KEEPING PURE-BRED STOCK,

Many farmers have made the mistake0f
trying to keep aud breed a herd, or 6ock,
of pure.bred animals, and have, thf66gh
their frequent failures, brought discredit
upon such stock. Pure.bred stock, assa
rule, are not profitable for farmers. They
cost too much no farmer can afford tp pay
$4,000 to So, 600 for a. herd SQf l0spare-
bred cows. They are used to careful tend
ing and high feeding, and their product is;
no greater than the average of good grades
of these breeds. We know Of n herd OF,
purc-bred animals in existence; NAT swonld
product of milk, butter, or meat alone Il
is Only by the sale of animals ff BREEDING
that the profit is made. But a0mittingthis
to be true, pure bred Stock resnot, fohshis
reason, to be considered of LEGS yalue. IF
we have not the pure stock how canswe
procure the grades, which ate pund so prof.
table? Grades, Of h&h cHSrdcter, are sthe
most profitable farmeB cqws.y Experience
proves this to be so in cveyF case. A most
notable instance of it is fdSpain the. herd
of Mr.. Thomas Fitch, d Now London,
Conn, who has been engaEM in crossing
the Jersey upon every othaE Breed, inelud-
ing what are known as ''a1tire" cows, for
more than 80 years. Thisi1f6ede keeps q
herd of choice pure-bred anfSfa1s descended
from the old fashioned impostations, made
when the butter product was more thought
of than black points, solid. color, or other
tancies, for the purpose of raising grade
COWS Of large producing capacity Of rich
butter. Probably no bree der in the country
has been more su -ccsstul in his line, and his
success is an example for farmers, which
proves that it is best to choose one breed
with which to improve his native stock, 10
adhere to that, gradually grading up his
herd, aud selecting only the best to breed
from. One pure bull, which may cost:s250
to $500, will sire, during his vigoronk PEI
riod, at least so calves, thus adding afmall
trifle to the cost of each over that of &cAH
from common scrub BULL BY adhStihs
to one breed, there is certainty of astSv
ing at definite result very soon; batyby
the too frequent habit of changing Srfg
two or three years, no satisfactory res1is
gained, and after lifetime of futile efbft,
the farmer ends where he begun, andsbe-
tratcs pure. bred stock rs the cause oEshis
! failures. AS with cows, so with sheep,
swine, and poultry. The pure breeds arc
not found profitable to keep, except for
their services in raising grades, and in
keeping up supply CT bre ding animals
for this purpose. In this way farmer, who
can afford it, may be justified in purchasing
two or three pure bred animals for improv-
ing herd of good natives, and if he uses
these with skill, he may find it very profit.

TIE NEW CHURCH DOCTRINE.
by WILL CARLETON.

by WILL CARLETON.
There's come sing lar doctrine, Sue,
Into our church to-day;
These cur us words are what the hew
Young preacher had to say; .
That literal everlasiin' fire
Was mostly in our eye;
Thst sinners dead, if they desire,
Can get another tryi
lie doubted il n warmer clime
Than this world could be proved.
The little snip-I fear some time
He'll get his doubts removed.
I've watched rny daty, straight an true,
An tried TO do it well;
Part Of the time kept heaven in view,
An part steered clear O hell
An now half of this work is naught,
If | must list TO him,
An this ere devil have fought
Was only just whim.
Vain are the dangers have braved,
The sacrifice they cost;
For what fun is il TO be saved,
If no one else is lost?
Just to think suppose, when once view
The heaven I've toiled to win,
a lot of unsaved sinners, too,
Comes waikin' graudly in!
An acts to home, same as if they
Had read their titles clear,
An looks at me, rs if to say,
Were glad to see you here -,
AS II to say, ''whIle you have beea
So fgst TO tee the mark,
We waited till it rained, and then
Got tickets for the ark -
Yet there would te some in that crowd
I'd rather like to see.
My boy Jack-it must be allowed
There was no worse than he
I've always felt somewhat to blame,
In several different ways,
That he lay down on thorns o shame
To end his boyhood's days;
An I'd be willin''t endure,
If that the Lord thought best,
a minAe's quite hot temperature,
Tie clasp him to my breast.
Old Captain Barnes was evils son,
With heterodoxy crammed
used to think he'd be the one
If any one was damned;
Still. when saw n lot o poor
That he had clothed and fed
Cry desolately round his door
AS soon as he was dead,-
There came thought couldn't control,
mat In some hcutral lonu
I'd like to meet that scorched up soul
And shake him by the hand.
. Poor Jennie Willis. with q cry
OF hopeless. sad distress,
Sank sudden down one night 10 die,
All in her ballroom dress
She had precious little while
TO pack up an away;
She even left her sweet good smile
Twas on her face next day;
Her soul went off unclothed by even
One stitch of saving grace;
How could she hope to go to heaven,
An start from suci place?
But once, when lay sick an weak,
She came, an begged to stay;
She kissed my faded, wrinkled check
She soothed my pain away;
She brought me sweet bouquets Of flowers,
AS fresh rs her young heart
Through many long an tedious hours
She played a christian part:
An ere long will stand aroun'
The singi saints among,
I'll try to take some water down,
Too cool poor Jennie's tongue.
But tears can never quench my creed
Nor smooth Gods righteous frown
Though all the preachers learn to read
Their Bibles upside down,
hold mine right side up with care,
To shield my eyes from sin,
An coax the Lord. with daily prayer,
To call poor wanderers in
But if the sinners won't draw nigh,
An take salvatien's plan,
I'll have to stand an see 'em try
To dodge hell, if they can.
