ABSURDITIES IN ART.

Many strange conceptions in art oc-
cur in the pictures of the great fif.
teenth-century artist, Benozze Coz
zoli. Three of his paintings were orig
irally in the possession of the Medici
family. and portray THE Journey OF
the Magi." Horses and camels appear
in the picture, caparisoned after the
fashion of the artists own time.
Claude. the French artist, has some
curious ideas in his picture entitled
THE Embarkaton of the Queen of
Sheba." The queen of the east is de.
scending marble steps and about to en-
ter gondola. A huge warship in the
distance, whittier the queen is to be
carried, is of the type used in the days
ST the Spanish armada.
Ridicule easily kills picture and
many works exhibited of late in Eng.
land have been downed through some
mistake Of the artist. For instance, a
picture which at first attracted meri
torious attention was found to consist
OF four men in boat rescuing a drown
ing woman, but all the rescuers were
leaning over one side of the boat, which
nevertheless, remained upright.

Fresh Cows vs.. StripDers.

There is an advantage in having
cows fresh in milk at the beginning of
winter as regards the amount of but
ter dairy OF fresh cows will afford
over a herd that has been MIXED
part or whole of the summer More
products and better prices for it, is
urged as among the advantages. While
this is true, so there are some other
things to be taken into account be-
fore a very radical change is made in
this direction. While the rule may be
that higher prices are obtained for
winter butter, the difference is not so
great when we take into consideration
that it costs more on most dairy
farms to make butter in winter than
in summer. Figure as we may, good
summer pasturage affords the cheap
est butter producing food. But few
dairymen, as rule, feed grain
through the summer season to their
cows. A COW will give more milk on
grass alone than she will on dry fod-
der and grain, as average farmers feed
their cows. Ii is less work to care for
dairy in summer than in winter, as
the markets have ranged for the past
five years the difference in price for
butter in winter over summer has
been but trifie.-Practical Dairyman.

think This a pretty liberal fertilizlng,
more especially as it is often claimed
that the corn crop responds less read
lily to fertilizers than most any other
crop. Such has not been our expert
ence. Commercial fertilizers, if used
at all, should be used in adequate
quantity to supply the needs of the
crop. Applications of 200 pounds of
low grade fertilizer per acre annually,
will starve any land to death, impov-
erish the owner, and oftentimes
"cuss' fertilizers, those who manu-
facture them, and those who recon-
mend their use. These homeopathic
doses of an inferior article cannot be
too often or too strongly condemned
For the oats, complete fertilizer, in
which nitrogen and potash preponGcr-
ates, is needed. Cotton seed meal
800 pounds, muriate of potash 100
pounds, and acid phosphate 200
pounds, with top-dressing of 80 to
100 pounds of nitrate of soda spring,
will give good results onall light sandy
or well-worn soils, when all other in
fiuencing or controlling factors favor.
Throughout the entire south, we no.
tice tendency among farmers to
purchase Kainit in preference to the
other salts of potash, we presume, be-
cause it is lowest in price per ton. A
ton of kainit at $13 is dearer than
ton of muriate at $45; while the freight
on each would be the same, the form
er would contain but 24O pounds of
pure potash to the ton, while the lat
ter is half potash, or 1000 pounds to
the ton. On the score of economy, if
from no other cause, this latter fact
should be born in mind. In building
up the worn soils of the south humus
is of the first and greatest import
ance. Best results with chemical or
commercial fertilizers, cannot be OBJ
tanned and need not be expected, in
its absence, or without it's aid; hence
nothing should be burned that can be
turned under by the pillow. The best
use we have found for stable manure
rakings and scrapings of lot, cowpen,
ETC., is to Use them in top-dressing the
poorer spots of the farm, thereby
bringing up and increasing the aver
age. Wheat, followed by peas, might
be made to take the place of the oats,
in above rotation; or, better still, both
might be raised but until we have
greater facilities in the country for
harvesting, threshing and grinding,
we see but little inducement or en-
| couragement to SOW either. Think of
cutting with the cradle, threshing out
over barrel and then hauling the
grain 10 miles to the nearest Touring
mill to get it ground. That is the
chance now. We hope we may be par
dcned for preferring to take ours in
raising four-cent cotton.-G. H..
Turner, in Texas Farm and Ranch.

AVAILABLE TESTIMONY.
Himself, But the Lawyer
Didn't Know 1t.

A story told by Maj. Menzes is being cir.
culated through the offices in the state
house, of VincenDes lawyer who appeared
for the defendant in a trial by jury and
put on the witness stand boy from whose
testimony he expected to gain great deal.
To the confusion of the attorney, the story
told by the boy was greatly to the detri-
ment of the defendant, and the attorney set
to work to show that the boy was worth
less"
What is your occupation~ he asked
the boy.
Il work on my fathers farm" the wit
ness replied.
"You don't do much but sit around, do
you~
well, I help my father"
but you're worthless, aren't you" was
the attorneys decisive question.
Il don't know whether | am or not" re-
torted the witness, warmly
Then the attorney took another tack.
"Your fathers worthless man, isn't he ?"
"Well, he works about the farm"
The attorney here fastened an eye which
cleaned with triumph on the jury and
nailed the boy with glance from the other
and said:
isn't it true that yonr father doesn't do
enough work to prevent his being called
worthless"
The boy had chafed under these unpleas-
ant questions, and summoning his courage,
he said loudly, "If you want to know so bad
whether my fathers worthless, ask him;
there he is, on the jury. indianapolis

cult End.

A local banker Of small Iowa town was
called suddenly to larger town at consid.
cradle Of a distance to intercept his clipping
daughter, who had been visiting there. In
order to get there that day he would have
to change cars at Des MONIES and the train
that connected with the Des Moines train
left earlier in the day. Consulting his time
table, he learned that the train he would be
obliged to board reached Des Moines just
10 minutes after the train for B, his
destination, pulled out. Remembering an
old adage of his cashier: "He who works the
greatest bluff WINS" he sent the following
message to the Des Moines train officials:
Hold the 2:30 train until | arrive
H9aG. G. BLANK"
Not knowing but that G. G. Blank was
in some way highly connected with the
road and fearing to incur his displeasure,
the bluff" worked. When he stepped off
the train at Des Moines a man hurried to-
ward him, and, lifting his hat respectfully,
inquired: Are you Mr.. Blank
yes"
eve received your message. The train
is waiting"
And that is how G. G. Blank, who is not
known outside his little county, passed for
an official of great and mighty corpora

That breed of cows has not vet
been discovered which will yield an

The fact that it applies no hui

to relying on commercial fertilizer. even
if the plant food it contains could not
be obtained by the general farmer at
less price in the form of feed.

HUNTING THE CHAMOIS.

The chamois belongs to the order OF
the goat antelopes and the animals have
short black horns curving back at the
POINTS.
Chamois are as rule hunted in two
ways-by stalking or driving with
leaters-and hunters say it is one of the
finest sports in existence.
1t is mistake to fancy the chamois
lives only where there is snow and ice
for they are as fond of green fields as
the cattle which Craze on the low slopes
CT the mountains.
The chamois is usually identified with
Switzerland, but the animal is less com
mon there than in any other country
which it inhabits. Austria is the real
home of the chamois, where they are
most plentiful.
Chamois driving differs little from
deer driving, except that the beaters
have often bad ground to cover. The
only skill consists in shooting straight
and picking out the bucks, which is
facilitated by the animals habit of fire.
quently stopping to look back.
In hunting the chamois the first thing
to do is to find high point of vantage
where the chamois are watched. When

some hours, and then is the hunters

which has to be conducted most warily
