COTTON SEED MEAL.-Dr. Henry Stew
art of New Jersey, says: "For horses and
pigs cotton seed meal is most dan gerous
food, and should never be given; besides
they do not want it, having other feeds
that are better. For COWS and sheep it is
the most valuable feeding we possess, if
given in moderation, just as find a beef
steak is most valuable food for man, but
it will not do to consume it voraciously, or
all the time to the exclusion of starchv
food, as bread, potatoes, rice, etc. The
effect of over feeding in COWS shows itself
very quickly in an increase OF milk and
cream, and, if anything goes wrong in an
attack of garget. In pigs and horses it
appears as congestion of the brain, what
we call staggers. | have found one quart
of cotton seed meal free from husks, one
quart of corn meal, and one of bran, to
make the best and safest feed ration, given
twice daily for COW in full milk The
husk of cotton seed is indlgestible and will
make trouble very surely if fed to COW
When say bran l mean rye or wheat,
but like rye best. The effect of cotton
seed meal on the butter Is to harden it, to
give it a good texture and fine, nutty
flavor. Lnseed meal has quite the oppo-
site effect and palm nut meal will make
the butter soft and greasy, too, although it
largely increases the butter. But 1t is |
necessary to watch a COW very closely
when feeding cotton Seed and never 10
give any of it within two months before
calving, or within ten days aflerward, and
then begin gradually. Two ounces a day
is quite enough for a calf under six months
old, and indeed l have never yet found it
of any advantage to a calf, while it can
have corn and oats and bran avoid using
it for any animals except COWS or for fat
tening beef animal. once very nearly
lost valuable thoroughbred COW by an
attack of garget from feeding cotton seed
meal in a forcing experiment. and no more
than four quarts was used in the dav or
two feeds. The effect was to cause the
udder to become hard and the milk to
cease, and when this trouble was removed
by long couse of treatment, the udder
gave only blood. Since then have had
occasional trouble from the stupidity Of
hired men who, knowing it was rich food,
supposed four quarts would be twice as
good as two, and so enlarged the quantity,
or fed it TO pigs, and killed them very
quickly. Finally mixed one ton of meal
GA bushels of corn ground) ton of bran,
or wheat shorts, as could get it the most
conveniently, and a ton of cotton seed
meal, very Thoroughly on floor, and then
put it into bin, and since then have had
no trouble. Three quarts of the mixture
are the regular feed when the cows are in
full milk in the winter, which is my dairy
season."

Those wonderful waves of brown and gold,

And the little bare feet are cold.
Then out Of the gathering winter chill.
All out OF the bitter st. Agnes weather.
While the fire is out and the house Is still,
Maud and Madge together.
Maud and MadHe in robes OF white,
The prettiest night-gowns under the sum-
Cnrtained away from the chilly night,
After the revel Is DONE
Float along In a splendid dream.
To golden, differing, tinklnx tune. .,,,
Whise thousand lustrues shimmar ing stream
In palaces grand saloon.
Flashing OF Jewels and futtsr OF laces.
Tropical odors sweeter than musk,
Men and women with beautiful faces
And eyes Of tropical dusk.
And one face shining out like star.
One face haunting the dreams Of earth.
And one voice sweeter than others are,
Breaking into silyery mirth,-
Telling. through lips Of bearded bloom.
An old, old story over again,
As down the royalbannered room,
To the golden, Suffering strain
Two and two, they dreamily walk,
While an unseen spirit walks beside,
And. all unheard in the lovers talk,
He claimeth one for a bride.

With never pang of jealous fear
For. ere the bitter st. Agnes weather.
Shall whiten another year.
ROBBED for the bridal and robed for the tomb.
Braided brown hair and golden tresses,
There'll be only one of you left for the bloom
OF the bearded lips to PRESS
Only one Tor the bridal pearls,
The robe of satin and Brussels lace,
Only one to blush through her curs.
At the sight of a lovers face
beautiful MadYe in your bridal white
For you the revel has Just begun:
But for her who sleeps in your arms night
The revel of life is done!
But ROBBED and crowned with your sanity bliss,
Queen of Heaven and bride Of the sun,

WASTEFUL DESTRUCTION OF CALVES. -
Thinking men are much concerned over
the continued habit OF destroying large
numbers of calves in the dairy districts
They realize fully the tli:utty of per
suading the dairy farmer that it would be
wiser to save ut least the female calves,
for the farmer who can readily sell every
ounce of milk at profit, will not readily
bother with raising calves. Very naturally
he ask, "Why should feed twenty do :
lars worth of milk to raise fifteen dollar
calfP' and it is not easy to show why,
for dairymen can buy milch COWS when
they need fresh ones, feed them well, and
fltten quickly when the flow of milk shall
have fallen below u profitable point, and
sell TO the butchers Tor enough, or very
nearly enough, to pay for fresh COW.
If he realizes that the time will come
when mich cows become scarce and hard
to buy, then milk will become scarce,
and easy to sell at higher prices than are
now current. The profits of the dairyman
will thus be affected comparatively little,
by any change which may thus come in
the supply Of COWS. In this case, as in
many others, the unwse policy of destroy
tIC iCllelo, Will, III lue cllu
serve to increase the cost of living Every
one who uses milk or butter, will have to
pay part of the penalty for Strengthening
these thousands OF young calves, each OF
which, if brought to maturity, might pro,
duce in the natural course of her life, food
amounting to many times her own weight
and value. Killed at the age of six OF
eight weeks she will yield at best, few
pounds only, of not very nutritious food.
just how reform may be brought
about in this matter does not appear
The daityman can scarcely be expected to
feed calf milk worth more than that calf
will be worth when weaned. even though
he may fully realize that there is here in
the west strong demand for all thrifty
calves, at prices which cause such ANNA 8
to be brought hundreds of miles from the
east. He may believe that the supply. OF
cows in this country is much below the
wants of the rapidly increasing population,
and that beef, and milk, and butter. must
rise in value year by year, so that IL few
years hence each COW will become much
more profitable than she would be now,
but he will probably continue to sell his
young stock to the butcher as soon rs il
shall have become old enough to kill fol
food. Chicago Tribune,

A Summer Comfort.

Who among the sisters of the Household
that has not wilted under the almost un.
bearable heat and labor of i" ironing day''
in summer? When the dishes had been
washed, the milk things sca.ded, dinner
cooked for the hungry haymakers and
dishes again washed, and the basket of
folded clothes stand by the ironing table
ready for the hot irons, who of us that has
not wished there was some way that the
irons might be made Kissing hot without
the fire in the range or cooking stove
to add its glowing heat to that of the
almost equally bot weather.
We have, many times, and have taken
the table out into the porch and travelled
TO and from the stove for our irons till it
was weary road. But now this is changed
we have an oil stove. We had read
about them, and thought perhaps they
might do for family of two or three to
iron by, but dreaded the smell and feared
possible explosions. and thought the kero.
sene flavor would be prominent in the
bakings, and had not much faith hope or
charity for them for family like ours.
But one day the "gude mon brought
home No. 3 Adams e. Westlake stove,
and after looking at it week or SO we
had it filled. 1t was hot afternoon and
we wanted hot water for tea and washing
the dishes and milk things, and thought
we would sec if so small Il thing would
heat so much water. So it was lighted,
the tea kettle and boiler put on, and we
looked on with some apprehension to see
whether i would explode, but he you
know who "he" is in the family explained
that every avenue of approach to the oil
was guarded by wire gauze (he benitcent
discovery of Sir Humphrey Davy, which
made mining comparatively safe), and
that there could be no danger. Well, the
water did heat and soon the tea kettle
hummed as cheeriy as if it had been in
its accustomed spot on the glowing stove,
and still tn Groom was not heated AS with
the stove.
Then we looked forward to ironing day
with curious anticipation. The ironing
top was put on, which holds three irons,
and the fire lighted and while the room
was not much heated, there were hot irons
always ready and with no trouble of fixing
the fire and no Sabbath days journey to
and from the stove.
1t costs about cent and half an hour
for oil, but it pays in comfort, and where
one has fuel to buy is, we should think, az
cheap as anything, and has this advantage,
the heat stops and the use of fuel as we'll,
when the work is done. And it bakes so
nicely; the heat is steady and even and
can be so easily regulated, while there is
no odor or flavor in the cooking.
Now our oil stove is necessity in our
household, and while we presume there
are other good ones, the one we have has
some points of safety and convenience
which we believe no other one has, and
we can recommend it, confident that it
will give any one trying it satisfaction and
great relief in the work of the summer
kitchen.

NeIghbOrly Kindness.

1t may seem very simple thing to
write about matter so common or 80
familiar, as this may be supposed to be-
and so we should have thought week
ago. But we saw something few days
since, while in town some miles away,
which set us thinking, and we wondered
whether after all neighborly kindness was
SO general and common as we had sup
posed, What happened was in haying.
In our own experience, several times
We can now recall when having hay down
and ready to get in, shower threatening
and we straining every nerve TO save it
from wettlng, some neighbor who by
harder work or better calculation, Or some
other favorable condition, had his hay safe
under the shingles, would, with out word
being said, come in with team and help
and work just as hard as we to save the
crop. No charge would be made for the
work, and it would be taken as matter of
course to be repaid in like manner. On
the occasion spoken Of we were stopping
at farmers house, who hal got in all
his hay, taken an early tea, and himself
and two hired men were about the house,
doing nothing in particular, while not ten
rods away a neighbor WAS working with
might and main to save the hay from the
coming shower, which in its coming wet
and damaged several loads Of hay which
might have been saved by this neighbours
help. Now neighbcrs should live OF such
terms of kindly feeling as to make the
interchange of such kindly offices matter
of course, and not the less so if personally
they are not congenial. 1t is a smt of
mutual assurance society, for mutual pro-
lection in emergencies, it pays in a
pecuniary way. But better than this is
the kindly feeling engendered, the broth
erly Kindness" the charity, the human
feeling which makes the possessor better
and happier man, and brings out in the
giver as well as the one who receives the
benefit, the better qualities of his heart
How is it in your neghborhood2 Would
you help your neighbor in his need ?

As the country grows older the wells
do not give as good water as they did
when first dug particularly if near houses
or barns In time the soil through which
water percolates becomes saturated with
offensive matter, and sometimes streams
of filth find their way to the we'll from
cess pools and stables. Rain water from
the roofs of houses after being filtered is
much better, and is always safe and pure.
