milking stool for curry comb; but
curry her by gentle, hand strokes and
give her bit of wheat bran or some
other food she may relish. If she
then resents, keep cool. Procure a
piece of half inch rope and put it
around her body just forward of the
udder, draw it tightly and tie with
a single bow knot and she will not
lift foot to kick. But do this kind
ly, and when taken off pet her and
she will nine times out of ten soon
love to have you milk her instead of
dreading your presence.
Second-As regards her sucking
herself; you are not certain of that,
I think. You can, however, tell by
the appearance of her teats. Many
methods can be used to prevent cows
doing this. Perhaps as good way as
any is to put a halter upon her and
a surcingle around her just back of
the shoulders. Then procure a stick
about three feet four inches long for
an ordinary cow-a piece Of an old
fork handle makes good one. Bore
a half inch hole through each end of
it so small rope or cord can be run
through it and fasten one end to
the halter ring under the chin and
the other bring between the legs to
the surcingle She can feed with this
and have free use of her head, but
cannot reach her udder with her
nose.-C. D. Smead, v. S., in N. Y.

FORGETTING THE COW.
Faithful Friend Has Tided Many
. Farmer Over Periods of
Cruel Depression.

Perhaps it is not altogether to be
regretted that when prosperity comes
and nature smiles man is apt to forget
the times of adversely, says Wallace's
Farmer. At the same time it is un-
grateful, to say the least, to forget the
instrumentality that pulled him
through, and it is foolish to suppose
that adversely is banished for good and
prosperity will continue forever. 1t is
not many years since the dairy COW
stood between the western farmer and
very hard times indeed. Money was
scarce. Prices of grain, of beef cattle
and other stock were low. Prospects
did not seem very bright to the farmer.
In this emergency the dairy COW stood
between many farmer and hardship.
She brought in cash every week or
month. She bought shoes for the chill
dren, dresses for the women folk and
well, in some cases, perhaps, tobacco
for the men. She enabled some farm
ers to float over the period of depres-
sion comfortably and many to swim
where without her they would have
sunk.
The hard times have gone. The pig.
the horse, the steer, the grain, are all
bringing good prices. Money is plen-
tiful and cheap. Bank accounts are car
rying a comfortable surplus. Under
these conditions many farmer is for
getting the good old COW that pulled
him though. He is allowing the calf to
run with her. He is forgetting and his
children are not learning how to milk
The usfulness of the COW for the dairy
is being destroyed. When the turn of
the tide comes and the farmer must
turn to the COW again, she will not be
able to serve him as she did before, not
through any fault of hers, but because
of his neglect.
Men cannot farm high-priced land
on horseback. Neither can they always
afford to sit on the fence and watch
the calf do the milking.

The English "Society for the Prevention of
Consumption" presided over by the Prince
of Wales, was recently addressed by Sir Will
liam Broadhent, who stated that it was de-
fnitely known that every case Of consump
tiOn began with germ communicated from
some other case. There is no such thing as
inherited consumption. There may be local
weakness which tends to consumption, but
the germ has absolutely to be planted in that
weak spot before consumption can ensue.
This ought to comfort thousands Of people
who have weak chests" or weak lungs
They are not foreordained victims of this
dread disease. AL that is needed to bid alb
solute defiance to this deadly scourge, is to
be able to strengthen the weak lungs, and
build up strong body. The answer to this
need is found in DR.. P1erce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t 80 purifes the blood and in
creases the blood supply. that disease is
thrown off. and the weak organs are nour
ished into perfect health, which def1es germs
of every kind. People, given up by doctors,
emaciated, bleeding at.the lungs, with obsti-
nate. lingering coughs, are being cured every
day by the use of Golden Medical Discov-
cry" 1t is strictly temperance medicine
containing no alcohol, whisky or other int
oxicant.

QUEER SUPERSTITION.
Bad Luck Sure to Follow You II You Are
Broke on Thursday.

However smart a man may be, how
ever deep of brain, there is yet trace
of superstition in his makeup" said
a thoughtful man, ''anG often it exists
aud controls him in various ways with
out his knowing anything about it.
II you should tell him that he was
superstitious he would resent it, and In
no uncertain way. But all men are
superstitious in some way, just the
same.
"There are little things about which
men are bit cranky, and they develop
into we'll rounded superstitions. There
is Opie Reed, who has queer little
notion that if he gets up Thursday
morning without money in his pocket
it is bad luck, and he believes it 80
firmly that he will not venture out of
the house and will not turn bis hand to
a piece of work if it happens to him.
He is generally very careful to see that
he has something left over Wednesday
night-a nest egg, as the saying goes
for Thursday morning. But he some-
times forgets, and suddenly discovers
that he is dead broke. That settles
it. Not a step will he take from the
house that morning. Now. how is
that for superstition You call him
superstitious-well, you had better do
it at long range. I know another man
in Chicago who has queer little no.
tion that it Is bad luck to forget any
thing when you are leaving home in
the morning. One morning We waik
I'D to the car together. He suddenly
turned ON me with the statement: 'I'll
not 60 to the city to-day When l
asked him why. he said he had forgot
ten something. It's bad luck, he
said, and he was unceremoniously maxi
ing tracks for the house when be said
it. I suppose we all have these little
notions and beliefs, but we are not con-
,cious of them, and so we are apt to
believe, just honestly. too, that We are
not the least bit superstitious. But
We are, just the same."-New Orleans
Time Democrat.
