A sentence of divorce has just been pronounced at Munich against the em- press of Austria s niece, Countess George Larisoh, who played so prominent and so questionable q role in the scandal that culminated in the tragic death of Grown Prince Rudolph at Meyerling. The trial took place in camera, D but 1t is generally understood that the grounds upon which the count based his demand for dissolution of the mar riage rested on the behavior of the countess i'll connection with the affair, which, it may be remem mbered, resulted in her punishment from Austria.

THE VENTILATION OF HORSE
STABLES.

It takes a good deal of ear to keep
the horse stables sweet and fit for
healthy living during the summer sea.

Unless it is quickly covered with earth,
e psum or something equally efficient
in absorbing odrs, the decomposirg
manure will not only wasGe emmonia,

DAIRY DOTS.

It is very poor economy to allow a
COW to shrink in her milk for want OF
sufficient food.
As warm weather comes on see that
the stock on the pasture have plenty
of good water and good shade.
The quality of milk depends prima
rily upon the COWS producing it, and
secondly upon the feed and are given
to them.
The value of all cream is based on
the dry solids it contains, and this will
vary with different COWS and If 3rent
seasons.
The COW should be MIXED to the last
drop and as the last portion of the milk
is the best, the udder should be left
with nothing in it.
To q very considerable extent it is
the perfect separation of milk and
cream that determines the amount Of
profit in good butter making.
So far as can be done, make the
change of pastures with the stock after
a good rain. The fresh grass will be
cleaner and will taste sweeter.
On an average, four pounds Of butter
can be made from 100 pounds of milk,
and 10 pounds of cheese a be made
from the same weight Of milk.
Given the best of COWS that give the
richest cream, give them the best feed
and care, and only a start has been
made in the production of fine butter.
If the stock is to make a healthy,
thrifty growth while On pasture, it is
very essential that they have access to
pure, fresh water whenever they want
it.
The best proof that there is fair profit
in raising good cattle may be found in
the fact that the men who handle that
sort are not complaining about the
business.
It is quite an item to use only the
best and purest salt, of uniform fneness
Of grain; from three quarters to an
ounce should be used to every pound
Of butter.
Although there is much in favor of
other rations, oats is about the best
thing we can give to calves. Mixed
with corn meal it is q great milk pro
ducer for COWS.

TRICK OF The COMMISSION MAN.

We we're operating quite extensively
in apples that year, and had shipped
quite a few cars and had no complaint,
until one morning we woke up with
two cars rejected On our hands, claim
ing that they were falsely packed,
writes a correspondent OF Fruit Trade
Journal. Knowing that they were re-
9cted because the market vas off, /
left at once to settle the matter, as the
deduction asked was a moderate one of
a dollar a barrel, or a "bone" a barrel
as ''Montag" says. l found the fruit
o. K but the market was of, and we
we're up against it, 80 / settled for half
the deduction asked asked. We had
sold another car to go to q neighboring
town, and just as I arrived I saw our
car showed in. Two men whom I
afterwards found were two rival"
merchants of the town, were ready to
examine and broke the seal. l was
close enough to hear ell the converse
ton. I saw them take out but one
barrel and examine it. The barrel was
sound but the market was eff. The
one said to the other: "Wire them
car bad order, shall we handle for
your account2" Just then one OF the
men looked up and took a full look at
me, aud he remembered me when l
called at his store half an hour later.
He Of course was surprised and glad to
see me, 1900 miles from home. He
paid the bill in full.

It is claimed that there r not
enough heavy draft horses to supply
the market. Make that plain and the
supply will be coming.
Misrepresentation as to the pedigree
of a stallion is a crime that should be
severely punished. Yet it is harmless
if people will only investigate.
There is complaint against the work
done by dehorniDg clippers and prefer

The balky horse and the swearing
driver are two n~uisances where the
horse should have the monopoly. Keep
you temper and in some way get the
horse to think of something else. AS
soon as you do away he will go.
Hard roads bang up the feet Of the

are not as wearing on the horse as soft
roads are. But independent of that

SUGGESTIONS ON HoRsE.BREED.
ING.

The farmer may breed a high class
roadster, q coach horse or a draf5 horse.
and if the mating ct the sire and dam
is done intelligently, and proper care
ia given the foal. be will be assured Of
success. But quality cannot be reg
lected. The sire and and dam must
represent what is wanted in the foai.
Should the sire and dam not possess
b. eeding, but are the resul5 of accident,
you are not assured that they will re
produce themselves. The cheapness of
the services OF a cross roads stallion
should not recommend him. Look
first for continued breeding in the line
you desire, then Individuality, and the
reasonebleness Of the price may b9
considered Rfterward. Buty you should
remember that the services of a we'll
bred animal with good indivuelity
are worth more and cannot be offered
for the price Of the scrub. The pre-
dUce Of the II promises g profit On
your investment, while the other will
prove deceptive and in all probability
bring you into debt.
Horses demanded by the present and
future markets cannot be grown in
herds on the Western ranches like
cattle. Free" grass" will not make
the massive draft animal, the high
stepping oOacher, or the stylish, shapely
driver. The farmer who uses his dam
for bis farm work Can produce a foal
at a nominal cost. His only expendi
tUre In Gctual cost is for service fee.
A reasonable amount of work for the
dam is advantage to the foal rather
than otherwise. GIVE the >foal rapid
development and remember that a de
cline In condition, q check in growth,
means q ahIinka4e IN profits. In this
way the horse stock Of this Country
may be improved; otherwise it will
deterrtoste. By breeding better ami
mails and by continued Improvement
the healthy demand of foreign o
tries Will continue, otherwise it will
abate. When they cannot find what
their market demands IN this country
they Will go elsewhere or produce
shem IN their own country. We an
not force them TO take what We have

TOMATO GROWING IN SOUTH

The following is not merely a clip

be taken into sccount that the toma-

on this is unnecessary.
What Mr.. Freeman has done others

he will see that one acre here properly
cultivated, brings larger returns by

WIN DAIRYING.

-
The criticisms that once were valid
in the objections to winter dairying do
not hold good any longer. Warm barns,
silage. ~creameries, revolving churns,
etc., all are in the way OF making 365
days of May and June conditions on
the farm, and one can regulate the
temperature OF q dairy house much
better with heGt from a stove than
with ice and refrigeration. The plan
of butter making in the winter effords
a plan Of an insurance against the de,
~velopment Of too many ferments and
favors and nov with the sour milk
STARTER, " the winter butter maker can
have true favor with each and every
churnipg. One Of the later points
proven is that if cream is rich in fats
it can be churned much lower in tenn
p~erature and much more probably,
and this is then in favor of winter
dairying. What is wanted is cream
which will cburn out thirty five pounds
Of butter to the 100 pounds, and then
not fill the churn more than one third
full, and the best OF results will follow
If below 60 degrees. Just before the
cream breaks" q quart or two of brine
at 60 degrees should be added TO the
cream, and the separation will be COM
plete. GranUlated butter ia the want

COWS come in during autumn, the
character Of the milk will be Of the
very best for butter making, and such
milk will under the influence produce

| plants in the spring. The seed are ex
ceediugIy small and the plants very
delicate when they first eome up. It
is necessary to keep the seed moist I'm
till they vegetate. That may be done
in various ways: With thoroughly
rotted manure, we'll spread over the
rows; by placing old sacks and cloths
over them until the seed terminate, or
by daily watering without covering.
We can thus secure an abundant sup
ply OF large plants, far superior to those
grown in hot beds or green houses. /
grow mine in that way, and find it
much more satisfactory than the ordi,
nary method of thinning out and trans
planting, which involves a great deal
OF tedious work. Ny plan insures fine,
large, stalky plants. You cannot grow
fine celery from inferior plants. They
make spindling plants. no matter how
well the ground may be prepared and
fertil z I'd. OF course celery will do
batter on moist ground, or land subject
to irrigation. On good thoroughly
prepared sandy loan upland, however,
we can grow it satisfactorily. And 1
speak from experience of many years.
We pay too little attention to storing
surplus summer crops. For instance.
if we will quarter the surplus summer
cabbage and pack them firmly in bar
rels, covering each layer with dry salt,
they will keep through the win Ter;
then all you have to do is to soak them
to get the salt out, and they scarcely
can be distinguished from fresh cab
bage. II you do not succeed in grow
ing them fresh during the winter, these
can be used very we'll.
Okra should be dried for soups. 1t
should be cut up and dried in the sun,
and when thoroughly dry put up in
stove pans and heat it to destroy any
eggs Of insects. Then, when put up in
fruit cans, it will give you good mate
rial for winter use.
In travelling through the country I
have e so much OF the lack of win
ter gardening that the idea occurred to
me that a few suggestions Of this kind
may bear fruit, and I hope they will.
