only the power to attach once to anv

FEMININE DAY WISDOM.

AS given to he Wild by Dorothy
Tucker through the Inn Journal:
Sailing regularly iSle very impor-
taIt matter in the dal
When COWS have nj received an
| abundance of salt, anthem a change
to regular sailing is pFticed, great
change both in quantiAnd quality of
milk can be noticed. A still better
plan is to keep it wheeach COW can
help herself whenever lie desires.
| The best cows are ahys the heavy
| feeders.
If they eat heartily q are healthy,
and do lot lay on fat, y may be sure
that it is going someWre, and you
will always find it in thmilk pail.
Good, regular care w count nov.
Breeding and natural hpacity are
pOWerleSS to contributeb successful
stock raising unless acnpanied by
thoughtfulness, intelligeR and regu-
lar care.
Merit is not proof agast neglect,
starvation and abuse. Gil a COW just
enough to keep her alive I'd how can
she fill the milk pail?
Too many unobserving nen expect
this, and then wonder wy they are
poor.
How many farmers are fpparing TO
idle away the winter? Il there any
excuse for such practices, I'D is there
any other business that wlpermit 1t :?
Winter butter producti& is more
profitable than summer; thu why not
be winter producer?
Every degree you raise TIN tempera-

ton for prosperity.
Don't let the heifers form he habit

FEEDING HENS FOR EGGS.

Farmers generally feed too much
corn; its fattening properties are so
great that it should be fed sparingly
and then on the cob, except that for the
night meal on a cold day hot corn is
excellent.
Buckwheat or wheat should be the
principal feed during winter. Oats are
good when the ground is bare and there
is free access to gravel and grit.
Warm milk or water, along with
crushed oyster shells, should be pro
vided literally. Liquids are necessary
for the formation Of egg shells.
Scraps from the table, peelings and
cabbage are equally relished by bid
dy," and if properly housed and cared
for will give good returns in the egg
basket-New England Homestead.

LETTUCE.

With the exception possibly Of the
cabbage, few vegetables require as rich
soil in order to get the best results as
lettuce. Many vegetable plants are
not particular as to the quality of the
manure. Anything in abundance will
do, but the lettuce seems to prefer rank,
partially rotted manure to any other
kind. We have seen it thriving in the
rich soil of a greenhouse where it was

VESSELMEN HAVE REDRESS.

United States Court at Duluth Gives Jude-

DULUTH, Sept. lO.-Vesselmen have
some redress for short grain cargoes,
the great bogie.man Of the grain trade
for boat owners. This was decided by
the state court here in the Frontenac
case. This matter has been in the
courts ever since 1895. The Judge de.
creed that the vessel can recover all ex-
pense for shortage from the elevator
where the grain was received into the
boat. The Frontenac was chartered in
1890 to take $1,000 bushels OF wheat to
Buffalo from Duluth. The load was
taken on at the Northern elevator and
at Buffalo it was found to be l,5O1
bushels short. The consignee recov'
cred from the vessels owners in the
United States court, and they sought
recourse from the elevator company
Judge Moore announced to Searle &
Spencer, attorneys for the steamer.
that he would give a judgment against
the elevator company for shortage.

NAVAL RECRUITING.

Temporary Northwestern Stations Have
Done Very Good Work.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-The expert
ment of naval recruiting stations on the
Great Lakes has been IN unqualified
success.
During Lieutenant Hawley's absence
of several weeks he maintained stations
temporarily at Duluth, Milwaukee and
Chicago, and established a station at
Detroit, which will remain in operation
for the present. =
At each of these points many more
able bodied and promising seamen and
mechanics presented themselves than
could be utilized in the service. At
Duluth 81 enlistments were made, at
Milwaukee 81, at Chicago 126, and at
Detroit "a have been made up to the
present time.
Lieutenant Commander Hawley will
recommend to Secretary Long the adj
visibility Of maintaining a permanent
recruiting rendenvousin the Northwest,
probably at Chicago, and he will also
advocate q visit Of recruiting officers to
Southern cities. It is the policy of the
department to weed out the personnel
| of enlisted men as rapidly as possible.
