praDara For nrouthe

The diminution in milk superinduced
by summer drouths is one of the far
mer's drawbacks. The check in tie
flow of milk is sometimes felt through
out the entire season, even if favorable
weather should afterwards ensue, for
when cows once fall off in their milk, it
is hard work to bring them up again at
this advanced stage of their milk-giving
period. Such loss may be avoided by
taking the precaution of sowing a small
field Of corn adjoining the pasture, or
in some place where it viii be convent
ent to feed. Ii sown at the usual time
of planting corn. it will be large enough
20 use by the middle of July. Another
piece may be sown later, for feeding in
August. This viii be found cheap and
good for mich cows, on account of its
extraordinary succulence. Sorghum and
millet are also good, but the corn for a
soiling crop is better, On most soils It
lourishes during drouth, when every
thing else. suffers, The cattle can be
fed in the pasture, lane, or yard, at reg
ular hours. An acre or two will often
help out wonderfully in this way, and
that which is not needed for feeding du-
ring the summer. can be cut and cured
for winter use. ". b. d. IN american

0nl1aua Athlnties.


1t may be well for some of tile critics
who denounee the policy of eneourag-
ing athletic sports in colleges; who
charge to the debit of this policy many
evils that fairly belong there, and some
that do not; who find in these sports
nothing but wretched imitation of
the habits of English collegians may
be well for some of them .'to play the
good fellow, and come and see some of
our Matches And not only the
matches. but the daily outpouring of
the students into the green fields, where
they can breathe the pure air of outdoors,
and for the moment forget their books,
and with JOYOUS excitement obtain that
bodily exercise which all need, but many
neglect. 1t would be well for those
VINO crltlclse TO remember that to
schieve distinction in any of these sports
is not consistent with life of debaueh-
cry, or irregular habits of any sort. but
that the members of teams and crews
who enter upon a course OF training
voluntarily adopt methodical habits of
life, content themselves with n single
diet, abandon all forms of indulgence
which are condemned by sanitary au-
thorities, keep early hours. and in gen
eral conform their lives to just the
model that would be selected for them
by their well-wishers Nor do the hours
adopted for their daily exercise neces-
sarily interfere with the maintenance of
good standard of scholarship.
The daily routine work of the gym
nasium is in itself bore, which would
int Il 10, -, =,
the championship of the great numbers
interested in athletics, whose buoyant
health and overGowing spirits relieve
the hour of its tedium, and convert a
task into pleasure.
II we admit, as VIC must, that there
are men who oyerdo the thing, whose
ambition does not rise beyond place
in the University crew; that tie con-
tests stimulate tendency to back up
the college by betting; that the expen-
ses of the various teams have to be paid
by somebody, and that subscription pa.
pers are passed around for the purpose
of raising such funds; that the ;rayelinp
about to play matches during term time
lnterferes with the studies of those on
the teams, and that the games ought to
be 50 arranged as to prevent this2if we
admit all this, still the weight of these
charges partially offset by the stimu-
lus which these games give to the GREAT
health-giving system Of athletics. Which
keeps our young men boys for a wear or
two longer, and will lengthen the lives
OF many of them by decade.
4he young man whose sole ambition
II IS TO row IL the University crew, and
VINO devotes lis attention to this at the
expense Of his studies, would probably
come to college if there were no crew,
ana his ambition would then be satisfied
with some similar standard. If he gains
nothing else, the nut-brown skin, the
deep layers of muscles on the chest and
back and arm, are better than the pallid
complexion and fiaccid muscles which
would come from late hours spent over
the card table, in drinking and smok-

A Maine berman's Adventure,

A curious accident happened to a seal

Fon-works about seventy miles from
Bangor. He has been setting traps

turning, he struck through the woods

across a small camp which had been
used for shaving splits, This camp was

He built fire to warm himself and
laid down for a nap. He had been asleep
about twenty minutes when he was
awakened by roaring swapping sound

flames, He leaped for the door, but be-
lore he could get out his clothes had tax,

burnt off, and his hands and face and
portions of his body were badly burned.
As soon as he got out of the burning
camp he extinguished the fire in his

Learning q Trade.

Referring to the Inauguration of a
class in the science of plumbing. under
the auspices of the Metropolitan Muse
um of Art, in New York, a correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Record saws:
''lf this viii diminish the number of
young men whose highest ambition
seems to be to stand behind the counter
and wear good clothes, il will be q pup
lie benefaction. There is great deal
OF money in trades and very little in
counter jumping, and vet only one man
IN hundred is willing TO blacken his
hands with tools. It is not only the
boy fault, however. A gentleman of
my acquaintance, who is broker in
Exchange Place, said to me recently,
Il ought to have been a machinist: |
would have been rich by this time. When
| was a boy | wanted to 90 into the AL
lalre Works, but my father was afraid
1t ould soil my hands He wanted me
to be gentleman. The result is that
have never liked my business, and nev-
er made more than living at it. Had
he let me GO in as an apprentice in the
machinist trade, / would have been
building engines and coming money by
this time, and my whole heart would
have been in it. The fathers of TODAY
IN New York are the same. They would
almost as soon bury their sons AS to
make them apprentices. The result is
race OF mediocre clerks and bookkeep-
ers, who find their intellectual level in
the uash newspapers of the day"

The Detroit Free Press saws that q
saloonkeeper has cool way of turning
drunken men out of his bar-room.
When one of them gets fairly asleep, he
drops pounded ice down his back. As
it descends, he strGightens his spine up:
that makes it drop down little further.
As it gets toward the small of the back,
he looks very much surprised, and opens
his eyes wide, which previ sly he could
not open himself, or any for him.
He looks at three or four secs around,
and seeing every body looSing at him,
and feeling little cool and quiet, he
rises up and walks out the front door
1t never fails. A similar use of It may
account for the quantities of ice charged
for in the contingent expenses of Con-
gres5. If SO, it doesn't seem to do as
much good as the saloonkeeper thinks it
will; but perhaps nothing will start "a
