Waste of Living Animals.

1t takes a certain amount of waste
to supply the animal economy, and
the waste is in proportion to the
length Of life. 1t costs just twice
as much to prolong this waste two
years as it does one, and more goes
to waste in cold weather than in
warm, hence the economy of pro-
viding warm shelter and plenty of
food. Animals so provided will be
sleek and healthy, while the others
will be gaunt and .shivering, and
their coats staring. -Stablcmcn
derstand the economy of keeping
fine horses warmly clothed in winter.
1t is only another name for prevent
ing waste. Too many ordinary
farmers fail to see it. Try shelter
ing your stock one winter, and see
how you and they like it. On ac-
count of the cold, domestic animals
in the winter crave oily grains, as
Indian corn, for the reason that
such feed will assist in keeping up
the animal heat. ~ e..
Is it not poor economy in view of
these facts to let your cattle, colts
sheep winter at the lee side of some
bleak hill, or in the fence corners,
when little time and money ex-
pendended at odd times would pro-
vide them with comfortable stables,
rat least, warm sheds? The money
expended for such purpose will
save twice its own value each sea
son, to say. nothing of the satisfac
tion of knowing that you have done
all in your power to make your farm
stock as comfortable as possible.

An Honorable Request.

Alexander the Great had a famous
but indignant philosopher in his
court. This adept in science was
once particularly straitened in his
circumstances. To whom alone
should he apply but to his patron,
the conqueror of the world! His
request was no sooner made than
granted. Alexander gave him a
commission to receive of his treas
urer whatever he wanted. He i'm
mediately demanded, in his sover-
eign's name, ten thousand pounds.
The treasurer, surprised at so large
a demand, refused to comply; but
waited upon the king and repre-
sented to him the affair, adding
withal how unreasonable he thouht
the petition and how exorbitant the
sum. Alexander heard him with
patience; but, as soon as he had
ended his remonstrances, replied,
"Let the money be Instantly paid
l am delighted with this philoso-
piers way of thinking; he has done
me singular honor; by the large
ness of his request he shows the
high idea he has conceived, both OF
my superior wealth and my royal
Thus let us honor
what the inspired penman styles the
marvellous locing-kindness Of Je
hovah. "He that spared not His
Son, but delivered Him up for US all,
how shall He not with Him also
freely give us all things:"

The Ministry of Children.

Some one has beautifully said:-
Great and fearful is the responsible
ity that God imposes upon US when
he gives us children. He sends
these souls to us as emanating from
himself. With awe we should re-
ceive them. With holy reverence
should We train and guide them for
the Master. Excepting flowers and
children, all else to me seems DID,.
and tired, and worn out. The trees
look old; the earth looks old; the
stars look old. The ancients trod
this same earth; they gazed at the
same stars; they heard the roar
of the same ocean. All these things
are associated in my mind with the
idea of extreme old age. Only
flowers and children seem new and
fresh. They always impress me as
having been born to-day. OF little
child | always feel like saying with
the poet: ......... .....
'sNearer seem to Good when looking on thee;
'Tii ages since he made his youngest star;
His hand was on thee as 'twere yesterday A
Thou later revelation"

of coal, under each Of which is a
stratum of first-clay. + + = +
The coal rocks are full of the re-
mains Of animal and vegetable life.

The southeastern third of the
State, extending as far north as the
center of Trumbull County. thence
due west to the longitude of Cleve-
land, thence a littlewest of south to
a point about 20miles west of Iron
ton, on the Ohio River, is included
in the coal measures. The area of
the coal fields of the -carboniferous
age, lying within the limits Of the
United States, has been estimated
at loo, 900 square miles. Prof. New
berry estimates the productive coal
area of Ohio at 10000 square miles,
or quite equal to that possessed by
Great Britain. In Great Britain the
annual coal production is 100000
900 tuns; in Ohio the coal produc-
ton is not far from 100000 tuns.
All the Goals of Ohio belong to the
bituminous group. .-t.-.
Our coal measures include about
33 of the IS counties of Ohio, and
contain the mineral wealth of the
State coal, iron, salt, petroleum, and
fires-clad. This mineral wealth as
developed by the geological survey
of Prof. Andrews is perfectly mar
velous. In a future contribution an
attempt will be made to give the
economic value of these discoveries.

Large VS.. Small Flocks of
N Sheep. r'

Certain writer's have, of late as
serted that long-wooled sheep will
not thrive as well as merinoes, when
kept in large fiocks. There are no
facts to establish the assertion.
On the contrary, Joseph Harris of
the old Genesee Farmer, says that
long-wooled sheep will herd as well
as merinoes, if they are only as well
kept. But we think the editor of
the Canada Farmer, who advocated
raisiug ruots, had the bost of the
argument with Harris. He bought
4:year old steers for $31 in the fall,
fed them on roots, straw and pea
meal until March, and sold them at
$50 per Head. Harris growsno beet
roots yet in his farming. Every
thing depends on the cleanly and
good well-fed keeping Of farm stock.
We had an uncle who paid $1,000
for three merino sheep, bought q
farm. and left the city of New York
to follow farming. The result was,
his English boy was shepherd; his
master never went to the field in
summer, or to the farmyard and
stable in winter, to look to his sheep;
and his merino speculation soon
ended in the disease and death of all
his best sheep. He quit farming.
to save himself; but he never paid
for his property. The men from
whom he borrowed money took the
property, and they still own most

Remedy for Mole.

Some years since, / was much
annoyed by moles in my garden 1
chanced to see in an English paper,
a remedy which l tried, and which
proved effectual. Several of my
neighbors also made a trial of the
same, and for years no traces of
moles have been seen on our ground.
The remedy is simple, and of tri-
fling expense or uble:-Procure
some castor beans,-the oil beam
and plant one or more, according
to the size or extent of the garden
or grounds that are visited by the
moles, where the burrow or track is
found, and the moles will leave. /
tried this some ten years since, and
no mole-track has been seen on my
premises since, until the past sum-
mer, when l had a necessity for
some sods for terrace, and had sew
eral loads brought from distance,
and the moles were brouhgt with
them. I procured gill of the cas-
tor beans, and put them in pocket,
and where 1 saw the ground raised,l l
made, with the end of my cane,
hole in the burrow or track, dropped
in bean, and soon there were no
more burrows in my garden. So l
conclude this to be the simplest and
cheapest mole trap. X.

Love.

At first it surprises one that love
should be made the principal staple
of all the best kinds of fiction; and
perhaps it is to be regretted that it
is only one kind of love that is
chiefly depicted in works of fiction.
But that love itself is the most re-
markable thing in human life, there
connot be the slightest doubt. For
see what it will conquer. 1t is not
only that it prevails over selfshness;
but it has the victory over WEAKNESS,
tiresomeness and familiarity. When
you are with the person loved, you
have no sense of being bored.
With the persons you do not love,
YOU are never supremely at your
ease. In conversation with them,
however much You admire them and
are interested in them, the horrid
idea will cross your mind of "What
will 1 say next?" Converse with
them is not perfect association
But with those you love, the salts
faction in their presence is not un-
like that of the relation OF the
heavenly bodies to one smother,
which. in their silent revolutions,
lose none of their attractive power.
The sun does not talk to the world
to the world but it attracts it.-A.

Farm and Household.
Facts, Hints. and Maxims.

Knives and forks of steel should
be wrapped in strong brown paper,

OF all, says an eminent authority.
Stale bread and biscuit can be
made to taste almost as fresh as new,
by dipping in warm water and heat
ing for short time in the oven.
If loaf of cake has become
rather too stale for the table, moist
en- it little, and then heat it through
in the oven.
In preparing starch, either boil
ed or cold, add a little fine salt. 1t
lmparts a brillianey to the linen,
and prevents the flat-iron from stick
ing while ironing.
1t is said that a roasted onion
bound upon the pulse on the wrist,
will stop the most invetetate tooth
ache in few minutes.
For dust in the eye, dissolve a
little molasses in water and apply
to the eye, letting it get well under
the lids. 1t affords great and al
