MANAGING MILK cows.
1t Requires the Constant Exercise Of
Patience and Quite an Amount
of Judgment.

I wish to give you few hints on
milking cows. The farm hand who
knows how to milk properly is moie
valuable to the careful dairyman than
any other help. To milk a cow requires
time and patience. The milk should be
drawn slowly and steadily. Some cows
have very tender teats, and if you want
a good disposed COW, be gentle in your
treatment toward her, as she is natural
" impatient and does not like rough
handling. With constant irritation she
will fail in quantity of milk. AS the I'D
der becomes filled with milk she is
anxious to be relieved OF it's contents
and will seldom offer resistance with
out a cause. When patient COW be-
comes fractions we can always trace it
to the mixer. Note this: We should
not allow them to stand long time
waiting to be MIXED. When cows give
a large quantity of milk it is very pain
full when the udder has filled to the ut
most, therefore causing them to be-
come very nervous and restless. To de-
lay milking at the proper time will do
more to cause cow to 60 dry before her
period than anything else. She should
also be MIXED to the last drop, if posi-
BILE, for the last portion of milk is said to
be the richest. Still another point:
There are many ways Of conducting
dairy. Among them are: Wholesome
food, such as wheat bran, cotton seed
meal. Always be careful to keep the
cows we'll sailed, protected from bad
weather, giving kind handling, careful
milking, regular feeding, clean stabling,
good ventilation and plenty of pure wa
ter. In some sections we have what is
called bitter weed, which COWS are fond
of, causing the milk to become so much
affected that it is hardly fit for use. I
find that by giving the cow about two
tablespoonful of sugar at each meal
for two or three days the milk is entire
ly relieved of the bitter taste.-G. B.
Dillon, in Journal of Agriculture.

THE JEWISH NOSE.
It II Not Alone to the Semitic Race
That Large Noses Are
Confined.

Secondly, as to the nose. Popularity
The bumped or hook nose constitutes
the most distinctive feature of the Jew
ish face. Observations among the
Jews, in their most populous centers,
do not, however, bear out the theory.
Thus Majer and Kopernicki (1ss5), in.
their extended series, found only nine
per cent. of the hooked type-no great
er frequency than among the Poles; a
fact which Weissenberg confirms as to
the relative scarcity of the convex nose
in profile among his South Russian
Jews. He agrees, however, that the
nose is often large, thick and promi-
1nent. Weisbach Qs77) measured the
facial features of 10 Jews, and found
the largest noses in long series of peo-
pie from all over the earth; exceeded in
length, in fact, by the Patagonians
alone. The hooked nose is, indeed,
sometimes frequent outside the jew
ish people. Olechnowics found, for ex-
ample, over third of the noses of the
gentry in southeast Poland to be of
this hooked variety. Running the eye
over our carefully chosen series of por-
traits, selected for us as typical from
four quarters of Europe Rus
STA, Bosnia, and the confines of Asia
representing the African, Balkan
Spagnuoli and Russian Ashkenazim va
rieties, visual impression will also con-
firm our deduction. The Jewish nose
is not so often truly convex in profile
Nevertheless, it must be confessed that
it gives a hooked impression. This
seems to be due to peculiar "tucking
up of the WINGS" as DR.. Beddoe ex-
presses it.-Prof. William 2. Ripley, in
Appletons' Popular Science Monthly.

MYSTERIOUS LIGHT AT SEA.
Three Steamers Didn't Understand
1t, But the Prince of Nom
AGO Knew.

The prince of Monaco has been
known since 1885 as an enthusiastic
student of the sea and its various forms
of life. He usually spends his summers
in the study of oceanographic prob
lens, and his cruises have on some &C.
casions been extended almost to the
coasts of America. A short time ago
he delivered lecture before the Royal
Geographical society in London, in
which he told this incident: qa
One afternoon, while in the Bay of
Biscay, he sank the trap in which he
collected specimens of sea life. 1t went
to the bottom in over $4,000 feet Of
water, and as night approached he fas-
tened to the wire attached to it an cleo
trio buoy and then stood off a mile or
so. 1t did not happen to occur to him
that he was right in the track of steam
ers plying between northern Europe
and the Mediterranean, but he was re-
minded of the fact later.
AS he and his IA sailors were watch
ing with good deal of satisfaction the
swaying buoy with it's brilliant illumi
nation asteamer's lightscame into view.
It was soon evidenced that the steamer
was curious to know the meaning of
the illumination, for she altered her
course and made for the light. She
knew that no fishing boats came out so
far from land and so determined to
solve the mystery. Up she came to.
within quarter of mile of the buoy,
slowed up for minute, and then start
ed ahead, perhaps little Disguised at
the incident that had lured her several
miles out of her course.
She had hardly got away when
second steamer came into view, and
she, too, bore down upon the lighted
buoy. The marines on the princes
vessel understood by this time that the
illumination was probably believed to
be evidence of a disaster. Just as the
princes steamer was moving up to ex-
plain matters she was nearly run down
by one of the large liners in the orien
tai trade, which had also left her course
to render what assistance she could.
The swell was very heavy, and the
prince feared collisions as the three
vessels approached the light like moths
around candle. He therefore veered
off and the other vessel, after stand
ing by for few minutes, went on their
way and probably never learned the
cause of that nights illumination at
sea.
But the incident gave the prince a
pointer. He carefully refrained there
after from exhibiting his electric buoy
on any of the much travelled ocean
routes.-N. Y. Sun.

This usually had the desired effect,

This would encourage me to proceed,

Of my thrilling narrative had fallen on

had better begin at the next night.
He, my brother, was my senior by
some years, and exercised dominant
influence over the pastimes of my early
days, and it was somewhat discourag-

into the house to read; for he had no
intention, while Bigfoot Wallace occu-
pied the boards, of allowing my desire
| for frivolous amusement to interfere
with the qualification of his love for
Observation-Disclosures narratives.
Ishall never forget one evening when
we had company at home, I had been al
lowed to sit up later than was usually
the case, and had imbibed somewhat
more of my favorite literature than was
my wont, but had at last fallen asleep
en- the lounge; hideously painted saw
ages, forlorn maidens and truculent
border heroes ran riot through my
dreams, until I startled the assembled
guests by springing into the middle of
the room and shrieking at the top Of
my voice: Bring on yer Indians!"
The funny man, who is present at all
gatherings, was in splendid form that
night, and he Immediately dubbed me
"Three-fngered Dick, the Tar-heeled
Terror of the Palms." and though that
title stuck to me for years, my per-
formance that evening led father to put
stop to my novel reading, and then

HORTICULTURAL HINTS.

Clover is the manure of all manures
for the potato crop.
Does spraying pay? Certainly; the
same as tillage and pruning do.
Many plant stored in the cellar is
killed by drought. But from this re-
mark do not go to the other extreme
and keep plants too damp.
Mr.. j. S. Woodward tells that he
stored apples in the year of the great
apple crop (1s96) in his cellar up to
eight feet in depth, and that they kept
the best where the layer was thickest.
Plastering laths woven into three
strands of wire make good tree pro-
lection against mice and rabbits when
secured around trees liable to be
barked. Wire netting answers the
same purpose.
It is well to remember that it is not
the freezing, but the thawing in the
light that Injuries plants the most.
Should even tender plants be frozen
and thawed out in low temperature,
ard in the dark, many of them would
survive.-Western Plowman.
