7 NUSUAL significance is attached
to Memorial day, which will be
more generally observed to-day
~ than it has ever been Dur
ing the long interim of peace
after the close of the rebellion the day
gradually came to be regarded as more
of a holiday than one set apart in
which to pay some slight tribute to the
nations fallen heroes. but within the
year the country has passed through
another struggle that has proved not
so sanguinary as the four years fight
ing of '61-5, but still has added many
names to the honor roll.
In addition to those of that matchless
army that subjugated their rebellious
brethren of the South. who have re-
sponded to the final roll call during the
year-and the grizzled veterans ranks

of their sons who responded to the
more recent call to arms have found
soldiers graves. On the slopes of Ell
Caney, Siboney and Santiago: in the
sWampS and morasseS of the far-off
Philippines; in the cemeteries of every
State in the Union sleep those who
gave their lives to their country as
freely as did their fathers a third OF
a century ago
To-day the graves of these younger
heroes will be moistened with tears and
garlanded with sweet blossoms as well
as those of that former generation:
loving memories will go out to those
who sleep on foreign shores as we'll

Cows. and the Milking Period.

Cows have individual peculiarities
some will give a lot of milk for short
time; others moderate amount for a
long time; some lot of Thin milk, and
others small amount of very rich milk
The standard mich COW of today is as
much an artificial creation as is the
Poland China hog, the native COW OF
south America, Texas, in fact, any
country where cattle run at large, never
giving milk in excess of enough to raise
her caif, and having the tactical period
limited to four or five months at the
furthest. This milking faculty, as re-
CURED in the standard dairy COW, being
thus largely of artificial origin, explains
why feed, care and regularity of milking
are indispensable in the maintenance OF
the faculty, and further explains the
importance of giving the heifer with her
first calf special care to properly develop
the tactical tendency in her.

Why?

Somebody tell US where is the sense in
selecting new spot each year in the
middle o. the field to stack the grain
and get az a result one of the biggest
instances on the farm in the shape of a
pile Of old rotting straw that will be in
the way for four or five years, or if burn;
ed off sooner, Will practically spoil the
land occupied by it for crop for that
length OF time. Why not take some
corner Of the field, or the edge of some
slough, or better yet, haul the grain to
the barn yard and have the straw con-
verted into a valuable fertilizer?
