Feeding Apples 10 Stock.

From the opinions of quite number
OF experienced farmers who have been
in the habit of feeding apples to cows
when the fruit was plenty, we gather
that the practice is both safe and bene-
fetal. The effect on the flow of milk
and its quality, as well as that of butter,
is beneficial. The only danger is that
some animals are liable to choke by at
tempting to swallow an apple whole
and for this reason it is advisable to
chop the apples with spade or shovel
in a box or trough. Tho quantity
given to COW per day ought not to be
over one peck at first, then gradually
increased for week or so to peck at
each meal time. Horses may be safely
fed onehalf this quantity, especially
along with hay or other dry feed.
Ripe apples that have begun to get
mellow are more digesitble and nutri-
tious than green or hard nes.-[M. B.

The Pool of Sloan as ii now Ap

On our way to the Pool OF Sloan we
passed the village of Sloan, which is
inhabited by about a thousand Mos.
lems-a nest of stone hutS and caves
clingiDg to the Side-hill; and exactly
the gray color of its stones. The Occu.
patton of the inhabitants appears to be
begging, and hunting for old copper
coins, mites, and other pieces of Jewish
money. These relics they pressed upon
us with the utmoSt urgency. 1t was
easier TO satisfy the b sgars than the
traders, who sailed out upon US like
hungry wolves from their caves. There
is great choice of disagreeable places
in the East, but 1 cannot now think Of
any that should not prefer as resi-.
dence to Sloan.
The Pool of Sloan, magnified in my
infant mind as 'SilOam's shady rill, lis an
nuattractive sink hole OF dirty water
surrounded by modern masonry. The

spot, with patches of stone walls, strug.

Sailing Meats.

When dry salt is rubbed into fresh
meat brine soon forms amounting in
bulk to Onethird the fluid contained in
the raw flesh. Liebig ascertined that
this fluid contained the chief constitu.
ents of concentrated soup or infusion
of meat and that therefore the sailing
process changes the composition of the
meat more than boiling. In boiling,
where the meat is placed in boiling
water, the albumen remains in a coag-
lated state in the mass of the flesh; but
in sailing the albumen is separated as
coagufum. 1t is now easy to under
stand that in sailing meat, where this
is pushed so far as to produce the brine
above mentioned. number of substan-
ces are Withdrawn from the flesh which
are essential 10 its constitution, and
that it therefore loses in nutritive quail
ltles in proportion to this abstraction.
Salted meat has been proven to be
less nutritious than the same meat
fresh, yet neither science nor theory
has furnished any other practicable
method of preserving meat for general
consumption. A better mode will
doubtless be discovered and one which
will preserve the nutritious albunen.
Meat, like fish, may be canned and
preserved, but the process is too trouble
some and expensive, as performed by
present methods.

Feeding Honey Rees.

Feeding bees should never be delay
ed in this latitude later than October.
Some familiesof bees, from causes not
necessary to state here, must be fed, or
they will perish during the winter. 1t
is presumed that my bee-keeping read
ers know how to feed them, the full
details would be too long for an article
on the subject here. If yeu have NOV
able comb hives you can transfer com bs
from fa:nilies that have more honey
they need to those that have enough.
From twenty to twenty-five pounds
should be stored up for winter by every
populous family of bees, to carry them
safely through the winter; and when
they lack this quantity they should be
supplied with the deficiency. Sugar
made into syrup is as good to feed
bees as honey-tour pounds of good
white sugar to quart of water, heated
to the boiling point, and skinned.
Not a day longer should bee-keepers
delay feeding their tees, if necessary,
if the weather be mild.

"Casfing All Your Care Upon
Him."

How much the anXieties of life are
increased by forgetting the little but
comprehensive word 'dlp of the text.
What father might not learn a lesson
from his child, with whom he is start.
ing for journey? His little boy says,
Father, you will have to carry the big
bag, L cannot; and [ will carry the lit.
tie one.' The strong father smiles, and
says, 1 think you had better let me
carry BOTH They start. After few
minutes, the little bay becomes a great
burden, and the child, overheated and
weary, says, Father, you had better
take the little bag too
One of the greatest lessons of life is
for child of God to let his heavenly
Father carry erery burden; to cast all
his care upon him.
Little trials are Christians tempta-
tions. BE careful for nothing; but in
everything, by prayer and supplica-
ton, with thanksgiving, let your re-
quests be made known unto God.
Truly says Archbishop Leighton.
the gOdly are much in the wrong to
themselves bynot mproving this their
sweet privilege. They too often forget
this their sweet way, aud fret them
selves to no purpose; wrestle with their
burthens themselves, and do not en-
tirely and freely roll them ouer on
God" Many man who never doubts
Gods care of the whole Church to the
minutest particular, is tempted to dis
trust Gods interest in the little things
that concern his own daily life. "Do
l confide in Him." says the same wri-
ter, "for the steerage and guidance of
the whole ship, und shall 1 be peevish-
ly doubling and distrusting about my
pack in it?" The same age that inven-
ted the telescope, brought out the mi
croscope. The grace that reveals dis
tant things as near, ought to discern
our least cares as great to fathers
love. "The very hairs of your head are
all numbered. ."-Christian Treasury.

Autumn Days.

A spirit haunts the years last hours
Dwelling amid these yellOwing bowers:
To himself he talks;
For at eventide, listening earnestly,
At his work you may hear him sob and sigh
In the walks;
Earthward he boweth the heavy stalks
Of the moldering flowers
Heavily hangs the broad sunfiOwer
Over its grave in the earth so chilly;
Heavily hangs the hollyhock,
Heavily hangs the tiger-lily.
The air is damp, and hushed, and close,
As sick mans room as he taketh repose
An hour before death;
My very heart faints and my whole soul
grieves
At the moist, rich smell of the rotting leaves,
And the breath
Of the fading edges Of box beneath,
And the years last rose.
Heavily hangs the broad sunfower
Over its grave the earth so chilly;
Heavily hangs the hollyhock,
Heavily hangs the tiger-ily.

Uncompromising Honesty.

The other day man with a gaunt
look halted before an eating stand at
the central market, and after a long
survey of the viands, he said to the
woman:
i am poor man, but I'll be honest
if have to be buried in a Pauper's
field.'
Whats the matter noW?' asked the
woman, regarding him with suspicion
No one saw me pick up a $40 bill
here by this stand early this morning,
but as | said before, I'll be honest
"a $40 bill, pick up! she whispered,
bringing bland smile to her face.
Il SUPPOSE he continued, that some
one passing along here could have
dropped such thing, but it seems
more reasonable to think that the
money was lost by you.'
- Don't talk quite SO loud,' she said,
as she leaned over the stand. DYou are
an honest man, and I'll have your
name put in the papers so that all may
know it. I'm hard-working widow,
and if you hadn't brought hack that
money it would have gore hard with
my poor little children
IF I pick up money by d stand I al
ways give it up he said, as he sat
down on one of the stools.
That's right, that's honest she
whispered. Draw right here and have
some breakfast
He needed no second invitation. The
way he went for cold ham fried sau-
sage, biscuit and coffee was terrific to
the woman.
sYes-I-um-try-to-be-ilonest,' he re-
marked-between bites.
THAT'S right. If found any money
belonging to you I'd give it up, you
bet. Have another cup of coffee?'
-fidoo,' he said, as he
jammed more ham into his mouth.
Even courtships have an ending.
The old chap finally began to breathe
like fOundered horse, and pretty soon
after that he rose from the table.
You are a good man to bring my
lost money back said the woman as
she brushed away the crumbs.
'Oh, Pm honest he replied, when
find lost money always give it up
We'll, I'll take it now, please she
said, as he began 10 button his coat.
Take what?' he asked.
That lost money you found.'
I didn't find any! I'll be honest
with you however, if ever do find
any around herep
You old liar! Didn't you say you
found $40 bill here?'
NO, mann. 1 said no one saw me
pick mp such bill Eere!'
Pay me for them pervishunsv she
PEELED, clutching at histhroat.
Til be honest with you'll have not
cent? he replied, as he held off.
She tried to trip him over into bar
rel of charcoal, but he broke loose, and
before she recovered from her amaze
ment he was block away, and gal.
Looping like stage-horse.

The Touch Of the Unseen,

As feel the flowers the sun in heaven,
But sky and sunlight never see,
So feel thee, o God, my God,
The dateless noontide hid from me.
As touch the buds the blessed rain,
But rain and rainbow never see;
So touch | Good in bliss or pain.
His far, vast rainbow vailed from me.
Orion, moon. and sun, and bow
Amaze sky unseen by me;
Gods wheeling heaven is there know,
Although its arch cannot see.
In low estate, |, as the flower,
Have nerves to feel, not eyes to see;
The subtiest in the conscience is
Thyself and that which toucheth thee.
Forever it may be that l
More yet shall feel, but shall not see;
Above my soul thy wholeness roll,
Not visibly, but tangibly.
But flaming heart to rain and ray
Turn | in meekest loyalty;
| breathe, and move, and live in thee,
And drink the ray l cannot see.

POETRY.
Granny's Story.

Yes, lads, I'm poor Old body;
My wits are not over dear;
| can't remember the day o. the week,
And scarcely the tins o year.
But one thing is down in my mem'ry
So deep il is sure to stay;
1t was long ago, but it all comes back
Asif it had happened to-day.
Here, stand by the window, laddies.
Do you see, away to the right,
A long black line on the water,
Topped with crest of white?
This is the reef Defiance,
Where the good ship Gaspereau
Beat out her life in the breakers,
Just fiftyssix years ago.
mind it was raw Thanksgiving,
The sleet drove sharp as knives,
And most of US here at the harbor
Were sailors sweethearts and wives.
But had my goodman beside me,
And everything tidy and bright,
When, all of sudden, a signal
Shot up through the murky night,
And single gun in the darkness
Doomed over and over again,
As if it bore in its awful tone
The shrieks of women and men.
And down to the rocks we crowded,
Facing the icy rain,
Praying the Lord to be their aid,
Since human help was vain.
Then my goodman stopped and kissed NE
And said, sit is but to die:
Who goes with me to the rescue 2?
And six noble lads cried Il ~
And crouching there in the tempest,
HidinU Olr faces AWAY
We heard them row into the darkness,
And what could we do but pray?
So long, when at last we be heard them
Cheering faint, off the shore,
thought had died and gone to heaven,
And all my trouble was DER.
And the whitehead women and children
Seemed like ghosts in my sight,
As the boats, weighed down to the water,
Came tossing into the light.
Eh, that was a heartsome Thanksgiving, !.
With sobbing and laughter aud prayers;
Our lads with their brown dripping faces,
And not face missing frcm theirs.
For you never can know how much deare
The one you love dearest can be,
Till you've had him come back to You safell
From out of the jaws of the sea.
And little we cared that the breakers
Were tearing the ship in their hold.
There are things, if you weigh them fairly
Will balance mint of gold.
And even the bearded captain
Said, ''Now let the good ship go,
Since never soul that sailed with me
Goes down in the Gaspereau."
