In Scotland it is difficult for man 10 draw
the line between courtship and a connubial
condltion. That which in the Enslishman is
but Irritation would become in the Scotch
man rank matrmony. Most people in Scot
land are married, but they are not aware of
the fact as Monsieur. Jourdaln did not KIN Nv
that he had been talking prose all his life; tha
distinction is drawn when they do become
aware, and then the marriage is avowed. In
Wales courtship takes material form
among the humber classes, at east-and re-
solves itself into what we call romping. In

Well, in the first place, it shows me

even the lestlest and homeliest. The bee
gets it in the onlkeliest places, you see he
don't turn up his nose at mullein-stalk,
no more'n he does at garden-pink and
shouldn't wonder if the Lord had put lest
as much honey in one as t'other But if

about as much honey in one mans road as
another's--if he only knew how to look for
it, and didn't despise mullein.stalks.
"Then the bee shows me its a mans bu.

We are glad to believe that the past few
years have witnessed great improvements
in the winter management Of cows, but
there is evidently room for a great deal
more Some farmers practice drying their
COWS in early winter aud then feeding them
on poor hay until within week or two of
their calving, when they begin to stuff them
with meal and continue this process until
the calf is a week old or the COW dies.
Under such treatment it is not STANCE that
so many cows are every year lost or ruined.
From the time a COW is dry until she drops
her calf she should DO kept in good condi-
ton, and if when dried she is in no better
flesh than COWS usually are, should be kept
gaining. If this is done and she is properly
tended at the time she is almost certain 10
" come in all right. Let her run loose
for time before she drops her calf, the
longer the better. Feed her upon food that
is opening aud cooling, such as bran, oats or
roots, but keep Indian meal, which is heat.
ing, away from her. When she has drop.
ped her calf see that she does not become
chilled and make her food light, Give
her all the drink she wants but have it warm.
Do not be in too much of hurry to make
her give large mess of milk, and if you
feed any provender during the first week it
should be very light, say two or three quarts
of oats per day. Treated in this way very
few cows would have milk fever; but, If
through mismanagement, the feeding of In.
dian meal, the giving of cold water or al
lowing her to stand in wind and get cold,
a fever should come on, give the COW mild
opening medicine of lard or oil, and be sure
to keep the bag cool by rubbing it with cold
water Keep her on light food and take
good care Of her, aud nature will soon bring
her out right. Except something to keep
her bowels loose, little medicine IS needed.
