accustomed to the change OF food. The
lesson simply is TO so a little slow in

MILK FOR

Queer shall have good COWS. BY
good cow We understand one which
prod not less than 5000 pounds
of milk in one year, if making cheese
be the branch followed. and one that
produces not less thar $50 pounds of
butter, if butter1naking be the chief
line. To state it in another way, a
cow should earn over and above the
cost of her feed not less than $25 per
year. She may go as much beyond
these figures as she likes, but these
are the minimum or lowest amounts
allowed
In both, cheap and suitable feed are
necessary. 1t is feed that makes the
milk. Generally speaking we should
recommend grass, clover, corn silage.

The Power tY of
Lazy Isabel
By Mrs. Meish
Copyright, by Joseph 3. Bowles.)


Lady Isabel is one of those essen
italy notwithstanding women who ap-
peal to you by reason of their obvious
and inimitable helpleSsness.
| use the word ''inimitable," since
the helplessness is merely carefully
acquired attribute. the result of much
painstaking and innate art.
I was busy writing letters when
Lady ISABEL called me into her room
and asked me if | could come out with
her at once and do some shopping.
do come, DEAR" she pleaded, "it's
your duty to your hostess; besides,
I'm going to walk-it's so good for
ones skin to walk out of doors-and
l simply detest going about by my
self"
This was only natural; she was so
fair and youthful, and so utterly and
childishly dependent, that l almost
wondered how she dared cross the
road alone.
Aren't you taking Babs?" l asked;
she dearly loves walk with u.s."
Isabel regretfully dismissed the idea
Of bringing her little girl mo! poor
Babs hasn't anything fit to go out
with me in. Nurse makes her out
door coats SO abominably." She
glanced .unconsciously at her own ele-
CANT garment. But l shall take Min
to; he wants new coat, and am 60
ing to get him some of those boots
hear they keep at Purlam's."
Really" I said; "but do dogs wear
boots, Isabel?"
ooh, 1 don't know" she replied,
easily. mo, 1 suppose not, but he
must have them; he needn't wear
them, of course-but they are so
cheap. Poor Minto!" she added, ir-
relevantly.
"And poor Babs," murmured under
my breath.
She caught the words Yes, l do
wish | could afford some nice things
for Babs instead of the awful clothes

Veracity by Wire.

a desultory conversation with a prom

clothes he was then wearing.

paying fancy prices for cut-to-measure

which l paid $3.50. Appearances are
very deceptive. If / told you l pur-

COMMON SENSE IN
STOCK FEEDING
BY DIR. A. S. Alexander, Wisconsin.

A state veterinarian told the writer
the other day that on being called to
investigate a mysterious disease"
which had killed several fine young
cattle on the same farm, he found
that the cattle after partially starv-
ing upon bare pasture had suddenly
been turned upon stubble, where
clover had sprung up luxuriantly. The
cattle had simply suffered from acute
indigestion, bloated and died. Surely
every practical farmer should know
that any new feed given in large guam
titles and without due preparation is
apt to prove dangerous or deadly.
Whether they know this or not they
certainly forget it annually, for hun
dreds of horses have died of collie in
duced by eating new hay or new oats,
and as many more are slowly recov-
ering or still suffering from founder
induced in the same way. Animals
cannot take new food in large quanti-
ties all of a sudden without suffering
bad results. Everyone knows that
when a horse breaks loose at night
and gorges himself on any food to
which he has not been accustomed
and which therefore seems extra good
to him, he is about sure to suffer from
collie or have a severe attack of found
er. This is the worst phase of the
subject, but the feeding of all new
food without due care is as sure, to
a greater or less degree, to cause in
digestion or other trouble. Knowing
this, more care should be taken in
feeding new corn to hogs. At present
about every reader of this paper is

bIous Times to Come.

/ >. Edmund S. Stevens of
Washington says he has discovered
the secret of the universe which has
baff1ed scientific men for all time. He
doesn't boast when he says: 81 just
have, that's ALL" And, what is worse,
this prophet of evil declares more
earthquakes are coming. If you hap
pen to live in 1889, when the final gen.
eral shake-up occurs, you will witness
all the cities of all the nations laid
low on the junk heap. Finally, from
2O35 to 3144 A. D. the earth is to be
in perpetual perturbation, but in the
latter year it will right itself to its
upright position and the new heaven
and the new earth then begin. Real
