was muzzled and strapped by the neck to
the neolls of two stout wethers. The
sheep took fright at their unusual compan-

in all directions. When tired out, the
sheep were released, and the dog sneaked
home, thoroughly cured Of his appetite
for live mutton. If this remedy fails try

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Ga

visit to the gallery Of the House of Com

for these ten years past has been the
prominent characteristic of anti-slavery
England. Mr. Davis quietly replied,

How Good Farmers save Money.
They take good papers and read thel


They take good papers and read them.
They keep accounts of farm operations.
They do not leave their implements
scattered over the farm, exposed to the
rain, snow and heat
They repair their tools and buildings at
the proper time, and do not suffer a subse-
quent threefold expenditure of time and
money. They use their money judioiopsly,
and they do not attend auction sales to
purchase all kinds Of trumpory because it
is CHEAP"
They see that their fences are well repair
ed, and their cattle are not found grazing
in the meadows, or grainfelds or or
chards.
They do not refuse to make correct ez-
pe-iments, in small way, of many ncw
things,
They plant their fruit trees well, care
for them, and Of course get good crops
iney PracIce economy oy giving tdeE
stock good shelter during the winter al
so, good food, taking all that is unsound,
half rottop, Or mopldy, out.
They do not keep tribes of cats or
snarling dogs around their premises, who
eat more in month than they are worth
in their whole life time.
Lastly, they read the advertisements,
know what is going on, and frequently
save money by it.
Successful farming is made up by at
tention to little things. The farmer whe
does his best, earns his money With best
appreciation, and uses it with best results.

Feeding Mich COWS.

A correspondent writing to the Canada
Fa1mer says that he keeps dairy of
twenty-six COWS, the milk of which is dis
posed of at cheese factory that last
year he sowed an acre of corn in drills,
and commenced cutting and feeding to the
cows daily the first Of July, When the
September rains came on he omitted the
corn-foeding four days, and the result
was the diminution Of ffy-t#o pounds of
milk per day. The corn-feeding was
again resumed, and IN four days the COWS
gave their customary quantity of milk
The increased flow Of milk doubly paid
the cost Ct the food given.

Planting Corn.

a writer in the Western Rural, Chicago,
says; Il find nay experience, which =
the best teacher, if it is the dearest, t1at
there are errors existing in regard to tbe
proper preparing and after cultivating G..
the corn crop in general. To the frss
place, there is quite mania for boring
into the bowels Of the earth, and turning
up to the surface the cold and worthless
subsoiI. I write especially of the prairie
lands of Illinois, and T re-as5ert that tie
subsoiI of our land Is actually Of no value
whatever. and is actually damage to q
crop ofany kind when puton thesurface, and
land treated in this way is in great meas.
ure entirely worthless for number years.
The great fertility of prairies is on the
surface in the first two Or three inches. "

WooD ASHES FOR STRAWBERRIES. -
There is no better fertilizer for strawber-
ries than ashes. We remember that one
of the best crops We ever had was raised
when the only manure used vas wood
ashes. All soils alike will not be benefited
by such an application but it is always
safe to use ashes in connection with other
mauures. flashes only IS used, there are
fewer weeds, as no seed can be introduced

SeIeeted Story.
My Husbands Daughter.
BY JULIA VERNON.

Just three weeks before Admiral Yer
mons daughter and only child was marrl-
ed, [ entered his home as his wife.
Every woman has her dreams, and [
dare say, mine had been bright and fair
as any but I was glad to center them in
the heart of my husband, as the roses are
to smile in the warmth of June. | meant
to be brave, loving, loyal wife; to make
up in earnest endeayor what | lacked IN
years and experience, and, above all not
to be chilled by GOODNESS, Or disheartened
by first failures.
Our bridal tour was simply from the
South to the North-from my home to
his: and then came the dreaded meeting
with his daughter.
I was prepared for anything but the
greeting [ received, and never was more
surprised in my life than when she came
out of the house, and, without waiting for
a formal introduction, put her warm arms
about my neck, and welcomed me home.
I know you expect an enemy in me,
she whispered in my ear; 'but you are
mistaken. am glad to see you!'
She led the way to chamber Oh the
second floor. where CHEEKY fire sparkled
in the CRATE, and, hesitating moment,
said, If you would rather be alone. I will
go down.
No, no. I answered. DO stay. 1t is
such relief to Gnd you kind and pleas
ant, that l cannot bear to lose sight of
YOU
Then you were really afraid to meet
me? l hoped papa would speak Of me to
you
lie said you were to be married soon.
That is ALL
Her cheeks flushed.
But we are to live close to each other
%, are we? I am very glad
She smiled gratefully.
If you had only come sooner? have
been SO lonely for years and years.
when did your mamma die?'
4 never had the courage to ask Admi-
raj Vernon the question, though knew
it had been several years ago.
When was ten years Old.
and you have lived here alone ever
sinceg'
Yes
I hardly wondered, when knew this,
that she should be glad to see me and as
[ soon saw how distant and reserved her
father was with her, and then remember
ed how long she had been his companion,
I was surprised that she should be possess
ed of such cheerful, affectionate spirit.
Like her mother I thought; and, in
deed, her face did resemble the picture of
the dead woman whose place | had taken .
She was married at the appointed time,
and settled within speaking distance of her
fathers door.
From that day she left what is now my
home, the chill reticence which had per-
haps become habitual to my husband
seemed to increase and began to see at
once that was powerless to bring either
warmth Or light into the life which must
endure, though it was already growing
intolerable to me. did not mean that it
should be so, but his manner froze and
frightened me; and had it not been for his
daughter, who was already my tender
friend, | could not have endured it for a
month.
The fact was, our natures were antago
nistic. The North, with its bitter cold,
had been bis hearts mother the South,
with its warm Insurance, had been mine.
We were totally unlike; and though this
fact had been the chief attraction which
had drawn me towards him at the first, it
was grown to be the wall of separation
between US, fast enough now.
