! LADIES SHOULD READ NEwspApERs.-It il
/ a great mistake in female education TO keei
a youny lady's lime and attention devoted 4
the fashionable literature Of the day. If 20,
| would qualify her for conversation, you mus
give her something TO talk-give her educa
i ton with this actual world and its transpirinl
eyents-urge her to read the newspapers ant
become familiar with the present character
and improvements Of our trade. History y
of some importance, but the past weird Il
dead. and We have nothing to do with it
our thoughts and our concerns should be fol
the present world, to know what it is, ant
| improve the condition of it. Let us have al
/ intelligent opinion, and be able 10 sustain /
/ conversation concerning The mental, moral
| political and religious improvements OF onl
times. See that each others feelings ant
thoughts, and actions are pure and true ther
will our life be such. The wide pastures ar,
but separate spires of grass, the sheetee
bloom Of the prairies but isolated flowers.
I How TO MAKE Cows GIVE MIIK.-A writer
who says his COW gives all the milk that j:
wanted in family of eight persons, and
| from which was made 200 pounds of butter
| in the year, gives the following as his TT at
| men.. He says: IF you desire TO get q
large yield OF rich milk. give your cows three
times day water slightly warm, slightly
stated, 10 which bran has been stirred n The
ra Of one quart to two gallons Of water
You will find, if you have not found this BY
daily practice, that your COW will gain % pei
cent Immediately under the effect of il, and
she will drink almost at airy time, and ask fol
more. The amount of this drink is an or
binary water-pail full each time morning,
noon and night Your animal will then dc
her best at discounting the laeteal. Four
hundred pounds Of butter are off en- obtained
| from good stock, and INSTANCES are men
toned where the yield was even at higher
figure.
