bluejackets possess an especial and al
most unique knack for instructing
dumb animals The secret OF their
success, however, lies in the devotion
of much time to the task, combined
with the circumstances that the tars

reinforced by plentiful supplies Of

One of Cloverport's mothers tells the
way that her daughters learned to
sew. Every time she would drop her
work the girls would pick it up and
sew on it. Sometimes their stitches
would be right, sometimes wrong. If
they were the latter the mother took
them out or worked over them without
saying anything. In this way her
daughters were never discouraged, anc

Down at the shops recently they have
had their annual visitor. He is little
man and his head is covered with hair
as white as snow. Over his right Shout
der is strapped brown, rusty satchel
that hangs down arms length and
when he walks swings to and fro like
the pendulum of clock. Every year
he spends a week in one of the old box
cars back of the shops. Early in the
morning he can be seen walking up the
railroad towards town, smoking pipe,
and back he comes at night about nine
O'Clock. Mr.. Frank Norman, of the
telegraph Office down there, kept inquir-
ing until he learned the strangers
name and one of the older men at the
shops said; "That old friend is clock
tinker and has been coming here for
years. Three winters ago he worked
all day ON my clock, fixed it and charged
only twenty five cents. We gave him
dinner and supper, then felt that the
pay was not enough, but he wouldn't
take another cent. The clock still runs
all right. His name is RUSSELL" When
Mr.. Norman saw him the next morn
ing he spoke out graciously; GOOD
morning, Mr.. Russeln' He looked back
at Mr.. Norman three. times but never
said a word and that was the last seer
of the clock tinker.

WINTER DAIRYING.

BY ]. H. Frandson, Professor OF Dairy
Husbardry.
There are many advantages in hav-
ing cows come fresh in the winter,
when all dairy products sell at a high
price Here in Nebraska the price Of
butter is fully 80 per cent higher in
the winter than in the summer.
when the cows calve in the spring
they generally milk we'll until the pas
lures dry up" when the flow of milk
quickly falls off, so that by the time
stable feeds begin the COWS are al
most dried up" Now. il the COWS
come fresh in the fall they produce a
good Sow Of milk during the winter
months. and in the spring when they
are turned on grass this acts as a
second freshening. and thus lengthens
the period OF milk production. An
other distinct advantage in winter
dairying is that during this season the
farmer is not so busy with other
work, consequently he can give more
time 20 the care of the COWS, the milk
and the cream than is possible during
the busy season OF the year. When
winter dairying becomes more general.
~ practiced the subject OF winter
feeds will he given more attention.
OF these, silage is one OF the most
important, since one acre OF good
silage material will yield as much feed
SIS three acres OF pasture.
