All, Little Maiden.
Ali, little maiden, frank and fair,

Ali, little maiden, frank and fair,
With rosy lips apart,
With sunbeams Glinting in your hair.
And sunbeams at your heart
Glad sounds about your senses rise,
That have no voice for me;
Blithe visions dance before your eyes.
That mine may never see.
And are the flowers SO rare, love !?
And is Che day SO bright ?
For me the boughs are bare, love.
And chill descends the night.
Ah, me / mind me of time,
Deep in the hurried past,
When |, too, dwelt IN the sweet cline
Wherein your lot Is cast;
When fragrance foated on the breeze,
When heaven bent blue above.
And every wild bird in the trees
Sang still Of hope and love.
Dead are those flowers so rare love
And dinmed that day SO bright.
For me the boughs are bare, love,
And chill descends the night
Grim clouds came mp, and oyerspread
The heavens with sulien gray:
The roses dropped, the fragrance fed,
The breezes died away.
And now, of all the happy throng,
One bird is left alone,
TO sing broken-hearted song
OF joys forever flown.
Dead are those flowers so rare, love
And dimmed that day so bright,
For me the boughs are bare, love,
And chill descends the night.

COWS, at the Ohio state fairs each year
since 1862 excepting in 1866, 1867, and
1871. The cows were nearly all full
blood short-horns. The yields of butter
in ten days tests were from seventeen
to nearly twenty-one and three-fourths
pounds. The yields of butter for a
year were, emitting fractions, 445, 405,
Al, 434, SOB, 497 pounds. These are
remarkably large yields, SO large that
were they not apparently well anthem
ticated, the statements would hardly be
credited.

Good EuriY Ininhs.

Those who, living within reasonable
distance of good markets for young
lambs, and who have taken the good ad
vice relating to having them come late
III January, and in February, and who
of course have provided quarters SO
warm that the sheep and lambs will not
suffer at weaving time, should keep
close watch that no accident happen to
either dam or young at this critical
period.
If the ewes have been kept in uniform
good condition, but little difficulty will
be experienced, and the lambs will
thrive right along and fatten far more
kindly than if the ewes had been only
inditferently well cared for. To make
fat lambs, calves, pigs, or other animals
from poor dams, can only be accom-
plished by giving the dam very extra
keep, and even then not so well as if
she had been in good condition at the
time of dropping her young.
Ii the lambs once suck and stand up,
there will be but little further difficulty
with them. They will, if kept warm
grow and thrive amazingly, and soon
learn to eat with the eve.
In no case should the eve be allowed
to fall away, to any considerable extent.
while sucking the lamb; for if so, it
will be at the expense of the fleece, and
this is one of the principal sources Of
profit i'll the keeping OF sheep.
No shepherd ever made money who
allowed his sheep to come through the
winter skin poor, and SO none need ex-
pect to make money from early lambs,
unless both ewes and lambs have extra
care and feed. This done there are but
few branches of stock raising that pay
better than lambs ready for the butcher
i'll March, April and May.
