John Bright and the Little Cur Dog.
Bright was very happy once in describ-
ing certain small party of Liberal rene
gades who deserted Gladstone because Of
his great effort TO enfranchise the work
ing classes. The party was very small,
but exceedingly mischievous, for it in
cluded two or three men of great talent
and great bitterness. Bright in his speech
made alluson to this little group of apos-
tates and to the fact that nobody seemed
20 be quite clear as to who was its ac-
tual leader, and he sent the house into
shouts of laughter by likening the party
to a Scotch terrier he once had, which
was so small and so shaggy that it was
almost impossible TO tell which was its
head and which was its tail.

Oak shutters In Riot Times.

"I reckon there are enough policemen
in New York to squelch any riot that you
might have" said a western man who
had been studying Broadway, for !
don't see any old time shutters on the
windows of the stores. In my town, as
well as many others in the west, during
the civil war, where we had no police,
the old fashioned shutters were all the
protection the business men had against
jayhawkers and bushwhackers. The shut
ters were made of oak and were screwed
in front of the windows at night and TAX
en- down in the morning. When the jay
hawkers and bushwhackers came yelling
down the street, our merchants rushed
out and put up the shutters, if they had
time.
"The enemy knew better than to try to
batter the shutters or shoot through
them. for they couldn't do it. When the
merchants put up the shutters in such an
attack, they locked the door and fed to
the cellars and staid there until the dis
turbance was over. Cellars were as safe
from jayhawkers and bushwhackers as
they are from cyclones. Cellars and oak
shutters are great protection. But l
haven't seen an oak shutter in New
York. New York Sun.

IN AN APRICOT ORCHARD.
How the Fruit II Gathered, Dried and
Prepared for Market I'm SOUTH
ern California.

AS soon as an orchard of apricots
comes into bearing, advertisements are
inserted in the newspapers of adjoining
towns for women and girls. Thou.
sands of women leave their domestic
duties, taking with them their fam
lilies to engage actively in the sheds OF
the ranchers, cutting the fruit for dry
ing, after the men have collected IL
from the trees.
Sometimes 500 people will be engaged
upon large orchard. Rules and regu-
lations are laid down for their conduct;
the women and girls sleep in the tents
provided at low rental by the man
agement, and either cook for them
selves, or board with what would be
termed in railroad circles a boarding
boss" the men, not so many, occupy
tents in some other and distant part
of the orchard. The sole requisite be-
ing the ability to pick and cut fruit,
an aggregation of humanity represent
ing all classes of society, from the inn
pecunious English family with culx-
waited manners and aristocratic connec-
ton to the nondescript, who travels
from town to town in search of employ
ment, is collected together in industri-
Gus activity for the revenue to be de-
rived.
Each woman has a small tray in front
of her, and, after cutting the fruit with
a knife, she lays it open on the tray.
Each tray is furnished with a raised
end. When five are filled they are piled
up, and the operator shouts: "Tray!"
whereupon an attendant approaches,
punches n ticket with which she has
been previously furnished, and takes
the five trays to the sulphur house.
The women are paid ten cents box,
each box containing 60 pounds of fruit.
All fruit has to be placed in the sulphur
house for several hours for the purpose
of bleaching ii or causing it to retain
its natural color as well as to destroy
all insect life that may remain, other
wise the sun would cause it to turn
black. The trays are then carried out
and placed upon the ground under the
steady rays of the glorious California
sun. Should clouds be hanging over
the trays are placed one above the 9TH
er until that great purifier and drier of
the universe, old Sol, makes his appear
ance.
The fruit requires from three to
seven days to dry. At the end of this
time men go out into the orchard with
what are called 'sweat boxes" and
scrape from the trays all the fruit
into these boxes, in which it is left un-
til fully dried. Finally it is hauled to
the storehouses and piled up in heaps,
perhaps ten feet high, awaiting the eye
of the critical buyer.-Pearson's Maya
zine.

PERFECT COW STALL.

ture of dairy work many years of study
and practical demonstration in our
own barn. After using many devices
and reconstructing them to do away
with imperfections, our plan for "the
perfect COW stall' resolved itself into
the plan illustrated have seen large
number of stalls, but none that has SO
many good points as this one. Thou
sands of them are in use all over the
country, and wherever put in after the
plan herein described, have proven to
be more than satisfactory. The floor
may be made of wood or cement. Mine
is laid with oak with joints broken as
laid, allowing drop of two inches in
the 6h feet. On the platform two
three by three scantling are laid run
ming the full length of the stable. Upon
this board or floor IS inches wide Is
put down with fange board facing COW
seven inches wide. A two by four post
five feet high is toe-nailed in one corner
of the manger, to which both partition
boards and the fence in front of the
COW are nailed. The partition is four
feet high and 3h wide from outer edge
of the two posts, but it is only one foot
high in the managers past the five feet
post, so that any large roughage can
be distributed. The opening for both
feed and roughage is IS inches. The
grain, ensilage or any cut feed escapes
readily into the 1s-inch manger, but
hay cannot, but rests against the fence
and is eaten through it.
Many find the annex Of feed bin in
front an easy means of distributing
feed to COWS. The ditch is made wa
terproof and 16 inches wide, nine inches
deep next to platform and seven inches
by walk. The latter may be made any
width or depth to suit the builder. The
distance from the ditch to the fence
facing COW depends upon the size of the
COW to occupy. The 6A feet is the right
length for 1,000-pound cow, with less
or more accordingly. The fencing can
be placed as far toward the COW as her
size demands, so that she may be fenced
back to her ditch, insuring perfect
cleanliness and at the same time have
perfect and absolute freedom with her
head, not having to move backward
or forward to lie down or rise. Ar
rangements for watering with pans
bolted on sides of partitions can be
readily attached.-G. f. Scott to Ohio

shade for sbe Dairy Cows

At convention of dairymen some
years ago a dairyman said that it was
his practice not to have any shade in
his pasture, as he did not want his
cows to lose time in feed gathering.
He claimed that on hot days COW
would go hungry in the shade rather
than go out into the hot sun and feed.
He was fiercely opposed by many 9TH
err danrymen, but there were some that
sided with him. 1t was rather sur
prise that any should take position
of that kind. 1t seems hardly short of
barbarous to place cows in a pasture
where there is no escape from the fierce
heat of midsummer sun.

HINTS FOR SUMMER.
Through the Hot Season In
Good Condition.

Shade is almost as important in
summer as shelter from cold in win
ter. See that the COW has plenty of
feed and clean water while in pas
ture, so that she can fill her stomach
in short time and then lie down
in the shade, chew her cud, enjoy her.
self, and make milk.
The COW must not have to travel a
long distance for water. If she does,
she will go without it until she gets
very thirsty and feverish, and then
drink until she is painfully uncom-
Portable. Both conditions are unfa-
vorable for milk secretion.
II COW has to travel over large
surface and take a good deal of time
to fill her stomach, the extra time and
energy expended will cause corre-
spending reduction in the flow of
milk.
Milking should always be done in a
clean. airy place, free from all bad
odors. If in stable, il should be
scrupulously clean, and have some de-
odorizer, such as dry earth, dry muck,
land plaster, sawdust, etc, scattered
over the floor. The best of all is the
land plaster, which goes into the ma
nure, and is applied to the soil in
about as good way as possible.
1t is better to have cows confined in
stanchions, or otherwise, for milking,
TO avoid their moving about. and to
prevent accidents. 1t is also better to
have some kind of shelter, especially
when IL rains.-Farm and Home.

Less watering should be done from

tank. 1t is true that the COW, of all
farm animals, prefers TO take her wa

the sun for day. All troughs and
