1t is not pleasant sight to see lot
OF cows in the barnyard with their
noses thrust through a hole broken
IN the ice covering a tub of water,
nor is it any wonder that such COWS
are poor mixers. Years ago the writer
worked on the old-time plan Of water
ing cows once a day; at noon; after a
time he tried the plan of watering
them twice daily; then the plan was
tried of furnishing water three times
daily, during the winter, and a com
parison Of results showed that it paid
well. The water given at morning
and night is nearly warm, and the
cows seem to enjoy it greatly during
the cold days. That given at noon
is colder, but the chill is removed
and the animals drink it freely. OF
course, it is considerable work to
water cows in this manner, but Il one
has a number of animals, some con
triYance can be put in operation which
Will make the work comparatively
easy. Try it for the next two or
three months, watch the results in the
milk pail, and you will agree that it
pays.

Hasty work is always at the cost of

Gentleness with the cows pays.
Cows that fear their owners are not as
profitable as they might be.

ct Is a mistaken idea some histor-
ians have of tracing the origin Of news
papers to the Acta Diurna of the
Romans" said the poet laureate of all
the Pascagoulas in the New Orleans
mes-Democrat THE Acta Diurna,
which means proceedings of the day,
was the title of a gazette drawn up
and published daily at Rome contain
ing an epitome of the proceedings OF
the public assemblies, Of the law
courts, of the punishments of offenders.
an account of any public buildings or
other work in progress, together with
list of births; deaths, marriages and
divorces. In the very earliest lines of
the Eternal city provision was made
under religious sanction for the due
registration ot births and deaths, ac-
companied By the payment of small
fee Indeed, it was not until the six
teenth century that anything at all
approaching to the nature even OF the
Acta Diurna existed.
'In 15G3, when the republic Of Venice
waged war against the Turks, military
and commercial news was communi-
Gated by means of written sheets,
which were read in particular places
| to those anxious to know what was
going on, and who paid for this priv
ilege in a coin called a gazetta, name
which by degrees was transferred to
newspapers in Italy and France and
passed over into England.
'It is in the reign Of Queen Eliza
beth that the beginning Of the printed
sheets is ascribed. Among the earliest
names given the first newspapers were
the English Mercurie, published for the
contradiction of false reports one num-
Der Of which contains an account Of
the queens thanksgiving for the
victory gained over the enemies of En-

entitled the News of the Week, edited
by Nathaniel Butler.
