the empty Desolate Cottage of the
Valley Shut‘ln.
Many years ago, when the great
beeches where the echo lingers were
saplings and only the rocks and trees
were old, John and Joanna lived with
their parents in neighboring cottages
of the Valley Shut-In. In the winter
they went tramping over the hills to
so tool together, John helping Joanna
over icy paths and through the sl1ift~
lug drifts, and Joanna assisting John
r:
over harder paths in the spelling book,,
whispering words to him as they sat
together on the lower form. And
John often had a juicy apple for Jo-
anna, or she a handful of nuts for
him. in summer days they led :1
sweet. wild life together, fishing for
the little minnows in the river, reach-
ing for the cowslips or the flags that
grew in the swamp. and when they
older grew, they met in the gleaming
and talked of many things. And then
one night when the muted birds sang
softly in the thicket, when a thrush
poured forth a flood of melody in the
forest and a whip—poor-will mocked
insistently by the riverside, John and
Joanna watched the mating birds and
told to one another the old. old story.
No painting tells us now of Joanna-’5

John came do'Wn the. hill, through the
path that was shaded by trees, nnd the
light of a home gleamed across the val-
ley and made its loneliness flee away.
John had chopped the trees that
made the beams, had built the huge
brick chimney. had placed the glass in
the little windows, and dragged from
the ledges stone for the doorway.
Joanna had filled the shelves of the
cupboard with linen and wool and the
beds with feathers gathered in many

growing woodbine across the little
porch. John had fashioned many a
piece of homely furniture, a cherry
table, a chair of gnarled tree trunks.

and shingle scoops for dipping meal
from the bin and wooden spoons for
Joanna’s use. And whenithcy began

built a nest in the doorway where the
woodbine grew.
For one short year they lived with

DAIRY MANAGEMENT.
How to Keep the Co“‘u in at Prime
Condition of Health and In-
sure Pecuniary Success.
Twice each day, 14 times each week,
our cows are driven from the field to
the stable during pasture season and
milked, cacli cow tied in her own stall
and fed a supplementary ruti‘pn of
grain, but not a balanced one except
that it aids digestion and assimilation
with pusturc consumed during the day.
This grain ration is made up largely of
bran, with per cent. of chop added.

The barn portrayed herewithis built
upon a large scalc, holding 100 tons of
buy. The extreme measurements. are
sketched CO by {)0 feet. The center or

and 76 feet long by 24 high, and is

We do not feed grain for the purpose of
quicting our cows, but for the specific
purpose of obtaining revenue, and al-
wuys feel that it pays to do it in such
a degree as good judgmcnt permits.
Our cows are driven quietly to and
from field, which is not fur, nor should
it. be distant. We saw a man go one
mile to u rented posture to milk. This
was on the right side of economy as
uguinst driving,r cows the distance to
and from pasture. We fear some of our
duirymen are not sufficiently careful
during the summer in curing for
stables, keeping them cleanly and re-
moving daily some of the products that
soon produce noisome odors. Every-
thing should be kept absolutely clean
nnd every stain dusted with gypsum or
what is almost as good, common road
dust.
Alnmst daily our stalls are swept. and
the walk behind treated likewise, so
that they present a tempting place for
the cows to go to eat and rest while
they are speedily puilcd. We advocate
rapid milking when done in n masterly
way. In fly time a burlap cover closed
up at. the rear is thrown over a cow
while milking her, and she stands per-
fcctly quiet. and cannot, use her tail to
11W “filmynncc of the milker. L'ddcrs
and tents are dusted before milking,
thus avoiding fOI'elgn substances get.-
ting,r into the milk, which we consider
very important. At once after cows are
milked they are turned out to avoid
soiling the trench. We are. poor on.
thority on kicking (sows. The best way
to break them is not to have them.
Kicking cows are, we think. the result
of poor handling: and truining.~—Gcorgc

HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN.
Do not. depend on beauty 01‘ form in
the selection of the good dairy cow

we ever possessed was of undeniable
"scrub"origin uud exceedingly angular.
While a great many people find fault
with the Devon un uccbunt of their long
horns, yet. they have proven themselves

One really good cow will furnish us

the profit. all goes in keeping the extra
cow. If we would prosper we mum,
keep our wits awake. ,

Plowman.
Don't “lorry the Cow,
A rough, quick-tempered man should
never be tolerated around the cow
stable. The cow loves quietiude. Any
disturbance which excites her lessens
if it does not stop the secretion and flow
of milk. it is very easy for an employc.
by kicking and beating a cow just be-
fore or while he is milking, to lessen
her milk flow by one-half. This is
called “holding up” the milk. It is
really a prevention of milk secretion,
and the milk thus lost. does not come
down at any subsequent milking.—

A Mlnnenoln man Consider-n Thin the

of the Dairy.
After five years’ experience I find
that this is a most important prob-
lem. if the yield from the creamery is

lies with the butter maker, he should

it, will be more difiicult to remedy, but
firmness at the weigh can will usually
bring about the desired change. Pack-
nch should be neat and Clean and put
up in accordance with the demands of
the market. The safest package for
our Minnesota creamerics is the 56-
puund ash tub. The bulk of the goods
goes to New York. By combining and
shipping in curloads a saving of ten
cents per cwt. can be effected. If you
have a good commission house do not
leave it. Investigate ,nL‘W firms care-
fully, even before shipping a trial lot.
1 do not like the idea of having one man
to handle the butter on a salary. I
would diVidc shipments several times
and make cnl‘eful comparisons of re~
turns, consideringnot only the price,
but the weight. It would be well for
creamerics to send their secretary or
manager to study the max-keno which
they ship. Beware of tempting offers
from outside houses or wholesale gro~
cers and never ship to them without
investigating references carefully.—-

Don‘t Travel In One Track.
The last report of the Massachusetts
highway conunissiuu states that. an
"important.outlay" in maintaining-
stonc roads is caused by the tendency
cf drivers to travel in one track, there-
by causing “a single line of final to
be worn for a width of 11/3 to2feet,"
and making necessary repairs that
would not be called for if truvelsprcad
out a little over the surface. Signs
reading. “Don’t drive in the middle of
the road" have been placed on road:
where this tendency has been most.
marked and has been respected in
many cases. The roads would be still
further preserved if wide tires and
axles of unequal length were .used on
heavy vehicles.

reason that those names arc unknown among

keeping geese this year. The l’odkinses are
not kcc )ing gccsc«~not if they know it. Now
the llodkins geese acquired the habit, when
weary of disporttng themselves in the “big
ditch,” of resorting to the front lawn of
the l’odkins dcmesnc. Thcsc invasions the
Podkinsus resented. Their remonstrauces
failed of effect. A condition of strained
relations ensued. Mrs. l’odkins, kindly old v

A FATHER’S STORY.
From the Evening Crescent, Appleton, Wis.
A remarkable cure from a disease which
has generally wrecked the lives of children,
and left them in a condition to which death
itself would. be tpreferred has attracted a
rent amount 0 attention among the resi-
dents of the west end of Ap leton.
The case is that of little Villard Creech,
son of Richard D. Crecch, a well known
employe’ of one of the large aper mills in
the Fox River Valley. The lad was attacked
by spinal disease and his parents had given
up a i hope of his ever being well again
when, as by a miracle, he was healed and is
now in school as hap )y as any ofliis mates.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the car. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are cause. by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
\Ve will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh that
cannot be_curcd by Hall’s Catarrh. Cure.

Two Letters to Mrs. Pinkham.
Mrs. Jon}: W‘ILLXAMs, Englishtown,
N. J., writes:
“ DEAR Mus. PIXKHAM:-—I cannot be-
gin to tell you how I suffered before
taking your remedies. I was so weak
that I could hardly walk across the floor
without falling. I had womb trouble
and such a bearing—down feeling- ; also
suffered with my back and limbs, pain
in womb, inflammation of the bladder,
piles and indigestion. Before I had
taken one bottle of Lydia. E. Pinkham‘s
Vegetable Compound I felt a. great deal.
better, and after taking two and one-
half bottles and half a box of your
Liver Pills I was cured. If more would
take your medicine they would not
have to suffer so much.”
Mrs. Josnrn PETERSON, 513 East St,
Warren, Pan, writes:
“Dunn Mas. Plannanz—I have suf-
fered with womb trouble over fifteen
years. I had inflammation, enlarge.
ment and displacement of the womb.
I had the backache constantly. also
headache. and was so dizzy. I had
heart trouble, it. seemed as though my
heart was in my throat at times choir
ing me. I could not walk around and
I could not lie down, for then my heart
would heat so fast. I would feel as
though I was smothering. I had to
sit. up in bed nights in order to breathe.
I was so weak I could. not do any-
thing.
“I have now taken several bot-
tles of Lydia. .E. Pinkham‘s Vegetable
Compound. “and used three pack~
ages of Sanative Wash, and can say
I- am perfectly cured. I do not. think
I could have lived long if Mrs. Pink-
ham’s medicine had not. helped me.”
