FAILURES IN DAIRYING. RAISE COWS INSTEAD OF BUYING. Other Interesting Information. Tor the Farmer The Profite of Quality Csst of Production A boat Pastaras Tatrm Notes and Household Hinte.

Whatever may bo written in favor of preventing failure in dairying, the createat mistake made by dairymen, saya the Philadelphia Record, is that of buying their fresh cows instead of raising them on the farm. The dairyman does not wait as patiently for the calf to prow as he does for his crops to mature, and when a choice cow becomes dry she is sent to the shambles, and a new one, fresh, with a calf by her eide, is procured as a substitute. The yearly introduction of cows into the herd from other localities has brought disease algo, although each animal may have been apparently in excellent health when purchased. It is safe to assert that no dairyman has ever been cursed with that scourge abortion in his herd if he has not bought cows from other points. Where the cows have been raised on the farm they have been bred from selected stock, not only for yield of milk and butter, but &so for hardiness and freedom from disease, but when a cow is brought from another point to be added to the herd the only quality required is that ehe is fresh, and recently calved. It is well known that the most expert dairyman will fail in his judgment of the milk and butter qualities of a cow until he has tested her at the pail, and there is always more or less risk of procuring a very undesirable animal. It requires two or three years to proenro a fresh cow by breeding for her on the farm, which prompts the dairyman to buy his cows, bnt that it is more economical to raise them is easily demonstrated, provided the etock is graded up to a higher standard of excellence by the u?e of thoroughbred males. The greatest loss of time is durin: the period of crrowth, but after the heiler comes in ha will, in a short time, not only give a quantity of milk and butter equal to the animal that preceded her, but will reimburse the dairyman for the time lost before she became remunerative. It is not so much a matter of feeding, although feedin? is important, as it is to secure the lagert yield possible, for in dairying an extra quart per day may turn a loss into a profit. When the thrift of the flock is also considered the home-bred cows are always in the majority. As lonsr a? cows are purchased instead of beine bred no improvement is possible. It is a pood average if every cow in a herd will yield seven quirts of milk for every day in the year, and this average is greatly lessened where cows are annually purchased to replace those that dry oft, but the records of some of the noted cows of the pure breeds show that it is impossible to obtain over forty quarts of milk per day, while one cow is said to have produced nearly seven pounds of butter per ctay for one week. These farts demonstrate that if the dairyman will rade up his cows their yield of milk mar lie jrreatly increa-ed, and that many of the failures in dairying are due to the omission of the dairyman to raise his own cows, and to raise them from his choicest anitnala. Ih Coftt of I'rfxliiction. If a choice article can be prown on the fame space required for an inferior one the cost will be but little more. The first item of expense is the use of the ground, and that item must be paid under all circumstances, as the interest and use of the land commands a marketable value. ext, the labor is expensive. While a choice article may call for more labor to a certain extent, yei there are item? in the bill of labor that always present themselves. For instance, it requires as much time to hitch the team, sharpen the tools, travel to and from the field, keep down the weeds and gress. and protect against insects for a poor crop as for a better one. To proportionately lessen this expense the crop must not only be laree but of excellent quality, and the better the quality the lower the cost proportionately. It is sometimes extravagant to grow an inferior crop, as the farmer cannot afford to do so. His land and labor are too valuable to be devoted to crops that do not. pay because they fail to be of the quality in demand. The Prodi of Quality. Over-production of inferior articles is possible at all times, but over-production of choice artic'ps has never yet been accomplished. There are too many grades in the market, which plit up the whole into so many separate articles, any one of which may be lacking while the others are in excess. A slijht difierence in quality is sometimes sufficient to double the profits. It is estimated that the average cot cf growing, picking and ehippine strawberries is "3 cents a quart. If one grower receives 3 J cents per quart and another 4 cents per quart, the one will have twice as much projit as the other, although ) e receives bnt icent more. This is due .,0 the fact that the first cost, of 3 cents per qv:art, must be paid, no matter what the J. rices may be. The grower who aims to iave his products in market so as to grade them to the highest standard can realize a large profit even when others, selling inferior articles, may suffer loss. Feed in J Vor Fat or Lean. Last year it was demonstrated by those who made special experiments to determine the matter of feeding for fat or lean, that a steer or a hog can e made to attain es heavy weight, with a fair proportion of fat and lean, bv feeding for lean as by the former method of feeding to secure weight of fat only. The relative tost of each system of production is nearly the same, but the quality of the carcasses that were evenly interspersed with both fat and lean were far superior to the carcasses that largely abounded in fat. Divide the Paature. To have pasture well stocked with grass the pastnre should be divided into two eections, which allows the grass to grow in one while the cattle are grazing on the other. When grass is kept too close, and constantly trampled by the animals, it is liable to be killed should a drought come. By alternating stock on pastures the grass will grow better and the animals secure more food with less labor. . Farm Notes.

"Watch all young and ten-ler plants for cutworms and potato beetles. Tha former works

best on- cool nights and the latter during the day. The beetle will eat young tomato and egg plants, and destroy them in a short time. Even in summer bedding should be provided in the stalls for all clashes of stock that are confined at nizht, as cleanliness is very important in the summer season. The less manure in the stalls aud i tables the fewer flies ani insects. Green docks are now in demand and sell well. They should not weth over seven pounds per pair, and should not be over ten weeks old. To brinsr the best prices they should be made very fat and sold in the dressed condition. The best early squash is the bush kind, known as the scalloped patty-pan variety. One variety is w hite and another yellow. The Hubbard is the best winter squash. The crook-neck is an excellent variety also. Lookout for the sqnaah-bags and. destroy them. B on the lookout now for the white caterpillars, as they are the parents of the cabbage worm. Kill every one of them, which is not difficult, as but few appear at a time. If all farmers in a neighborhood will uuite to do to a few seasons will greatly reduce them in number. b'weet potatoes will not thrive if the season it very damp, as they delight in a warm, dry soil. Thev should be well worked until the plants cover the hills. The cut-worm will do damage oa cool nights, and an examination of the patch hon 11 be inad every morning, as it may be necessary to replant. As a rule white dorer springs up oa land that han been well dressed with wood ashes, and though it aflords excellent pasturage it is a very persistent weed if it is allowed to grow where it is not wanted. Cutting it off only causes it to grow vigorously. It should be Culled up by hand from amon rows of vegetans. Another nlantin? of peas may be made for a

late crop, l'eas do not thrive in very warm weather, but the seed sown now will germinate uickly. and the plants will nearly overtake those from seed planted earlier. The Champion of England is one of the best varieties to use for a late crop. Though not very prolific it is unexcelled for quality. As soon as melons have ma le growth enough to be worked broadcast around them with wood-ahei. Ashes are excellent for melons, but good, well-rotted manure should also be used liberally as well. Keep the ground well worked until thev hedn to run. then work be fore the runners not among them and pull out the weeds aud grass by hand from among tne plants. As the hens can find a large share of their food at this season, they must be fed very sparingly, or they will not lay. This season grass has been plentiful in some quarter?, and it makes excellent food for poultry, either for those on lh rans;e or that are confined, only that, in the case of fowls conäned in yards, the grass should be chopped into short lengths belore Oeing led to the hen.

How to Prepare Strawberries Most of our strawberries need washing, and we want to eat them covered witii treara and sugar, and with a spoon or a fork, as some extremists in table mauners would have us do. Vet in washing and hulling them much of the piquant davor which distinguishes the strawberries may be lost if they are not carefully handled. Usually as soon as tricy are milled tney Mgin to "bleed," and if then they are put into water much of their delicious juice is lost. The way to avoid thi.i is to wash them before removing the hulls. Io not pour the water on and off them as careless servants will sometimes do, ' learinir sand and Kerrie in the hnttnm nf th I dish together, but drop them eently into a pan of water, stir them around a little to dislodge all particles of grit, etc., then lift them out a few at a time and lay them in a colander to drain. It is an excellent idea to use a square of new cheese-cloth, kept for the sole purpose, to dry the strawberries. This absorbs the moisture much more rapidly and thoroughly than it will drain oß'. Tuke the berries from the colander, a few at a time, and let them lie on the cloth as yon hull them one by one. The cloth must be scalded each time it is used, and dried, bnt not washed with snap and ironed; of course it will show stains, but will be clean. When the strawberries are washed, remove the hulls carefully with a silver knife, pinching them orf may be as welk but it is difficult to avoid bruising ripe berries in doin? so. A City. THE!.

THE STORY OF THE ANGEL

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING BRIGHT. Other Stories For the Young- Folks A Knowing; Youngster X Room Pointer For Adam Freddy to the Rescue Some Knotty Problems. One bright summer morning some children were waiting about the door of the Tillage school-house). They were talking pleasantly together and listening to the song of a merry mocking-bird across the way, when Master LcwU himself came np and said, in a cheery, hearty voice, just a he always did: "Welcome, my children!' "Welcome, master!" cried ther. Then they went into the echool-room and took their seats; and they sat very still while the master read a few verses from the bible, and then prayed that God would bless and teach them all through that day. The thumb-worn books were brought out of the deeks and school began. The lazy boys forgot to sigh and frown and wish for recesa that morning; for Master Lewis talked bo kindly to them and made all their lessons bo clear and eimple by the way in which he taught them that the hours passed by very quickly. When the studies were over the master took from his desk an odd-looking box with pictures of birds painted upon it. He called the boj's to his desk and told them that he had brought each one of them a little present. Then, while they stood around, he drew out of it some white and pink shells and some pretty toys, which he gave to them with kind and pleasant words. 13ut the most lovely thing of all was a little statue.of an angel. She stood with her small white hands folded over her breast, and her face uplifted, and appeared eo fair and so pare that the children razed at her with eyes full of joy. They had never seen anything like it. '(J the dear angel, the beautiful angel !" they cried. The good master smiled and said: "This little angel is too lovely to bo given to any child who is not good and true of heart. Hut the one who brings me to-morrow the brightest thing on earth 6hall have the angel for his own." The children looked at each other, not feeling Mire that they understood the master. Hut he said no more, and they went home. The next day, after the lessons were finished, the children gathered around the master to show him what they had brought. Some had picked up sparkling stones by the roadside; one had polished a small piece of silver until it shone like a mirror; another had brought a watch crystal which his father had given him; and Henry, the merchant's son, had brought a breastpin with a etone set in its centf r that shone like a diamond. "Ah! mine is the greatest!" cried llenrv. "But whre is little Carl T asked Master Lewis, looking around. "We cannot decide until Carl briuir? his offering." At that moment little Carl, the baker's only son, came running into the room. In his hands, held up lovingly against his neck, was a enow-white dove. Some red drops upon its downy breast showed that it had been hurt. "Ö master," cried Carl, "I was looking for something bright when I came upon this poor dove. Some cruel boys were throwing t-toncs at it, and I caught it up quickly and ran here. Oh, I am afraid it will die!" Even as he epoke the dove closed its soft eyes ; it nestled closer to Carl's neck, dropped its little head and died. Carl sank upon his knees beside the master's desk, and from his eyes there fell upon the poor dove' broken wincr two tears, large and bright. The master took the dead bird from his hands and laid it tenderly upon his desk. Then turning to the school-boys, he said : "My children, there is no brighter thing on earth than a tender, pitving tear." "(iive the white angel to little Carl!" cried the boys. "We know now what you meant ; and his offering is better than any of ours." A Knowing Yonngster. Buffalo Express.

Butlalo Commercial. A mother on Delaware-ave. was, on Sundav, giving her child, a boy of seven vears, some bible instructions. She was telling him the story of Adam's fall. Having narrated the tale of the apple and the mischief it did, the mother asked, "Now, don't vou think Adam did very wrong to eat the apple ?" The little fellow thought a moment, and then replied, " hy, would it have been polite to refuse the apnle when the lady offered it to him?" This was read to a little girl of tender years who lives not far from Delaware-ave. She replied that she thought he might have retueo it witnoui oeing impolite, "How?" said mamma; "what would you have said?" "Well, I should have said, 'Thanks; but as I am not feeling very well to-day I think I had better not eat fruit.' " I'reddy to the Itescne. Yankee Blade.

MRS. DE LA HUNT.

A Story Which "Carries Its Own Pathos and Its Own Indignation." N. Y. Evening Post On the 26th of March, lSi, Benjamin Uarriaon. then U. S. aenator from Indiana, delivered in the senate a long speech, arraigning Grover Cleveland for breach of his pled?ei in the matter of civil service reform. One of the chief counts in this indictment was what Gen. Harrison called "the story of Mrs. De la Hunt," his telling of which occupies the greater part of one of the large papes of the Congressional Record, yol. xvii., part 3, pae 2, Ti4. "I hare another case," Gen. Harrison bejran; "I do not know how it may seem to the senate, bnt to me it is infinitely full of pathos and indignation." He proceeded to describe the military career of Maj. De la Hunt of the Twenty-sixth Indiana volunteers, who was brought down by a wound entirely through the body, at Prairie Grove, Ark., and, after recovering from this desperate wound, rejoined his command and received a ballet through his arm. "Disabled by these two wounds received in his country's service, he was compelled to leave the army and return to Perry county, Indiana. But hiä days were few. ilia vital forces had been to tapped by the wounds which he had received that it was not long until a sorrowing widow and one only child followed the remains of as brave a soldier as ever went oat from Indiana to his last resting-place in the RTv." Maj. De la Hunt left hie widow with small means and she entered upon the work of maintaining herself and her boy. Her old father was postmaster at Cannelton, and she became his deputy, in which capacity (Jen. Harrison testified that she was "most eflicient." Shortly before the expiration of President Arthur's term, said Gen. Harrison, "Isabelle De la Hunt, the widow, was appointed, on my request, by Gen. Hatton, then postmaster-general, to this little office. If there was in all this country," continued Gen. Harrison, "one person who by reason of her sex, who by reason of her widowhood, who by reason of the sacrifice she had made in giving the arm on which she leaned to her country's service, was entitled to have her reputation guarded jealously and by all men who represented the government, it was Isabella He la Hunt." Nevertheless, the Cleveland administration removed Mrs. De la Hunt on the false charge of "offensive partisanship" and appointed a democratic "worker" in her place. The Cleveland administration having gone out, and Gen. Harrison having become president, Mrs. De la Hunt applied for restoration to her old position as postmaster. There was no doubt as to her fitness. The present president publicly testified three vears ago to the fact that she had been "most efficient. There was no doubt m to her title to the oüice. The present president on th same occasion bore witness to his belief that "if there was in all this country one person who by reason of her sex, who by reason of her widowhood, who by reason of the sacrifice she had made in jriving the arm on which she leaned to her country's service, was entitled to be kept in office" much more to be restored to nn office of which she had been defrauded "it was Ieabclle De la Hunt," There was no doubt as to the local sentiment demanding the restoration of this roost efficient and worthy person to her old office. She presented a petition more numerously signed than that of any other applicant, and representing an overwhelming majority of the patrons of the offieo. Of conrse, Mrs. De la Hunt was reappointed to her old position as soon as ber old champion, Benjamin Harrison, became president? On the contrary, the office has been given to John Zimmerman, who has been chairman of the republican county committee, and whose only claim to the place is party service. On the 2th of March, 186, lieniamin Harrison told the story of Mrs. De la if ant down to that date. The Evening I'ott to-day adds another chapter, bringing the story down to the present time. Itenjamiu Harrison made certain comment upon the story three years ayo. In preference to any comments of its own today, the Kreninq I'ost simply reprints the comments of Benjamin Harrison: "Now, Mr. President, perhaps my distinguished friend from Kansas, whose command of language so far surpasses my own, miglit characterize this transaction, perhaps he could touch it up a little; but to me that work is impossible. The story of Mrs. De la Hunt carries its own pathos and its own indignation." Golden Chimes. There's a valley of delights Where the sun of pleasure beams, And the poets send their nights 'Mid enchantment's mystic dreams; On th "-.Vpie peaks of fame Stands a palace fr.Ir to seo. Gemmed with many a dpathle name, 'Twined in wrestlis of fantasy. When the twilight shadows fall Like a benediction sweet, Gentiy hovering over all, Then the thoughts of genit. meet; Where the birds of fancy eing 'Mid the houghs of ecstasy, F.orne on inspiration's wing. Golden chimes of imagery. Softly pealing on the air, With a strange exo.ui.Mte powar, Wafting, wafting everywhere. Like the fragrance of a flower. Cold the world and drear may he Life, an empty promise fled. Yet they hold no grief for me While around my poet head Blooming laurels richly twine, And the splendor of their sheen Kindles with a ray divine All that blossom-blushing scene; There's an altar in my heait Bright with many a rainbow hoe. Treasures trove that ne'er may part From a thrine so pure and true. And across the silvery seas Of love's wild'rinpr witchery, Wafted by enchantment's breeze, Golden chimes of imagery Throb aDd thrill wild waves ef bliss, Flashing meteors of the soul. Passion's fire-distilling kim. Music's melting thunder roll. Weaving webs of wondrous thought. Lihtnlne shafts from heaven above, Dreams of grandeur richly wrought. War's defiance, strains of Iotb, Mingling every raphsody, In that valley of delight, Golden chimes of imagery Glorify the poet's night. Chicago, May, 1S9. IAlice Mat Qcikk. Hill m lead Duck. Evansville Courier. We have yet to see a single democratio paper that has not denounced in the most vigorous language Gov. Hill's strange conduct in vetoing the Saxton law. If there ever was a prospect of a presidential nomination for him, and the Courier has never for a moment thought there was it vanished entirely with this great blunder. It simply shows that Gov.

Republican domination in the United States is sectional and artificial. Privilege is its charter. Nullification of the popular will is the only hope of republican success.

aw,v. s. ELKHART, the Threshing Machines then in use were almost wholly' of the class known as the " Endless Apron" style. Then it was that Nichols & Shepard, of Battle Creek, Mich., invented and began to develop an entirely new and novel style of Grain Thresher and Separator, vh ich they very appropriately named the "Vibrator." It was a revolution in Threshing Machines, and from a small beginning of five machines in 1S5S they soon reached a product of 1,000 yearly. Their Vibrator drove the " Endless Apron" machine out of market, and all other makers copied it as closely as they dared. Todav all Threshing Machines of any reputation or merit use the principles of the old Vibrator. Nichols & Shepard have continued in the business without change of name, location, or management; and during the past three years have brought out and developed another new Threshing Machine for grain and seeds, as superior to all existing machines as their former was to the 'Endless Apron.' They name this new and improved Thresher and predict as great a revolution in the trade, and as complete success over all rivals as they had thirty-one years ago. If you are interested as a Farmer cr Thresherman, write f-r particulars, vl.ich they send free. AdJrcss NICHOLS & SHEPARD. BATTLE CREEK, MICH.
