MIXERS AND MILKING.
Right Proportion for the Aver
age Farm EmpIoye.

There seems to be a great deal of
discussion among the farmers in differ
ent localities nowadays in regard to
the subject of good mixers. The re-
mark that it is row almost impossible
TO find good mixers is quite frequent
ly heard among dairymen. This is a
great mistake, says a writer in Rural
New Yorker. | thoroughly believe that
there are just as good mixers in this
and other localities as there ever were,
if not better.
The farmer who depends on day
hands for his help, as a general rule,
is the one who complains most bitterly
in regard to this matter. The average
man who is hired by the day will not
milk even if he can. Wherever or when
ever | find good month hand, one who
stays on the farm continually, one who
is not constantly listening for the
sound of the six o'clock whistle, one
who does not go TO town every night,
/ find good mixer.
A COW should be MIXED as quickly
as possible. A good mixer can milk IL
cows an hour. The muscles Of the fore
arm, wrist and hands of good mixer
must be well developed; therefore, as
a rule, women are poor mixers. They
require too much time to milk COW.
The evil resulting from this practice
is that the cows do not readily give
down their milk. Some farmers ex-
pect a man to do too much of this work.
The number of cows that man milks
should depend on the amount and ma
ture of other labor that he performs.
As a rule, ! do not believe that man
should be allowed to milk more than

sUNKHAzER FLIES OF MAINE.
Worse Than Jersey Mosquitoes ana
kissing bugs Have No Chance
with Them.

Since reading in the newspapers of the
kissing bug and his doings all the people in
rural Maine have taken to capturing bugs
andinsectsof all sorts and bringing the speci-
mems TO town Tor examination by newspa-
per men and naturalists Countless are the
kinds OF bugs that have been taken to
Bangor IN bottles, boxes and preserve Jars,
and the eaptors all seem to be sorely dis
appointed when told that instead OF the gen.
uine kisser they have a moth killer, a lace
winged fly, or something quite common and
harmless.
A man came from Neazie to Bangor the
other day with a ferocious-looking bug
corked up in a preserve jar and claimed the
credit OF having captured the first kissing
bug IN that part OF the country. 1t was not
the famous kissing bug that he had, but ma
tive bug somewhat resembling a small lob
ster with wings.
II don't care hang, declared the Veazie
man, when told that he must try again.
These fellers kin lick the stuffin' out Of
Sunkhazers, and that's what none of your
common bugs kin do.
Not many people living far away from
Bangor know what a "SunkhaZer' is like.
1t is a ferocious big fly that infests the flats
and meadows about Sunkhaze deadwater,
a place in the Penobscot river where the
are RATED The Sunkhazers are the pest
of the loggers, upon whom they feast to
their hearts content, and nothing can drive
them away. They are four times the size of
the famed mosquitoes of Jersey, and any
Maine man will back one of them against a
dozen kissing bugs in fair stand-up fight.
Maine folks have, probably, no kissing bugs,
but so long as the Sunkhazers survive they
will not feel lonesome.-N. Y. Sun.

States; and / want the sign to stand
for some time"
Consul Bedloe once narrated a story
of how he saved the life of the chief
of a Formosan province, by little bit
of surgery, how the chief expressed his
gratitude, and how he undertook to
reward Bedloe by giving him his
daughter, the princess, in marriage;
and how Bedloe got out of the matri-
monial difficulty. He bowed low to the
chief, thanked him for his great con-
sideration and kindness, and said: Il
am soon to be obliged to go to the
United States. If | do not go, the EN-
peror of my country will take off my
head. If | marry your beautiful
daughter, and take her with me, she
will be my seventh wife. In my coun-
try, all of the wives, after the third, are
made slaves of the first three; and they
are badly treated by the jealous three.
Therefore it would be improper for me
to abuse your kindness by making your
princess daughter a slave. But. when
! come here again, shall hope to have
the pleasure of taking your daughter
for my wife; for then | will not be
obliged to return to my own country,
as long as | live"
The great chief appreciated this deli
cate consideration of his daughter and
gave Dr. Bedloe a rare coin which he
still keeps. In lieu of giving Bedloe
his daughter, the chief gave him a
feast; and the whole town sat down to
barbecue of roast pig.

the Eighty Million Club" American
visitors knew what it meant; but his
English visitors invariably asked what
were the rules of the club. Consul
Bedloe had the rules printed, and hand
ed his visitors a card on which the fol-
lowing was printed
Rule /. This club consists Of all Ameri-
can citizens, wheresoever dispersed on the

Rule q The objects OF the club are the

Bedloe is. His consulate is wide open
to all visiting Americans, and every

According to Consul General Mason

As trained officials belonging to the
privileged class many of the imperial

The two propositions now under con-

been found to work well in the German

their stead experienced and capable

Office a definite commercial character,

are performed by young attaches

There is a general demand that the

THE DEAD SOLDIER BOY.


He fell not in fierce battle.
He died not in the fray
Upon no shout of triumph
His spirit passed away.
But weak and worn with fever,
OF camp abuses bred,
Death took him. brave young soldier,
Whom love and glory led.
A year ago-ah, pityi-
How bright and brave his dream!
He saw the banners blowing,
The bayonets a-gleam,
Then rang the longed-fcr summons,
The beating OF the drums.
Alasl the rose of glory
That ne'er to blooming comes.
The brief, proud pageant over,
In southern camp they bore
The lc ng and weary waiting
For bays they never wore.
And there our soldier sickened;
They missed him from his place
No more toward fame or glory
He turned his longing face
But died he not a hero?
Ayel noblest OF the brave.
His life, all unrewarded
By victor's palm, he gave.
His sacrifice the greatest
That patriot can make
He yielded his sweet manhood,
Cncrowned for country's sake.
Then Ger that wasted body
Our shining banner spread,
And lay wreath of myrtle
Upon the soldiers head
. mother, father, sweetheart,
Ye are not all who weep
Beneath the nations tablet
Your soldier boy shall sleep!
