not too cold
in winter. When the room is thus flied
with cold air it is held in by the tight
doors.
A dark room is preferable. If win
dows are put in they should be of double
glass and have shutters over them.
On a well-drained sight the floor
should be below the surface and an
eight-inch sub-air duct run out several
rods with an adjustable ventilator in
the ceiling.
A room like this that will maintain
an equable tempera ture during tie
weeks preceding cold weather, especial
ly during the Indian summer, as it is
called, and made frost-proof, is better
than an icehouse. 1t is the sudden and
great changes in the temperature nights
and days which is destructive to fruit.
Ice-stored fruits held at low tempera-
lures will not stand exposure long in
market and the storage is much more
costly.

NEW COW DISEASE.
In Many Instances 1t Completely Ruins
the Milk Flow.

In Many Instances IL Completely Ruins
the MIX Flow.
From all quarters comes the coma
plant that q new disease is making it's
appearance among the cows, affecting
their teats and udders, and often COM
pletely running the milk flow of the
COW. The trouble is in the nature of
garget, but commences in an entirely
different way. A small sore like blis-
ter commences at the very end of the
teat, and refuses to heal, closing the
channel, and to get the milk it has to be
torn open each time. The disease works
its way up inside the teat, the inflamma-
ton getting more marked, and at last
gaining admission TO the udder; the in
tlammatory stages are rapid, and all
the troubles of u real case of garget are
present; with this disadvantage. the
flow of milk does not return with the re-
duction of the fever in the milk glands.
All treatment seems to be of little avail,
and the cow is ruined. While hot water
and like treatment is valuable, it is too
late to prevent the loss, and treatment
must commence at the first appearance
Of the little blister. Take an ounce of
carbolic acid crystals and warm them
to liquid and TO this add an ounce of
glycerin. Mix this in ten ounces of lin
seed oil; and then with a small glass
syringe inject some of it into the end
of the teat at least three times q day,
first washing and cleaning the teat as
well as can be done. This disease seems
to be another of germ origin, and as the
carbolic acid is death to germs, the
trouble is arrested at the start. In some
sections this disorder is very trouble
some, and in our own stable one of our
best cows has lost two quarters Of her
udder, despite our efforts to cure her,
not knowing at the start the character
of the trouble or the remedy. When n
blister forms in the end of cows
teat, don't delay, but use the carbolic
acid at once.-Practical Farmer.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Keep a close watch on your trees for
the borers; a little carelessness in this
may cost you fine tree.
If you find raspberry bush with a
reddish rust on the leaves, dig it up and
burn it. If this is not done, the trouble
will spread and ruin your patch.
A good mulch around the newly-set
trees is the next best thing to plenty
of water in time Of drought. Spread it
out three or four feet on each side of the
tree.
The largest market is not always the
best one. For an average grade of
produce the consumers in a small town
will often pay better prices than can
be obtained in city markets..
Toads are no small help in Kidding
vices of bugs. They like boards for
shelter from the sun during the day,
and at night they have feast upon all
sorts of insects which trouble the gar
den.
Decaying trees have been wonderful

digging four or five inches deep around
the base of the stem, scraping away the

with fresh wood ashes.

Literally and often?
Regarding the above subject, there
are records of carefully-conducted eX-
periments which seem TO indicate that
when cows are under natural conditions
the quantity of milk produced by them
varies more or less with the quantity
of water taken, but by no means with
perfect regularity. The most milk
seems to fall on the days next after
drinking most water. And the rec
ords show that the quality of the milk
does not vary as much as the quantity
