Certain facts, however, transpired
concerning Mary's equal faithfulness
to auother of her children. It is said
that one Saturday afteru000 when the
road manager of the new line was sept•

uess dimension with two directors •
gentle tap was beard at the door. It
was opened to an eager little face, a
pair of blue eyes and a blue pinafore.
To the astonishment of the directors a
change came over the taus of the man-
ager. Taking the child gently by the
band, be walked to his desk, on which
the papers of the new line were scatter-
ed, and drew open a drawer, from which
he took a large ninepin extraordinarily
dressed as a doll. The astoulsbwent of
the two gentlemen was Sucreased at the
following gustiest oolloquy betweetl the
manager and the child:
"She's doing remarkably well in
spite of the trying weather, but 1 have
had to keep her very quiet," said the
manager, regarding the ninepin critic-
ally.
"Fra," add Mary quickly. "It's just
the same with Juhuuy Dear. His cough

"There's a good deal of scarlet fever
around," continued the manager with
quiet concern, "and we can't be too
careful. Bat 1 "ball take her for a little

The eyes of Mary sparkled and over
flowed like bine water. Then there was
a kiss, a little laugh, a aby glance at

have shown that where this disease is
prevalent tomatoes should not be grown
continuously upon the mime soil and all
stems of plants should be burned at the
close of the season.
A seoond troublesome disease of the
tomato is due to a bacterium and is res.-
ognized by • sudden wilting of the foli-
age, followed by a yellow color that
finally becomes brown. Thia diamee of
the tomato was first complained of in
the south, but it is now found as far
north as Washington and may be ex
pected as a troublesome pest by tbe
truckers around Philadelphia and Nets
York. Other plants belonging to the
same family with the tomato are affwe

plants from the attacks of insects by
the use of insecticides. In additioii
to this any plant that ahows the cilia

infection. It is well to practice rota

In concluttion, the author states that

Some years ago. says a correspondent
of Hoard's Dairyman, I raised quite a
number of calves on hay tea. I took
good, sweet clover hey, not out, and
pressed three pounds for each calf into
an iron pot of sufficient size and poured
plenty of water over it and cooked it
for not less than an hour. The result
was a strong decoction of hay. The
three pritind" of hay furnished tea
enough for one feed, seven potioda This

Is Mov-olag Milk Best?
There is a general belief that the en•
tire rest which the cow gets at night
makes the morning milk richer than
that which she gives at night after
more or lem exercise through the day,
but if the exerciae in daytime takes
anything from the milk it is more like-
ly to use up Um albumeneids or atrength
giving elements and thus leave the
milk richer. Yet the morplim's milk
may be richer in butter fats for an en-
tirely different reason. There ia mown
to believe that all the time milk is
forming in the udder it is losing emne
of ita butter fats which are being ab-
sorbed by the cow. The strippings or
milk last formed is for this renews rich-
er than that first taken. In summer
time there is a shorten. time between
milking at morning than at uight, and
tion of etrippings in the Frtnaller mess of
milk.—American Cultivator.
