The Butter Cow.

liz making choice of suitable cows
for a butter dairy, the digestive organs
are important Where these are de-
fective good milk cows are rarely met
with, since these organs have pow
erful influence, not merely on all the
functions of the body, but more es-
pecialiy on the secretion of the milk
gland. A good state of the digestive
organs is shown by moderate-sized
belly, with yielding sides; large
mouth, thick and strong lips, a good
appetite, easy and quick digestion,
glossy hair, supple skin, with kind
of unctuous touch. The constitution
should be sound, and this is implied
by large lungs, broad and prominent
chest, somewhat slow respiration,
and great inclination to drink-an
inclination stimulated by an abundant
secretion of milk. Preference should
be given to {; COW with small bones.
fine and slender limbs, and tail fine at
the base; head small, but long, mar
rowing towards the horns, and horns
themselves of a bright color, tapering
finely; small neck and shoulder,
slender, especially near the head
prominent eye, and a gentle, feminine
expression.-Dixie Farmer.

Well to Remember.

What is good for one is not always
good for another. This is illustrated
In a short tale told some time ago about
a French medical student. While in
London on visit the student lodged
in the house with man very sick with
a fever, who was continually besieged
by his nurse to drink very nauseating
liquids which were lukewarm. The
sick man found this almost impossible
to do. until one day he whispered to
his nurse:
bring me salt herring and will
drink as much as you please"
The woman INDUCED him in his re-
request; he ate the herring, drank the
liquids, underwent the required per-
SEPARATION, and recovered.
The French student, thinking this
very clever, inserted in his journal:
"Salt herring cures an Englishman OF
fever"
On his return to France he prescribed
the same remedy to his first patient
with a fever. The patient died. On
which he inserted in his journal: IN
B.-A salt herring cures an English
man, but kills Frenchman."-Har
per's Round Table.

Reading Tor Children.

/ had recently in my service pretty
little housemaid, barely 10 years old,
neat, capable and good-tempered, but
50 perpetually downcast that she threw
a cloud over our unreasonably cheer
full household. 1 grew melancholy
watching her at work. One day, going
into the kitchen, saw lying open on u
chair, book she had just been reading.
It purported to be the experience Of
a missionary in one of our large cities
and was divided into nine separate
stories. These were their titles, cop
led verbatim on the spot: ''The Infidel,"
"The Dying Banker" THE Drunkard's
Death" 1.-THE Miser's Death" THE
Hospital" "The Wanderers Death"
"The Dying Shirtmaker," THE Broken
Heart" 1.-The Destitute Poor" What
wonder that, like the Scotcbman's fa-
nous dag, "life was full O. seriousness"
for her, when religion and literature,
the two things which should make up
the sum of our happiness, had con-
spired, under the guise of Sunday
school fiction, to destroy her gayety OF
heart?-Agnes Reppiler, in Scribner's.

A great development 10 now going on ID
tho Coast Country of Texas, especially that
portion known as the Diamond district"
This IL q section with Houston and Gal
Diamond, the west side being bounded by
the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Railroad and
the east side by Buffalo bayou, San Jacinto
bay and Galveston bay. Less than four
years ago this was great cow pasture, be-
Ing one Of the richest grazing countries on
the face OF the globe. Only few isolated
small farms existed, but they were produc-
Ing phenomenal results, not only with the
southern staples Of corn, cotton, oats and
sugar, but more particul rly with early
fruits and vegetables In factit was demon
strated beyond any doubt that the net rev.
enue produced yearly from ten or twenty
acres would equal and In many cases ex-
coed that of the ordinary quarter section In
the north. People Of all trades and profes.
sions In the north were attracted toward
south Texas by the successful result OF the
jetties at Galveston, which increased the
depth OF the water In that harbor to more
than twenty seven feet, deep enough for the
largest vessels and the rapid advance Of
commercial prosperity In both Houston and
Galveston. These people were not slow tc
see the agricultural possibilities in the Dia'
mond district above referred to, and the re
suits of the past four years, depressing as
they had heen financially speaking, had beer
astounding. Houston has doubled her popu
lation, Galveston has done nearly as well
and the intermediate country is dotted
throughout the entire Diamond district with
hundreds Of small farms in the highest stat
OF cultivation Railroad and water facilities
are ample and reasonable, and the inhabi
tants of that district are within an hour'
ride Of the two largest as well as the Metro
poiitan cities of Texas. Within its border

FROZEN MUTTON.
Preparation of the New Zealand Product
for the Market.

for the Market.
: The reason why Argentine mutton
generally is of inferior price to that OF
New Zealand has three-fold explana.
ton. In the first place New Zealand
possesses to-day a mutton-producing
breed superior to that known in the
Plate. In the second, the New Zealand
err feeds his stock during the winter
time with extra forage, while in the Ar,
gentine the sheep are allowed to Craze
upon the same bare pampa during the
dead season. The result of this is that
the New Zealander produces an even,
well-grown carcass, while there is sent
home from the Plate one upon which a
Tasty covering of fat has been put dur
ing the spring months of the year. The
difference between the two carcasses
will readily be noted by anyone who
pays a visit to the cattle market. Third
ly, the freezer in New Zealand freezes
the mutton on account of the breeder;
and in the Argentine the freezer buys
from the breeder. The disadvantage oil
the latter system, so long as the breeder
has no knowledge of the requirements
of the market, is apparent. The New
Zealand breeder selects his wethers
with care, rejecting any which will give
an inferior weight, or which are IN
sufficiently fattenec for the butcher
He RENTS them in small droves to the

| cover it. This should be done two or

cover 1t. This should be done Two or
three weeks before planting time, so
as to let rain enough come to wet the
fertilizers thoroughly. Too much
stress can not be placed upon this.
Cotton beds shed water, and should
the guano be put down just ahead Of
the planter it will take good rain TO
wet the fertilizers. Fertilizers should
be wet to aid decomposition and render
them soluble, thus pre- paring them for
the plant roots. BY reversing the beds
two burrows with turn pillow we
have a good, fresh seed bed, into
which should be put plenty of good,
sound seed. We have often run
triangular harrow on top of the bed
with good results. This should be
done just as the cotton is coming up.
If dry crust has formed it aids the
cotton to come up and kills the first
crop of grass just as the seed are
sprouting. The cotton can thus be
clipped out clean, and by rapid culti-
walton with the plows after this, hoe
work can be largely dispensed with.
The first blowing can best be done
with small sweep. after which use
sweep wide enough to clean out a
middle with two burrows. By this
means we never ''split middles" but
once year. Cotton should be
''laid by" one furrow to the row, sow
| ing rye ahead of the plows. The
rye will prevent winter teaching and
washing, and will furnish excellent
pas.urage for hogs and sheep, also
answers as a green manuring for the

ard after that the best way ito
handle it, is to sell it when the mar.
ket is highest
The small grains fed the world for
ages before cotton and corn were
heard of and should receive now more
attention than they do. As we wish
to SOW the corn field of the previous
season we must again remove the
stalks for slower and harrow. Then
SOW the small grain down, plow in
shallow and again harrow. The
writer prefers to plant wheat, rye
and oats in this way. If fertilizers
are used, SOW it on the ground
ahead of the harrow. 1t is then
near the surface where it car
be readily decomposed by the slight
warmth of the winters sun, and a.
easily reached by the roots of surface
feeding crops. Top dress all small
grain in the spring with a mixture O.
nitrate of soda and some form of pot
ash. This will not only secure good
crop of small grain, but will be o
great benefit to the succeeding crop o
peas.
Any method of rotation that leave
out the common COW pea is fatally de
fective. All stubble land should b.
sown in peas at the rate of one bushe
of seed to the acre. Sow the peas thicl
enough to crowd out the grass; yol
wish to improve your land as well a
to make hay, and then crab grass stub

wish to plant cotton. This system O
rotation is not perfect; of its Difficult
