slowly to the shore, pulling the weight ai-
ter usi and when the water. was too shall
low for the boat, we threw the rope ashore,
and pulled away, and at last landed our
prize. 1t was most horrible looking
wretch-one of the skate kind. A fellow
who has seen the tail, and is up in that
sort OF thing, calls it a fine specimen of the
'Raia Myliobatis." Fine or not, it was Il

take. Scipio, however, was quite agreea-
Bile to pull away with u will at the tail
that had given him such an ugly cut; but
pulled his ear, and told him that now

He quite regained his spirits and energies,
and in less than a month all was done; the
machinery worked splendidly, and the
land was under water in less than ten days.
The old Turk gave Scipio his wife, whose

He did not look like q joker. One to
sit and study his face would have said
that his soul was lost in melancholy that
he didn't care two cents whether the sun
went down at noon or stayed up until seven
o'clock. He entered the ladies' sitting

whose husband had left the room about
ten minutes previously, and calmly inquir-
ed:

"He's drowned my husband is drown

the stranger.

band" she exclaimed, joyiully. II thought

mo, madam, did not. l saw him
buying peanuts, and believed it my duty
to say to you that peanuts are not healthy

He slid softly out, and she stood there
and chewed her parasol and started after
him as if he were q menagerie on wheels.

StaIl-FeedInR Cattle

The system of stall-feeding has acquired
considerable popularity among practical
men. BY many it is regarded as far the
most economical method of feeding do
mestic animals of all kinds, not only be-
cause OF tho smaller quantity of food re-
CURED, but because cows, when so kept,
afford mork mile than when pastured in
the ordinary way. In this way the ami
mails are supplied with an abundance of
green, sapid and succulent fodder; conse-
quentlY the health of the animal is better,
and the profit derived from it is greater
than when there is but scant or precarious
supply. BY introducing this mode of feed
ing, it is always possible to observe great
regularity in feeding, both as regards time,
quantity, and also to preserve steady
equilibrium in all the associated depart.
ments of domestic or rural economy a
RESULT which, although extremely desira-
bic, is often extremely difficult to obtain,
Inc result OF numerous experiments has
demonstrated beyond question that cattle
can he maintained not only at diminish
cd eXpense-so far as the actual value OF
food is involved but that they can be
kept in condition of more perfect health
by all'feeding than any other Manner
But it is always judicious, however, to
give them frequent exercise in the open
air, and this may be done while they are
out to water. In this country we have as
yet known but comparatively few instanc-
es in which stall-feeding, properly social
ed, has been Systematically adopted and
carried out. When any one has made any
attempt at approximating it, it has been
customary to produce the fodder from
patches of soft, highly cultivated land
made fertile by the application of the best
manure Corn has generally been the
grain resorted to for this purpose. 1t is
usually cut green and conveyed to the barns
as wanted. When more is cut than is re-
CURED for the necessities Of the day, 1t is
either laid by for the demands of the sue
ceeding day, or cured for the winter use.
Another advantage resulting from STALL
feeding is the more perfect economization
of the manure. 1t has been estimated that
the actual cost of keeping COW by STALL
feeding is less, by nearly one. fourth, than
by open pasturage, if pursued in the usual
way, and with the very best facilities to
secure manure.

A ScoTcH GIRLS ANswER.-A country
lass was driving donkey to fair in Rem
frewshire one fine summer morning. The
donkey was laggard, and was more in
tent ON cropping the roadside heritage
than ON going to the fair; but the girl did
not put herself about. Pleasant thoughts
of her sweetheart were passing through
her mind, and she sang gaily to herself
An Irish laborer overlook her, and, as he
passed, he said, my darling you're as
lively this morning as il you had been
newly kissed" The happy girl at once
answered, "If ye think, Pat, that kiss
makes ane lively, wish ye wad kiss my
cuddy, for he's unco stiff this morning !"

Coon ADvIcE.-Fooish spending is the
father of poverty. Do not be ashamed OF
work, nor of hard work. Work for the
wages you can get, but work for halfprice
rather than be idle. Be your master, and
do not let society Or fashion swallow up
your individuality-hat, coat and boots.
Do not eat up and wear out all that you
earn. Compel your selfish body to spare
something for profits saved. Be stingy to
your own appetite, but merciiul to others
necessities. Help Others and ask no help
for yourself. SO that if you are proud, let
your pride be of the right kind. Be too
proud to be lazy; too proud to give up
without conquering every difficulty too
proud to wear coat that you cannot af-
ford to buy; too proud TO be in company
that you cannot keep up with expenses ;
too proud to lie, or steal, or cheat too
proud to be stingy.

then the very universe changes its direc-
ton, and pushes with all its weight against

thousand accidents are in his favor. He
does not know till years atterward with
what concentration he labored in those
days of beginning. He smiles at himself
and tells pleasant stories of his makeshifts

another and younger person starting his

asm, he looks on with the same half SYM

Kindness TO Milk Cows.

One of the greatest errors in overcoming
COWS that arc unquiet while being MIXED,
is to whip, beat, kick and bawl at them.
This is generally done; and the COW be-
comes afraid and angry, and instead of bet
ter grows worse. Milk cows can not be
whipped or terrified into standing quiet,
gently and patiently during milking
They dislike to be MIXED; for they know
that loud words and hard blows always at.
tend the operation. They dread to see
the mixer as the little urchin breads the
birchen road in the hand of an angry peda
gogue, when he expects to have it applied.
A COW kindly and properly treated Is
pleased to see the mixer, gladly awaits
his or her approach and submits with
pleasure to the operation of being MIXED.
Every one having experience with cows
knows this to be true. But the COW is
opposed to change of mixers she soon
becomes attached to one person who per-
forms the operation, and does not willing
ly and freely give down her milk to anoth-
or person therefore have one mixer to
certain cows, and bear in mind, II you
change mixers, it is at the expense of a
loss of milk and of injury to the cow.
All animals appreciate kind treatment,
and resent abuse. Sec that those who
milk them control themselves, govern their
passions, speak low and kindly under al
most any provocation and soon the cows
will learn that they are not going to DO
abused, and will submit to the operation.
Milking should be performed at regular
hours, not varying fifteen minutes one day
from the other. No talking or laughing
should be permitted.

of fine fruit requires the utmost thrift in
the trees Besides ordinary manuring to
commended as giving peculiar excellence
to the fruit. Some experience years ago
from applying the brine. resulting from
making ice cream, led me to approve the
accommodation. Our peaches thus pro-
duced exceeded in size and flavor, any then
reported in the market. We have since
raised fine peaches, but none to equal the
product of those trees thus treated with
brine" ln

THE LANGMAID MURDER.

During the past week considerable
new evidence tending to show that La
Page Is the murderer of Josie Lang
maid has been obtained. Persons who
saw a man in the woods and road
near the scene of the murder, and girls
who have been chased by an unknown
man in that vicinity, have been shown
the prisoners in the jail, and have point
ed out La Page as the man. A farmer
residing near the residence of the father
Of Josie, hired this Frenchman to work
for him one day and the same fellow
made particular enquiries in regard to
a young lady that attended school,
asking which road she went. &c. La
Page is doing his utmost to break Jail,
and since his first attempt, has broken
his iron bedstead. concealed an iron
brace in his clothing and made sharp
blade of piece of strap iron; these
weapons were concealed about him, and
would doubtless have been used to strike
down the prison guard, had an oppor-
tunity presented itself. The Grand ju-
ry met on Thursday and the prisoner
was indicted for murder in the first de-
gree. not one of the twenty jurymen
dissenting. Damaging evidence. not
yet made public is said to have been
found against La Page, both at Penn
broke and at St. Adams.
