only white Republican In his section
of the state. has in his employ an
aged negro known as Uncle Reuben,
Who "fit fur de union endurin' de

For some time the old man had been
endeavoring to secure a pension from
the government for this service. A
few days ago. as Mr.. Allen was riding
by a field where he was blowing,
Uncle Reuben hailed him with the
words:
'Marse, Use done got my pension,

Glad to hear that, Uncle Reuben,
but you must do your swearing before

His information Was Accurate.

Mr.. Il believes with Solomon

child, therefore he keeps in a GER

he administers punishment to his of

meanor.
A few days ago he had occasion to
need the strap, but it was missing
from its usual place, and thorough
search of the entire fiat failed to dis
cover it. Then he offered a reward
of five cents to whomsoever of his
olive branches could tell him what had
become of the lost article.
Gimme the nickel" cried four-year-
old Ben. Il knows where it is.'
When the coin was safely slowed
away in his trousers pocket he said,
with much pride:
Il frowed it down the air-shaft."

DAlRYING IN WINTER.
Good Barn, Good Feed and Fresh
Water Necessary to Success.

Calves dropped in September and
they thrive better at the start and can
quickly be converted into veal at a
time when baby meat" is at the high
est price. Another advantage is the
COW will go dry at time of the year
when flies are bad and when the
weather is warmest. To make winter
dairying a success it is necessary that
the cows have comfortable barn and
plenty of good feed and fresh water.
In the winter the farmer or dairyman
can give the cows more attention than
during the summer months, says the
Journal of Agriculture, and in spare
time improvements may be made in
the stables and outhouses. The fall
COW can start into the winter in good
condition and with proper attention
can be kept in shape all winter. Cows
that milk heavily should be fed freely
from the silo. 1t will be found that IL
calves are kept for breeding the win
ter calf will do better Nnan the one
born in the heat of summer when flies
are bad and grass is short. In the
summer raise plenty of feed of all
kinds for winter and when the COWS
finally are placed in winter quarters
make them comfortable and they will
yield milk in the exact proportion In
which they are housed and fed. Calves
may be given skim milk with grain
and hay.

DO COWS NEED PHOSPHATE?
An Experience That Has Raised a
New Query.

During the past summer we have
treated the growing heap of manure
in our barn yard every two weeks to
sprinkling Of ground phosphate rock,
or floats. Some of the ground rock
was scattered on the ground next to
the barnyard fence away from the
manure. We noticed the cows were
eagerly gnawing away at the ground,
and thought first some salt had been
scattered there. Examination proved,
however, that they We're licking up
the phosphate rock, doing so very
greedily.
Now here is a new question: The
cows are fairly wild for the phosphate
rock. Why? Is it that they feel the
need of this form of phosphorus? We
wonder if any of our brother dairymen
have ever discovered the same thing
in their cows? We had before dis.
covered that pigs will eat the ground
rock greedily if they can get it. Phos-
phorus is very essential, to a certain
extent, in the animal economy.
We would like very much to hear

or from individual dairymen if they
have had experience in this line, says
Hoard's Dairyman. The expert
ment made with pigs by the Wiscon-
sin experiment station, in feeding one
lot with a certain allowance of phos-
phate and denying it entirely to an
other lot, convinced us that there is
something valuable for all feeders to
learn in this direction.

be put in.
A small window for ventilation
should be placed at the top of each
gable. The walls of this house may
be constructed double by inserting a
mold between the forms when the con-
crete is poured. Two three-inch walls
with two-inch air space will serve
best. The roof may also be made of
concrete by laying forms for rafters
and reinforcing it with light iron
rods.

Keep Cows OFF Pasture.

Getting down to dry feed Is a trying
time in the cow lot. for the herd can.
not persuade themselves they want It
when they need it. The milk flow is
frequently less at this time than later
on, when the weather is cooler. A
better plan is not to let the milk cows
have the run Of halfpasture at all
but to keep them away from the
taste Of that which does not furnish
them enough in itself.
