Acreage Required for a Cow.

How much land is required for
the support of a COW? This ques,
ton depends for an answer, so
much on the circum stances of the
soil, as not to admit of very def
mite answer. Mr.. Schulz, of Little
Falls, n. V. estimates that the
land in pasturage and hay, requi
site for the support Of a COW, IS
thee acres; ana this is the estimate
of Mr.. Darlington, for moderately
good farms in England. In Bel
GUM ten acres of land support two
COWS, one heifer, and one yearling
or calf, but when the calves are
sold off young, and COWS in full
milk are only kept, the proportion
IS two COWS to seven and one halt
acres. Colman estimates three
acres of pasture as requisite for
cow in Berkshire county, Mass.
while in some towns two acres of
pasturage is sufficient. Mr.Faring-
ton, in the report of the American
Dairymen's Association, thinks
that on the average four acres are
required per COW, for summer and
winter keep; while Mr.. X. A. Will
lard thinks that in Herkimer coun-
ty, n. Y, one and one-half to two
acres of pasture per COW will an
swer, and in some exceptional cases
one acre. Scientific Farmer.

Our Young People
MADE UP FROM THE BEST CLIPPINGS.
Live not for Thyself Alone.

God has written upon the flowers
that sweeten the air, on the breeze
that rocks the flower 10 its stem,
upon the raln-drops that refresh
the sprig of moss that lifts its head
in the desert, upon the ocean that
rocks every swimmer in its deep
chamber, UPON every penciled shell
that sleeps in the caverns of the
deep. upon the mighty sun that
warns and cheers earth's busy, bus
Ting millions that live in its light
upon His innumerable works He
has written, mo man liveth to him
self" And probably were we wise
enough TO understand these works
we should find there is nothing from
the cold stone in the earth, 10 the
minutest creature that breathes,
which may not in some way minis
ter to the happiness of some living
creature. The flower which best
answers the end for which it was
created, the tree that bears fruit the
most rich and abundant. the bright
star that wrinkles lar away in the
azure blue heavens. and is most
useful in guiding the nightly wan
derer on his way-these we admire
and praise the most. And is it not
reasonable that man, to whom the
whole creation, from the beautiful
rich colored flower up to the span
gIed heaYens, all minister-man,
who has the power of comforting
deeper misery and higher happiness
than any being on earth-man, who
can act like God ii he will, is it not
reasonable that he should live for
the noble end OF living not for him
self alone but for others? Is it not
reasonable that he should live to do
good-to ameliorate the condition
of his race-to scatter seeds Of hap
piness in every community i'll which
he lives and through every circle IN
which he moves? He is the best
man, the purest philanthrOpist, and
the hottest Christian, whatever else
he has or lacks, who lives for his
race, the all-controlling motive OF
whose conduct is to make men
good, useful and happy. Then, inn
mortal man, live not for thy
alone.

Dust on Your Glasses. "

1 don't often put on glasses to
examine Katy's work; but one
morning, not long since, did so
upon entering room she had been
sweeping.
"Did you forget to open the win
dows when you swept, KatyT in
quired.
"'This room is very dusty,
81 think there is dust on your
eye glasses ma am" she said mod
estly. And sure enough, the eye
glasses were at fault and not Katy.
/ rubbed them off, and everything
looked bright and clean, the carpet
like new, and Katy's face said: Pm
glad it was the glasses, and not me
this time.
This has taught me a good lesson,
1 said to myself, upon leaving the
room, and one 1 shall remember
through life.
That evening Katy came to me
with some kitchen trouble. The
cook had done so and so, and she
had said so and so.
When her story was finished, l
said smiling: "There's dust on
your glasses, Katy; rub them off;
you will see better" She under
stood me, and left the room.
L told the children and it is quite
common to hear them say to each
other, "Oh, you have dust on your
glasses" Sometimes / am re
ferred to, ."Mamma, Harry has dust
on his glasses; can't he rub them
ofY'
When l hear a person criticislng
another, condemning perhaps a
course of action he knows nothing
about, drawing differences prejudi
cial to the person or persons,
think right away, There's dust on
your glasses; rub it off.
l said this to John one day, some
little matter coming up that called
forth the remark. There are
some people l wish would begin
to rub them" said he. "There
is Mr.. So and SO and Mrs. So and
So; they are always ready TO pick
at some one, to slur, to hint. l
don't know,-I don't like them"
Il think my son John has a wee
bit on his glasses just now" He
laughed and asked, what is body
to do?' keep your own well
rubbed up, and you will not know
whether others need it or not" Il
WILL" he replied. think as fam
lily we are all profiting by that little
incident, and through life will
never forget the meaning of "There
is dust on your glasses"

The Ornament of a House.

Let a man say, here is my house.
pray you, o excellent wife, not TO
cumber yourself and me to get a
rich dinner for this man or this vo-
man who has alighted at our gate,
nor bed chamber made ready at
too great a cost. These things
they can get for a dollar at any
village. But let this stranger, in
your looks, in your accent and be
havior, read your heart and earn
estness, which he cannot buy at
any prlce, in any city, and which he
may well dine sparely IN order to
behold. Let the fare be good and
the bed well spread, but let not the
of hospitality lie in these
things.
The ornament of house is the
who frequent il. 1t is Il
which, where truly known,
postpones all other satisfactions,
and makes politics and commerce
and churches cheap.

Boys in Demand.

There are always boys enough in
the market, but some of them are
of little use. The kind that are al
ways wanted are: L. Honest; 2,
Pure; 3, Intelligent; 4, Active; 5,
Industrious; &, Obedient; Z, Steady
s, Obliging; 9, Polite; 10, Neat.
One thousand first-rate places are
open for one thousand boys who
come up to this standard.
Many of these places of trade are
already filled by boys who lack
some of. the most important points,
but they will soon be vacant. One
has an Office where the lad who had
the situation is losing his first
point. He likes to attend the
drinking saloon and the theater;
this costs more than be can afford,
but somehow he manages to be
there frequently. His employers
are quietly watching to learn how
he gets so much spending money.
They will soon discover a leak in
the money drawer, detect the dis
honest boy, and his place will be
ready for some one who is now get
ting ready for it by observing point
No. and being truthful in all his
ways.
Some situations will soon be va
cant because the boys have been
poisoned by reading bad books,
such as they would not dare TO
show their fathers, and would be
to have their mothers see.
The impure thoughts suggested by
these books would lead to vicious
acts, the boys will be ruined, and
their places must be filled: Who
will be ready for one of these va
cancies?.
Distinguished lawyers, useful min
listers, skillful physicians, success
full merchants must all soon leave
their places for somebody else to
fill. One by one they are removed
by death.
Mind your points, boys; they will
prepare you to step into vacancies
in the front rank.

Reading Pays.

In various ways it pays to store
the mind with knowledge. The
body is controlled and directed by
the mind. Keep it in exercise, and
it acquires vigor and strength, and
is disciplined to use this strength
as desired. just so ones mind; by
active exercise in thinking, plan
ming, studying, observing, it ac-
quires vigor, strength, power of con-
centration and direction. Plainly,
the man who exercises his mind in
reading and thinking gives it in
creased power and efficiency and
greater ability to direct the efforts
Of his physical frame-his work -
to better results. than he can who
merely or mainly uses his muscles.
The man with a well stored mind is
pretty sure to be successful ID his

Typhoid Fever and Milk.

Health Reformer: We have fire
quently called attention to the dan
ger of communication of this dis
ease through the medium of milk.
If cows take the poisonous germs
in their drinking water, they will
be certain to appear in the milk,
and those who use the milk will be
quite certain to take the disease.
A well in the barnyard is a reser-
voir of disease. Without much ex-
ageration, or use of hyperbole. such
a we'll may be said to DE full OF
dead mems bones, and not only
bones of dead men, but of women
and children by scores and hun
dreds, sometimes. Many an cpl
demic of typhoid fever which has
destroyed 'the best and brightest
of many families, has beep traced
directly to such a course.
The health officer of Bristol, Eng
land, recently called attention to an
epidemic of sixty cases, many of
which were traced to similar orr
gin.
A man who keeps and uses a well
in a barnyard would not endanger
his family more, and would imperil
his neighbor less, if he should plant
powder magazine under his
hearthstone.
