The First Saw Fall.

the First Say Fall.
The snow ha,! hrgun in the cleaning,
And busily all he uight
Had been hraping field and highway
With silence deep and white.
Every pine, and fir and hcnlock,
Wore crmine too dear for an earl,
And the poorest lwig on the elm tree
Was Iringed inch deep with pearl
From sheds, new rooted with Carraru,
Came Chanticleer's mufllcd crow,
The stiff rails were ftcned to swans down
And iluttcrcd down the snow.
stood and watched by the window
The noisclrss work of the sky,
And the sudden nurrics of snow birds,
Like brown leaves whirling by.
l thought of mound in sweet Auburn,
Where little head stone stood,
How the flakes were folding ii gently,
AS did robins the babes in the wood.
Up spoke our own little Mabel,
Saying, "Father who makes it snow ?''
And told her of the good All Father
Who cares for us all below.
Again looked at the snow fall,
And thought of the leaden sky
That arched DER our first great sorrow
When the mound was heaped so high.
l remembered the gradual patience
That fell from that cloud like snow,
Flake by flake, healing and hiding
The scar of that deep stabbed woe.
And again to the child whispered,
The snow that husheth all,
Darling, the Merciful Father
Alone can make it fall.
Then, with eyes that saw not, kissed her,
And she, kissing back, could not know
That my kiss was given to her sister
Folded close under deepening snow

SHELTERING CATTLE.-Farmers who
look after the comfort of their cattle, but
rarely suffer pecuniary loss by disease or
death. In the stable cleanliness and ven-
tiation are, with an occasional currying,
the important requirements that promote
health. Experiments have proven that
COWS in milk and old oxen retain their
condition in confined and warm quarters
during winter, while animals under three
years thrive better in well sheltered yard,
with shed attached, the floor of which
should be covered with dried leaves or re-
fuse straw, which would afford them rest
ing place during the nights. Leaves make
an excellent winter-bedding and every far
mer should have a supply on hand to re-
new the beds from time to time. A shelf
er from the rain and snow and northeasterly
winds is the only protection the younger
animals require during the Indictment sea-
son, as their blood circuates more freely
/ than that of the older cattle and they pos
sess greater powers of endurance.

Feeding Large OF Small Animals,

Abundant experience, if such proof were
| necessary, shows that there is more profit
In feedlng the larger breeds than there is
with the smaller breeds of animals, whetL.
er for meat or milk. Of course, there are
exceptions in this, as in all general rules
the small Jersey cow, for example, which
Is expected to produce an exceptional pro-
duct OF highly colored and finely Favored
butter; but this does not affect the rule
above stated 1t is only necessary to con-
slder that, when we feed two animals of
10O lbs each, we have to supply the de-
mands OF two sets of breathing, circulating
and muscular apparatus, which are consid,
erably more extensive and expensive than
those OF one animal of 1,40O lbs. This il
true to every animal that we feed, from the
fowl and pig, up to the COW and fatted
steer. Ten small Merino sheep. weighing
W pounds each, will cost much more to
feed than four Cotswolds of 200 lbs. each.
Besides the gain in feed, we have also a
large advantage in the less proportionate
amount in the offal in the fewer large ami
mails than in the larger number of small
ones. Where flesh and milk are the objects
in view, this consideration ought to have
great weight in the selection of stock to he

the stock, for it will not pay to keep
shorthorn COWS upon pasture where only
small active cattle can pick up living;
but, where other things are equal, this
consideration should be we'll weighed.
Just now there is opening up a large op
portunity for feeding stock for beef which
many farmers will very soon find a consid-
cradle one to seize upon. In choosing
animals for feeding, then, they will find it
to their profit to select such large breeds
as the Shorthorn, or Hereford, where their
locality admits of it; and where it does
not, they will certainly labor under the dis
advantage of preparing for market an arti
Gle which can neither sell for the highest
price, nor can be produced at the lowest
amount ofproduct in one package, so to
speak, for animals of 1900 to 1000 lbs.

cost than the same weight in the form of
animals that are one-half or one.third

AN EXCITED WARRIOR.
from Detroit Free press.l


Taking five newspaper war-maps
under IN arm and a copy of the
London Times under the other. Mr..
White left the office and proceeded
directly homeward, feeling more pa
triotic every moment.
ooh! we're going to lay 'em right
out, Nancy" he said, as he dropped
his hat in the hall.
"Did you order the four" she
asked in a careless tone.
"Flour? What do / care about
-four? The Russians have got Kars
and half of the Turkish army!'
"Have, Ell? Well, 1 hope that
paper hanger will be here in the
morning. You didn't think to see
Right here is kars, and right here
is where the Turks got mauled!" he
exclaimed, as he knelt on the floor
and traced one of the maps.
ibid, eh? Say Bob, can't you
rake off the lawn this morning, and
did you see about the whitewashipg:'
''Will you talk about whitewash-
ing when all Europe is convulsed with
war;" he fiercely demanded as he
shoots the other four maps at her.
"I'd like those onion beds marked
out to-day she replied.
"Onion beds marked out, when this
very copy of the London Times edi-
torially predicts that a million armed
men will be rushing at each others
threats in less than thirty days"
There was q dead silence until his
finger rested on the city of Erzeroum,
when he shouted:
''IIere she is! Right around here
is where they are making the Turks
howl for sugar"
''By the way, Bob" she softly re-
marked, as she looked up, ''don't you
think that summer kitchen will have
to be reshingled this spring."
The girl that does general house
work says he tore the war maps into
five hundred pieces, and he banged
the London Times against the wall
with an awful thump as he jumped
out doors but girls are sometimes
prejudiced. Mr.. White was in the
corner grocery at half-past eleven,
saying to the proprietor:
"Don't it make your blood jump
as you read of the European situa-
tom"
And the proprietor raked the cheese
knife on the edge of the counter to
clean it, and replied:
''Seems like / shall hat to kill dose
