NERVES AND FOOD.
Nervous Cows (.ise the Greatest
Amount Of Good Milk.


Amount of Good Milk.
1t Is the nervous COW that gives the
greatest amount of good milk, says c..
w. Jones in the Boston Cultivator.
One inclined to go to fat makes an ex-
| cellent beef COW, but a relatively poor
mixer AS the nervous COW is apt to
be smaller in proportion than a large
fat, beef making COW, the idea gains
some headway that she requires less
food. Indeed, there is a tendency In
some quarters to reason that q cow
needs food in proportion to her size
that Is, large COW requires more
than small one. This is an error of
most pronounced order. 1t is nervous
energy that absorbs and uses up food,
and it requires more to feed such a ma
ture than it does one of a phlegmatic
disposition. If anything the opposite
to what Is true in general practice
should be observed. More rich and
highly concentrated food should be
given to the small mixer than to the
large beef maker. The good mixer, if
her digestion is good, can change more
of her food into milk than another ami
NAL can convert into beef or fat. A
good deal Of this food that is given to
the mixer is converted directly into
milk and is thus more profitable than
when fed to the beef cattle.
The nervous animals mechanism is
more easily deranged than that Of the
heavy, beef making animal. A plow
horse can stand more abuse than the
high strung race horse. Many dairy
men do not appreciate this thoroughly
either in their feeding or caring for
good milk cows. AS the whole value
of the animals products depends very
closely upon the condition of her diges-
ton study should be made constantly
of the cows health. In normal con-
dition she can take great amount Of
food and convert it directly into milk.
This food should be given with the
best possible caution, SO that it will not
injure the health of the animal Give
all to the cow that she will eat up
clean is good rule to go by, but if her
appetite declines there is something
wrong with her digestion that needs
instant attention Very frequently this
cause is so simple that one overlooks
it. In nervous cow a sudden fright,
undue excitement or running in the
field or anything that will upset the
nerves may cause the flow of milk to
stop temporarily and upset the diges-
ton so that the full quantity of milk
will not be given for weeks. 1t is to
guard against such slight accidents
that the dairyman must exercise his
supervision and authority. His cows
are high strung milking machines that
easily give out under abuse or misuse.

The Tide Ran Away,

He had dared to perpetrate an orig

In vain he wriggled
The cruel waters were rising beneath
him. The tide was coming in

looked down and noticed that the little
waves We're tapping at his shoe-"I'm
afraid that one tied will not affect the
other" And he laughed harshly.
Anyway" he added moment later,

The tide rose faster. 1t was at his
knee. his waist. his elbow, his neck
Just as it reached his chin he gave
one final glance across the sparkling
waves and muttered:

Whereupon the tide turned and ran
out.
He was saved.-Cleveland Plain

SIM all Celery Best.

There is great difference in the
quality OF clery, and this makes the
size matter of comparatively little
account. The giant varieties of celery
are now superseded in favor Of dwarf
kinds that are crisp and nutty in fla.
vor. Something, however, depends on
the soil and method Of growing. A
moist soil makes the celery grow much
fuller Of its native juices than one
which is dry.

studied law, but never practiced. pre-
ferring to engage in business as
merchant and banker. At the age OF
29 his merits were so well recognized
by the people that he was made MEM
Der Of the convention that framed the
first constitution of the state. and after
that for eight years he served in the
state senate In the national republican
convention which nominated Abraham
Lincoln for the presidency, Saunders
had a seat. and the following year he
was made governor of the territory of
Nebraska, an office he held until 1867.
when Nebraska was made a state. At
the beginning of the war Nebraska had
a population of only $4,000. but under
Gov. Saunders leadership it furnished
1000 men for the national armies, at
the same time carrying on successful
operations against hostile Indians.
AS commissioner to organize the Pa
cific railway, the governor was instru-
mental in causing the Union Pacific
to cross the Missouri river at Omaha
instead of at a point lower down the
stream, and all during the time OF
construction of the road he interested
himself in its progress. In 1868 he
was again a member of q republican
national convention From 1S77-S3 he
served in the United States senate.
One of his greatest accomplishments

The Russians drink enormous guam
titles of tea, sufficient to brighten any
Englishman or American. The poor
people-and the Russian people are
the poorest in existence-use the So
called brick, tea. This is the cheap
est sort, being mixed with stems. and
compressed by some adhesive gum into
dry cakes of various sizes, resembling
in its appearance plug. tobacco This
tea, which would probably prove pois-
onous to any one else. is consumed by
the Russian workingman at the aver
age rate of about twenty stakans Tor

being quite equal to five of the little

ings are usually the chief articles Of
food of the people at large. one must
not wonder at the enormous quantity

human skill have been brought into
operation, with the result that a
watch has been constructed which
measures less than one-quarter Of an
inch in diameter. or one with a face
OF about the size OF the head of large
sized tack or nail. The case is made OF
the very finest of gold. and the whole
watch weighs less than two grains

to make an ounce, and IL ounces con-
stitute pound. or $3.50 grains are con-
tanned in a pound. This wonderful
piece of mechanism weighs only one

curiosity was this midget considered
that its owner paid sl.946-60 for it, and
would not sell it for twice that amount
The numerals ON the face are in
