Home rrnctlrnl Point In Milking.
If there Is nny thing tlmt require!
the dairy en's personal attention
more than any other, it Is milking.
More .rood cows a-- spoiled every
year by careless milking that any
other way. A very little milk left In
the udder nt each milking will cause
the best cow to decrease, and eventu
ally to rease milking entirely.
ilio milking should not only be done
thoroughly, but it should be done
quickly, and unless the operntor sings,
should be done quietly. In Switzer
land It is said they pay nn extra price
to n milker who slugs. No loud, bois
terous language should be permitted.
The cow li a nervous animal, and nny
undue excitement affects the quantity
and quality of tho milk unfavorably.
lo not allow persons or dogs to
worry the cows. Heifers thnt have
been carefully and kindly handled
from call'hood to maturity seldom de
velop into kickers, but occasionally
there Is one that does. It is always
best to determine the cause, if possi
ble, and remove It. The teats may lie
sore and tender. An application of
vaseline, French mixture or lard will
bring relief. If the udder Is inllamcd
ami swollen, frequent fomentations of
hot water and an application of either
of the nliove-unnied remedies will usu
ally prove effectual.
Another very simple and effectual
remedy Is to mix enough of the cow's
milk with a few baudfuls or salt to
mnke a thin paste and anoint the ud
der four or live times a day. That is
our usual remedy. We have had but
one ease iu live years that It did not
cure.
With tho first calf there Is more dan
ger of the udder being Inflamed and
tender than nt any later period, and
will demand closer attention and the
greatest care in milking. A cow suf
fering from nny disease of the uddel
should be milked thoroughly three or
four times per day; under no circum
stances should the udder bo full and
distended nny length of time.
Kindness, firmness and fearlessness
n-e necessary qualifications in a good
milker. One who cannot control his
temper, or who Is afraid of a cow, need
not expect to become a successful
milker. Kindness is not thrown away,
even to nn animal. I know It some
times requires a great deal of patience
to milk a kicking cow, but If a person
Is determined he can control himself
under nlinost any clroiiinslmices.

When the writer wns n boy the
method of planting potatoes wns as
follows: Tho laud was covered with
barnyard manure, a furrow wns
struck, and the seed dropped In the
furrow about a foot apart. Terhaps
boys would follow with a rake and
draw into the furrow the manure from
nn area of three furrows. Generally,
however, the manure was plowed un
der as tho plow enme to it. The pota
toes were planted in every third fur
row. This method did well enough
in sandy soils, but think of planting
potatoes in this way in heavy clay
land. The system is not entirely ob
solete yet, but It is with the beBt po
tato growers. Still, as a rule, potato
ground is carelessly prepared. We
read columns of ndvlce as to prepar
ing laud for the potato crop. My land
is the black prairie soil of Illinois.
I am an advocate of fall plowing in
general, but If I fall plowed for no
other crop, I should do it for potatoes.
Just as soon as the ground can be
worked In the spring, I disk it both
ways. Just before planting, I disk
again one wny.. This destroys the
weeds and puts the land in good con
dition for planting.
Select the largest nnd smoothest
potatoes for seed, nnd cut to two
eyes, after having treated them with
a corrosive sublimate solution us fol
lows: To from eight to ten ounces
of corrosive sublimate which is dead
ly poison and must be handled with
cure I ndd a gallon of boiling water,
stirring it until the sublimate is thor
oughly dissolved. Then this Is put
into a tight barrel and fifty gallons of
cold water Is added, and the mixture
is thoroughly stirred. Tut tho solu
tion In some kind of n reccptnele which
will enable you to immerse the potU'
toes properly. It can be divided luto
different barrels, ench holdiug enough
to cover n lot of potatoes tlmt have
been placed in a gunny sack, flnce
Iho potntoes In such a sack, and put
them Into the mixture, letting them
remain there .for an hour, stirring tho
sack occasionally in order that tho
potatoes may become thoroughly wet,
If the whole mixture can be put Into
a convenient tank, the potatoes can
be emptied directly into the liquid. In
e'ther case, remove them after nn
hour to a drying lloor, which should bo
so constructed that the potatoes can
drip, and the drippings should be
saved in some way. When dry, cut
and plant, nnd If there aro many good
potatoes to plaut, a potato planter will
bo found ecouomlenl, though ninny
good potato growers still plant pota
toes without a planter.
In a recent issue a writer stated
that ho niado tho furrows with a
shovel plow, and it Is an excellent
method. The rows ought to be about
three and a half feet npnrt, nnd the
seed about fifteen Inches apart In the
row. Cultivation should begin very
soon after planting, nt least as soon
as the weeds begin to show. Ordina
rily potutoes may be harrowed, with
profit, twlco before most people begin
cultivation. Tut in tho cultivator as
soon as the potatoes are well up nnd
the weeds sturt, and cultivate as long
as you can got through without Injur
ing tho vines, but after the second or
third cultivation tho ground should bo
worked very shallow. William Cor

ago nn Osage Indian womnn, Fox

nnd placed In Jail on charge of having
murdered four white men who have
been her husbands within the past ten
years. Their blenched bones were
lately found by a prospecting pnrty
nt least they are supposed to have
been the remains of the white men
and later the Woman confessed to the
fact that they were. She confessed
that she killed these men because they
tried to wring frc:n her the secret of
the lost gold mine which she claims to
know the wherenbnuts of. Phe refused
to tell them nnd they went In search
of It nnd with the knowledge they bad
from time to time picked up from her
were in n good wny to locate It. Then
she said she wns compelled to slay
them, ns she would any one else who
would seek to carrv nwav the ir.il.1 nf

LEOEND OK MINE.
There is n legend regard I usr this
mine. It Is known ns the Louisiana
mine nnd Is said to be located some
where In the llrand Klver hills In the
Cherokee imtlon, Indian Territory. In
early days (he Osage Indians had this
country tor their hunting grounds nnd
white men who visited them returned
Jfiast with stories of how thev nse,l
gold for bullets and shod their horses'
hoofs with gold Instead of steel, be
cause the gidd was more plentiful. At
thnt time the Indians told these white
people that ihey were In possession of
vast gold mines In their d nmn In
willed they had caused the Spaniards
to give up.
Efforts to learn where these mines
were proved futile. At different times
mnny men Lava lr.nde the trip through
tho (j'rnnd Hiver hills with the hope
finding the mines or soino trace- of
them. It Is very dangerous even at
this time for a white man to traverse
tl twuntry, from the fact thnt It is
populated o:ily by full-Hooiled Indians
who hate the sight of a white man in
what they ierm their sacred domain.
It was uear tho Grand Hlver hills
that Molllu Foxwater always livid and
she often made long trips inlo tho hills

come to Tulsa many times nnd tell the

2. "A man named ZarclieiiR." He

engaged in a business to infamous in the
eyes of the ,Icw, he xvus considered a a
mere heathen. V 7. Ziircheus is the
(Jreek form of the Hebrew "Zaecni," nnd
means pure. 1 he meaning of his name
was in sharp contrast with his character,
which seems to have been bud, for lie con
fessed to Jesiig that lie had, at least in
sninc eases, tuken money from his fellow
townsmen by swearing falsely ngninxt
them before the magistrate's, 'thief

located one of the principal custom-houses.
1 Ho trade in li.ilm.in was extensive, and
Zacchcus was evidently superintendent nf

of the revenue derived from that article,
"lie was rich." And like uiaiiv rich men

money. It was no credit to him that lie
was rich.
3. "Soiiijlit to see ,Tcns." At this time

dishonest, wicked life. "Who he was."
1. rporU of the miracles and tcacliines of

was great excitement, on all hands. Hut
probably the thing that interested Z.ie

Luke 18: 4M. .Icsus was walking among
them with nothing to distinguish II nil
from the others. "Little of stature." lie
cause of this Zaeeheus could not see over
the heads of the multitude. Ziiccheus is a
typical character, the type of many who
are wanting to Bee Christ, hut who are
spiritually too short to see llim.
4. "And he ran before." He laid neido

that Ho fathomed his heart ami understood

had probably never heard. "M ike haste
and come down." Zacchcus had desired
to cec Jesus, but now he is permitted to
converse with llim. He that has n mind
to know Christ shall be known of llim.
"To-day." Il is not known whether He
stopped merely for a mid-day rest or taf
lied over night. "I mast." A divine plan,
fixing every event in our Lord's ministry.
Christ applies the greatest principle lo the
smallest duly. What was this "must?"
To Btop for nn hour or two on His way to
Jerusalem nnd save a sinner. Nothing is
too trivial to be brought under the domin
ion of law, and to be regulated by the di
vine will.
0. "He made haste." lie had not ex
pected to have the honor of being noticed,
much less to entertain tho I'.oyal (iuest.
lie hastens with joy to hIiow llim all due
respect and receive llim into his house.
Ueeciving Him into his house betokens
his receiving llim into his heart.
7. "When they saw it." The crowd of
lews murmured, it required courage tc
meet the prejudices of a. nation, but Jesus
always had courage to do the right. "To
be a guest." Thus recognizing Zacrheus as
an couid, socially, "A sinner." Publican
wns synonymous with sinner and heathen.
Tho Jews did not keep promises with mur
derers, thieves and publicans. Tho syna
gogue's alms box must not receive their
alms. It was not lawful to use riches re
ceived by them, nor could they judge or
give testimony in court. Hence we tea
what a breach of Jewish notions it was
for Jesus to eat with a publican, or be a
guest at his home.
8. "Stood." Before Christ and the
apostles and whatever guests were pres
ent. "The half ol my goods," etc. Some
consider this to mean that he had already
done this, but it is far more probable that
he now determines to use his property for
God and humanity. A few days before
this Jesus had shown how diflicult it was
for a rich man to enter the kingdom of
heaven, but, diflicult as it is, here is n
rich man entering in. Contrast this with
tho action of the rich young ruler. A
strong evidence of a change of heart is
this change of practice. Liberality would
not lead to repentance, but repentance
leads to liberality. "If by false accusa
tion." The "if" does not imply doubt;
he has taken money wrongfully.
0. "is salvation come." Zaecheus was
saved, delivered from his past sins and
Hindu "a new creature." Proof was am
ple: I. He had received Jrsns gladly.
2. Ho had repented and confessed. 3. lie
had pledged himself to make restitution.
4. lie had turned his riches over to (hid,
to be used for the good of others. "Son
of Abraham." Inasmuch as ho has re
pented and is forgiven, Zaecheus is as
good a son of Abraham us though he had
never been a sinner.
10. "is come to seek." While Zc liens
was so desirous of seeing the Saviour
Jesus was more desirous to see ami save
him. He hail made a journey lo Jericho
for the purpose of seeking him out and
saving him. "Which was lost." A man
may be lost in more bciiscs than one. Ln-d
in sin, lost in the crowd of men, lost in
doubt und fear, lost to his proper use
and joy in the world. Iu whatever sense
ws may be lost, His purpose is to tind
lave us.

Tho sudden death In tn engine cab
ft few days ago of George Martin of
Cleveland, O., ono of the oldest engi
neers in the United States, recalls the
' GIDEON 1 1 AW LEY.
Tito Debt of Urriuany.
. It matters not what the Income of
a nation may be It seems sura to be In
debt. Since the close of tha Franco
German war Germany has been at
peaeo; sho has none of the extraordi
nary expenses that war brings. Tho re
sult of that contest brought her, In ad
dition to tho provinces of Alsnco nnd
lorraine, the enormous sum of $1,000,
000,000 in cash. She should be, there
fore, in fairly prosperous condition;
yot, tho debt of tho empire has been
trebled sluce tho death of Emp?ror
William, which occurred shortly ufter
the war.
Some men ore always wanting peo
ple to tell them how good-looking they
uro, but a womnn will stand up In
front of a mirror and boo for herself.
One of tho disadvantages of bring a
woman Is to huvo to listen to so
mnny compliment from nitn, which
she knows aro not mount.
I
fnct that he enjoyed two uniiRU.il dis
tinctions during his long career. It
was he who engineered tho train which,
carried President Lincoln to his lnnu
gural. Ills hand guided the engine
which hauled tho train bearing Lin
coln's remains homo from tho capital
of the nation. When the body of tho)
martyred President Garfield was boms
to the city of Cleveland, Martin again
had charge of tho locomotive.
However, Mr. Martin was not the
oldest engineer in tho United State.
This distinction undoubtedly belongs
to Gideon Hawley of Conneajit, O., who)
is still In tho harness. Fifty-one years
at the throttle is his record.
