The grazing of land by a mixed stock of
cattle, sheep and horses results in the land
being more evenly grazed than where one
kind only is kept. Where. however. many
sheep are grazed with cattle. as they pick
out all the finest of the grasses and clovers
with their narrow noses. the cattle will
not thrive so we'll. But sheep, on the
other hand. eat with avidity and impunity
much which cattle dislike and avoid.
Many pastures grazed only with cattle.
are in spring-time quite yellow with but
tercups, which a few sheep mixed in with
the cattle would keep down. Horses,
when kept in pasture by themselves,
are very uneven grazers. A few. kept in
large cattle pasture, will Craze the rank
places where cattle have previously left
their manures, and also about gate places
where the land has been trampled. Both
horses and sheep will thrive much better
when they are able to select their own
food.

Swine-Their Breeds and Manage
ment.

All improvements in swine undoubtedly
originally came from crossing the domestic
hog of China upon the native breeds of Eng
land. The hogs of Europe, Asia and Africa
undoubtedly had a common origin. since they
are fertile together, and the offspring are
completely so, from generation to generation.
Thus the hog of all these countries has, with
out doubt, contributed to the improvement of
our improved breeds. the hog of China and
Siam probably having had greater influence
than all others whatsoever.
The Chinese hog has been bred with care
and attention in China from time immemori
al there is no doubt, and this with special
reference to early maturity and strong fatten-
ing propensities. In China, from its early
civilization and the care bestowed upon
the cultivation of the earth, we early find
it occupied with dense population.
1t still holds this pre-eminence of density Of
population. Thus everything there must con
form itself to those conditions that will best
subserve a struggle for life. They cannot
afford to feed the larger animals, nor, Indeed,
any animal to great size. Their systems
are all artificial. Hence, we find the Chinese
hog; hence, the prepotency of his blood and
tor the reason that having once attained
breed that answered the wants of the commu
nifty, no further attempts were made in eN
perimenting, but the dominant breed was
kept intact.
They are compact, rather small, chunky.
white hog, of good constitution, active feed
ers. and with plenty of bone. 1t is the
infusion of this blood that long since con
verted the semi-wild, raw -boned, strong
shouted. long ng-legged. bristly and hard feeding
hog of England, into the tolerably compact.
deep-boded, broad backed and short shouted
hog of 20 wears ago in England and that nv
careful breeding has since given us the many
admirable breeds of white swine that have
successfully held the public taste. So i'm
provement from careful breeding has from
time to time appeared, and which for fineness
of bone and aptitude of fattening in the
smaller breeds, and for great bulk and sub
stance, to-day are nowhere excelled. outside
the mother country and America. .-Breeder's

THE CHILDREN WE KEEP.

The Children KEEP, coming, one bv one,
I'll the bows were i've and the girls were three,
And the big brown house alive with fun
From the basement floor to the old roof.tree.
Like garden flowers the little ones grew,
Nurtured and trained with the tendereSt care
Warmed by loves sunshine. bathed in its dew,
They bloomed into heauty, like roses rare.
But one of the boys grew wssry enc day,
And leaning his head on his mothers breast.
He said II am tired and cannot play;
LIT me set a while ynur knee and rest.
She Graded h IN close in her fond embrace,
She hushed him 10 sleep with her sweetest song,
And rapturous love siill lighted his face
When his spirit had joined the heavenly throng.
Then the eldest girl with her thoughtful eyes,
Who stood where "thc brook and the river meet" 4"
Stole softly away into Paradise
Ere "ihe river" had n ached her slender feet.
W htle the fathers eyes on the grave are bent,
The mother looks upward hey ond the skies;
"our treasures" sh Whispered, "werc only lent,
Oar earrings were angels in carth's Disguise
The years flew by and the children began
With longing 10 think of the world outside;
Aud each, in his turn became a man,
The boys proudly went IRON the Ia hers side
The girls were women so gentle and fair,
That lovers we've speedy TO WOO and win,
And with Grange blossoms in braided HAIR.
The Old home WAS lcit, new home 10 begin,
50. one by one, the children have gone
The boys were tve and the girls were three,
And the big brown house is gloomy and lone,
With but Two old folks for its company,
They talk to each other about the past,
A. they sit together at esentidt,
Aud say, IAN the children we keep at last
Are the hey aud the girl who in childhood died"

TWO PLEASING TRANSITIONS.

TWO PLEASING ExHIBITIONs.
 If Walter Scott is aware of what is taking place on this revolving globe he cannot feel much fattered by discussions which have arisen in England and Canada concerning the usefulness and morality of some of his works.
 In Liverpool, England, some admirers of scott's works thought it would be a good idea, and not dangerous, to let the children in the public schools read at least one of them. The proposition was to include ''Ivan- hoe' in the list of works to be read in the high schools. One member of the Board of Education held up his hands in horror at the idea of placing 8 novel in the hands of young children, but he was consistent enough to oppose the introduction of certain alleged histories and other works commonly SUD- posed to be at least largely made up of facts. Tho gentleman took the broad ground that it was not the business of Board of Edu- cation to cultivate in the schools & literary taste, to supply amusement or to teach his- tory from sources that were not reliable. He found supporters in the board, but he also found opponents, and after lively debate the board voted to expose the tender chill dren to ''Ivanhoe." We congratulate the ohil dren.
 In Canada the question is whether the fla the high schools of the Province of Ontario The poem, which is ono of the subjects in which students must be examined for admis- sion to the university next year, was adopted as part of the course of instruction in the Ontario high schools this fall. It had hard ly been studied at all, however, before the Education department ordered it withdrawn, on the ground that it contains some passages which are morally objectionable. and others
 which may be offensive to the religious sen- timents of portion of the inhabitants of sermon of last Sunday denounced it as in- sulting to Catholics. The Archbishop ad-
 mitted that he had directed the attention of
 the Education department to the use of the
 poem and asked for the interdiction. Ob jection to the writings of Scott on religious grounds is something new, but the Arch
 bishop is most positive in his denunciation of ''Marmion." The story Of the poem is offensive to Catholics, he says, because it in- troduces an apostate nun, who flies from g convent to become the mistress of Marmion, and because it speaks slightingy of 'monks ! and priests and bloody Rome." The Toron to Mai1 ridicules these objections to work 1 which has been accepted as one of the purest ! writings in the English language for seventy. four years, and Ikens the sudden zeal of the ! Catholics to the action of 'the excellent Christian who pounded @ Jew for the crime of Calvary because he only heard of it yes terday.'" There seems to be an impression among members of the opposition party in Ontario that the substitution of another text book for ''Marmion'' is largely due to the enterprise of some shrswd publisher of school books.
 What the outcome of the discussion in Canada will be remains to be seen. It will at
 least do good by calling attention to the merits of writer whose works justly admired by all lovers of good literature.
