after things his wife has forgotten. She,
poor woman, has taken whole seat to
herself, and between expectations of the
coming season and dread of something
being spilled on her clothes, is in about
as an ecstatic state as can be imagined.
And the little olives are enjoying them
selves, too, rasping each others shins and
threatening to fall out and be crushed to
death. But they go off with the floating
of handkerchiefs and hearty good-byes of
the farmers family, who Immediately re-
tire to the house to give thanks. And
when the farmers son returns from the
depot, he takes hold of the grindstone,
and the conversation that ensues between
him and his sire while the various edged
implements are being put in shape, calls
for renewed efforts on the part of Home
Missions. Neaos.

Fattening Animals Gradually.

Every farmer who makes the feeding
OF animals an important part of his bust
ness ought to know that their unremitting
growth is the only true and successful
way Of treating them. This is the course
which the most successful porll-raisers
pursue in feeding their hogs regularly and
fully, through winter and summer, till
they are sufficiently fat in the autumn.
Many intelligent persons are accustomed
to suppose that poor animals may, in a
short time, be changed into fat ones by
stutfing them with rich food. The more
food they can make them take in a dav or
a week the quicker they suppose, they
will become fat and fit for the market
But this is false opinion, as experiments
clearly show. The overlooking is always
| wastetul; for after the animals gain but
little fat, and the owners begin to think
that the fattening Of them for mark ct is
an Improbable business. An owner may
withhold the proper quantity of food from
his hogs and cattle and even half starve
them for months; and then may change
his mode of treating them, and glut them
with excessive food, and thus hope rapidly
| to put them into fat condition.; but the
attempt will prove abortive, as the growth
Of the animals from the earliest period of
| their existence, and their increasing in
fat and flesh must continue on without
interruption till they are marketable.
Careful observations prove that the
profits of raising and fattening cattle and
hogs are realized only when they are
| regularly fed from day to day with neither
too scant nor too heavy feeding. Some
object to this mode Of treating their AMI
mails. They wish to finish the fattening
process in two or three months, and think
it is too expensive to continue it for two
or three years. This would be the case if
their way of feeding was the correct one :;
but it is not, for heavy feeding is not
requisite to keep up the continued grow
ing condition of the animals.
We have in mind an observing farmer
living in Central New York who carefully
weighed all the animals he was fattening
every week. To fine steer he gave daily
four quarts of barley meal, and he found
the increase in its weight to be ten pounds
per week He then tried the experiment
of giving it eight quarts per day, and he
found the weekly increase of weight was
less than when four quarts were given.
Twelve quarts were now given daily, and
at the end of the week there was no gain
of flesh.
These facts teach all persons who feed
domestic animals that there is such a
thing as feeding their stock so largely or
heavily that the profits will be less than if
the stock were to receive smaller allow
ances. When a portion of the feed passes
away without having been digested it is a
reliable indication that feed is not con-
sumed as profitably as it should be.-Neac

Returning Home from the Country,

The city people are going back home
this month. You can see them loading

with broad black band about it. He is
mainly busy in thrusting children in the
wagon, and running back to the house

-Jelly-The juice of apples boiled in
shallow vessels, without a particle of
sugar, makes the most sparkling, deli
cious jelly imaginable. Red apples will
give jelly the color and clearness of
claret, while that from light fruit is like
amber Take the cider just as it is made,
and not allowing it to ferment at all, and
if possible boil in a pan fiat, very large,
and shallow. Any one living near a
'house" for boiling sorghum juice can
make this jelly in perfection.

their power TO make his defeat certain, but they seem
