DIFFERENCE OF DEGREE.
Both Parted Their Hair in the Mid
die, But Ones Part Was Much
the Wider.

One OF the veteran lawyers OF Bur-
llugton, Vt. Is A. V. Spaldlng, writes
+. II. Kelsey OF Lowell, in the Boston
Globe. One day when he WAS trying Il
case In the Chlttenden county court
he called as a witness styishly
dressed young man who parted his
hair in the middle, practice that
used to be regarded as indicative OF
a dude" The young man, however,
gave his testimony in plain, straight
forward manner and resumed his seat
When the argument came to be
made by the COUNSEL opposed TO Mr..
Spalding. reference was made In a
peculiarly cutting manner to the top-
Dish looking witness who parted his
hair in lie middle.
On rising to reply, Mr.. Spaldlng
said Il fail to see how the fact that
this young man parts his hair In the
middle has any bearing In this case.
He certainly has a right to part his
hair in the middle, and he parts II ex-
actly as my brother on the other side
does his. only" he added, pointing TO
the perfectly bald head of the oppos-
ing lawyer, "he doesn't part 1t quite
so wide"

Summer blowing Will answer well on
ground that has long been in sod. and
which has been turned under In the
spring. Such land Is usually planted
to corn or potatoes, and the frequent
use of the cultivator keeps the ground
loose and promotes decay Of the sod.
But potatoes for an early stock are
harvested as soon as possible, which
leaves the soil not only rough, but In
an excellent condition for weeds. By
blowing the soil after the potatoes are
off it will be reduced to a finer condi-
ton, the weeds will be destroyed and
the second crop Of weeds retarded, SO
that by the time the land should be
gotten ready for wheat (when 1t should
be plowed again) the seed bed for the
wheat can be narrowed down fine and
nice, while all the weeds will not only
have been destroyed, but prevented
from seeding. If the blowing on corr
land is done as soon as the corn IS out

Two cows cost $40 each per year for
keep. One of them yields you 1000
quarts OF milk a year, that bring you
$3.50. The other yields 40 quarts, that
bring you s26. The latter loses for you
about S14 and reduces the gain on the
former from $40 to $50. Why do you
keep the 1,20O-quart COW? You would
be better of with the one that clears
SAG, for you would have only half the
investment. half the work, and half
the feeding, and you would gain $l4
each year. There would be no surplus
butter on the market for years to come
and prices would rule strong II the
COWS were eliminated which are kept
at loss. Dairy farmers have not ye'
half walked up to an understanding Of
the great practical Importance OF weed
ing out the improbable cows from
their herds. Many man would maxi
