THE WAlLING WOMAN.
Queer Old Legend of the City OF
Mexico

- >S--~~A OA0 LEE <nu VI A1C lily VI
Mexico.
AS is generally known. senior. many
bad things are met with at night in
the streets of the city but this wailing
woman. La Lloron;i. is the very worst
of them all. She is worse by far than
the Vaca de I.umbre. that at midnight
comes forth from the potrero of San
Sebastian and goes galloping through
the streets like blazing whirlwind.
breathing forth from her nostrils smoke
and flames, because the fiery cow Sc
nor, while dangerous animal to hook
at, really does nobody any harm, and
La Llorona is as harmful as she
can be.
Seeing her walking along quietly
at the times when she is not running
and shrieking for her lost children
she seems a respectable person. only
odd looking because of her white skirt
and the white reboso with which her
head is covered. and anybody might
speak to her. But whoever does speak
to her in that very same moment dies!
No one who has stopped her to talk
with her ever has lived to tell what
happens at that terrible encounter. but
it is generally known that what does
happen is this: Slowly she turns to-
ward the one who has spoken, and
slowly she opens the folds of her white
rebOso. and then is seen a bare grin
ming skull set fast to bare skeleton,
and from her fieshless jaws comes one
single icy cold breath that freezes into
instant death whoever feels it. After
that, shrieking' again for her lost chill
dren, she rushes onward, the white
CLEAN Of her gashing the darkness, and
in the morning the one who spoke to
her is found lying dead there with a
look of despairing horror frozen fast
in his dead eyes.
What Is most wonderful Is that she
Is seen in the same hour by different
people in places widely apart. one see
ing her hurrying across the atrium of
the cathedral, another beside the ARGOS
de San COsme and a third near the
Salto del Augua, over by the prison OF
Belen, and all in the very same mo-
ment Of time.
She Is so generally known, senior, and
so greatly feared that nowadays few
people stop her to speak with her, and
that is fortunate. But her loud, keen
wailings and the sound of her running
feet are heard often and especially on
nights of storm. | myself have heard
them, senior, but have never seen her.
God forbid that / ever shall!-Thomas
A. Janvier in Harper's.

Dairy Wis d ON

Regularity in feeding and milking
counts great deal toward success.
To get best results be systematic in
your work.
Use milk cooler, but never use it
in impure air.
A cow tail holder is humane and
saves lot Of profanity.
Good milk depends OH something
more than the mixer and the COW.
You harvest corn and wheat once q
year. You harvest milk twice a day. I
The points that make COW a good
mixer make her poor beef animal.
You can't grind corn and get -four.
Neither can you feed straw and get
butter.
Your barn yard is not purely a place
for storing manure-not if you want
the best milk.
A safe rule. says Kimball's Dairy
Farmer, is never to sell any milk you
would be unwilling to use on your
own table
Cleanliness is requisite for the pro-
duction of a good grade of milk. You
can't keep milk sweet if you allow
filth to get into it. Filth means bad
milk, bad cream and bad butter. Be
ware OF filth. Keep the cows clean.
Skim milk is the best food for grow
ing pigs. Every particle of skim milk
should be utilized to turn the wastes
into pork
II you cannot afford to buy herd
of pure bred cattle you can buy a good
bull and grade up your herd Pedigree
doesn't make production, and produc-
ton is what most of us are after. 1t
wouldn't be altogether profitable for
cot us to be breeders of pure bred
stock, but we could all increase the
productiveness of our herds to great
advantage. A good dairy bull will ac-
complish that end more rapidly than
many suppose.
The care of the cow just after calv-
ing determines to a large degree her fu-
ture profit as mixer. If she is not
at once brought up to a high state Of
milk production the chances are she
cannot be during that period of lacta-
ton. II COW is permitted to fall in
her milk production, says the Farmers
Advocate, it is next to impossible to
get her back to her former yield.

Strive For the Best.

The essential requisites for success
full rearing of calves are a high ideal
of what is wanted-a good place to
keep the young calves, good blood as
foundation to work upon, careful, reg
ular, liberal feeding; attention to all
details, keeping the calves healthy,
love for the work and the desire to
make each calf develop and prove to
be little Letter than it's predecessors.
No branch of dairying offers so great
a possibility for improvement and sat
isfaction to the owner as we'll bred
bunch of dairy type heifer calves, and
none will prove more remunerative.

the best.-H. o. Daniels in New Eng

BAD Teeth and Eye disease.

A Scotch surgeon recently called at
tention to the connection between an
Encared for mouth with carious teeth
and a form Of eye disease. He de-
scribes three cases, In each Of which
the teeth were in very bad condition.
The gums were soft and spongy, bleed
ing easily. while tiny drops Of pus
could be pressed out from their mar
gins. The breath had a sour smell, and
the complexion was Of muddy, sallow
tint. In caring for these cases the
first step was to purify the mouth and
put the teeth into good condition Such
procedure, together with suitable ton
les and local eye treatment, brought
about perfect recovery.

Dust at Milking Time.

Just before the cows are let into the
stable for milking it is common to-
shake up the bedding and scatter it
about the stalls. This is Objectionable
because the dust raised makes Iodg-'
ment for bacteria, and as it settles it
gets into the milk pals and on to the
cows and Is brushed off into the milk.
Fix the stables as soon as the cows
are out. 1t is impossible to have abso-
lutely clean milk unless the dust il
kept down at milking time.

Cause of Hay Fever.

1t is now known that hay fever Is
due to the invasion Of the mucous
membrane Of the nose by the pollen of
certain plants. This membrane is not
equally sensitive in all persons: there
are many who are immune from hay
fever Different pollens have not the
same activity either. That of certain
plants is innocuous. whereas that of
other species is very active. The irri-
tating action is really exerted by the
pollen itself and not by bacterium Of
any kind. At present Ia plants are
known to have toxic pollen; wheat, rye
and large number Of gramina form
a part of them. 1t is possible by snuff
Ing up dry toxic pollen to produce hay
fever during the middle of the winter.
