with their cheerful notes. and the sunshine
fingered,
Ger the bending lea, on shrub and tree,
With yellow feet-and dewy fingered
And down the lane, the loaded waih'
Came numbering on, and the girls came mter,
with tumbled hair, round faces FAR,
with childike glee and merry laughter.
Young farmer Blake took the tiny rake,
From the little hands of Jessie Perry;
While with look askance, and sidelong glance,
AT their expense the rest made merry.
And Jessie, in pride, LEFT young Rlake's side,
And tossed her head in manner naughty;
But he whistled song, and sauntered along
Though dearly he loved thislmaiden naughty
The ripened grain they took from the vain,
And heaped in the barn, now running over
With the weight it bore, of its garnered store;
With its new.mown hay and its fragrant clover.
And down by the well, it there befell,
While the horses drank of the cooling water,
In the pale twilight, all was made Alright,
Twixt Blake and Jessie, the farmers daughter.

Cause of Weakness After Bathing.

THE Journal Of HeolM says the cause OF
weakness after bathing is bathing at the
wrong time; too great fatigue at the time
of bathing; too much bathing; too long
continued bathing. When one is made
weak by a bath, he should cease to take
that bath. There is a great deal too much
bathing carried on. The use of water in
this country has come TO be with people
whose attention has been called thereto
only less dangerous than the use of medi-
cine. God has not made the human body
to be immersed in water all the time. Ii
persons would live rightly, they would
need TO battle but very little. Natures
plan of bathing if all Of the ordinary con
ditions of life are right, is through the
sweat of the body; and one of the best
ways of bathing we have ever found with
feeble patients, is to have them drink very
largely of the water of orr springs-always
drunk, however, in very small quantities
at a time-but drunk very frequently, and
so battle their skins from the inside. This
is one kind of bathing that is not danger
Gus if rightly administered. The best
time for taking a bath is at that period OF
the day when the sun is in its progress to
the highest point in the heavens. Along
the forenoon is the best time to battle,
other things being equal

He had failed somewhere-in study or

called him back he dd hear her, and he will

The Administration is beginning 10 show its
energy in the prosecution of frauds the Govern
ment. A childish old woman named Betty Whalan

We will not say that the above punish
ment was not deserved. On the contrary,
we insist upon it that every violation ofthe
law shall be severely punished But we
do not wish that the law shall only be in
existence and in force for the poor and
lowly, and that the rich shall go unpun-
ished. 1T a poor woman, who has de-
frauded The Government of fifty or IA hun

are due the Government on the part of its
officers. Why are they not prosecuted
and sent to jail?
The Freedman's Bureau frauds are said
to amount to over $150000.
Attorney General Williams, in his re-
port to the Secretary of War on this sub
ject. says: " The papers which you en-
close TO me show that considerable sums
of money have been taken from the Treas
ury by officers in the bureau by means Of
the torged receipts and couclsers for bounties
due cotored soldiers, and by mems Of re-
ceipts and c0uchers .tradutentlg procured

Yet nothing has been done, and the
criminals are not only still free, but con-
tinue to enjoy their high and lucrative
positions under the Government.

Winter Care of Horses.

CONSIDERABLE is written nowadays
about false economy in various ways.
My observation leads to the conclusion
that one important item is almost entirely
overlooked, and that thousands of dollars
are lost each year by the careless winter
ing of farm horses. For instance, farmer
a owns fine span of horses; he is not
much of horseman, but in the summer
he works them, and keeps a man who
takes good care of them. In the fall,
after work is over, the horses are put into
the stable and fed all the hay they will
eat (be the same good or bad); are left
perhaps a week or two at time, with lit
tie or no exercise, and, when they are
driven, are let go at the top of their
speed. Fast driving, with stomachs full
of undigested hay, is the very worst of
treatment. The result is that, in year
or two, the horses have the heaves badly,
are spoiled for market, and are unable to
do the usual amount of service on the
farm or road; and this alone causes a loss
each year so long as the team is used.
This could in some degree be avoided
by building shed with e yard for exer-
else, and by feeding food of sufficient
strength TO keep the muscles in full
strength. Some say that wintering hor-
SEES in the field on hay alone, will cause
falling away of muscles and strength diff
cult to regain. No doubt, being chilled
by standing in Il cold barn is very in
furious to horses.-C0r. Country Gentle

BE sure that the horse YOU purchase has
symmetry, viz: is well proportional
throughout Never purchase horse be
cause he has Il splendid development of
one part of his organization if he is lack
ing in any other. Above all, keep well in
mind what you are buying for, and buy
the horse best adapted to the work you
will require of him; and when such an
animal is yours be content. Never
jockey. An occasional exchange may be
allowable; but the daily Swapping" of
horses advertiScs Il mans incompetency
for ANYTHING higher. Another caution is
this, Never purchase a horse until you
have seen him move, and under the same
conditions TO which lac will be exposed in
the service you will expect of him. Ii for
ii draft see him draw, back, and turn
round in both directions if for the road,
see how he handles himself, not merely on
level ground, but going up sharp dcclivi-
tics, and, above all, in descending them.
In this way you will ascertain the faults
or exccllencies of both his temper and
structure.

Business men almost universally recognize
the necessity of Fire Insurance, in order To
protect themselves from the great risks i'll
business, and, in fact, Il merchant would not
be considered worthy of trust if he did not
insure his goods. While all, therefore, rccog-
nize the necessity of insuring their property,
many fail to see that their lives also have a
certain insured value to their families, cs-
peciaily those that have no capital, as their
labor is the sole support of their families,
which in casse of death is lost to them The
only means by which this value may be in
sured is by means of policy of Life Insur
ance in good company. One of the best Of
these is the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Com

Strippings.

ALL dairy women know that strippings,
or last milk obtained from the uddcr, are
richer i'll butter globules than the other
portions of the milk. This is especially
the case when the cows remain mt rest be-
fore milking. If this be doubted, let the
cows run from the pasture to the milking
yard, and note the result. Although it
will make no difference in the butter pro-
duct whether the strippings, if taken, be
churned separately from or i'll connection
with the cream Of the other milk obtain
ed, it docs make a large difference in both
the quantity and quality of the butter
produced. Hence we have always insist
ed that cows for the dairy, and especially
cows that are kept for furnishing the fam
ly with milk and cream, be not excited to
the detrimcnt of the quality of the milk.
In the case of these latter COWS, the
strippings are of consequence, as furnish
ing milk for coffee, etc, nearly equal in
richness to cream itself DR.. Anderson,
of Edinburgh, Scotland, who has given
much attention to subjects connected with
milk, has proved by actual analysis that
The last gill Of milk drawn from the udder
of Il COW contains sixteen times the
amount of cream incident to the first one,
the separation of the cream from the milk
taking place in part in the udder, particu-
larry in instances where the animal is suf
tercd to stand at rest for some time before

4 Serious Loss.

ONE of tn most serious losses to the
farmers of the West, especially OF the
newer portions, though the evil is seen
nearly every where, is that arising from
the waste of the coarse fodder or trough
feed'-corn.talk straw, etc. Corn is left
to ripen on the stalks, instead of being
cut and shocked, as it invariably should
be. The husking is not done till late in
October, and is often delayed even until
winter has set in. Cattle are then turned
into the fields to live off the stalks, but
they make very poor fodder after the nu-
trimcnt has been so thoroughly dried uD
and frozen out. When the small grain is
thrcshcd the straw is allowed to 90 to
waste-oftcn burned, which is a most
foolish and ruinous disposition To make
of it. Many farmer winters his cattle on
straw and cornstalks, and they come out
in the spring IN fine condition. But bv
far the larger proportion of the farmers
allow all this food to go to utter waste
We judge that the loss to the average
farmer in the Western States, from "A fail
ure to make the best use of his trough
feed" is at least ten per cent. annually
upon the amount of his productions This
loss, in the course of ten years, would
amount to a handsome figure. Many may
be unable, from the lack of means and
scarcity of labor, to utilize it-as in the
case of the returned Californian, who
''lost 100000" the first year he was in the
Golden State, from not having hogs to
fatten on the acorns; but little progress
might be made each year looking to a
complete saving of these matters after a
while. The subject is an important one,
and the farmers should make it matter
of thought and study.-Chicago Inter-
