How To Make Mixers.

No matter what breed you have, some
thing is necessary to reach the highest sue
cess in raising good mixers. lisa great
thing to have good blood, whether it be Ayr.
shire. Jersey, or Short Horn grades, but
apart from this important advantage, the
course of treatment in raising mixer is
somewhat different from that in raising a
beef animal, or an animal for labor.
The calf should DO we'll fed and petted
while young. Well fed. to induce rapid
growth, so as to enable the heller to come in
early; petted. to make her gentle and fond
Of the presence Of her keepers. Fondling
helps to create quiet disposition, SO i'm.
portant in a dairy cow, and this education
must begin when young, For mixer we
would have the heifer come in at two years
old, and if she has been we'll kept, 50 as to
have attained good size, she is then old
enough to become COW. She will givo
moro milk for coming in early. 1t forms the
habit OF giving milk, and habit, you know,
is sort of second nature. An older bull is
better. Wo use too many young bulls. A
three or four years old is far better as u
stock gettor than yearling, and many pre-
fer FIVE or ak year old to any other. AZ
ter the heifer has come in, let her feed be
regular. Clover is preferred to oil others
for the stall feed. A little oat moal induces
large aow. Indian meal Is rather fatten.

Mouse Power.

Of five weeks. In that time, 1t makes one
hundred and ten threads per day, being an
average Of three thousand FIVE hundred and

A FLOATING TsLASp.-Wyassup Lake. Of
North Stouington, was originally natural
pond Of twenty-five or thirty acres. which
was frequently visited by the residents Of the
vicinity. A short time since, however, the
Wyassup Reservoir Company raised this lake
seventeen feet, causing its waters to cover an
area of about one hundred and seventeen
acres. As the waters rose, tho island rose
with them. and thus It remains. The soil is
spongy, and Us the visitor treads upon It's
spongy surface, he iecls little insecure. but
soon finds himself as safe Us on the solid land.
Il is curious incident, and rather too much
for the philosophers Of Eastern Connecticut.
They cannot account for it.-Haryord Post.

And draw the long braids thro' my hands -
