1 would have done so without word

''It is very kind of you," said Myr-

accept it at your hands"
"Will you let me fnish?" said
Julian, with certain srbitrariness
which Myrtle did not dislike. "Will
you let me speak out all that is in my
heart? Will you let me tell you that
L love you dearly, and have long de-
termined, if it we're possible, to win
you-to make you my wife?"

Fattening Old Cows,

There is a widespread popular
prejudice against COW beef, and we
suspect that the doctors are very
largely responsible for it. Yet we
have so often eaten tender and sweet
COW beef that our experience long ago
taught us that its quality was much
more dependent on the way it had
been fattened than it was on the age
of the COW. But it is, nevertheless,
true it is more difficult to fatten an
old COW, or an old animal of any kind,
than it is to fatten young animals As
the teeth begin to fail the food is not
so well masticated as it used to be,
and as consequence digestion is re-
tarded. The presence of undigested
food in the stomach creates fever, and
in this diseased condition not only
does the animal fatten less rapidly,
but what flesh is put on is less tender
and sweet than it should be. The
common practice of fattening COWS
with corn and milking them so long as
they can be millzed helps to make poor
beef. The water and fat that go into
the milk are both much more needed
in the beef to make it as good as it
should be.
A COW properly fattened should be
given as much succulent food as she
will eat, and at first fed with grain or
meal rather sparingly. If she is very
thin in flesh her beef may be made all
the better, provided this condition
does not show the impairment of her
digestive organs. When n COW is fat
tened that when you begin feeding her
is little more than skin and bones,
with enough flesh to hold them to-
gether, it stands to reason that most
of the flesh and fat you can put on her
by three or four months good feeding
will be new flesh and fat and just as
good as if put on two-year- ar-old heifer.
The bodily system is being constantly
changed by the small veins which run
through the flesh, and which are al
ways carrying off waste matter and re-
placing it with new. The old saying
used to be that the living body is
wholly renewed every seven years.
But scientists are now agreed that
most parts of it are renewed much
quicker than this, as any one may see
by the rapid healing of cut or bruise
when air and the germs it contains are
excluded from it.
Old COWS sell at ridiculously low
prices, as may be seen each week in
the market reports. One weighing
9S5 pounds was during recent week
sold for only SIG. This COW may have
been thin in flesh, but if she was in
good health she would well repay
proper fattening. Since ensilage is
now so common it is much easier to
properly fatten old COWS than it used
to be when they were mainly fattened
on dry hay, cornstalks and corn,
neither of them the best material for
making sweet and tender beef. If
those who fatten old COWS would make
an effort to do this properly, COW beef
might be made much better than it is,
and the unreasonable prejudice against
| it would disappear.

These are often troublesome in the
spring. They come out of the soil and
cut the little Seeding plants off close
to the ground, then burrow. They
may be unearthed in the morning and
destroyed. 1t is better, however, to
spade the soil up in time, and let the
pests die from the effect of frost dur

means of ridding the soil of these

One of the farm economies which we
hope to see in every neighborhood,
if not on every farm, are small portable
mills run by two or three-horse power
engines, with which all the coarse grain
needed for feeding to stock
may be ground. This will provide
profitable winter work on farms, of
which there is now far too little. 1t
will also save much expense, not only
In millers' tolls, but also in the cost of
making trip to mill with horses
or wagons or sleighs, and probably
waiting several hours while the grist
was being ground. Many day we
have spent thus, with no profit except
to the miller, while if we had farm
mill, and even a horse power, we
could have made the horses grind
their own feed without much more la
Dor than is required to draw q grist of
grain to the mill and return, and per-
haps in stormy day at that. All
grain is much better for stock after it
is ground. 1t can then be mixed with
cut hay or straw, all of which should
also be cut by horse or steam power
rather than by hand. The farm mill
is now sold at very reasonable rates,
and one of suitable size to do oil the
grinding required on the farm ought
to be in the possession of every farm

1t was not without good reason that
Eastern farmers abandoned flax
growing. Its doom was sealed when
the cotton gin and successive improve
ments in cotton-spinning machinery
made cotton goods so cheap that they
have almost entirely superseded for
common wear those of fax. In win
ter even q good part of the clothing is
made of cotton, though woolen may be
worn next the skin and in the outer
garments. Flax is an expensive crop
for the farmer to grow. If the most
possible is to be made from it, the fax
must be pulled, and the entire plant
immersed in water until its woody
fibre has rotted. 1t is expensive in
still another way, also. No crop takes
80 much nitrogen from the soil, and,
as usually managed, makes no return.
The seed is sold at very low prices to
the oil mills, which extract the oil
and dispose of the meal that is left
after grinding the flax as by product.
Whoever buys this linsaed meal and
feeds it gets q double benefit. The

if fed to stock, and excrement made
from it is worth nearly as much as the
meal costs. For this reason the East
ern farmer is often an extensive buyer
of oil meal, but he very seldom, in
these days, grows the flax from
which it is made. Spinning and
weaving flax, once so common among
New England housewives, have be-
come really lost arts since the increas-
ing popularity of cotton.
The cotton has also been so greatly
reduced in price that it is very unlike
ly that the days will ever return when
flax will be as extensively used for
clothing as it was within the memory
of elderly people. And yet for sum
mer wear and for durability linen gar
ments are so much superior to cotton
goods that they will always be
used. But the work of managing the
flax from the field to the loom is now
largely left to machinery driven by
steam or water power, instead of be-
ing operated by human hand labor
