Keep the Cattle Growing.

The most successful breeders ofhorses,
cattle, sheep, or swine, know from ex-
perience that although they may pos.
sess the best breeding animals, they will
not be successful in producing superior
stock If continuous growth of the
young animals is not kept up. In order
to begin in time at this indispensable
preparation forsuccess, the brood mares,
cows, ewes and sows are most carefully
and suitably fed while with young, and
as soon as the young animals make their
appearance, they are taken the greatest
care of, the dams being suitably fed
while sucking, and when the young
ones are weaned they are not supposed
to want for food or drink single hour.
By this means continuous or rapid
growth is kept up and the animals attain
large size and heavy weight at an
early age. When breeding animals are
not properly fed and comfortably shell
tered in Winter, the bad effect of such
treatment is not confined to their own
want of condition-it is shared by their
progeny, and can never be remedied.-
When young stock are not we'll fed and
comfortably sheltered in Winter, their
growth becomes stunted, and no subse-
quent amount of good treatment can re.
pair the damage. Young animals may
suffer for want of proper provender in
Summer and Autumn, ,as well as in Win.
ter, and when this happens il stops con.
tinous growth and prevents ultimate
uccess in the object of the breeder.

The Kind Conductor.

1t is a pleasure to say something to
the credit of an Individual who belongs
to that much abused class of our com.
munity, horse car conductors, whom
people like to believe dishonest. On
the morning of the Fourth, little girl
riding to Boston rendered to a conduc-
tor for fare, dingy-looking scrip, Of
the denomination of twenty-five cents.
He took it, looked at it, said "COunter.
felt" and returned it to her.
Evidently judging by her appearance
that it was all she had, he added,
"Never mind; letit 60 till next time."
But the girl was mortified by the
circumstance, and, her eyes brimming
with tears, she turned her face away.
A lady standing near remarked, "Her
Fourth Of July is spoiled"
The conductor heard her, and, hesi-
tating but moment, said to the girl,
"Let's see that money again."
She handed it to him, and then he
took from his pocket the brightest,
newest, twenty.fiv cent scrip he could
find, and gave it to her in exchange.
When he saw her countenance express
ing the thanks she could not utter, we
have no doubt that he felt amply re-
warded, and we will wager quite an
amount that his wearisome labors that
day were very much lightened by his
little act of kindness.

A True Hero.

A boy about nine years old was bath
ing one day, when, by some mischance,
he got into deep water and began to
sink. His elder brother saw him, but
lacking strength or skill, he also sank
to the bottom Of the river. AS the
two drowning brothers rose to the sur.
face for the last time, they saw a third
brother, the youngest of the family,
running down the bank for the purpose
of trying to save them. Then it was
that the dying nine.year-old acted the
part of the hero. Struggling as he was
with death, he gathered all his strength,
and cried to the brother on the shore,
"Don't come. You'll drown"
Noble little fellow! Though dying
he forgot himself, and thought only OF
his fathers grief. He was genuine
hero. His brother obeyed his dying
command, and was spared to comfort
his father when his two dead sons were
taken from the river clasped in each
others arms.
Boys, you are not called to be heroes
In this way, but you are called to con-
slider the feelings of your parents, and
to study how to avoid giving them
pain. The best way to do this Is to
love them dearly. Love will not only
keep you from hurting their feelings,
but 1t will make you sources of great
Joy to their hearts. Blessed are those
children whose words and deeds make
sweet music in their parents souls.

Young Folks.



In q tan. yard, in little town of Eng- |
land, there were two dogs. One was q
small dog, of the spaniel kind, whose
name was Carlo. The other was large
strong watchdog, and his name was
Ponto. Carlo was not good. tempered
dog, but was cross and ugly, and he
seemed to have taken great dislike to
Ponto. He never cared to play with
him, and would snap and snarl when
he came near him, and always showed
an ugly feeling toward him. Ponto
didn't seem to care much for 1t, but he
kept out Of Carlos way, in a dignifled
sort of manner, as If he would say:
"Well, Mr.. Carlo, If you can get along
without me, am sure / can do very
well without YOU"
One day Carlo was playing about in
the yard, and somehow or other he slip
ped into one of the pits which was very
nearly full OF water. OF course he could
swim we'll, as all other dogs can. But
the water was not high enough for him
to reach the top, and as the sides Of the
pit were too steep and smooth for him
to catch hold of anything with his feet,
it was impossible for him to get out by
himself. SO he went swimming round
and round the pit, whining and yelp-
ing all the time for some one to come
and help him. But 1t so happened that
none of the workmen were there to
help him, and Carlo would certainly
have been drowned had 1t not been for
Ponto.
He heard the cry Of distress from the
i'll. natured friend, and went at once to
see what he could do to help him. AS
', soon as he came to the pit, and saw
!, how things were, he reached over and
caught hold of Carlo by the neck with
his teeth, and dragged him out.
. Carlo shook himself, and then went
{ frisking and jumping about Ponto, as II
, to show his gratitude.
. He had no power to speak his feel
, ings, but he tried by his actions, as well
as he could, to say:
/ II am very much obliged to you 70,
y saving my life. feel ashamed of my
: self for having been so cross and ill-na
+ tured to you; but never mean to dt
so any more" and Carlo was as good a:
, his word, if he had been able to say all
this to Ponto. He never seemed tC
. forget his kindness to him, but would
wag his tail and jump about, and seem
very glad when ever he met Ponto.
SO that even dogs know how to return
. good for evil. Children who do not dc
. this are therefore, worse than dogs.

No PROFIT IN MILKING TOO LONG.
1t is generally thought best, 80 far as
my knowledge extends, to let dairy
cows 60 dry three, or at least, two
months. My own experience would give
three months as about the best average
length of time cows should 60 dry be.
fore dropping their calves in spring {:
and this 1 find best without regard to
the general health of the animal or the
amount of milk to be produced the fol.
lowing season. Cows that are MIXED
too long, either get thin in flesh, and
give but little milk, and that little of
poor quality, or else require large
amount of nutritious food to keep up
good supply of milk and the animal in
good flesh. My rule is to feed literally
as long as do milk, and when COW
gives less than twoquarts ofgood whole
some milk, dry her off and lessen the
feed. A dry COW needs about two thirds
the amount of fodder required by COW
of the same size which gives milk, so
that there is no present profit in milk
ing too long, unless dairy products are
very high, to say nothing of the damage
by impairing the future usefulness of
he cow.-C0aatry Gentleman.

THE "SILvER RULE."-You all know
the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as
you would wish them to do to you."
There is rule which Is almost part
OF the Golden Rule, but which we will
put by itself, and because Of its value,
call 1t the "Silver Rule" ''Think and
say all YOU can of the good qualities OF
others; forget and keep silent concern
ing their bad qualities. You can not
conceive how much such course will
heighten your own happiness, and raise
you in the esteem of your mates. Did
you ever think any more Of boy or
girl becase he or she found fault with
others? Never call your schoolnates
or playmates ugly, or cross, neither to
their faces nor behind their backs. If
they are ugly, or stingy, or cross, ii
does not make them better to talk or
think about 1t, while II makes you love
to dwell upon faults Of others. and eau.
ses your own soul to grow smaller, and
you become like the foul bird that pre-
fers carrion for food.

HORSES BREAKING BRIDLEs. "A
correspondent Of the Queenslander says
h o cures horses of the habit of pulling
at the halter in this way: "My plan to
cure a horse of bridle.breaking is, to
fasten or tie him up in place, where
he cannot run back, with strong leath-
er head.collar-not halter-and when
the bride is put upon him, turn him
around In the stall and fasten him for
an hour every day with reins fastened
to the stall posts and then buckled on
TO his bit. This plan will be found O
cure, and a very gentle and not disa-
greeable operation for the horse.

The Scientific Press quotes the testi-
neny of agentleman in San Francisco
with regard to the value of fresh eggs
in atfording nourishment to weak
animals. He remarked that he had
known young colt which to all ap-
pearances was nearly dead, the breath
of life beings barely perceptible, to be
quite instantly revived by giving it one
or two fresh eggs. The same results, in
several cases to which he was knowing,
have followed the administering of eggs
TO weak calves, and also to feeble and
chilled lambs. A remedy so simple, so
easy at hand and so effectual in the
cases mentioned-which often occur
with calves and lambs-should be re-
membered by our readers.
