Cont Breed from Pigs that are I'm
thrifty.

Our readers know how constantly we
have insisted upon the importance of
good growing and feeding qualities in
cattle not only in the race but in the
individual. But in no variety of ami
mails is this so obviously essential as in
swine, where, without these qualities,
they are absolutely worthless. Breed
ers, therefore, who send out "runted "
pigs, not only wrong their customers,
however superior the blood, but do
themselves a great injustice.
Every breeder has observed the great
difference there is in individuals, not
only of the same blood, but of the same
litter, some fair, while one or two may
be found decidedly Objectionable. Now
pigs of the latter description should
never be served as breeders. AS we
have said elsewhere, the excellence of
our various breeds was originally estab.
lished by a long course of careful
breeding. where only the best specimens
were reserved; and we cannot hope to
maintain this excellence without re.
jecting all individuals of Objectionable
forms and qualities-we mean objection
able as affecting the useful qualities of
the animal.
1hese CONSIDERATIONS we especially
urge upon the attention of breeders of
Berkshire swine. as, that breed being
now in great demand, the temptation is
great to reserve all individuals of the
pure blood for breeders, whether they
be good or bad specimens, so as they
have the fashionable color and marking,
comparatively unimportant as these
latter particulars are. In some sections
this evil has greatly injured the reputa
ton of this most excellent breed, and all
breeders should set their faces against
the practice, as being neither jUdicious
nor, in the long run, profitable. Nd

PADD1BD HER Own BoAr.-The
train was approaching Atlanta, and the
obliging conductor went up to the
homely old lady who was evidently
travelling alone, and said:
Madam, have you companion ?"
"Oh, yes, sir Martha Ann made me
fetch along her little black ridikule that
she calls kumpanyun y
No no I mean an escort !"
GA what, sir ?" and she looked at him
hard enough to break her spectacles.

Herrick's Poetry of Country Life.

A writer in the Cornhill Magazine
says: Herrick was the earliest English
poet to see the picturesque of homeIy
country life, and all his little landscapes
are exquisitely precious. No one has
ever known better than Herrick how to
seize, without effort and yet to absolute
perfection, the pretty points of modern
PASTORAL life. OF all these poems of
bis none surpasses "CoriDna's Going
a-Maying," which has sc me hing of
WOrdsworth's faultless instinct and
delicate perception. The picture given
here of the slim boys and the girls in
green gowns going out singing into
the corridors of blossoming whitethorn,
when the morning sky is radiant in all
its "fresh- vuilted colors," ia ravishing,
and can only be compared for its pecu-
liar charm with that other where the
maidens are seen at sun set. with silvery
naked feet and dishevelled hair crowned
with honeysuckle, bearing cowslips
home in wicker baskets. Whoever will
cast his eye over the pages of the
Heeperi6es" will meet with mrriads
of original and charming passages OF
kind
" Like to a solemn. sober stream
Banks all with lilies and the cream
OF sweetest cowslips filling thGm,"
and "cream of cowslips" being the
rich yellow anthers of the water lilies.
Or this, comparing a brides breath to
the faint, sweet odor of the earth
"a SAVIOR like unto blessed field,
When the bedabbled morn
Washes the golden ears of corn"
Or this. a sketched interior
''Yet can thy humble roof maintain a choir
OF singing cricEets bv the fire.

THE MILK CURE.-Cons derable
has been said in medical journals
concerning the value of milk as a
remedial agent in certain diseases.
An interesting article upon this sub
ject lately appeared in the London
Milk Journal, in which it is stated
on authority Of DR.. Benjamin Clark,
that in the East Indies warm milk is
used to a great extent as a specific
for diarrhea. A pint, every four
hours, will check the most violent
diarrhea, stomachache, incipient
cholera and dysentery. The milk
should never be boiled, but only
heated sufficiently to be agreeably
warm-not TOO hot to drink. Milk
which has been boiled is not fit for
use The writer gives several In
stances to show the value of this
simple substance in arresting this
disease. Another writer in the same
journal says: "We have also lately
tested the value of milk in scarlet
fever, and learn that it is now re-
commended by the medical faculty
in all cases Of this often very dis.
tressing children's disease, Give
all the milk the patient will take,
even during the period Of the greatest
fever. 1t keeps up the strength of
the patient, acts well upon the stom-
ach, and is in every way blessed
thing IN this sickness. Remember
it,parents.and do not fear to give it if
your dear ones are afflicted with the
disease"

Duty

Duty.
By MRS. r. W. BUELL..
Do your duty; do not falter,
God is with The strong of heart;
Bow not low to Mammon's altar.
Even riches will depart
Make The most of what is given,
None may choose his place i'll life;
But with talents five" or seven,
Take your place and join the strife.
Go not through This great life whaing,
Ger the things which "night have BEEN"
If your SOULS not bright and shining,
Do not end Its course with sin.
Life is iull of grand achievements,
Waiting for the souls who dare,
Those O'ercome by sad nereavements.
Need not yield to black despair.
Some are born to wealth and station,
Some are born to signs and teags,
But throughout our glorious nation,
None is born too low for cheers.
Crowds stand ready to applaud him
Who is doing all he can,
And there's none so poor or fallen
But has power to be man.
Be a man in Goods own image
Stunning not your Makers form,
Knowing tais: o'erweaith Of plnmage
Only keeps the body warm.
Choose you then some great good purpose,
Which ennobles all you do,
4 nd with prayer, faith, and patience,
Labor on TIL life is through.
Make your motto: Onward Starward
e rmble not DER things TINT be.
Le5 your future acts be worthward,
Fit FOR all eternity.
