THE DAIRY.
—Success in butter-making depends
upon skill acquired only by actual ex
perience.
—lt is said that “clover hay is better
for milch cows than timothy, it gives
rise to more milk and better butter.”
—A little more sunlight in the stables
will be beneficial for the stock. They
always seek a little sun, even in the
hottest weather.
—A writer in the Country Gentleman
makes a sensible suggestion in regard
to testing cows for the amount of butter
they will yield. He says that what
farmers want is a cow that will give a
large yield not on extra feeding and
stuffing but simply on a grass diet, the
natural food of cows in the summer
time.
—( olonel F. D. Curtis says that the
fancy dairymen, by allowing their
cream to sour too much before churn
ing, have made their product simply
"imitation oleomargarine.” “They
have,” he says, “invited the public
palate-especially in the cities -with
their rich made buttermilk-flavored
butter, and created a market for oleo
margarine compounds, and now they
are running a neck-and neck race with
the oleomargarine manufacturers and
calling upon the Government to protect
them from the very thing that they
have created.
—The general farmer has come to
this conclusion, that all the improve
ment there is in the dairy cow is in the
extra feeding, and they have got it
from such tests as reported, and that is
not what they want. They want a cow
to produce from pasture, and if they
can not see any improvement on the
native cow of twenty years ago from
the same care and feed, then they will
give the breeder no encouragement,
and at the same time will laugh at him
and tell him they want none of his
stall fed animals. Not until it can bo
shown that there are cows which will
produce more butter of better quality
on grass alone, will the general farmei
believe there is any improvement bj
investing in such cows. -Elgin Advo
cate.
A Sermon Jn n Nutshell.
A practical and successful dairyman
says: “We can make winter milk
worth to the patron $1.40 per hundred
pounds easier than we can now make it
worth sixty-five cents,and the farmer has
more, and less valuable time, to make
it in than he has now.” Here is a
sermon in five lines that should put
every dairyman to thinking about going
into winter dairying. How much easier
you could do your farm work, and how
much more food you could raise for the
cows if they went farrow all summer,
and began the heavy work of the dairy
in the fall. If you have all the neces
sary nnd inexpensive arrangements at
the barn that you should have it is
but little more trouble to feed cows
in winter than to carry them
to and bring them back from pasture
In summer, and when you consider the
greater value of the time in summer
when field work is to be performed,
the two will just about equalize them
selves. To be sure winter dairying re
quires some more forethought than
summer dairying. The cows must be
fed regularly three times a day though
the mid-day feed be only hay. Ample
provision must be made for ground
feed, and it is always a good thing to
have a supply of roots on hand, though,
of course, these are not absolutely in
dispensable. The barn must be warm,
too, if the cows are expected to give
milk. They may make out to shiver
through a bitter winter when farrow
with no great injury except in the way
of waste of food, but this will never do
if milk is to be made. Then the stable
if close and warm will be comfortable
for the man to milk and feed in. Ono
comfort brings another, ami proper ar
rangement will make things comforta
ble all around.— American Dairymen.
When Should a Cow Go Dry I
There is such a thing' as burning a
candle at both ends. One may easily
do this in the dairy, nnd while the
“good, easy man” thinks he is making
a good deni of light at the same cost,
suddenly his candle may go out. This
kind of thing may go on when one
milks the cows up to the time of calving
or near it, and even encourages it by
feeding it for that end. But then it
may not. And it is the dairyman's busi
ness to know all about it and take any
general rule for his guide. There is
no rule without a number of exceptions,
and these are as numerous as times,
places and circumstances; and as cir
cumstances alter cases so the reply to
the questions we have put above de
pends upon circumstances. There are
cows that will not go dry, but will milk
from calf to calf. Is the dairyman to
worry himself and the cow in useless
defiance of her natural habit? By
no means. He must suit his <a<e
to the circumstances, and reduce
the milk yield as much as
possible by milking once a
day perhaps, and compensate the cow
for her extra burden by giving her
more feed upto a safe limit. What this
limit may be depends wholly upon the
ability of the cow to healthfully digest
and dispose of the food. Amt no one
but the intelligent owner can say what
this limit may be, for it will vary as
cows vary, and no two cows are pre
cisely alike. As long as the cow is in
thriving condition, not losing flesh nor
making fat, the limit is not reached.
But as a rule, to be contracted and
expanded judiciously and safely, it
might be said that a cow should be
dried off six weeks before she is due to
calve. That up to that time she should
be liberally fed in the usual manner;
that henceforth her food should be cur
tailed or even changed to dry hay; and
M her condition is reduced somewhat,
so much the better. It will make it
safer for her and the calf. The milk
ing may be done once a day, or not
wholly completed, leaving a little in
the uader. We have even taken a little
milk several times a day from a cow in
this condition, with the effect of rapidly
drying the udder. But it is a danger
ous thing and one to be avoided, to
leave any considerable quantity of milk
in a cow’s udder at this time. The

The Best Incubator.
Considerable interest has been excited
in the last two or three years on the
subject of incubators, ami those inter
ested have been feeling around in the
dark, as it were, in trying to strike
some method by which chickens could
be hatched surely and without trouble.
This is somew hat like the “royal road
to wealth.” The royal road to wealth
has not been as vet found without en
countering some trouble on the road.
The same is true in regard to hatching
chickens. Even if the most perfect in
cubator was procured, it will be found
necessary to attend to it every day, and
what with turning of eggs and renew
ing of oil and keeping an even temper
ature, the incubators have not made as
many friends as we at first thought
they would.
'1 he best incubator we ever found was
the hen herself. She has been bred to
the business, and after she once makes
up her mind to go at it she has no other
business on hati 1. The difficulty gen
erally experienced is that two hens or
more wish to g > into the same business
on the same spot, and in their struggle
for the mastery the stock is generally
ruined. It is, to say the least, annoy
ing, after two hens have squandered
three weeks to see them bring off one
chicken between them. The question
then arises how can you prevent more
than one hen sitting on a nest at a
time? We remember fifteen years ago
or so of seeing a patent nest with a dotft
in front like a triangle, which, when
the hen went in onto the nest, closed
after her, preventing others coming in.
and still leaving her free to go out; but
this brilliant device has not met with
the success that the patentee thought it
would when it was first hatched out.
People still go on in the old way. let
ting their hens sit where they have a
mind to. Some, years ago we practiced
this method ourselves, with the re-ult of
only about a half dozen chi kens being
hatched in the entire season, although
there were more hens that engaged in
doing their best at it.— Breeders' Jour
nal.
Better Hay and Pastures.
Any one passing t hrough agricultural
i districts, say in June, when the herbage
i has nearly reached its full growth, must
i notice how much land is only half or
i quarter utilized by allowing the un
checked growth of"all sorts of weeds.
A large portion of this land is pasturage,
i and the way the poor cattle have to
i seek out the little grass from among
the overwhelming weeds is a source oi
i actual sadness. These pasture fields,
too, are allowed to go on producing
i noxious weeds for a series of years
without an effort being made to get rid
of them by the surest mode known to
■ the observant farmer—frequent eultiva
I tion. Then, again, we see the same
proportion of weeds it nymy fields
from which the cattle hay is to be cut,
! and this is done year after year just as
1 though cows and other cattle would eat
the weeds any more readily dry than
?reen. It is as apparent as* the sun at
noonday that to whatever extent weeds
are allowed to grow.Juat to that extent
is the land wasted—in fact, worse than
wasted. Now, that this can be avoided
jis clear; and that it can be profitably
avoided, in most cases, scarcely admits
of a doubt. And what is true of the
pasture fields is the same where the
herbage is left t<F become hay. The
good, clean field is the exception. Not
only the ox-eve daisy, but sorrel and
plantain, and asters of various kinds,
which cattle care no more for when dry
than when green, constitute the bulk of
what is to be hay; and it is tolerably
good stufl which" has but one-fourth of

Swallowed Her Tonng.
It is not generally believed, even
among people who live in neighbor
hoods where snakes are common, that
these reptiles swallow their young, as in
time of danger, or when they move from
one locality to another. While it is a well- ;
authenticated fact that many species
of snakes do this, instances are rare
where they have been seen in the act.
Such a sight was witnessed a few days
since. Charles Wilson, William Gould
and Harry Lawrence, three boys, were
blackberrying near Deckertown. They
discovered a garter-snake in the bushes,
which at once began to glide to and fro,
uttering a peculiar hissing sound. Sud
denly the snake stopped and lay fl a
upon the ground, with its head raised a
little, and the mouth wide open. In
stantly diminutive snakes began to ap
pear from all directions, and one after
another darted in at the open mouth of
the old snake and disappeared. A
steady stream of young reptiles poured
itself into their mother’s throat for
more than a minute. When the last
one had entered the mother snake was
swollen to more than twice her natural
size, and she immediately started to
leave the spot. One of the boys killed
her. There were 105 of the young
snakes, and all were killed. The
mother was but two and a half feet
long, ami the young ones were of an
average length of three inches, aggre
gating a length of twenty-six feet stored
away in the narrow compass of the old
snake’s body.— Trenton (N. J.) Gazette.
Wolves in France.
According to the returns prepared by
the French Ministry of Agriculture, the
law, which has been passed within the
past two years with regard to the de
struction of wolves has had the effect of
increasing the vigilance of the officials
appointed for that purpose, as well as
for private individuals. A sum of £8 is
now paid for every wolf which has at
tacked a human being, and nine were
killed last year in three of the cen
tral departments of France. A reward
of £6 is given for every she wolf with
young, and 32 of them were killed last
year. A sum of £4 is given for every
other wolf killed, and 774 were killed,
this being exclusive of 493 cubs, for
each of which a reward of 325. is given.
Altogether 1,308 head were destroyed
last year at a cost to the Government
of £4,150 in fees alone. The greatest
number of wolves were killed in the
northern and eastern departments bord
ering upon Belgium and Germany.—

She Loved Hay.
“Oh! thah delicious hay. It just smells
too sw«w?t for anything. I really envy
the fife of a farmer, he has it handy all
the time, where he can go and smell it
whenever he wants to. Indeed, I would
just love to live in a hay house.”
Thus raved a sentimental Allegheny
lady as she passed the hay wagons
in the Diamond. A countryman with
hayseed on his hat, straggling st raws on
his coat, who stopped munching a light
cake to listen to her, remarked with an
air of seriousness, after she had passed
on:
"I’ll bet four dollars if she had to pull
hay back into a mow next the roof on
a hot day, when there was a rain in
sight, she’d never want to smell hay
again, let alone living in a hay
house. But these town people are aw
ful green, and, what makes it worse,
they don’t know it. They say we have
hayseed in our heads. Well, if we have,
there is a little sense mixed with ’em.”

A TOUCHING INCIDENT.
A Young Girl’s Dementia—How it was
Occasioned —Some New and Start
ling Truths.
The St. Louis express, on the New York
Central Road, was crowded one evening ;
recently, when at one of the way stations,
an elderly gentleman, accompanied by a
young lady, entered the cars and finally
secured a seat. As the conductor ap
proached the pair, the young lady arose,
and in a pleading voice said:
“Please, sir, don’t let him carry me to
the asylum. lam not crazy; lam a little
tired, but not mad. Oh 1 no, indeed. Won’t
you please have papa take me back home?”
The conductor, accustomed though he
was to all phases of humanity, looked with
astonishment at the pair as did the
ether passengers in their vicinity. A few
words from the father, however, sufficed,
and the conductor passed on while the
young lady turned her face to the window.
The writer chanced to be seated just be
hind the old gentleman and could not fore
go the desire to speak to him. With a sad
face and a trembling voice the father said:
“My daughter has been attending the
seminary in a distant town and was suc
ceeding remarkably. Her natural quali
ties, together with a great ambition, placed
her in the front ranks of the school, but
she studied too closely, was not careful of
her health, and her poor brain has been
turned. I am taking her to a private
asylum where we hope she will soon be
better.”
At the next station the old man and his
daughter left the cars, but the incident, so
suggestive of Shakespeare’s Ophelia,
awakened strange thoughts in the mind of
the writer. It is an absolute fact that
while the population of America increased
thirty per cent, during thedecade between
1870 and 1880 the insanity Increase was
over one hundred and thirty-five per cent.
for the same period. Travelers by rail,
by boat, or in carriages in any part of the
land see large and elaborate buildings, and
inquire what they are?
Insane asylums 1
Who builds them?
Each State; every county; hundreds oi
private individuals, and In all cases theii
capacity is taxed to the utmost.
Why?
Because men, in business and the pro
fessions, women, at home or in society,
and children at school overtax their men
tal and nervous forces by work, worry
and care. This brings about nervous dis
orders, indigestion and eventually mania.
It is not always trouble with the head
that causes insanity. It far oftener arises
from evils in other parts of the body. The
nervous system determines the status of
the brain. Any one who has periodic
headaches; occasional dizziness; a dim
ness of vision; a ringing in the ears; a
feverish head; frequent nausea or a sink
ing at the pit of the stomach, should take
warning at once. The stomach and head
are in direct sympathy, and if one be im
paired the other can never be in order.
Acute dyspepsia causes more insane sui
cides than any other known agency, and
tIA man, women or child whose stomach
is deranged is not and can not be safe
from the coming on at any moment of
mania in some one of its many terrible
forms.
'[’he value of moderation and the imper
ative necessity of care in keeping the
stomach right must therefore be clear to
all. The least appearance of indigestion,
or mal-assiniilation of food should be
watched as carefully as the first approach
of an invading army. Many means have
been advocated for meeting such attacks,
but all have heretofore been more or
less defective. There can be little doubt,
however, that for the purpose of regulat
ing the stomach, toning it up to proper
action, keeping its nerves in a normal con
dition and purifying the blood, Warner’s
Tippecanoe The Best, excels all ancient or
recent discoveries. It is absolutely pure
and vegetable; it is certain to add vigor to
adults, while it can not by any possibili
ty injure even a child. The fact that it
was used in the days of the famous Harri
son family ri proof positive of its merit
as it has so thoroughly withstood the test
of time. As a tonic and revivifier it is
simplyZwonderful. It has relieved the ag
ony of the stomach in thousands of cases;
soothed the tired nerves; produced peace
ful sleep and averted the coming on of a
mania more to be dreaded than death it
self.

After a hundred years, if the Seven
Sleepers awake on an English Sunday
morning, they would certainly at once
know what day it was. There is noth
ing else like it for the feeling of intense
repose. No other stillness can compare
with the deep calm of a Sunday’ morn
ing such as this. No leaf stirs; there is
no cloud moving about in the hot hazy
blue; the clatter of the iron road has
ceased; the very birds are still. Swal
lows alone are ever on the wing, and
the silence is so profound that the beat
of their wings can be heard as they dart
by in rapid course. The busy cornfields
lie empty in a golden rest. Only’ here
and there, where the harvest is not yet
gathered in, the sheaves, like praying
hands, stand together on the field. In
the green pastures the grazing cattle
seem to tread with hushed and silent
step. And there is a sound of church
bells on the air, coming clear yet faint
across the level country. — The Interior.

That Dr. DAVID KENNEDY’S FAVORITB

from Tarrytown. The writer is none other than Mr

that community: “

It's the best thing I ever heard of for any diaordernr

Dr. KENNEDY’S FAVORITE REMEDY Is not
confined in its sphere of usefulness to one State or Io
cality, but is hailed as a boon by hundreds in every

Specific is a vegetable remedy, and restores the system
to health and builds up tho waste made by these
poisons.
• 'I was suffering with Blood Poison and treated sev
eral months with Mercury and Potash, only to make
me worse. The Potash took away my appetite and
gave me dyspepsia, and both gave me rheumatism. I
then took Sarsaparillas, etc. All these Sarsaparilla
mixtures have Potash tn them. This made me still
worse, as it drove the poison farther into my system.
A friend insisted I should take Swift's Specific, and it
cured me of the Blood Polson, drove the Mercury and
Potash out ofmysystem. and to-day I am as well as I
ever was.” GEO. O. WELLMAN. Jr..
