feed in pastures becomes short, and the
flow of milk diminishing, with field of
good feed that has sprung up since cut
ting the crop of hay, the temptation is
very strong to turn in the COWS for a
batting. This may be all well enough if
not persisted in; but when animals are
allowed to feed in such fields until the
whole is gnawed SO closely as to be near
ly as smooth as house floor, such a
field can not be depended upon for much
unless liberal top dressing of some sort
of fertilizer is applied.
The best of bacon is made from pigs
not over six months of age, the object
being to kill them when not over 100
pounds in weight. Nor should the pigs
be extra fat, and the spare-rib lean
should always be left on the ribs, the
bone must be cut out, and the sides cut
square and smooth. Of course all the
fat cut off when trimming should be rem
dered into lard, while other pieces can
be put in with sausage meat Rub the
pieces designed for bacon with mixture
OF salt and sugar, to which little salt
petre has been added. Put them in
pile and let them remain few days. At
the close of the first and second week
rub each piece again with the mixture.
At the beginning of the fourth week
begin to smoke moderately and regular
ly. The plan of giving the pieces a
heavy dose of smoke once week is not
a good one. Smoke until the meat is
slightly Drowned. Then wrap each
piece III heavy brown paper-hour sacks
will answer as well-and then pack the
bacon away In dry wood ashes in boxes
or barrels until wanted for use.
The farmers of the country may be
divided into two classes, according to age
and experience-the old and the young.
Where there are many exceptional as to
each case, it must be admitted that the
old are too prone to continue old ways
and methods, and the young are too
ready to disapprove of the old, and risk
their interests on what is comparatively
new. The true policy is to cling to any
custom until something better is learn
ed but to be sure while clinging to be
on the alert for any improvement
Much of the life and interest of farming
arises to it's being progressive work.
Many important truths have been de-
veloped during the last few years,
causing important changes In the means
and method of agriculture. Those who
disregard these developments must, of
necessity, fail to compete successfully
with producers who judiciously adopt
what is good In the new and hold to that
only which is good in the new. A plain,
middle-aged farmer tells us that in his
community the young men are succeed
ing much better than the older, because
the former are using more of the fruits of
recent experience.

Jeanies' Tragedy.
Farmer

Jeanne is Scotch lassie who last year
came from Dunkeld to be governess with
Pittsburg family whose child she had
nursed there. When they urged her
coming she refused, and after some per-
suasion gave as reason that she was en-
gagged to be married to young Stewart,
who couldn't come with her because he
had to care for bed1idden sister. But
he urged her to accept the offer telling
her he would join her in January; 80 she
came. When she read the dispatch of
the destruction of the Tay, bridge and the
railroad train, she began sobbing and
exclaimed: cts Stewards train and
Stewart is drowned" The list of train
mems names next day was published and
Stewards was among them. And thus
the tragedy on the waters of the Scotch
firth brought agony to bright and
hopeful young heart 4, 900 miles away

An Earthquake in Japan.
From the Elmira Advertiser.

The Rev. George W. Knox, writing
recently about the weather in Yokohama,
Japan, and of the way they have some
times in that city Of waking up in the
morning, says:
"The weather is now simply superb.
A sky more clear and blue, brighter
SUN and bracing air, give the effect of
Indian summer at home. This is the
season to be in Japan, unless you would
prefer month in the spring. But al
most any time from October to June is
pleasant, with some variations, as for
example, when the people got signal
for earlier rising chan they are wont to.
Yesterday came such a visitation-a
sharp earthquake-few sharper since
such matters. My teacher, man of 35
years, does not remember severer shock
since the great one in Yeddo 25 years
ago, when thousands of the people per-
ished. Yesterday was more favorable,
in that no one was hurt so far as heard
from, but chimneys were thrown down,
beams fell from roofs, through the ceiling
to the floor, and walls were cracked.
The buildings could be seen rocking to
and fro. One house cracked and shook
as If some huge monster were trying to
pull it over. The door bell rang, the
lamps swung, the timbers groaned, and
the floor moved perceptibly. My first
impulse was to run out of the house, but
[ thought I might not be no safer out of
doors, SO [ stood still. The servant
started to run, but when she saw that I
stood quietly, stopped short, only ex-
claiming, 'Terrible!' Almost every one,
however, showed preference for the
street, foreigners and natives alike. At
Z In the morning, the hour when it oc-
CURED, Yokohama, for the most part,
was still In bed, but a minute later it
could not be said to be still anywhere.
Neither did people stop to make their
TOILETS before rushing into general socie-
ty. did not find it very terrifying, save
In the wondering uncertainty as to what
was coming next, and as things continued
to shake harder and harder, on unde-
Unable expectation that they would all
go to pieces. This amount of shaking
the house one could endure very well,
but suppose we should have another and
harder shake! However, we had no
harder experience, and the grooming,
trembling cottage did not come down
about our ears. The tiles on our roof
were more or less broken, but that is, no
doubt, the common state of things in
Yokohama this morning. At one of the
hotels chimney fell, striking the roof
of building next door and deposited
hale toms weight on a bed that CHANGED
to be unoccupied. On the whole it was
not very agreeable experience, and
earthquakes are by no means very pleas
ant visitors.

How Paris Gets Rid of Her Snow.

Since the heavy fall of snow which
took place in Paris in the beginning of
December, an average number of IL, $50
workmen, with 1875 wagons and carts,
and $500 horses have been daily en-
ployed in clearing the streets Despite,
however, the large number of laborers
employed the work proceeded
but slowly. 1t is calculated that during
the storm on the 7th and Sth of Deem
Der, seven and a half million cubic
metres of snow fell in Paris while the
sixteen days between the last downfall
and Christmas day only $4,000 metres
could be carried away The most rapid
way OF getting rid of the snow was found
to be to melt it by scattering salt over it;
but this method was also found to be too
costly to be employed except along the
tramways and in some of the most
frequented thoroughfares. A vast num-
Der of other expedients were suggested
and several were tried, but none proved
practicable.

child, her hayward pencil drew
On margins of her book
G1rlands of flowers, dancing elves,
Bird, butterfly and brook.
Lessons undone, and play forgot,
Seeking with hand and heart
The teacher whom she learned to love
Before she knew twas Art.
A maiden, full of lofty dreams,
Slender and fair and tall
AS were the goddesses she traced
Upon her chamber wall.
Still laboring with brush and tool,
Still seeking everywhere,
Ideal beauty, grace and strength
In the divine despair"
A woman, sailing forth alone,
Ambitious, brave, elate,
To mould life with dauntess wiz.
To seek and conquer fate.
Rich colors on kar palette glowed,
Patience bloo,ned into power;
Endeavor earned its just reward,
Art had its happy hour.

The hero of her early dreams,
Artist, but woman still.
Glad now to shut the world away,
Forgetting even Rome;
Content to be the household saint
Shrined in q peaceful home.

The sweet, supreme success;
Giving life to win life,
Dying that she might bless.
Grateful for Joy unspeakable,
In the brief, bhssful past;
The picture of baby face
Her loveiest and last.
Death, the stern sculptor, with touch,
No earthly power can stay,
Changes to marble in an hour
The beautiful, pale cay.
But Love, the mighty master, comes,
Mixing his tints with tears,
Paints an immortal form to shine
Undimmed by coming years.
So live, dear soul serene and safe,
Throned as in Raphael's skies,
Type of the love, the faith, the grief
Whose pathos never dies.
Divine or human, still the same
To touch and lift the heart;
Earth's sacrifice il Heavens fame,
And Nature truest Art.

[ do not think you will find it seasoned

high-tempered Polly seasoned her pies. {"
1t had flashed through Polly's head,
what, perhaps, she had done; but to have
it insinuated that she did it on purpose
was too much, and with choke in her
throat, which she was afraid would break
out in sob, Polly left the room
Miss Phoebe had never loved her or
phan niece; nay, more, she had always
disiked her; but since the advent of the
minister in the village society she had
seemed to hate her with all the venom of
an embittered nature. She had fed and

promised her dying brother she would do
SO, and "duty" was Miss Phnbe's watch
word. The little lonely thing had won
no place in her heart, because from the
very first it had turned from her and called
her ugly and cross. Miss Phoebe assert
ed, upon what foundation was questiona-
BILE, that but for this encumbrance she
would now be the wife of wealthy
farmer in a neighboring county.
So all that had been done for the
child had been done grudgingly, but
Notwithstanding, she grew up beautiful
and bright. The towns people, with
whom Miss Phoebe was no favorite,
whispered that she would never forgive
Polly for being so pretty-it was a con-
tinual cross to her. And perhaps this
was so, for at one time Miss Phmbe's
eyes were cast on the minister, but find
lug that there was not a shadow of q
chance for her, she determined, to use
her own expression, that Polly should
not 'entrap him. and she set to work
accordingly.

PROF. L. B. ARNOLD advises SKIM

ness is perceptible, and to churni at
go degrees instead of 70, before the
cream gets sour. When the butter
comes it granules, enough cold water or
brine should be put in to reduce the
mass to about SIS degrees, when after q
little slow churning, the granules will
become hard and distinct, and the butter
be in candition for washing out all the
buttermilk. The salt should then be
worked in with as little labor as possible,
and after standing while it viii be
ready to pack.
Hoes when nearly fat are liable to
have disordered stomach through over
feeding, refusing their food. The best
antidote for this is charcoal. If the char
coal is taken from the stove when cold

Of the many errors that farmers are
likely to fall into there is none more pro-
