1t is a common practice among some dairy.
men to give their cows, while dry, but scauty
living. When COW ceases to give milk or is
dried up, any feed il considered good enough
for her. / think this is great mistake and
the result is, diminished product of milk,
both in quantity and quality when she does
come in. There is large draft on the system
to sustain the calf while the COW is carrying
it, and to keep the cow in good condition
geod feed is as important MS when she is Civ
ing milk. 1t is my opinion that dollars
worth Of food when COW is dry is worth one
dollar and half's worth after she comes in.
An animal in poor condition cannot digest as
much food Us one in good condition. If the
cow is poor when she comes in she will no.:
digest enough food to support the system, and
at the same time to make large quantity Of
milk. The practice OF turning COWS out on
poor feed while dry, expecting to make up
when they come in, by good feed, is very
uneconomical one, aud will not be followed
by good and careful dairymen. The way
treat my cows when they get calf is as fol-
lows: In the summer time keep them in the
stable for two days, feed good hay, give one
quart wheat bran morning, noon and evening
1 also give them a bucketftl of luke warm
water with q pint Of rye flour in it, morning
and evening. In the winter time | keep
| them three days in the stable, and with such
treatment I never had a sick COW. My father
kept cows forty five years, and he always gave
them rye flour in the water; he never lost a
single COW, and he owned as high as thirty
different COWS in one ycar.-Cor. Practical

THE OLD CA fsTON.
In an ancient church in the city Of Rome,
Far up in the grand and lofty dome,
The M aster hand Of artist had trn,.pdl


The master hand Of artist had traced
A cartoon, which should never have been de-
faced.
The sun that stole through the turrent blinds
Had faded the colors and marred tue lines;
And dust like vail, gathered thick and fast,
And hid from the present the work ofthe past.
And the thronging people who worship below,
And the priests who are wont to come and 60,
Ne'er dream, as they gaze on the wall SO high,
OF the rare beauties that hidden lie.
But a painter, ,one day, ,enwragped in thought,
On the dingy walls an outline caught,
And guessed that under the dust and mold,
And when life had swept the dust away,
And freely let in the light of day,
The magic brush in his skillfui hand
Rctouched with life the pictures grand,
And they flooded the chapel with radiance
bright,
Till it seemed almost like holy light;
And the people delighted, laughed and wcpt,
10 think that the walls such q prize had kept
Soall around in this world of ours
Are beautiful characters fairer than flowers,
BY evil influences marred and specked,
Or hidden away under cold neglect,
That need but the touch Of helping hand,
And plying love that will understand,
10 clear the rubbish AMI wrong away,
And raise to the life of endless day.

How to Treat Nervousness

First, remove the cause; restore the
tone OF heart, improve the blood. AL in
furious habits must be given up; late
hours and intemperancc in eating aban-
doned; smoking, if practiced, stopped.
This done, the patient is on the ROAD to a
cure; for nature is very kind when she
has chance, though she is d1eadfuliy
cruel when abused.
The food is most important. It mus
be abundant and wholesome-4noither too
much or too little. It should not be
sloppy, and soupshad better be avoided
so long as solid food can be taken. Rise
from the table feeling you had enough,
but not oppressed with what you have
eaten. Many man has lived to old age
by following this rule. The bread should
be stale, and no very heating food taken
Eight hours sleep should be take
every night if possible. This alone vii
nearly cure. ''Early to bad and early
rise' should be the motto. Sleep is tho
salvation Of the nervous system. When
there is strength, cool bath short ana
quickly over, With much friction under a
sheet, should be taken every morning,
and reaction secured. Without a re-
action much harm results.
The exercise should be moderate and
pleasant. Riding, driving, rowing, light
physical labor, are all good. Thoee who
live in cities and cannot enjoy out-of-
door labor or riding, should adopt sys-
tomato habits Of exercise Some form of
gymnastics will be very serrviceabie. The
lifting cure, if rightly med haa reat

doorstep; and was immediately engaged
in an eager talk with old Mrs. Atkins. 81
1t was many hours before quiet settled
down upon tho inmates of the little farm
house; but before they settled for the
night Farmer Granger and his wife
learned all that was needful TO- know of

. sea voyage being decided upon, his
father and mother sailed for France,
leaving him in the care of the village
minister and his wife. In six months
| came the news of his fathers death, and
some weeks later his mother, too, died,
and was buried in fo,eign land. The
boy remained with his friends a few
months only, for on the minister's re-
moval to another town he was taken pos
session Of by half: brother Of his fathers,
q rascallY, unprincipletl man, who had
ne love or kind feeling for Lis young
nephew. Here he was shamefally treated
till he could endure it no longer, and at
last, after six years of abuse and torment
he determined to seek home among
strangers. .~- :,
81 wanted to stay" the boy concluded,
"but didn't dare to tell you, tor fear you
would send me back
"Never, my boy'' interrupted the
farmer, earnestly. "You can stay with
US till you find better home, and we'll
| do all we can for YOU" :.
"Well," said Mrs. Granger, as she lay
down that night, "the idea of my dis
trusting that boy. I declare it makes me
feel mean to think of it,"
Early the next morning the farmer har-
messed old Billy, and, dressed in his Sun
day best, took the east road over the
''mountain." He returned late yin the
afternoon.
The announcement made at the tea
table was startling to at least one hearer.
II have seen your uncle, Jasper!"
The boys face paled, but the farmers
next words were reassuring.
He was inclined at first to be little
ugly, but after I'd had my say he cooled
down trifle, and fancy he won't give
you any further trouble. You can stay
