WILTON FARMERSy CLUB.
A meeting of Ike Wilton Fnrmers’
club was held October 22, at the school
house in Hurlbutt street, their usual place
of meeting every Monday evening, until
further notice. After the correspondence
had been read, the secretary offered the
following :-— '
' Mr. President :—-Lust winter, I expeii-
merited on feeding and I have been re-
quested to give the results to the club,
which I do most heartily; but my cows
were so near coming in, of course they
would not respond to feed as readily as
though they were fresh, and I think now,
to be more accurate, I should have omit—
ted twu or three days between each, feed
ing no grain, fur the glands-are not always
affectedby-food given immediately; but
I have found corn fed, to steers three days
ago remaining in 5§their stomachs. Yet,
again, I have found some roots and bulbs,
if taken a very short time before milking,
to affect the same. I must say they are
a little unsatisfactory to me, yet I con-
ducted the trials quite carefully. I gave
six trials and they averaged five days
each. My cows were not milked by
the clock, (as Mrs. McCready’s are) but
as near the time as convenience
would allow. In each trial the bay given
was of the same quality and quantity; in
fact, the care, etc., were generally alike.
They were milked but once per day. The
cows selected were all natives but one,
and she was a guide Jersey. You will
observe the yield of milk to be. limited,
but the periods of lactation Were for ad.
vanced, for they were to come in the
latter part of May to the let of June.
Experiment or trislNo. 1 was from Feb-
ruary 18m to 2lst. Feed, four quarts of
rice feed per day. Their average was
thirty eight and one-half poun'd's‘bf . milk
per day. Trial No. 2, from February 2let
to 35th. Feed, four quarts. of' rice feed
and one pint of cotton seed meal. Aver—
age forty-two and one-half pounds of milk
per day; Trialv.No."‘-3,v frbmtiih‘e'bruary
26th ,thdi-ch 3d. _§Fecd,__four quarts
of buckwheat bran and One pint of cotton
seed 'meal. Average forty-six pounds of
milk. Trial No. 4, from March 4th to
10th. Feed, four quarts' of buckwheat
bran, no cotton seed meal. Average
forty-three pounds per day» , Trial No. 5,
from March 11th to '14th,_I-_*fe'd-on 31:1:li
ture of equal parts of rice feed, corn~5and
cob and buckwheat bran, with one pint of
cotton seed meal. Result, an average of
thirty-eight pounds of milk per day"
Trial No 6, March 15th to 19th, same feed
as No. 5, but gave one quart of cotton
seed meal. Average forty pounds.
The main object of these trials was to
see the value of cotton seed meal. 'If this
contains about three times the amount
of fat of corn meal, and will increase
the supply. of milk to equal the cost of
feed, why is it not to our interest to know
this—tbcsooncr the heifer? Trial No.
2, compared with ,No. l, overbalsnces it
by four pounds of milk per day. III this
case 1 fed with six pounds of cotton seed,
costing nine cents, and gottwo quarts "(if
milk, theuiilk costing four and one-half
cents perquart. In trial No. 3 the buck-
wheat bran worked well with the cotton
seed meal, but in No. 4 with the meal left
off (but otherwise the same feed as No 3)
the losa was three pounds. In this case
the milk cost six cents a quart, but you
are greatly supporting your cow from
this feed. :ln trial 6 you see one quart
of milk costs nine dents, but they were
fast drying up, aniii cIOsed these trials. \
Below I give a sibgle trial of another
fresh cow—high grade Jersey, milked
twice per day—shuntMarch 24th to April?“ .
1st. Feed, four quarts of line feed and ;
coarse wheat bran, cqlial parts, night and
morning. She averaged thirty-three and
one-half pounds per day. At this time I
sold her for $80, March 30th. I fed her
six quarts and lhrowed her off her feed.
She refused grain for two days. .Of
course these are but feeble experiments
but they are such as l have made—they
cost nothing but have made me some
trouble. ‘ .
Some discussion arose as to milk-produ—
cing,when Dudley remarked that he found
sowed eorndid not increase the supply of .
milk, but did butter. It was-aggecd .that
. pumpkins would increase-both. "
Adjourned until Monday evening,
October 29.
THE GENTLEWOMAN’S DRESS.
The dress of the real gentlewoman, the
truly refined and sensible of her sex, says
Clara Bell in the Cincinna‘tti Enquirer, is
- ‘ ‘ - ' fshion. The first. . . .
DOVLI’ m ”L height or a ’ ' ' ’ and hurr‘I'inghhomc to her brotherfs bed-
studymf suchdwomhd is to :secklthe _be-‘_
‘couuhg; her secOn’dith‘oug‘ht the goqd':
her last what Is merely fashionable. She
cleverly adapts the fashion to herself. She
will not stoop to make herself a mere
figure for the modistc to hang her wares
on. She has a law in her own mind,
higher than the law of fashion. She
wears many fine things, but probably the
most becoming of them have been fash-
ioned by her own taste, frequently
finished, perhaps by her own deft fingers,
or at least she has carefully superintended
their manufacture. Many an envious
neighbor may have glanced at heritagtef a1
toilets, cynically obscrviug:-‘§‘Hcr7‘poi>r
husblnd working so hard and she spend-
ing his earnings in French fripperies‘."
All this while her costume is rarely tier,
never very costly, often not even new,
for the, genuine gentlewoman remembers
thef‘bi'e‘ud I-winuer" and home maker, the
husband who toils
But whatever she wears is prettily
made, and never deckedwithgaudy 'tinv
sel, trumpery lace and sham .jcwels. All
is fresh and simple, good of their kind,
collars, cuffs, frills and cuffs alike faultless. .

takes care that her plaincst and cheapest
dress shall be well out. She need not be
beautiful or even accomplished, but we
will answer for her being even tempered,
sensible, and that very rare jewel in the
present fast going days, a “perfect lady,"
a “gentlewoman” in its fullest and best
sense.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
\Vusbington is the unfailing baronu-lr-r
0f the atmosphere of national politics.
It is the Canter of political gossip and
journalism, and toward which the whole
country turns for authoritaliw prognodi
cations on every phase of political scuti
meat. Just now the town is as dull as
only Washington c-xn be. The advent of
congress and the social season are in pros-
pect and will add new life and attractions
The stirring questions that grew out of the
war have passed into history. Washing-
ton is no longer the. field of brilliant jour~
nalism. The time was when the nation
hung breathless over the vital problems of
the reconstructive period land‘npon the
frauds and rascalitics of men in power.
Those issues are new (lead, and, the new
questions of nationalpolicy are more of a
routine nature. and less abso'rbihg to all
classes-of the people. The topics of the
tariff, lot thcidollar and 'civIl service re-
form, although important and far reachg
iIg, will not so shake the foundatious‘of
national existence.
Society is in a fcrmcul. of preparation
for the winter campaign. The hotels have
been refurnishing and everybody is busy'
getting a house or else putting one in or-
der. ft is a stereotyped expression to say
that the season is promising, but there
seems unusual ground for that assurance
this time Washington nevur before had so
many people of wealth and positionio make
a social nucleus, and accessions are. con-
‘stantly being announced, ~» In fact, it is not
only the political center, but it is. or seen
will be the social center of the country. It
has 8 population of 150,000. Of these,
10,000 are in the employ of the depart-
ments, making, perhaps, 50,000 who di-
rectly or indirectly derive their livelihood
There" are. no”; nianuffictriilng "imam
there and only such business as leinei-
dent to the necessities and luxuries of a
city of wealth, 'ndr‘v ifiplay. It follows,
then, thit u ’2,er large proportion of this
100,000‘;pcrf'IODs make up the society
which naturally flocks to the glare and,
glitter of the seat of government. 116314T
dreds of people of' wealth have perm?
neatly moved there from the state .3»:
They gecupy finchouscs, live on their in-
chine , j‘cntéi‘tain according to their
degreého’f‘social ambition. The society
is so fluctuating that entrance to it is an
. easy matter if one has money or manners.
Living it comparatively cheap, and it is a
popular fallacy that it takes a fortune to
be recognized. In neither Boston nor
’New York will people of economical fen-
dcucies fare so well. Political rank, 8
title in the army or navy, will command
social prestige, and no such lavish expen
diturc is required as in commercial centers.
-'Wu'sumgton "is one ofr-thc most beauti-
ful of, American cities. In fact, the typi-’
cal American does not hesitatef’to compare
it" with Paris. It is especially beautiful
just now. Speciallittention ispaid‘ to the
cultivation of trees alou’g its broad, chan
and well paved;Strcets,,'. Tue avenues and
parks are ablaze with crimson and gold-—
the glory of the dying year. The bronze
men on the bronze horses (Each has a
square of grass and flowers. The leaves
will fall and the bricks and mortar will
haVe no relief to their nakedness. The
varied and usually flue architecture of the
avenues will save the city from being
wholly destitute in the winter. The char-
acter of the great number of buildings
that have gone up with the building boom
is worthy of being commended to other
cities. There are no repulsive, monoto-
’nous rows'Of blink and stone fronts. It
seems as though one common public pur

alike. So there are bay windows of every.
pattern, and all sorts of cupolss and Ve-

effect. ’
SAD LIVES BEHIND ROUGE AND FOWDER.
Joc Howard, in one of his interesting
letters, draws a graphic yet emphatic pic-
ture of the home-life of actors and metre:-
scs. To him, the actclr’s life is, in the
mainland. Men .with 'cofllns at home
make the. audience roar at their antics.
Women, asking in every musclc,excite the
envious admiration of audiences by the
grace ,and beauty Of theirprese‘n‘tations.
Under the cheericst circumstances it isa
dog’s life, and Howard shows it by the
following incidents: “I know of a sister
whoac name is familiar to every theatre
goer, who played a rollicking role .at night
side and .zhi'm as. he died wilhin'half an
hour after the fall of the curtain, resting
his pullid forehead against her painted
cheek. Not only this, but she played the
following day at a matinee and again at
night, and was never thanked by the man-
agrment nor looked upon by anyone as
having done anything at all extraordinary.
During the Iong'fl or 10 months of the
'season, married actresses can have no com
fort with their children; no. intercourse
with them. I resd‘zi :d'rgybr two ago a
story of a girl who was called to a Sunday
night rehearsal. Her father was very ill,
{but the rental of their rooms, the fees for
the doctor and money for the drugs dc-
pendcd upon her attending to her busi-
ness. It was imperative that she should
be in the theatre at half-past seven. Having
arranged the room as women only can
having placed upon u tube by the bedside
of her father his medicine, she kissed him
good-bye, and with a loving touch prom-
ised to be back as early as possible. You
know what’sunday night rehearsals mean.
They mean one, two, three, four o clock
the next day. . nThst is what this one
meant. , The, girl hastened home. The
candle-light hud;gone,'I-the'cold gray of the
esrljfmoifhfngj ilightr‘was iii the room, the
fdthe'r. win-idesdbpon the bed}?

SOMEWHAT MIXED. ,
An Ohio man, who had visited Gotham
and got many new ideas, returned heme
and remarked mostof his gddds,‘ so that
he could say the price of this and that
was so much, with so much-off. Emmy
thing seemed to work pretl y well for a
week or so, when one of the clerks said
he needed a little more posting. '
"For instance,”._lic exclaimed, "we are
giving twenty off on all woodenware.”
“Yes."
“And pails are twenty cents apiece 1"
“Yes."
“'l‘bcn cvory time a man wants a pail
1 give him many cents ?’
"JIIIIIes‘ are you a born fool 'f" demand"
(-d the merchant.
“No, ~‘ir I" was the prompt reply, “I've
got rid of the eight dozen pails we had
stored up stairs in less than r. week, and
ham: promised five dozen more. If you
have a clerk who pleases customers more
than I do, trot him out."

, THE RESULT.-
From Wednesday's Gazette Extra.
After one of the most desperately fought
elections ever witnessed hereabouts, the
“grand old pulty" cram-s out wilh Mr.
Baker (it's candidate for senator) defeated
by a beggarly TEN votes. In the box at
the Town House, TWELVE Republican
votes for Baker were found in the Repre
sentativc box. ' Bur ron 'rms BLUNDERING
Baker’s majority would have been TWO
in the district. The official vote may
vary the close majority, but it is not like-
ly to change the result and Mr. Hyutt’fl
vote can be safely relied upon to be given
for a democratic United States Senator in
1885. “What can’t be cured must be en
dured.” To those zealous and faithful
Republicans who ' stood‘ steadfastly by
their principles against the most unblush-
ing treachery, too much praise cannot be
awarded. To those professing fealty to
their party and who betrayed If, it is use-
less to say or do more than leave them to
the upbruidings Of theiry'own better re
fiectionsl If the successful candidate has
the capacity and maulincss to hear his '
honors, so desperately and closely-won,
with becoming dignity, it will do much to
atone for the many disreputable methods
introduced into the canvass.
From all the indications at the present
writing, it would seem that Mr. Swarfz is
elected in the county by fully seven hun-
dred majority. There is a fitness in this
perhaps, as most of the criminals he will
be called upon to care for, will undoubt-
edly be of his own party, and if in the im-
probable event, that any renegade or other
republ' an it Jobs hung, everybody will
agredthst Swi‘rli would dolit as tenderly
as any” other'i‘nan.
The reelection of Messrs. Cowles and
Bell in Norwalk, 13.8 cause of special con-
gratulation, as is the election of that stir-
ring young republican Ambler in too
often uncertain Wilton. Stamford, New
Canaan, Westpbr‘t and Fairfield have done
magnificently, and old Stratford gives her

A slightly damp cloth rubbed over a

One of the best ways to cure sore
throat Is as follows: wring a cloth out of
salt and cold water, and keeping it quite
wet bind tightly about the neck. Cover
this with a dry cloth. ‘It is best to use
this remedy in the night.
A young lady of fashion has introduced
the wearing of worsted hoods during very

and long crochet'cnds, which are twisted
artistically about thoneck."
A’ woman who desires a clear complex-
ion must give up having a small waist,
unless she has it without lacing. Tight
lacing gives— one a red nose. And who

A lovely autumn costume seen at Mr.
Beecher": church last Sunday was made
of deep crimson velvet About the plain
skirt was a band ten inches broad, made
entirely of velvet autumn leavus to repre-
sent the maple. 'l‘hc barque had long
panels, ornamented in the same way, the
band not being quite so broad. A cluster
of natural autumn leaves was worn at the
carnage, and the little bonnet of garnet
velvet was ornamenlcd by a cluster of
the velvet, leaves, The long terra-cotfa
gloves were embroidered Iu autumn leaves
with floss silk. The effect of this toilet,
which was worn- by a pretty brunette,
was very striking.
' ‘ LITERARY NOTES.
Mark Twain is writing another play.
The Century will publish Mr. Howell’s
new story.
Miss Ella Wheeler, the Western poutess
has received $2,000 for her “Poems of
Passion.”
Mr. W. H.Mullock is a. candidate on
the Conservative side as a member of the
English Parliament.
Tennyson’s loam, written for the
Youth's Companion, and for which he
received a check for $1,000, is said to be
a beautiful lyric.
Mr. Blaine is writing upon his book,
“Twentchsrs in Congress,” from 9 until
1 every day. He revises his work as he
goes on, and employs no secretary.
The writer of the stories which appear
from time to time with the name of Mrs.
Agnes May Fleming as author, is con-
fronted with the declaration of a friend
of Mrs. Fleming’s that after her death a
member of her family sold the right to
use her name.
It is rather more than probable that the
author of “The Bread Winners”is the very
bright young lady who wrote “Au Earnest
Trifler." The style of the story is hers,
and if the conversation is not as strikIngly
entertaining as that of her first work, it is
because she wishes to assume a new
disguise.
The editress of the Gaffer-mks, the
magazine which was merged into. the
Overland Monthly, was Miss Milicent
Wushburne Shinn, well-known to the
' literary world'by her charming poems in
the monthly magazines. MissShinn was
,in New York several years ago and made
Emsny friends in literary choice. This
lady was probably the youngest magazine
editrels in the country.

Public Benefactx‘ess. Mrs. 5-

Q and thousands are this day rejoicmg
overa fine head of hair produced by
her unequaled preparation for restor-
ing, invigorating, and beauufyin g the
Hair. Her World's Hair Restorer
quickly cleanses the scalp, removing
Dandruff, and. arrests the fall; the
hair, ifgrny,i3 changed to its natural
color, giving it the same vitality and
luxurious quantity as in youth.
COMPLIMENTARY. “My
hair is now restored to its
' youthful cOlor; I have not
a gray hair left. I am sat-
isfied that the preparation
is not a dye, but acts on
the secretions. My hair
ceases to fall, which is cer-
tainly an advantage to me,
who was in danger of be-
coming bald.” This is
the testimony of' all who
use Mrs. S. A. ALLEN’S
WORLD'S HAIR RESTORER.
“Ono Bottle did it." Thatisrhe
expression of many who have.
their gray hair restored to its natural

How Watch Cases are Made.
In buying' a. silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
silver cases is made of a composition known
as albata, which is a. very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in a short time.
The backs of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another iniportant point
in asilvcr case is the joints or fringes, which
should be made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are made of silver, whichsis
not a suitable metal for that purpose. In
a brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the ease and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The
Keystone SilverVVatclI Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.

111 the passage through the. English Chan-
nel, northwest of Ireland, some two hundred
miles from land, stands a lone rock, rising
some fifty feet above th‘elevel of the sea,
called by navigators "Bockal." Its form is
conic, having the appearance of a sugar-loaf,
or light-house, in the distance. '
Ships, sometimes, when under gbod head~
way, with a steady, flowing breeze, venture
to draw close up with this singular rock in
the ocean. The sea makes up its glassy
sides, as it probably has been doing ever since
the deluge, which has given it the appearance
of a glassy polish as seen from every point.
This rock has always been a terror to the
mariner when in its vicinity during a storm-
What a tragic story it could tell, if it were
intelligible, of the ten thousand terriflic
storms, and ten thousand times ten thousand
raging seas rushing on all its sides; and how
hundreds of heavily laden ships, with one
bound in a driving storm, dashed in pieces,
and the poor,» heart-stricken mariners, Im-
warned and unprepared, engulfed at its
base-their sad and tragic story never to be
known until the resurrection of the dead!
And yet it stands as unmoved and undis-
turbed as when it was first fashioned by its
Creator. ' ,
I once went to see a huge boulder, which
reposes, solitary and alone, in the forest two
miles north of Conway, New Hampshire. It
is the biggest boulder in the State, and we
believe the biggest one in this section of the
country._ It is as large as a good-sized
house. From whence it came, and-how and
when it settled into its present position, is a
mystery which ndprns it with a garb of abso-
lute solemnity.
Theory supposes that masses of ice rolled
it from some distant mountain, when the
great flood passed over from north to south.
Tradition says that a man- by the name of
Chase bore it from Hiram Falls to this
place, and when passing through the forest
his strength gave way, and he dumped it
down on the spotuvliere it now rests.
Both theory and tradition possess sub-
limity, but the former is most likely to be
correct. A .. , °

TEE SAND-FLY 0F BAGDAD.
——.~.
It is commonly said that there are no bugs
in Arabia, the dry heat killing them all off;
and certainly an the names given for the
creature in Arabic dictionaries are either
taken from the Turkish or manufactured.
Consideringwhat a. vast field for blood-suck-
ers" is Bsgdad, and what myriads of this par-
ticular species are constantly coming into it,
if dfily from Bombay; in the boxes of trav-
ellers and pilgrims, what becomes of them
all is a problem in natural history, any:
' thing like extreme heat, even supposing
that to have the efiect alleged, occurring
only between June and September. Any-
how, it was a comfort to feel safe on that
score at least interning in for the night in a
billet which, if there had been a member of
the family in all Bagdad, looked as if it
would have been sure to hold him. But
morning brought the discovery that, if the
bug was absent, he was represented by b
sand-fly withabody hardly bigger than a
mite’s, a. pair of wings like tiny sails, and a
poison-injecting and blood-sucking appa-
ratus of extraordinary calibre.
Some ascribe to the injection of a poison
by this insect the singular ulceration of the
skin to which natives of Bagdad, especially
in childhood, are liable, and which seldom
fails to attack E' andother strangers
during the first year of their residence.
Either from the season when these sores
generally break out being that when the date
is nearly rips, or from the scar left by them
resembling that fruit in size and contour,
they are commonly spoken of as “dutch
sores.” The number of people in Bagded
whose faces are more or less disfigured in
this way, frightens most new-comers.
Hitherto the result of medical and surgica.
prpctiee has gone to show that whatever con-
stitutional, climatic, or external cause or
causes depending, the affliction, like so many
others, isbest left alone. In the healthy
it runs its course in about a year, sometimes
only one sore appearing, but oftener a sue-
cemioii'of them. They are not painful or
dangerous; and except when on tender
spots‘b‘r on parts essential to locomotion,-
uafives qt Bagdsd seem not to mind them;—

THE CHEROKEE ROSE.
A plowing feature of Florida is the bean-
tiful and fragrant Cherokee miss that abounds
inthe whole peninsula. The Cherokee tribe
of Indians dwelt from 500 to 1,000 miles
further north, in what is now North Geor-
gia, and ip adjacent regions, now comprised
in Tennessee and North Carolina. How '
camellia Florida rose to bear the name of
Cherokee? The legend is that the Seminoles,
living in the low country, now Florida, went
on the war path against the Cherokees,
entered their country innd fought a battle.
A young Seminole brave was taken prisoner
and carriedtothe Wigwam of a Cherokee
chief. He was doomed to be put -to death.
But the custom of the tribe was not to exc-
cutc captives when sick. The young war-
rior, being sick, was spared till he should
recover, when death would be ”inflicted on
him. The chief had a daughter who at
tended him in his illness, and the two fell in
love. When convalescent and able to travel,
the young brave determined, with her eon-
nivance, to make hisescape, and return to
his own people. She consented to elope
with him. One dark night they started from
her father’s abode.
After they had gone some distance the.
young woman stopped and expressed aneur-
nest desire to go back to her home and bear
away some memento of the place. Retrac-
ing their steps, she plucked a small rose.
bush that she brought away. They carried
it to the Seminole country, where, being
planted, it grede flourished. Frém this
root the variety was propagated, and, in
course of time, it spread through the penin-
sula, where it thrives and blooms at the
present day. It is universally styled the
Cherokee rose. ‘

Bad noises, bad air, bud smells, bad light

ailments. The feeling of heroism 'which is
created by the magnanimity of overcoming
great evils will sometimes make thinking
easy. It is not the sorrow's but the annoy-
ance of life which impede. Were I told that
the bank had broken in which my little all
was kept for me, I could sit down and write -
my love story with almost a sublimated vis-
ion of love; but to discover that I had given
half a. sovereign instead of Sixpence to a
cabman would render a great effort neces-
sary before I would find fitting words for a.
lover. These little lacerations of the spirit,
not the deep wounds, make the difficulty.

Joneses and all the Smiths is sounding in

down my pen, and cast my thoughts disre-
