could not be kept, and at the same time pay
ing their way BY the best milk and butter,
and in that light must receive the treatment
necessary to keep them small. All they re-
quire is care, cleanliness and good simple

Shorthorns, and give them short pastuses In
summer, rnd fine sweet hay in the winter,
but no grain, not even spoonful; pet them
and let the children handle and keep them
gentle and tame.
But when they have increased in numbers
and get into the farmers hands, who must
count every pound of butter and beef in or
der to pay the way, l believe that the far
mers of Massachusetts, will have cause to be
grateful to the enterprising agriculturists,
who now for the first time have brought the
Bretons to their notice. In all my experience
in cattle, which has been considerable, l have
never seen breed, having more qualities
needed by New England farmer small
thrifty animal, capable of making from a
small amount of food large quantity of rich
milk and butter and the best quality of ex-
cellent beef When seen at agricultural shows
they undoubtedly will be, many SO called
practical farmers will look upon them with
contempt, and call them rats, they named
the Jerseys; which all thinking farmers know
constitute one of the most valuable races ever
introduced thanks to the Massachusetts, So
ciety for Promoting Agriculture. Judging
from my observation of the Bretons on their
native soil and what has been done there in
the few instances where they have been well
treated and properly fed, feel entirely con-
tdent the time will come when the Bretons,
a finely formed, clean, thrifty race, will stand
side by side with the Jerseys, Ayrshires and
ShorthOrns in public estimation. and with
them will be the means of beneftting the
farmers of New England.

The Waiting.

wait and watch :ibefore my eyes
Methinks the night grows thin and gray;
Iwait and watch the eastern skies
To see the golden spears uprise
Beneath the orifamme of day
Like one whose limbs are bound in trance,
hear the daysounds swell and grow,
And see across the twilight glance
Troop after troop, in swift advance,
The shining ones with plumes of snow
I know the errand of their feet,
know what mighty work is theirs;
! can but LIT up hands unmeet
The threshing floors of God to beat,
And speed them with unworthy prayers.
Will not dream in vain despair,
The steps fprogress wait for me:
The puny leverage ola hair
The planets impulse well may spare,
\ drop of dew the tided sea.
The loss, if loss there Is, is mine,
And yet not mine, if understood;
For one shall grasp and one resign,
One drink LIES rue, and one it, wine,
Md God shall make the balance good.

The Truffie-What it is and how Used.

The trutile is a kind of mushroom, of
heshy, fungOus structure, and of a roundish
figure, found buried in the soil of woods at a
depth of several inches, and is much esteemed
as an esculent. 1t is not very extensively
known in this country, but it is very popular
in France, where the yield this year is report
ed to be very enormous. French dishes
dressed with this vegetable are considered
more tempting than when dressed in our fash
ION. The history of the truffle has decided
ly classical character. The earliest notice of
it that has been found is in the annals of Ath-
ems, by whose wealthy population it was held
in high estimation. The best and most val
ued roots were found in Thrace. In Rome
this vegetable was even more appreciated.
At splendid banquets where many thousands
of the tongues of birds were served at table
the rarest trutfies were used as condiment
TO stimulate the sickly appetites of Lucullus
and Nitellius- Modern naturalists have like
wise devoted some attention and inquiry to
the matter, and the general opinion is that
the truffle is kind of mushroom or gall nut.
growing beneath the surface of the earth on
the root of the oak, just as the real gall is
formed on its branches. 1t is also found near
birch, elm, and other forest trees. The best
specimens are black. A white variety is
found in the deserts of Arabia in profusion,
where 1T is of the same use to the inhabitants
that patatoes are in this country. In India a
liquor is distilled from it which is highly
priced by the natives. 1t requires year to
bring the roots to a state of maturity. In
France the spaniel breed are used in searching
for this underground vegetable. The value
of this crop is not generally known in this
In the year 1885 over 500, 900
pounds of trufiles were exported from the
French ports to supply the English and Amer
lean markets, as well as those of Sweden,
Russia and Turkey. The value of this export
was about 100000. The exports have been
gradually increasing from year to year,
amounting at the present time to nearly one
and quarter million dollars. Among noted
gentlemen who were passionately fond of
truffles we find mentioned Emperor Soulouque
of Hayti, the first Napoleon, NJ lie Due de
Cambaceres, NJ. de Talleyrand, NJ de Mar
tignac, Lord Byron, Rossini, and Baron
Rothschild.

l do not know as | can give you remedy
for gapes in chickens, but possibly my expe-
rience with the disease in hens, may be of
some value as hint.
A few weeks since hen was seized with
some disorder that caused constant gaming.
and very distressed breathing After one
day, l begged that she might be killed to put
her out of her misery. A neighbor said it
was the gapes, and that the remedy was to
dip feather in spirits of turpentine and run
it down the throat as far as possible. That
it was caused by worm lodgep in the throat
l tried it without any apparent immediate
effect The distressed noise become fainter
about twenty-four hours afterwards, as 1 sup
posed from exhaustion. But it was the
beginning of recovery; and in few days she
was well, laying eggs merrily, but her cackle
has still a cracked note, BIRD.
