WIFE OF OHIO'S GOVERNOR.

T T ALT a dozen years before the
Fl civil war broke out Dr.. john
- 4 Ludlow kept the best known
drug store in Springfield, Ohio. lie
had a daughter, Ellen, an exceptionally
pretty girl, who combined with her
beauty a charming personality, much
intelligence and that Irresistible fem
kanine trait, a ready wit. In short, she
was a Springfield belle, in every mean
ing of the word. DR.. Ludlow at the
same time employed as a clerk Asa
Bushnell, then about 20 years Old. Inc
clerk was not slow to see NJ appre-
ciate the beauty, wit and lovely CHAR
acter of his employers daughter. n
in turn liked the young man who drew
soda water and sold herbs and medl-
cines. Loves course did not u smooth
for them at first. DR.. Ludlow was an
f. f. O. and young Bushnell was a
stranger from York State, about whom
little was known, and worse than that,
whose prospects were not what is call
ed lattering. The apothecary didn't
show much of an inclination to i'm

Vary the Diet of Cows.

Milk is composed of certain solids
and water, and, to produce it, we must
give a cow such foods as contain these
clements; that is, heterogeneous foods,
says the Connecticut Farmer. Those
which make fat will not produce milk.
nor are they of much value for manur-
ial purposes. Another point: Do not
make the mistake of giving every COW
in the herd the quantity or the same
formulated ration. One COW will re-
spond in milk, another will not; one
will digest it all, another will not. And
still another point: Give the COW, if you
possibly can, a variety. She relishes
a change, and, if it is a proper one, will
do better for it. None of us want pie
at every meal, although the pie be ever
so good; so with the cow, she likes
an occasional change in her diet. Give
it to her.

Patience with Teams.

The quality of farm help is more
nearly tested by its ability to manage a
team without abusing it than by any
other one thing. The horse is a senSi-
tive, nervous animal, and if abused,
as it often is, it soon becomes restless,
and finally obstinate and vicious. a
great many horses are ruined by the
poor quality of farm help, which is low
so common. If better help cannot be
procured it may be necessary to do as
is done by Southern farmers, breed
mules, which will resent i'll treatment
so promptly that they will be less like
ly to be abused than is the horse.

Feeding Corn.

Corn is one Of the foods that are too
rich in the heat and fat producing
elements, says the Ohio Farmer. It
needs something that contains more
Of the bone and Understanding ele-
ments to make it a good ration. Now,
the scientist tells us that the exceS OF
carbohydrates will be stored up in the
system as fat. This is, in a measure,
true. But all of us common ~hayseeds
know that in practice, if an animal
be fed an exclusive corr diet, the stor-
ing-up process goes right on all right
for a time. Then the appetite becomes
clogged, there is a discouraging check
in growth, and the animal takes an un.
thrifty appearance.
Something besides corn should be fed
as the grain ration, for the sake OF
variety if for no other reason. Relish
has a great influence on digestion, and
al animal will not eat with a good rel
ish when fed on a single food for any
great length of time.

Breeding House for Poultry,

Small breeding houses have come to
be considered almost a necessity upon
the average farm as we'll as in the
yards Of the fancier. The farmer has
learned that it is economical and much
more satisfactory to pick from his
flock the most promising pullets and a
well-bred male and place them in a
commodious yard with a snug little
house of their own. From this yard
will come all the eggs that can be used
for Matching. The eggs from hens hav-
ing the entire range of the farm may
be disposed of in the general market
and used for household purposes.
The accompanying illustration is of
a small breeding house, which has
been in use for three years. 1t was
originally a large organ box and has
been made over somewhat. Very lit
tie extra material was needed to COM
plete it. A half sash, tar paper, hinges,
hook and staple, and a few boards

Pampering Young Pigs,

The young pig should have enough
feed to maintain thrift, but he should
not be fed as if he were being fatten-
ed. The digestion of young pigs is
weak. and if oyerfed at this time, es-
pecially with corn, they will become
stunted and prove profitable an
imals. The feed for young pigs should
not be concentrated. Give them a
small proportion of grain and wheat
middlings, with enough milk and dish
water to distend their stomachs and
keep their digestion in good condition.
A pig should be eight or nine months
old before it will be safe to feed it
heavily with corn.

to do away with all blowing of folds, it
yields at the strokes of the pedal, SO
that there is not the usual pull Of the
scant skirt. The only folds are two at
the back, which fall from the waist
line at either side of the saddle when
the rider is seated, and which make
the necessary relief Of drapery when
she is d~ismOunted. The armholes of
the jersey are very large, and the
absolutely no pull over the shoulder.
A little Zouave jacket with conven-
tional sleeves is slipped on over the jer-
sey. This is cut short at the hips and
hangs without in-fitting under the arms.
Its open fronts are laced together loose
ly, that they may not catch the wind.
The jacket is made Of any material
that harmonizes with the color and
quality Of the jersey garment. A be-
coming "watch-cap," a little jersey
knit affair, clings to the head, holding
its place without pins or elastic. Jer-
sey top shoes, and big soft gloves COM
plete a costume that in well chosen col
or is not only stunning-on a good fig
ure especially so-but practical and
modest.
The final sketch is of a sort Of cos
tune that will be more generally worn
than any other. No attempt is made to
attain the picturesque in this model,
but the bodice may be altered to suit
individual taste, the most important
feature Of the rig being it's skirt. The
front breadth is full and plain, but the
back breadth is divided with three full
pleats on either side. 1t is essential
that this skirt be sufficiently full at
the hips to permit the pleats to fall in
straight lines through their full length.

Tapping Trees Twice.

When the tapping of maple trees was
done with an axe, chopping a cash in
the maple and fixing a spout to con-
duct the sap to the bucket, a few sea-
sons sufficed to so sea- the tree as to
greatly injure it's future growth and
value. And after all, less sap was
procured by this method than by those
now used, which scarcely make a scar
at all. A half-inch bit, boring into the
tree at a slight angle above horizontal,
will gather the sap best. 1t is not I'M
common to put two or even three spouts
into some of the best trees. If the
spouts are withdrawn and the holes are
filled, a healthy tree will grow over
the wound in a year or two, so as to
leave a very small scar.

Wheat in Drills,

Nearly all winter wheat is nov sown
by the drill. There are many advan-
tages in this method of putting in the
crop over broadcasting. Not the least
of these is that it affords so good OPP
p~ortunity to drill mineral fertilizers in
contact with the seed where they will
greatly stimulate its early growth
But the most important advantage is
that the drill leaves the wheat in a hol-
low where it can be slightly protected
against all but the severest freezes
The ridge each side of it is mellowed by
the frost, and when rains come it is
washed down over the wheat roots.
This is greatly helped by narrowing the
wheat early in the spring so soon as the
ground is dry enough.

Of the back wheel. This picturesque
creature usually supplemented her at
fractions by wearing a sash around her
pinched-in waist, and it's ends added to
the general radiation of insanities that
attend her progress. She breathed
hard, her mouth was set, her back was
bowed out, her chest was bowed in, her
knees were spread, her neck was crook
ed, her wheel ratified, and so did her
bones, probably. Altogether, she was a
sight, but one. of which we are seeing
less and less.
While she Wobbled her wildcat way
the disapprovers Of the wheel felt she
was a circulating sermon bound to win
for them their cauSe-Without any help
from themselves, and it did seem so,
for this nut-cracker damsel did appear
to accomplish all the crimes possible
to the wheel. She concentrated all the
queerness to be dreamed of in the night
mare of her rig, and she did herself as
much violence as possible in her ap-
pearance and effort, but she added to
the excitement Of life and even in the
midst of our admiration for the trim
athletic Miss Modesty who takes her
place, we do sigh for her sometimes;
she was such a pleasant distraction for
those who didn't know her.
But the first points to be considered
in a bicycle costume by it's wearer are
the practical ones. After those are set
tied to the comfort Of the rider, there
may be some thought taken Of the on
lockers. These years novel get-ups are
guided by this order Of consideration,
and while the picturesque is not neg
lected, it is subordinated to the prac-
teal. One of these new rigs is shown

between bodice and skirt over which
to worry, and no drag from under the
arms to the waist, which cannot be
avoided in any fitted and unelastic

for many a back ache that has been
laid to the exercise, the gown not be-
ing suspected.
