forget her. ' = &
The current of that fear grows
stronger and sWifter, until finally she
finds that the breeze, grown to a gale, is
moaning round the corner of the house
and IN through the open window behind
her with a lonesome sound that she can
not bear; and she rises impatiently and
shuts the window down and herself out
with the night she has hardly done
this when a familiar odor greets her
senses, and, presto! the scene changes,
for the odor is Enthusiastically that of a
cigar. She stands perfectly motionless,
and looks down IN an opposite direction
from where she has been looking, and
there, pacing up and down the walk
slowly, is her artist, with that mascu-
line comforter between his lips. There
is an old saying about his santanic
majesty, but she adapts it to the case in
hand, as she thinks in her ignorance
and quotes to herself, "Think of angels
and you hear the rustling of their
wings"
She hardly dares breathe SIS she
watches this bright being, probably for
fear of frightening him away But he
walks up and down without even a
glance at the balcony, and presently she
breathes freer; but still she watches and
he walks, and in the meantime the
clouds are growing heavier. Presently
she hears low rumble of thunder and
at the same instant Rex losses away his
cigar.and comes straight to the balcony.
Striking tragical attitude, he lifts his
face to her and signs out &

TIE FooD OF CuILDREN.-The greatest
mistake parents make is in giving chill
dren too much meat. A child requires
meat not more than once day. and this
should be hot and fresh cooked, as it is
decidedly more nutritious and easier di-
gested than cold meat. This should be
followed by some light farinaoeous pud-
ding; the most wholesome are those of
rice or batter. Cheese should never be
given to children, rs it is too heating and
exciting for the tender brain. SO also are
sweetmeats of all kinds. given in excess,
injurious; they clog the stomach, pail the
appetite, and produce fever and sickness
Eating between meals should also he dis
couraged the stomach requires rest after
work, like everything else. Late suppers
should be forbidden, and nothing be eaten
just before going to bed; a drink-if posi-
bic, a cup of milk slightly diluted with
water should supply this want. If children
suffer from chils, caused, in general, by
the mpoverishment of the blood, fewer
dantes should DO given them, but more
nourishing food.

Bro. Gardeners Figures.

Here is more from the Lime Kiln Club,
which is plain truth told in Il plain,
straightforward way, and can be made
pretty broadly applicable. Farmers have
less opportunity for spending time and
money at beer gardens than mechanics or
laborers who live in cities and large
towns, and that may be one reason why
the harI times are less severely felt by
them. The man who makes the best use
of his lime, and is frugal with his earnings,
will still be able to keep the pot boiling
and with something satisfactory inside OF
it. The spelling is not according to the
dictionary, but the moral of his arithmetic
is first rate:
"Dis mawnin' ez l war walkin' out

Nothing striking to note in the legisla-
ture the past week concerning the Board of
Agriculture, excepting perhaps a remon-
STRANGE against any further appropriations
for it, presented by Mr.. Brown of Rich
ford. There have been some interesting
farmers meetings in the agricultural
committee room, ut which the matter has
been discussed pretty thoroughly. But
what puzzles us is that some farmers are
in the ranks of the opposition TO the bill.
What of progress seen in the past among
farmers, has come from farmers. and there
is where we must look for it in the future,
and the work of the board has to our mind
been an important agency in this progress,
and with some additions to the past plan OF
operations, we do not see how they are to
be improved by any radical change. Be
fore any members are frightened at the
cost of the board, let them look over the
auditors report carefully, and, rs Mr..
Lockwood of Woodstock said. they will
find some interesting reading and find
there is money spent in other directions
than for the farmers benefit, and other
opportunities for retrenchment quite ms
needful, rs the Board of Agriculture.
Is it so terribly extravagant to pay the
members of the board dollar and half
per day for their work when they hold
three meetings in a day, taking eight or
nine hours time, while others at work for
the STATE, the members Of the Legislature
and the pages and porters, who get four
or five hours work, receive double the
amount And what reason for the small
er per diem of the members of the board
except that they are farmers?

"Shinc your boots? Five cents a shine.
Shine Your boots?"
Tim had tried his best 20 get work, but
no one wanted his boots cleaned. He
wondered why it was. When mother wa,
alive, how often Tim had begged her tt

make lots of money. mother" he would
say. But she always shook her head and
said a." Keep on mt school as long rs You

But the poor, hard working woman had
over-taxcd her strength taken a fever AMI
died. Then Tim, left alone in the world
with nothing but II couple of neat but
much-mended suits of clothes and five
iollars, resolved to set up us Il bootblack
For a whole week he had tried it Some
DAYS he had got two or three customer
but now for Two days not ore person had
let him shine his boots. His five dollars
we're almost gone; what should he do?
Tim was almost desperate, and in his de-
sire for Job asked Il lady who was pass
inc if he could shine her boots. Perhaps
she had little boys of her own, and made
it Il rule never to pass II poor boy without

"Th,ts bad" said his new friend. &" if

neat. think you have good mother"
Tim tried to answer, but his throat
swelled. and tears filed his eyes.
There! there! Don't fret, dear; here's
the house. Wait on the area, and the
cook will let you in" Soon pleasant
faced woman opened the lower door and
told Tim to sit down by the kitchen fire.
The kitchen was full of the odor of SOUP
and you know how that will make you
hungry even long before dinner time,
! Tim, who had had no soup since his moth
er had last cooked their dinner, snutled
the air, and remembered sadly how good
his mothers soup used to taste.

Tim WAS too hungry to remember his

We clip from an exchange the following
description of new milk strainer, made
by Moscley & Stoddard, makers of dairy
men S furnishing goods, Poultney. A good
milk strainer is good thing, though We
think COWS should be so MIXED and cared
for that there should be very little to strain
out. The more particular dairymen are
as to cleanliness of COWS and care in milk
ing, the better the result:
The bowl is made of brass or copper,
and is seamless. At the bottom of the
bowl is the strainer of pyramidl form
and the entire material and work is
that character that no question could arise
rs to its durablity-it will last a life time
with proper usage. But the strainer which
is ingeniously fitted in the bottom of the
bowl, and taken off at pleasure for clean
ing, is a marvel of mechanical ingenuity
and excellence. II is pyramdal in form,

Method in Farming.

The Farmers Club fair in Boston re-
ceives contributions from various sources
of articles for reading and publication.
Among these was one by IIoratio d. Shop
pard, from the American Institute Farm
crs' Club of New York, in which he re-
ates the following as the substance of n
conversation which he heard about half II
century since. between two New England
farmers, well known and highly respected
in their day.
Farmer Jones, who, by the way was an
intelligent Scotchman, was interrogated
as follows. by his friend and neighbor
Farmer Davis, whose object was evidently
TO obtain, from man of practical wis
dom. some of the secrets of his success:
"Ilow is it. Neighbor Jones, that you
always have things in so much better con-
dition than ordinary flrmersP Your crops
are abundant. you have grain in youl
granary, plenty of hay in your barn, beei
and pork in your barrels, wood in youl
wood house. while your buildings are alsc
in good repair, and things generally seem
to Ire easy and smooth, and if at any tim,
there are any needful things to be sole
very cheap for cash, you are sure to have
the cash to buy them with. Now would
like to learn how you manage to accom-
plish 50 much with apparently LITTLE
effort. p"
To this Farmer Jones replied: " | Cal
describe to you some of my methods
which are probably different from most o
my ncighbors. In the first place, keel
my manure better sheltered, so that it il
not easily washed away by the rains no
dried on; by the sun. Moreover, | appl!
it on the best land, rather than scatter |
over poor and gravelly hillsides; in othe
words, cultivate only rs much land us
can keep rich and in good condition. |
costs no more to fence, pillow and cultivate
IN acre of good land than one that is poo
and comparatively worthless. | find tina
the labor bestowed on the best land bring
the best reward. You will find, if yol
look around you, that the farmers in thi
part of the country spread themselve
over too much inferior soil and the ten
dency Of this practice is to keep them poo
all their lives.
Again, | do not undertake to winte
100 much stock. Rather than do this
prefer to sell in the fall and buy in til
spring. But what | do winter over ar
well fed and sheltered and kept in goo
heart, ut whatever cost. find | ca
generally buy up lean and hungry cattle
and other stock, in the early spring for
very small sum; little Indian meal, wit
forage or early grass. and good nursing
very soon brings them up to the rigl
point. This costs far less than carryin
too much stock through our long winters
Again, generally manage to keep som
ready money on hand, or within cas-
reach. | consider this one of the nece
sary means for keeping my finances an
) my general business in good condition
Whenever occasion arises for paying OF
} his ready money set to work to replat
it as soon us | can, jus las | would al
other necessary implement of the farm
the household"
Now it seems to me that many of OF
farmers Of the present day would find it
their advantage to take II leaf from the o
Scotchman's sound and successful philos
ply of farming.

rs above mentioned; the milk. as it is
poured INTO the bowl. strikes the top OF
the pyramid, runs through the strainer,
leaving the substance taken from the milk
around the base If the pyramid. This is
better seen than we can describe it. In
the strainer there are one hundred threads
per inch, which makes ten thousand holes
to the square inch. The largest strainer
of the three sizes has fifteen square inches
surface, which makes one hundred and
fifty thousand holes. The second size has
eight square inches surface, and the small
est, six inches.
