Adelbef turned around in dazcd

him, and walked swiftly toward the dry
goods store which had been SO fortunate
as to secure his services.
All the afternoon Adelbert stood mood
lily behind the ribbon counter, thinking
of how he should revenge himself on the
naughty girl who had wrecked his hap

joy lighted up his countenance, and, put
ting on his hat, he left the store.

Effect of Food on Ilors.

understanding on the part of any one,
to really see how the flesh of fowl fed
ON wholesome food and water should be
better TO the taste than those fed ut ran
dom, and upon all manner of unwholc-
some food. This applies equally TO the
eggs also. Any one can test this quite
easily, if he so wishes, by feeding on
slop food, or food of an unclean kind,
such as swill ard decaying cabbage The
flesh of such fowls will quickly taint, and
eggs will taste unsavory, at least to any
one with an ordinary palate Fresh air
has also much to do with this matter
No flesh is fit for the table which is not
allowed an unlimited quantity of
pure air. If any person of ordinary
discernment would consider the act

NAL of Christmas and other similar times
of rejoicing, he would be quite easily
satisfied that although TO look at, the
stall fed animal, which always lacks
pure air, is the fattest, yet its flesh does
not agree with the stomach as does that
of a healthy, ordinary fed animal. Some
persons may say that the extra fat does

SUCCESS IN FARMNG.-To be success
full in farming one must always be care
full in selecting his seeds, use good judg
ment in selecting animals, keep his farm
well cultivated and free from weeds,
keep fences in order and take good care
of TOOLS He must also, as an exchange
says, be one who keeps out Of debt, and
has contented mind; sends his children
to school, aud takes one or more good
papers devoted to farm aud stock inter
ests. a farmer who never reads is like
a machine that is never oiled--it wears.
He wears himself out, eXhausts his land
and dies poor. One good sugges-
ton found in paper or book, is worth
to men more than half life of trials,
when not made intelligently. Don't be
afraid to read and acknowledge that you
can learn from others. No one knows it
all. Somebody knows something that
you don't. Let your aim be to acquire
everything any one can teach you, and
it will put money in your purse, brains
in your head, and influence in your pres
ence.-Trjb,ne eG Farmer.

CUTTING Fruit TREEs--There is n
great deal to be learnt yet regarding the
best time to cut timber. So far there has
been no practical test on a large scale,
and what we know is chiefly what is the
opinion of individuals who have had ex
perence in cutting timber. The follow
ing extract is an example: San old eX-
perienced farmer says that hickory cut
in July or August will not become worm
eaten Oak, chestnut, walnut or other
timber cut from the middle of July to
the last of August, will last twice as long
rs when cut in winter. White oak cut
at this season, if kept off the ground
will season through if two feet in diana
ter, and and remain perfectly sound for
many years Whereas, if cut in winter
or spring it will become sap-rotten in a
few years, ....
These observations are valuable as
leading TO the truth, but what is needed
ia thorough tests under competent SUI
peryision

Roor CELIARs.-The leading features
of a good root cellar are, proof against
frost, neatncss, dryness ventilation, and
cheapuess If a hillside is conveniently
near, it helps much to secure the desired
end An excavation should be first
made, in size depending upon the re
quired capacity of the cellar and in this
erect stout frame of timbers--posts
with plank or log pen, and OH which
place a stout roof The earth that has
been excavated, is thrown over the
structure, until the whole is covered to
the depth of two feet A door should
be made in the exposed end of the cellar,
through which roots may be put in and
taken out. The smaller the door, and
still be convenient, the better, as it allows
of less exposure to the frost A guam
tity of straw pressed in the doorway,
will aid greatly in keeping out the frost.
Every farmer with many roots to be
stored, should have root cellar, either
by itself, or in the lower part of the
barn 1t is not well to store a large
quantity of roots in the cellar of the
house, as the gases rising from them du-
ring winter may cause sickness to the
inmates.

MILK COMES FROM FooD.-We know
of many dairymen who give their cows a
small grain ration all the season, and
keeping strict account of the yield of
milk show that they make money by this
liberality. One who feeds fifty cows says
that he fed four pounds of middlings
per day through the season, finding that
he was fully paid in the extra milk; and
the COW was in so much better condi
ton in the fall that it saved him the
whole cost of this extra food in winter
ing. He has followed this system for ten
years He called our attention to n
neighbor of his keeping about the same
number Of cows, who followed what he
called the economical plan-let his cows
pick for themeslves-both taking their
milk to the same factory. Good feeding
produced S45 per COW; poor, S27, diff
ference of sixty per cent. in favor OF
liberality in feeding. This illustration
can be found in almost any dairy town.
Let every dairyman ask himself to
which class he belongs.-Er

when the organist awoke, he seized the
