Our SHIPS At SEA.

Tns AGoted with wishes and hopes and fears,
Ing about on the waves, while we
Alnger and wait on the shore for years,
<az1ng aiar through the distance dim
ana signing, will ever our ships come in?
We sent them away with laughter and song,
Ane decks were white and the sails were
new,
The fragrant breezes bore them along,
The sea was calm and the skies were blue,
And We thought as we watched them sail
OF the JOY they would bring us some future
day.
Long have We watched beside the shore
To catch the CLEAN of a coming sail,
But we only hear the breakers roar,
Wr the sweeping night winds dismal wall,
Iii our cheeks grow pale, and our eyes grow
And we sadly sigh, will they ever CINE int
On! poor sad heart, with its burden of cares
us aims defeated, its worthless life
Ina has Rarnered only the thorns and the
tares,
That is scared and torn in the pitiful strife,
Altar on the Heavenly golden shore
Thy ships are anchored forever more.

Royal family are Guelphs by descent,
her Majesty's marriage with Prince Al

few months ago, so 1 knew that the
name was "Wettin." OF course no

smiled at the horrible idea Of the
Guelphs being reduced to Victims! The
point was referred to Theodore Martin.
You are quite right" said the grace

Wintering Cattle.

PROTECTION. of dumb beasts against
inclement weather may be said to be
the basis of farm Improvement. just in
proportion to mans care for the stock
under his charge can you measure his
degree of progress toward the point Of
perfection that we should all struggle
to attain. The higher types of thor
oughbred cattle that reach these shores
with such blood-llke and elegant forms
are created almost solely by great care
in protecting them through long lines
of breeding, from the hardening and
roughing effects of exposure. In this
way we can readily see how much the
English stock-breeder is ahead of us in
his system Of handling cattle. We are,
however, q people quick to initiate the
practices of others when they strike us
favorably. In this way we have pro-
duced copies of the English race-horse
and fat cattle that have been able to
stand the test Of competition on the
other side Of the big waters. We thus
see not only the Importance of protect
ing stock, but it is evident we are
abundantly able to do it when we set
our heads in that direction.

only feeding, but in some measure at

Now Save the Rags.

The most noticeable, perhaps. of all
the advances during the late "boom''
has been in the price OF rags, which
have more than doubled in value, and
are now worth three cents and a half
per pound. At this price, and even at
much less, it will pay to save them and
sell them. The same is true of old
paper of nearly every kind, as by clean
sing they are reconverted into white
paper by the manufacturers.
In consequence of the scarcity of rags
and old paper, the price of "print,' OF
paper for news purposes, has gone up
from six and a half to ten cents at
wholesale. If this price keeps up,
there will be general rise in the sub
scription price, as has indeed in many
instances already occurred.
Almost any family can make enough
in a year by selling rags and old paper
to pay for all their reading matter.

least protecting them from inclement
weather. At the Far West where cat
tie are handled on grand scale, it
seems impracticable to furnish any pro-
lection outside of a vigorous constitu-
ton and thick hide, SO that cattle
there, so far as protection is concerned,
may be said to winter themselves. As
we come eastward we find the herds
smaller. and consequently better taken
care of. In the dairy districts particu-
larly there is something of a reform
going on in the way of protecting cattle
in winter. 1t was only the other day a
dairyman was telling me of often, when
boy, having heard the creaklng of the
cows feet on the cold snow at night, as
they moved about the stable-yard, to
keep up the circulation. He also said
that many a frosty morning he has
made the cows get up, that he might
warm his bare feet where they had been
lying. So it seems, in days gone by,
the boys were not much better wintered
than the COWS. But even to this day
in the best dairy districts it is simply
amazing to see the utter neglect of
shelter that is practiced by dairymen.
The toughest shed will save, in the
condition of the cows, large percent
age of feed, while full protection will
allow the number of the herd to be
added to fully one-fourth on a given
quantity of feed.
In the matter of what constitutes per-
feet shelter, doctors disagree. l have
seen the very best results in product of
milk and health of cows, where the
thermometer in the stable was never al
lowed to 60 below sixty degrees in the
coolest weather, and the air in the
stable was saturated with the smell of
manure-there being total absence of
ventilation. This may not be the most
profitable temperature for handling
cows, but the dairymen who did so,
made fortunes. There is one thing GER
tain, however, in relation to the correct
temperature of cow stables, the air
should never be allowed to fall below
the freezing point, if a profit is expect
ed from the milk yield. A cold COW is
about as useful for making milk as a
frozen pump.
Young stock require protection with
a view to their future usefulness. If
they are for beef, then the better Ele
protection the greater the profit from
the returns. If they are intended for
the dairy a little hardening will not
hurt them. "Roughing it, detracts
from the fattening tendency, and there
by makes more profitable milk pro-
Queer. Feeding and watering are cor
relative principles with shelter; and in
wintering animals they should be treat
ed in respect to one of these practices
as they are in the other. The ultimate
purposes for which the beasts are in
tended should govern their treatment,
for just as they are wintered will be
their future development.-L. S. Har-

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

The Minsesota Farmer remarks that
the best way to rid fields of the ''striped
gopher" is to feed him with corn soaked
in solution of sugar of lead.
CRUSHED and defaced velvet can
often be restored to its original appear
ance by holding the wrong side over
boiling water until the steam causes the
f1attened pile to rise; or the wrong side
may be thoroughly dampened and then
drawn several times quickly across the
face of hot flat-iron.
COOKING FOR INvAL1Ds'' gives the
following directions for making fig
buildings: Chop half pound Of figs
very finely; mix them with one-fourth
pound of coarse sugar, tablespoonful
OF molasses, four tablespoonfuls of
milk, half pound of flour. quarter
OF a pound of suet, an egg, and pinch
OF grated nutmeg; put the pudding
into a buttered mold and boil five
hours.
LAURA E. SwEET1NG contributes the
following recipe for a washing fluid to
the Germantown Telegraph, and says
no woman will regret giving it trial:
Take one pound of sal-soda, one-half
pound of unslaked lime; put them into
one gallon of water; boil twenty min
utes, let stand till cool, pour off and put
in stone Jug. Soak your dirty clothes
over night or until well wet through;
wiring out and rub on plenty of soap,
and to one boiler of clothes covered
with water add one teacup of the fluid.
Boil half an hour fast, then wash
through one suds, rinse in two waters
and your clothes will look nicely.
HERE and there may be seen stables
and barns with broken windows, loose
boards, holes in the roofs, or doors and
windows that cape open. Through the
openings the cold air will leak in, and
the warm air will leak out. Through
these leaks the farmers profits disap-
pear-very silently, it is true, but not
the less steadily and constantly. While
his cattle stand and shiver in the cool,
sharp nights, or steam under the pene-
trating transforms or snow, with every
SILVER there disappears a quantity of
the fodder from the barn, as we'll as
some milk from the COWS, some fat
from the sheep and some eggs from the
poultry. Exchange.
MOST flower seeds are good for more
than one year. Asters, stocks and
some other sorts are worthless the
second season. Of large number of
varieties, a portion will terminate the
second year, but not a very high per-
centage; such are phlox, verbena and
many others. Seeds saved in favora-
BILE season, and properly dried, will, of
course, remain good longer than those
saved in an unfavorable year, or care
lessly cured. As a rule, round seeds
are good longer than thin, fiat ones,
and many of the smallest are good as
long as any. Old balsam seeds are gen.
orally acknowledged to be better than
new. Last summer, in the garden of
an old German lady, saw some flowers
from seeds brought from the old coun-
try sixteen years before. She had
petunias, portulaca and gourds.-J. B.

Cleanliness Of Stables.

We frequently come across remon-
strances against keeping harness in
stables, the reason given being that the
ammonia prevalent there rots the leath-
er and soon destroys the harness. Now
this is beginning at the wrong end to
remedy an evil. We may talk and adj
wise year in and year out" about this
matter, but harness will be kept in the
stable in spite of all. Where else can
the majority of people who keep horses
hang these trappings? A rich man may
have a closet in which the harness NAV
hang safely from fear of ammonia and
all other dangers; but the average horse
owner will have his pegbehind the team,
because he can have no other way of
disposing of the harness. But the
trouble would end if the production of
ammonia was prevented. Enter an
ordinary stable at any period, but es-
pecially in the winter, when every cram
ny through which the wind can come
in is carefully stopped, and what an
offensive odor offends the nostrils and
irritates the eyes. Is this odor of am
monia, strongly alkaline and irritant,
injurious only to the harness? What

think of saving the harness and remov-
ing it to a purer place, the beast,

it, Is left to rot from these
pungent gases without any help. Clean
the stables, and the harness may hang
in them safely; and be sure, if the
stable is not fit place for the harness,
it is no place for the horse. A barrel
of plaster can be procured for about
one dollar. It is worth that a. fer

absorbent Of ammonia, and hundred
as health preserver to the horses, not
counting the saving to the harness.

with it.-RMral New Yorker.

people were laughing around her; one
tall gentleman almost stopped to lool
under her hat as he passed, bowed to
her companion, and would have Joined
them had Blumenthal been less frigid.
II have seen that gentleman before,' -
said Nina; che came with a lady who
was in a hurry for some flowers 1 had
promised. He called her Stella"
1t was his cousin, Stella Grande-
law" said Victor.
One day Victor, who could no longer
find q pretext to continue the sittings,
put his picture on exhibition. All the
town was talking of it before night.
"Such flesh tints! such expression!
such beautyr'
Yet it does not equal the original -
said Grandelaw.
"No," returned Victor; "pigment
is poor make-shift for fire and spirit. -
At about this time he received news
that his only sister was seriously ill in
London. He was obliged to drop his
pencil and fly to her without so much
as bidding Nina good-by; but he would
write and explain, he promised himself.
In the meantime Grandelaw found &C.
casion to make friends with Nina. She
had happened into a shop to purchase
materials for her work; she had laid her
pocket-book down for an instant, and
not till she had nearly reached the door
did she discover that she had taken up,
not her own, but another's plethoric
purse. At the same moment a strange
hand detained her, and she was accused
of theft. "This lady is friend of
mine," said Grandelaw, stepping for
ward to her rescue, having followed her
into the shop" she is friend of
mine;'' and the accuser begged thou
sand pardons, and obsequiously bowed
himself out of sight.
After this, what could Nina do but
accept him at his own valuation? How
could she avoid meeting him in her
walks, and allowing him to accompany
her? how refuse admittance to one who
had befriended her? And he knocked
often, and watched her at her pretty
toll, and the intimacy progressed.
Sometimes she opened her door, and
showed beaming face, but the smile
would fade soon. At other times he
observed that she started when foot
