Dr. George w. Brush was last evening at

would be furnished to the branches.

The truth was that Captain Parker was de-

facts.
1t is fair to say that II our information Is
correct as TO the quantity of ballast added by
him. the Rainbow's immersion was not only con-
excess of the 70-foot limit of our class as Well
However the amount of change made by add

came out Of the back room, and upon
recognizing his visitor cordially well

When he had selected coffin and
given directions as to how he wished it

a fellow psychist.
After seriously considering the mat
ter, Philemon had decided to visit this
man and explain the state of his feel
ings regarding the spiritual phenom-

occurrence in the doctors office that
morning. His friend listened attentive
ly until he had finished; then he
laughed.
''If you neither saw nor heard any
thing unusual yourself, my opinion is
that those ply sicians were playing a
joke on you,' was the unsatisfactory
reply. And the matter seemed to have
little less serious an aspect tc Phile-
mon, though he had gone too far, and
arranged his earthly affairs prepara-
tory to entering the next world with
too much genuine anxiety, to cast it
off at the frs1 laugh from his friend.

Philemon departed.
His words had not produced the ef-

though he still felt convinced Of the
genuineness of the warming; and with
the faithful Amzie walked homeward,
repeating a few comforting verses of
Scripture, believing it the proper thing

Philemon mumbled something, he
scarcely knew what, and the doctor
hurried on. But a load seemed to have
been suddenly lifted from him. He now
realized that he had eaten nothing since

THE CARE OF cows.

Mich cattle, receiving Indifferent
care, age great deal more rapidly than
others.
A bad case of garget should always
be looked upon with suspicion, espe-
cially after it has become chronic.
A defect or disease of the udder or
teats, as gargety condition, is, in my
experience, apt to grow worse with
age.
A naturally good COW, if she has had
rough usage, will be. played out in a
lacteal sense when she is eight or nine
years old.
If cow has had fair showing from
her owner in the pasture and stable, she
should remain a profitable miller for -
years, and sometimes longer.
Many of the so-called incurable cases
of garget and diseased udder are moth
ing less than tuberculosis, and when
tolerated are terrible menace to
consumers.
Some originally simple injury to the
udder, such as confusion or inflamma-
ton following retention of milk at
calving, may later form the indus for
specific infection.
Tuberculosis in the lungs of milch
cattle is bad enough, but in the gland
ular udder it is a hundred times more
dangerous to consumers of milk, but

BREAKING AND ENTERING.
The Painful Experience of Forret.
full Man Who Had Locked
Himself Out

This is the true story of a man
and his wife who went to a party,
and drove home at two o'clock in
the morning. The husband had, of
course. latch-key. and had told the
servants not to sit up. It was a
cold night, and when they reached
the house he said to his wife:
on sit in the carriage while ]
run up and open the door,"
He hurried up the steps and felt
for his key. 1t was gone, or rather,
as it proved afterward, he had never
taken it at all. So, after fruitless
searching, he began ringing the bell
He rang it for five minutes-for ten,

He sought the dark alley behind
his house. and, with Spartan disre.

high board fence and dropped into
his own yard. He smashed pane
of glass, lifted the window, and
crawled into the dark kitchen. Not
familiar with those lower regions, he
stumbled about, hitting the wall like
beetle on summer night; but
finally found the back stairs, and
mounted them to the hall above.
"Saved!" he muttered, for he had
reached the front hall and the front
door. He opened the door.

Mildew on the GoOseberry,

Potassium sulphide has been found
to be the best spray to use on the
gooseberry to prevent mildew. The
Geneva IN. W station has been at
work on this problem for some years
and has obtained the above result.
However. the use of this chemical does
rot entirely prevent the mildew, and
the percentage of fruit lost is still
large. The work along this line may
yet give us results that will make it
possible for us to successfully grow
the English gooseberry, which is the
kind that is most seriously affected by
mildew, but is the kind, also, that is
of most value to American growers

LOW-HEADED TREES.
Why They Are Preferred by Modcrn
Fruit Growers Who Are OPP
posed to Prunfnx

For several reasons low-headed
fruit trees are to be preferred. They
resist wind better. the fruit is more
easily gathered and the bark insect,
which lays it's eggs on tue bare trunk
to be Matched out by the warm sun
shine, is headed Off Then there is
less danger of sun scald, as the
branches spreading out, in a measure
at least, shade the trunk.
By cutting out the top during the
early stages of growth in a majority
OF cases low-spreading growth may
be readily secured.
Some of our best growers are now
advocating no pruning. There is no
question but that in many cases much
harm is done to good tree by over
pruning. and on this account is a
choice between no pruning and the
serious injury resulting from over
pruning. No pruning is rather the
better plan. One advantage claimed
for not pruning is that there will be
no water sprouts. While pruning to
some extent seems necessary in order
to get rid of crossing or a trailing
limb, yet care is necessary not to
prune too severely.
1t is of course best to remove all
dead or diseased wood whenever> no.
ticed, but with care taken to supply
conditions favorable to thrifty, Wig
orous growth this can be reduced to
minimum. Certain it is that no
limb or branch should be removed
without good reason. Better not
prune than to cut unnecessarily. One
grower claims that all that is neces-
sary when the desired height is Sc
cured is to pinch off the top bud of
the center stem of the tree and then
let further pruning alone.
The only possible objection to a
lowheaded tree is that after a good
growth has been secured it is difficult
to cultivate close up under the tree,
but generally after a tree has come
we'll into bearing the better plan is
to seed down to clover. and it is only
in exceptional cases that cultivati
will be necessarily. J. Shepherd, in
Farmers Voice.

Cows with POmpadour Tafls.

The cows tail doesn't bother GER
tain Holstein dairyman while milking
Stepping in his stables, I noticed that
just out of reach of my hat, about seven
feet from the floor, above the cows
hips, No. 9 wire, drawn tight, ran
the whole length of the stable. On
this, in the rear of each stall, was a
small ring or harness clasp, from
which hung stout cord attached at
its lower end to the cows tail at about
the point where the brush or long hair
begins. This cord was long enough to
allow the animal to switch with COM
