A little golden head
That was nodding DER picture book
And pretty soon said,
"Come, darling, you are sleepy,
Don't you want to - to bedF
" No." she said, 81 isn't sleepy,
But can't hold up my head
" Just now, it feels so heavy,
There isn't any use T;

On dear old Mother Goose
| sha'nt shut up my eyes at all,
And so you need not fear;
IN keep 'em open, all the while,
To see this picture here.n
And then, as said nothing,
She settled for a nap
One curl was resting on the irill
OF the old lady's cap;
Her arms embraced the children small
Inhabiting the shoe -

For this will never do"

Til the clock struck its ding, ding"
And then went around aud kissed

But guess I'll go to bed"

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.


IN NtulkSs
A Dutchess County correspondent
the New York Tribune says:
Some years since, being short Of fodder,
and having on hand about twenty head of
cattle. thought would try to econo-
mise by cutting and cooking feed. was
able TO procure lot of cornstalks at four
cents bundle, These | cut up with
Daniels cutter. / procured large kettle
and six hogshead tubs, ut a cost Of about
twenty dollars. stamped the tubs full
of cut stalks, mixed with bran, and pour
ed over each tub full twenty gallons of
boiling water, spreading an inch of bran
over the top to keep down the steam. The
COWS ate the mixture clean, and throve
upon it, preferring it to hay should
think it went twice as far as long stalks.
In order To economist on labor the next
winter procured steamer, which plac.
ed several rods from the stable, connect.
jng il with gas pipes laid underground to
IA box in the stable holding seventy bush
els. This | filled with stalks and bran,
thoroughly wetting it, and turned on the
steam. kept on the steam five or six
hours, and then it was not as savory
mass as the scalded stuff. In neither case
did | discover that the cows either gave
more milk or kept in hotter condition then
they did upon uncooked food. The only
gain was In their eating the fodder clean.
err. The experiment satisfied me that the
butts of the stalks were worth full as
much as the leaves for fodder if che could

eat them. To steam good hay or fodder
which cows will eat up clean without
being starved to it is worse than labor
thrown away 0ne.half of the saving Oh
the corn stalks can be obtained by simply
cutting, with one.tenth as much expense
as it takes 20 steam. Then the uneaten
portion of the stalks makes splendid
bedding and lightens up the manure fine
ly. In fact, for the sake of the manure it
pays to cut stalks, for every farmer knows
what nuisance long stalks are in manure.
1t is proper to state that ! did not have
water convenient to the barn, but had 10
bring It in milk cans ON sleigh from
spring some twenty rods distant
/ save about ten bundles of stalks per
day, one-half to be credited 20 cutting and
oRe.halfto steaming. Could l have pro.
cured more stalks the saving would have
amounted to but twenty cents a day, be-,
as ] could not DO Sc it saved me about one
dollars worth of hay. Since that time |
have been able to procure more stalks
than needed. From this experiment |
have arrived at the following conclusions:
l. 1t does not pay to steam unless one
has every convenience of water and
labor-saving apparatus, and then only
for large amount of stock.
2. Is does not pay to steam good hay
or any fodder which cows in good condi.
ton will eat up clean.
3. 1t does not pay at all where labor
is high and fodder cheap.
4. For the ordinary farmer it will not
pay to 20 to the expense of fitting up a
steaming apparatus.
5. Where it pays at all it is only in
exceptional cases, and will not do to
depend upon as general rule.

Is Intellectual Labor A Transformation
of Heat.

In the course of very able essay ON
Pulmonary Respiration and Animal Heat,
VI. Oh. Blondeau incidentally considers
this question, and answers it in the mega
tive. Brain work, says be. is accompanied
by phenomena much the same as those
attending manual labor. The tension of
the brain, no less than the tension of the
muscles, gives rise to heat, aa may be as
certained without thermometer. When
man is deeply intent on writing or
thinking, his circulation grows more
rapid; The arteries pulsate with increased
force, and the brow is sometimes covered
with persplration; in short, it is clear
that the nervous excitement under which
he labors produces in his body great
amount of heat, and that it will gain in
force in proportion to the heat generated?
We do not believe that any such relation
exists between heat and Intellectual
phenomena, and propose physical inter-
probation for the increase of temperature
accompanying cerebral action, which APP
pears to be more rational. The tension
of the nervous system, and in particular of
the encepbalic mass: produces "a kind of
paralysis of the great sympathetic nerve
The functions of nutrition are retarded,
but at the same time there occurs a dila
ton Of the bloodvessels, and consequently
an increased afflux of blood, which is
diffused in great quantity through the
entire system. The result is, sufiiciency
of heat to facilitate the play of the organs;
and then the mind is left free TO give itself
up to the subjects which engross it. The
heat which is felt while the brain is active
renders thinking easier, but has no part in
the conception or creation of the works of
the intellect This view of the increased
circulation accompanying intellectual la
Dor is confirmed by the results which we
observe flowing from excessive brain
work, namely, heaviness, trouble in the
head. which can only be accounted for by
a flow Of blood to that region then, if in
spite OF that admonition one continues
still to work, the consequence generally is
cerebral congestion, or apoplexy, caused
by protracted tension of the brain.-Gdi-
arg for March.

Ashes inthe OrcIlard.

d. W. Kaufman of Des Moines, Ia,
writes to the Iowa Homestead, that ashes
are worth one dollar per bushel to put
about fruit trees, and that he would not
sell his ashes at that price, and do with
out their use in the orchard. lie has
used ashes about fruit trees for fifteen
years, and during all that time has never
seen borer where ashes were used. The
torer is a terrible pest to the fruit grower,
and if all other impediments to the sue
cessful growing were as easily overcome,
and completely controlled as is
the borer, then fruit growing would
be vory successfully practised. At the
recent meeting of the Fruit Growers
Association of Ontario, Mr.. Noodle stated
that he had ben in the habit OF using
unleached ashes as manure for his fruit
and that he values them more highly
for this purpose than barn yard manure.
If our farmers knew the value Of wood
ashes for the garden, orchard and farm,
they would not sell them for few cents
per bushel. The ashes that they barter
for few pounds Of soap would, if ap-
piled to the soil, so increase their crops of
fruit and grain as to yield them ten times
the value they now get for them.
