girls, Annie aud Minnie, aged respectively

The Economy of Mixed Or Varied Food
for Animals.

To THE casual observer the forage pro-
duced on an old pasture seems to consist of
but one or two different species of plants.
Careful examination corrects this error,
and shows that on each square foot of old
sod the species of plants which may be
found are to be numbered by the dozen.
We see here the beautiful provision made
by nature for supplying variety in the
food of our domestic animals, and it re-
quired but little experience to show that
almost all animals love variety The horse
alternates between oats and hay; the
cow leaves hay to feed upon corn fodder,
and then rejects the fodder and prefers a
little hay.
Now we believe that both on the score
of economy and humanity, the taste of all
our domestic animals should be consulted
to the fullest extent possible. But beyond
this there is much to urge US to intro
duce variety into the food of our cattle.
1t is well known that different kinds of
food possess very different values as sources
ofnutriment Itwas at one time supposed
that the value of each variety might be
determined by the PEI. centage of nitrogen
which it contained, and, as nitrogen is the
most expensive of all the constituents of
food, the originators of this theory were
not very far wrong. But it happens that
other substances beside ssnitrOgen are
necessary for the support of the animal,
and as certain proportion of nitrogen
can be used it becomes necessary to pro-
vide full supply of the other elements,
and If the nitrogen is in too large porpor-
ton, it is simply wasted 1t is just as if
we were to furnish builder with a GER
tain quantity of bricks and mortar for the
purpose of building a house. A ton of
lime may be more valuable than a ton of
brick, but if we furnish more mortar than
the proper portion, the excess is simply
wasted.
Now all feeders ought to understand
that it is not what passes through the in
testinal canal of an animal, but what
passes through his system-in other
words, what is digested and assimiIated,

ripened ard best of all kinds of seed, not
only as large crops as formerly can be
raised, but there may be a constant I'M
provement.
For years we have showed degree of
common sense in breeding all kinds of
farm stock, except, perhaps, the human
animals, paying great prices and going
far to secure the proper animals. We
have put them upon our farms and given
them the best food and shelter and the
kindest care, often watching them nights,
and we have found that it paid well.
Probably, at the lowest estimate, one
fourth of all the labor bestowed upon our
garden and field crops is in the destruction
of weeds. Hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars are annually expended in running
separators in flour mills, store-houses and
elevators, in taking out foul seed from
wheat, which is dead loss, which would
be saved did farmers SOW only seed of the
best quality, and by the same means a
much more uniform and better quality OF
-four would be secured.-Cor Am. bas.

Do not Play with Babies

ESPECIALLY with those whose mothers
are "nervous creatures" and whose
fathers are wide-awake, go-aheadative,
steam-enginish men.
Young America has too many nerves
already, and too high-strung at that; too
ready to vibrate at touch. Do not play
upon them. Let them be quiet
For the first three or four months of his
mortal life let him be handled and cared
for, as far as practicable, by one quiet per-
son, and after that let him not be caught
up and tossed up and tickled and cackled
at by every one who comes along. Keep
him quiet. If grandma, or aunty, or
chubby" want to enjoy the baby, let
them approach him carefully, reverently,
snug him up gently, talk to him soothing
ly and sensibly, and have good time with
him without setting him all on springs
and making fool OF him.
After he is able to talk, do not say smart
things to him and teach him to make pert
replies, and, when old enough to be sensi-
tive to remarks do not say of him, in his
presence, as though he had no sensibility,
What little mani" "He looks like his
mother" GLOW he has grown tallP.
Leave him to his simplicity and uncon-
seriousness He will wake up out of them
soon enough without.
If the family to which he belongs is
busy and busting, keep him out of the
way of it as much as possible. Lead him
in the "green pastures and by the still
waters" Ten chances to one, the sensi-
tive, nervous system in him greatly pre-
dominates over the organic. His head
his front head particularly-is too large, his
stomach too small, his fingers too sharp.
Study to change his condition, and work
away at him till the predominance is the
other way, or until there is developed in
him q greater capacity for living a long
life than dying an early death. To this
end let him be fed regularly, and at physi-
illogical intervals, with plenty Of simple,
nutritious food, avoiding all stimulants-
even flesh meats in l&s earlier growing
years-in both food and drinks. Get him
to sleep in the day time and to bed early
nights and let him sleep as long as he will.
In short, let him live good deal as the
little pigs and calves do. Do not put fine
clothes on him. Let him touch the ground,
play on the lap Of earth, and keep away
from him intellectual and social excite
ments (These remarks apply to girls as
we'll as to boys).
If you do not look out, Old America
will become SO smart and keen and quick
that it will flash in the pan," or so atten-
uated that it will vanish into thin air, and
there will be nothing left of it.-Rochester

A Sharp Teller.

The Syracuse On. " Courier gives
the following account Of the neat manner
In which bank teller of that city Sc
cured the arrest of counterfeit bond
operator:
Between the hours of IL and 1 o'clock,
Saturday afternoon, stranger called at
the Salt Springs Bank, in this city, and
presented a United States 7.30 bond Zone
thousand dollars) to the teller, Mr.. John
w. Truesdell-and desired to exchange it
for currency, and the premium which it
was entitled to. Mr.. Truesdell, as soon
as he saw it, knew it to be counterfeit,
and thought he would cause delay in the
negotiation for the bond, and have the
scoundrel arrested There was no one
present with the teller but little boy, and
to get him to go after police officer with
out exciting the suspicion of his wary Gus
toner, was very delicate task, indeed, but,
as the sequel will show, Mr.. TruesdelPs
tactics worked admirably. The stranger
wanted to know what the bond was worth.
The teller replied that he believed it was
quoted at 10, which would make the
bond worth eleven hundred dollars"
The stranger seemed quite anxious to
close the bargain, whereupon the teller
remarked, "Pll look in the Post and see
what 7.30s are quoted at" at the same
time turning to the boy and inquired,
"Where's the Post, have you seen any
thing of it?" and watching his opportu
nifty, he whispered to the lad, ego for po-
liceman as quick as you can," and then in a
loud voice told the boy to run out and get
a Post. 1t was evident that the stranger
began to think it was not all 0. X. with
him, for he requested Mr. Truesdell to let
/ him ho bond anoin ha
wished to make note of the date of
ISSUE etc. This kind of nonsense
wouldn't Igo down with the teller, who
knew that if he got it in his possession
again, he would be off 571std7ater. So he
very kindly examined the bond and gave
him the date, as desired, and at the same
time he took from the drawer large pile
of bank notes, and said, "I'H give you
81 100 for the bond, and take the chances
as to what the quotations may be in the
Post" This seemed to have the desired
effect, and the stranger readily agreed to
the proposition.
The reader can rest assured that Mr..
Truesdell, for once in his life, was very
slow while counting the money and placing
it in 500 packages About this time a
citizen came into the bank wishing to
draw out some money on his personal
check. The teller informed him "that
his account with the bank was in bad
shape, and he would be obliged to look it
over before letting him have the money"
OF course the citizen was highly indig-
nant, and was invited behind the counter
to examine accounts for himself, and while
doing so Mr.. Truesdell whispered to him
not to leave the bank, as he was going TO
have that stranger arrested for attempting
to pass counterfeit United States bonds.
The citizen then saw through the ruse
adopted by the teller to keep him there.
Just then the boy entered, not with the

A Warming to Counterfeiters, and a
Caution to Purchasers.

No expense will be spared, no legal means o
Furnishing fraud will be neglected, in the effort to
prevent the counterfciiing of HOSTETTER' S
STOMACH BITTERS. But scoundrelism, when
its cunning and activity are stimulated by the
hope of gain, is very ingenious and industrious.
The men whose despicabie business it is to simu-
late valuable proprietary medicines, and who sub
ftitute therefor dangerous or worthless prepara-
tions, are proyerbally difficult to catch. Most OF
them have many aliases, and they hit from state
to State with surprising agility, in the hope OF
evading the clutches of the law The proprietors
of UOSTETTERS STOMACH BIT'fEltS are de-
termined, if possible, to hapst them doacn. Tray
cling agents are employed for this purpose, and
whenever an offender is detected he is prosecuted

Impudence.

OUT at Columbus, in Ohio, lives q little,
weazen, dried up lookingpolitician named
Joe G. He is the most insignificant
looking specimen of humanity one could
meet IN month, but smart as steel trap,
and any one who takes him for a fool will
find himself sadly deceived He is notori-
GUS for furnishing the finest specimen of
cool impudence of any man in Ohio.
The following anecdote, illustrative of
this trait of his character, is tsld of him :
Some years ago, being in Philadelphia,
he received an introduction to a promi-
nent divine of that city. The reverend
gentleman invited Joe to attend his church
on a certain Sunday, which invitation was
accepted. They entered the sacred edifice
together. 1t was one of the first churches
of the city, and its members were fashion
able and aristocratic in the extreme. The
minister put Joe into an deliberately fur
nished pew, well to the front. Joe nestled
comfortably down into one corner of the
same, and looked about as interesting and
contented as toad under a cabbage-leaf.
After while the owner of the pew ar
rived, and at once gave signs of intense
disgust and indignation at the presence of
the interloper. He looked at the pew,
scowled magnificently, and finally, after
fumDllng through his pocket for some time,
drew fourth a card and wrote on it with a
pencil: "IhiS Is my seat, SIR I" and with
an air of the lohiest contempt tossed it
over to Joe.
The latter took it uD and read it with a
lamblike meekness peculiar to himself,
and then with the most delightful GOODNESS
wrote in reply: Z" It's O de0tEish good seat.
What rent do you pay?" and tossed the
card back to its owner The latter looked
at it with the most profound establishment
a minute or two, and broad grin over
spread his face. He evidently enjoyed the
sublime brass and GOODNESS of his new &C
quaintance, and when service was over he
approached Joe, apologized for his rude
ness, invited him to his house, gave him
the best he had, and treated him with the
utmost respect and consideration during
his sojourn in that city.-Bastern En-

Don't Write There.

"Don't write there" said one to lad
who was writing with diamond pin on a
pane of glass in the window of hotel
"Why?" said he.
Because you can't rub it out"
There are other things which men should
not do, because they cannot rub them out
A heart is aching for sympathy, and a
cold, perhaps heartless word is spoken
The impression may be more durable than
that of a diamond upon the glass. The
inscription on the heart may last forever
On many mind and many heart, sad
inscriptions are deeply engraved, which
no effort can erase. We should be careful
