WATERTOWN.

GOOD FARMERS DIFFER IN METHODS.
 At last weeks meeting of the Water town Grange, P. of'H., committee was appointed to draft resolutions on the death of the late Mrs H, l.. Bishor. During the lecturers hour the question of ratiOns for milch COW was taken up and discussed. A good deal of differ ence of opinion was manifested by those who spoke on the subject, some claim irg one kind of ration as the best and others asserting that the same rations had driven their cows dry. The great est difference of opinion was shown in re. gard to Baum's food, some claiming gOnd results from it and others just the opposite. The question of feeding tur- nips also came in for it's share of consid- eration. One member claimed that he particularly avoided the feeding of tur- nips to milch COWS and another went so far as to say that in one case, where the calves were allowed to feed on the milk from cows kept on turnip diet, the calves almost died from the bad effect of the milk. Another clslmed that he al- ways found good results from judicious feeding of turnips and had no difficulty with either bad milk or butter. This, we suppose, Is where doctors differ.

A GOOD STORY.

A good story is told of one of our resi- dents who, although he may not always be right, yet you can bet cookie that he seldom gets left. He is stock fam cier and thrifty farmer and often has loads of golden pie-fruit, gathered from his corn-field. A friend who lives in neiRhboring town chanced to be passing one day, and seeing 8 pile of the shining yellow pumpkins in the yard, asked if he might have one; he was cordially invited to "help" himself; 80 backing his team up to the pile, he selected half-dozen Of the finest specimens and coolly drove of with them. Now this friend ia also a fancier and grower of choice peaches for which he finds ready sale at top prices. The farmer friend casually made fraternal return call at his beach, growing friends house, and after a few minutes pleasant chat he was taking leave and always having an eye for something ''nice,' noticed in the hall several large baskets of very fine peaches; being man of resource and hSbiOhs Uc&du bO expatiate upon the beauty and excel lence of the blushing fruit. The beach, grower hospitably invited his friend to "help'' himself, so the nimble farmer, with profuse thanks quickly lifted heaping basket of the luscious fruit and placing it in his buggy coolIy drove of with smile on his face which like An Sins was 'child-like and bland."-[Con- tributor.
