A Happy Custom.

It is related by travellers, as an in stance of how little the customs of Eastern nations have changed during many hundreds of years, that in the fields of Palestine the very same words may be heard now as in the days of Boaz and Ruth.
 When the master enters the harvest field, he salutes his reapers just as Boaz did:
 God be with you"
 And the peasants respond always in the same words:
 "God bless thee"
 It Is happy custom, that may wcll see no change. We should all do we'll 10 use this anciant salutation:
 G The Lord be with thee.''

Lice on CaIfies

The cheapest and one of the best means of ridding stock of lice consists in the free application of wood ashes, frequent brushing, removal of old IT .lirty It dding, occ asionai application of boiling hot water to the woodwork of the stalls, sheds and sites, or lime wasting of the same. All loose hairs and dirt removed from the bodies of the animals by brushing, as we'll as old bed ding, sLould be collected in a heap and burned. The presence of vermin on live stock can never be successfully combatted by simply applying certain remedy to the b ody of the animals, and not at the same timo attending to tue general cleanliness of these, as we'll as of their surrounding. gs.-Nationat Lire Stcck Journal.

Treatment of ounds in Pruning.

When large wounds are made in re- moving limbs or branches of fruit trees they should be covered with common oil paint. Linseed oil and the mineral iron paint is the best for this purpose. It does not cause the bark to grow over the wound and so heal it, but 1t pre- serves the wood from rotting, and go prevents the decay and injury of tke tree. No living thing, not even tree, can long exist with 8 part of it in dead and decaying condition.

How to Succeed.

The right way to obtain good COW is tn raise her. Choose good calf, feed it we'll, but iudicionsly, but feed 1t faithiuIly and see to it that it is done. Some of our best breeders claim that the milking qualities of COWS can be influenced for the better by feeding the growing calf upon such foods as promote and stimulate the formation of milk glands. Be this as 1t may, milking strains are In the main hereditary, and great ilk yields can best be secured by breeding under the farmers own super vision, selection of the best, and feed ing to attain the end sought-milk. By raising his own COWS the farmer has two chances as against one where he buys ais dairy stock. The penalty of failure in selecting good COW is the necessity of combining the cows body in the fall, and her small tredit for milk, to balance the purchase money, losing her sum- mer's keep and the labor of milking. If the heifer should fail in being good milker she can be turned into early beef and the finances added to capital stock, the actual conversion of so much grass and hay into money. y.-Ohio FGrmer
 Early Chicks.
 The following remarks on the best time to have Aatchings or chicks are from tbe American Poultry Journal:
 While there are hundreds of chicks hatched cut during the month of March, there are moro living results from the hatchil gs made in April and May, when ths weather is more equable and the cold chilly winds less frequent. In March ii is just as easy t3 get out the chicks, but they are subject to more hardships dur ing that month than Iat:r in the season, which augments the mortality con- siderably. All through April there are req1ent and sudden showers o guard against, but then they need not bs fe.red, while the weather intervening is generally mild and pleasant, so the chicks hatche1 during April get 8 gcod growth and neat dress uf feath- CTS, before the warm, hot and dry days of summer are upon us Chicks hatched in March, April and May are usually tarne 'early hatched' chicks. for they wu, If we'll cared for and liberalIy fed, attain good size before the cold weat fer sets in. and usually commence tc lay in the fall. Late matched birds do not, as rule, lay until the following spring, thus neglecting to pay for them selves uni il two, three or four months after birds matched but month or two earlier.
