The Corn Crib Gross.

The OPP MON is quite preyalentthat the
larger breeds of fine animals are the nee
essary product ofexcellent food and are
not the common animal Of the farmer
The good animal is always the product
of plentiful food, but it will generally be
noticed that the best animals are always
those of good appetites and.consequently
are the best feeders of coarse foods. 1t
il the stinted animal that rebels against
the straw diet. The larger and better
beasts have good digestive and asslm-
ilative capacity. Successful feeding with
the COW, pig or steer depends upon nat
urlllv good animals, with vigorous appe-
tites and good digestive and assimilatlve
powers. 1t is the good animal alone
that will pay for high feeding. If poor
animal is to be kept it is questionable
whether it will pay to feed on the high
pressure system. Certainly it can be
overdone more easily with the poor
animal than with the good one.
While it is true that improved stock
of all kinds need good and plenty of it
for the best product aud the best devel-
opment it is also true That the best
sto X will do better on poor food than
the common animal. although it ls not a
profitable way to feed them. Those who
observe that young animals eat more in
proportion to weight than older ones
are correct; but it by no means follows
that the older are more economically
fed. The heavy consumption of food
by young animals is the very reason
WHY they make better use of food.
Those who expect to get a product OF
meat or wool or milk without an equiva-
lent supply of food had best stick. to the
old types, but the farmer who wishes to
get the most product from food con.
sumed will keep the better class and
give them all the good food, properly
proportioned. that they will consume
The corn-crib cross is a good one, but
it must be applied on good animals
or the results will not be satisfactory.

To Cleanse Dairying Utensils

Mr.. A. w. Cheever, editor ofthe New
England Farmer, and practical dairy
man. recommends that wooden milk
ing pals be discarded entirely, unless
the wood is completely filed with shell
lac, varnish or some substance that will
make the surface about as Lard and inn
pervious as glass. Common paint is OBJ
iectionable at any time, besides, 1t soon
wears off, leaving the wood exposed to
the drying influence of the air. Tin IS
probably the best material for milking
pals, and, while new and bright, ans
wers well for holding the milk and set
ting the cream. After the tin becomes
worn of, so the iron is exposed, sour
cream is liable to be effected unfavora-
ably by remaining in contact with IT.
With careful usage, good tin utensils
will last in good eonditio in the dairy
for long time. But for churns, butter
workers. trays, ladies and stamps there
is nothing equal to good, clean hard
wood, thoroughly soaked before using
and this thorough wetting is of more I'M
poTtance than some may suppose.
Cold water is just as good as hot, il
time enough is given it to penetrate the
wood, but hot water takes hold of the
wood much quicker and is therefore to
be preferred. His own method he
gives as follows:
Our rule would be to wet every
wooden utensil used in the dairy first In
not water, TO save time in swelling the
wood, and then in cold to bring it down
to suitable temperature to use. Care
should also be taken to Keep the wood
vet at the time it is in use. A butter
worker set away for a short time, with
the butter in it, will dry at the edges,
and unless again wet before using, will
be likely to absorb the butter when
brought in contact with it. Wheneyer
butter sticks 10 wood. the wood is not
in tit condition to use, and the chances
are that it never can be quite thorough

In warm weather it attracts moisture
and keeps the manure from tire-fanging
or burning from excessive fermentation.
In winter it keeps the heap from ireez-

Colonel F. d. C urtis writes the New

moving it is one of the best. The poor

to spread them, is to put the land IN

the ground is plowed so frequently that
they cannot grow at all, and this extra

Food for Animals

A farmer should always remember
that it is not the amount of food which
goes into an animals stomach that
makes the largest gain; but what it can
entirely digest and assimilate. These
differences are SO great that experiments
in feeding can never be made infallible
tests in the values of food, or of different
breeds of animals for fattening. or, in.
deed, of classes of animals OF the same
breed. As an illustration of this point,
one calf may consume quart oflinseed-
oil meal ana wheat rniddling and be in
perfect health; while smother of the
same age, on this amount of food, would
have scours; whereas if this kind Of food
was reduced to one-half or one-fourth
the amount, it would do well. The
same law will apply with equal force to
young pigs or lambs, and also to full
grown animals. Writer in Rural New

Silence reigned in the darkness
But out from the Fireplace old,
OPP to the dsrkening rafters
There shot a CLEAN of gold.
Lighting the face OF the dial
On the ancient family clock,
Showing the chairs and tables
Oigood old Puritan stock.
The tins on the dresser shining,
The sand on the whitened floor,
And grandfather's hint-lock musket
Above the high-latched door.
The spinning wheel in the corner,
The silhOuettes on the wall,
And shining upon the dresser
Decanters straight and tall,
The shadows danced and deepened,
The corners filled with gloom,
The sparks died out on the hearthston
And darkness filed the room.

Flowers IN the Home.

From the TORONTO Globe.
Flowersl How our thoughts brighten
1T that world They fly back over, ten,
twenty, thirty, aye. forty years, to the
times when we wove garlands from the
wild sweet blossoms. What dainty gold
necklet we have since worn has
given his the pleasure we felt when we
licked ourselves in a simple daisy chain?
But | did not take up my pen to write
Of our sweet childhood; I wish to speak
10 my sisters of the home; | wish to
remind them that nothing will make g
home truly refined but flowers. All,
hey are infinitely more than rich furni-
ure, and even more than books or pic
lures, or music itself, for they speak TO
all. None are too, old, too young, too
ignorant nor too refined to be taught by
those sweet, fragile teachera Then,
busy, planning housewives, find place
for something that will tell you "God is

not be rare exotic in costly vase.
Primroses, yiolets, hyacinths, or any
sweet, simple flower III an ordinary pot
is quite enough. But you can make your
pot quite a work ofart with little pa
tienee, ingenuity and corks. Take a
flower pot, a small wooden box, or any
thing convenient, and glue on fragments
OF corn until the outside is covered with
a rustic coat. Then fill with mold and
plant your flower.
Another way is-plant your pot or box
a dark brown; then, when, it is dry.
gun on some of those pretty, cheap
scraps in wreaths or groups, and finish
with a coat of clear varnish. Yet au-
other way is to adapt common sea shells
and pebbles. All, they are little things,
but they will brighten a room, and per-
haps a sad, dark, weary soul. What
mem ories they awaken! But week ago
pot of spring flowers was placed in my
hand, and with their sweet breath float
Ell the memories of ten years ago. when
I gathered the wild flowers and wove
them into garIands; when | was not
alone, but had the companionship of one
who now sleeps in Gods Acre beneath
the flowers, when my faith in God and
man was unshaken; and for that glimpse

their sweetness and beauty will reward
