There was aleo stopping ' at the same Jettel a charming American • woman with whom he was slightly ;le- i quaiutel. The prisoner, had been liber- ated and were rushing madly through I the streets. The order had also been given that all windows and shutters must ete kept closed. Shut up in her dark room tette hearing the noisy rabble below, the woman became greatly alarmed. "There is but one thing for me to do," she cried, "to insure safety. I will put myself underthe care of the Ameri- can general." She therefore sent her card to Sheri- dan, who at once called and offered his services. He also advised that she should join his party in the morning and get away to London. Still she appeared dis- tressed. Fivally she cried: "It is my bonnets at Virot's. They were to have been down today. How can I go and leave them?" The general grasped the situation and offered his arm to escort her to the mil- liner's. Happily it was not far off. Ever afterward he delighted to tell of his pleasure at seeing such an array of dainty headgear. He had never been at a milliner's before.—New York Sun. Maps of Valley Forge. It is somewhat remarkable that the only known maps of the Valley Forge encampment during the winter of 1777-8 were made known to an Amer- ican as late as last summer, when Judge Pennypacker discovered them in Am- sterdam, and that, presented before the Sons of the Revolution on their visit to Valley Forge Saturday, tbey will only become known to the American public when published in the society's year- book The series of maps now in Judge Pennypacker's possession and made originally by a French engineer with the American army include not only care- ful drawings of the Valley Forge en- campment, but plans also of the battle- fields of Pentsylvania and New Jersey. It is understood that the plot of the Valley Forge encampment modifies ma- terially the traditions concerning the camp, showing the location of troops where heretofore no troops have been supposed to have had their encampment. The careful Hollander who contributed so heartily to the American cause ap- pears to have contributed the last chea- ter to the bistory of the cause by pre- serving these maps until they fell into the eget hands. — Philadelphia In - quiver. • Sweet Woman.

Youth's Compani011. eta SKIM MILK CALVES. reed Which Will Produce Growth and Lean Meat Rather Than rat. A correspondent oe Hoard's Dairy- man, P. B. Crosby of Maryland, says that most people have an idea that a calf will not thrive 011 skinunilk, and, they consequeutly give it new milk, and with the uew milk goes the profit also. Now, I know by actual experience teat a calf can be raised ou if he has enough. We have one 110V1 this place that at 4 weeks gets ete pounds of sktmmilk a day, and, besides, all the briget bay it wants, welch is a good detel. And with this liberal feed- ing it is a beauty, aud, as for growth, as the hired man expresses it "It beats any calf I ever did see." The trouble with not only calves, butmostyouug stook, is elpitysi:;;;!, MIT' FOUR weeits leen that they do uot get enoug,h. A growth boy will eat tuore than a grown mate and the growing calf wants enough, oi it will not be a growing calf. Another idea that ehould be taken into cousideration is the ultimate pure pose for which the calf is inteuded. If it is only for veal, theu it should be got fat, but for the dairy purpose, theu all its feed should be with the aim of growth rather than fat A wise teacher tolls ea to train up a child when it is Frew and when it is old its train - tug will not depart from it. Just so with a calf. If, when it is a calf, it is trained to lay on fat. wIteu it is old it will still beve tite eame tendency, lute its feed will go to fat instead of the milk pail. For this reason skiunnilk is manifestly better for a calf than wbole milk if the dairy is to be its purpose. for the tendency of saimmilk is to pro- duce growth and lean meat rather than fat, and this teudeucy in later years will cause the cow to turn her feed intc milk rather than fat. Upsetting. Natureta Laws. Any animal that is in a healthy con - did= will, if it has enough to eat, lay on fat. It may take a great deal of feed to make a small amount of fat, but only keep on and ultinuttely it will get fat. Taus nue- one Iva° is iu the busbnes of fattening cattle has nature hack of him, and the kind of animal with which he is working is not of such vital impor- tance. But in the dairy the case is entirely different. The milk cowis anunnatural product and her tendency is to go back to the original state from which she came. And if the highest measure of success is to be obtained there must be a constant combating of nature's laws. We often hear it advised that the heifer at her first calf should be milked as long as possible to strengthen the milk- ing habit. This is because of the fact that we have just stated, and it is ad- vice that should be well considered. But the most important bearing of this fact is upon the feeding of the cow. If by liberal feeding we force the heifer to give a large quantity of milk, we there- by strengthen the tendency to give milk in the later years of her life, and this is not only true of the heifer with her first calf but also of the older cow; the more we train her to give milk the more she can be made to produce. So that we may safely say that a cow that has had liberal feeding from her calfhood up is worth more, very much more, than if she had been poorly fed. Which way are you training your cows? Troublesome Tests. The test is a great source of trouble to the butter maker, for a certain patron will claim that his test is too low, an- other varies too much from month to month. Another changes feeding bis cows, and it makes no difference with his test. Now, when these complaints are being made is the time to invite them to see you on testing day. Most butter makers have certain days for do- ing their testing. Have the dissatisfied patrons and the noncomplainer as well go with you and see their milk tested and compared with their neighbor's test. By so doing they will know that you are trying to be honest with them. There are so many butter makers that, wheu test day comes, they will go to the creamery, lock the doors and do the testing as though they were experiment- ing on some new invention and were afraid some one would learn their secret. The Danger of Paint. Dr. James Law reports an interesting case of poisoning by lead, which he re- cently observed. He found several sick cows, suffering from nervous disorders, in a herd from which one had but rot, ceritly died. An examination of the dead animal revealed nothing, but a glance at the new tub silo gave the reason. It had been painted inside with a thin coat of lead last summer, the knots be- ing coated again. The acetic acid, de- veloped in the ensilage, had dissolved some of the paint forraing the poison- ous sugar of lead, lead acetate By prompt treatment of the sick animals they were saved, but one in the herd, apparently veell, succurabed suddenly, making the second victim.

She should believe iu millt as a diet for babes, youth and Men of adult age; should love the cow as a God given blessing to the human femily. She should be a neat, tidy woman in her dress, and wheu she walks into her dairy it should be a model of 'teethes& aud clean- liness free from all blemishes—a large room with trough to set tier milk cans in, supplied with running, cool, spring water to tee depth of half the heighth of the eaus, the cans thoroughly clean- ed, aired aucl sweetened in the sunlight, shining bright as new dollars, before the milk goes into them. The windows and ventilators of her dairy should be coveredwith gauze wire screens, so that neither fly, gnat or smallest insect caa enter, or in any manlier intrude its preseuce.

Flap by step, from the old stone creek and dailt &urn to the seie arator mut modern appliances of all kinds for doing the work speedily and well; fratti a few scrub cows to a flue herd of ingb grade and full Wood dairy cows; from cows that made only 10C pounds of butter a year to yews that make ntore thau three times that Amount. We have met difilcultiete many of them, aud still meet them, but determinatiou to win will overcome them. The idea that one must be supplied with all the modern maeltillery for malting butter before good butter can be made is erroneous. Modern appliaucet lighten labor and do the work more economically. We made just as good quality of butter when we relead our cream in tin vans set in a cheap wooden tank as we did when -lasing a high priced creamer, or as we uow make when using a separator. 1 Jaye a friend who was noted for making fine butter before sep- arators came in use. A tank and cans, the cost of which did not exceed $5, were used, set under a plum tree at least 50 feet from the well from which he carried the water to cool the milk; lots of work, but it was a step toward something better. He now has a separa- tor and convenient dairy room. These friends, like many others, did not com- plain of lank of opportunity, but used the means they bad to better their con- dition instead of complaining about no chance to improve.—Oor. Rural World. Keep Lime Oat of Cream. From the word gowe are dowtion all devices for the so called "improving" of pasteurized cream. A soheme has been devised, declared. to be perfectly harm- less—heaven save the mark—where- by a preparation of lime is added to the cream to thicken it, and so make the buyer think he is getting a luscious ar- ticle of pure cow cream. It is a fraud and a cheat. No preparation of lime can be healthful when added to cream, and no cream that has lime in it is pure. We are surprised beyond measure that some who have the name of being repu- table dairy folk should lend their coun- tenance to this swindle. The stuff that is put in is a powerful alkali, and even those who make it and recommend it admit that it must be "used with ca.re." Throw it to the dogs.
