THE STOCKING BASKET.


Cosby thron'tl in her euslion'd chair,
A mother reelined from toll and care,
Except the darning of a stocking,
And her chairs perpetual ocking. "
l thought had somewhere seen II styled s
The plagueof life such abasket piled
With tiresome, everlasting stitching, 8f
With work so very unbewitching,
And as she broke the thread asunder,
Weaving in and out, over and under,
| wished the rents in human life,
Could be mended With as little strife. 8
She took in her hand atiny thing, 4Ht 9l ?
All striped with q white and scarlet ring, m 4
And smiled as she thoughtof The silken hair
And laughing eyes of5her darling fair ;D9Nse
OF the rosy lips and dainty hands, ) s
The pleading cries and the loud demands.
She sighed as she thought of the world untried
And up and down her needle piled.
She knew it said, oh! blessed are suchl
And ,strok' d her work with tender touch,
Softly folded and laid it away,
As the little feet in slumber lay.
But on the next a tear-drop fingers;
The mother wrought with trembling fingers,
And sadly bowed with an anxious face,
Appealingo on High for strength and grace
To guide the steps of her hayward son,
To bless and protect her erring one, 5
Nor suffer the wandering feet to roam ST elit|
Forth from the love of his early home
TO shield him from the glittering net aatt
The tempter with costly jewels had set; (s
To save him from the sparkling bowl, -
And all the dangers that scar the soul.
As en- the third her looks were bent, .
The face wore smile of sweet content,
For the fair-haired girl whose gentle ways
Were extolled by all with voice of praise:
For her the sunshine ever glowed,
And from her lips rare music flowed;
With graceful carriage and modest mien,
She moved through life like fair young queen
The mother said, with fervent prayer,
May Heaven shield her from harm and care,
From cruel want, and the stings that smart,
From the bruises Of a blighted heart.
The next were for those whose feet had trod
For many summers the earth's green sod;
And the storms of many winters felt,
In joys had smiled, and in sorrows knelt.
No cloud so dark, but the glimmering hue
OF the sunrise ever struggled through;
No gloom so Deep faith could not brighten;
No toll so hard, love could not tighten.
The last for one who was passing down
To her narrow home with silver crown
OF wondrous luster. that seemed to shed
light of glory round her head.
Peacefully sinking to the quiet rest
Awaiting those of the truly best;
For her she plead the right to share
All tender aid and watchtnl care.
And thus the stockings all were mended;
With each stitch thought was blended;
With ev'ry thread for future wear,
The weavingin of a silent prayer. F.

STOCK RAISIN G.
CARE OF STOCK RAMS.


Careful as YOU may have been to keep up
the condition and vitality OF your STOCK
rams, they have lost flesh and vigor more or
less, and now that they are taken from the
flock, they should be well cared Tor. MOI
only should proper food be allowed, pu1
quiet, roomy, well ventilated quarters, well
secured. where they may be confined during
storms of rain and snow, or chilling weak
ening winds. Their reduced systems poor
ly withstand the severe changes of weather.
Many a fine ram, after the skipping season,
has been put into a back lot, on short allow
ance, without shelter, and been allowed to
run down and die unnecessarily. The rams
have lone you good service-paid for them
selves in their get-and will do so again, ii
given a chance.
Few men use a ram they are ashamed to
show to their friends. A well kept ram, OF
good breeding, is a nice animal to show 10
your friends, and will always interest even a
novice in sheep knowledge. In Northern
Illinois, a month ago, we were shown a
bunch of stock rams in thin flesh. that were
well fed, but badly overworked. The owner
was ashamed Of them as SO he might be {;
or, more properly, ashamed of himself.
They were splendidly bred rams, but lacked
condition and force for the work required of
them. OF the number, perhaps one-half
will die before spring. Certain it is the
owner will not show these rams to anybody
if he can avoid it.
BE proud of your rams. Have them good
enough to exhibit any how, and in such
physical fix and force as to represent your
flock ali the time. The stock ram at the
head of your flock is as worthy an animal as
a proud, intelligent and enterprising man
could wish for.-Co7respondent IN Cotnaam'&

Do you cleanse the udders of COWS before
milking by washing their teats with their
" milk, and practice further economy by
allowing the droppings to go into the milk
pail?
Do you enjoin upon your mixers to wash
their hands thoroughly before sitting down
to mill. or do you think that uncleanliness
in this respect is not important for milk
hat is to be treatedfor butter making?
When a COW makes a misstep while being

enty-five tons more. The cattle are kept in

him. Thousands of bulls of improved blood
have been taken not only into Texas. but
into Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Dakota,
and other places where the Texan cow was
the only available stock with which to start
an improved herd.
After the young stock become old enough
to breed, the Texas cattle are marketed. and
we are now " running the emptyings,o so to
speak, of the Texans. Even the Indians
are improving their Cherokee stock in the
same manner. In two or three years more
the maid bulk of the cattle will be short
horn grades, and a great and steady demand
will be made upon Eastern herds for bulls
for breeding. Not for fancy stock, but for
equally good, but less fashionable, pure

profitable branch of farming, both in the

OLD JOHN LAWRENCE.

One of the earliest, if not the first, books
written on the trotting-horse, was by John
Lawrence, of England, in 1902. 1t is inter-
esting to note how accurate his observations
were:
If a young trotter be obtained, it will be
perceived in an instant whether he has a
natural great bent Of speed. But If not,
granting he be thorough shaped, and can
trot u mile in four minutes handsomely, he
may improve and become capital for a long
distance. In training a young %trotter, a k
a long time; keep him always within him
self; never trot him with q slack rein, nor
suffer him to hitch, lead with one foot, or
get into d confused run between a trot and a
gallop, but accustom him to pull we'll and
steadily at you. Always oblige him to fin
ish his trot in a walk, never in either canter
or gallop; in which latter case cause him to
turn round as is the custom in trotting race.
No hack is fit to trot any considerable dis
lance until rising six years old but it is re-
markable that trotters, unlike gallopers, do
not loose their speed from old age, many Of
them having been known to trot us fast at
twenty and even near thirty years of age, as
they did in their prime, a solid recompense
surely, for the extraordinary care which
these horses demand. AS it is obvious that
the damage which trotters receive in their
feet. joints and sinews, arises from their vio-
lent and incessant humping the hard road,
common sense will naturally prescribe mod
crate and sparing exercise and soft WAYS.
and whenever you see a fellow wantonly
rattling a horse over q pavement, you may
fairly presume a natural affinity between the
Jockey, and the materials with which his
course is strewed and, even If you go so
far as to wish a happy contact between
them, humanity herself will forgive YOU
