A Century's Changes.

The nineteenth century has witnessed
many and great discoveries.
In 1909, Fulton took out the first
patent for the invention Of the steam
boat.
The first steamboats, which made reg
ular trips across the Atlantic ocean
were the Sirius and the Great Western,
in 1889.
The first public application to prac-

ton was made in 1902.
In 1913 the streets of London were
for the first time lighted with gas.
In 1913 there was built in Waltham,
Mass, q mill, believed to have been the
first in the world which combined all
the requirements of making finished
cloth from raw cotton.
In 1890 there were only twenty-five
post-offices in the whole country, and
up to 1887 the rates of postage we're
twenty-five cents for every four hundred
miles.
In 1907 wooden clocks commenced tc
be made by machinery. This ushered
in the era of cheap clocks.

A correspondent of the Michigan
Farmer gives the following sensible
directions
The best food for the brood mare is
coInstalks, or good timothy hay, with
four quarts of ground oats and wheat
bran, equal parts each day The ground
oats and bran not only enable the dam
to make all necessary preparation to
supply the coming foal with nourish-
ment ct the time most needed, but keep
her healthy and strong, and enable her
to feed the growing foetus on the very
best kind of material to make the best
bone and muscle. The dam should
have moderate exercise, but iu&should
be regular. IF she is used in team.
she should not be driven faster than a
walk, nor loaded too heavy, for IN eth.
er case there is danger of injuring the
dam and running TIE foal. She should
be housed or sheltered nights, and in
all stormy weather.
As foaling time approaches, she par
ticuiarIy needs the practiced eye of the
careful and experienced breeder. For
she should be watched day and night,
as many valuable colt has been lost.
that two minutes labor, at the particu-
lar time, would have saved. As soon
as the colt is dropped, the attend
ant should see that its head is free
from the blanket, as it viii otherwise
soon smother or drown. The next
thing is to sever the umbilical cord
about five inches from the foaI, and tie
the end next to the young colt with a
string, to prevent bleeding this, if
possible, should be done before the
dam rises, as many a foal has been rup-
tured at the navel by the dam rising be-
fore the string was severed. After the
above has been promptly attended to.
leave the dam alone with the foal for
an hour. IF, at the end of that tic e,
through weakness or any other cause,
the young foal has been unable to Sc
cure its natural nourishment from its
dam. the attendant with whom the dam
is most familiar should lose no time in
rendering the NECESSARY assistance by
holding the colt at the side, and push
ing the nose to the DAM
After the colt Is able to draw its
-nonrishme Mt from the dam without the
aid of the attendant. little need be done
bat furnish shed if the weather is in
element, and good, liberal supply OF
hay or stalks, and a peck ofeground
oats and bran per day until there is q
fun bite OF green spring grass.

TranspIanting Cotton-Plants.

A Georgia planter has succeeded in
securing valuable return from cotton
plants, the seeds of which were eermi-
mated in hot beds, the plants being af-
terward set out, as those of tobacco.
From report of these experiments
we learn that long pits were dug. about
three or four feet deep, into which were
placed rough boxes, resting on planks,
filed with manure and soft earth.
Into this rich soil the seeds were
planted in January. At night, and
during the colder days, the pits were
covered with canvass. In April, the
usual planting season, these protected
plants were a foot high. As the light
boxes rested npon plank, the trans
planting was eflected by removing these
planks. with the plants, to the field,
and then slipping the plants into holes
Ding for them at the same time raising
the box ont, and thus the roots we're
not disturbed. The result was a yield
Of two bales to the acre, With no need
of additional manure, as with the
yonng crop planted in the usual way.

Feeling CnttIc.

Two-thirds Of the COWS kept in the
country would produce more than all
do now if they only had what they
ought to have to eat. 1t is not so much
improved breeds of stock that are
wanted as it's improved care of what
We have got. There is no economy IL
letting al animal get poor but some
people seem to think 1t is all gain If
they only save little hay by the opera
ton. some people argue that they
could make it up on grass, not thinking
that every pound lost is lost, and has
got to be replaced. Whereas, if the
animal had~such feed as 1t ought to
have, it would not have been lost.
One thing that cattle need aud do not
get is plenty OF salt they ought to have
/ some every day, but many do not get il
once q month. The best plan of feed
ing is to give from four to five quarts Of
meal, or corn and oats ground together
(the finer the better well salted, the
first thing in the morning then roots,
after which the cattle are turned into
the yard, where they have a feed OF
straw and stacks to work at, and plenty
of water to drink At might give them
what good hay they Will eat. They
keep in first rate order on this.

THE ENGINEER.

It was grave and quiet th-
Until he linked his fate with those
Who engineers would be.
For, as he was an honest man,
It gave him bitter pain
That, Ike convict, he should be
Compelled to drag chain.
He ne'er aspired to wealth or fame,
And have heard him say
No monarch would he wish to be
OF all lie did survey.
A cunning engineer was he,
Yet naught with him went right,
Nor could he his i'll luck foresee,
In spite Of his foresight"
Twas all in vain this engineer
Would work with main and might;
His work was incorrect, because
His angles were ell right q
All day his level he would run,
But all he gained by that
Was Just to know that he himself.
And not the ground, was " Hat"
To make map he never tried
Bot what he cursed his lot
Not his the dark and willy arts a
And so he could not "plot."
As he laid out the land one day,
Like any other elf,
The fever came, and very soon
He was +" laid out " himself.
Twelve men upon his body sat,
Aud this verdict did MAKE 4:
Z" We find he died, just as he lived,
martyr to tue stake"
And so at twenty years Of age
He quit this mortal strife,
And ended here for eyermore
His frG3isitOTU life.

FRESH LOT OF EPITAPHs.
Some Genufne Church. Yard Curiosities
Post-MOrtem Poetry,

Some Genufne Chureh-Yard Curiosities-
Post-MOrtem Poetry,
Mr.. Farley. in his Epitaphiana,
gives us the following, which he found
recorded Gin memorium of an avari-
cious man:
At rest beneath this church-yard Stone
Lies stingy Jenny wyatt;
He died one morning just at ten, and
Saved dinner by it.
The literary skill was sometimes
sorely tried, and in an emergency Gre
alive genius had to do her utmost to
tide over the difficulty. Hence from
Biddeford church-yard
The wedding-day appointed was,
And wedding clothes provided;
But ere that day did come, alas
He sickened. and hs-die did.
There is something tenderly and
touchingly simple and beautiful about
the next quotation from the book:
Life ID an inn upon market-day;
Some sho t-pprsed pilgrims breakfast and
away;
| Some to dinner stay, and get full fed,
1 And other after supper steal TO bed
Large are the bills who hnger out the day;
! The shortest stayers have the least TO pay.
The following is not bad on a country
sexton:
!
Who Wilhelm tolled the bell;
Could dig agrave, or set stave,
- say Amen, full well.
| ForScred songs he'd SternhOld's tongue,
And Hopkins exc also;
W TIA cough and hem he stood by them
As far a. Mngs would so.
Many feast for worms he drest,
| Himself then wanting bread
! But To- he's gore with skim and bone,
To starve EN- now he's dead
Here. take his spade, and use his trade,
Since he is out of BREATH
Cover the bones Of him who once
Wrought jOurneY-Work for Death.
A Mr.. Dickson, once provost of Dun
dee. left by his will the sum of one
guinea to compose aR epitaph for him.
The executors, three IN number, not
liking to give the guinea to any person
who might hit upon few suitable lines,
determined to keep the guinea for them
selves By writing each OF them line /:
First. Here lies Dickson. Provost of Dundee.
| ecOI,d-Here les Dickson. here lies he.
The third was not put to it for long
time, but under pressure of the desire
for his share of the guinea, bawled out
vooiferously his proposal for the third
line:
On a lawyer and his client
God works wonde IS now and then:
Here lies lawyer and an honest maR.
Bat an answer came to it in the fol
lowing form:
This is a mere law bubble, not a wonder;
he lies q lawyer, and his client der
Ore cannot refuse need of admira-
ton to the clever epitaph on crier Of
periwinkles, from Chichester cathedral.
There is a vein of genuine humor in it
-humor which Is even allied to tender
ness:
sPeriwinks peIiwinklesl was ever her cry;
She labored 70 live, poor and honest to die.
At the last day again how her old eyes VIII
twinkle
For no more viii she cry, - Periwinzs peri

4 Pleasant Place for Parker.

Our young friend Parker went round
the other evening to visit the two Miss
Smiths. After conversing with them
for a while, Miss Susan excused herself
a few moments, and went up stairs.
Presently Parker thought he heard her
coming, and, slipping behind the door,
he suggested that the other miss should
tell Miss Susan that he had gone. But
it wasn't Miss Susan, it was old Mr..
Smith in his slippers. As he entered
he looked around and said to his daugh-
ter:
"Ah. Ia SoaParker's gone, has
he? Good riddance. don't want any
such lantern-jawed, red-haired idiot
foolin' round here. He hasn't got the
sense of a ruttabaga turnip, or money
enough to buy clean shirt. He gets
none of my daughters. I'll shake the
everlasting life out of him if / catch
him here again, mind me !"
just as he concluded, Susan came
down. and not perceiving Parker, said
"Thank goodness, he's gone That
man is enough to provoke a saint. !
was awfulIy afraid he was going to stay
aud spend the evening. Mary Jane, ]
hope you didn't ask him to come
again.
Then Parker didn't know whether TO
stay there or bolt, while Mary Jane
looked as if she would like to drop
into the cellar. But Parker finally
walked out, rushed to the entry, seized
his hat, shot down the steps, and went
home meditating upon the emptiness oil
human happiness and the uncertainty
of the Smit s. He has not called
since
