A Cape Cod Captain's Way of Keepln Her on the Desired C onrae. A -writer In the Outlook tells the fol lowing: When I was down on Cape Cod last summer I heard an amusing story about an old sea captain and bis cow. . Capt. Patterson, after sailing the sea for more than forty years, finally retired to a little farm near Barnstable, where he settled down, with a horse, cow and two or three dozen hens. His cow, though a lank and rather stubborn creature, was said to come from very good stock, and when the Barnstable people took It into their heads to have a fair Capt. Patterson determined to exhibit his cow. ' But when the day came for driving her to the grounds the cow showed that she had a wind of her own, and would not budge a step beyond the gate. In vain the old captain tugged at the rope, pummeled her sides and pushed her flanks.. Capt. Patterson's patience was very nearly gone, when suddenly an idea occurred to him. Though he was not strong enough himself to force the cow to go to the fair, bis training suggested something that was. Tying the cow to the gate-post, he went up Into the loft of his barn and threw down an old Ball stepped to a dory mast. Then he put a horse's blanket belt through an Iron ring, strapped the belt around the cow, inserted the end of the mast in the ring, and bound the mast to the side of the cow with some fifty feet of rope. The wind blew "quartering," and when the captain untied the cow and raised the sail the canvas was swelled out over the cow's back and away she went "sidling" down the road, mooing and lunging, and trying to stop herself In vain. Capt. Patterson seized her tall, and, using It as a rudder, guided her skillfully in the right direction. With every fresh puff of wind the obstinate cow would be hurried along faster, while the dust blew up In clouds, and the sail Capped and tugged, as Capt. Patterson held to the main-sheet with one hand and the cow's tall with the other. It was a hard voyage for both of them, but not a long one; and when they came In sight of the fair ground everybody ran out to see the remarka ble sight of a cow being sailed through the streets like a ship. Cheers and laughter filled the air, and when the captain finally whirled his cow around at the gate of the fair ground and brought her neatly "up Into the wind," the shout that arose might have been heard two miles away. Unfortunately, Capt Patterson's cow did not take one of the prizes for blood ed stock, but the captain himself was given a special prize by the fair com missioners for "the best device for get ting balky cattle to market." TRUMPET CALLS. Barn's Horn Sound a Warning Mote to the Unredeemed. SATAN nas never outwitted God. Opinions cannot overthrow facts. Laziness and dirt never quarrel Shingle your house before you plaster it A bad man's hate is a good man's reputation. The root of ail evil is the cause of much digging. No man ever stumbles over an object to his rear. Facts never blink under the sunlight of evidence. It takes a windy man to blow his own trumpet. Hope is a staff in the morning, and a couch at night. You can throw a ten-pound stone far- than than a feather. The last blow brings the wash, but all that went before were needed to fell the tree. Some men say they must see Jesus before they will let Him cure them of their blindness. The price of the admission to "good society" is frequently the loss of the society of Jesus. It is an awful thing to pray, "Thy kingdom come," unless you are ready to meet the King. The man who boasts of his virtues has to boost them up In order that they may be seen.

Hun dreds of thousands of pounds sterling have been invested in the scheme to dig from the bottom of the Red Sea the vast treasures lost by the hosts of Pharaoh. There are other schemes too numerous to bother with. Under the head of current literature a household magazine prints instruc tions for making a cheap medical bat tery. No men have more shortcomings than those who are always behind time. 14 Corn Cribs., There Is more loss and waste for, trant of safe corn cribs on the farms than by any other neglect to ensure, safety from small vermin. Rats, mice and those Insects which ravage this grain, will frequently do more damage than would pay the Interest on the cost of the best and most substantial cribs to store It In. In, the wanner part, of the Uultid States there are two spe-. cles of Insects, either of which will destroy a full half of the corn every year by laying their eggs on the grain, and the grubs will eat the grain Into holes, several of these holes frequently being found In each grain. In the first illustration is given a plan of the frame of a small crib to hold from two hundred bushels to as many SMALL CORN CRIB. more as may be needed. The crib must not be too wide, and full opportunity must be given for the wind to pass through to dry the ears and prevent heating of the new grain. This crib Is set on posts as shown, and Is cover ed on both sides with lath laid length ways. The upper part may be used as a loft for storing a surplus when needed. The top of each side should be closed in, as the sides are. It is a profitable measure of safety to cover such a crib as this inside with fine wire gauze, with such a small mesh as will keep out the grain moths. Where the danger from these does not .exist, the quarter-inch wire net will keep out the mice and rats. The second picture shows a double crib with a driveway between the two Bides, The cribs should not be more DOUBLE COBN CBIB. than five feet wide, so that the air may pass through to dry the corn thor oughly. The floors of each crib should be made of narrow boards with balf Inch spaces between them, and these spaces protected with wire net Keeping; Teams But jr. One of the hardest tasks of the small farmer Is to keep the teams that he is obliged to own busy all times of the year. There are many times, in winter especially, when the weather Is unfit for out-of-door work, and then both men and teams are necessarily Idle, But if all the good weather Is used, the team can be made profitable even dur- Ing the winter. On a sleigh with smooth track larger loads can be drawn than can be on wagons, and with less labor to both team and loader. Loads of manure can be drawn from cities If a contract has been made for it in ad vance. The market gardeners secure moet of this manure, for they contract to take it every month through the year, which most farmers who are busiest in the summer cannot afford' to do. Valnable Liniment.

Good for burns, cuts or bruises of any kind. If in hot weather, apply liniment at once to the fresh wound. It needs no bandage, as a fly will not come near. Clover la Beat as Hay. It requires more labor to cut clover for the silo than It does to cut corn, as the gum In the clover stalks dulls tho knives and prevents rapid work. The further fact that ciovet Is harder to keep in best condition as silage, and that some dry feed Is always ueeded when ,clover is fed. ought to be suffi cient to decide that the clover growth ori a farm should always be fed as hay. The ensilaged corn Is apt to make stock too laxative when fed with It The clover Is dry and nutritious, and Is Just the kind of feed to give with ensilage. Agrrlcnltnrat Co-Opcratlon. The Home Industrial Association, with a capital stock of $10,000. has been organized by a company of Rich mond and Wayne County (Ind.) men. The stock Is divided into shares of $100 each, and no member can hold more than one share. The company was or ganized to test the experiment of co operative agriculture and horticulture work, and land has been secured, aud the work on a dairy and creamery is in progress. Bee culture, truck garden ing and the culture of small fruits and berries is to be started in the spring. The promoters of the scheme expect to Inaugurate a general system of co operation, and to start branches in other States, with headquarters in Richmond. Plow-Ripening; Cheese. The anxiety of cheese-makers to have their cheese come early into market in duces them to make a soft porous cheese into which air easily enters, and which consequently ripens early. But cheese thus made cannot be kept for a long time without having Its quality much deteriorated. If a larger propor tion of cheese was pressed thoroughly so as to have a firmer texture, It would keep until times when there is little good cheese in market, and higher prices could be obtained for it. But the firm cheese has' so much less moisture than the porous cheese that the price does not pay the maker. Limp on Jaw. This Is a disease peculiar to cattle. It is not contagious and does not af fect the milk as long as the cow keep's In good condition. This disease, If not checked sooner or later, affects the teeth, interfering with mastication, and the animal loses flesh, and In time will die. Treatment: Mix 2 drams blnlodlde of mercury with 2 ounces lard and rub on a little once a week; also, give the cow I dram Iodide of potassium in a bran mash, morning and night and continue It for three weeks. Oranjje Judd Farmer. Carbonic Acid One In Pell. The air in all soils contains a much larger proportion of carbonic acid gas than does that In the atmosphere above. It Is largest, of course, In soils that, are full of vegetable matter whose decomposition liberates It This gas has an Important effect In keeping mineral fertility soluble. So far as soil Is concerned, It Is the best solvent known. This Is the reason why phos- phate does so much more good on soils full of vegetable matter than on sandy or gravelly soil that is nearly bare of vegetable matter. Keeping; Apples, All bruised apples will rot, and will pay to examine the barrels, so as to discard all that are affected, as a single rotten apple in a barrel will gradually affect the whole. In hand ling the apples when picking them over care 'must be exercised not to Injure them while so doing. Any apple with a oroicen sKin is name to rot l nej should be kept In a temperature Just above the freezing point Castor Beans as a Crop, The castor bean Is quite commonly planted In many yards for Its fine foil age, which produces among our native flowers a fine tropical effect Even here If planted early many of Its seeds will ripen. But in some of the States, as Missouri and Arkansas, the castor bean Is planted for Its seeds, which are ground and the oil expressed. The plant requires very rich laud to make a suc cess of the crop. Falling Off In Milk. -Many dairymen are disappointed at the beginning of winter because the cows fall off in milk. This is due usual ly to the sudden change from green to dry food. Any change made should be gradual, by feeding dry food before winter sets in, Increasing the dry food dally until the cows are given the larger proportion of It. When ensllngu can be used the shrinkage Is less than without Its ni. , "Yes, sir," said the man In Cell Til, "time was when I was admitted to the very best houses." "And What brought yon here?"
