Meal for Mich Cows.

In addition to plenty of good hay,
believe that cows which are giving milk
should be regularly fed with a suitable
quantity of Indian meal. The follow
ing are a few of the reasons for this
belief:
Because it gives a change of food
This is very desirable. Such a change
sharpens the appetite and improves the
general health.
Because it ightens the labor of mas
ticatiOn and makes digestion much
easier than it would be if the stomach
was distended with more bulky food.
Because it greatly improves the quail
ity of the manure.
Because the cost of keeping is but
slightly increased. Four quarts of
meal each day for a COW does not cost
a great deal in itself. AS already stated,
feeding it will confer several advant-
ages. If there were no other reasons
than those given above, it would pay
well to feed a 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 ac-
count for extra keeping, for when COWS
have meal they will eat a smaller guam
tity of hay. Thus the hay which is
saved By the change will do consider
able toward paying for the meal.
Because it invigorates and tones
up the system, enabling the animal
better to resist sudden changes of tenn
perature, and in cold weather does
much to keep up the animal heat.
Because it will largely increase the
quantity of the milk 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 cheap and re-
liable method for improving the quality
of the butter which is produced. The
winter butter which is produced on our
farms has obtained a greater reputa-
ton for strength than it has for sweet
ness. The mildest criticism which can
justly be passedupon much of this butter
is that it is deficient in the principal
qualities which 90 to make up a really
good article. The color reminds one

is decidedly poor. Now if the cows are
decently good the addition to their "a
tons of hay Crowded the hay contains
no bitter weeds) of a few quarts of meal
per day will make great difference in
the appearance of the butter. The
color will change from white to shade
great deal nearer the color which
butter ought to bear. The flavor will
also be Wonderfully improved. Just
here is where Indian meal seems to be
the superior of many ether articles OF
food for cows which have been highly re-
commended. Probably wheat shorts
make COWS give as much milk as meal
can do. The same is true of some other
things. But it is very doubtful if there
is any kind of food in common use
which will give as perfect flavor to but
ter us Indian meal.-Er.

How to Make Sunshine.

g Sunshine! why, we have plenty of
that every day?' says dear little friend
at my side.
Yes, we certainly have plenty of it
outside of us, and it is the most beauti-
full thing in the world, because it makes
everything pleasant that it looks upon.
But it is another kind of sunshine |
mean we are to make. Your own heart
is the sun, and your home is the little
world which you are to fill with happi-
ness.
Do you suppose the sun ever sees
anything dark with that great, bright
eye of his? Why, no; for the moment
he looks at anything it grows bright,
and nothing can be dark where he is
looking. Just so. if you always carry
heart full of sunshine with you, every
thing will seem beautiful and bright.
But if your own heart gets clouded with
Impotence or discomfort, you will find
the pleasantest place on earth very
gloomy and disagreeable,
How different would our lives be if
we were only determined. in spite of
discouragements, to be cheerful and
happy ourselves, and to add, by every
possible means, to the welfare and hap
piness of those around us!
But can every one be happy who
wishes it? Surely every one who de-
sires happiness. Then why do so many
fail in the attempt to gain it?
Because they do not try in the right
way. Our only way to be happy is the
one in which God is happy, and that is
by being good and doing good. Those
who earnestly try this never fail Of sue
cess.
But can every one be good?" says
my little friend, thoughtfully, and with
downcast eyes.
Yes, dear; every one can be good by
the help of God. who willingly gives the
help of His Spirit to all who sincerely
ask for it.-Early Days.

Rush for Public Lands.

just now there is a rush for public
lands, says the Hartford Times, thou
sands coming to the conclusion that it
will pay better to secure homestead

the number of settlements will nearly
double those of last year. This increase
is so large that it keeps the Office hard

land enough, although the various rail

Humming-Birds.

What, then, shall be said of the
humming- that tiny dweller in
lovely tropical forests, iuttering and
darling among wildernesses of orchids,
creepers, and air-plants, as gorgeous

Amazonian plains, lone-lying as en-
chanted?" Prof. Orion, writing of the
South American wilds, says: 1.-the
lianas, starred with flowers, coil up the
stately trees, and then hang down like
strung jewels; they can be counted only
by myriads, yet they are mere super
fuities. The dense dome of green
overhead is supported by crowded col
umns, often branches for eighty feet.
