DAIRY MANAGEMENT.
How to Keep the Cows In "A Prime
Condition of Health and In
sure Pccuniary Success.

Twice each day, ii times each week,
our cows are driven from the field to
the stable during pasture season and
MIXED, each cow tied in her own stall
and fed a supplementary ration of
grain, but not a balanced one except
that it aids digestion and assimilation
with pasture consumed during the day
This grain ration is made up largely of
bran, with 25 per cent. of chop added.
We do not feed grain for the purpose Of
quieting our cows, but for the specific
purpose of obtaining revenue, and al
ways feel that it pays to do it in such
a degree as good judgment permits.
Our COWS are driven quietly to and
from field, which is not far, nor should
1T be distant. We saw man go one
mile to rented pasture to milk. This
was on the right side of economy as
against driving cows the distance TO
and from pasture. We fear some of our
dairymen are not sufficiently carefdl
during the summer in caring for
stables, keeping them cleanIy and re-
moving daily some of the products that
soon produce noisome odors. Every
thing should be kept absolutely clean
and every stain busted with gypsum or
what is almost as good, common road
dust.
Almost daily our stalls are swept and
the walk behind treated likewise, SO
that they present a tempting place for
the cows to go to eat and rest while
they are speedily pailed We advocate
rapid milking when done in mastery
way. In fly time burlap cover closed
up at the rear is thrown over a cow
while milking her, and she stands per-
fectly quiet and cannot use her tail to
the annoyance of the mixer. Udders
and teats are busted before milking,
thus avoiding foreign substances get
ting into the milk, which we consider
very important. At once after COWS are
milked they are turned out to avoid
soiling the trench. We are poor au-
thority on kicking cows. The best way
to break them is not to have them
Kicking COWS are, we think, the result
Of poor handling and raining.-George
K. Scott, in National Stockman.

GREATLY FRIGHTENED.
A Young Lsdy's Experience I'm a Hnii-
way Car,

A young lady who lately journeyed
from Wimbledon to London had a very
uncomfortable adventure. She reached
the station just as the train was start
ing, and had only time to jump in to the
first compartment, where she dropped
upon a seat. Not until the train was in
motion did she notice that she had a
single fellow-passenger, man, young,
well-dressed, but of a somewhat for
bidding aspect.
The young lady unfolded a newspa-
per and began to read, but as the first
station was passed she chanced to
glance again toward the other end of
the carriage. The man was there, but
his face was no longer serene. He ap-
peared to be greatly agitated, and was
gazing intently in the direction of the
young lady.
A sudden, overwhelming fear took
possession of her. All the wild stories
of railway murders to which she had
ever listened rushed through her mind.
She felt herself doomed. She thought
of shrieking for help, but her tongue
refused to move.

looked anxiously about him, appar-
emily to assure himself that the time
was ripe for his murderous design.
Then he advanced to the other end of
the carriage, came quite close to his
panic-stricken fellow-passenger, and
put his right hand in his overcoat
pocket. Was he feeling for knife, or
revolver? Springing to her feet, the
frightened traveller faced him in de-
spair.
What do you mean?" she cried, half
fainting with fear.
He bent toward her, smiled grimly,
and said:
Excuse me, mada1. I offer you ten
thousand apologies if | have alarmed
you. Such a thing was farthest from
my thoughts, but the .act is, have to
alight at the next station, and since you
entered the train you have been sitting
on my hat"
The revulsion of feeling ou the lady's
part can be better imagined than de-
scribed. Bushes took the place of
panic. Fortunately the hat was soft

HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN.

Do not depend on beauty OF form in
the selection of the good dairy COW
alone One among the best butter cows
we ever possessed was of undeniable
scrub" origin and exceedingly angular.
While great many people find fault
with the Devon on account of their long
horns, yet they have proven themselves
a good beef cattle; besides, they have
excellent milking qualities.
In the Elgin district there are prob.
ably produced 100000 pounds of but
ter per day, which would require 2,5OO.-
coo pounds of milk and a loss of ten
cents per hundred would mean a loss OF
50 500 per day, or nearly $l.000,0O0 a
year.
One really good COW will furnish as
much milk as two ordinary ones, while
the one will cost but half as much as
the two for keeping. In the latter case
the profit all goes in keeping the extra
COW. If we would prosper we must
keep our wits awake.
Skip one feeding period after the calf
is removed so it will have good appe-
tite. then give from three to four pints
of whole milk fresh from the COW; it
will then drink without the finger.
Feed only twice day and the first week
feed it's mothers milk fresh Western

DUTY.

Thank God once more for Duty! when we lie
with some hot anguish on our brow,
Or walk in weakness meath some heavy
load,
Or fall by the wayside. while the world
Goes on with all its merry whirl of noise,
And never heeds that one Is left behind;
And when our longing eyes scan spaces far.
And see through clouds the red sun moving
down
The western slopes of sky; or when we hear
The voices of the loiterers wandering by.
Who bear away the last faint hope OF
Then, then thank God for Duty! bending
near.
Like dear. old-fashioned. half-forgotten
friend.
Who stopped at home while JOY was of our
guests.
But who. when youth and strength and
courage fair
Have fed and left us shadowed by despair,
Comes softly in and by the bedside bends.
with touch so tender and voice so true
That healing drops upon us as her gift.
Full simple clad is she-no gorgeous robe
Rustles and shines obtrusive on sick sight.
But softest gray and white, like garb of
And nun-like. too. she keeps in sight her
cross:
Her hands untremblingly hold the bitter
cup
That. hard to drink. yet quickens the tired
pulse,
And lifts us up to go our way again.
Aye. more than this soft-stepped along the
road
Hour after hour she Journeys by our side.
Faithful with cup, with staff. with warning
word,
And though no traveller cheer the way,
She makes the westward journey all aglow
With light. such as shall be at eventide,
On paths where shadows of her sweet cross
fall.

fruits, and above all, the lights that be-
gan to shine in the town, made most
charming contrast to our dark and
bloody sojourn on the island; and the
doctor and the squire, taking me along
with them, went ashore to pass the
early part of the night. Here they met
the captain of an English man-ofwar,
fell in talk with him, went on board
his ship, and, in short, had so agreeable
a time that day was breaking when we
came alongside the "Hispaniola."
Ben Gunn was on deck alone, and, as
soon as we came on board, he began,
with wonderful contortions, to make us
a confession. Silver was gone. The

a shore boat some hours ago, and he now
assured us he had only done SO to pre-
serve our lives, which would certainly
have been forfeited if that man with
the one leg had stayed aboard" But this
was not all. The sea cook had not gone
empty-handed. He had cut through a
bulkhead unobserved, and had removed

Well, to make a long story short, we

sand. Before big fire lay Capt. Smol-
let; and in a far corner. only duskily
f1ickered over by the blaze, beheld
great heaps of coin and quadrilaterals
built of bars of gold. That was Flint's
treasure that we had come so far to
seek, and that had cost already the lives
of II men from the "Hispaniola." How
many ii had cost in the amassing, what
blood and sorrow, what good ships scut-
tied on the deep, what brave men walk
ing the plank bHndfold, what shot of
cannon, what shame and lies and cruel
ty, perhaps no man alive could tell.
Yet there were still three upon that
island-Silver, and old Morgan, and
Ben Gunn-who had each taken his
share in these crimes, as each had hoped
in vain to share in the reward.
Come in, jim" said the captain.
"You're a good boy in your line, Jim;
but l don't think you and nell go to
sea again. You're too much of the
born favorite for me. Is that you, John
Silver? What brings you here, MANI"
Come back to do my dooty, sir" re-
turned Silver.
"Ah!" said the captain; and that was
all he said.
What supper had of it that night,
with all my friends around me; and
what meal it was, with Ben Gums
salted goat, and some delicacies and
bottle of old wine from the "Hispa-
niola." Never. l am sure, were people
gayer or happier. And there was Silver,

but eating heartily, prompt to spring
forward when anything was wanted,

Tells no ElntterinE Tale.

No doubt the human race would con-
slider it little short of universal trag-
edy if there were no looking gllsses
Yet, in spite of their widespread use,
it is an astonishing fact that none of us
have ever seen ourselves as others see
us. In the first place, the reflection
in the mirror does not portray our like
ness with any attempt at accuracy
The hair is wrong in tone; the eyes are
not correct in color, and our COM
Plexions are hopelessly libeled by this
specious household deceiver. 1t is
certain that if the looking glasses spoke
the truth the sale of various complexion
washes would decrease to half, for any
fair skin LOOKS gray and pallid in the
glass, and numbers of women who
have splendid complexions ruin them
by trying to improve them because
they look bad in the mirror. You may
be certain that, however plain your
face seems, it is by no means so plain
as it appears in the telltale mirror
Secondly, you cannot assume your
natural expression while peering in
the looking glass. The eye must be in
a certain position before you can see
at all, and the eye, so far as expression
is concerned, governs the face. The
consequence is that you can see only
one of your expressions in the glass
and that expression is one Of attentive
examination. All the other express
sions by which your friends know you.
