cow NURSES -FOUR LAMBS.

~ sucking, as if with her own mother.
Other lambs then followed suit, until
there were six in all. Six, however,
proved to be too many for the atfec-
tionate foster-parent, and the number
was reduced to four. These are thriv-
ing wonderfully well, apparently as
well as with their natural mother, and
all the drawbacks which are inevita-
bic in rearing lambs with the bottle
are absent. The COW fultlls the duty
of a mother in every way, and re-
fuses to be separated from her charges.
In fact, when taken away to Craze in
an adjoining field she bellows and
frets until allowed to come back to
her little family. Pretty it is to see
her lick the lambs, when, having had
their fill of milk, they come around to
her head The incident is the more
remarkable as the COW has not had
calf for IS months. The photograph,
which shows the lambs eagerly taxi
ing their fill of milk, while the COW is
patiently waiting their pleasure, was
taken some minutes after the reunion
of the family, after few hours COM
pulsory separation, which is necessary
for the welfare of the mother.-St.

signs of a Good Cow.

One or two signs will denote a good
cow, Prof, Heacker says, as well as
twenty; in a poor COW the thigh runs
down straight, so there is no space
between the thigh and the udder on
one side and the tail on the other.
There should be plenty of daylight be-
tween the udder and the tail. One of
the best ways to tell what kind of a
COW you have is her temperament. A
good dairy type has a sharp spine,
strongly developed nervous system,
and sharp hip bones. A good cow has
a large, wedge-shaped stomach, for
she must have a large and powerful
digestive system to use up her food
quickly and make the best returns for
it.-Dakota Field and Farm.

aRANDMA!AMA's GARDEN.

Out from the dusk Of the days gone by
That come to me now as dreams
Smiles picture framed by the summer sky
And the sunshine's golden beams;
IT'S little garden bright with bloom
Or flowers both sweet and rare,
And from April's sun to November's gloom
There were always blossoms there
Blossoms fragrant and blossoms gay
Or witchIng as any elf,
And blossoms as quaint and sweet always
AS the gardener was herself;
For twas grandmamma tended them care
fully
And they seemed TO understand
The loving care and sympathy
In the touch OF her sltillful hand.
Roses and lilacs and mignonette,
Peonles, pnks and phloX
Blue-eyed. pansles and yIolets,
Daisies and hollyhocks;
Fair syringas and Jack-and-Jlll,
I4arkspur and columbine,
Dahlias Of many a velvet frill
Asters and yelow-vine;
There was hardly a flower Of form or hue
| OF the sweet old-fashIoned kind
That one could look her garden through
And fail It's like to find.
OFT as a child | wandered there
And | can remember still
How grandmamma severed the blossoms
fair
MY little apron to fill.
Still can see her winning grace
And her words L can recall;
Thou, my child, with thy baby face
Art the sweetest flower Of all.
Often she severed the silken bloom
| or the fair syringa flowers,
Yet little knew their sweet perfume
Brought grandmamma vanished hours,
For once in her tresses Of raven nair
| In the JOY of glad June-tide,
Grandmamma wore the syringa fair
| AS a lovely, winsome bride;
| Now as | look down the yesterdays
The vistas of years gone by
The sweetest picture that meets my gaze
Is framed by the blue, blue sky.
love not the modern blossoms less
That charm with their beauty rare,
Yet a bit of heavens lovellness
Seemed grandmamma' is garden fair;
! All many a summers silvery rain
And many a winters snow
Have softly come and gone again
| Since that SWEEP long ago.
But the gardener quaint and her dear dead
flowers
My heart shall ne'er forget,
For In memories sweet Of childhood's hours
| l see them smiling yet,

rhe Seeds in an Apple.

There is no certain rule as to the
number of seeds that any apple, or, for
that matter, any other kind of fruit
that has more than one seed, may con-
tain. 'There are individual peculiari-
ties in trees even of the same variety.
The season also has something to do
with it, as some years, especially those
when there is much wet weather, the
apples all have great many seeds.
This perhaps suggests the reason. In
wet seasons the mineral manures in
the soil are more soluble. 1t is known
that potash is necessary to seed torma-
ton, and in a wet year this mineral
is in abundant supply for the roots
to take up for the trees use.

In thisinterview Aguinaldo described
the causes and incidents Of the last re-
bellion, and, in case OF war, explained
the nature OF the cooperation he could
give, while he promised to maintain
order and to conduct the war on civ
ilized principles. lie declared his abil-
ity to establish. responsible govern
ment on liberal principles, and that he
would be willing to accept for Luzon
the same terms as the United States
intends giving to Cuba,
Consul Pratt communicated by tele-
graph with Admiral Dewey, at whose
request Aguinaldo left Singapore for
Hong-Kong on April 20, Since then
Aguinaldo has done some fighting; he
has given evidence Of pluck and abil-
ity, and thus far he has kept his agree
ment. He has certainly great inhu-
ence and host Of followers among the
Philippines.
Aguinaldo's scheme is republic
with himself MS president, and in this
scneme he thinks he has Admiral
Dewey's support. But, although the
Americans here received the insur-
gent leader kindly, gave him two mod.
ern field pieces, 300 rifles and plenty Of
ammunition, Dewey has proved him
self too subtle n diplomat to commit
either himself or the government to
any wild scheme. Fancy n republic Of
some S,OOO,00O' people, of whom one
half are savages, and the rest, not
more than about $4,000 excepted, with
such civilization as Spain chose to inn
part OF these 100000 not more than
two per cent. can read. The Spaniards
and Philippines. that is, natives of the
Philippines of Spanish parents, num-
Der perhaps 100000. To establish re-
publican form of government under
these circumstances would mean to
plunge them Mt once into barbarism.
I have mentioned Admiral Dewey's
ability MS an administrators and diplo-
mat, While maintaining a most vigor-
GUS blockade he willingly gave permits
sion to delegation of British and Ger
man merchants to remove their fam
lilies to Cavite. He ordered that place
to be made sanitary and placed Consul
Williams in charge. The consequence
is that wealthy Manila families, like
that of the Cortes, have placed all
their houses in Cavite at Dewey's dis.
posal. He has made himself extremely
popular among the British shipmas-
ters. Instead of carrying on with the
absolutism of conqueror he has aid
ed and facilitated their business so
far as it did not interfere with his
duties. His praise is in every port in
the far east; and when he was in need
of coal these shipmasters sold him
5000 tons, so that he was we'll supplied.

The cabbage is a plant which re-
quires lime, and the lime which most
ashes contain is therefore an impor-
tant benefit when they are appliedto this
crop. The very best place to SOW cab
bage seed is where brush heap has
been burned over few weeks or
months before. The ashes have by
this time lost all of their caustfc prop
critics, and make the soil light and mel
low when mixed with it. Such places
will be free from weeds, as the fire will
destroy most weeds within two inches
of the surface. Either the burned soil
or the ashes makes the cabbage less Ii

colonial system of Spain? And in
accepting these conditions did not the
governor general admit that the
abuses existed? For Governor General
Primo de Rivera did agree, but insisted
that the leaders should leave the coun-
try. To provide them with the means
of living, since all of their property
had been confscated or destroyed, the
government paid them $S00,000.
So far all was well. But when peace
was restored and the insurgent lead
ers had left, Spain's encouragement
refused to execute any and all the con-
ditions agreed upon, playing the same
trick that had been successful with
the Cubans after the peace of Zanjon,
sigued by Martinez Campos. More than
that. No sooner had arms been laid
down than the religious orders com
menced to prosecute those insurgents
who had not been able to leave, trump
up imaginary charges against them,
and have them arrested.
AguinaldQ and his associates had
left for Hong Kong, and the former
continued on 10 Singapore, where
Spanish agents tried pretty hard to
get hold of him. Even before the war
with America broke out it seems that
he had decided to revive the insurrec-
ton, Spain's violation of the agree
ment absolving him. On the gath of
April Aguinaldo met Hon. L. Spencer
Pratt, United States consul-general,
in the presence of Messrs. Howard W..
Bray, Aguinaldo's private secretary;

A style of wagon-boX which is COM

sides which are made to hold the two

In the meanwhile Manila papers, all
of which are under government con-
troll, try to keep up courage by allsorts
of lying and sensational reports. They
maintain still that the Baltimore was
so damaged in the late battle that the
American admiral decided to scuttle
her. The latest issue contains proc
lamation from the archbishop stating
that four Spanish battleships are on
their way out, and that God has in
formed him that in the next engage
ment the armies of the most Christian
Spain will be victorious. This church
dignitary is doing his utmost to revive
the religious wars of the sixteenth
century.
\ stated before that do not think
our boys will have to fight in order to
capture Manila. My reasons are two
fold. The vigorous blockade main
tanned by Dewey has rendered pro-
visions scarce, and, while the Span
ish officers may swagger, fighting on
an empty stomach needs great moral
stamina. They are, besides, doing their
level best to ALLEVIATE the Philippines.

KEEPING BUTTER COOL.
Farms Not Provided with
nm Ice House.

Here is a good plan for keeping '1St-
ter cool in summer, says the InLiana
Farmer: In the middle of your cellar
floor dig hole or vault 31a feet deep
and 3h feet square. Wall it up with
brick laid in lime mortar and cement
and floor it with soft brick. Lay a
frame of good hard wood in mortar
upon the top of this vault. Hinge to
the frame trapdoor of plank two
inches thick, making it fit smoothly
over the top. Then after the cream is
separated and cooled put it down in
the vault to ripen. Butter may be kept
there in the agreeable GOODNESS also.
If you have no separator, put the
cream into your vault so soon as you
have SKINNED it, there to cool and
ripen. Once or twice week clear out
the vault and wash it thoroughly to
prevent its getting moldy. Pour cold
water upon the soft brick of the floor.
They will absorb it and cool the air.
This is very successful way to keep
milk, butter aud cream cool in hot
weather on farms where there is no
