SeaSOnahle Hints.

That an ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure" all are ready to admit,
but how slow mankind are to profit by it.
This maxim has peculiar application to
the care Of cows Immediately before and
at the time of calving. Most country
farmers let their COWS go dry from two to
three months, and during this period they
are expected to help eat the poor fodder
which, with most farmers, comprises quite
Il large proportion of the sum total of
winter feed of stock. Though the COW
does not give milk, yet, with the peculiar
axsupOn her system she will, in most
cases, not quite hold her own. Her flesh
is somewhat reduced, her hide just a little
tight" her coat rather staring, and her
bowels somewhat constipated.
March will soon b. here. and with it the
time for early calves. It's neither profit
able o. safe to let Mooley'' drop her calf
in the condition above described. A COW
that is gaining when she drops her calf
will rarely fail to do well. while one that
is going down hill is liable to retain the
afterbirth, and when she does this, she
receives II blow from which she will re-
quire all the season to recover. My prac-
tice is, to mix one part salt with two parts
ashes, and let her have access to it daily;
give her a few potatoes two or three times
a week, and half dozen ears of corn daily
T. II fortnight before calving. and this
trouble will be obviated. If she wants to
eat old boots and bones, or the shingles
from the barn, give her plenty of cobs. If
you are suspicious of garget, give her Il
quart of dry b ans twice Il week, for two
or three weeks and if anything will act us
preventive this will Some cows do not
have much of a bag before calving at this
season. so be sure and turn her loose in
season, and let her have plenty of straw.
If by any bud luck or mismanagement the
COW does not " clean" don't in mercy
name, send for the ncighborhnol" d 'ctor "
to ttke it from her; if you do, V on ought
to be handled by the society for the pre-
vntiOn of cruelty to amin is. Take the
best possible care of her and let nature
supply the pOun OF cure y0ur office a0,ts
to supply the ounc- of p ev.ntion. have
not had a COW retain the afterbirth for the
List fifteen years If she does well, do
not be in too much hurry to get up a full
flow of milk. Goo !, light. early cut hly
with a few oats, say two q lrts ii day for
the first week, is eed enough, and for tn ce
weeks feed bat little provender. Two
or three very light doses of altpetre, after
calging, will assist to cleanse the system,
and give Il healthy tone.-D. II. Thing, IN

THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY says
One of the great dtngers attending the
use of various sedatives employed in the
nursery, like SCOT ling syrup, is that they
tend to produce the g opium habit These
gu ok medicines owe their soothing and
quoting effects to the action of opium. and
the infant is by them given morbid appe-
tite for narcotic stimulants. The offering
for sale of such no trums should be pro-
hibited, as tending to the physical deterio-
ration of the race. In India mothers give
to their infants sugar pills containing
opium. and the result is a languid sen ual
race of hopeless debauchees. in the United
States the poisonous dose is administered
under annther name but the consequences
will probably be the same.

AN INCIDENT OF BEYRooT-One of the
most pathetic instances Of pure Orientalism
that ever came to my knowledge is related
as a positive fact While the children of
the Abeih school were playing together
one day at recess, two small girls fell into
pleasant dispute as to the size of certain
obiect-plaything, perhaps. One said,
"Ch, it was so rery little" and the other
asked, How little?" Then the missionary
looked out of the window, and heard her
answer. " Why, little wee thing" Then
the other pressed her still further. :. Well
how little?" to which the girl replied, I'M
conscious of the poetry or the pathos of
her comparison, - As little as was the Joy
of my father on the day was born,"-
