Bad hay or fodder should never be
fed to the COW.
Sunlight is death to disease germs
Flood the stable with sunlight.
Always provide the COW with good
bed to lie on. Be good friend to your
cows.
Water with the chill taken out is
best for the milk cows. Put heater
in the tank.
The reason many cows kick Is be-
cause they have been kicked first
Ever think about that?
The way to produce milk profitably
is to have COWS bred for that pur-
pose. Do not try to make a COW do
two things at the same tine.
Fertile farms are necessary II per
manent agriculture is to be estab
lished and the dairy COW offers the
simplest and best possible means OF
securing these fertile fields.

CHAPTER VIII.
The Anniversary.


About this time Blossy developed q
aside at every opportunity. convenient
or inconvenient, in order to put such
questions as these to him:
Didn't you say It is fully thirty five
years since you and Captain Darby
were on the beach together? Do you
think he has grown much older? Had
he lost his hair then? Did he care
for the opposite sex? Was he very
brave-or would you say more brave
than stubborn and contrary? Isn't 1t
a blessing that never married him ?"
Fearful of the ridicule OF the sisters,
Bloesy was always careful to conduct
these inquiries In whispers, or at least
in undertones with great observance
OF secrecy, sometimes stopping Abe on
the stairs, sometimes reckoning him
to her side when she was busy about
her household tasks on the pretense of
requiring his assistance. On one &C.
casion she even went so far as to In
veigle him into holding a skein Of
wool about his clumsy hands. while
she wound the violet worsted into a
ball, and delicately Inquired IL he be-

he protested that he had never paid
court to any other woman.
Alas. Blossy's frequent tete-a-tetes
with the amused but sometimes impa-

foolish suspicion. When, asked the

beans or pick over prunes? When had
he ever been known to hold wool for
Angy's winding? Not once since
wooing time, l warrant you. What
could this continual hobnobbing and
going of into corners mean, except
Irritation?
Ruby Lee whispered it first into
Aunt Nancy's good ear. Aunt Nancy

| MIDDLINGS FOR YOUNG PIGS
Money Than Wheat 1t VIII Be to
Advantage to Feed Them.

Chemical analyses indicate that
there is nearly rs per cent more fat
and slightly more protein in wheat
middlings than in rye middlings, al
though feeding tests show that wheat
middlings are but very little better
than rye middlings. Feeding tests
have shown that pigs fed on rye mid
dlings are quite likely to go off feed,
which is not so common an occur
renee with wheat middlings. With
prices the same, wheat middlings
would be the better feed, but If rye
middlings can be purchased for some
what less than the other, 1t will be
to the feeders advantage to use them.

He held the parcel close to his
bosom, and went on, still praising
Blossy-this innocent old gentleman,

coat-tail; while Blossy buried her alb

of a wild-rose spray, and the other old
ladies stared from him to her. their
faces growing hard and cold.
When Abraham sat down, aglow
with pride over his oratorical tri-

Then Blossy, her head still bowed as

to have a room papered, is most nat ural one; she thinks she knows what she wants and gets very cross and much irritated at the slightest suggestion from the paperhanger that perhaps something else might look better on the walls than the paper she has chosen. She scorns suggestions and in this way falls into a bad temper over it. The experience of the paperhanger ought to count for some- thing with her, and might save her from disappointment often if she would but be- lieve him disinterested person, and only anxious to please her when he advises against purple wistaria, in a brilliantly sunlit rom, and frowns upon dark blue paper in a hall that is as dark as the cave of the winds Every one is given more credit for knowing his profession than the poor paperhanger. He seems to be only machine with no sense, no taste, no feeling, no anything, but arms and hands. and paste bucket and brush to work wth''
 This was a sensible and a competent paperhanger who was making these re- marks, so let's summarize them for fu- ture reference.
 If the best results are desired, don't make up your mind what you want until you see the papers from which you must choose.
 Don't be in such hurry that you can't let the paperhanger do things as he knows should be done.
 Don't scorn the wisdom of the paper hanger that comes from experience.

Being Few Hints About the Paper
 Hanger and Ho7U to Manage Him
By DOLLY DALRYMPLn
rHE melancholy days are come.

It Is the season when the recalci- . trant paperhanger is abroad in the land. seeking what mischief he can do. Now. when the fall has come and every body is shaking of the lethargy of the good old summer time. it behooves the thrifty housewife to set her house in or der and to have some paper hanging done So the first thing she does is to l make up her mind as to the sort of paper she wants and then she hies herself to the paperhanger, makes known her oe- sires and receives his promises to begin work the first thing next morning and comes home to wait, and perchance to weep with disappointment when the mor- row and the day after come, and with them not the slightest sign of the paper hanger
 So this is suggestion to the housewife about the ways of the paperhanger and the tricks of his behavior.
 In the first place, If you've ever had any dealings with paperhangers. you must know without the telling that they must be handled with gloves
 The paperhanger, worthy the name, is a person of temperament, though he may not look it.
 Leave little leeway to the paper hanger. Don't lay down the laws of the way things must be done, and insist upon his conforming herewith. He won't do it, anyway for generally the demands of the woman who wants room papered are quite beyond the realms of possibility and no paperhanger alive could execute her orders.

1 similar arrangement can be made with the Drama league.
 | At the Sunday meeting of the associa- tion it was decided to send letter of lcongratulation to J. s. Laverty relative
 to the passage of his bill in the legisla- 1 ture.
 | MT. Layerty proposes to establish workshop for the blind, so that the peo- pie so afflicted that cannot find employ
 ment may be instructed and supported through the school or workshop. the
 output of the institution to be an asset to
 the state. The present bill only provides
 industrial training and work for blind
 men, but 1t is hoped that soon the blind
 women of the state too will have such
 place. The Laverty school will in no
 way interfere with the work of the pres ent school for the blind, and it is hoped
 the passage of the Laverty bill will not affect the passage of the increased appro- priation for the Talladeda school, already established.
 The association will soon have compiled
 list of blind persons with definite trades | in this city. so that when work in their i line is possible they may be called upon.
 The blind in this section are trained to do many things that may never be brought to your notice unless you see a | list of their varied vacations. Broom

 and that many other avenues of work
 are carried on may never have occurred to the average people. This Is one of the ways the association desires to assist the blind of this city, and it should ap- peal to every man and woman that is ! blessed with sight to help where and when they can.
