Gently granted him.
Before the harvesting of the next

Three Blessings.

An old clergyman who formerly
lived in New Hampshire town was
remarkable for his eccentric modes
of speech. His way of asking a bless
ing was so peculiar as to sometimes
affect the risibles OF his guests, al
though he apparently was entirely
unconscious of this fact
When he seated himself at the
breakfast table and saw spread
upon it meal greatly to his liking,
he said, Lord, we thank thee for
this excellent breakfast of which we
are to partake.
A more simple meal, but one
which he still regarded as compare
lively satisfactory, would cause him
to say, Lord, we thank thee for
this good breakfast set before us. /"
But when the minister eye roam
cd over the table and saw there
nothing which was especially to his
taste, although the tone in which he
uttered his petition was not lacking
in fervor, his sentiments were clear
ly to be discovered
Lord" he invariably said on
these occasions, 'fill our hearts
with thankfulness. we beseech thee,
for this meal set before us; for with
thee all things are possible. =

r1iIking Makes rliIkers.

There is one thing that the would-be
dairyman should keep constantly i'll
mind, namely that milking makes
good dairy COWS. No matter what
breed COW may be, nor how we'll fed
she may be, if she is not MIXED intel
igently she will disappoint her owner.
In the first place cows should be
MIXED regularly. The cows like
regularity. Irregular milking means
less and poorer milk. Careful ex
periments have demonstrated the
truth of this beyond question. In the
second place, milking must be done
rapidly, The COW becomes disguised
with drawing mixer. The dairy COW
is usually business COW and she likes
the people around her to be business
people. If the mixer milks as if he
did not care much whether he got the
milk or not the COW becomes Disguised
and decides that such fellow does not
deserve much. Third, milking must be
done thoroughly. Cows that suckle
only their own calves are not what
dairymen call good mixers because
the calves do not need as much milk
as the dairyman wants, and conse-
quently nature cuts short the supply.
If a COW naturally gives forty pounds
of milk and the mixer draws but
thirty she will soon shrink to thirty.
Lack of thoroughness on the part of
the mixer has ruined many good
dairy. Fourth, milking should be
long continued. We mean that the
COW should be kept in milk for long
period of time. The average period
of location of the COWS of Iowa is
probably not longer than six months.
It ought to be ten months. 1t is not
business sense to permit such a yalu-
able animal as the dairy COW to lie
idle SIX months OF the year. We do
not believe in milking from calf to
calf without rest. Neither men nor
animals should swork continually;
everything and everybody needs rest.
People rest one day in seven-or
ought to. Iset the COW rest about the
same length of time. That would be
ffty-two days in twelve months. But
teach the COW to give milk for at least
ten months in the year, and especially
impress this lesson upon the heifer. If
she forms the habit during the first
year or two of her life as dairy COW
it will stay with her, unless she is
spoiled.
These are not all of the points which
are to be considered in milking and in
developing milking cows, but they are.
important ones, and can not be ne
elected without injury to the COW and
loss to her owner, Wallaces' Farmer.

he explanation is simple. 1t is found in
that impure blood which is contin-
ually feeding the nerves upon refuse
instead of the elements of strength and

do not cure. Hoods Sarsaparilla feeds
the nerves pure, rich, red blood; gives

true remedy for all nervous troubles.
