DAIRY WISDOM,

Never allow the milk to sour in the
swill barrel.
Do not let the cows dry up on ac-
count of short pasture.
We have all the trouble with COWS
whether they pay profit or not.
Never allow little milk to remain
in the barrel from day to day until it
is rank with putrefaction.
The fresh. full June pasture will not
last into July and August, so be sure
and be ready when the pinch comes.
The noon feeding should be warmed
not be held over but fed the same day.
Calves should have the milk warm
from the separator, and the pigs should
have their share sweet and in the same
way
See that the water supply Is pure
and abundant. With shortage in
the water supply there will be disap-
pointment in the results OF the dairy.
Don't forget this!
If any cows that are large mixers
are about to calve. keep them in from
the pasture and feed hay for a time,
so that the udders will not become too
much dlstended.-Farm Journal.
When cows are salted only once a
week, they eat too much at time, and
it causes looseness of the bowels. They
will eat little salt nearly every day

Strange Story from Georgia.

From Georgia comes the strangest
tale of ghosts that has ever appeared

brothers and sisters lived here many
years before the troubles came which
finally drove us from the place.
"One afternoon in the summer of
1870 my mother was sewing in her
bedroom when she heard an unaccus-
toned noise. Again and yet again it
came with ever lessening intervals.

exceptions the rooms as described are

there Is reason to fear the cold, a
thermometer is placed in the room

At another time she was taken by

and dressed in brown dress with

The story of these happenings soon
became noised abroad. and thousands
visited the Marsh residence; some out

to solve the phenomena. but none
could fathom the mystery. Mr. Marsh
finally had to give up the house as
his wife's nerves were affected.
