When to Cut Gra,. for Hay.

Only those farmers who have pet the
Dry Oh the subject now hold that il is best
TO postpone hay.making until the grass is
thoroughly ripe. This idea no doubt, arose
from the notion that the taller the grass,
the more bulk and the more nutriment, it
win afford for stock To this was added o
belief that, after cutting, the bay should be
allowed to remain in the field until thor
oughy dry, the danger being that IL any
dampness remained heat or mould would
surely ruin the crop after it was housed
The most advanced farmers now hold mod
fled views in regard to both these points
and the practices of our ancestors, in this
respect, are fast going out of fashion. 1t

it is not good for the stock. The requisite
return can be made with better advantage
to the land after the animals have extracted
from the stalks all that is good for them.
The object Of the hay-maker should be to
cut his crop Just when it is at its fullest
vigor, when the stalks are tender and Juicy,

But mamma soon set things TO rights f,
aud when she explained that Chris intended
putting her fifty cents into the contribution
box in Sunday.school the next day, he
kindly tossed a crisp new dollar bill into her
plate, rcmarking that he would make her a
present Of the remainder. So Chris bought
some Of the water transfers, after all, and
divided with lazy Prissy who, by the way,
was so tormontcd with a sick head ache
from ovcr.cating Of sweeimoats that she
could not attend her class in Sabbath-school
next day and lay upon the lounge athomc,
wishing she had staid away from the party,
and wishing that Chris would bring her an
interesting book and read aloud to her
While Chris, on the other hand, sat be-
side her teacher and listened to a very in
tercsting missionary letter that the super.

happy and thankful, when Mr.. Price passed
around the box, that she could drop 10 her

Once Only.

A shy little girl came to Sabbath.school.
She was poorly dressed--a calico gown; a
hat trimmed with faded green ribbons /;
slippers, not boots, thin slippers, which
looked as if somebody had given them to
her, and small shawl on her shoulders.
Miss Jones brought her in, and she was in
Miss Jones class.
Miss Jones class were girls very nicely
dressed. They had feathers, and fresh
ribbons, and fashionable boots. Miss Jones'
class, too, all knew each other. Well how
did they receive the little stranger Very
glad, of course, to welcome her to the Sab.
bath-school, and their class, too, because
they had often heard how the Lord Jesus
became poor for their sakes, aud how lie
left the poor among US to feed and care for,
Did they receive her kindly2 Not a
bit. When she sat down on the seat beside
them they moved away. They glanced their
eyes at her dress, then at each other, and
laughed contemptuously. When she looked
wistfully up to them for look Of kindness,
they turned their faces another way, All
their conduct seemed to say, ave are
above you, and what business have you here,
wonder2" Oh, was it not cruel2
The little girl never went again. Per-
baps she was driven from Sunday.school
forever. Let every person, great and small
remember this that all who laugh at the
poor laugh at God, and He will not alway'
be Knocked.

Destroying Insects.

A writer in French horticultural jour-
nal relates his experience; After sunset
| place in the center Of my orchard an old
barrel, the inside of which have pre-
yiously tarred. At the bottom of the bar
rel, | place lighted lamp. Insects Of
many kinds, attracted by the light, 90 for
the lamp, and, while circing around it,
strike against the sides of the barrel, where,
meeting with the tar, their wings and legs
become so clogged that they fall helpless
to the bottom. In the morning | examine
the barrel, aud frequently take out Of it
ten or twelve gallons of cock-chafers, which
at once destroy. A few pence worth of
tar employed in this way, will, without any
further trouble, be the means Of destroy
ing innumerable numbers of these insects,
whose lary@ are among the most destruc-
tive pests the gardener or farmer has to
contend against"

Cleanliness in Milking.

So much has been said aud written in re.
gard to cleanliness in milking, and it is so
Obvious that milk which is to be used for
or TO be manufactured into human food
should be perfectly clean, that it seems al.
most surcrfuous to call attention to the sub
icot But in spite Of all that has been
said, Glthy practices creep into use. One
Of these is milking in the rain, or when the
COW is so wet that the water will run down
her sides aud drip into the milk pail
The hair aud skin Of the COW are covered
with accumuations Of porspiratiou, aud to
soak these mp aud rinse them down her
sides into the milk, is as injurious as it is
filthy.
Another defect sometimes occurs from
no, thoroughly cleansing the tcats aud I'D.
der before commencing to milk, A thor
ough brushing is always necessary to get
OIL the loose hairs aud dirt, and if the teats
have become otherwise filthy, they should
be washed. but not MIXED till they are dry.
A pail OF water aud cloth should always
be at hand for this purpose. When milk
ing is done in a stable, there is sometimes
O neglect to provide absorbens to soak up
liquid cxcremcnt, and to prevent spattcr.
ing This is both violation Of cleanliness
aul wastcfu IL can be easily guarded
against los the use of straw, aw.dust, dried
muck or something Of the kind. Still an.
other filthy practice is that Of drawing a
little milk into the hand and wetting the
tcats with it before beginning to milk

Watering Horses after Meals.

1t is the practice with many horsemen
to give their horses no water, until after
they have eaten their allowance of food.
Concerning this practice, veterinarian
writes A full drink Of water Immediately
after being fed should never be allowed to
horses. When water is drank by them
the bulk Of it goes directly to the large in
testines, and little of it is retained in the
stomach In passing through the stomach,
however, the water carries considerable
quantities Of the contents to where it lodges
in the intestines. If, then, the food of
horses stomacbs is washed out before it is
digested, no nourishment will be derived
from the feed In Edinburgh, some old
horses were fed with split peas, and then
supplied with water Immediately before be-
ing killed. 1t was found that the water
had carried the peas from fifty to sixty feet
into the intestines, where no digestion took
place at all"

4" Only II Flower"

One day a poor little deformcd fellow,
named Tom, who could not walk was seated
in his little chair outside the cottage door.
Tom had great pain to endure; he could not
jump about and play like his brothers, Will
lie and George. lie knew that he would be
helpless and full Of pain all his life; that he
would never be anything at home but "poor
Tom, causing his mothers heart to ache,
and tears to sulfusc her eyes, when she
looked at his pale, pain-worn face; and his
father to hoaye heavy signs, and sometimes
even to turn away and draw his coat sleeve
hastily across his eyes, as he thought of his
afflicted boy.
As he was seated at the door some chill
dren came by, and when they saw how de-
formed he was, and that he could not walk,
they began to make some very uukind re-
marks about him, and even taunt him be-
cause of bis misfortune. Now Tom had had
much of this naughty conduct towards him
to bear before, and he had been very brave
but this morning he felt more poorly and full
ofpain than usual, and the cruel words stuug
him more keenly and, putting his thin
hands up to his face, he burst into tears.
The naughty children soon ran away; ali |!
but they couldn't take with them the arrows
with which they had pierced the little boys
heart.
But while he was sitting looking so sad, a
little girl came along, and Toms heart gave
great bound of fear lest she also would
tease him. She had a pretty flower in her
hand, and was admiring its beauty very in.
tently; and so she did not raise her soft,
grey eyes, until she was very near Tom, but
when she saw him, she looked so kindly at
him, he was delighted, aud thought he might
venture to smile Then the little girl smiled,
too, walked to his side, and said, giving him
the flower; Little boy, will you have it ?
Its only a flower, but I'm rery sorry for
you !"
Oh, how pleased Tom wasl and was it
only with the flower, think your No, not
with that only but also with the kind
words and sympathzing looks he so rarely
saw in a child's face.-Child's Magazine
