In history where, under like circum-

noble and immortal example, when he
sought out that weak and migratory con-

A story Is going the rounds which IL
Illustrates the vanity of estimating num-
bers by noise. 1t sets forth that Yam

and liked dish of frogs legs-for
which, however, he had to pay a large
price.
what makes you charge so much for
'em?" he asked the landlord.
Because they are scarce" answered
the hotel-keeper.
"Scarcep exclaimed the Yankee,
"why, I'll agree to get you a million
Of 'em."
Agreed" said the landlord; "if you
bring me million I'll find a market
for them"
'e "Ali right-I'll have 'em by tonight,
sure" ~
The Yankee went away, and at night
came back with eight pairs Of frogs
legs.

asked the landlord.

Yankee. 81 formed my judgment Of the

try at distance from New York who

room had they all decided to come. Eight
hundred or 900 men and women, repre-
senting the world of wealth and society
in and about New York, constituted the
guests at the elaborate social function.
The ball began at midnight and ended
at 8 o'clock in the morning. Therefore
its pleasures cost at the rate of 100000
an hour. The cost to the hostess was
about $4,000. 1t was superb specta-
Gle, which will go down in society's his
tory as a riot of color and display. 1t

the browning glory of the social life of
New York of this century. 1t may not be

Dairy Dots.


A really good dairy cow can be prof
itably kept until she Is eight years old.
Don't allow your cows, young cattle
or sheep to be pinched In their feed dur
Ing the winter.
Do not expect good milk cow TO be-
come beef fat while she is yielding q
good flow of milk.
As a rule. profitable cow is good
eater, but some cows have eyes larger
than their stomachs, like some men.
Cows kept in comfortable quarters In
winter eat less, thrive better, and give
more milk than II exposed TO Ucld or
storm.
While It Is best to Keep water where
the cows can help themselves, when
this cannot be done conveniently, the
best plan is TO see that they have all the
pure, fresh water they will drink regu-
larly twice day.
The COW likes regularity, and when
the regular routine Of her life b dis
turbed she resents 1t by giving less
milk. She Is not very particular
whether she has three meals day or
two. but she wants what she does have
regularly.
Those who have had much experience
know that there is a great difference In
salts. A sample should always be
thoroughly tried before buying large
quantities. no matter what iDdrcemcnt
may be offered. II II does not suit It n

Notes ON Hog Cholera.

1t is almost impossible to cure hogs
after they are once sick. The only way
to be successful Is to secure n stock Of
hogs which are thoroughly vigorous
and healthy. To do this avoid breeding
young. Immature stock, and do not prac-
tice close inbreeding. Feed healthful
foods and give variety. Always have
the water pure. Infection is carried
more largely by water than by any
other method. Give plenty of salt,
ashes, rotten wood, broken tile mortar,
soft coal, etc. Have these where the
hogs can get at them at any time. Feed
aples, pumpkins and the like, whenever
they are obtainable. If disease should
break out among the animals, take
away the well ones and put them into a
lot that has never been occupied by
hogs. Disinfect the quarters of the dis,
eased pigs and give extra care and at

Your Foot Gear.

Shoes are, in every part, machine
made. 1t Is said by scientific authority
that there is no department of human
industry In which machinery and the
subdivision OF labor have been brought
to greater perfection than in the manu-
facture of shoes. In the great shoe
factories. there are women employed
whose business the year round Is to
sew one seam and one only. Even the
metal eyelets are placed in position
and clamped by a mechanical device.

Milking Machinea.

An authority says that 1t Is a mis-
take to say that the tubes Of milking
machines cannot be kept clean. The
machine / was familiar with could be
fitted up to milk the two hundred-cow
dairy in five minutes, instead Of over
six hours, and there Is no difficulty in
keeping everything about 1t sweet. 1t
Is also complete manipulation. The
calf's bunting is thoroughly inflated.
1t Is so simple that a boy or girl of if
teen could work 1t. 1t is manufactured
In Scotland, and is decided success.
Every large dairy should have one, as
1t saves the cost of itself In a short time.
The milk keeps longer, as 1t does not
get contaminated with bacteria, being
In an alright bucket. 1t can be car
ried and cooled over the refrigerator
ready for shipment inside Of an lour

Measurements.


Multiply the length. breadth and depth
In feet, and that product by four; cut
or the right hand figure, and those at
the left express the number Of bushels
OF corn II the ears were shelled. Add
one-half Of this amount and you will
have about the quantity Of bushels OF
vegetables in the same space. To meas
ure pile of wood, multiply the length
by the width, and that product by the
height. which will give the number of
cubic feet. Divide the product by 12S
and the quotient will be the number Of
cords. A standard cord Of wood, 1t
must be remembered, is four feet thick;
that Is. the wood must be four feet long.
Farmers usually go by surface measure,
calling pile Of stove wood eight feet
long and four feet high cord. Under
such circumstances thirty-two feet
would be the divisor, says the Western
Plowman."

WESTINGHOUSE COACH.

Old Barn in New York.
Washington's coach, in which the faith

and which should be treasured as a pre-

stable in New York, serving as a roost
for chickens and catch-all for discarded
things usually thrown into garrets. A

Mice In Young Clover,

1t Is a mistake to leave large growth
Of clover on the land in the fall. There
is nothing that mice better like for
shelter, as the clover affords both pro-
lection and food. We have seen pieces
of young clover that in spring after the
snow was off were entirely honey
combed by tracks of mice among the
clover roots where they had made their
runs and had eaten the crowns of large
clover roots into the ground. 1t is by
following the roots of succulent plants
that mice make their holes for winter
refuge.

And then dieth of the piplet-
Very dead
When the earth is In a sort Of frozen web,
Whenthe cigarette gives way to the cubeb,
Then, oh. then, tits very clear
And say II without fear
We have reached the time Of year

Dat and Pea Fodder.

We provide ourselves with oats and
peas, mixed. 1t insures us against
drought. We plant Canada peas, one
and one-half bushels to the acre, and
sow three bushels of oats. Put In as
early as possible, and an acre at time,
every ten days, thus giving us crops all
through the dry season. Peas alone
will not stand up, and, moreover, do
not make as good fodder as when
mixed with oats. These may be cut
and cured as hay. Put in the peas five
inches deep; five or six days later drag
in the oats.-Massachusett Plough
