Cool and smooth is the tiny bed,
Curtaincd with MEETINGS 50 airy and light,
Not fly can hide himself from sight;
And there the baby shall sleep. sleep, sleep,
While mother and angels their watch do keep;
Mother and angels shall watch together
All through the sultry summer weather,
Flccciest blankets shall make the spread,
And downicst feathers tho little bed
Where baby, our darling, shall swectly reposc.
Warm to tho tips OF her cunning wee toes;
When the wintry winds shall blow, blow, blow,
And nil tho world be whito with snow;
Aud mother and angels still watch together
All through tho frosty winter weather.

How to do Dogs.

IT you have good dog that kills or
runs!sheep, and don't you want to shoot
him, build pen sixteen feet square,
and run pole across the top, and then
pick the largest and oldest buck of the
flock, put him in the pen, get your dog
and put collar round his neck, and q
rope to draw over the middle of The
pole, so that the dog will have his fore
feet swinging off the: ground q lew
inches. Get out of the pen and let the
buck give him several good butts, and
then turn him loose. This is q sure
cure. I tried it on my fathers dogs
when 1 was . boy; never knew them
to cross field where sheep were graz.

1t is an unquestioned fact among
those who have made careful examina.
tions, that our corn crop is going to be
light, and the greater is the necessity
for eoonomizing in this great cereal,
Too many farmers put off the fatten-
ing of hogs until it takes from three To
I'VE bushels more per head, to put on q
gwen amount of pork, than if the feed
ing was commenced while the weather
was still warm. It is not enough to
throw in little corn and fodder once a
day, but from this time on they shonld
be crowded. Put on every pound of
fat possible before the cold weather
sets in; then, if the price is not hioh
enough. they may be kept without
losing flesh, on a very email amount of
corn, for two or three weeks.

SLIGHTLY Out.

An agricultural journal, given to
using ideas not it's own, rather "put
its foot into it recently IN giving ia
tew illustrations of very neat country
houses adapted to the farm and village
lot, which readily explained them
selves; and if not desired in full,
might suggest ideas to the intending
builder" Unfortunately one of the
illustrations was q picture of Queen
Viotoria's palace at Osbourn, Isle of
Wight, and how that could be consid-
cred as q neat house adapted for q vii
lage lot or q farm, the editor failed to
explain or suggest. Borrowed feathers

Too oanv Ras1ro.1.-

In view of the fact that there is hard
" a locality in the United States where
the people are not anxiously advocat.
ing the construction of a thorough
line, cross line or feeder, it may seem
little singular that weshould advance
the position that we arc building too
many railroads. And yet we do ear
nestly warn the people that we are
bAlding too many railroads. True.
we are developing the country with
each new one, and quite true that in
many localities there is necessity for
more than We have. We mean to sav
that of the lines built by public land
grants stretching out beyond the Dor.
ders of civilization, opening I'M and
throwing upon the market millions of
acres of new land is being ovsrdone.
such rapid extension is ruinous policy
to all concerned. It is scattering our
agricultural population over SO much
territory. It is encouraging immense
farms, and consequently unprofitable
farming. While it increases the pro.
duction enormously, it scatters it so
widely that the cost of coliect;on a.
represented in transportation charges
ia necessarily out of proportion to the
market value Let us be understood.
1t is we'll known that any road can
transport million bushels of grain at
a much less cost per bushel than one
hundred Thousand. Now, instead of
concentrating the producers along the
shortest possible length of road as
sound policy would dictate, we bring
every influence to bear to diffuse the
production as widely as possible, there
by adding largely to the, at best. great.
er proportion that is paid by the con-
sumner. It is quite safe to estimate
that there is sufficient land east of the
Mississippi, if even half cultivated. to
produce the entire present product of
cereals. It will be seen at once that if
it were concentrated within that space
that a much greater proportion would
fall to the share of tho producer.
