"She loved much" Such the legend sweet
That circled her in Magdala OF yore,
Who, dearest, thine expressive title bore;
And o. to shadow forth thysef how meet!
She sits beside the loving Masters feet,
She laves them with her tears and golden tresses,
And every act of after-life expresses
How like she was to Him she came to greet
Tradition names her sinner. We as saint
Know her alone, in page of holy writ,
As one who joyed with Him. to sit;
As whom every artist learns TO paint,
Filled with love answering and ne'er faint,
Ready to suffer every earthly loss,
First ri the tomb, at last beside the cross;
Thrice blest love like hers that knows earthly

brown sugar, and half gallon molasses.

The above is the exact amount re-
0uired for ] GOO TBS. of pork. After
being in salt three to four weeks, take

hang it up for smoking. Three weeks

To Make Cows Give Milk.

! writer who says his COW gives all
the milk that is wanted in family of
eight persons, and from which was made
two hundred and sixty pounds of butter
this year, gives the following as his
treatment He says:
&c If you desire to get large yield of
rich milk give your COW every day water
slightly warm, slightly sailed, in which
bran has been stirred at the rate of one
quart to two gallons Of water. You
viii find il you have not tried this daily
practice that your COW will i've twenty
five per cent. more milk Immediately
under the effects of it, and she will be-
come so attached to the diet as to refuse
to drink clear water unless very thirsty;
bat this mess she will drink almost any
time and ask for more.
The amount OF this drink necessary
is an ordinary water pailful at time,
morning, noon and night.
Four hundred pounds of butter are
often obtained from good stock, and in
stances are mentioned where the yield
was even at a higher figure. .

How to Feed Corn Stalks Probably

The rearing and feeding of animals is
receiving as it should, from farmers
and herdsmen in all parts Ofthe country
greater attention every year; and
especially is this true of dairymen,
whose only hope of gain rests in their
success in obtaining paying yields from
their cows. Corn stalks enter largely
into the fall feed OF dairy cows, and
how to feed them is the important
question. The common practice is to
feed in the bundle, as but few farmers
feel able or willing to use a cutting
machine. This feeding in the bundle
without any preparation, [ am fully
satisfied, is very wasteful, as not only
are the butts left, but frequently nearly
the whole stalk.
[ have learned by experience that a
little brine sprinkled upon stalks once
every day, just before feeding, is of
material advantage in many respects
The weak brine will cause the COWS to
consume nearly all, even when fed
whole: the flow of milk increases, the
condition of the COWS improves, and
they show greater cOntcntment especial
" is this last remark true on cold,
windy and rainy days. [ find it much
better as a general rule, when it can be
done, to feed salt on the food instead
of feeding it alone. In no case should
more than one day be permitted to pass
without bringing the mornings feed.
The brine should not be strong, only
enough to furnish sufficient salt to the
COWS.
OF course the COWS should have ac-
cess to plenty of water this brine food
Will cause them to drink more, and thus
increase the flow of milk. Let my
brother farmers try this and they
will thereafter place a greater value
upon corn stalks
