sage Maternal counsels.

"Eliza," said fond mother to her
offspring on Saturday, as that off
spring was about going forth in
tow of a young man, who worships
the very side walk she walks upon,
"Eliza,go to the bread box and eat a
good big crust of bread before you
go out" "Why, maw," replied the
blushing girl, 81 don't feel the least
hungry. We've only just had tea." y
Il know Is, but you will be hungry
before you get back, and when
Adolphus takes you into a restaur
ant, you'll eat Ice cream and sponge
cake, and ham, sand wiches and
oysters enough to scare him out of
years growth. You silly girls
don't think of this, but we expert
enced women do. / was once
young and giddy myself, and but
for slXty-five cents worth of macca-
roons-a cake for which l have ever
since entertained the most profound
contempt-your paw would have
been a congressman, with an aqui-
line nose and Hyperian curls. Be
ware how you sit down on the bud
ding flame of Cupid. OF course
Adolphus will spend the money
you save him on billiards and
things, but that makes no difference.
When he asks you to go in and
have some oysters, even if you are
hungy, don't. Say you do not APP
prove of girls wasting the money of
their future husbands on idle trihes,
when it might be applied towards
furnishing a house. Point out that
for the cost of an oyster stew you
might purchase a couple of towels,
now that toweling is so cheap, and
that saddle-rock roast is equiva
lent to a silver fork-plated of
course, but not easily distinguished
from solid silver-or a glass sugar
bowl. This always takes the young
men: it sets them to thinking of
housekeeping and matrimony; it
makes them believe that you are the
incarnation of economy, and would
make an excellent wife; and so they
often say things which give you a
hold over them, and are effective be-

these sagacious counsels of the
authoress of her being, acted upon

feet that when she came home she

The ranger.
Go to the Fairs-why?


Fair" is not Just the word for
our autumn shows-"Exhibition'
would be better-but the word has
come by use to mean exhibition,
when it don't mean a '.horse race
exclusively. We say, go to the
fsirs. just as reading others
thoughts enlarges and stimulates
ones own thinking so contact
with other men, seeing what they
do, what they show, asking how
they produced this or that good
thing, can not fail to afford some
new hints and do one good. A day
ut the fair lifts one out of daily
drudgery; the sight of so many peo
pie engaged N the same calling
helps one out Off that low view
which the great mass of farmers set
upon their own pursuit. However
much farmers may talk of the dig
nifty of their calling, there is in
their hearts too low an estimate of
1t. If son goes into a store or a
daughter marries a merchant, or
professional man, they ill speak of
it as something to be proud of.
This is wrong. Agriculture. from
Adam down, has been and is the
nobIest pursuit. Going to the fair
will help in this ana many other
ways. Go early in the day, and
have quiet look at things, before
the horse-races disturb the general
and good order of the day. Amer

over-Indulgence.

1t is easy to spoil a baby by over
indulgence; as rule, the less it is
potted, the least troublesome it is.
When every want is supplied, the
bed or crib is the best place for an
infant in good health, and if this is
acted upon from the beginning, the
child will look for nothing else; it
should never know that ANYTHING
else can be had for the asking. 1t
will not expect TO be rocked to
sleep; it viii never know that it has
lost anything by sleeping alone.
A large, roomy crib is aIgood thing.
tits not well for young babe to
sleep in the same bed with its pa.
rents. Neither will sleep well; and
"a child will not be so strong or
healthy as. if laid in its own well
aired bed alone. Cribs are an ex-
cellent invention, but cradle with
rockers Is quite the reverse-the
motion of rocking is not good for
the child. Let it stretch and play
on the bed, and later roll about the
floor. 1t viii have stronger muscles
and better figure if left in natural
positions. Ifheld in the arms its
limbs are often cramped, or the

uncomfortable position. Trotting

arm, so that the poor little head

things, but much of the child's at

The Best Cow on Record.

The best butter COW of which we
have reliable account was bought
by farmer out of a drove on its
way from Maine to Brighton, about
The year 1913. The farmers name
was Cakes, aid the cow, when she
became famous, was known "a the
Cakes COW. She was purchased
from Mr.. Cakes by his brother, a
shoemaker, who kept her until she
died. Her butter-making capacity
coming 20 the knowledge of the
Massachusetts Agricultural Society,
one of the trustees visited MIR.
Cakes and engaged him to put her
on trial and report the result. This
trial took place IN 1916, and from
May II to December 20 of that year
the COW made on an average a frac-
ton over sixteen pounds of butter
per week, besides furnishing quart
of milk a day to Mr.. Cakes family.
Her feed consisted of grass and
bushel of meal per week, which was
given her stirred into her own milk
after it was skinned.
This COW was described as being
of very moderate size, with
straight back, fine head and neck,
with broad hips, and milk veins
and udder of the best form and ca
pacity. This COW was bred in the
vicinity of Kennebec, where good
many shorthorns had been import
ed. There was no record to show
how much improved blood entered
into her composition, but it was
said of her that her straight back,
wide hips, and general contour
showed her to be, IN some degree,
of shorthorn origin, though she was
not believed to be even of high
grade. The Cakes COW did not pro-
duce calf in any way equal to her
self in Any regard. Mirror d Farmer

KISSING THROUGH THE BARS

When was but a boy in years,
Near seventy years ago,
met romping, laughing girl
Pure as the driven snow;
From spelling or from singing school,
Beneath the glittering stars.
] saw her home, but at the gate
kissed her through the bars.
And often, then, when going by
Her house at eventide,
I'd whistle that familiar strain
'.Oh. comet My. Bonny Bridel"
When to the road she'd blushing come,
Bright as the evening stars,
Aud clasp my hand so lovingly,
Then kiss me through the bars.
Now old and gray, and bent with years
While in my easy chair,
/ sit and dream of youthful days,
And hopes once bright and fair;
And fancy am young again,
And gazing on the stars
While waiting for my love to come
And kiss me through the bars.
While oy my side sits my old wife,
With burrows on her brow;
But to me there's been no change
From blushing youth till now;
But fairer grown with lapse of years,
Her love like twinkling stars,
Has never changed since first she met
And kissed me at the bars.
God bless this old gray wife of mine
For what she's ever been
Since first we met at spelling school,
And all the years since thea;
And often now in walking out
Beneath the same bright stars,
She shyly asks me how I'd like
To kiss her through the bars.
Tho seventy years have bleached our hail
White as the mountain snow,
But to me she looks as fair
As fifty years ago
When roses bloomed upon her cheeks,
With eyes that sbamed the stars
AS when boy I saw her home,
And kissed her through the bars.

Wastes on the Farm.

The greatest of wastes on the
farm is in the not using of oul
brains; the greatest because at the
bottom of all other wastes. A little
thinking often saves much labor.
After accomplishing any piece OF
work, the most of us can look back
and see how we could have I'M
proved on it. if ace lad bat thought.
As we remember our crops of this
year, we see how they could have
been easily increased, had we only
thought. The ditch we dug through
our meadow was not done il the
most economical way. We dug too
deeply at first, and did not allow
for the settling of the land. Hence
a waste OF labor. We omitted buy
ing an implement that would have
saved nearly its cost in this year $
use, until we have spent as much in
trying to accomplish our work with
out it. Here was another waste.
We carry water pipe too near the
surface, to save the expense of dig
ging a trench of safe depth, and the
winters frost necessitates a replace
ment of the pipe, and an additional
digging. Certainly a waste here
We allowed the weeds to grow on
one piece of lan,i, not thinking to
what proportions they would grow
by the time the crops were too far
advanced to admit the hoe. A
waste here which might have been
obviated. And SO on, wastes little
and big everywhere, all arising from
our not thinking sufiiciently-waste
because not necessary and easily
obviated. We omit the ordinary
wastes from neglect, from laziness.
from want of appreciation of clean
inessa and thoroughness-the wastes
from our stock, from our manure
heap, from our household. Verify,
a little thought viii save to the
farmer much; and through this
means the saving, even on a small
farm, will represent the interest on
a large caDifal The wastes arising
from ignorance can very readily be
diminished, and are in a large part
inexcusable; those arising from
carelessness are not deserving of
sympathy. The farmer, as well as
the business man, must use bust
ness principles to secure the largest
success. and the one should be as
careful of the outgoes as the other.

Woman.

The perception of woman is as
quick as lightning. Her penetra-
ton is intuition; almost instinct.
by a glance she will draw a deep
and just conclusion. Ask her how
she formed it and she cannot an
swer the question. A philosopher
deduces by inference, and his infer
ences shall be right; but he gets to
the head of the staircase, if l may
say so, by slow degrees, mounting
step by step. She arrives at the
head of the staircase as well as he;
but whether she flew there is more
than she knows herself. While she
trdsts her instinct she is seldom de-
ceived, and she is generally lost
when she begins to reason.-Er.

world-Weary.

Society is full of people who know
that their lives are frivolous and
unsatisfying. 1t chafes them tC
feel that they are the victims of the
great world -show, whirled along in
it, whitheisoever it listeth, with nc
opportunity for a deeper culture
no time or vitality left for discipline
of the soul, for coming into fellow
ship with the great minds of the
race, for communing with what is
noblest and best in human thought
no time left for walking with Christ
in the lowly and obscure paths OF
charity, for letting their spirits lie
still, that they may be put in tune,
purified, Gained, and rested in the
arms of God. Persons thus en-
shared by their earthly and selfish
cares may well look back and sigh
for the advantages of other days.
They know that there was much
more of reality and noble truth in
their lives then than now. They
were nearer to Nature, and to all
that gives largeness and strength of
soul. Well may they envy the OBJ
scure Christian, unvexed with tri.
fling cares, whose conversation is in
heaven, who walks daily with God,
and amid those truths and thoughts
which are the glorious essence of
things.
How often, weary and empty of
soul in this world pageant, men and
women would be glad to flee out of
it, as Moses fed from Pharaoh's
court to indian! Better to- keep
the sheep Of Jethro. if he might
thus come unto Horeb the mount
of God, than to bask amid royal
pleasures which are a WEAKNESS and
pain. Better to flee into the wilder
ress and sit there in solitude, fed
by the ravens and drinking of the
brook Cherith, than be oppressed
with gayeties which are but vanity
and vexation of spirit.
1t was not to Pharisees and
Scribes, amid the pompous lives
they so proudly led, but to the
shepherds who watched their focks
by night, that the angel o! the Lord
appeared To them, and 10 wise
men in the East silently commun-
ing with the stars, was it first made
known that a Savior had been born.
Not amid the hurry of Laban's
home, but while he lay alone in his
far desert journey, were Gods eter-
nal counsels revealed to Jacob.
There needs to be more of simplici-
ty in our modern lives, less of earth
ly engrossment, and more of high
spiritual aspiration, if we would
save ourselves from becoming the
automatons of the Sammy
South.

feverish, the nerves unstrung, the
spirit perturbed and in a state of
unrest. The physical condition and

strong tendency to disturb our
