Short and Useful Paragraphs.

Bran is q good thing for growing
pigs.
In gardening clean culture is the
chief essential to success.
It is the sheep that are kept on low,
wet pastures that have the foot-rot.
The moral is plain.
ssNo foot, no horse" so take look
at the feet of your animal often and
see if everything is 20. K"
Probably the most e1acting of all
pursuits is farming, as itrequires con-
slant and careful watchfulness.
Make it habit to wash the cows
udder before milking. Most habits
are bad, but this is one Of the good
ones.
Be sure your poultry get some ami
NAL food. The advice has been given
often, and those who have taken it are
the ones who are getting the eggs.
A flock of "scrub" sheep will bring
more profit in the hands of we'll.
bred sheperd than a.fock of well-bred
sheep in the hands of a "scrub"
sheperd.
The weeds will soon put in an ap-
pearance. Don't let them get the
best of you, for every weed that grows
is taking just 80 much moisture and
plant nutriment from your soil.

Ousstisa Of Kiaship.

General Hickenlooper and his family
make the evening dinner a source OF
mental as we'll as of physical nutrition
in which exercise the general has
usually the best Of it by presenting
puzzling and difficult problems. The
other evening the youngsters turned
the tables upon him by presenting the
following legal proposition:
A French beggar died and left one
child. q son, and q considerable estate.
The son, in order to inherit the estate,
was required to prove kinship to the
deceased. What kinship did he prove:
The general promptly replied the kim
ship of father and son.
The children said the answer was
wrong-the parent was woman. This
tickled the general, and he decided to
pass it along, so the next day, While
taking luncheon with friend, he pre-
pounded the following:
A French beggar woman died and
left q son and an estate and the son
in order to inherit the property, was re.
uuired to prove kinship to the de-
ceased. What was the kinship be-
tween them?
The friend promptly replied: Mother
and son."

Points on ButtermakinE.

In the first place good COWS are q
necessity. A scrub which gives in
different milk half the year is one of
the great leaks on manv farms. Next
COWS must be well-sheltered, well-fed
and kindly treated, this last being far
more essential than most people
think. Cows which are stabbed should
be we'll brushed and the udder wiped
with damp cloth to prevent the fine
dust of the barn falling into the pail.
This is one cause of bitter milk in
winter. A wire strainer with a fine
thin cloth over it keeps everything
else out of the milk. Tin pans are
easier kept sweet, lighter to handle
and think the cream rises better in
them than crooks.
The milk should not be covered un.
til the animal warmth is QUITO it. The
sooner it cools the more cream rises.
In summer the pans can be set in
cold water. and the water drawn off
when warm and renewed. A shallow
zinc box, like the top of sink, only
large enough to accommodate all the
milk of one milking, is handy. The
box should be as deep as the pans,
with spout to let the water off One
bucket of water would be sufficient to
cool the milk. The pans can be left
here until next milking or when cool
set fat on the cellar floor. A.frame

Ecceutric Colonel Eye.

Colonel Eye was famous character
in the early days. Although living IN
Doniphan County he was often In At
Gibson, followed by pack Of hounds.
He was a high toned Southern gentle
man with a kind heart, and one day
returning home from this city he. came
across a man whose wagon was stuck
in the mud in Independence Creek
bottom. Colonel Eye at once started in
to help the man pry out his wagon
with fence rails. While both were
working away, Ege became angry, and
yelled to the man: Lift, you son Of a
gun; you are not lifting pound" The
man picked up the endgate Of the wag-
DON, and split it over Eyes head, lay
ing him up for three weeks. Ege had
his hat off when struck, and was so
bald before coming to Kansas that he
was known as the Bald Eagle Of Mary
hand. Eye always carried pistol, ana
was always trying to shoot through
somebody's hat without hitting him.
One day, at the Independence Creek
ferry, he shot at a man, but aimed
a little low, and creased him. But Ege
was always a gentleman; he took the
man to his home, and tenderly cared
for him until he recovered.

ANNIE LAURIE.
Across the sea q fragment.

Across the sea fragment.
Blown with the spray and mist,
Shoreward from rosy distances,
Where shade and shine hold tryss,
An old song set in colorings
OF gold and amethyst.
A ship on the horizon
Where misty curtains cling,
Lightly to clearer levels
Her sails OF voilet swings: q
A schooner nearing the harbor,
Listen. The sailors sing:
"Maxwelton braes are bonnie
Where early fa's the dew,
Twas there sweet Annie Laurie
Gave me her promise true"
o. the rainbow lights Of boyhood
Kindle my skies anew.
sMaxwe,ton braes are bonnie"
How sweet that old refrain,
The promises Of morning
Break into bloom again.
And on the lowly roof hear
The music Of the rain.
"Maxwelton braes are bonnie,
There's mother at the door.
The cattle down the dusky lane
Are coming as Of yore,
And mounted On the pasture bars,
Iswing and sing once more.
"Maxwelton braes are bonnie,
O, bonnie maid Of mine,
Thro' all the mists OF distance
Again the dark eyes shine;
The world is full OF music,
And living seems divine!
Across the sea fragment,
Blown with the spray and mist,
Shoreward from rosy distances,
Where shade and shine hold tryst,
A vision and a memory,
In gold and amethyst.

Microbes of the Sea.

From the study of phosphorescent
microbes, which has greatly interested
students of sea phenomena, biologists
have now passed to the study OF sea
microbes in general, and are announc-
ing their results with much enthusi-
asrn.
The inference Is that aquatic life
produces more interesting variety of
microbe than do the circumstances
with which we are more familiar.
Some of the luminous or phosphor-
escent microbes, for instance can live
comfortably at temperature of zero,
centigrade. Others give out beautiful
colored liquids during their period of
development. Many of the ocean
microbes are also capable of sponta-
neous movement. AS to form they
are varied and have been found in
almost all shapes,
The greatest number of microbes
are to be found near the shore, the
number decreasing toward the sea-

SEA BIRDS A NECESSITY.
They Are an lncaIculabIe Sanitary Benefit
Along Oar Coast

lucy hiS 0u iusasSu'dUiS sauiAIy Oeue"
Along Oar Coast
This country is on the verge Of los.
ing forever one Of the main features
Of its seacoast charms-the sea-birds
themselves. In fact, the Terms, the
most exquisite Of the Gull family, and
which formerly thronged our whole
coast, have been so nearly wiped out
by agents Of the milliners that this
years onslaught, already fully organ
lied, will CLEAN almost the last pair
from the few small breeding colonies
which remain, wherever these are un-
protected. And the larger gulls, which
are not only very beautiful, but abso-
lutely essential as harbor scavengers,
are also being decimated for the same
purpose.
All these species, with their exquisite
beauty, their wild voices and their
most romantic lives, peopling a realm
which, without them, would be oppres-
sive in its dreary grandeur, will reach
their breeding places in few weeks,
and the Terms, especially, are liable
to be slaughtered the moment they
get there; therefore the promptest ac-
ton is necessary, If we are to save
even the few pairs Of the latter which
could re.stock our devastated coast
when the evil eye Of fashion shall have
turned to other victims.
Simple economic considerations
make it a matter of course that the
gulls must be saved. An immense
horde of them, which naturalists think
number anywhere from a hundred
thousand to a million, gorge twice q
day in New York Bay upon garbage.
As the hour of the dump approaches,
their multitudes fill the whole air to
an immense height, over an area OF
several miles, then gradually settle on
the sea in vast white sheets. The
whistle of the police boat, the signal
to dump" seems to watt them simua-
taneously into the air, to gather, like
dense snow clouds, over the floating
masses just emptied from the many
scows.
Imagine from what an amount OF
putrid matter these birds, as big as
hens, save the adjacent beaches, not
to speak Of their perpetual cleaning In
the actual harbors! And this is
specimen Of what occurs at every port.
If money enough can be raised, the
Committee of the American Ornithol-
ogists' Union viii guard every breed
ing place where there is law to back
them, as Mr.. Mackay and Mr.. Dutch
er have done at Vineyard Sound ISL
ands and Great Gull Island.

The Damage to Foliage.

During the droughts and hot days
of the past parcbing summer much
damage to foliage was caused upon
certain crops and trees, notably sugar
beets, cauliaowers, cherries and
naples. The leaves of the sugar
beets went down as though struck by
blight or similar disease, the young
caulif1ower plants lost many OF their
unfolding tender blades through
parching and death of their margins.
and cherries and naples in certain To-
calities stood denuded long before
time for foliage to fall. These injuries
occurred soon after days in late sum-
mer when the drought had been long
continued and when hot parching
winds made a sudden demand on the
on the plants for more moisture.
That the injury was due to this cause.
excessive Transportation, and not either
to lack of water due to drought, or to
disease, has been demonstrated by
the New York agricultural experiment
station.

Giving Medicine to Horse,.

To give the horse q drench or bolus
requires both skill and patience with
exceeding gentleness. All solid medi-
cines should be at first reduced to
powder and then rolled in some viscid
material to form paste in an oblong
cylinder mass about two and one-half
inches long. ''Place the right hand
fiat over the bones of the animals
nose, grasping each side, thus to
steady the head, while with the left
hand the operator seizes the tongue,
drawing it outward to the off side, the
fingers resting on the lower jaw for
support. This will secure the tongue
from being drawn out too far. The
bolus should be grasped between the
first. second and third finger tips of
the right hand and carried over the
tongue to the back of the mouth.
Withdraw the right hand quickly and
also release the tongue, instantly
closing the horses mouth and holding
his jaws together. In giving draught
or drench, which is the liquid form of
administering medicine, use horn,
or perfectly clean tin bottle. Stand
on the off side of the horse and Sin
sert the fingers of the left hand with
in the angle Of the mouth" drawing
away the animals cheek in order to
form a suitable pouch into which the
fluid is poured 'in small and success
sive doses as the creature permits it
to pass down the gullet. The neck of
the bottle, therefore, does not enter
the mouth and injuries from that
source are entirely avoided. The
tongue must be left quite free, as it is
q most effective agent in carrying
fluids onward to the gullet, and its
action greatly facilitates the operation
of drenching. "--Oul Animal Friends.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1900-05-10

Of lath large enough to cover all the
milk can be made with legs two or
three inches higher than the pans.
Over this stretch muslin and tack
tightly. 1t eau be set to one side or
raised up on end and down again, COW
ering OF uncoveriug all or as much
as you want at once. The mus
lin can be takeu off aud washed, and
it does away with so many lids to scour
and sun and the milk is better than
when shut up tight.
Tin buckets are the best for the
cream. In winter I hang my bucket
up near the ceiling and ripen my
cream as we'll MS in summer. In sum-
mer skim sweet and hang in the
we'll, so without ice can make good
butter the year round. Milk must be
regularly SKINNED and the cream reg
ularly churned winter and summer.
Thirty.six hours is long enough for
milk to set, and 24 is too long if the
milk clabbers. Cream should be
churned at least every other day in
summer and twice week in winter.
Sixty degrees in summer and IS to 70
in winter is about the proper tempera-
lures to begin churning, for the warm
air will raise it little in summer and
cool it in winter.
Stop churning when the butter
comes and draw off the milk. I like
to wash the butter thoroughly by
whirliug the churn, changing water
until it runs clear. Work just enough
to mix the salt. The grain then re-
mains and the butter is rich, sweet
and toothsome. Too much working
makes it solid and tallowy and de-
stroys the sweet buttery taste. 1
never work over butter that comes
solid in granules. I find customers
prefer it this way and every bit of
milk aud water can be got out if
churned at the right temperature.
There are people in every town who
are willing to pay good price for
gilt-edge butter, and cows can be
made to be source of revenue, not
to be despised by the farmers family,
even when only few are kept.-S. n.

careful search to find out The result
is interesting, even from sordid COM

may have had its origin there, though

ought to 80 to Paris. 1t is any kind OF

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

A mine is a good deal like womar's
love; nobody can tell what it is worth.
We are not sent into the world to
do anything into which We cannot put
our hearts.
We have more power than will; and
it is often by way of excuse to our
selves that We fancy things are impos-
sib,e.
A good disposition is more valuable
than gold; for the latter is the gift of
fortune, but the former is the dover
of Nature.
Whatever happens We are not to
forget that peace at home and abroad
is the ideal for all who love their coun-
try and their feliow-men.
The trouble is that girl thinks her
labor is over when she has won q
mans love, and doesn't appreciate the
struggle that is coming to keep it
Do not talk but of what you know,
do not think but of what you have
materials to think justly upon, and do
not look for things only that you like
when there are others to be seen.
Twenty people can gain money for
one who can use it, and the vital ques-
ton for individual and for nation is
never, "How much do they make?"
but, 80 whatpurpose do they spend?"
The development of great wealth in
this country is matter of not more
than 25 years, and it is scarce won
der that it has not been fully assimi-
lated to our social and economic and
moral systems.
1t is the things which make up the
character, the habits, the customs,
the tastes and beliefs of the great
majority of the people that control the
vastest interests of civilization and
human happiness.
Whenever money is the principal
object of life with either man or nation
it is both got i'll and spent i'll, and
does harm both in the getting and
spending, but when it is not the prin-
cipal object it and all other things
will be we'll got and well spent,

4 Boys Revenge.

The present German Emperor, then
a small boy, attended the wedding OF
the Prince and Princess of Wales. he
was under the charge Of his two uncles,
the Duke Of Edinburgh and the Duke
of Connaught. AS may be expected,
young William fdgeted sadly, and COD
seouently received an occasional warn
ing tap on the shoulder. But how he
did revenge himself! His uncles were
in Highland dress, and the future en-
peror slyly knelt down and bit into
their bare legs with great earnestness.
