THE NATURE OF cows.
Act mt Times Very Much Like
Human beings.

"Cows have their likes and their dis
likes" said the milkmaid to the sum
mer boarder who was curious TO see
every part of the farm, according to
the New York Tribune.
"For instance, a COW admires a
horse, and will stand and watch one for
a long time. She is sort of timid about
him, but she admires him just the
same She has a contempt for a mule,
and seems TO be amused by his antics.
Hogs she tolerates, that's all. And
sheep, she hates. She will not eat
grass where sheep have been. She
hates dogs, too, but will tolerate the
shepherd dog, because she knows she
simply has to, and that the shepherd
dog will not bite her.
Cattle go wild at being let into
fresh pasture" added the milkmaid.
at seems to go to their heads. Each
is afraid that the other has got bet
ter feeding place than herself, and
tries TO drive her neighbor away"
Then there is good deal of human
nature in the COW, after all" unused
the summer boarder, who had studied
a year or two at a university, and was
given to philosophical reflections.
well, l should smile" answered the
milkmaid. "A single cow, with calf
will boss a whole herd of steers" and,
swinging her pail over her arm, she
went down TO the milking pens.

NEW ENGLAND DIALECT.
An Instance which illustrates the
Truth of stories of Horribly
Murdered English,

The professor Of Latin In a New
England school has. until within six
months, claimed that stories Of New
England dialect were absurdly exag-
gerated; but few months ago a liv-
ing refutation of his views arrived in
the person of a New Hampshire
maiden of stern aspect who had been
engaged for general Homework, says
Youths Companion.
The professors study is a good-sized
room, and as he is fond of plenty of
air. he finds Gree windows and a door
no more than sufficient TO provide
current. When the new handmaiden
had been in the family a week she
passed through the hall one cool morn
ing and stopped at the door Of the
study.
do you wish anything?" asked the
professor, reused by dry cough from
the doorway.
"Well. ] don't want TO be forthput-

maiden in a firm but pleasant tone,
"but II does seem as II YOU were set
ting in a complete draught. Don't YOU
want the door cluz or the windows

AN INGENIOUS ARTICLE
Clever Scheme of "A Bicycle Dealer for

An elderly bicycle rider went to the
establishment of a cycle dealer one
day and said to the proprietor: II

never found one that l could ride on
comfortably. If you can make one
that will fit me will give you S25
for it,"
Come again in about an hour" said
the dealer, after moments thought.
At the expiration Of that time the
customer came again. "Sit down"
said the dealer, pointing to a chair,
"and tell me what kind of saddle you
think you would like"
That's for you to devise" replied
the other. 81 have no suggestions to

A day or two passed. says Youths
Companion, and a new saddle was sent
TO his address. About a week later
he came again. Heres your $25," he
said. "The saddle fits me perfectly.

TAKING SPORT SERIOUSLY.
Recreations INDUCED In with Scien-
tIfc Interest Lose Much of

One Of the evils Of the day Is thor
oughness as applied to sports and
recreations. There is no game, how
ever difficult or however simple, but
it is hedged about by difficulties which
actually turn pleasure into pain.
Time was when a game at whist, for
example, was genuine diversion;
now IL has become so scientific that IL
is distinctly hard work TO play good
game. SO as TO bicycling. golf, ping
pong-everything, in a word. We have
got so into the habit of taking our
pleasures seriously that those pleas
ures are no longer recreations,
or at least not the recreations they
might be were perfection not so per-
sistently insisted upon, says a writer
in the Boston Transcript In these
days no sooner is a game invented or
imported from other lands than some
body has TO go at work to make its
playing a science, and TO this end

NO COFFEE HOUSES HERE.
Plan which Worked Readily I'm Eng
land Is Not Taken Up in the
United states.

The coffee house is a temperance
substitute for the inn in England, says
Gunton's Magazine. IL furnishes,
minus the intoxicating stimulants,
similar social features, but it is tackled
on to the same social habits that the
inn developed. In this country those
habits were not formed by the saloon
experience, and the attempt TO estab-
fish the coffee house as a substitute
for the saloon necessarily lacks that
social incentive which exists in Eng
land. The coffee house here takes on
the feature of the restaurant rather
than either the German beer garden
or the English inn. The Americans
have never harmed to go to these
places for TIER leisurely intercourse
and amusements and hence do not find
ii when coffee is substituted for beer.
They have gone to the theaters or
TO the clubs for this social outlet.
1t is, therefore, not surprising to the
careful student of European and
American traditions that the coffee
house plan does not work in this coun-
try, though it worked well in Eng
land. To be successful. social and eco
nomic as well as political institutions
must largely grow out of the habits,
customs and desires of the people.
They cannot to any considerable ex-
tent be transplanted from one country
to another.

The Cow For Tho FamilY.

The management of a single COW
differs from that given the herd on the
farm, as she usually comes under the
care of the whole family and possesses
a monopoly of attention and privileges
that cannot be afforded under the
wholesale system. She is the depend
ence of the poor farmer, and her place
cannot be filed by any other animal.
But it is quite business to so manage
the family cow that she may be of the
greatest service, and how to furnish
her with green food is commonly an
important question. Where pasture
can be had at small cost advantage
is usually taken of the opportunity,
but there are times and places in
which no such privilege occurs. If the
family possesses a small piece of
ground there can be grown large
variety of green feed. for early in the
season a crop of peas can be grown
for the family, the vines given to the
COW, and the whole taken off in time
for some other crop. Small places are
made rich in such instances when all
the manure is applied on them, and for
that reason the seeding down of one
crop before the first is removed is but
the practice of high system of farm.
ing to which the small farm and fam.
lily COW have contributed more than
anything else, for it has compelled the
adoption Of the best methods in order
to attain success. Green corn can be
cut several times, if only fodder is
wanted, and Hungarian grass will
spring up as fast as 1t is cut down. A
few cabbages put away in the fall

and large crop of carrots, turnips
and beets, enough for one cow, can be
grown on one-fourth of an acre, to say
nothing of crop of millet that may
be quickly grown and stored away late

should be willing 10 pay fair price fol-
good cow. The outlay, though large
at first, will bring in a quicker and
surer return than a small investment
in a scrub. AS the family cow re
ceives kindness as general thing from
all, the lesson to dairymen Il that by
carefully managing the herd and treat
ing each COW with the best care there
is no reason why the profit may not
be proportionately as great. The soil

1t will sometimes happen that the re.
turn in eggs from yard of poultry is
much less than it should be. and Won
'det is expressed that the hens don't lay
well. Then is the time to keep sharp
watch for the egg eating hen. One
hen will demoralize a whole flock. and
frequently the eggs will be eaten so
clean that 10 tcll-tale shell will be left
to show the cause of their disappear
ance. and it may be long time before
the owner discovers the true reason
for the small number of eggs. The
habit seems to he caused by improper
feeding or too close confinement Fowls
that have free range and get variety
Of food in consequence rarely eat their
own eggs. Let hen once begin to eat
eggs, however. and it is almost impos.
sible to cure her, and the very best
remedy is the axe before the rest of
the flock become contaminated. Care
should be taken to prevent conditions
giving rise to this habit. If the fowls
are closely confined they should be
given meat scraps, ground green bone,
etc, to make up for the loss of bugs
AID insects they would get in free
range, and their grain diet should also
be varied
II is well to be careful about leaving
any egg shells where the fowls can get
them. If any are fed they should be
chopped fine in the morning mash,
otherwise from this one cause the egg
eating habit may develop.
A close watch should also be kept for
a time on all new stock purchased, to
see that this habit or any disease is
not introduced into the flock.
Care and attention as regards poul-
try will be found to pay for the labor
expended many times over, for while n
flock left to themselves ON free range
seldom eat eggs, they will be found
to waste them through stealing their
nests, and having the eggs destroyed
by prowling vermin or bring off young
chicks so late in the season it is hard
for them to survive. The hens also de-
teriorate in plumage and become tough
and thin in body.
Fowls properly yarded, with plenty
of room and receiving the right care
and food. seldom develop disease of
any kind, and egg eating Is unknown
to them.-H. e. Haydock, in the New
York Tribune.

The Potato Discnse.

Potato disease, which is caused by 0
fungus, first attacks the tops of the
olants, and is conveyed to the tubcrs
by means of spores washed into the
soil by rain. To prevent the infection
1f the tubers grower recommends
"unning a plow between the rows so
as TO turn a furrow on the top of the
Hills, and then bending the plants over
the furrow. This causes the water
which washes the tops to run away
from the hills. The furrowing should
be done on the first appearance of the
disease. and as a further precaution
.he crop should not be dug for at least
two or three weeks after the tops are
entirely wilted. A trial of this method
has given very good results.
