On October 10 last the archduchess

by Count Thun and Count Boncquci, as
court commissioners of the viceroy of
Bohemia. The exercises were elaborate

wASTEFuL DAlRYMEN.
Two Ways of Doing the Same Thing Do
scrIbed md Illustrated.

Two Ways of Doing the Same Thing Do
scribsd and illustrated.
This article is respectfully dedicated
to the dairymen of the country, re.
marking by the way that the illustra'
tion of Peter Tumbledown's barn is
little exaggerated, but not beyond a
condition all are liable to reach who
pursue his method. Rain from the
caves is conveying his manure down
into the nearest ravine. This will save
him the labor of carting it to the fields.
Just now the poor man is having hard
time. There is a depression in the
barnyard where he has to walk when
coming to the barn or returning from
it. 1t is filled with black solution OF
COW manure. He has to drain it away
or wade through it. The latter would
be the easier way and he would con-
tinue to do SO were it not for the fear
of his patient wife, Nancy, who has
said so many times: "Now, Peter, just
look at your nasty boots!" This part
of the picture is not overdrawn. The
"Peters" are very numerous. The rents
in his barn covering furnish plenty of
fresh air and sunshine for his COWS, and
"them book fellers' say these are
necessary to prevent tuberculosis. But
not all Peters are just like this one.
There are many grades of them.
Cows pass half the year in the stable,
and here is where they are fed all the
grain they get. The quality of the
manure, of course, depends much upon
the amount of grain fed. l think any
| observing farmer would indorse me in
saying that on the average where man.
ure is thrown under the caves, as in
Peters case, there is easily an annual
loss of fertility by teaching as much in
value as five dollars per COW. A roof
to cover the manure as represented in
one of the illustrations can be erected
| for so cents a cow. Now 20-cow
dairyman who throws the manure
under the caves loses nearly $10o year

Tho Way to Drink Milk.

Many complain that they cannot
drink milk without its disagreeing with
them. The most common reason why
milk is not readily digested is that it
is taken too rapidly and it enters the
stomach and becomes one solid mass
difficult of digestion. If it is slipped it
is so divided on reaching the stomach
that when coagulated, as it must be by
the gastric juice while digestion is go
ing on, instead of being in one hard
mass it is more in the form of a sponge
and in and out of the entire bulk the
gastric juice can perform its duties.
