Anti.Early Rising.

Farmers generally do not rise as
early as they did twenty years ago, and
l think they ought not to. Some,
however, retain the old habit, and are
up at three or four clock, have break
fast at lamp-light, and then work COM
mences. Now, | know well enough
that if there are hired men, and if
work pushes, it is necessary to stir
early, but, on the whole, | think what
is known as the habit of early rising is
so much an error as to do more harm
than good. / should say that for an
ordinary household, where nobody but
the family is in the house, breakfast at
eight o'clock is soon enough for winter,
and from six to seven O'Clock for
spring and summer. 1t would be a
good plan though, if there is one in the
house who likes to rise early, to build
the fires that the rooms may be
warmed, though by having good stoves
fires can be kept all night. l object to
breakfast by lamp-light, because the
children are made to get up when they
would be much better off in bed and
asleep. 1t is cruel to tear boys out of
bed in the dark and cold, since they
always go to bed tired, and growing as
they are, they need all the rest and re-
cuperation they can get; and when
they do arise, they ought not to be
hurried out to the barn, probably in
cold, damp boots, to fodder and take
care of stock. 1t is much better for
the man himself to go out and see that
work is properly done, though the boys
might 60 along, if they are warmed,
and help and get fresh air before break
fast.
l doubt whether anything is gained
by feeding cattle before sunrise, and
| am sure milking ought not to be
done until the mornings becomes lit
tie cheerful. The amount of work
which boys can do in cold mornings is
not much, and it will seldom be done
well. They are in hurry to get back
to the fire, and they ought not to be
blamed, but it would be good plan to
have them help about breakfast, if
their help is needed The point | want
to make is, boys are neither tough nor
strong, nor have they got the use of
their muscles so that they can apply
to advantage what strength they do
possess. If school hours press, and
they are to 90, they ought not to have
any time to spare. When night comes
everything should be made comfort
able; have plenty of lamps, and have
plenty of books and papers. An intel
ligent father neglects his duty if he
does not help the teacher, and vast
help can be given by hearing the chill
dren read, and in making them read
correctly, and in considering various

Weeds Will Not Produce Good Butter

WHEN cows are required to eat two,
three or more unwholesome and bitter
weeds to every clover or spear of
grass no reasonable person can expect
to produce butter of a fair quality
from the milk. A large portion of
the inferior butter sold in the market
is chargeable to the condition of the
pastures in which the cows are kept.
When there is strong, bitter taste to
the butter there is pretty strong evil
dence that the cows have been eating
something which they had much bet
ter let alone. We cannot gather
grapes from thistles, neither can we
obtain sweet butter from COW that
is fed on bitter weeds The meal that
comes out of mill is of the same ma
ture as the grain that is put into the
hopper. If corn is ground corn meal
is the result; if rye is put into the
hopper rye meal will be the product of
the grinding. So with COW; the
quality of her productions will be de-
termined in great measure by the
quality of the food which she eats.
1t is true that want of care and
skill in handling may produce poor
grade of butter from milk that was
capable of being made into a first
class article. But as the stream can
never rise above its source, 50 the
quality of dairy product never will
exceed the quality of the material
from which it is made. 1t may fall
below its true level, but will never
rise above it. Very poor butter may
be made from the milk of a cow that
has been fed on the sweetest grass,
but no amount of skill or care can
produce good butter from milk that
is strongly impregnated with bitter
herbs. The milk will inevitably take
its quality from the quality of the
food from which it is made.
This fact shows the importance and
the absolute necessity of improving
our pastures as means of improving
the quality and elevating the standard
of our dairy products. AS long as our
pastures are full of coarse grass and
bitter weeds and herbs, just SO long
will our butter and cheese be poor. II
is of no use to fatter ourselves that
cows will not eat these weeds. If We
let them grow in our pastures the cows
will eat them to a greater or less ex'
tent, even if they have plenty of better
food. Just as long as we let bitter
weeds grow in our pastures we may az
we'll make up our minds to have pool
quality of butter To less degree
the same principle viii apply to coarse
grass. Although not as bad as weeds
/ it is far from being as good as the finel
qualities of pasture grasses. 1t viii
not keep cattle in as good condition
