l do not want to talk very loudly about
the faults of children. DO you suppose
there are any children who would only
wash once or twice a week if their par
ents did not remind them of it? But,
really, / was glad of one thing; and that
was, that Miss Thrush did not play or
loiter around all the week. and then do
the neglected work on Sunday. I have
seen people do almost nothing all the
week; and on Sunday morning they had
so much to do, and so many things were
pressing upon them, that they would
desecrate the holy Sabbath day to get
them done.
God has made us for good and glo-
rious purpose. We are great deal
better and of more Importance than birds
with their kite-like wings, or parrots
that can talk, or canaries that can sing
so very sweetly. Will you not remem-
Der that we must give an account for all
we say or do !? that, when Jesus calls for
us, we will have to tell him all about our
actions here, whether they be good or
bad p hsldYen's Friend.

Wind says an old horseman, sis
the grand secret of a fast horse. Good
lungs will cover multitude of fault a
while, on the other hand, perfection of
shape and form are useless when the
wind is out. The chest, therefore, in
all cases, should be large and capacious.
In shape it may vary somewhat, accord
ing to the service to which the horse is
to be put. If he is apt to be kept for
slow work and heavy drawing, the chest
may be circular in form, because this
shape is one of strength and bulk, to re-
ceive and bear up against the pressure of
the collar. while. at the same time, sufi-
cient room is secured for that expansion
of the lungs caused by slow, regular
work. But if the chest is circular, let it
be at the same time deep, or else the
lungs may be cramped. A horse with a
shallow chest is worthless for any pur-
pose. The rule then is this: For a
draught horse, circular but deep chest
but, as you pass through the different
degrees of speed up to the racer and trot-
ter. the chest will increase in depth,
compared to its roundness, until, for the
highest rate of speed, you must take q
chest as deep as a greyhound. and at the
same time not lacking in strength.

THE THREE PETS.

AS I was travelling on the prairie 1
stopped at house where they had
number of pets. One was robin, an
other was brown thrush, and the third
was young wolf about two-thirds grown,
or about as large as common-sized dog.
Robin Redbreast was quite sociable
chap in his way, and Brown Thrush was
quite busy in some matters pertaining to
her household affairs; but Mr.. Wolf,
the good-for-nothing fellow that he is,
spends good share of his time lying on
top of a box summing himself. as I have
seen many people do; the only difference
being that Mr.. Wolf was chained there,
and the people were not.
The owner of the birds told me that
Sir Robin washed himself regularly every
day; but that Miss Thrush only washed
once week, and that was invariably
done on Saturday. was led to admire
Robin for his cleanliness,-that he was
like some good children. up in the morn
ing clean and bright as new silver
dollar, ready for their studies. or any.
thing else that comes in their way.
But then, thinking of Miss Thrush,
Imust say l hardly knew what to think

Most farmers have noticed that in
fattening swine, especially when they
are crowded rapidly, they always appear
weak in their hind legs, and sometimes
lose the use Of them entirely. An intel
ligent farmer says that he and his neigh.
bors have made practice of feeding
bone meal in such cases, and find that a
small quantity mixed with the daily
feed will prevent any weakness, and
strengthen the animals SO as to admit Of
the most rapid forcing. AS bone meal
is known to be preventive of cripple
all and weakness in cows. it looks rea-
sonable that it also should be a benefit
to hogs, which are often confined to a
diet containing but little bone-makine
material.

MEAL FOR MICH COWS.

In addition to plenty of good hay, |
believe that COWS which are giving milk
should be regularly fed with suitable
quantity of Indian meal. The follow
ing are few of the reasons for this be-
lief:
Because it gives change of food.
This is very desirable. Such change
sharpens the appetite and improves the
general health.
Because it lightens the labor of masti-
cation and makes digestion much easier
than it would be if the stomach was dis
tended with more bulky food.
Because it greatly improves the quail
ty the manure.
Because the cost of keeping is but
very slightly increased. -Four quarts of
meal each day for cow does not cost a
great deal in itself. AS already stated,
feeding it will confer several advantages.
If there were no other reasons than those
given above, it would pay we'll to feed
moderate quantity of meal to milking
stock. But it should be kept in mind
that the cost of meal is not wholly to be
charged to the account for extra keep
ing, for when COWS have meal they will
eat smaller quantity of hay. Thus
the hay which Is saved by the change
will do considerable toward payment for
abe meal
Because it invigorates and tones up
the system, enabling the animal better
to resist sudden changes of temperature,
and in cold weather does much to keep
up the animal heat.
Because it will largely increase the
quantity of which which is produced.
Cows which are moderately supplied
with meal give more milk per day, and
milk more days per year, than those
which are fed on hay alone.
Because it furnishes a cheap and reli-
able method for improving the quality
of the butter which is produced. The
winter butter which is produced on our
farms has obtained greater reputation
for strength than it has for sweetness
The mildest criticism which can justly
be passed upon much of this butter il
that it is deficient" in the principa
| qualities which go to make up a really
good article. The color reminds one of {;
newly painted house, and the flavor i
decidedly poor. Now if the COWS ar
decently good the addition to their ra
tions of hay provided the hay contain
no bitter weeds) of few quarts of mea
per day will make great difference il
the appearance of the butter. TIL
color will change from white to shad
great deal nearer the color which but
ter ought to bear. The flavor will ais
be wonderfully improved. just here
where Indian meal seems to be the supe
rior of many other articles of food fc
COWS which have been highly recommer
: ded. Probably wheat 'shorts" max
] COWS give as much milk as meal can d,
The same is true of some other thing
But it is very doubtful if there is an
kind of food in common use which wi
give as perfect favor to butter as India
meal.-Practical Farmer.
