It undoubt- edly costs more in winter than it does in Summer,- and this was especially true under the old time system of feed- ing on dry hay and corn-stalks, with sometimes a little grain for variety, which, however, usually went to make fat on the body rather than to increase the milk flow. There was no induce- ment in those days to have cows calve in the fall for the fresh flow came at a season when it was almost im- possible to keep it up. Milk is al- ways dearer in winter than in summer, but under these conditions the slightly increased price did not pay the extra cost, and all the winter made milk had to be sold at a loss. Now, however, a. farmer who has a basement barn and silos to ensila.ge;l his corn fodder can have cows drop their calves in the fall with some con- fidence that the winter product will pay its cost. Corn fodder is so much cheaper than is pasmre on high-priced land that if it can be given in succu- lent form and if cows can be protected from winter’s cold the winter’s milk does not cost any more than that made in summer, where the main depend- ence is on pasture. We believe that good paswre in June will bring more milk from a new milk cow than will any Other feed. {But that is not say)- ing that even then it is the cheapest feed. It must be remembered also than June pasture fills out only a small part of the summer. The grass is salprpy and innutrious in May, and by July or August it eithâ€" er grows hard or woody or dries up so that cows will not; eat so much of it, and what they do eat will not make so much milk. So great is the need of extra feed for cows at this time that corn drilled for fodder is often out be- fore it has even got into blossom, and when it of course has very little nutri- tion. So soon as corn matures suffi- ciently, that will furnish a ration that will materially increase the milk flow in cows at pasture. indeed many of the best farmers put their cows in darkened stables during Augsut heats, partly to protect them from flies. They find that entire reliance on soiling with green corn or with clover makes a larger milk flow, and makes it more cheaply khan does reliance on pas- ture, even when corn is cut and fed daily as an adjunct to it. This, we think, pretty nearly proves that, considering results, the winter feed of cows costs less thian. it does while they are at paature. Most farmers deceive themselves into think- ing that their summer pasture costs noihing, because they eXpend neither. money nor labor to secure its product. The cow is.turned4 in, eating with one mouth, but all the time trampling the tender grass with four feet, soiling the grass, besides more .or less bruising it and injuring its rooms. If the posture is clover, this injury is so serious that stock ought never to be turned into a clover fiend until it is nearly ready to blossom. Until this time clover i_s about the poorest feed'that can be of- fered to a cow. But turn a cow into a field of clover when it is in blossoms, and what will be the result? She will trample through it, biting off the clover heads and soiling or destroying fully twice as much as she eats. If the same clove-r went out and fed green to the cow, she cannot separate the heads from the stems so well and will eat the whole of it. In this way three times as much feed will be got. from an acre of clover as can be so- cured by pasturing. Some of the clov- er will be soiled so that the cow will not touch it through the remainder of the season. V- vv‘n câ€" _ most to the roots, the-re will be a con- siderable portion that has grown hard and woody, so that it has little nutri- tive value. When the clover is eaten off early, the second growth promptly springs up and is both palatable and nutritious. That is what grows up after the first crop has been cut for soiling or for hay. A second, third and even fourth crop of clover may be grown if the soil is rich enough, and each one will be more nutritious than the first. This repeated cutting of clover is far better for the root growrh than pasturing it can be, for in pasturing the constant trampling of the ground hurts the plant and less- ens bOth- its root and top growth. In short, clover will usually produce not only three times as much feed when cut with a scythe or mower as when pastured, but it is nearly or qiute three times as much benefit to the land. When the clover is cut more or less leaves fall upon the soil, and it is the rotting of these that double and treble the growth that the clover would otherwise make. _The cow re- v-v V'Fâ€"vâ€" Every farmer who has pastured clov- er knows that toward fall, while most of the grpund will ‘be eaten down al- ,°11 LA A __ Some man unknown to the writer hereof, has given to the world a say- ing that sticks: ”Talk to your cow as you would a. lady.” There is a world otcommonsense in it. \Tbbro is more; there is good sound religion in it. W‘hht also is it but the language of the Bible applied to animals: “A soft ana- we: turnbth away wrath.” A plea» ant word to a horse in time of trou- ble has prevented many a. disaster where the horserhas learned that pleas- ant words mean a guarantee that danger from puniShment minent. - One 11101111118 0» big, muscular groom said to his employer: "1 can’t exercise that horse any more. He will bolt and run at anything he sees.” The owner, a small man and ill at the Lime, asked that the horse‘be hooked up Stepping mtod‘he carriage he drove a couple of miles and then ask- ed the groom to station along the road such objects as the horse was. afraid of. This was done and the horse was driven by them _quietly, back and forth, with loose lines slapping on his back. The whole secret was in a voice that inspired confidence. The man had been frightened at everything he saw that be supposed the horse would fear. The fear went to the horse like an electric message. Then came a punishing pull of the lines, with jerk- mg and the .whip. Talk to your horse as to your sweetheart. Soil is not an inert, lifeless mass of dirt, essentially unclean and unworthy of thought or attention, but is a live and complex substance in which con- srtant change is taking place, as an immense kitchen in which food is made and prepared for plant roots. All soils are formed .from rocks by the ac- tion of freezing and thawing, rain, running water and glaciers. They are made up chiefly at particles of rock of. varying sizes. The fertility of the soil depends to a considerable degree upon- .the size of its particles. The soil contains decayed and decaying ve- getable matter and this material gives soil its dark color and adds to fertil- ity. It is the homle of countless num- bers of minute creatures, too small to be seen, that are constantly at work causing decay of vegetable matter and making plant food. Animals, includ- ing all the highem forms, depend upon plants fetr life. Plants live upon and in the soil. Without soil all animal life and all higher foorms of plant life would be impossible. The surface of the earth would; be a bald and bar- ren scene of desolation. A Successful Physician's Advice to Begin- ners in Medical Practice. A physician who has reached profes- sional renown and earned a fortune, which enables him to undertake only the kind of cases that interest him, at- tributes much of his success as a prac- titioner to one rule he impresses on all the young men in his own profes- sion in whose welfare he is concerned. Physicians are likely to thin}; that their colleagues who earn large in- comes from their practice owe much of it to their manners, whether they are assumed or natural with them. “ I tell every young doctor in whom I feel any interest,” he said, ” that cheering conversation, a hearty man- ner, awakening a patient’s thoughts to other things than his malady, and oth- er qualities supposed to make him popular are all very well in their way, but useless unless one thing more is added to them. No doctor should ever fail to return to the subject of his pa- tient's illness before he leaves him. That should be the last subject he talks about. Without that addition to the other blandishme-nts, of a sick-room manner he will never get the full bene- fit of them. The sick man, or more likely the sick woman, likes to believe that his or her illness is the most ab- sorbing thing and to realize that the doctor is thinking more of that than of anything else. If this is neglected the patient‘s thoughts are very much inclined to dwell on what seems a slight neglect or indifference, and to a sick man that may assume import- ance. Cheerful talking, about other matters and any other agreeable tricks may be all very well in their way, but it is necessary always to get back to the source 01 the patient’s chief in- tereSL in the end.” A - \ D I j ‘ ‘Cvâ€"v' One other successful physician has always held that the most important phase of his conduct in a sick room was net-yer to appear in a hurry, whatâ€" ever the provocation might be. This was difficult enough at times, but he managed to stick to the rule as much as he could when there was necessity for it, which was mosr frequent in the case of those persons not so sick as they thought they were. The prettiest child story told late- ly is in French. A mother tells her lit- tle girl that because she has been naughty she will not has her for a week. Before two days have gone by the child's lips hunger so for her moth- er's kiss that she begs her not to pun- ish her any more. The mother says: " No, my dear ; I told you that I should not kia you, and I must keep my word. “ But, mamma, rhythm." says the lit- , “ would it be breaking your word it you should kiss me just once to-night, when I'm asleep 3” MANNERS IN THE SICK ROOM. A HANDFUL OF EARTH HUNGRY FOR A KISS. August 17, 1899. HINTS FUR TRAVELLERS SOME PERSONS ARE BORN WITH A FACULTY FOR PACKING. .\ Large Trunk Preferable to Two Smaller ones Hats, Gloves. etc, Should be Reserved for the Upper Tray-l'neonsld- cred ‘l‘rmes't‘onnt. Some fortunate people are born with a gift for packing; they can stow away their best belongings in the neatest little rolls, that fit as though by magic into the most diminutive sections of space, coming out fresh and vigorous at the end of a long journey. as though they had never. been packed at all. Others, again with much thought and a vast expenditure of time and labor, manage to get packed in the largest possible amount of space. and with dire results to their most treasured belongings. One who had strong suspicions that she belonged to the latter class caught one of the gifted sisterhood at a favor- able moment, and demanded, as it were at the point of the bayonet, an account of themethod by which she obtained such satisfactory results. The suggestions thus obtained were crystallized as follows: Have ready as large a trunk as is consistent with any regard for the muscles of those who are to move it about, and for the doorways and stair- cases which may be scraped in its transportation; also for the moderate size of the room one is usually asâ€" signed on travelling tours. Barring these objections, a large trunk is preferable in every way to ‘two smaller ones, besides the double cost of de- livering the latter. The same space is more available in its entirety than when divided, and the larger garments are free from wrinkling BECAUSE OF LESS FOLDING. First remove all dust from the trunk, both outside and inside, and then lay at the bottom of the trunk. and also at the bottom of the tray or trays, a sheet of thin wadding be- tween two pieces of silesia. A layer of boxes and heavy articles should go in first, and fit as tightly as pos- sible. A deft packer declares that thin dresses should come next, and the heavier ones he laid on t0p of them, as this will effectively prevent the lighter stuffs from slipping about. Many, however, will still prefer to put summer silks and organdies on top. Each skirt should be folded length- wise through the middle, behind and before, and then folded crosswise near the top. The waist, with sleeves care- fully spread out. fits in very sets- factorily between the turned-over top and the bottom of the skirt. Then some pieces of underclothing, which should generally be rolled to occupy less room, with stockings, handker- chiefs, etc., for corners and interstices, will make all taut and snug. Other dresses follow in succession, all being carefully treated as to evenness in the folds, and made secure with under- clothing and boots and shoes. INTO THE TRAY. Hats and neck-wear, gloves, etc., are reserved for the upper tray, the whole trunk being packed within an inch of bursting; and. yet it never does so. Nor is a single article ever injured; for, every space being filled, the things are obliged to stay where they are put. This is the secret of the excellent condition they are in when unpacked. “A good rule," continued the oracle, “is never to consider a trunk full be- cause it seems impossible to close the lid. No one who deserves the name of a good packer will be discouraged by any such appearance. By slipping a hand in and about things wonder- ful openings for small articles will appear in an apparently full trunk, and corners are not easily filled to re- pietion.” P _7-,_._! :â€" A‘ .When every inch of ground. is ap- parently occupied, and nothing gives in_'any direction, press everything close from end to end in the bottom of the trunk. and then add another substantial layer. It will not hurt the things in the least; and the tray ought not to be put in before this is done tha brittle ware. the safest way to manage them. is to procure 9. tin box large enough for all that one needs to tube, wrap each one separately inzthin sheet wedding or other soft material. and pack closely enough to prevent their moving. Wrap and tie the box securely. and the liquids will make the trip without damage to themselves or their neighbors. The tin box will last indefinitely, and when off duty it may be kept with the rolls of wedding in the trunk to be in readiness when needed. About halts? Every one knows that a large hat-box attached to the upper tray is indispensable, and in this they should be securely fastened to keep them from knocking against the side; Revival In Europe of a Crime ‘l‘lnl In Past Ages Wu Quite Common. Love and money are the two great incentives to the“ crime of murder by qoisoning. Husband-poisoning still flourishes in some parts of Europe al- most as it did in the days of the Tofana. Eighteen women were only the other week .tried for husband- poisoning in Vienna, and nine of them were found guilty. A year or two ago. in another part of the European con- tinent, over 60! women were proved to have got rid of their liege-lords by the administration of the "liquid re- freshment that Vilikins found in the garden by the side of his dead Dinah. W hen batches of women poisoners are found in one district it proves that a husband-killer has informed her fe- male friends of her success, and given them the recipe and told them where to get it made up. There is general- ly an old woman who, posing as a tortune-teller and manufacturer of love-philtres, supplies the ladies of the neighborhood with the means of being off. with the old love before taking up with the new. It is frquen'tly not un- til after a large number of husbands have died suddenly, that suspicion be- comes aroused. THE EARLIER VICTIMS. are supposed to have died from dis- ease or natural causes, and are revero ently buried by their seemingly dis- consolate spouses. In the seventeenth century the crime of poisoning had spread over Europe like a pestilence. The Ita» lians poisoned openly,hand the hags La Spam and La li‘ofana carried on a gig- antie trade in a liquid which was clear and colorless as water, and which ladies kept {upon their dressing- tables as openly as to-day they keep eau de Cologne or lavender water. When La Tofana, the fame of whose "Aqua Tofana" was known in every European city, was arrested, it was proved that she had been accessory to the death 13y poison of 600 persons. The “Agni" which she had been in the habit of supplying married ladies with was ana’yzed, and was found, accord~ ing to Hahnwmann, the father of homoeopathy, to be composed of ar« senical neutral salts. It was general- ly administered in tea, chocolate or soap. La Tofana was said to be so sympathetic with women’ who wanted to get rid of their husbands that when they couldn’t‘ afford to buy her “How .to be Happy though Married" mixture, she gave it to them. La Tofana was eventually arrested and strangled, but poisoning continua ed to flourish in Italy, in France, and in England. In 1682 over 60 female: were hanged in .France for selling poison to women who it anted to get 1id of relative3/ or friends for various re a. :1ns often, as in the case of Mary Ansell to get a little ready money. The epidemic of poisoning was not stamped out in' France till the begin- ning of the eighteenth century. when in a short period over a hundred persons were burnt alive or hanged for committing this diabolical and COW'ARDLY CRIME. In England of late there have been signs of a fresh outbreak. The infant insurance scandal led to some terrible revelations of the drugging to death of helpless children. and strychnine arsenic began to play a prominent part in domestic tragedies. Then we heard of a number of cases of"unâ€" fortunates” dying suddenly in ter- rible agony. and at last a miscreant named Neil Cream. who poisoned to amuse himself, was run to earth and hanged. There have been dozens of pt'isoning cases since then. Walter Borsford was 5118 pected of having poisoned at least two women before he committed the crime which led to his arrest, and now we are face to face with a new danger in “Poisoning by Post." That is perhaps of all forms of this odious crime the most danger- ous to the community. By clever peo- ple with means it could be done ina way certain to defy detection. To show sympathy for the perpetrators of such a devlish deed is to encourage others .to go and do likewise. Now that the postal system has been called into the service of mur- der as a fine art, we may expect to hear of murder by telephone befcre the close of the century. The telephone might be used in this way. Your. enemy has a weak heart, and a tele- phone in his house. You ring him up and when he says “Yesâ€"what is it?’ you say "Your: wife’s dead.” or some- thing of the kind. A sudden communi- cation like that would kill plenty of people. Indeed? replied the old merchant. That probably explains why he insists upon! sitting’ 'mund all the. time he is awake. Your office boy tells me that he walks in his sleep. ‘ KNEW SOMETHING W'AS 'UP.
