A Cat That Cried.

do animals ever shed tears?' is a
question frequently asked, but never
satisfactorily answered. Some one
tells us of cow that wept freely when
separated from her calf. In one of the
large buildings of the city the other
day many people were witnesses of a
weeping kitten. The wee mite had
strayed into the building, and there
had encountered fierce, barking dog
of the fox terrier variety.
She had run to escape him into
room in which was the roar Of much
machinery, had been shouted at, had
had piece Of coal thrown at her, had
been caught by the nape of the neck
and flung by giant, had been taken
up in lift, and had had the tip of her
tail pinched by some laughing men.
When she finally reached her desti-
nation, quiet spot at the top of the
tall building, she was a palpitating
mass of fur more dead than alive, with
no fight left in her and with tears
streaming from her eyes. Indeed,
more lachrymose sight was never seen.
1t took a good fifteen minutes of pet
ting and cajolery to induce her to stop
crying, too, and to lift her head, But
finally, like the cow in the story, she
became consoled.-New York News.

If YOU look at candle namc through
a piece of very fine silk gauze stretched
over a frame of cardboard The flame
will appear drawn out in four drcc-
tions, at right angles to each other,
forming luminous cross, the arms of
which are fringcd with rainbow coiOrs.
This is an example Cf what physicians
call attractions, and is of the same
nature as the colored halo5 seen
around lights in fog.
Now, this little experiment may be
made very amusing by constructing of
stout paper a windmill, or the facade
of one, with a small hole where the
arms should cross, and placing within
or behind it lighted candle, with the

Farm Notes.

The stables should give shelter
warmth and ventilation.
Do not feed lambs on rape alone, but
accustom them to it gradually when
fed with other fodder.
The barn and all the outbuildlngs
should be reached with dry feet even
in bad weather Good paths are
needed.
1t takes horse over an hour to mas
ticate four pounds of hay, half an hour
for whole oats, and only Is minutes 10
masticate ground feed.
Some COWS give more milk and milk
that is richer if they are fed little
while milking. 1t will pay to humor
the whims of such COWS.
Never give sour milk to the brood
sow with a young litter of pigs. To
do so is to invite securing and ruin
the prospects of the litter.
The state veterinarian of Nebraska
says it Is unwise to ring the noses ct
hogs. If they have plenty OF salt and
ashes they will root very little.
An excess of corn in the diet OF the
SOW and also of the young pigs is apt
TO produce scours. The pigs should
have no corn until six weeks old.
Frequent change of pasture is OF
great benefit to sheep, and is to be
recommended even though they have
to be removed from field where the
grass is good into one where it is poor.

Green Corn for Table Use

Near some of the summer hotels
there are farmers who grow sweet
corn for them and they plant corn
almost every wee kfrcm May l to Au-
gust !, that they may sell 1t every
week While the guests are there. But
many farmers and gardeners not hav-
ing this special trade. to cater for,
make but one or two plants, and
though it may be favorite food with
the family, there is but short season
that it is available. We can see why
the market gardener may desire to
have his corn crop harvested and out
of the way that he may grow another
crop upon the same land, but where
land is so abundant that one does not
want to produce double crops on 1t,
we see no reason why this succession
of crops should not be kept up. We
have had it on our table nearly every
day from July until November, and
liked it as well at the last picking as
at the first, and we know it to be
wholesome and nutritious, and know
that its use reduced both meat and bread
bills. The late paintings might have
to be picked before the first severe
frost and kept in a cool place until
we we're ready to use the corn, but
even then they should De as fresh as
much that is sold in our markets.

FASHION NOTES.

The black and white craze Is still
on.
Continental is the name given one
Of the most popular hat shapes OF the
season.
The new Puritan stock collar, with
stole ends is great favorite.
Magpie combinations in very deli
cate effects prevail in veilings.
Etamine and tnercerized effects,
closely resembling silk, are noticeable
among the new shirt-waist stuffs.
Tan and sage green are to be the
only permissible colors for tiib gowns;
with white, OF course, favored before
these.
Stiff collars are quite passe for
separate waists. Soft effects are far
and away in the lead.
Walrus and lizard, are the fad Of
the year for belts, wrist bags, pocket
books, etc.
Irish crocket and tating hold full
sway in the lace world.
Grapes and cherries are among the
smartest hat trimmings Of the hour.
Decidedly the elbow sleeve is the
predominating one for summer, both
for high and open-neck gowns.
Row after row Of machine stitch
ing is omitted from the silk bands
used for trimming this spring; just
one row top and bottom is preferred.
Flowers made from ribbon are
novelties Of the millinery work that
are unique and quite attractive.
Summer gowns of wash blonde are
among the very newest and most
swagger kinds exhibited for exclusive
women. These are exceedingly at
tractive besides being very novel.
They are in artistic colored printed
designs of delicate bouquets after the
Pompadour fashion.

MAILING Gruela for InYalidA.

Preparing food for an invalid or for
q convalescent is thankless task at
best. There is nothing very inspiring
to the cook in gruels and teas of the
various sorts, but since there will al
ways be a somewhat steady demand
for these uninteresting foods, it Is
we'll to know how they should be
cooked and why one way is better
than another Gruels which are mix
lures of grain or -four and water or
water and milk need more careful at
tention than do many French dishes.
To be easy of digestion, gruels must
be thoroughly cooked, and therefore
the milk, when it is ADDED at all,
should be added only when the grain
has been we'll cooked in water first.
If the water has evaporated in cook
ing, the original quantity must be re-
stored before putting in the milk and
the milk be hot boiling and loses much
of it's agreeable taste. Another point
about gruels is that they should be
drunk slowly. The action of the sa-
liva upon the starch is considerable,
and therefore the more slowly the
Cruel is taken the more easily will 1t
digest.
The skill in cruel making comes In
when one knows how to vary the
flavor so as to render the food appe-
tizing. Sweet Cruel is far from pleas
ant, yet it is we'll often to add very
little sugar. Cinnamon, grated lemon
peel, vanilla, nutmeg and almond are
favorings that may be used at dis
cretion. Flour cruel is one in which
any of these f1avorings is used, al
though when it is intended for fever
ish patienl a little lemon juice is rec
commended. TO make it with CHINA
mon, for instance, mix one tablespoon
full of -four, one teaspoonsful OF sugar
and one saltspoonful of salt together
and moisten with two tablespoonful OF
cold water, working to smooth paste.
Now add one cupful Of boiling water
and a bit of stick cinnamon. Boil
gently for 20 minutes, taking especial
care that it does not burn. Now add
one cupful of hot milk and let the
mixture just reach the boiling point.
This IS to be served very hot and
should be strained to insure perfect
freedom from lumpiness.

LeaDer Pork in Demand.

Real bacon has been so little grown
in this country that the public are
only now getting familiar with it.
Until recently it was not far different
with our mutton, but in that line of
meat production the change has been
marked during recent years.
The trend of change in the public
taste with other classes of meat is al
together in the direction of leaner
meat. Because of this change. the
large, heavyweight steer OF eighteen
hundred pounds has been set away
back in the markets of today. The
handy weight early maturing steer of
1900 to 1900 pounds has taken his
place, and old fat wethers weighing
12O to 1S0 pounds alive are now be-
ing superseded by the lamb under 12
months and weighing from 70 to 100
pounds. 1t would seem incredible to
the writer that public taste should
change so much in the direction of
leaner beef and leaner mutton, and
that there should not follow CORE
spending change in the same, in the
line of leaner pork-that is to say, in
the line of pork that is more of the
bacon type.
A certain Iowa packer Of pork pur-
chased last autumn at least three car
loads of large improved Yorkshire
swine. These were taken down into
Central Iowa-that is to say, into the
very heart of the corn belt. They
were not taken there for purposes of
slaughter, but for breeding uses. The
males were chiefly intended for being
crossed upon the types Of sows al
ready in that country. The purchaser
told the writer that his object was to
induce the farmer from whom his sup
plies were obtained to grow swine that
were more of the bacon type. He
wished such animals, he said, because,
all in all, they suited his trade better
than the other types of swine, such as
he had been purchasing
When the average farmer Of today
kills swine for Ills own use, which type
of animal does he prefer? Does he
not pass by the large, heavily laden
hog and choose such as are lighter and
not so highly finished? If the taste of
the farmer himself is veering in the
direction of meat more nearly resem-
bling the bacon types. why should
not the taste of the customer for
whom he grows it veer in the same
, direction n?-Professor Thomas Shaw,
In Twentieth Century Farmer.

Dipping Sheep at <hearing Time.

One gallon of dip costing $3.50 Will
make 100 gallons of dip when properly
diluted for dipping The best time for
dipping is at shearing time just after
the wool has been removed. The ticks
usually leave the old sheep, going to
the lambs, before or at the time Of
shearing, SO it becomes necessary to
dip the entire flock in order to get
rid of them.
Where one man has sufficient
number of sheep, he should own a
dipping tank, but where several
neighbors own sheep, one tank may
serve the neighborhoOd. The most
successful hog men arc dipping their
hogs nowadays. so the tank may serve
q double purpose. Galvanized iiJn
tanks made especially for this work
are so cheap and durable that any
other sort of tank is expensive. There
are several sheep dips in the market
which can be bought. They come in
a concentrated form and should be
used according to .hc manufacturer
directions. Avoid dips w.lich contain
lime and sulphur, as they arc injurious
to the wool.
A convenient method Of dipping is to
have the tank set at the end of BAR
row lane or shute, leading out from
the sheep pen or barn. The lane may
Dc temporary where hurdles are avail
able. The TANK for convenience
should be sunk foot or more IN the
ground After the sheep have been
sheared, they Qambs includcd) are
driven through the lane, which should
be narrow enough to cause the sheep
to go single file, to the tank. AS they
arc forced into the tank, man, or
two if available, catches the sheep to
see that it becomes thoroughly soaked.
forces the head under for a sec
ond and then assists it in getting out
of the tank. The sheep should re-
main in the dip long enough to thor
oughly saturate the wool to the skin.
If low-wheeled wagon with bed and
sideboar Is on is at hand, it is q good
plan to back it up to the tank, allow
ing the sheep to come out of the tank
into the wagon, where they should
remain until the wagon is full. Ihls
keeps them from shaking the dip off
for a little time, and is also about the
height of the top of the tank, making
a good platform upon which to land.
Where sheep are regularly and thor
oughly dipped once year there is
usually no need of second dipping;
but in case ticks are found on them
they should be dipped again in the fall
just before cool weather. Dipping is
not only a remedy for ticks and lice,
but is practiced as cure and preven-
tive of scab.-J. H. Skinner, in Orange
Judd Farmer.

Soil Feeding.

The soil is like bank deposit. One
can check out until the deposit is eX-
hausted, thereafter checks are not
honored. He who would always be in
a position to draw on the bank must
continue making deposits. 1t is said
that many Pennsylvania farmers have
quite ruined their land by the use of
lime. Lime is merely solvent, quick
ly making the plant food in the soil
available Of course, if no attention
was paid to raising clover, and no in
crease made in the stock fed, and the
freed plant food thus returned in the
shape of manure, the Improvement OF
the soil must have gone on at rapid
rate. But where the soil was fed, lime
was a great and permanent advantage.
1t will often be good policy to feed
with a view to making larger quanti-
ties of stable manure. If the gain in
flesh of the stock fed just equals IN
market value the cost Of the feed
stuffs consumed, then the manure pro-
duced is acquired at the cost of the
labor Involved in caring for the stock.
It is often possible to feed on this
basis, and in most cases the fertilizing
matter will be better and cheaper than
if bought in the form of commercial
fertilizers.
Some times the cost of feeds used
may even exceed the market value of
the increase in weight and value of
the animal fed, and still be profitable
from our point of view. A feeder Of
steers recently reported a gain in
weight of so pounds per month for two
months on ration of hay, silage,
seven pounds corn meal, two pounds
oil meal and three pounds bran, the
animals being kept in box stalls and
never exposed. Now in this case, at
present prices of feed, there may have
been no margin of profit or very
small one Yet where the entire ma
nure was saved have no doubt that
the feeder was we'll reimbursed. For
fully so percent of the fertilizing mat
ter in the feed was lett on the place.
When stock is fed for manure in win
ter plenty of absorbent bedding being
supplied and clover or stock peas
grown the manufacture of soil food
is carried on the entire year, and the
results will soon appear in abundant
harvests. Feed the soil, and the spii
will more than feed you.-Cincinnatus
in the EpitomiSt.

hired men, the man caught and gave
to Archie for a pet a young crow. A
crow, even in the widest state, is q
sort of half-domesticated animal. 1t
is no trouble at all to tame them, and,
aside from their Unsuitable desire to
get into all sorts of mischief, they make
nice pets. Archie and his crow were
pretty good friends by the time they
got to the house, and this wag of the
feathered tribe opened up a rich run
young master during all that summers
vacation. The bird never lost an op-
portunity to play practical Joke on
anybody ald everybody; but he seemed
especially delighted when his victim
was the old man. Archie's grandfather,
all of which was arcepted in good part
by the old gentleman, until one day
the crow carried his jokes little too
far, and came perilously near being
a dead crow afterward.
Although the old man was rich be-
yond the necessity of labor, he believed
in plenty of outdoor exercise, and was
especially fond of working in his own
garden and orchard. In the kitchen
garden there was a beautiful big pear
tree, in which the crow used to perch
himself and watch the Old man SOW
seeds. set oGt young andca
base plarts; while Archie enjoyed the
same sight from his hammock on the
back porch.
One day grandpa stretched line
some fifty feet long, by the aid of
which he intended to set out straight
row Of young cabbage plants. There
are few more back-breaking jGus about
a farm than this setting out of young
cabbage or tomato plants. On this
day all Ehe old gentleman's attention
was on [he job il hand. He was not
thinking of Archie or the crow, or
anything else except those cabbage
plants, which were in a pan by his
side. as he worked slowly and patient
ly along toward the end Of the long
line. Every twelve or fourteen inches
he would punch a hole in the soft, rich
loam with a sharp stick, slip the root
of young cabbage plant down in this
hole, press the earth compactly around
it, and then make another hole at the
proper distance off, into which he
inserted the root of another plant.
The old man never took his eyes off
his work until he got to the end OF his
line, by which time his back and legs
were so nearly broken that he was in
sore need Of the satisfaction of survey
ing a hard task, we'll done. Alas! alas!
When he did turn around to view with
pride his work, what was his disgust to
see that ATchie's crow had followed
along behind him and quietly pulled up
every solitary cabbage plant, after
which the wicked imp of a bird had
flown into the pear tree, where he lok-
ed as innocent and solemn as If there
were not a cabbage plant within
thousand miles. Archie was asleep in
his hanmock-that's what the old man
said to himself. He was sure of 1t. 1t
was the wind and not the little rascaPs
laughing that shook the hammock so.
