If there is one thing more than and 'other that enters this problem it is Work, study, think! Success depends on these. On this royal road thorough tillage is a prime factor, but my success has been made at dairying, Good cows and liberal feed are almost always followed by pleasant. results .When I started in the business, began studying the. feeding and also fertilitg .and value of the different kinds oi grain. I soon learned that for eve-r3, ton of corn fed out I got $6 worth '01 fertility to put to work in ‘my soifl shorts double and cotton-seed me :rnore than three times as much. My butter paid all grain bills and alsd grocery bills. I knew I must be on the 'road‘ to success, as the fertilizing pow- «cr, although out of sight, was in the soil, to show itself in crops in dut season. I can now manure 3 acres oi «turn where a few years ago could bare- ly dress one. I use some phosphate "300 lbs or so per acre. The corn mostly goes into the silo, as my- experience hat taught me it is worth more that way; .In connection with the dairy I keep swim to take the milk and always feed some grain with it, as it pays. I can get a small profit on pork and pigs at the lowest price they have sold for, disc bedding freely to take up the liqud and for the comfort oi the animals. I prefer straw for the fiertility in it.â€"J, .tW. Sanders. in Farm and Home. ~â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" Trout Cows T.ike Horses, 'Aim to keep the cows perfectly clean‘. "Until you have tried it you don’t know what an‘economical and paying policy it is. Clean, dry bedding for. the milch cattle goes. a long ways, but it does not do all. Cows should be daily curried :the same as horses, which not only re- moves all stable compost and dirt from their flanks a. d leg ', but keeps the skin stimulated and conduces to the a imal’s health. And, as regards neat is and maxillary to milk purity, the procedure goes without saying. Nothing looks so “penny wise and pound foolish” as to see a dairyman brush off “‘e cow's udder preparatory to milking, 'hile her flanks are covered with filth. Once get the cows’ bodies clean, and it is a coma paratively easy matter to keep them so. With a daily hange of bedding and a. daily currylng the feat is_accomp~ fishedâ€"Geo. I‘. Nowell. 3...- “J '1‘} wng Feed Away. There are many ways of reducing the cost of milk, but the one that should re- ceive the first consideration is the cow. Is she a good one? If she is not, then the problem of how to make cheaper milk is a hard one to solve. I believe 1that one firstâ€"class cow in a herd of scrubs would, if the owner were an ob- serving man, soon be the means of les- rcning the cost of the milk in“‘.hat dairy by replacing the scrubs with good cows. When an observing man notices the dif. ‘l‘crcnce in yield between a good cow and a poor one it sets him to thinking, and he ".nds out that it does not pay 1.0 keep poor cows. When one good cow 'will yield as much as three poor ones it does not require much intelligence to ste‘ihat the extra food taken to support -ll‘.-!‘C‘(% cows in stead of one is just that gmuch feed thrown awayâ€"V.

The wood is especi- .uily useful for gunâ€"stocks and for 1:21: py articles of furniture, and is found profitable from trees of ten years of .2 .';'.-:: and upward.

Napoleon’s Housekeeping- Book. “The discredit thut the tiara of Salts» pharnes has brought on historical relics. spoiled the sale of the account-book oi l’errou, ‘muitre d’hotcl’ of Napoleon .at St. Helena. This very suggestwe and, I believe, authentic ‘volume was put up to auction at 400 fi'., and with difficulty worked1 up to 480 fr.,” writes a Paris correspondent. “Napoleon went over it once a week,’ signed it, and made any observations that occurred to [him on the margin. His lnind, always illegible, became a fearful scrirwl at Longwood. Montliolon, his treasurer, however, rewrote the observations in a legible hand, for Pcrron’s direction. Hr- olten dined on kid or lamIb or mut‘ton in the early days of his captivity. IIe rc- jected fish on his doctor’s advice. Frown the middle of 1820 he lived almost en- tirely on chicken and fruits, and occu- sionally had veal broth, with rice. The price of everything seems exorbitant. . . . Perron’s accounts lbegan in J anu. ary, 1819, and ended on May 2, 1821. He lived 'to an old age. After his death all his personal property was sold by his grandchildren. A M. Dublin, a well- known collector, who began 'by collecting letters of Queen Victoria. to Louis Phil. ippe, which an 1848 mob cast. out of the windows of the Twilerics, bought the Per- ron account-book. It enables those who have a little imagination to pioturc faithfully ‘Napolcon at home, at St. Hel- ena.’ . “This account-book confirms mo in an‘ impression I have long “had as to the jerkiness of Napoleon’s mind. The more I learn of that mind We more wanting in balance it seems to me.- It runs in. u. childish way from subject 'to subject, shows a childish impatience oi con-tradic: tion, and of all that stands in tllc way of his desires. One sees Llthis disposition in slave-owners and in persons who have, without ion-'r preparation, won‘ great situations. .hcir capriccs become their masters. Napoleon had for his agents in ministering to his bellicsts the most brainy people in Europe, and in his time the least groovy and most spontaneous. The handwriting throughout his life may be taken as a sincere exponent of his de- fects of character and intellect. It looks like a drunkarrl’s scruw]. Could his fore- bears have been docp drinkers of heady wines? Perhaps. But, whether or not, the handwriting is jerky, unconnected, utterly deficient in composure and men- tal dignity. I may even add that it be- trays utter selfishness. The writer is en- tirely led 'by impulse and never studies the convenience of anyone else. Had he been considerate, he would htve tried to write legi‘bly, and his eil'orts would have t . been attended with some success.” ~_,____.~4_a. ____.

A Woodsman, said the New York “Sun,” was one day chopping a tree over- hanging a. stream, and, pausing in his work to flirt with a. passing millcmaid, he dropped his axe into the river. The woodsman sat down comfortably and proceeded to bemoan his fate. Mer- cury, hearing his Lamentations, appeared before him, and upon being informed of the loss of the axe, he at, once dived into the waiter and brought up a golden lratchet. “Is that yours?” asked Mercury. “No,” replied the man. Mercury thereupon plunged lilitO‘ the water for a second time and brought up a. silver hatchet. Again the man denied Shut the axe was his. » For the third time Mercury disap- farecl under the water, and R last sought up the very axe that the man and lost, which the wooclsnran eager-1y :lau'mcd as 'his. The god, being pleased with the man’s l'oncsty, presented him with the gold ind silver lratcheis also.
