TYING the kickinu Cow,

| have tried many ways of tying a
kicking COW, and most of them
have proved failures. One way,
however, that was told me by
an old farmer has proved en-.
tirely satisfactory, and l give it to
readers of the Farmers Review. Take
a rope and make moose in one end.
The rope should be an inch in thick
ness and should be about five feet
long. When starting to milk pass the
rope around the cows legs, crossing
it between the legs and running the
long end through the loop. The loose
end should lie over the lap of the
mixer. The two loops, one around
each leg, should be above the
joints in the legs. When the cow tries
to kick she will be able to push her
leg forward but short distance and
will not be able to upset the milk pail
or disturb the mixer. l MIXED one
kicking cow for several years, and
always had her tied this way. The
rope will slip little, but not enough
to allow the cow to do any damage.
Il is of no use to attempt to tie a
cow further down on her legs,
as she Will then get excited and throw
herself She does not seem to mind
the arrangement | describe above.

Troublesome Children.

Everything is relative, after all
even age; yet one might suspect that
the children" of one of Mr.. Muzzey s
Men of the Revolution" might have
arrived at years OF some discretion
and proper regard for behavior.
When | saw the old soldier, says Mr.
Nuzzey, he was the sole survivor OF
those who witnessed the battle OF
Bunker Hill At the age of % gears
he was attending a Whig celebration
held at Boston in 1850, and there
met him. He was a good-looking old
man, with a large. well-shaped head
blue eyes and mild expression. His
whole countenance beamed with ben
evidence.

"Oh, yes, | have two sons" he re-
Piled.
why did you not bring them with
you"
The old mans smooth brow wrin
kled into a semblance of frown as
he said:

those boys on an occasion of this
sort"
why, how old are they" I asked
wondering if he could mean his grand
children.

The Hen and the Garden.

TO try to have a garden and keep
hens at the same time. Any farmer
that has watched the matter knows
better. The saying doubtless arose
among the townspeople whose keenest
disappointments came from the little
boris hens. AS a matter of fact the
hens need be kept out of the garden
only at planting time and during the
short time when the vegetables are
still so small as to be easily destroyed.
When good size has been attained by
the plants and vegetables the hens
are a help to the garden by keeping
down the bugs and worms.

Why the Estate of Maine."

A really curious question has been
raised by the Boston Herald. Why, it
asks, does a Maine man always speak
of his part of the country as 1.-The
State of Maine" instead of calling it
simply Maine" as New Yorker
would say New York." or Nebras-
kan Nebraska? AS an adequate an
swer to the inquiry 1t says: Maine
was not one of the original states, but
up to 1920 was a part of Massa-
chusetts. 1t was then known as the
district of Maine. In 1920 Maine
achieved her independence and be-
came a separate state of the Union.
In their consequent citation the peo,
pie of the new state began to speak
of the state of Maine, as distinguished
from the old district of Maine, and the
expression passed into current speech.

Egg Laying Capacity Of Fowls.

were all laboring to assume that hens
were largely alike in their capacity
for the production of eggs. At the
Maine station experiments have been
carried on for a good many years,
looking to the finding out of the rela-
tive capacity of layers of the Plymouth
Rock breed. A hen of that breed laid
PSI eggs in year, another 260, and
several went over the $40 mark. Quite
a flock of hens was got together each
one Of which laid in excess of 200
eggs. One hen that would have been
prize winner at any show did not
lay an egg during the entire time she
was owned by the station.

Finished Lumber for Coops.

The use of finished lumber for
coops is to be commended. 1t is a
mistake to use old half rotten boards
for the construction of such coops,
even though they may be used for but
one season. The mites will find the
numerous cracks great harboring
places, and the rats will be able to
gnaw through them if they have occa-
sion to do so. The painting of such
coops is discouraging job, while the
painting of the smooth lumber is a
pleasant pastime. When properly
painted well-made coops may be kept
for years. They can be made so that
they can be easily taken to pieces
when the time comes to put them
away for the winter.

IL regard to privateering?" And a
curl of scorn touched Lafittes lips.
Tell me, l pray you, sir, how many
scores of vessels, flying the flag of the
United States, are, at this moment,
Ireying upon foreign commerce."
But only upon the commerce of
Great Britain, with whom we are at
war" declared Jackson, his grim feat
ures relaxed-but only for an instant
by a satisfied smile; land they are
acting under regular letters of maruue
and reprisal."
True; and the vessels in which I
lave been interested acted under let
ters of marque from the Republic of
Carthagena, and sailed under the flag
of that nation. Never. since I con-
trolled them have they interfered with
the ships of any nation excepting
Spain, with whom, as you are aware.
the Republic of Carthagena is at war"
Jackson was silent, and glanced
scowlingly at Claiborne, who was tap
ping the tabled abstractedly, and ap-
peared absorbed by his own refec-
tons.
Il thank you, general" Lafitte
resumed, speaking with less en-
phasis, ''for the opportunity you have
give me to explain these matters.
And, without going into them any far
Their, | wish to assure you once more
that my former offer was made from
legitimate and patriotic motives"
Jackson bowed, as if in acquies-
cence.
But demanded Laftte, a sudden
rush of indignation sounding in his
voice, how was it received? Ny mo-
tives were impugned-my statements
branded as false; my messengers were
imprisoned. And, as fitting sequence
to this. an armed expedition was sent
tC Barataria; my men were butchered,
or taken prisoners; my vessels seized,
and my property destroyed. In addi-
ton to this, and harder than all else,
my foster-brother, after being NOR
tally wounded was brought to New
Orleans, thrown into the common gaol,
and left there, 20 die"
LATTE had been standing all this
time. But now, as he finished speak
ing, he seated himself and folded his
arms, while his face took an express
sion of stoical Indifference contrasting
sharply with the imprisoned words
that had just poured from his lips.

HAD OVERLOOKED A FORTUNE.
Gold Close at Hand Not Suspected by
Treasure Seekers

The man with whom the writer
bunked-a sober, industrious young
fellow-engaged in working a lease
with several partners. They sank a
shaft $50 feet in depth and "drifted'
from the bottom in their search for
gold, until not penny was left in
tier treasury.
They had discovered absolutely
nothing. The lease was abandoned
and all were obliged to go to work for
wages. Day after day they had flung
their coats across monster dorsal
fin Of dark, volcanic rock, outjutting
from the hill near by, and given it
never thought.
The ledge of rock was fabulously
rich. The leasers who followed them
went at the ledge of hopeless looking
porphyry on top of the ground and
found it fairly shot full of gold. They
channeled it out, as men might chan
mel for ditch, and removed over fifty
sacks of ore worth $500 a sack.-Har'

Temperature for churnlna.

In most of our farms the matter OF
temperature of cream at the churning
lime and of the room in which the
churning is done receives little or no
attention. In summer the butter
comes quickly and the churner thinks
1t is because the cows are on pasture;
in winter the butter comes slowly and
the churner thinks that this is due to
the dry feed. In most cases the tenn
perature is the great factor in regu-
tating the time of churning. With
the temperature of the cream and of
the room at so degrees the butter is
quickly churned. But it is impossible
to make good butter at temperature
OF 80 degrees; at that temperature a
great deal of casein is incorporated
with the butter and an unusual
amount of water. Sixty degrees is
good temperature at which to churn.
The churning between 60 and IS de-
grees has been popular for many
years, but it is only recently that but
termakers have adopted the plan of
churning at so degrees and under.
This can be done only with heavy
cream, that is, a cream containing a
very large per cent of butter fat 1t
is not supposed that thin cream can
be churned at all at this low tenn
perature. The best favored butter
and the butter that has taken first
premiums at our leading expositions,
has been made at very low tempera-
ture. AS general principle it may be
assumed that the richer the cream
the lower the temperature at which
the churning may be done.

CHAPTER XVII.

Early in December 1914, Gen. Jack
soI arrived at New Orleans.
LATTE had, some time before this,
at Shell Island. seen copy of the
proclamation issued by Jackson while
yet at Mobile, after the general had
received from Gov. Claiborne a full
statement of the proposition made to
Lafitte by the English, together with
the Barbarian leaders offer OF serv-
ice on behalf of himself and his fol-
lowers.
Between and o'clock of an even
ing toward the middle of December,
Jackson and Gov. Claiborne were seat
ed in the library of the latter's resi-
dence, engaged in an earnest discus
sion of some of the many perpleXing
questions with which they were con-
fronted.
1--WE are too weak, by far, tell you,
Claiborne" Gen. Jackson was saying
with irascible emphasis, land without
anything like a sufficient strength to
meet what is now at our very doors.
l feel-to be frank with you-some
doubt Of our ability to sustain the
present enthusiasm of these people
who were talking so lately of capitu-
lating to damned Britishers."
Captivating" echoed the governor,
Surely. general at this late day, and
in the face of the pledges they have
made, neither the legislature nor the
citizens would return to any such
idea"
Il am not so sure OF that, if they
we're forced, as are you and l. to real
lZe that the enemy outnumbers us ten
or more to one" growled Jackson.
Before the governor-whose back
was to the door-could reply to this
outburst, he became aware that a
third person had entered the room !;
and he glanced over his shoulder to
see who it might be, while his face
showed the irritation he felt at any
one presuming to interrupt him at
such time.
But his expression changed to one of
mingled anger and CONSERVATION; and

garding the intruder, started to his
feet.
After bowling respectfully, the new
conner stood silent while his black
eyes searched with curious intentness
the stern face of Gen. Jackson, whose
right hand had stolen into the breast
OF his coat.
The governor. who had risen when
he saw the key turned in the door,
low made step or two toward the
chair where lay his sword; but the
stranger, picking up the weapon be-
fore Claiborne could reach 1t, present
cd it to the latter with graceful bow.
coupled with courteous Permit me,
sir"
Then, turning quickly to Jackson,
he added, extending both arms to their
full length either side of him, Sure
lv Gen. Jackson will not fire upon an
urarmed mani" And he advanced to
the table.
Gov. Claiborne's face had redeemed
ancrily as he took his sword from the
strangers hands and replaced it on the
chair; and Jackson's expression
changed somewhat, as. with "Assur-
edly not, sir" he withdrew his hand
from the pistol.
II beg, gentlemen that you will par
don my intrusion" said the unknown
visitor, until you shall hear the OBJ
iect of my mission. And l pray you
to believe that I come here for no
ctker reason than a desire to be of
use to you, and to the country both

| bic toward Gen. Jackson, who was still
staring at him, as If in wonder at his
youth and appearance.
Il ask, general" he said, that you
and YOU also, Gov. Claiborne, will ac'
cord me the honor to read the Soriginal
documents | received some time ago
from your enemies, and in respect to
which | understand my statement was
condemned as false"
BE seated, Capt LATTE" said Gov.
Claiborne, with rather reluctant court
esy.
The former bowed slightly in recog-
milton of the invitation, but remained
standing as he continued, with in
creased emphasis, THE statements
was submitted in perfect good faith,
inspired by earnest desire to fulfil my
duty to the country in which | have
made my home, and whose laws
have never been found guilty of trans
crossing All l asked in return was
that the names of myself and follow
ers should be freed from the obloquy
which has unjustly become attached
to them"
Lafitte's words and manner were full
of stern dignity, and Claiborne made
neither reply nor comment. Jackson,
however accepted the implied chal-
lenge.
Have you never been accused of
smuggling, and slave-trading, Capt.
LATTE, and of being privateer?" he
asked, in tone of dry sarcasm.
Accused, yes; but never convict
ed was the quick reply. Il was
once, as Gov. Claiborne will tell you,
Indicted; but l was tried before an
impartial judge, and acquitted by a
jury composed Of the foremost citi-
2ens of the stSte."
Jackson's face expressed surprise,
and he glanced inquiringly at Clai-
borne, who nodded, as if in affirmation
of the statement. Then the former,
again turning his stern eyes upon La
fitte, asked, How is it with you in re-
gard to privateering?"
Let me ask how it is with you, Gen.
Jackson, and with your own country,

of her illness. I" For two years I was
