The bleeding is paid to be perfect, and,
according to the authority quoted, no ex

and painful methods.
Dow to Secure Yellow Iiutter.
Guerns ey Breeder affirms that the color
fades out of the skin and ears of cow
bt fore it docs oxit cf the butttr. Cevrs of
all breeds pale as to their skin color when
kept upon dry fodder, especially in win
ter. There is really no cow feed or butter
feed equal to grass or grass and hay, and
for securing the required golden color in
skin and butter in winter, adds the au
thority quoted from, nothing is equaJ. to
quick jjrown shade cured hay.
Shade cured hay is that which as son
as it is well wilted is raked into winurovs,
and rolled into good sized cocks while hot
from the snn, after, perhaps, once or
twice turning in the windrows. T1V3
cocks being watched to prevent heat
ing in dry weather may bo shaken
out, tossed well to the air, but not
spread about ranch, every preen lock,
however, being found and shaken out
light. In rainy wtmthcr or dnmp weather
the cocks mut-t be made solid and pointed,
and should be protected by caps. Such
hay will be fit to house nearly as quickly
as that which is dried out by the hot sun
shine, fo that ner.ily all the leaves and
heads of the clover are either broken off
and left in the Held or ground to dust in
handling and treading upon the hay on
the load end in the mow. Good shade
cured hay is very green and dry, but not
brittle. It may bo twisted hard and show
no moisture, while it will show a flexibil
ity and toughness entirely fortign to dried
out, sun cured hay.
Other articles of food have great effect
on butttr and skiu color. Lawn clippings
are excellent; ensilage has some effect;
carrots have- a great tffect; pumpkins are
famous for yellowing butter; long red and
yellow globe mangles tiro useful; yellow
cornmeal is to be highly commended, and
a system of extra good feeding always
proloncs the period of high colored but
ter. There are, however, certain articles
which effect a loss of color at once; green
corn fodder, dry corn fodder, steamed,
any steamed fodder, and probably a good
many other things.

AN APPLE TPiKE.
Ja'ques was not a bad fellow, only a littlo
hasty and rosibling his first impulsos with
difllcalty. A law student, working very dil
ideally and imbued with Schopenhauer's
philosophy, his lifo was a hard one. In netxl
of money, ho gave lessons; in brief, ho ate of
that cow that no inoculation had been able
to preserve from madness. To "eat of a
mad cow"' in French means to nduro hard
ship. Htill ho was not at heart a bad fel
low. But his burden had begun to feel very
heavy, and now and then thoro were revolts
whieh liiijjht, on occasion, as one could sx;c,
lead him a little too far. Ono Katurdsy in
the Eiiramor, with stomach and panjo both
empty, fuming over a little excursion pro
jected for tho morrow in which ho couIJ
tako no part, bocauso ho had no money, ho
set out to walk about Paris, and keeping on
a Btraight road, passed through tho fau
liourgs, and finally, Rt 8 o'clock in the
evening, found himself on tho plain of Au
t erviiliura. on a long and barren highway.
Then, us bad luck would havo it, rain began
to fail in big drops, and at about tho samo
moment tho thunder rumbled. Jacques
was not easily frightened; ho had no prejudice:-,
and ho cared little for thunderbolt:-.,
but considerably for tho rain, which
leaked through his clothing precious in
an economic scn.se and for his skin,
which was a feeble defense again.' t pneumo
nia. No protection anywhere; to right and
left tho plain, broad and linked. At kit.t, by
gotxl lack, a tree tho only an applo tree,
bending over slightly, a good devil of an
applo tree, which rcsomhlo.l a tqisy fellow,
with h'n hat pitcLod over his ear. Jacques
mauo a little sulnto to tho tree and sheltered
himself under its branches. The storm in
creased in fury. Evidently, however, Jacques,
who wi not a bad fellow, was conscious that
he was cxnser:ited against fate. These things
only happened to him. Ivature, even, was
maliciously disposal toward htm. Ho shoo-t
his riat at tho shadows which tho raiu striped
with steel lines, as you havo seen on the
fctltO.
5-r-r-r! What infernal wratfcer! and an
other man com-?, scolding, to fasten himself
to the trunk of tho appla tree, with his back
turned to Jacqr.es, who hr.d not seen him.
Tno nei. eomer had beeTi feasting. He seemed
to lie a horse dealer who had just concluded a
business matter, as ha growled between his
twth:
"This is very amnslcg; yes, indtxl! And
tiiouo beats wr.o mndo me drink and have
taken my carriage und loft mc to walk homo
in weather like this and with all tliis money
about me !"
Jacques was not a bad fellow. It is ncces
sary to say so onco more, becauro from this
point ono might entertain some doubts as to
his character. Hearing the jabber of his un
known neighbor and convinced that, even
on a jiolito demand, ho could obtain no loan
from him, Jacques gently turned around the
tree, seized tho man by tho throat and, bebig
very strong, strangled him. This prelimj nary
accomplished, he took tho man's purse,
emptied it into his own pocket, throw it
down on tho ground s;ear the body of its
former owner and, an it was growing late,
sot off in the direction of the city.
Tho tree, which had not moved during this
incident, set out to follow Jacques.
It is not a common custom for a troo to
follow a man who has just strangled another
man ; so it would be xui just to accusa Jacques
of weakness under the pretext that he was a
little surprised. Hearing behind him on tho
road tho sliding of tho roots, he turned
around and saw tho troo.
"trood," said he, "it must bo that uy mind
is upset, not being used to those deeds, doubt
lers." Ho set off again and the tree continued to
follow him.
"Either I am a fool," reflected Jacques,
"or what te seen hero is a manifestation that
is Ptill inexplicable on natural grounds. I
shall know all about it pretty soon, because
it is not to be believed that the customs offi
cers, who are calm minded men, will let a
tree pass without at least venturing a re
mark." At the barrier the employe; were not dis
composed. The applo tree did net faeem to
have any of their care, and Jacques and tho
tree fourd themselves in single file in tho
streets of Paris. Jacques then began to think
it over, and said to himself:
"So, then, ic is clearly proved that this
apple tree is a visible form of remorso, like
Banquo appearing to Uacbeth, or the com
mander to Don Juan. This case of hallucina
tion is all the more absurd because I experi
ence no remosac. This apple tree, it seems to
me, misunderstands all tho traditions. Xover
mind. I havo some money now. I shall pass
a comfortable night, aid tho tree, to-morrow
morning, will bo back in its place. Yea
have missed fire, my good fellow."
Ho had. you see, a placid mind, and knew
how to adapt himself to circumstances. Ho
hastened his paco, not to escape from the ap
ple tree, which appeared to have an indefat
igable root, but in order to get to bed the
sooner after having counted, to his satisfac
tion, the money which ho was sifting through
his fingers in lus pocket. Ho reached hi3
house, Kuj de Seino. Before the door, ho
asked luaisolf if tho apple treo would go ia
with him. and ho had something liko a feel
ing of interest for tha tree, thinking of tho
narrowness cf the hallways, in which tho treo
would certainly bruise its branches. He rang,
the doer ojened and closed behind him. The
apple tree remained outside. Jacques smiled.
Reaching Lis room ho discovered, by the liht
of a candle, that what with gold pieces and
crowns the operation Lad yielded him 800
and some odd francs. He was not left in the
lurch that time! Suddenly he reproached
himself for not having thought of his apple
tree, which, in fact, had played its part of an
avenger very discreetly, and raisins the cur-
tarn, r.e looted tnrougri f no window. T no ap
plo treo was on tho sidewalk, walking up and
down very calidy. Jacques even noticed
that it turned aside politely to let pass two
tcrgents do villo.
Jacques went to bed and slept until morn
ing. Toward 0 o'clock lt awoko. Soinelody
was Hiinding on the door. He sat up, hi3
eye still full of sleepiness. "Hollo, there!"
They were hia friends, who were swking him
for the excursion, for which hu had been ablo
to prwurc some resources. In th best of
spirits he opened tho dxir, and a lively dis
cussion was raised while lie dressed himself.
He slipped a few louis in bidjockt and went
down stairs in the bei.t of health. Thu apple
tree, tihi'-h rer.peetfuny awaited him on the
sidewalk, liegan at onco to follow him, liko a
lackey of a well managed household. Jacques,
who had no prejudices, throw it a little smilo
as to an old acquaintance. Srano good na
tured iidy acquaintances awaitl tho young
men, taking, as was projier, their morning
vermouth. Jacques paid the scot, showing u
louis. which was greeted with a cheer.
"Waiter," said J.iequcs, "pour out a glass
for my applo tree."
Tho waiter, not comprehending wlmt ho
meant, seemed vexed. Jacques laughed
loudly. It seemed to him, liesides, that the
apple tree had, with a brarch, waved a gest
ure of refusal. Doubtless it v-a-s a temp rate
applo tree, or ono at least that took iiothi?ig
in the morning They discussl tho pro
gramme for the day, and decided en Nogetit-sur-Marne.
Jacques talked of hiring a coach
for tho l'laco do la liastile. It was as if they
were all under an enchantment.
"Say, you must knit up your roots," siid
Jacques to his apple tree, giving it a friendly
dig with his elbow.
Impassive as ever, tho applo treo held him
self on the curbstone, while they wet olf.
Then it followed the hack at a gentlo trot.
Leaning out of the door Jacques looked at it.
Onco he cried out in a fright. His applo
tree hc.d just missed bruising itself severely.
"V.'hat is the matter with youf asked his
lady friends.
"Don't trouble yourself," said ha. 'fI have
my apple tre-o."
"lie has his applo trie! Ho has his applo
tree!" they repeated with noisy laughter.
At tho railway station the npplo tree di l
not go astray. Jaoqv.e.i found that, after
all, it was orut l on his part thus to overdrive
his tree, for which he began to have an at
tachment. But he wm soon reassured. Tho
apple tree stepped down on the track with
out any ticket, tho rogue! -ml, always
holding to good tradition, kept himself at
tho door of Jacques' compartment, wheeling
about in thsstyh: i,i a body guard following
t!:e king's coach. O-.ly, Jacques, dovoted th
lis ap;de tree, was a little too neglectful of
the ladies in his com pirn, one of whom, hav
ing for him a kindly feeling, reproached
him gently.
"Arc you jealous of my' apple troef asked
he. laughing.
Applo tree! Apple troo! And thoy began to
smg 0:10 of tho::e refrains which enjoy a noisy
popularity. They even improvised lines,
some of w hich were a little too free. Jacques
feared that they would offend his apple tree.
But the tre-j retained its impassibility, all in
good tasto and quite English. Arrived at tho
station, thoro was a frirfhful racket. Janquos
nearly lost hii epple treo. Cut nothing is so
convenient in a throng ks a tail friond. He
saw the tree disengage i:oif adroitly and
tuko its po.j. uuu uio faithful lackey. De
cidedly il was an applo tree worthy of eonfl-d-'ueo.
They all went and settled themselves
in an alehouse on tho Lr.nk of tho Marne.
This time Jacques frit r.iiijelf ill at ease.
AVas it uct uncivil of him tl.Vs to seat himself
comfortably on the terrace selfishly, n:id leave
hi3 anpl.t tree on tha rend, wa'.fcing about ad
i-ls'io v.a.'i its branches clasped behind its
bich? And yet ho did not dare to riso froiu
Lis el.air.
Oh, f-.II:;!i pleasures of youth! Oh, with

lie v.ii even a little over excited, but what
would you? One has rot always choked a
horse dealer tho night before; ono has not al
ways an applo tree that waits standing be
fore one's restaurant. So hi3 somewhat ex
cessive hilarity was excusable, all the more
that his friends of both seres did not fail to
keep the pace with him. Being in a generous
mood he tossed up a gla'B of champagne into
tho branches of his applo tree.
"A canoe, a cane.-! Let's go to the Wolves'
Island."
"No, roi" cried Jacques, who was growing
tender hearted.

"Who J"
"2Iy app"
"Applo tree !
'Perliaps ho dot3 not know
Apple tree!
This is a bore,
but it's funny.
Bravo!"
Jacques blushed slightly. These people
woidd never understand him. He looked at
his apple tree as though to advise with it,
and it seemed to him that the tree did not
dread a littJ? walk on tho wtter, a new way,
doubtless, of moistening its rcoU. The little
boat cast oiT bar mooring-s. The troo leaped
from the bank gracefully and walked on tho
waves, without the least embarrassment.
Jacquos kept his eye on it, ready to oiler a
polo in case of need.
By nightfall, Jacques was abominably
drunk, lie shouted to his friends
"You bcre me, ali of you ! You make me
sick. I cast you of?. I am going away with
my applo tree."
They laughed all the more; they tried to
hold him, but ia vain. The girls., vexed, bh
their lips. He paid no attention to them, the
ungrateful fellow. Night came on. He fol
lowed the edge of the bar.k accompanied by
his apple tree. He exporiencod a genuino
shame, because he staggered horribly, and
v.es humiliated in tho presence of the tree,
which,-having drunk nothing, held itself
constantly erect, with a little affectation of
gravity even. Jacques zigzagged along in a
most deplorable fashion, a few inches from
tho exlge. Feeling the necessity of a support
he stepped up to his apple tree and said, with
clammy lips
"You are my friend, hold me."
And he leaned heavily against the tree.
But his body met only the empty a , he tum
bled over, roiled down the bank, fell into tho
water, had a congestion, and was drowned.
The apple tree, left to itself, went back to
the plain of Aubervilliers. Translated from
