MistIetoe of the Druids.

Mistletoe for centuries has been
one of the most important factors
in Yuletide decorations, its use dat
ing back as far as the days of the
Druids. The mistletoe of the Dru-
ids is Viscum album. It is true
parasite, existing on the sap of other
trees and never at any time is it in
contact with the soil. It grows free
ly on apple, pear and plum trees, on
poplars, thorns, naples and bass
wood and rarely on the oak It is
said that the only sacred mistletoe
of the Druids was that found upon
the oak. The propagation is by the
seeds. These are covered with a
translucent, gummy substance. They
are placed in position by birds,
which, in trying to rid their beaks
of the sticky seeds, rub them on the
bark. The seeds which are deposit
ed on the east or north side of the
tree grow more rapidly than those
on the south or west.

THE SONS OF LIBERTY.
NorfoIk's Early Protest Against King
Georges Tyranny.

Norfolk's Early Protest Against King
Georges Tyranny.
But few of the most diligent stu
dents of American history know
that Norfolk patriots denied the
right of Great Britain to tax the
colonies without representation
over two months before the promul-
cation of the celebrated Mecklen-
burg declaration of independence
and nearly five months before rep
resentatives of the thirteen colonies
met at Philadelphia and formally
renounced the authority of Great
Britain.
Yet as far back as March 13,
1776, number of Norfolk citizens
assembled under the name of "Sons
of Liberty" and announced in reso-
lutions of bold and certain terms
their determined opposition to any
encroachments of British authority
on their rights to, govern themselves
under the British crown.
These Norfolk people did not de-
clare their independence. They ex-
pressly affirmed their wish to be
subjects of King George Ill. They
merely declared that there should
be no taxation without representa-
ton. Among the many prominent
Norfolk names attached to the doc
ument are Henry Tucker, Robert
Tucker, Robert Tucker, Jr.; Maxi
milan Calvert, Thomas Butt,
Thomas Willoughby, John Taylor,
Jr.; Joseph Hutchings, Jr., and
James Parker.
The resolutions adopted read as
follows:
Having taken into consideration the
evident tendency Of that oppressive and
unconstitutional act of parliament COM
monty called the stamp act and being
desirouS that our sentiments should be
known to poSterity, and recollecting that
we are a part of the colony which first
in general assembly openly expressed its
detestation of the said act, which is
pregnant with ruin and productive of
the most pernicious consequences, and
unwilling to rivet the shackles of slavery
and oppression on ourselves and mil
lions yet unborn, we have unanimously
come to the following resolutions:
Resolved, That we acknowledge our
lord and sovereign, King George III,
to be our rightful and lawful king
and that we will at all times to the ut
most of our power and ability support
and defend his most sacred person, crown
and dignity and shall always be ready
when cons titutionally called upon to as
sist his majesty with our lives and for
tunes and to defend his just rights and
prerogatives.

ways and means which Divine Providence
has put into our hands defend ourselves

STUDY YOUR COWS.
Re Sure That They Are In the Pro-

Z
dneing Glass.
We like our cows. Perhaps we have
raised them from calves and we are
prejudiced in their favor. We do not
quite like to own up that we are not
getting as much from them as we
should. There is a haziness about the
whole matter, says the Farmers Ad-
vocate, that ought not to exist in 4
business upon which we are depending
for ali that we have and all that We
are /.
How can we be sure that our cows
are all right, that their milk is rich
and that they are in the producing
class, instead of living on what some
one else does?
Not all of us have as yet come into
possession of a testing machine. More
farmers own them than used to be the
case, and still probably not one in
hundred farmers have one of their own
That way Of determining the value of
our COWS is, or seems to us to be. as vet
impracticable.
Have the Milk Tested.
But other men have such machines
And, although it may be at some risk
of humiliation and the dashing of a
certain amount of pride, the best pos
sible thing we can do is to take the
milk of our cows to some such man and
have it carefully tested. Then we need
the courage to act accordingly.
But even If this doorway is shut up
against US we may get few bottles
and do little investigating on our own
hook. Fill them from the milk Of diff
ferent cows and compare the cream
| that rises to the top. It will soon be
possible to tell which are the best
cows, the cows that are doing business
for us, and the rest will be compara-
lively easy.
If nothing else presents itself as
practicable, we may take some of the
milk of our dairy into open teacups
and let it stand till the cream has risen
and test the individuals in that way
Surely in some way we must find out
what our cows are doing. Competition
is SO sharp in these days, food prod
ucts are so valuable. and time and
labor so important as factors in our
farm operations that we cannot afford
to be working along in the dark.
There is an old highland .proverb
that runs:

Advantage of Thorough Milking.


The milk glands, like the muscles
and other organs of the body, are de
veloped by practice, and If the entire
secretion of the udder of the COW at
the time of milking is not removed the
glands will soon become less active
and will lessen the flow. Clean milking
has a tendency to make persistent
mixers, and this is the kind that as a
rule are the most profitable. This is
especially true in regard to heifers
with first calf. By thorough milking
accompanied with proper and liberal
feeding, the milk glands are stimulat
ed to greater activity, and she vii.

Butter and Milk

Close attention to details is neces

butter exactly alike in quality. A
change in the food will affect milk and

fact that almost every station in the

Milk Cows In the Stable.
i saw two girls milking one evening
after a heavy shower in an open barn
yard where the mud and manure were
about four inches Geep. Contraste,
with doing the work in clean, dark
ened stable, it was a most unneces-
sarily disagreeable job-just the kind

Price and Value.
The price of the COW does not indi-
cate her value as a producer. Gilt
edged butter is something that depends
on how it is made. The COW gives the
milk, but upon the management of the
milk, cream and butter depends the
quality.
When to Skim.
Milk should be skinned as soon as
the least degree Of acidity can be de-
tected, as the cream will all have been
precipitated when that stage is reach
