WHEN . DREAM COMES TRUE.

hold your hand in mine, my darling, DARING;
l look within your eyes;
ask you idle questions only caring
To hear your low replies.
And all the while the glimmer of a wonder
moon-lt rack of cloud
Fits DER my silent heaven Of joy while under
It's stars my soul is-bowed
think how oft the future will require 1t
"Ah, how then did it seem'"
Tomorrow and tomorrow Will desire it
Vainly as any cream
What is it more? In dreams the eyes are holden
They know not near from far

And such LIES visions are

For something still divides"
o fire of Col o living, winged creature
That in his clay doth rise,
How canst thou warm TO thy divner nature
These lips and hands and eyes
Too eager quest, that hastest to their meeting,
Hoping desire to fill
Thou aadesthalf abashed, in tenderest greeting
Yet finding welcome chill.
With stintcd bread the lifelong hunger staying,
With fasting visions blessed,
With longing that makes life perpetual pryalng,

yet, o dearest heart, the world grows dearer,
Because Ills sweet to stand

One moment hand to hand.
What will it be when every barrier breaking
Lets heart to heart come through?
Will heaven leave one corner for aching
When the long dream comes true?

REDUCING BONES FOR GARD

REDUCING BONES FOR GARDENs.-The
Country Gentleman says: 90 1t is not often
that bones can be collected on the farm in
sufficient quantity for field crops, but every
man who has n garden can make little
excellent manure by saving those within
his reach. 1t is useless to recommend
converting them into homemade super
phosphate by using sulphuric acid; the
difficulty and trouble of procuring the
acid away from the cities, and the care and
experience required to use it, are sufficient
objections. There are, however, two
modes of reducing the bones which every
gardener may easily adopt One is to
place them in thin layers in fermenting
heap of manure, which, if they are prtvi-
ously broken, will soften them enough to
cause crumbling, after the lapse of weeks,
when the heap is worked over. Even Il
common hot-bed will do, if the bones are
first broken into fragments. The other
mode is 10 boil them, as follows: Mix them
in large kettle with wood ashes; and to
make the ashes caustic, add about peck
of fresh lime to each barrel of bone.
Saturate and cover the ashes well with
water, and then apply heat for say twenty
four hours, or during the day for two sue
cessive days. All the bones by this time
except the very hardest parts will be so
reduced as to be easily pulverized, being in
a pasty condition, suitable for placing in
layers in making the compost heap. An
other day boiling will reduce the remain
der of the hard bones.

INFLAMMATORY FEVER IN CATTLE

1NFLAMMAToRY FEVER IN CATTLE.-To
an inquiry from a correspondent about this
disease the N. Y. Tribune replies: when
young stock, especially calves, are sub
,jected to a sudden change of feed, and
from comparatively poor or rich susie
nance, are put upon that of an entirely
different character, the blood is at once af-
fected. The altered condition is shown by
fever, Inflammation of the mucous mem
branes, especially about the eyes and the
interior of the nose and nostrils, and a
running from all of these. This frequently
changes to stiffness of the limbs, with
lameness and swelling. Afterward death
is usually very sudden. The complaint is
a blood disease known as quaterill. black.
quarter. infarhmatory fever, anthrax &c.
It is seldom cured, but may be prevented.
Caution should be exercised in changing
the feed. Cold. damp, and excessive
warmth should alike be avoided. Upon
the appearance of the first symptom of
disorder, a dose of salts lof six to eight
ounces) should be given, followed by half
an ounce of hyposulphite of soda. twice
daily for a lew days. administered in the
feed or dissolved in water. A little linseed
oil-cake meal should also be supplied each
day. The disease may be communicated
by means of the discharge from the nose.

THE AFFECTION OF A DOG.-Many re-
markable instances of the affection display
ed by dogs for their dead owners have been
published from time to time, and an ac-
quaintance relates the following:
The proprietor of one of the hotels in
Richford, Vt. has dog in his possession
who is slowly terminating his days in grief
for the loss of his master. The previous
proprietor of the hotel owned the dog,
which has black and tan blood in his veins,
for almost eighteen long years, and was
very much attached to him. The attach
ment was reciprocated by the dog, and
about year ago the master was taken i'll
and died. During his sickness the dog
was shut up in a stable for the purpose OF
keeping him quiet and of weaving him
from his master, whose absence he would
most loudly bewail in the manner pecrl-
liar to such animals, and shortly after the
funeral the poor brute was liberated. He
Immediately instituted Il search for the
grave of his late master, and soon found it,
and would not leave for three weeks. He
was subsequently taken home, and for the
past eleven months us been well fed and
kindly cared for by the present occupants
of the hotel, but no amount of kindness
and petting will elicit from himElny mani.

follow his deceased master.

three young men to work on his farm.
He told each man that he must be up

He had faithful old rooster who never

TIE RTTCKWHEAT PANCAKE.-IS an 9

THE BUCKwHEAT PANCAKE.-Is an az
ticle largely used; but, as commonly pre-
pared it is not lit to serve up at the table.
1t is heavy and distressing to the stomach.
Though the batter may be Ii 5ht, yet when
it gets on the griddle it is apt to fall and
become the heavy, indigestlble thing we
find it. Not unfrequently it is sour. Now
all this can be obviated, and a light, palat-
able cake made, with 4 little care, by the
addition of Graham flour mixed with the
buckwheat, the portion of the Graham
being little over a quarter. Mix the
flour to keep on hand ready for baking.
When wanted to be used, bring to batter
with buttermilk. Other sour milk will
not do; it must be milk from the churn
and it wants to be quite sour. Raise with
soda, and bake at once. The first baking
will in general not be satisfactory; it will
lack lightness. Still ii will be better than
the usual pancake. Now leave what bat
ter remains in a warm room. This will
somewhat raise it, and the cake, the next
morning, will be improved, another TWEEN

GREAsING- BUGGIEs AND WAGONS. = Says
the Canada Farmer, greasing buggies and
wagons is of more importance than some
imagine. Many wheel is ruined by oiling
too plentifully A well-made wheel will
endure constant wear from ten to twenty
years, if care be taken to use the right
kind and proper amount of oil; but if this
matter is not attended to, the wheel will be
used up in five or six years, or it may be
sooner. Lard should never be used on a
wagon, for it viii. penetrate the hub and
WORK its way around the tendons of the
spokes and spoil the wheel. Castor Oil is
u good material for use on an iron axle
just oil enough should be applied to a spin
die to give it a light coating; this is better
than more, for the surplus put on will
work out at the ends, and be forced by the
shoulders and nut, into the hub around the
outside of the boxes. To oil the axletree,
first, wipe the spindles clean with cloth
wet with turpentine, if 1T won't wipe with
out it. On "a buggy or carriage, wipe and
clean off the back and front ends of the
hubs and then apply very small quantity
of castor oil ..or more especially prepared
lubricator, near the shoulders point.

field Republican:
In your issue of the 9th inst. / noticed
an account of a fine orchard of young pear
trees, the bark on the bodies of which had
been eaten entirely off from the ground,
some inches upward. by mice, and it was
spoken ofas if the trees must necessarily
be lost. Will you permit me to say through

FOLIAGE PLANTs-A great mistake

FOLIAGE PLANTs.-A great mistake is
made by many in the arrangement of the
garden, in not giving sufficient attention
to foliage plants. A bed of flowers may
be ever 20 rich, and the display of colors
NAV be dazzling. but if there is no frame
work of living green, the effect on the eye
is rather painful than otherwise. The fault
of many gardens is too much glare. Masses
of brilliant fowers-red, yellow, white and
scarlet-are grouped together, until the gar
den is all afiame with radiant colors, and its
gorgeousness is oppressive How refresh
ing it it to the eye to have here and there
a clump of rich, dark green foliage to rest
on! While the gaudy hues of the flowers
have tendency to aggravate the heat of a
summer day, the living green of the foil
age is suggestive of cool, refreshing shade.
In every flower garden there should be
borders of emerald turf as framework
to the beds, and to occupy space not allot-
ted to the flowers. Foliage plants can be
used with fine effect interspersed with the
flowers, and in every garden green should
be the prominent color. or ground, while
the flowers form the embroidery. In the
arrangement of flowers in vases and bas-
kets the same order should prevail. A
bouquet without a background of cedar,
arborvita, or some other evergreen is
never complete, and is all the more per-
feet if ferns and grasses are interspersed.

Cows.-An old correspondent writes !;
There is a marked difference in cows,
and in different bloods. But there is quite
as much difference by feed as by blood.
the best COW on poor feed becomes poor
COW, and some ordinary cows on good
feed becomes excellent. The Jersey is
excellent blood, and good ones are desir-
able. But other bloods, that are really
good, give more milk and make quite rs
good or better butter. speak that do
know. The Dutch cattle have surprised
us by quantity and quality of milk and
butter, but we have not heard, and there
fore could not be surprised at the guam
THY of oat and corn meal they ate. Ma
lives are found here and there which have
equaled or surpassed either of these bloods
in quantities of milk, and equaled them, at
least, in quality of butter. But they did
not make their butter on pea straw. In
fact, they wanted some better diet that
white grass either in pasture OF barn. An
other very desirable quality in a dairy COW
is Il cool pantry, undisturbed by feet need
iesslv running in and out, and the last
quality of a great butter-naker, is quail
flied woman to care for the milk. When
you get COWS with these qualifications and
accomplishments, by all means keep them
for YOU cannot better yourself, and a for
tune is in them, though they are not Jer
