SUNSET AFTER A SHOWER

SUNSET AFTER A SHOWER.
Over the hill-tops fold upon fold,
Like blood-staned banners within the sky,
Braided with crimson and fringed with gold,
In sea of amber the spent clouds lie
Down in the valley the slumb'rous trees
Droop, heavily jewelled with fallen rain;
And spicy-scented, tremulous breeze
In ripples crosses the bending grain.
The winding river, like silver, CLEANS
Through dreamy vistas that melt and fade,
And the sunlight falling in slanting beams,
Strikes deep In the heart of the forest shade.
On distant upland the lonely pine
ls tangled with purple and bound with fire;
The stones In the churchyard glance and shine,
And the weather vane is gilded wire.
The tapering cedar, like q spear,
- Shoots out OF the cliff, where stands revealed
The rocky ledge; and the herd appear
Like spots of color within the field.
And the braided banners of clouds ore seen
To fercer burn, as with sudden shame;
While the veil below and the hills between
Are drowned in yellow mist of flame.
And q farmers boy, all aglare with light,
Looks over the cliffs where the cedars grow
And shades with his hand his dazzled sight,
And callsto his comrade down below.
Then the braZen woodlands echo and ring
And thee arth and sky seem to shout with him;
A pearly arch in the hawks fleet wing;
Aud the sweltering landscape seems to swim.
On yonder hill side cottage shines
The window westward flashes and CLOVIS;
1t nestles amid its sheltering vines
Ofglistening ivy, like rose.
And there in the porch two lovers WOO
Her slender figure his arms enfold;
While the doves in the dove cote bill and COO,
And rutiie their necks of green and gold.

EXERCISE CoLTs.-To begin with, let it

velopment of their powers by lack of need.

but sharp, quick exercise, in the taking of
which every muscle is brought into play,
every joint tested, and every vein, however
small, swelled taut with rapid blood, as is

and plain, and to follow the promptinps of
nature.-Nurrny's Perfect Horp.

DRESSING BLAK HoGs.-A correspon
dent says: The principal objection to the
Essex and Berkshire breed of hogs I find
to be their color. Now, as Youatt Justly
observes, this is not skin deep. The color.
ing matter will be found to be secreted
between the true skin and the epidermis or
outer skin. If care is taken in scaldinp
black hogs they can be dressed as white as
any white hog. 1t is well-known princi.
pie that all black substances absorb heat
Hence in dressing black hogs the water
should not be so hot as in scalding white
ones. Instead of this color being an oh.
lection, regard it as an advantage, for the
skin of black hog will always be found
to be smooth and glossy, free from cutane.

Feeding in Winter.

The Lice Stock Journal gives the follow.
ing hints on winter feeding of horses:
Glover hay is generally avoided for
horses, as it is apt to be very dusty, and
thus injure the lungs; but, it will be per-
celved that when cooked or cut and mois-
tened the dust becomes harmless. 1t is
very desirable to use clover for work horses,
as 1t contains eighteen per cent. of muscle
forming food, while timothy has but ten
or eleven per cent.
The horse feeder should study variety as
much as possible, not only for economy but
health. All the coarse fodder raised upon
the farm may be used with the best effect
by thus mixing the different qualities and
giving greater variety of food. 1t is true
that city men regard good clean timothy
hay and oats as the best food for O horse.
and this is quite correct when applied TO
any one diet, for timothy hay gives the re-
qulsite bulk and oats the strength of mus
Gle; but this diet would be bettered by
change every few days to clover hay cut
and molstened and mixed with wheat mid.
dllngs and corn meal. The farmer may
keep his team well in winter with moder-
ate work upon six quarts of wheat mid
dlings, two quarts OF corn meal and pint
OF oil meal, mixed with cut straw, as above.
to each horse. This will furnish all the
constituents and sufficient nourishment for
1000 or LOO pound horse, and is the
cheapest ration we can prescribe, costing.
beside the straw, not more than ten to ff.
teen cents per day, according to location.
The corn meal is rich in starch, the mid.
dlings rich in gluten or scle-makinp
food, the oil meal furnishing laxative and
enollient to the stomach, besides being
very nutritious. Oil meal is the best sub.
stitute for grass, except roots, in winter,
but should only be used in small quantity.
Cotton seed is recommended as an excel
lent food for horses. The highly muscle
forming food, which, when decorticated
and ground, is exactly adapted to be fed
with corn fodder, because one possesses
just what the other lacks. The cotton
seed economically fed, would furnish album.
dance of muscle to work every acre oftheir
cotton crop. 1t might be used with hay,
corn fodder, rye, oat, wheat or pea straw.
Ten pounds of well prepared cotton seed
meal, with fifteen pounds of straw or corn
fodder would make an excellent daily ra.
ton for an ordinary horse or mule. This,
however, should be changed continually
Ior other grain. so as to give variety OF
food

The dishrag plant is one of the many
products of the fertile soil of Texas, and is
used by the housewives of that remote re-
gion for domestic purposes. 1t grows to a
considerable size, and its shape is that of
the cucumber. When dry the outside COW
ering is removed, and the heart, which has
certain properties of the sponge, is used as
above mentioned.
