InattentiOn to dress was at one time
a weakness of the Duke of Norfolk. In

Duke Of Portland very close second
in this matter The nuns at Gumley
house convent at Isleworth tell to this
day a story about the present post
master general, which brings out this
wildly enough. Perhaps the legend
has been embellished a little in the
course Of a conventional tradition Of
a good many years, but here it is as
have heard it related at Gumley
The duke, it seems, was to distrib-
ute the prizes at the midsummer break
ing-up day at the convent which was
and to a certain extent still is, the
leading school in England for the edu-
cation Of the daughters of the old Cath
Ollie aristocracy and nobility. The great
gates were flung wide pending the ar
rival of the duke. Time went on and
he did not arrive. There was quite a
crowd outside awaiting the advent of
The ducal equipage, eager for the sight
Of positions, fOOtmen with powdered
hair and all the rest of it.
Presently a very shabbily dressed

Without taking the slightest offense,

you do distribute prizes, and 1 have

There was a tableau of confusion.

Typhoid Germs

1t has been asserted that the germs of
typhoid fever and malarial fever are antago-
nistie to each other and cannot exist to-
gether Examinations recently made at the
clinical laboratory Of the University of Penn
sylvania tend to upset this theory. In cases
of two soldier patients the germs of both
typhoid and malaria were found not only ex-
listing, but thriving together. The theory is
now advanced that the possible cause of the
severity of the illness of some of the soldiers
in certain camps was the presence of the
germs of both OF these diseases in their sys-
teuna.

with proper ap olIances. A very good
article on the advantages OF dairying
has been written by ] ". Newton,
Stowe, Vt, who speaks whereof he
knows, being a practical man. He
says:
THE first advantage of dairying is
that it takes less fertility from the soil
than other branches of forming, sugar
making alone excepted. Authorities

"a ton of wheat takes seven dollars
out of the farm and sells for less than
sixteen dollars A cor of butter takes
fifty cents worth of plant food from
the farm and sells for from four to six
hundred dollars. Comment is needless.
Second Butter is a condensed prod
uct, Nothing can be made or grown
on the farm which brings as much per
and communities far from railroad can
send butter from the farm or creamery
with the least possible expense. Hardly
any other farm produst can be loaded,
a hundred to a thousand dollars worth
at a time, upon a wagon and drawn to
a shipping point so readily as car but
ter. The dalryman can condense ton
of fodder and crops grown IN the farm
into dairy products and send them to
market l Il compact and portable form.

nil & etarInns scattered over a large
section OF Country. But this exception
only proves the rule. Much that lie
produced on the farm is raw material,
and must be manufactured or other
wise prepared for use after leaving the
farm
Fourth. Dairying brings in a con-
slant income The man who sells crops
of any kind has to wait until he can
market his products once a year. There
is little satisfaction in this. It is I'M
business like to go without cash fifty
one weeks and then have a lot of money
come in at n time. The dairyman
has an income nearly or quite fifty
two weeks in q year.
"Fifth. Datrying gives constant re-
munerative employment. The grain
or potato grower must spend a large
part OF the year in enforced and de
moralizing idleness. but the dairymaD
1ads prc fable work through the year,
and his work is most profitable in the
winter time,
Sixth. Ga the dairy farm the work
is better divided. The grain harvest
comes so close TO haying that it often
gets mixed up with it TO the detriment
OF both; but where corn is grown and
put into the soil for dairy feed, and
not go much or no grain raised, the
harvests are several weeks apart Then
in winter dairying, there is a let up In
the dairy work at the busiest season o.
the year on the farm, while the dairy
needs the most work when other farm
work is liehsest
Seventh Skill and brain work get
better pay in dairying than in any
other branch of farming. To produce
fine dairy products requires something

EDITED BY
sTWWERING CATTLE ON GRASS.

-snondence of the Progressive Farmer.
" don't know Of any subjscE more
.imsly than how cattle of all kinds
.honId be treated while living on grass.
The common method with most farm
40 ia to let them all run together
calves that are fed by hand excepted =
msnv or few, large or small. just one
nasture and generally too small for the
number that must get a good living or
10 half starved. Then close grazing
and often long dry spells and a good
number of cattle following each other
dsv after day, reaching through fences
and in the hot weather the field look
ing 90 pare that the grass roots are
often killed out entirely. This is no
~overdrawn picture. Now how can q
COW give q good yield of milk or young
cattle take on much growth or fish
under suca conditions, unless they get
a satisfactory feed and in reasonable
time they cannot spare the time needed
for rest and to chew their cud. Every
farmer should have two or more pas
lures. Mich COWS do better alone, but
if that cannot be had, there should be
at least two pastures 30 that n Of
them could be rested a while, and il
suitable weather prevails two or three
weeks will start the grass 30 that when
you turn on it again just watch the
difference in growth and yield and see
the grass start up in the one vacated.
This is q better way than if the mum
Der of acres were all in one lot. Ihope
those interested will, try it.
Where cattle are compelled to eat
of the blades of grass scarcely an inch
high and probably destroy others just
peeping out, ten days, If left to grow,
would furnish twenty times as much
feed and no injury ecu to the roots.
People tell of leaks and losses on the
farm, but too close grazing is the big
gest one I know Of. Then there is a
big talk about calves dying from
scours, ETC., but it is generally those
that feed their COWS such a big lot of
stimulating nostrums of different kinds
that makes the milk rank poison to
their offspring. Calves from such
psmpered matrons are as good as sick
81 birth. Cows should be fed almost
entirely on what you al raise on your
own farm and then like common farm
ers, losses would disappear. It is risky
to buy COWS Of some men.

The Magic of a Word.

A party of gentlemen but recently re-

They were stopping at a big hotel, and
on the first evening of their visit were

things built on the principle of dollar
typewriter. You turn the hand around
the dial till it points to what you want,
then you press the button, and the bust
ness office is supposed to do the rest.
The instrument was caused to register
ice water number of times in the re-
gions below, but there was no response.
The thirst kept on increasing and the
gentlemen got hot in the collar. One Of
them spoke of going down and challeng-
ing the clerk and the bellboys to box,

"No, don't do that, +" remarked one
of the gentlemen. "Just watch me-
I'll bet I'll get 'em."
He pranced over to the bell, yanked
the crank around to champagne" and
let it drive. In an incredibly short time
there was knock at the door, and the
boy stuck his head in
