MILK from Earrow Cows.

The milk of cows that have long

after dropping their calves. If they
had not been bred the milk also usual

Locust Trees.

Those who have not grown the To-
Gust tree may not realize that this
tree has the power of enriching the
ground on which it stands. We
learned this many years ago, and
thought then that it was from the
blossom which fell from it. but since
we have grown older and read more,
we have wondered if it might be
classed among the leguminous plants,
like the bean and pea, which by no.
iluels on the root can attract nitrogen
from the atmosphere and store it up
in the soil Certainly the pod of the
locust is not unlike the pod of the
bean. and While one is Il woody pant
or tree, and the other only an annual.
they may have the same affinity for
atmospheric nitrogen. The trees
should be desirable to set in pastures
or around the edges of them because
Of this reason. and they are also most
excellent trees for fencing purposes.
A locust post large enough to saw in
two is nearly all heart wood. and
while we will not go SO far as to say,
as did one old man we heard of, that
"a locust post would last through
three eternites," we will assert that
such a post as we have described
above will last longer than one man
is likely to live. And we can prove it
by showing good posts set before we
were born, and sound now.-Boston

And All Were Happy.

Appeal to a woman's vanity and her
temper will be improved. The Willow
Grove car was uncomfortably crowded
and a large portion of the passengers
We're women, decked out in holiday at
tire. They were squeezed together
tightly, and some were obliged to
stand, which did not tend to make
them happy as they gaed ruefully at
their ruf1ied clothes. On the rear seat
was little girl with shrill, penetrat-
ing voice. "Oh, mamma"' she eX-
claimed, "hasn't that lady got be-
youthful hat on?" Every woman and
girl in the car smiled. They all had
their backs turned to the child, and of
course could not tell just which had
been designated. But, judging from
their faces, each one must have thought
her hat the one that had aroused the
little girls admiration. 1t was little
thing in itself, but every woman in the
car seemed happier after that.-Phila-

Horsernastership.

The secret Of the staying power of
the mounted Boer lies, apparently. in
the fact that he Is not better horse
man. but better horsemaster, than
the British troopefNbr artillery driver.
He knows TO an ounce how much he
can safely take out of his mount, and
never calls ON the beast beyond that
point. He nurses him always. tends
him carefully at every opportunity,
and knows how to doctor him the mo-
ment he Is knocked up. Among our

irregulars-stolidi indifference or ignor-
majority Of the mounted infantry have
probably never had any instruction
whatever in the management of horses
outside stables. Nor is the prevailing
ignorance confined to the rank and file.
If only officers understood all the nice
ties of nursing horses under heavy
and prolonged strain, they would see
that the right thing was done, but COM
petent witnesses affirm that, though
there are conspicuous exceptions here
and there, the average cavalry or artil-
lery officer never gives his attention to
such matters, apparently regarding
the management of the horses in his
command as menial matter, to be left
to the rank and file. have even heard
it said that the smartest and most sue
cessful of our cavalry Generals would
have done much better if he had given
