THE TOWN COW.

Occasionally a violent outbreak
occurs against the town cow and
there is always more or less of JUS
tice behind the outbreak. Usually
it amounts TO nothing and the town
cow still wanders unrebuked across
lawns aud through gardens. At
Lumpkin, Texas, lately fight on
the town cow resulted in a victory
for the animal. At a mass meet
ing Hon. Richard ONeil paid a
tribute to the COW, which, accord
ing to the Nacogdoches Sentinel,
carried the day. Mr.. O'Neil said:
Ladies' and gentlemen:-I talk
to you for the poor town COW. Of
all the great, she is the greatest.
When about to sit down to your
Sunday dinner, L wish [ could
strip the table of what she pro-
duced. I'd remove the cup of
waiting at baby's chair, I'd take
the cream and cheese, the butter,
custard, pie and cream biscuits,
the roast beef and leave you Il
meal of potatoes, beets, pickles and
toothpicks. Every scrap of her
from nose to tail is used 10y man.
We use her horn to comb our
hair, her skin is on our feet. her
hair keeps plaster on our walls,
her hoofs make glue and her tail
makes soup. Her blood is used
to make our cheese and our sugar
white, and her bones to fertilize
the soil. She has gone from Ply
mouth Rock to the setting sun.
1t WAS her son that turned the soil
in the settlers clearing and also
drew the prairie schooner for the
sturdy pioneers, while she follow
ed. And when the days march
was done she gave the milk to fill
the mothers breast to feed the
sucking babe that perchance was
to become the ruler of the coun-
try"

A practical test has been made
Of growing alfalfa in Richland
parish, and has proven successful.
The fact has been clearly demon
strated by w. T. Cook of Rayville
that this profitable crop can be
grown here as well as it can out
in the western states.
Mr.. Cook has two small patches
off of which he cuts ton an acre
at a cutting; five cuttings can be
gotten a year, thus yielding more
than five tons an acre per year.
This hay will bring $40 ton. a
gross revenue of 500 per acre. 1t
will not cost more than SIS per
acre to harvest, bale aud store the
crop, leaving a net income of $S5
per acre.
We should like to ask what crop
have we found that can beat this ?
Surely not cotton or corn: and
with the boil weevil speeding on
this way we must look for some
other crop than cotton anyway.
Alfalfa is the most valuable pas-
ture or forage plant grown to-day;
it is greatly relished by animals,
produces several crops year aud
is an improver of the soil.-Rich-

Daintiness a Virtue.
S. III. II. i'm Word and Works.

The word dainty suggests all
kinds of possibilities and we have
all felt the grace and charm of
dainty toilet. There is an art and
science in the manner of putting
on ones clothing. in adjusting the
little things, ribbons, belts, etc.
| think it is right as young girls
grow up to teach them the science
of caring for their belongings. No
one can be well gowned unless
they study to be neat, to brush
their garments, to learn the art of
mending and darning, and let me
say here that it makes all the diff
ference in the world to young
girl who has TO consider ways and
means. for it will make her pin
money go twice as far if she I'M
derstands this art of how to care
for her clothes. To be able to
mend the glove, to darn the hose,
to sponge the .oiled spots, to press
the wrinkle out, and to know how
to make ones ribbons and laces
take Oh a new freshness, all these
things give her the dainty look so
much admired. 1t does not take
wealth to create home, neither
does it takes riches to make a
young girl good to look at, but it
that indescribable charm of neat
ness. 1t is a virtue, and if girl
possesses it to a high degree she
can surpass many a girl of wealth
in style and appearance, and, that
too, on a small income. Every
fastidious woman loves dainty
things, but unless she knows how
to take care of them they will not
look so long.
Daintiness of person is another
virtue. Cleanliness is next to
Goodness. Since frequent bath
ing is necessary TO secure perfect
health it is also necessary to good
looks; the restfulness aud sense of
delicious cleanliness that follows
the bath is well worth any trouble
or Inconvenience it would cost.
An excellent method for bathing is
to be sure the water is soft; if not
soften it with powdered borax. 1t
will leave the skin soft and smooth.
1t is well known fact that worry
and fretting write fine lines which
deepen into wrinkles on the face.
A woman should study to be love-
ly in disposition, and with the vir-
tue of daintiness she will draw
persons to her, and if she adds
tact to her other charms her for
tune is made. She will be loved,
and the world will be better for
her having lived in it. Study to
be pleasing and make others hap
py and you will be happy.
