Cows have Power to Hold Up
their Milk.

1t is known to many farmers that. when
young cows first come in, when the calves
are taken away, they will hold up their milk
inr a short time, aud some will almost dry
themselves before they will give it down.-
A few years ago, | bought young COW
which proved to he very wild, and when
took away her first Calf, she would not give
down her milk | had heard it remarked
that putting weight on the cows back
would make her give her milk down. lac
cordngIy dove her into The stable, and put
bushel of grain on her backs buLnot be.
ing heavy enough, took it off and put my
elbows in the centre of her back and bore
on till she followed in her back.
While she was kept in this position, she
had no pow er to hold up her milk: for il
came down freely. After doing this a lev
times, and afterwards putting my hand or
the back of the COW, it would give way and
she would Immediately give down her milk

Dreaming for a BroalEfaat.

Down in Aroostook county, Maine, 4
Scotchman and an lrishman happened to
be Journeyng together through the most
lntermlnabIe forests of that region, aud by
some mishap had lost their way, and had
wandered about in starving condition for
while, when they fortunately came across
a miserables howell which was deserted save
by lone chicken As this poor bned was
the only thing eatable to be obtained, they
eagerly despatched aud prepared ii for sup.
per When laid before them, Pat cnncIu-
ded that it was insufficient for the supper Of
both himself and Sawney aud therefore
made proposition 10 his companion that
they should spare their chicken until the
next morning, and the one who had the
most pleasant dream would have the chicken,
which was agreed to by the Scolchman.-
In the morning Sawney told his dream
said he thought angels were drawing him
to heaven in basket, and was never be-
fore so happy in his life, Upon concluding
his dream, Pat exclaimed, Och. sure and
be Jabers, | saw you goin T., and thought
you wouldn't come back after the chacken,
