THE OCEAN Burial.

Oh bury him deep IN the dark blue sea,
Let the waves above chant monrnfnlly,
For there he lies in drcam!oss rest;
His heart in cold within his breast,
And the lips which moved in silent prayer
Have grown to icy stiffness there;
And the eye whose light twas joy to sec
Will sleep 50 calm in the deep blue sea.
O!'bury him deep in the moaning sea,
Where the sca-wccds twine and the cor
als be;
Where the winds low wall and the sea.

The Father calls, his work s done
Tho loved ones weep for the dear one
gone,
They'll mourn their loss, his gain twill
be;
Then bury him deep in the moaning sea.
o! bury him there in the restless deep;
He's far from the spot where his loved
ones weep;
From her whose cheek grew cold with
fear,
When the death word reached her wait
ing ear,
She may not kiss those cold lips now.
Nor part the hair on his dcatl-chillcd
brow;
She may not come to his grave and weep
For he must lie in the restless deep.
o! bury him there in the dark, cold deep;
The stars will watch DER hisqnict sleep
And naught shall tell where he is laid,
SO still, so deep in his ocean bed.
The sculptor's hand may mark the spot
Where those who rest arc by man forgot;
There needs no stone or dropping tree
His tablet is the lisping sea.
Yc have laid him there to tranquil rest,
Far down meath tho oceans billowy crest;
But the eye of God will mark the place,
Tho deep in the wavelct's cold embrace.
Yo have buried him there, but an angel

OF spirits bright from the far-of land,
Have borne his spirit all pure and free
TO his better home beyond the sea.

MINNESOTA LAND GRANTS.
The Attorney General has rendered opinion
upon certain inquiries submitted by the Secretary
Of the Interior touching the authority of the latter
to issue patents the State Of Minnesota for the
benefit Of the Southern Minnesota Railroad
Company for certain lands within the limits
Of the grant by act of July 4, 1866.
The question arose upon the fact that the road
portion OF it, constructed after the period pre-
scribed in the granting act. and upon line different
from that adopted the definite location. The At
torney General holds that the State entitled to the
lands. notwithstanding the road was built after the
time for its completion had expired because
no action. either legislative or judicial. had
been taken to reinvcst the United States
with title On the second point he holds that the
definite location by the company prior to the
ceptance by the State of rhe grant not binding
on either the State the government. and
that as the State had. by repeated leesla,
tion, required the company to build to GER
tain points several miles distant from the line
fixed by definite location. the government must ac-
ccpt the construction without reference TO the fact
that it is different route from the formally
adopted by the company and upon which the limits
Of the grant have been adjusted. The Secretary
has adopted the Attorney Generals opinion.

In keeping poultry for profit, SO many
things are to be considered, and so much
thought is necessary to success, it is no won
der that many fail Poultry keeping Is
thought by the unintiated to be too triAing
to be worthy the consideration of a man, and
the profits too inconsiderable for the matter
to be regarded as a business transaction or
conducted upon business principles. The
truth is, it is lack ofknowlede Of the real val
nc of poultry and eggs as an article Of food
in the comparison Of the cost of producing
and the market value, and lack in under
standing the principles upon which success
must be based, that give these opinions.
There are farms and farms in just this Sec
ton about US, where the conditions are such
that with but little labor, care and expense,
applied earnestly and Understandings, poul-
try keeping would yield profit equal to the
interest upon the farms value, and this with
out in anywise detrncting from other sources
of income. But instead of yielding this
profit, poultry is kept as necessary to fill the
farms complement of live stock grain is
scattered for their feeding, or they may pick
up what they can around the house, barn
yard or stable, while the eggs, if they are to
be found, are used for household purposes,
and there the matter ends. What is lacking?
just ths-oversight and the consideration of
the essentials to the greatest profit.

DRYING up IIslfer. Too Earl,

We have often urged that cows should be
habituated to yield milk ten mouths, and as
this quality of holding out well depends CON
siderably upon food and training to that end,
the heifer should be fed literally, and MIXED
carefully, to induce long season of lactation.
1t is important, first, TO establish this habit
and cause her to respond to liberal feeding /;
secondly, it is better TO postpone the time of
her second calf to the end of , to Is months
allowing her to recover from early maternity
We think the heifer with her first calf should
always be MIXED at least II months contin-
uously, and better II months, and then 90
dry three months before dropping her see
ond calf We find from many experiments,
that you may thus develop her milking quail
ty, and lengthen the milking season, which
are most important considerations
We know it is the habit of some dairymen
to give the young heifer a short season, as
they say, not to task her too much whilst so
young. II all cows held out their milk equal
ly, and could always be MIXED with a good
flow for ten months, when desired, no matter
when dried of at other times, this point of
rest for the heifer might have great force
But such is not the fact and one of the
greatest defects in COWS generally is their
milking so short period, and drying of at
seven or eight months, in spite of all efforts
TO prolong the season. This too frequently
is caused by the bad habit of drying of heif-
ers early We do not advise meagre feeding
and long milking but generous feeding, such
as will develop the whole system, and COM
plete the growth of the young cow.-NdtiOn-
