LOVE AND LABOR
One morning found little Dora busy at
the ironing table, smoothing the towels and
stockinpr. "Isn't it hard work for the little
arms?' asked. A look like sunshine
came into her face, as she' glanced toward
her mother who was rocking the cradle. at

abe said softly. How true it is that love
makes labor sweet!
FOR THE BOYS.
A certain man, who is very rich nov, was
very poor when boy. When asked how
he got his riches, he said: my father

DON'T 1ATTLE.
Children, don't talk about each other.
Don't call one of your school mates ugly,
another stingy, another cross. behind their
backs. Such things are not pretty-they are
Mean. Even if they are ugly, or stingy, or
cross, it does you or them no good to say 30
to another. We should always avoid telling
the faults of others; it makes US forget our
own-it makes us uncharitable- makes
our souls grow small-it takes all the gener-

Who would be tattler? Tell all the good
you know of your playmates; but keep their
faults to yourself, or tell them in kindly
manner, when you are alone with them.
KEEP AWAY FROM THE WHEEL
Little Charlie Williams lived near a manu-
factory, and he was very fond of going among
the workmen and young people who were At
work there. The foreman would say to him:
keep away from the wheels, Charlie"
Charlie did not mind, and would often say:
81 can take care Of myself" Often he would
20 near, and the wind of the wheels would
almost suck him in, and two or three times
he grew so dizzy, that he scarcely knew
which way to 60. At length one day he
staggered, while amid the wheels, and fell
the wrong way; the bands caught his little
coat and drew him in, and he was dreadfully
mangled.
So it is, boys, when you go in the way Of
temptation; you may think you can take
care of yourselves, and keep clear Of the
wheels; but oh! you may find yourselves
dreadfullo mistaken. Before you are aware
of it, you may be caught and destroyed.
Keep away from the wheels.
Right and wre.g way 10 MIA.
The Irish FarmerS Gasette publishes the
following from Prof Dick of the Edinburgh
Veterinary College, on the manner of milk
ing:
The operation is performed differently in
various parts of the country. In some the
dairy-maid dips her hand into little milk
and by successfully stripping the teat between
her finger and thumb unloads the udder
This plan, however, is attended with the dis
advantage of Irritating more o. les the teat,
and rendering it liable to cracks and chops,
which are followed by inflammation extending
to the rest of the quarter. This accounts for
the disease occurring more frequently among
the COWS under the charge of one mixer than
it does in those under the charge of another;
and as this practice is more common in some
parts of the country than in others, it &C
counts for the disease being more common in
these parts. This plan of milking where the
irritation is not sufficient to excite the extent
of inflammation to which have alluded, fire.

most scientific plan of milking adopted in |
other parts of the country, where, instead of |
drawing down or stripping the teat between |
the thumb and fingers a. have stated, the |
dairy-maid follows more closely the princi- |
pie which instinct hat taught the calf She |
first takes slight hold of the teats with her
hand, by which she merely encircles it, then
lifts her hand up 20 as to press the body of
the udder upwards, by which the milk e.
capes into the teat; or il, as is generally the
case when some hours have elapsed between
milking times, the teat is full, she grasps the
teat close to its origin with her thumb and
and fore6nger, 50 As to prevent the milk
which is iu the teat from escaping upwards;
then, making the rest of the fingers to close
from above downwards in succession, forces
out what milk may be contaiLed in the teat
through the opening of it. The hand is
again passed up and close as before, and the
milk drawn easily and freely, without the
Juggling and wrenching inflicted by clumsy
Mixers
