CAUSE AND EFFECT OF Poor MILK
The milk of cows kept stabbed, OF
where the phosphate of lime is ex
hausted, becomes putrid, and when ex
amined through microscope, contains
globules of corrupted matter, which is
only eaten, because general y unknown
to exist. The effect of it on infants
and children who use it daily for food,
is weakness, sickness and premature
death. A child might as we'll be put
to wet nurse in the last stages of
consumption, as to be fed on such milk.
So great has this evil become, that
in some cities where cows are kept
for life on slops, without access to the
ground, the sale of their milk has been
prohibited by law. But how great
must have been the evil, how many
of helpless infants must
have been sent to untimely graves, be-
fore the attention Of legislators was
called to the subject land the worst
of all is that it is the helpless infant
who has neither knowledge nor power
to choose, that is the sufferer. A
handful Of bone meal, put into the food
Of each cow, two or three times a
week, would partially remedy the evil.

SEED PorAroEs.-Charles Seager, OF
St. Louis, recommends the following
easy-tried method Of improving pota-
toes, so as to restore them to their
original soundness, richness and meali-
ness:
"The plan is this Keep back some
seed potatoes for six or seven weeks
after the usual time of planting, say
till the last week of June, or the first
week Of July, them plant and cultivate
them as stock potatoes. They will
grow until the stock withers the vines,
when they should be dug. AS they
have not had time to mature, they
will be quite small, not more than an
inch or an inch and half through,
but they should be all carefully gather
ed, and planted at the usual time of
planting in the spring kept safe from
frost through the winter, and one Of
the small potatoes being sufficient for
seed in each hill. The result will be
large sized, sound, mealy potatoes,
as Ihave proven by actual experiment
| hope it will be tried by some Of our
farmers this year."

IRVING AND THE ALEXANDRIA.

A correspondent Of the National In.
telligencer writing from Granda, in
Spain, makes the following allusion to
Washington Irving and the Alhambra: ::
We did not leave the enchanted
ground without visiting, in token Of
our respect for his genius and worth,
the rooms occupied by Mr.. Irving dur
ing his three months residence in the
Alhambra. We next visited the Gen.
eraliffe, summer residence of the
Moorish kings, which overlooks the
extensive precincts of the A|hambra.
The view is even more extensive than
that from the fortress, and the air is
refreshed by the cool waters Of the
Darro, which rush along in numerous
artificial channels, while the ear is
charmed with their incessant melody
| cannot conceive more delightful
summer abode than the Generalitfe,
with its hanging gardens, its terraces,
its shady bowers, its bubbling foun-
tains, and ever fascinating prospects.
Its owner, the Marquis de Compejar-
now residing in Genoa-claims to be
descended from the Moorish kings, and
his quaint looking genealogical tree
may be seen in one of the chambers
of the villa. We came to "see the
sights" and seen they must be. So
we went to the noble cathedral, where
the object that most interested us was
the Chapel of the Kings. Here are
the sepulchral monuments of Ferdi-
nand and Isabella, of Philip and Juan
ma. The sword, sceptre, and crown Of
Ferdinand were placed in our hands,
and in the sacristy Of the cathedral
we were shown the gilded, painted,
and jewelled doll, the girl Isabella's
plaything. We descended into the
vault where the bodies of those sove-
reigns repose, in the same lead, iron
bound collins in which they were first
deposited. "Small space" (exclaim-
ed their grandson, the Emperor Charles

nance and literature, have been Gull

The air is cooled by the breath of foun-

Great carelessness is too often dis
played in keeping stock, not only in
cleanliness, but in feeding and water
ing them. The truth is, the farmer
must not be lazy or drunken, or in
the habit of minding others business
and neglecting his own. We do not
mean to say that farmer should al.
ways be at work by no means
there are duties as holy and impera.
tive as providing food for his wife
and children; his mind and theirs
must be cared for, and improved and
developed but his attention to his
business is just what will enabled
him to do it. If he neglects to inn
prove the mind at the proper time,
it is worse than to neglect his corn,
his potatoes, his stock, or his fences,
but he is not obliged to neglect them.
A good body and good mind, with
the proper stimuli for both, should
be the aim of every man, whether
farmer or tradesman, merchant or
lawyer-Zoeca Farmer.

Biographical.
DANIEL WEBSTER.

Daniel Webster was born in the
small town of Salisbury, New Hamp-
shire, on the 18th of January, 1882
His father was hardy New England
farmer, dwelling in rugged climate
and extracting from cold and reluc.
tant soil the maintenance of a large
and growing family. Daniel, as soon
as he was old enough, shared the ar.
duous duties of the farm, getting his
education from the winter school which
was situated two and half miles from
his home. Possessed of remarkable
memory and decided aptness to learn,
he read every thing that came in his
way, and, before he was fourteen, could
repeat by heart several considerable
volumes of poetry. About this time
he entered Philips Academy, at Exc.
ter, then under the charge of the ven
erable DR.. Abbot, and for whom Mr..
Webster ever retained the profoundest
respect and esteem. After studying
the classics under the Rev. DR.. Woods,
of Boscawcn, New Hampshire, he en-.
tered Dartmouth College, at Hanover,
New Hampshire, in 1897, then fifteen
years old. He passed through college
without any special promise of his fu.
ture greatness, if we except that close
and severe attention to the matter in
hand, for which he was so remarkable
throughout his long and eventful life.
Deciding upon the law as his future
field Of labor, he read while in the
Office of the village lawyer in his ma
tive town, and completed his legal
course under the eye of Hon. Christie
pher Gore, of Boston. In March, 1906,
he was admitted to the Suffolk BAR
Not ambitious Of city practice, he
opened an office in Boscawen, and af-
ter a while removed to Portsmouth,
New Hampshire, in 1907, in which
year he was admitted to practice in the
Supreme Court of New Hampshire
He resided in Portsmouth for nine
years in which time he established his
reputation as sound lawyer and an
able advocate.
In 1918, Mr.. Webster was elected
to seat in the national House of Rep
resentatives and here his public life
dates it's commencement. He entered
Congress during the most exciting Pc
riod--just after the declaration of war
against England-and found there a
brilliant array of talent. Henry Clay
was in the speakers chair, and around
him sat Calhoun, Forsyth, Grundy,
Pickering, and others, whose names
form brilliant diadem of talent and

Cows HOLDING UP THEIR MILK.-I
once had a COW from which l could
not get drop of milk. I fed her,
coaxed her, and tried by all the gentle
means could think of, but all in vain
the milk would not come. l discover.
ed that she held her milk by contract
ing her muscles, and in so doing, she
rounded up her back. The thought
struck me, that if l could keep hel
back straight, she could not retain her
milk and by the way Of experiment,
| held the sharp corner of small
stick of wood on her back with one
hand, and while milking with the
other, found she had not the power to
hold her milk. then sawed a piece
of wood just long enough to reach the
flooring overhead to the cows back,
as she stood in her natural position,
fastened one end of the board to the
flooring, by a leather hinge, hewed
the other out thin and sharp like a
wedge, and let it hang over the COW.
When commenced milking she would
attempt to raise her back to contract
the muscles but the wedge-like end of
the board was more than a match for
her. She could not round her back,
nor retain her milk, and ina few days
was entirely cured Of the evil habit

HINTS TO FARMERS.

Carelessness in farming, as il
every thing else, is productive 0
great evil. But of all classes of persons
who should be free from careless hab
it's, it is the farmer. The seasons
must be closely observed-the seed
planted in the proper season-the
requisite culture to the crops must
be given at the right time or it does
no good-they must be harvested
when ripe or they are wasted or de.
Perforated. Manure must be con.
stantly taken charge Of Barns, sta.
bles, wagon-houses, tool-houses, &C.,
should be kept neat, and every farm
er have a covering for his wagons,
carts, implements, harnesses, &c.
There is no time lost by maintaining
order on the farm and in the buildings
connected Herewith. Many farmers
will leave plow or harrow in the
field where he has last used it, until
the rust has injured it's value, and he
thus loses more than to spend the
time in putting it under shelter be-
sides nothing is made by such care
lessness even in point Of time, for
when an implement is wanted, much
time is wasted, in hunting it, and too
often it cannot be found at all.
Every farmer should have tool
house, and place in it for every i'm
plement, and everything should be
kept in it's place, unless in use, and
the invariable rule should be to return
it when done using it. Repairs must be
made when needed fences must be
righted wagons creased cows card
ed; and all of them fed at the right
time.
These are small matters, butt should
be remembered mans life is almost
made up of things apparently trifing
in themselves, but when considered as
links in the chain of cause and effect,
they are of serious import. A minute
is very short space Of time, but min
utes make up eternity. An atom is
inconceivably small, but an infinite
number Of atoms constitute the grand
system of worlds known and unknown.
In Agriculture there is probably
enough wasted every year in the
United States to keep all the poor
and starving in our land in good
healthy condition. A gentleman Of
keen observation informed us, that he
had travelled through many of our
Western States, and he was surprised
at the carelessness displayed by farm
ers who had opportunities for knowing
better. AS sample, one man had
Hussey's Reaper, for which he had
paid over hundred dollars, and had
kept it exposed to the sun and rain
for whole year, because he had no
place to put it. Whereas an energetic
man for a trifling expense, could in a
few hours, have made shelter that
would secure it from the weather.

There's Nothing Lost.

There's nothing lost. The tiniest flower
That grows within the darkest vale,
Though lost to view, has still the power
The rarest perfume to exhale;-
That perfume, borne on zcphyr's wings,
May visit some lone sick ones bed,
And like the balm affection brings.
Twill scatter gladness round her head
Theirs nothing lost. The drop of dew
That trembles in the rosebud breast
Will seek its home of ether blue,
And fall again as pure and blest;
Perchance to reyel in the spray,
Or moisten the dry parching sod,
Or mingle in the fountain spray,
Or sparkle in the bow of God.
There's nothing lost. The faintest strain
Of breathings from some dear ones lutte
In memory's dream may come again,
Tho every mournful sting be mute
The m usic of some happier hour
The harp that tswells with loves own word
May thrill the soul with deepest power,
When still the hand that swept its cords
