Good MIX.

To make good butter one must have good milk, and this comes only from healthy cows, fed on good, sweet pas ture or on good, sweet grain and other forage, and which have pure water to drink and pure air to breathe. Certain obnoxious weeds-leeks, wild onions, ragweed and others-give the milk and the butter made from it decidedly bad flavor; so also do damaged, rotten silage, moldy corn fodder or hay and musty, damaged grain. Impure water has it's effect both on the health of the animals and the quality of the milk. In many pastures are seen small pools in which the COWS stand during the heat of the day to rid themselves of flies. The water in these becomes filthy and is kept stirred up by the movements of the cattle, and where, as is often the case, it is the only water obtainable the COWS are compelled to drink it. This can usually be avoided by fencing the pond and keeping the cattle out. If this water is needed for the cattle it can be drawn out by pipe laid on the low CT side in trough from which the COWS can drink.
 
 In close, crowded and i'll ventilated stable, where there is too little air space for each animal, the air becomes foul from the exhalations, and this affects the milk as we'll as the health of the animals. The remedy in this case is to provide more room for the stock and better ventilation.
 The stable should be kept as clean as possible and the cows well bedded and clean. The utmost cleanliness should be observed in milking. All dirt should be brushed from the COW before begin ming to milk, and it is best to dampen the udder and flank of the COW, so as to prevent the dust and fine dirt from fall ing into the milk. The milk should be strained immediately after milking and not allowed to stand in the COW stable any longer than is absolutely necessary. Bulletin United States Department of Agriculture.

The Mississippi Floods.

There is much speculation ill regard to the cause of the Mississippi floods, which are more frequent and destruc- tive as the years roll on. Landscape gardeners who have to do with ponds, lakes and small streams have learned that the earth brought down practically narrows the conduits and outlets. There is not the room for the sane volume of water as there originally was. The i'm mense volume of earth carried to the mouth of the Mississippi annually prac- tically raises the high water mark. Therefore, unless some method of jetty- ing by which the waste earth can be carried farther from the mouth channel or some new additional outlet be form ed, the danger must increase as the years roll on. --Meehan's Monthly.

The Sunday Law.

Tho interest in and talk about the Sunday law continue unabated, It does not seem to be generally understood that the new" law is not so very new after all. The fact is it is the same old law which has been on the statue books for years with the slight exception that the word ''recreation" has been strick- en out, the duration of the Sunday changed from midnight Saturday to midnight Sunday and the penalty for violation made more severe. It is now not m ore than $50 fine instead not more than four nor less than one dollar.
 Last Sunday the law was variously observed all over the state. In some places the observance was very strict. absolutely nothing being sold, not even papers or soda water. But in most places there was no change in the ob- servance of the day.
 It is to be regretted that the law was not so framed as to prohibit practices which necessarily destroy the character of Sunday as day of religious observ- ance, peace and rest and quiet recrea- tion rather than to have re-enacted @ law which public opinion will not sanction and which prohibits many things, which do not interfere with the proper observance of Sunday and which are now generally regarded as necessary.

A Spiders Web.

It is hard to realize how small spi- der's web really is. A famous micre- scopist once made some interesting con- parisons of cobweb with human hair.
 ''I have often compared the size of the thread spun by full grown spiders with hair of my beard" he says. "I placed the thickest part of the hair be- fore the microscope, and, from the most accurate judgment I could form, more than 100 of such threads placed side by side could not equal the diameter of one of such hair. If, then, we suppose such hair to be of round form, it fol lows that 10000 threads spun by the full grown spider, when taken together, will not be equal in substance to the size of single hair. To this, if we add that 400 young spiders at the time when they begin to spin their webs are not larger than one full grown one and that each of these minute spiders pos sesses the same organs as the larger ones, 1t follows that the exceedingly small threads spun by these little crea- lures must be still 400 times slenderer, and consequently that 4,000.0 of these minute spiders threads cannot equal in substance the size of single hair. "-Chicago Record.

Saved Against His VIII.

Another V. c. of my acquaintance he is anything but doctor-once saved trooper whose horse had been killed. His argument was rather original. The man was on foot, and the enemy-Zulus this time, and they are beautiful fight ers-were coming down at a run, and he said very decently that he did not see his way to periling his officers life by double weighting the only horse there was.
 To this his officer answered, "If you don't get up behind me, I'll get off and I'll give you such licking as you we never had in your life. The man was more afraid of fists than assegais, and the good horse pulled them both out of the scrape Now, by the regulations an officer who insults or threatens with violence subordinate of his service is liable to lose his commission and to be declared incapable of serving the queen in any capacity" but for some reason or other the trooper never report ed his superior.

Theirs First Successes.

Thiers' great achievement at Aix was in winning a prize offered by the acad- emy for an essay on Vauvenargues. The way in which this prize was secured was characteristic of Thiers. He wrote one essay which would have been sue cessful but for the fact that it was known to be his. The essays were sent anonymously, but Thiers had been un- able to refrain from reading his to lit erary society. The royalists on the con- mittee, knowing it's authorship, were unwilling to grant it the prize and post poned the decision. Thiers at once wrote another in different style, which Mig pet copied and sent in anonymously. This essay won the prize, and the whole town laughed at the clever scheme. The money which he received enabled him to go to Paris.
 He had hoped to practice law, but found he had not money enough to be admitted to the Paris bar. He tried up- successfully writing, fan painting and the duties of a private secretary, but starving in his garret. Finally he got a chance to write for The Constitutionnel. The editor, to whom he had an intro duction, had thought to get rid of him by asking him to write a review of the salon for that year. He supposed that Thiers must fail in such task. The artistic taste which had been developed at Aix made this review literary event. While doing justice to David s great service to French art in the past Thiers urged emancipation from the letters with which David had bound the French school and in contrast called attention to Delacroix, then an unknown painter. This single article did much for French art and also secured the au- thor position as journalist. tauquan.

The people of Connecticut are not go- ing pay much attention to the new Sun day law and the authorities throughout the state are in majority in declaring that they will not enforce the law un- less complaints and duly attested war rants are entered. Persons however should understand that they violate the law at their peril, as there is chance for your old enemy to even up old scores by entering complaint. The sentiment of most of the authorities on the ques- tiou coincides with that of New London officials who say: "We shall pay no at tention to the new Sunday law, unless the ''cranks" enter complaint. The old law is good enough for us.

NOTES FOR WHEELMEN.
A Brand-New Scheme for Sigu Pos'

A Brand-New Scheme for Sigu Posts.
 The Connecticut division of the League of American Wheelmen is &C., lively interested in securing the en- forcement of the law that was passed by the last Legislature, requiring the select men of the towns to maintain sign boards at all highway crossings for the travellers guidance. This law does not apply to the cities and boroughs, which is matter of regret as there is fully as much need of guide boards there as in the country districts.
 To aid and assist the selectmen in complying with the law the division hss decided to furnish large number of sign boards free for use on the principal highways connecting cities and towns roads which are extensively travelled These boards will be two feet long and one foot broad and can be readily dis tinguished; they will bear the l. A. W. mblem-a winged wheel, with IL. A w." interwoven in the spokes-in red at the top of the board. Underneath will be directions and distances marked in plain letters, and in addition to this it is the object of the division to designate the character and condition of the roads. The characters used in the division road book will be utilized and are as follows; | A-First- class.
 | B-Fair.
 | C-Poor.
 1-Level.
 2-Slightly hilly or rolling.
 3-Very hilly.
 | Thus the characters "A1" on an l.. A. W, guide board would mean "First. class-level' and indicate that the road to the place designated was in fine con. ditlon for travel. The other characters used in combination would mean as ex plained by the above key.
 The people of the state, and more es pecially the users of the wheel, will gladly welcome this innovation. In many towns not guide board is at the present time to be found and expert enced travellers have at times much difficulty in finding their way througl prosperous and thickly settled commu mites. In few months time it is hoped to have this condition radically changed B. H. Wilkins of Portland, Conn, ii chairman of the committee in charge O the matter for the division and is ac lively engaged in pushing the work.
