NOTHING BUT LEAVES.

Nothing but leaves. The spirit grieves
Over a wasted life;
Sin committed while conscience slept,
Promises made and never kept;
Hatred, battle and strife
lfas Nothing but leaves.
Nothing bat leaves; no gathering sheaves
OF hfe's fair ripened grain;
Words, idle words, for earnest deeds
We sow our seeds-lo! tares and weeds
We reap for toll and pain
Nothing but leaves.
Nothing but leaves: memory weaves
No Eeil to screen the past;
As we retrace our weary way,
Counting each lost and mis-spent day,
We sadly find at last
Nothing but leaves.
And shall we meet our father so,
Bearing our withered leaves :? % -
The Saviour looks for perfect fruit
We stand before Him, humble, mute,
Waiting the words He breathes--
Nothing but leaves.

The Blood Stone and the Opal.

Concerning the blood stone or hello
trope, there is curious tradition:
eat the crucifxion the blood which
followed the spear-thrust fell upon dark
green jasper lying at the foot of the cross,
and from this circumstance sprang the va
riety. In the middle ages the red specs
alluded to were supposed to represent the
blood Of Christ, and this stone to possess
the same medicinal and magical virtues as
the jasper" =
The Opal, beyond doubt, the most
beautiful of all gems, is also the only one
which cannot be initiated It is impossi-
bic to value it, since the price depends
solely upon the play of color. A fine
specimen will fetch thousand pounds,
bnt fifty times that sum has been refused
for the Vienna Opal. The hydrophane,
or Mexican opal, loses its beauty when ex-
posed to water and Sir Walter Scott has
alluded to this fact in canine of Gierstien,"
although, in that romance, he ascribes it
to supernatural agency. Strange to say,
after. the publication of that novel, the be-
lief that opals were unlucky obtained such
currency that they quickly went out of
fashion,

Ground Hay for Cattle Feed.

Joseph S. Kirk, Of Pittsburg, Pa,
writes to the New York Farmers
Club as follows:
"For some time past I have been
making observations and experiments
in animals food, and obtaining what
/ believe to be an improvement, and
/ take the liberty Of communicating
to your club the results. Grass being
the natural food for live stock. it is
easily and properly masticated, and
as q consequence its nutrition easily
extracted. With hay, however, the
ease is different, for when fed in suffi-
cient quantities the animal, especially
il its teeth have become fiattened by
age, attempts to satisfy itself by select
ing the leaves and tender branches.
To obviate this difficulty, and prevent
waste, cutting hay in short lengths has
TO IN extent become general, and is,
no doubt, a step in the right direction.
My belief is that We should go still
further, and grind the hay as we.now
grind oats and corn. 1t is thought
that owing to its glutinous nature hay
could not be reduced to a state of meal,
or, if so reduced, the expense attend
ing would not justify. To test this,
1 constructed a cutter and crusher on
new principles, and the result was be-
yond my most sanguine expectations.
Ten tuns a day can be ground with
one machine, at a cost not to exceed
one dollar per tun. Ground in this
manner, hay snot unlike ground oats,
ave in color, its weight being from 80
to So pounds per bushel. Mixed with
chapped feed, such as corn or oats, il
makes a cheap and excellent food
Thus We effect by mechanical means
what the Woodworking or decrepid
animal is incapable of doing-perfect
mastication.r

The
Feed the Cows Well.

a lady correspondent sends the
Hearth and Home the following bit
of experience, which may be of adj
vantage to other housewives who find
their supply of milk decreasing with
the advance of cold weather:
"Why, COrny, what have you done
to that COW? She has certainly shrunk
aquart at a milking since the snow
fell. You don't feed her WELL"
Such was our exclamation as we
looked into the milk pail on NOvem-
Der LIST.
"Indade, ma'am, an 1 do. It's Just
the way with these creatures. If they
can'thaye grass, they won't have any
thing. Now, ma'Rm, I've fed that
cow just as nice al I could, wa the
reply of our Milesian assistant.
well, 1 can't have this; butter at
fifty cents per pound, and Juno makes
a pound to every seven quarts of milk.
If he loses two quarts q day, there's
two pounds less of butter per week.
You must feed her differently. Give
one pail of warm water, slightly sailed
morning, loon and night. Then keep
her well supplied with hay; and, Cor
ny, / know that il you should stir
two quarts Of wheat-bran and corn
meal mixed together, into the pail Of
hot water, morning and night, that
she would give more milk than she
did before she left the pasture. Now,
try it and see if she don't"
"Indade, ma'am, and you be the
curiousest lady l ever met. What'u
the master be after saying at this ?"
"When he sees = nice platterfull of
butter-cakes, then We'll hear what he
has got to say. Meanwhile, you do as
/ tell you to-"
Fortunately, Corny possessed n
great virtue-he could obey. So Juno
was fed as we desired, with the addi-
ton of a half peck of potatoes night
and morning.
The milk-pail oOn showed the re-
suits. Instead of decrease, there was
asteady increase and now nearly three
quarts more of veryrich, buttery milk
are obtained, and nearly three pounds
of butter added to u weekly store.
"How's this?" asked paterfdmiLids.
"Do we make all the butter that we
use at the table this Winter? 1 thOt'
Juno would fall short in her milk
when taken from the pasture.
This was said to Corny in u pres
ence.
"Indade, an ye must just ask the
mistress. She tould me how to feed
the COW; an 1 did it. an she houIds
out uncommon, does't shrink one bit.
An drinks every dhrop 1 give her of
the hot sup, an likes it too"
"Well, well, COrny, obey i'll all
things and if all her commands can
make such returns, 1 shall be willing
to obey also. I thought we should
have to buy both milk and butter to
supply our family this Winter; but
feed the COW well, and that will be
needless"

How TO Eta COLLAR TO A HORSE.
I'm purchasing collar for your horse
it is quite important to get one that
fits him, as both the animal and your
self will thus be saved much annoy
ance. The Harness and Carriage
Journal says: 1.-THE plan adopted in
the West, and which, we are assured
by men who have been long in the
collar business, does not injure the
collar in the least, is to'dip it in water
until the leather is thoroughly wet,
then put it on the horse, secure the
names firmly, keeping it there until
it becomes dry. 1t is all the better if
heavy loads are to be drawn, as that
causes the collar to be more evenly
fitted to the neck and shoulder. If
possible, the collar should be kept on
four or five hours, when it will be per-
fectly dry, and will retain the same
shape ever afterward, and as it is ex-
actly fitted to the form of the neck,
will never produce chafes or sores on
the horses neck.

dangerous operators by Wnltelys officers was
