SPRING.-As spring advances the
farming interests of our country are
looking up. The fruit blossom is album
dant and promising, the wheat crop is
becoming more hopeful, and the warm
gentle showers with mild breezes from
the south, are clothing our fields with
beauty. All nature appears to be vie
ing to make man happy and grateful.
Since the recent rains the grass in our
door-yards, on our hills, in our valleys
and by our still running waters
appears to have taken sudden
leap out of the ground; our trees
are covered with leaves and our fruit
trees with blossoms and our
hower-beds with flowers, and all nature
has donned her beautiful suit of green.
We suppose that if any one part of the
year, more than another, makes mans
or woman's heat gwSh, it is this par
ticular time. Old mems hearts gush,
old women's hearts gush, young peo-
pies hearts gush, and lovers hearts
most emphatically gush. "Meet me
by moonlight" Gentle ANNIE" and
we will Z" Go Marching Along land
all that sort of sweetly serene, pretty
"store " talk. We pause, and-gush.

Talking when Milking.

We have seen it noticed somewhere,
that talking while milking is not good
that u COW will give less milk, etc
We think we can say we have had OK
percncc in this way. 1t comes under
the head Of quick milking. a fast
mixer is better than slow one Talk
ing is very apt to retard milking; not
only that a skittsh COW will be un-
easy where too much ado is, where
another person is present, especially a
stranger. We think we have seen 2
decrease of milk where talking per-
son was present. We prefer milking
alone, and as fast rs possible. Quiet
ude and contcntment are great qualities
in COW. a wild COW is not generally
n good one. If she is, she will be
much better when tanned and domesti-
Gated.
