HINTS FOR THE DAIRY.

a cow abominates an unclean per-
son.
Many dairymen feed too much; more
feed too little.
Cows need roots from October to
May for best results.
Sailing the COWS is one of the
things too often neglected.
Do not milk your COWS before they
calve. Reduce the food if udder is get
ting too hot, but do not milk.
There is good reason to believe the
Coiastrum, or first mess, should be di-
rided between the cow and calf.
In dairying brains are needed as
much as "blood;" yet the amount of
brains is not as essential as the
quality.
Most COWS prostrated with fever can
be cured if prompt attention is given.
The remedy is not physic, but warmth.
The greatest blessing that ever comes
to dairyman is sweet-tempered wife,
who can make fine butter. know this
by experience. The wife appreciates
having her husband say nice things
about her and her work. - Midland

DUCKS IN THE PHILIPPINES
HOW the Soldiers OF Gen. Wheaton
Added Good Thing to
Their Rations.

Wednesday morning, March 16, was
the time set for Gen. Wheaton's flying
brigade to sweep the country from
Guadeloupc to Laguna dc Eay. 1t was
rain;- morning, but the ducks at
Pateros liked it all the better for that,
and our boys didn't seem to mind it in
the least. They swept across the coun-
try with irresistible force, and every
thing cleared out of the country but
the ducks OF pateros, and the boys were
we'll pleased at that. Canned beef and
vegetable soup, coffee, and rice are
wholesome. but when it came to weigh
ing such rations in the balance with
canvas-backs or ''any other old duck"
there was not dissenting voice in the
choice. Pateros is the duck farm OF
Luzon. The ducks simply breed and
grow there by the thousand. In fact. SC
thick were they that one soldier, in
speaking to me about it, said:
did you see us? Why, we marched
across the Pasig on their backs. Hon

What, and left them?" 1 asked.
"Oh, no; we marched back again after
we had killed off the barefoots ard eat
our supper on the spot. But, really.

out with a foraging party 10: ducks.

I had been in the islands several
months when the survivors arrived. I
was laid up in my room at the time,
and unable to walk. Here was a great
occasion to serve my journal, and not

sarily I was in deep trouble. But by
good luck his excellency Anson Bur-
lingame was there at the time, on his
way to take up his post in China, where
he did such good work for the United
States. He came and put me on a
stretcher and had me carried to the
hospital where the shipwrecked men
were, and I never needed to ask ques-
ton. He attended to all of that him
SELF and had nothing to do but make
the notes. 1t was like him to take that

Mark Twain's first appearance in an
Eastern magazine was made over the
name of Mike Swain" How it came
about he explains in the November
Century,:
In those early days I had already
published one little thing ('-The Jump
ing F'rog') in an Eastern paper, but l
did not consider that that counted. In
my view, a person who published things
in a mere newspaper could not properly
claim recognition as a Literary Per-
son. he must rise away above that: he
must appear in a magazine. He would
then be a Literary Person; also, he
would be famous-right away. These
two ambitions were strong upon me.
This was in 1866. I prepared my con-
tribution, and then looked around for
the best magazine to go up to glory in.
selected the most important one in
New York. The contribution was ac-
cepted. I signed it Mark Twain" :;
for that name had some currency on
the Pacific Coast, and it was my idea
to spread it all over the world, now, at
this one jump. The article appeared in
the December number, and I sat up a
month waiting for the January num-
Der; for that one would contain the

I did not give the banquet. I had not
written the Mark Twain distinctly;
it was a fresh name to Eastern print

''MacSwain,' do not remember which.
At any rate, was not celebrated, and
1 did not give the banquet. 1 was a
Literary Person, but that was ala

anything important, from playful poetry
to David's, tinctured with ecstauc SAD

till 1 came to the idea Of putting spirit

their never ending quarrel l touched
the essential point at issue without

sense of which is very clear, appeared
to me to tighten the thing up, to give
an air to the whole, without detractlns
from it's seriousness.
The Sciences still remained: There,
too, everything had to be said in a
