DURHA M LEGAL KRES3 TO TREAT A BADâ€"TEMPERED COW. The following information is publishâ€" ed in reply to questions asked by a correspondent: It is very difficult to manage a bad tempered cow, especialâ€" ly one with a fiery mad very stu)» born disposition. If the animal is not confirmed in the habit through formâ€" jer treatment, that is, harsh, rough ltr»atm»nl on the part of the milker, the following is the only remedy, and during many years experience the writer has never known it to fail The | first thing for the milker to do is to bear in mind that he has an animal with very sensitive nerves and a wonâ€" derfully magnified vision, and heing of | the horned species. is naturally endowâ€" ed with characteristics of great resisâ€" tance. With the cow there is no such: thing as must, unless the animal be taken gently, and led, as it were, inâ€" stead of being drivenâ€"â€"by always reâ€" membering that the cow,. when proâ€" perly treated, will do almost anything, and when harshly and roughly treatâ€" ed cannot be forced, except by great | trouble. By ¢the power of muscular contraction she can retain all the milk‘ in the milk gianas and veins until she: wishes to relax the portion closing the | orifice of rach gland, etc. When it comes to a battle royal, the milker is | forced to submit to the animal, for he | _must be kind and cheerful if he wishes | the animal to give down her milk.! When the cow calves, the calf should be | taken from the cow, the first or sec‘-i ond meal after calving. When handling | the cow she shduld be driven into the bail very gently and Lailed and legâ€"} roped. The foot rope should stand firmly on the ground, and be not more than a foot behind the perpendicwlar of the birder parts of the animal.

A man who sows broadcast has difficu‘ty with the wind and finds it a great task to walk through plowed ground for an entire day, carrying up to as high as a bushel and a bhalf of oats. Some farmers use a drill for seeding oats hbut it is the general opinion that this is not as desirable as a seeder. The common â€"steelâ€"toothed smoothing harrow is best for covering the oats seed. If the ground is quite rough go over it often enough to ‘hreak down the clods and render the surface asmooth. If loose and friable a smallâ€" er amount of work is required but the seed hbed must be harrowed enough to compact it well. ; im ledi Select for seed the variety which daes | may bec best in youtr own community.

Avoid seeding oats on very rich land as the growth is liable to run largely to straw. Too much straw will cause the crop to lodge, make it difficult to harvest, and prevent a complete development of the grain, and as a consequence the yield will be short. Then, too, fields which are rich do not need a change and can he devoted to other crops. PRACTICAL OAT SEEDING,. In selecting the field to seed the oats several points must be considered. If there has been regular rotationi the land has evidently been in corn for sevâ€" eral years. If no regu‘ar rotation has been followed, select the portion of the farm which has lbeen in corn the longâ€" AGRICULTURAL uag it when nqneezhiz it in Glasgow and other Scotch and Engâ€" lish cities have openea art galleries, , libraries, _ readingâ€"rooms. _ museums, ‘ gymnasiums and public natbhs, and are ; maintaining them at tne expense of | the taxpayers. The Peopie‘s Palace is ‘now added to the long list of municipal | institutions which are justified by the | needs of working people, and should be i supported out of the town treasury. |[It has been introduced vbecause the | town councillors of Glasgow take a [ practical view of the social responsibilâ€" ‘ities of local government. Whatever promotes the comfort and elevates the condition of the lessâ€"favâ€" ored elements of society, is cheap at any price. The Glasgow People‘s Palâ€" ace will be largely selfâ€"sustaining, and the taxpayer‘s share of the maintenâ€" ance of it will be slight. Thé common halls of tenementâ€"houses in Glasgow are lighted at public exâ€" pense, like the street lamps. This is because it has been learned that there is less ignorance and crime when the homes of the poor are lighted than when they are left in darkness. in the same way it has been reasoned that the maintenance of a popular recreaâ€" tion palace may be, in the long run, economical, since it tends to provide a clubâ€"house for the poor less harmful and more civilizing than the saloon. While subscriptions from â€" wealthy citizens were received ror tnis project, the town government vated a large sum for it, and, will maintain it as a munâ€" icipal institution. Glasgow is the first municipality to act upon the principle that it is a public duty to provide a recreation palace for working people, where they may see pictures and hear music, and have many of the practical advantages of a poputar clubâ€"house. "l‘ho Good Work That Is BReing Done in some English and scotch Cittes, |_ It was an English novelist who first suggested that the poorest among the | poor in great cities needed palaces as | well as the rich and the great. The idea was carried out in the People‘s | Palace, built in the East End of Lonâ€" \ don at the instance of one of the rich Icity companies, with assistance from | private benefactors. It is at once a training school, and a place of recreaâ€" tion where bands play, pictures are shown and lectures and concerts are given. To the right and left of the entrance hall are rowting and recreationâ€"rooms. The flgor above is a museum, and still higher up is a series of pictureâ€"gallerâ€" ies. The winter garden is designed for ocncerts and other entertainments. A gymnasium and other structures may be built in connection with the palace. Glasgow has taken, up the same idea on a municipal basis. A large Peoâ€" ple‘s Palace has been opened there on the edge of the oldest city park. It is a large building of dark red stone, with a winter garden of iron and glass opening out of it. er, thereby reducing the expense very much. If the labor must be hired it is usually about half the cost. A neat, wellâ€"kept lawn with flowers, flowerâ€" ing shrubs and evergreens, adds wonâ€" derfully to the attractiveness of the premises. to erect grand and expensive hbuildâ€" ings, but they should always aim to make them neat, attractive, comfortâ€" able and convenient. Keeping the buildings well painted, is both a matâ€" ter of neatness and economy. By using some of the ready mixed paints on the market. the farmer can apply it himâ€" self, as good as a professional paintâ€" tive and homelike, with a little care and effort. When traveling over the country one notices scores of farms where the lui‘dings cou!d be very much improved by a littie wellâ€"directed laâ€" bor. Many cases where time and . a willingness would be about the only factors needed. But everything is alâ€" lowed to go by default, because the owner is too indifferent; he lacks the ambition necessary to excel. Aside from the apparent necessity of neatâ€" ness on the farm, it should be practiced and taught to our children, that it may become a fixed principle in their character.
