Oats for Hav-


In southern New England, where hay
sells twice as high as in the more north
ern portions, oats, as grain crop, have
become more and more unpopular from
year to year, till at the present time pro-
badly more than half of all that are
sown are intended more for fodder than
for the grain. Some farmers let them
stand till the grain will pay for threshing,
but cut while the straw is yet green.
Others cut when in bloom, and thus get
the hay when it is in its best condition
for feeding. Oats have usually been
grown on old ground where corn or po-
tatoes have been cultivated one or more
seasons. A few farmers manure oats the
same spring they are sown, but usually
this crop is compelled to feed upon
manure already in the soil, such as has
been applied to previous crops and not
wholly consumed. In unfavorable sea-
sons, when the weather is hot and damp,
oats are thought to do best under such
treatment but in season such as the
present they do equally well upon newly
ploughed land, and with a fair dressing
of stable manure.
For the past two years We have made
special efforts toward raising upon the
farm all the fodder to be used by the
stock kept, and in order to do this have
experimental in various ways. Among
other experiments, we have tried grow
ing oats for fodder upon old moving

Increasing the Income.

The Maine Farmer, who does not be-
lieve in keeping cows that do not yield
an income of more than $50 per year
tells how he would increase it to 500
He says: I" In the first place, | would
dispose of all my skim-milk cows Then
| would buy some of the best butter
COWS that | could find i'll the market
If | had but $75, | would rather pay il
all for one good COW than for two poor
ones. Then, after getting my cows, !
would by shingling, battening, or plas-
tering, or some other way, make warm
stable to keep them in during cold
weather, and | would keep them there,
too, except when they were drinking, il
they had to 90 out for that. If for this
they could not express their gratitude
in language, be sure they would do SC
by the additional mess of milk After
this the next thing is to feed them liber-
ally twelve months in the year, and treat
them as kindly as you would your chill
dren, and do not yell and kick them
about because they do not perform just
at the word of command"

Suppurating Corns in Horses.

A corn consists essentially at first of a
bruise, and extravasation of blood from
rupture of the small vessels which insin-
uate themselves into the bony texture
and give it the characteristic red appear
ance. Again, in necrosis, horn tumor, or
in the formation of bony specular treat
ment, you have to really cut the bar
away and open a road to contraction, and
any more pairing would be injurious.
Poultice the feet and clean away any If
ritating matter that may be there, and
wash the diseased parts daily with a So
luton of carbolic acid and soft water
one part of acid to ten of water Allow
the animal to stand on a saw-dust bed
and keep the parts perfectly clean.
When corns are once established a cure
is only palliative, and that paliation must
be brought on by proper shoeing. Ex-
perience and anatomical investigation
point to the conclusion that the sole as
well as the crust is intended to perform
a weight-bearing function; that is, the
sole around the margin of the crust for
the distance of about half an inch in all
parts of the foot, except at the heels, or
that part embraced ia the triangle be-
tween the wall and, in fact, the seat of
the corn. Here the shoe should rest
upon the wall only, being made suf-
iciently narrow at this point. The sur
face of the shoe bearing on the sole
ought to be fiat, while the anterior sur
face of a shoe ought to be concave. In
preparing the foot for shoe, the sole,
frog or bar, must not be touched with a
drawingknife; natural length of the
toe and depth of the wall are to be kept
in their relative positions by the rasp
only. By an application of such meas
ures all parts of a foot calculated to
bear weight are called upon to perform
their natural functions, the various
structures kept in their proper and rela-
tive positions, the frog allowed to come
to the ground to prevent conclusion,
weight of the animal diffused over the
extended surface and not limited to the
wall alone as in the common method of
shoeing with seated shoes. Slipping is
prevented by the rim of the concave and
wedgeshaped foot grasping the ground.
All horses badly shod and brutally treat
ed and burned by acids and hot irons
must have cOrns.

TENDERNESS.

Not unto every heart is Gods good gift
OF simple tenderness allowed we meet
With love in many fashions when we lift
First to eur lips life's waters bitter-sweet
Love comes upon us with resistless power
OF curbless passion, and with heatistrong win.
1t plays around like ApriIs breeze and shower
Or calmly flows, rapid stream, and still
1t comes with blessedness unto the heart
That welcomes it Alright or-bitter fate,-
1t wrings the bosom with SO fierce smart
That love, we cry, is crueler than hate
And then alb me- whcn love has ceased In bless
Our broken hearts cry out for tenderness,
W. long for tenderness like that which hung
About us lying on our mothers breast:
selfiess feeling, that no pen nor tongue
Can praise Alright, since silence sings il best
A love, as far removed from passions heat
As from the ehiIlness OF its dying fire:
love to lean on when the failing feet
Begin TO totter and the eyes to tire.
Ia youths brief heyday hottest love we seak
The reddest rose we grasp-but when if dies
God grant that later blossoms, violets meek
May spring for us beneath life's Autumn spias,
God grant some loving one be near to bless
Our weary way with simple tenderness,

FARM AND HOME.
Diarrh9a in Pigs.

The most common complaints of little
pigs are diarrhea and colds The former
is caused by giving the sow improper
food, or too sudden change of diet, or
by irregular feeding, or want of pure
water and fresh air. To cure this, as a
general rule, no medicine will be reouir-
ed. Change the food of the mother, and
let her go out in the air, but let the little
pigs remain quiet in the pen, and see
that they are warm and comfortable.
1t is also important that the pen is kept
clean and well ventilated. Scatter some
dry earth about the pen to absorb the
offensive gases. Scald the pig troughs
with boiling water, and make them
sweet and clean. Let this be done every
day.

To KEEP MILK SwEET-A spoonful
OF horseradish in pan of milk will keep
1t sweet for several days, either in the
open air or in a cellar.
FRIED SWEETBREADs.-Was very
carefully and dry we'll; cut in slices,
and fry in plenty of butter and lard
mixed; turn them frequently until they
are fine brown; use no bread or crack
er crumbs, as that absorbs too much
grease.
GRAPE VINEGAR.-Take wild grapes,
press out the juice, boil it till reduced
one-half, then to every five gallons add
one quart of molasses. Keep in a warm
place; allow to ferment. When done
kissing put in the stopper. 1t is a
richly -favored, fine colored vinegar for
the table.
HUCKLEBERRY CAKE.-One cupful
butter, one cupful sweet milk, two cup
fuls sugar, one teaspoonful soda, three
cupfuls flour, one teaspoonful nutmeg,
five eggs, one quart ripe huckleberries
thickly dredged with flour, and added
after all the other ingredients are mixed.
GINGER BEER.-One bottle of Jamaica
ginger extract, on pound of sugar, SIX
quarts of water, one ounce of cream
tartar. Stir well together until the sugar
melts, and heat until warm, but not hot.
Then add one teaspoonful of brewers
yeast. Bottle at once and wire the corks.
1t will be fit for use in two or three DAYS.
GRAPEJELLY.-Use cultivated grapes,
not too ripe. If a light colored jelly is
desired, take them quite green. Boil
gently, till the juice is flowing, and the
pulp half dissolved. Cool them, and
press through a thin, strong jelly bag,
which will allow most of the pulp to pass
through. Weigh this and allow one
pound and two ounces of sugar to each
pound of fruit Boil the juice till CON
siderably reduced, then add the sugar
cheated in the oven) and boil fifteen
minutes, when it is ready to pour into
glasses.
CUCUMBER CATsUP.-Grate large GU
cumbers before they begin to turn vel
low; drain out the juice ami put the pulp
| through sieve to remove the large seeds;
fill bottle half full of the pulp, dis
carding the juice, and add the same
quantity of good vinegar; cork tightly
when used add salt and pepper; salt kills
the vinegar if put in when made. This
is almost like fresh sliced cucumber when
opened for use.

Stable Floors

For common use, says the Country GEN
t1eman, good plank COW stable floor with
manure gutter, and a slight descent
towards the gutter, seems to answer the
best. We have found that planks for
such floors lasts much longer, and the
floors are more easily kept clean, if
thoroughly soaked with crude petroleum,
and they would probably be still more
durable if first soaked in this way and
afterwards coated with gas tar. The
same treatment given to the sleepers,
would render them durable. If coal tar
contains much water, the cement formed
from it would not harden well, and it is
also important to have good sand or
gravei-if it contains much clay and re-
fuse matter, it would be defective.

THE PASTORS REVERE.
BY REV. WASHINGTON GLuDDEN.

The pastor sits in his easy-chair,
With the Bible upon his knee.
From gold to purple the clouds in the west
Are changing monlently;
The shadows lie in the valleys below
And hide in the curtains fold:
And the page grows dim whereon he reads
- | remember the days old.n
The pastor 5 memories are;
No day that is gone was shadowless
No night was without its star:
But mingled bitter and sweet hath bean
The portion Of his cup:
= The hand that in love hath sinitten - bo soitb

VI stubbe and snow and bloom.
And now it trips through a festival
Ana now it halts at tomb:
Dung faces smile in his reverie

lie thinks OF the day when first, with fear
AND faltering lips, he stood

lie walks again TO the house OF God,
with the voice of joy and praise,
W Ith many whose feet long time have pressed
Heavens safe and blessed ways.
tie enters again the homes of TOLL
And joins in the homey chat;
He stands in the shop OF the artisan
lie sits where the Master sat,
At the poor mans fire and the rich mans feast
But who to-day the poor,
A nd who are the rich? Ask Him who keeps
The treasures that ever endure.
Once more the green and the grove resound
With the merry children's DIM
He hears their shout at the Christmas tide,
When Santa Claus stalks in.
Once more he lists while the camp fire roars
On the distant mountain side,
Or proving apostleship, plies the brook
Where the fierce young troutlings hide.
AMI now we behold the wedding train
To the altar slowly move,
And the solemn words are said that seal
Inc sacrament of love.
Anon at the font he meets once more
The tremulous youthful pair
with white-r0bed cherub Growing response

BY the couch of pain he kneels, again;
Again the thin hand lies
Gold IN his palm, while the last far look
Steals into the steadfast ewes:
And now the burden Of hearts that break
Lies heavy upon his own
mat widows woe and the orphans cry
And tho desolate mothers moan.

Are the days that are no more
60 mournfully sweet are the sounds that float
With the winds from a far-oif shore

:" Rejoice with them that do rejoice,
And weep with them that weep"
1t is not in vain that he has trod
This lonely and tolsome way
1t Is not in vain that he has wrought

On Tuesday afternoon, Henry Craw-
ford, youth twenty years of age, of
Racine, and Miss Minnie Jilsun, one of
Racine's prettiest girls, who is about
seventeen years old, rode out of town in
a buggy; and, as they have not returned,
it is believed they drove to Kenosha,
where they were married, and then left
by train for points south. The affair is
creating quite a sensation.

Beaumont, with little Lady Mary, as
one OF the earPs own family. In the
fullness of time he was sent to college
and thence to Oxford, where he won
high honors by his ability and his learn

At Il Reggy was decidedly the hand
soonest young man in the neighborhood
OF Beaumont Castle. 1t was in the vaca-
tion time that he and little Lady Mary
she was still little enough, although
she was young woman nowhere
walking by the river side where the first
met.
Mary" said he, " the time is come
now when may ask you, not to change
your name, dearest, but to be my wife,
indeed"
Lady Mary blushed, and laid her
dainty little head on his shoulder. as.
looking up lovingly into his handsome
face, she openly answered, Your will is
mine, Reggy, now and for ever"
And as they wandered up and down
the riverside, the earl came towards
them. He knew what had happened.
but he would not disturb their ioy vet
awhile. At last he came to them, and
cried:
Children, we must go to London to-
night, for Reginald, my lost brother, is
found at last"

| 1t was dingy room in the large and
seldom-used town-house of the Earl of
Beaumont. In a heavily-damasked bed
lay man, dying, round him the earl,
the countess, the doctor, the clergyman,
the Lady Mary, and her betrothed hus.,
band, Reginald. They were kneeling in
prayer.
The dying man opened his eyes, and in
a voice as if from the grave asked, adj
dressing the clergyman:
Have they come-my brother and my
son?'
Lord Beaumont and Reginald APP
preached, and placed their hands in his.
Boy" continued he, "forgive me the
wrong you have borne. Brother, you
will make restitution for me. Where is
she?'
Reginald brought little Lady Mary to
the bedside. The dying may placed
their hands in one another's, muttered a
few words of prayer, and slept forever.
1t was only after the funeral that Reg
inald knew fully the story of his fathers
life. He was Lord Beaumont's Younger
brother, who, having run away from
home, married a young milliner, was dis
inherited by his father, and went to seek
his fortune in Australia. 1t was there
that Reginald's mother died. Coming
back to England, the father took to evil
ways, committed forgery, and was ar
rested. 1t was when he came back from
punishment, i'll, almost dying, that he
found a home in his brothers house.
A year afterwards there was a bridal
party at the castle. Lady Mary was be-
ing wed to Reginald, heir to the earldom
and lands of Beaumont
/" You know, father, dear, I always
said | would find by the river the fairy
talisman to drive your sadness away"
she said, after the ceremony.
"And what did you find, lover"
Why, / found an heir to the Beau
mont name, and handsomehusband for

"Makinp Old Bones. /"

People who neglect their minor ailments
rarely live to make old bones. The secret
of hale and vigorous old age lies not only in
taking care of ones health in early life, by
the observance Of sanitary rules, but also by
judicious medication when the premonitOry
symptoms of bodily disorder manifest them
selves. Indigestion, bowel and liver COM
plants, are fruitful causes Of injury to the
constitution. These diseases should be,
therefore, checked without delay. The best
medicine for the purpose is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. This standard preparation
disciplines the digestive organs, gives re-
newed impetus to the bilious secretive fune-
ton, and exerts a beneficial influence upon
the organs Of urination. 1t has no rival as a
remedy for and preventive of chills and
fever and bilious remittents, infuses vigor
into the debilitated frame, and is an excel
lent appetizer and nervine.

was told he could. So he went up to a
store and inquired if they had any cider
to "sell by the gallon" He was told
they had. He wanted to try it, and drew

he Thought it was too hard for miuce
