A SUMMER MlLKHoUsE.
Convenient In Localities Where Natural
Spring Is Wanting.


Spring Is Wanting.
For any Of our northern states in the
summer time milkhouse built like the
one in the illustration would be very
convenient. It is adapted to situations
where there is no natural spring, but
where the water must be pumped around
the milk.
A man who has tried a small house
of this kind says of the one he built: 1t
is feet sqnare and feet high at the
caves, which is large enough for the
milk of two or three cows. The house
is built under large grape arbor, about
20 feet from my kitchen pump. The
milk tank, which is 10 inches deep
and IA inches wide at the top, ex-
tends along the north side. 1t has a
screen cover, which may be covered
with cloth in very hot or dusty weather.
A table with shelf underneath occupies
the southeast corner. A space just above
the level of the tank, feet wide and

MARK TwAiN'S Ai.IMAL FRIENDs
The Humorist's Love OF iaour-Foote
Cree tres.

The Humorist's Love OF iaour-Foote
Creatures.
Toward the whole world of domest.,
animals he has heart of unmeasuret
sympathy and tender Kindness. lie i.
in particular lover Of cats. and will
hardly meet one anywhere without
pausing to give it friendly attention;
while for the cats of his own house
hold his devoted fondness comes near
to being passionate. He cannot bear
to see horse touched with the whip.
The present writer, when in his COM
pany abroad, riding with him behind a
sleepy nag moping along just out of a
walk on level road, has seen him, on
noticing the driver unwind his lash
preparatory to quickening the speed,
stay Jehu's hand with: "Never mind
that! We are going fast enough. We
are in no hurry
One afternoon while we were toiling
up the long path from the Riffel hotel
to the Corner Graf, we came upon a
bunch of sheep, q lamb of which, as we
were passing, left its dam and inquir-
irgly ventured some distance toward
us; whereupon Mark seated himself on
convenient bowlder, and with out
stretched hand and other allurements
began trying to call 1t up to him. On
the lambs part it was a contest between
curiosity and timidity, but in the sue
cession of advances and retreats that
followed it gained in confidence, though
at very gradual rate.
1t was picture to remember; the
great American humorist on one side
of the game, and that little creature on
the other, with Matterhorn for back
ground. One could but think what the
nations of Marks readers would say
to it. He was reminded that the time
he was consuming in that amiable
diversion was valuable-but to no pur-
pose. The Corner Graf could wait.
He held on with undiscouraged perse-
verance, till, to his extreme satisfac-
ton, he finally carried his point. His
pleasure in the incident was keen, and
outlasted the day.-Joseph Fl. Twich-
ell, in Harper's Magazine.

the screen and below the tank give
sufficient room for milk and butter
dishes. The milk is set in pals. A gal
yanized iron pipe leads from small
tank at the side of the pump down IS
inches below the surface of the ground,
across the 30 foot space and up again to
the level of the milk tank. An overflow
pipe at the other end of the tank car
ries off the water after it has reached
the proper height in the tank. Another
pipe, at the bottom of the tank, is used
for emptying it when desired. The door
in the southwest corner is of wood, but
could be of screen if preferred. Board
shutters cover the screens in rainy
weather. The water in the tank may be
changed at any time by pumping water
into the small tank at the we'll.

How Thick to Plant CORN.
The New Celery Culture.

A New Jersey gardener describes in
Ohio Horticulture his present method
of growing celery. At the proper time
he sets three rows 40 feet long of White
Plume, Pink Plume and Giant Pascal,
the rows ten inches apart and plants
six inches apart in row. The ground is
rich. and at frequent intervals is liber-
ally watered with liquid manure. The
plants grow wonderfully and are always
in good health. Foot wide boards are
placed close to the outside rows, and as
cold weather comes on the celery is
covered with hay and leaves, increasing
the quantity as the cold strengthens.
When wanted, the celery is pulled with
little trouble. This celery is white,
clean and crisp.

Maori Girps Swimming Feat,

A story of a pluclSy girl comes from
far-off New Zealand. A Maori girl,
aged Is, was crossing Lake Tampa in a
canoe with two children, aged two,
three and ten years. When fully half
mile from shore a squat capsized the
canoe,and theoccupants were left strug-
CLING in the water. It was impossible
to right the canoe, but the girl did not
lose her self-possession. She placed the
children as securely as possible on the
bottom of the boat. and then, slipping
off her wet skirts, she took the towing
rope In her teeth and swan to the shore,
with the canoe and it's precious cargo.
All Maori girls are powerful swimmers,
and the feat would hardly have been
possible to a girl of another nation.

Tnh Sic ror rwelve Cows.

In answer to a question, The Rural
New Yorker says:
To keep IL cows on ensilage from
Nov. l to April and feed them 40
pounds each per day would require about
70, 600 pounds. A tub silo 70 feet in
diameter to contain this amount would
need to be 16 feet high. The inch boards
would not be practicable to use in the
construction. They would be so elastic
that the weight of the ensilage would
be likely to cause springing between the
hoops, and this would allow the air to
enter and the ensilage would be spoiled.
If the hoops were put close enough to
prevent the springing of the inch
boards, the cost would be greater than
the additional expense necessary to Sc
cure the 2 by 0 plank Pure base 3 by 6
plank 10 feet long, and have the edges
beveled for silo 10 feet in diameter.
How Thick to Plant Corn.
In the experiments at the Ohio sta
ton the highest per cent of sound corn
has been reached from an average stand
of one stalk every IS inches, but the to-
tai yield has not been SO large as from
closer planting. The most profitable
yield has come from giving foot in
linear length of row to each plant, the
rows being 8 IS feet apart On the bottom
lands at Columbus it did not seem to
make any difference whether the plants
stood 10 inches apart. two every ID
inches, three every 36 inches or four
every 48 inches. but on thin clay upland
at Wooster the best yields thus far have
come from stand of one stalk every IL
inches or two every "a inches. Further
grouping has reduced the yield, as has
also closer planting.
