The Ceremony Was . Wonderful One
In Louis xvl!s Time.
In memoirs Of the Comtesse de
Boige" Q7s1-1s14). edited from the
original manuscript by Charles Nicoul-
laud, Is found the following realistic
description Of the "coucher" Of Louis
XVI:
1.-THE kings coat. waistcoat and shirt
were taken of. He stood there naked
to the waist, scratching and rubbing
himself as II he had been alone. in the
presence Of the whole court and often
many strangers of distinction. The
first valet handed the nightshirt to the
most highly qualified person, to one Of
the princes Of the blood II any were
present. This was a right and not a
favor. When the person was one with
whom he was on familiar terms the
king would often play tricks while
putting 1t on, stepping on one side to
make the holder run after him, accom-
panying these charming jokes with
loud guffaws, which greatly vexed
those who were sincerely attached to
him. When his shirt was on he put
on his dressing gown, while three val
cts unfastened his waist belt and knee
breaches, which fell to his ankles, and
in that garb, scarcely able to walk with
these ridiculous letters, he would shut
de round the circle Of those in wait
ing When the king had had enough
of 1t, he shufYied backward to an arm.
chair which was pushed into the mid
die Of the room and dropped into 1t,
lifting up his legs. Two pages on
their knees Immediately seized his
legs, pulled of the kings shoes and lei
them drop with a crash, which was q
point of etiquette. As soon as he heard
the noise the usher opened the door
saying, Gentlemen will please pass
out Those present went away, and
the ceremony was finished. However
the person who was holding the can
dlestick was allowed to stay II he had
anything special to say to the king
and hence the value that was attached
to this strange favor"

UnIucky Suggestion.

An old vicar had a groom who had
been detected stealing his masters
oats. The vicar had not decided what
course to take, and meantime the
groom had gone to the curate to ask
him to plead for him, and the sympa-
thetic young fellow FASTENED to the
rectory to appeal to the vicar. The
old vicar heard his curate out, but
looked obdurate, so as last resource
the curate quoted Scripture as plea
for leniency and said we We're taught

"and as the fellow has taken my oats

Every live stock farmer should pro-
vide comfortable quarters for his
stock before cold weather sets In, says
Farmers Advocate. Good quarters
where live stock can keep dry through
the winter storms are necessary. Good
shelter saves feed, and feed necessarily
saves money. Comfortable quarters
should not only be provided for the
winter months. 1t is just as necessary
for cattle and other live stock to have
cool place for summer as warm
place for winter. The proper housing
of live stock is matter which should
receive the attention of every farmer.
1t is not extravagant to invest money
in these things; neither is it necessary
that the buildings should be of costly
material. When animals are kept I'M
der conditions favorable to them the
best results are obtainable.

HINTS FOR FARMERS


4 During the winter time If the ram be
young he should be kept in continu-
ally improving condition. In case he
has matured his body growth the OBJ
ject should be to keep him in a thrifty,
normal condition, never feeding heav-
fly Of fattening food Nothing has
more injurious effect upon his vitality
than to overfeed, getting him too
fieshy, and then be forced by scant
feeding to reduce him for service. The
bulk of his ration should be bright
clover hay, bean pods, straw and an
occasional feed Of corn fodder, never
feeding any of the above to excess.
We believe 1t good plan to feed one
of each kind of ration at time and
never enough of any one to cause a
stinted appetite. For grain we feed
quite literally of oats and bran, not at
any time crowding him with fattening
grain, such as corn. We have fed en-
silage to our rams with entire success,
and we believe that for part ration
as succulent food there is nothing
better. 1t is good plan to pick all the
corn out before feeding. Much care
must be exercised not to feed ensilage
so literally as to cause the bowels to
become too loose.-C. L. G. Reynolds in
Ohio Farmer.

Easdinu Alfalfa 70 Horsss.

In recent issue Of the Breeders
Gazette of Chicago Joseph e. Wing
says Of feeding alfalfa to horses:
When alfalfa hay is first fed to
horses or mules not accustomed to it
and fed In large amounts 1t sometimes,
not always, makes them urinate more
freely than is their wont. This is
nearly always avery temporary effect,
and in short time they eat alfalfa
hay with no other noticeable effect
than that they are in better flesh than
when eating other forage, work better
and feel better.
Alfalfa hay for horses or mules
should be allowed to get fairly mature
before cut, should be well cured and
have no mold on it. The last cutting Of
alfalfa is usually too late to make the
best horse feed, the coarser crops
grown earlier in the season serving
better. Neither horses nor mules
should be fed all the alfalfa hay they
will consume. 1t is too rich a feed,
and they do not need so much of it,
though it is ordinarily fed In limitless
amounts with no perceptible injury.

The Italian Mission.

Strangers from Italy are coming to
our shores, in troops, more numerous
than the armies that decended upon
the Roman empire in the early cen
turtles They come in peace, seeking a
peaceful living, and are Very useful to
to us in digging our sewers, building
our railroads, doing the hard manual
labor formerly done by another race
who came in like manner decades ago,
but have adapted American ways, and
become assimilated with our popula-
tion. {af
Shall we leave the newcomers, who
differ from US in nature, speech and
habits, to 70 on in their own ways,
forming separate colonies in our midst,
endangering our civic life by their
Ignorant voting, and by modes of living
unknown to us before?
This is the question which is press
ing upon our towns and cities, and we
cannot escape it. We must meet the
needs of the italian, if we do not want
unframed children in our streets, and
un-Americanized men and women liv-
ing foreign life in their crowded
homes.
The Italian mission was organized
TO attempt to partially solve this ques-
tion and now asks the help of all good
citizens in Mcrristown.
The Neighborhood house in Flagler

Better Cows For the Dairy.

The dairyman with the unproductive
COW must make room for the better
animal and set himself to work to get
better ones. How shall he do it? If
he wants to start in the right path
with least waste of time and money
he must breed them. Get bull of one
of the four dairy breeds and stick to
that breed A general purpose breed
may be cheaper at first, but more ex-
pensive in the end A beef bull will
only lead him still further from the
straight and narrow dairy path. Milk
he must have and the sooner he Jokes
up with good dairy animal the sooner
will he get his milk and consequent
butter fat. The animal that viii sup
ply both beef and butter fat equally
well may exist, but the present out
look is that she is too scarce for any
dairynian to look for with hopes of
uccess.-HoardIs Dairyman.
