BY ROBERT RExDALE.

OF nut-brown maid of summer days.
Pomena's nymph with golden tresses,
1 loiter mid thy woodland ways,
My heart is warm with thy caressesl
Full well know that winters gloom,
Ere long, viii Ger thy form be stealing,
And thy sweet lips, of richest bloom,
With kisses soft and still be sealing.
Yet wander as In dream,
Ard voice the words of fancy's wIeathing;
But list!-from reeds beside the stream
Pandean pipes are lowly breathing.
And now across the breezy void.
My inmost sense of joy enhancing,
The leaves of purple, red and gold,
With summers parting gales are dancingl
From boughs of the Hesperides
The luscious golden fruit is falling,
And Bob-o-link, amid the trees,
His Grant mate is sweetly calling.
o happy hours in woodland boweTsl
Full oft, a careless child, wandered
At will among thy brightest flowers,
Der Natures book deeply pondered.
Or, where the sad Helades
Alone their silent watch are keeping,
fingered mid such scenes as these,
When all the world below seemed sleeping.
o brook that carols to the seas
Thy silver waters, softly stealing
In winding course athwart the lea,
Stir up the very depths of feeling.
Like the Ausonian king of old,
Listen to the wood-nymph's pleading,
While this poor form, of human mould,
Plods slowly after fancy's leading.
Till DER chat ridge of rosy light,
Seen in my boyhoods happy vision,
wander from the shores of night,
Into the realms of life Elysian!

non,t I.at tha COWS Go DIZZY.

A long, even season of milk is absolutely
necessary to be a profitable one. There is
nothing that the dairyman needs more ex-
hortation upon than that of giving full ra-
ton to his herd at all times during the milk
ing season.
There is less excuse for feeding good
mich COW stingily than any other farm ami
NAL. She does not ask any credit; she makes
prompt daily payment; and her product is
cash article. If he has not the food at
hand, prudence and good judgment, as well
as humanity, require him to furnish he
full rations at all times, without regard to r
favorable or unfavorable season. We al
ways counsel dairymen to make an earnest
effort to produce all the food for their herds
upon their own farms, but the first principle
OF profitable dairying requires that they give
abundant food to keep up an even flow OF
milk, whether they produce or purchase the
food-Live Stock Journal.

Wit and Wisdom.

Dr. Risley of Philadelphia, speaking OF the
condition of the eyes of schoolchildren says,
"Hypermetropic eyes are more numerous than
both myopic and emmetropic; that next to
myopic astigmatism, distinct LESSONS are most
prevalent in eyes with hypermetropic astigma-
tism." From this it appears that the "eyes
have it"-but what it is they have is conun-
drum to us, and we regret that they have it.

Qualities of Milk.


More attention is being given to quality
OF milk, by dairymen, than was done few
years ago. 1t is a new topic, comparatively,
but one which may be proftably investigat-
ed. A correspondent of our Albany con-
temporary not long ago related the follow
ing instances of variation in richness in
milk in the same animals, that are little
remarkable, and will serve a good purpose
I'm stimulating inquiry and observation with
a view to obtaining more information in
this behalf.
"a neighbor has grade Jersey COW. In
June her milk was exceedingly rich, testing
by the am-gauge upward OF "a per cent. /;
the middle of October it tested only Is per
cent The general observation of dairymen
is that quality increases with the lengthen-
ing of the period of milking The COW was
in perfect health throughout the season and
her food was unchanged What is the
cause of this exceptional action? No cause
has been discovered unless it be this: In
June she was fat, in October she was poor
in flesh from excessive milk production.
The theory based on this is, that in June
she started with an accumulated store of
material which went to add quantity to the
milk she naturally would have produced
from her food. But that store being ex-
hausted, the quantity and quality were both
necessarily reduced.
A case of like bearing occurred in Chenan-
20 county few years ago. Early one spring
one Of the patrons of cheese factory was
found to be furnishing very poor quality
of milk. He had furnished good quality
the previous season from the same herd of
cows. lie was suspected of skimming or
watering. The lactometer and cream
guage seemed to assure his guilt. A COM
rnittee was appointed, who proceeded to
milk his cows and test the milk without
possible chance of adulteration. The inno-
eence of the patron was established. But
what was the cause of this change of quality
in the whole herd? The committee report
cd that no cause was discovered excepting
the hay upon which they had been fed dur
ing the previous winter was of poor quality,
and consequently the COWS were exceedingly
claimed to be sufficient to establish princi-
pie, yet they lead 10 questioning some of
the commonly received views.
1t is common view that a COW which
produces a large quantity of milk necessari-
ly produces poor quality. Was not this
view obtained from failure to observe the
conditions of the milking stock? Is there
any relation between quantity and quality
that necessarily they are found In inverse
ratio to each other? The quality may be
poor because the production of large guam
tiiy keeps the #animal in a reduced
condition. But every dairyman has
discovered that frequently his richest
mixers ahave been his largest mixers,
and that only as they were reduced
In flesh have the quality and quantity alike
failed. Some cows produce such large

the outlook is not 80 gloomy. az il
might be. The people, or those Of
them who have the money,
are fast getting over then
old-iime idess about education,
and are beginning to learn that an
educated community is better and
more prosperous community in every
respect than one where the masses
are ignorant. Seventy yesrs ago
there we're only 12S publio schools iu
South Carolina. and the appropriation
for them was but $37, 600 year. The
schools increased very sloWly-not
muoh faster than the white popula-
ten until the outbreak Of the war,
when they were virtually discontin-
ued. In 1876 the school fund had
increased To S1S9. 352. and the num-
Der OF schools to 2,483, while the
white pupils were 46. 444 and the
colored 1882. Last year the schools
numbered 1878, the fund had grown
TO 1857, Ais and the pupils increased
to 81 PIG whites, and 70. S53 eolored.
These figures indicate that the state
is fast becoming AmericAnized in the
matter of free popular education.
When schools are not provided the
failure can be attributed 30 inability
rather than want of inclin alton. II
the south can be let alone she will
redeem herself. It will take time to
accomplish as much as has been done
In the more prosperous north, but the
rapid advance made in late years,
and the evident awakening of the
people to their duty to themselves
and coming generations are broad
enough promises that the future will
be satisfactory.
