Immediately have crowd following

were here they invariably scattered, and
once in while came together inside

could walk together without being
crowded upon. The Austrian Arch
dukes, brothers of the Emperor, came
to Paris one at time, and made no
effort to attract attention, and Just now,
the Archduke Charles having departed,
Archdukc Regnier takes his place. The
first came to our department few days
since, TO be escorted about a. one Of our
gentlemen, and shown what he had to
offer, as an exhibit Of our industries,
and expressed much satisfaction. So
the whole train Of royalty will no doubt

venerable official by rushing into the
room with large bloodhound at his
heels. The interview was short one
and Bismarck and his dog went back to
their quarters. Four young students u

man and dog and began TO laugh. Bis

Cow Choking.

A veteran farmer told ME a few
DAYS ago of a method of relieving a
choking COW which was new to me,
but which he assured me was unfail"
ing. 1t is worthy of trial at any
rate. A round stick: two or three
inches long, is put into the cows
mouth, like bit,in a horses mouth.
A string is then fastened to each
end of the stick and tied to the
horns or up over the head. This
forces her to keep her mouth open
and allows the gas which forms in
the stomach. and is the cause of the
severe pain and rapid swelling which
accompanies choking in q COW, to
escape. The effort also of trying
to rid the mouth of its unusual
encumbrance is the best help toward
freeing the passage of the throat; if
the trouble is not removed in this
way the COW may be kept alive un@
til help is obtained for trying other
measures for her relief. In such
An old darkey has given us his
remedy for getting rid of cabbage
worms, which is as follows He gathA
ers a lot of dog fennel, puts it into
a barrel and pours water over it, lets
it stand about twenty four hours,
and then pours the water on the
cabbage, which will kill or drive the
worms away.-Cleveland Banner.

Oh! white cloud sailing. your folds trail

Across the ether blue,
iou hide the light of the starts tonight,
And not a ray shines through.
For ii the cleaning my thoughts 60
To the banished days Of yore,
And in loves strong grasp l fain would
clasp,
The forms l shall see no more.
The friends who love me gone above me,
Life's toilsome journey done,
They have gone through the gate where
angels wait
To give the glad "well done"
In q rudderless BARI, through shadow:
dark
float on n painless sea,
Towards that unknown shore where foreve,

Beat the waves of eternity.
Peace. heart of mine, the stars shall
shine,
And loving Fathers hand,
Safe over the tide thy bark will guide,
To home in the better land.
Oh loved ones singing, where harps arr
ringing,
Oh friendships broken chain,
Though Jordan's river the links may sever
I shall find them oil again.
From the heights afar, where the seraph
are,
A soothing voice comes down,
Thou must bear the cross. and suffer loss
If thou would st wear the crown.

Profits of Good Fee ding.

EA correspondent of the Country
Gentleman gives the following de-
tails of his experience on this sub"
ject:
Last fall I had the offer of q COW
on an old debt. ard hesitated some
as to whether I had better lose the
debt or take the COW, as she was old
and very thin, but finally concluded
to try and make something out of
her, though the chances looked very
small, and the boys made good
deal of sport of her, and said l
would get nothing but her hide.
She was farrow, and was net giving
more than one quart of milk night
and morning. I took her to the
farm and told my man to do the
best he could for her. He COM
menced. feeding her apples, and
though she gained steadily in milk
it was sometime before she improved
much in appearance; but after a
while the feed and care began to
tell on her, and i, three months she
was in good condition, and gave
twelve quarts of milk daily. One
week I brought from there nine
pounds of nice butter, which the
woman assured me was the product
of nine days milk, and at the same
time sold two quarts of milk daily,
and used what they needed in the
family, consisting Of herself and
husband. I expected to feed her
we'll, and turn out to grass to fatten,
but she proved so good for milk I
concluded to keep her another year.
She has kept in good order all sum-
mer, and given as much milk as any
Of the COWS, but we shall soon dry
her off, as we expect to have her
for new milch cow this winter. l
also bought last fall flock Of store
sheep, just as it was time to turn in
for winter, fed them till the 10th of
March on hay and oat screenings,
and sold them at an advance of
$3.50 per head.

Lucerne.

The land on which lucerne is
planted should be perfectly clean
If you plant peas on the land before
hand, by all means drill them and
cultivate carefully, that 10 grass OF
weeds may perfect seed. If pea:
are sown broadcast, it would be diff
cult to keep as clean as desirable
Taking everything into considera'
ton, the best plan would be not to
plant anything, but to plow and har'
row at intervals of three weeks from
June until time to SOW luce-ne
Many seeds of weeds being thus
brought near the surface, would
sprout and be killed, and the soil be
in best state for young plants tc
make a good start.
If the subsoil is stiff and compact,
subsoiling would be very advantage.
Gus. The roots of lucerne must de-
scend deep into the earth to enable
it to withstand drought and make
vigorous growth.
IF the soil is not rich, q moderate
application of some quickly availa>
bic fertilizer should be made at the
time seed are sown. Lucerne seed
are small, and do not contain much
nutriment laid up in them for the
young plant-the latter must rely,
very soon after growth begins, upon
soil food. Twenty-Five pounds Of
sulphate of ammonia and so pounds
of acid phosphate. mixed with rich
earth and sown with the seed on one
acre would meet the case-or $50
pounds of cotton seed meal would
answer. For q main reliance, we
should think the sash element ap,
