One good thing about women's club
is the fact that it enables its members
to tell every week in set sketches just
why the club exists. Another delight
full thing is its placid satisfaction over
the weekly increase in the number of
its members. and in imagining an oppo-
sition on the part of the press and the
public which does not exist. But it
really ought to have its pretty songs,
like the Sunday schools, wherein the
members sing, "Oh, how l love my
dear, dear club" etc.

MERRY WARFARE.
When Two Society Women Hate Zach
Other Cordially.

Other Cordially.
You can't appreciate what may be
embodied in that term bitter-sweet,
sighed Limpton to the Detroit Free
Press man. till you hear two society
women in conversation, each hating
the other fervently, yet smiling, laugh
ing and looking angelic while they are
stabbing each other as cruelty and Wig
orously as though it were duel to The
death. This is between us, but l just
came away from little scene confirm
ing my view of the case. Binckley's
wife had called on mine. Mrs. Blink
ley had said somewhere that Mrs. Limp
ton looked prematurely old, and that
she dressed in execrable taste, con-
sidering her appearance. OF course,
some good friend told Mrs. Limpton.
| expected blue blazes when the two
met, but the event showed far more
diplomacy than is displayed in the
management of international affairs.
When Mrs. Buckley called Mrs. Limp
ton kissed her, chung to her hand, child
ed Ter for not coming oftener, and
then, in the softest tones of solicitude,
asked her If she was troubled with ma
laria, now prevalent. You look so yell
low, she went on, and drawn. | al
ways have you in mind as plump and
rosy. Do take treatment, dear It's
nothing serious laughed Mrs. Binck-
ley. The doctor tells me that person
with strong eyes and teeth always has
wonderful recuperative powers. 1t is
only a matter of a short time and not
at all as though l had stepped per-
manently from my prime into old age.
This was hot shot, for my wife has
worn glasses ever since she was little
| girl, and some of her prettiest teeth
were supplied by dentist, but she
blandly told of how many of her dear
est friends who had a misleading ap-
pearance of health had gone with quick
consumption, and they fell to talking
about hired girls. Woman is a sphinx. F"

He MIXED her once a day and con-
fined her to dry feed and on this treat
ment her udder becomes much swollen.
truth is the cow is about spoiled for
the next year, at least. She is too near
calving to slacken her feed much, or
stop milking her. A COW cannot be
safely dried after she begins to spring
udder. She should be entirely dry two
or three weeks before her udder en-
larges in the least, which would make
eight or nine weeks necessary. Before
| learned this for certain injured
some of my best cows.
H. C. w. could feed his cow just poor
straw and milk her three times a day
and her udder would be likely to swell
for a few weeks before she drops her
calf. Many of our dairy writer's ana
some of our professors declare there
are cows that persist in giving milk
from calf to calf. that to stop milking
them is to spoil them. Prof. Hacker
l believe, says so, but how does IL
come? They are made, not born, ike
kicking cows. They are from good
mixers and they are stuffed with good
feed and MIXED so near calvlng the
first year before an attempt is made TO
dry them that they are not dried at
all and so no attempt is made to ury
them the next year or the next, anu
ever after that COW should be MIXED.
If she Is MIXED IL years she is milked
2 years of the time for nothing. The
average COW will give as much mix
when MIXED ten months OF the year
as the whole year. She will have less
Affections and bring better calves.
Eighty per cent of the bright dairy
men of this country practice what
have told you. The veterinary ADVISOR
OF the Orange Judd Farmer says IN
case cow won't dry, to milk her reg
ular, but few days before she comes
in give the milk to the pigs. (Foor
pigs) Rub her udder with soap llnl-
ment and feed her grain as usual
EPSON salts in pound doses will be
necessary to keep her bowels loose
and cool her system, etc. have asked
near a score of the best dairymen OF
this county lately IL they practice CIV
ing EPSON salts or other physlc 10
their cows about the time OF calving,
or any other time. Not one in twenty
does. This question was discussed at
our Farm Institute the other day, dis
cussed l say The practice was con-
demned almost unanimously. Bro. c.
p. Goodrich told us that the dairymen
of Sheboygan county were too intelli-
gent to continue Epson salts, milking
tubes and rubber plugs. Louisiana,
Texas and Georgia were the places to
advocate such things. Nearly all OF
Iowa's great men agree with me that
all cows can and should have good
rest between calves. Professor Will
son and Curtis, Brothers Bennett and
Gabrilsen and the Wallaces all advo-
cate about the method this writer does.

others would try the Iowa air for few
years and then try writing about how
cows should be treated. l believe my
few visits to Iowa did me good.

The Ontario legislature in its closing
hours passed a bill providing that no
persons shall be employed in the con-
struction Of Subsidized railways in On
tario who are subjects. of any country
which has an alien labor law excluding
Canadians from employment on pub
lie or other works therein. This is
construed to mean that Americans need
not expect employment on Canadian
railways. The legislature also passed
timber regulations, which require all
saw 4ogs cut in Ontario hereafter TO
be made into lumber In Canada.

The agitation over "black bread"
which was started in Chicago has been
transferred to congress. Senator Mason
has introduced bill in the senate plac-
ing an internal revenue tax on blended
-four made from corn flour and wheat
flour mixed. 1t has developed that
nearly all the country south of the
Ohio River is using blended -four, and
that this product has gradually been in
troduced into the northern markets.
It's use has recently increased owing to
the growing scarcity OF good winter
wheat, and the further fact that Joseph
Letter has purchased more than 10000
900 bushels, and is holding it for what
is considered an inevitable rise to $3.50
a bushel. There promises to be battle
royal between the corn and wheat -four
millers.

The fact that a mother whose son
had been killed in a game of foot bali
objected earnestly to bill prohibiting
the game, and the other fact that many
young ladies of Richmond applauded
speeches in the Virginia legislature in
opposition to a similar bill, demon
strate a love of danger on the part OF
the sex which will not permit the other
sex to get away from it. There is a
great deal of the savage in the gentle
bosoms of those persons yet.

Adaptability; deemed priceless in So
cial success, plays no less a part in
business life, as the English cotton
manufacturers have discovered to their
sorrow. Turkey-red handkerchief
were popular in Russia, but the women
wanted them square. The Lancashire
makers sent them oblong. The Russian
shopkeepers protested, but as change
would involve alteration of machinery,
the Russian women had still to screw
the oblong kerchiefs round their heads.
Then the gallant German appeared. He
bowed effusively to feminine fashion,
did not begrudge the needful machin-
cry, got the trade, and deserved it.

his best parable out OF the scene OF b
farmer boy coming back from his
wanderings, and the old farm house
shook that night with rural jubilee;
and who compared himself to a lamb in
the pasture field, and who said that
the eternal God is farmer. declaring,
my father is the husbandman."
Those stone masons do not want to
hear about Christopher Wren. the ar
chitect. who built st. Paul's Cathedral.
1t would be better to tell them how to
carry the hod of brick up the ladder
without slipping, and how on a cold
morning. with the trowel to smooth OFF
the mortar and keep cheerful. and how
to be thankful to God for the plain
food taken from the pail by the road
side. Carpenters, standing amid the
adze. and the bit, and the plane, and
the broad axe, need to be told that
Christ was a carpenter, with his own
hand welding saw and hammer. Oh,
this is tired world, and 1t is an over
worked world. and 1t is an under fed
world. and it is wrung out world, and
men and women need to know that
there Is rest and recuperation in God
and in that religion which was not so
much intended for extraordinary peo-
pie as for ordinary people, because
there are more Of them.
AT an anniversary of deaf and dumb
asylum. one of the children wrote up
on the blackboard words as sublime as
the Had, the Odyssey, and the 'Divina
Commedia" all compressed in one par
agraph. The examiner, in the signs
of the mute language, asked her, "Who
made the world?" The deaf and dumb
girl wrote upon the blackboard. I'm the
beginning God created the heaven and
the earth" The examiner asked her,
For what purpose did Christ come in
to the world?" The deaf and dumb
girl wrote upon the blackboard, This
is faithful saying, and worthy of all
acceptation. that Christ Jesus came in
to the world to save sinners" The
examiner said to her, "Why were you
born deaf and dumb, while l hear and
speak?" She wrote upon the black
board, Even so. Father; for so II
seemeth good in thy sight" Oh. that
we might be baptized with a contented
spirit. The spider draws poison out
of flower. the bee gets honey out OF
a thistle, but happiness is heavenly
elixir, and the contented spirit extracts
1t. not from the rhododendron of the
hills, but from the lily of the valley.

Chief Brown of the Seminole Indians

by two men of his tribe, one of whom
is the father of one of the young In
dams burned at the stake the other
day by mob Of white men. Unable
to secure justice in Oklahoma, the
chief decided to appeal to the national
government, and as result the follow

Two men recently killed by the law
died with protestations of innocence
on their lips, and the result is some
sympathetic comment in their behalf
But we believe the last words of dis
tinguished murderers convicted on
circumstantial evidence have been OF
that character in eight out of ten cases
and it is fair inference that the per-
son capable of murder is likewise ca
pable of the minor crime of lying even
at the moment of his punishment. Pos
sibly, too, he has proclaimed his limo.
cence so many times that he has come
to believe in it himself, however guilty
he may be. 1t is clear bluff; and again
he may have a courteous objection in
behalf of himself to denial of his pre-.
vious important statements.

OF one thing there can be very lit
tie doubt, and that is the greater readi-
ness in conversation of women than
men. A woman can create conversa-
ton, which is very useful thing, and
is frequently found great social diff

which he knows anything at all, I'M
less he be a fool or morbidly reticent,
he can talk about 1t so as to make him
self fairly Ineligible and perhaps in
teresting for those to whom the sub
ject has any interest at all. Men, when
their feeling of enthusiasm is excited,
throw off the slowness and hesitation
which frequently cramp their power in
society, just as they throw off the
physical infirmity of suffering under
the influence of some awakening theme
or some strong sympathy. But the
power of conversation In some women
and not always those of remarkable
ability, is the very art of making bricks
without straw. They will talk to one
by the hour about nothing-that is, on
no particular subject and with no par
ticular object, and talk coherently and
not foolishly and withal very pleasant

to confess, be rather difficult for the

Selling Poultry.

We seldom pass through South
Water street in Chicago that we do
not see many crates of mixed fowls.
Frequently most of these are Of the
scrub variety, and very scrubby at that.
But here and there will be seen pure
bred Plymouth Rock or a b. own Leg
horn, or some equally valuable bird.
Some OF them too have bright red
combs and seem to be on the point OF
beginning the seasons operations in
laying. Sometimes there will be num-
Der of such birds in a crate of twenty.
Were they by themselves they would
find ready sale at an advanced price.
1t is not always convenient for farm
er to ship two small crates instead OF
one large one, but he might in such
cases partition off a part of the crate
for the birds of feather, and not mix
them up with the scrubs. 1t sometimes
happens that South Water street man
takes advantage of this fact and goes
up and down the street gathering up at
pound rates certain kinds of birds. he
puts them by themselves in a crate
and sets them up at a fancy price,
which he often gets. AS with apples
and other fruit so with chickens, mixed
lots are sold at a disadvantage.

Scale and Pruning.-The appearance
Of the San Jose scale may make prun-
ing more popular, since the fewer
limbs of tree and the fewer branches
the easier will it be to inspect 1t and
to see that no scales are on 1t. 1t will
make it easier to treat with spray or
wash and when the leaves come will
make 1t easier to inspect for all kinds
Of enemies. And since an equal amount
of fruit may be grown on less wood
than is usually the custom, the Farm
ers' Review believes that thriftiness
may result from the dreaded invasion
of the scale.
