HANDEL.--The Rev. ]. Fountayne was an
enthusiast in mosie, and cultivated most of
all the friendship of musical men, especially
of Handel, who visited him oiIen and had a
great prediictiou for hia society. While
Mnrylebone Gardens (London) we're flourish
ing, the enchanting music of Handel, and
probably of Arne, was often heard from the
orchestra there. One evening, as Fountayne
and Handel were walking together, a new
piece was struck up by the band. Come.
Mr.. Fountayne," said Handel, "let us sit
down and listen to this piece want to know
your opinion of it." Down they sat. and af
ter some time the old parson turning to his
companion said, 1t is not worth listening to
lit is very poor stuff. You are right, Mr..
Pountayne," said Handel, it is very poor
stuff Thought so myself when had finish
ed it," The old gentleman being taken by
surprise, was beginning TO apologize; but
Handel assured hiu4~that there was no neees-
silly, that the mu5ie was,reaily bad, having
been composed hastily, and his time fol pro-
1uction limited and that the opinion given
was as correct as it was honest. The more
We penetrate into the life of Handel the
more We perceive llsaG nc was not easily sat-
isiird with himself

How TO KEEP Cows Geo, Hull ofWest
Springfield is the owner Of five profitable
cows. Mr.. Hull buys oil his cows eat, and
sel their milk. lie has tried the various kinds
OF food usually fed mich cows, and concludes
Indian meal TO be tho best aud ehcnPest.-
Each COW receives six to eight quarts daily,
according to her sire and about ten pounds
cut bay. Stalks and boiled roots are some
times given for change. The meal is al
ways scalded, as it goes much further than
wffrti raw. he HTrHiiffs Fi#sEyii two s'aT-
rels, and boiling water enough poured on It
to nSoistsR the mass. Then the barrels are
filed up with cold water, and is ready for use.
Three pailfulls Of the mixture are given TO
each animal every night and mornings aud as
tho managers are wnter-tight, he turns itinto
the manger upon his cut hay. The cows get
no other drink than this the winter through.
Boiled roots he thinks will not make milk
taste, and one bushcl boiled is worth for milk
one and half bushels raw. This he con.
sders healthy and cheap food for his cows
The secret of making cows milk free and
holding out till near caling time lies mainly
in these three directions, viz milking reg
ular feeding regular and keeping them warm.

GRATING AND TRIMMING Fruit TREES -
An experienced cultvator in Duchess Coun-
~. New York, writes as follows on these sub
jsets -
y" Sciops for grating should be cut in Feb
ruary, which is the right season to insure
their living and doing well they should then
be housed in n cellar until the time for in
sorting them arrives, which, with YOU, might
be by the Last week Of April or the first o
May, and during the latter month. They
should be put only into healthy, vigorous
branches, such you would not care to re-
move from the tree, and thus you will have
an artificial tree that will be ready for bear
Jog in about three yearA
BY removing tco many branches from a
tree injury may be done Careful attention
should be given to this point in Topping the
branches preparatory to grazing, in order
that the sap may pass into the remaining
branches and keep the tree healthy and grow
ing. / give you these ideas, knowing that
fruit trees are often injured by those who go
about the country making it their business to
set gratis in April and May, setting as many
scions as they can. and getting pay for those
