Currying Milch Cows.

To n farmer the idea of currying COW,
mich or otherwise, is an absurdity but to
the darymen who have highly.bred COWS,
who take pride in their business and get
the top price of the market for their produce
it is matter ofmoment, in that it is knownto
increase the milk flow and the butter produce
by ten to twenty per cent. We say that this
is known, and will further say that it is so far
an established fact that few, if any, can be
found to dispute it,
There are many points in the conduct of
dairy unknown, indeed, unthought of by
farmers, that will presently have promin-
ent place in their management, very much to
the benefit of themselves and those who re-
ceve and make use of their produce.
Among these are succulent food, protection
from inclement weather, kind handling,
thorough and careful milking, full and regu-
lar feeding, clean stabling, (when stabled,l
and an absence ofioul odors, good ventilation,
plenty of light and that thorough cleaning
of the skin without which no mich COW can
perform her duty thoroughly and we'll With
all these we must, to have q "tip-top" article
of butter, have the washing of the udder and
teats before milking and with this an entire
absence of the filth accumulated in feeding
and lounging between milkings.
Ofall these, one of the most important is

the hide of superfluous hair, keeps it active
and healthful, and void of that peculiar odor
so commonly found in milk and sometimes
in butter. 1t promotes the secretion and dis
position of the putrd particles of the animal
system which would otherwise be absorbed
by the secretory glands and be carried off in
the milk, and leaves the latter not only purer,
but of much better flavor and gives promise
to the butter maker of a higher color and q
purer flavor to the butter from the churn,
hence higher price in the market.

tails, but when reduced to a system they oc.

How he Gained Strength.

A student in one of our colleges was
charged by one of the faculty with having
barrel of ale deposited in his room, contrary
of course to the rules and usage. He received
a summons to appear before the President,
who said
"Sir, am informed that you have a barrel
of ale in your room
Eyes, sir"
"Well, what explanation can you make?"
"Wel, the fact is, sir, my physician advised
me to try q little ale each day as tonic, and
not wishing to stop at various places were
this beverage is retailed, concluded to have
barrel taken to my room"
"Indeed, and have you derived any benefit
from it?"
"Ah yes when the barrel was first taken
to my room, two weeks ago, could scarcely
lift it, now can carry it with ease"
We believe the witty student was dis
charged without reprimand AT least he
ought to have been.

Kindness to Stock.

Occasionally, we see domestic animals that
are as wild as foxes, and at the approach of
man manifest the greatest alarm. This is
usually caused by i'll treatment on the part of
some one in the past 1t is positive disadvant-
age to have animals treated unkindly it mat
tiers not whether they be horses, sheep, or
CATTLE the results are the same They will
not eat so WE'LL they are likely to be restless;
they will not grow rs fast as they should,
and there is constant loss from this wholly
unnecessary cause. Therefore, we say, treat
your animals with the greatest kindness, and
don't allow any one to strike, kick, or abuse
them. Your animals will always give you a
cordial welcome when they have no reason
for expecting abuse. Treat them kindly, and
they will reward you well for it by bringing
into your pockets more profits for their keep.

A Few Hints About Horses.

Give horses salt frequently.
Road horses should have their front feet
stuffed with flaxseed twice q week.
When light shoes are needed, particularly
hind Ones have them made of cast steel.
Don't hook your horse to the sleigh the
same as to your wagon, but give him more
trace.
Returning from an afternoon drive, let
your horse cool off before entering the stable.
Horses wearing boots should have them
loosened while under the shed Mt the road
house.
II your horse should pull on one line or
throw his head up and down and fight and
pull on the bit, have his mouth and teeth
examined.
The hand pieces of driving reins frequently
become smooth from use, causing the hands
to shift. In such cases rub the lines with
powdered rosin
Ifyou wish to drive your horse with an
open bride have him tried with one before
putting him to your top wagon, otherwise
he might get away from you.
When horses overreach lengthen the hind
shoes; when they hit the front of the hind
feet have the toe of the front shoe made mar
row and conceived on the inside.
Some horses, in trotting, in putting their
hind feet to the ground strike principally on
the toe. Such horses should have their heels
lowered, and should wear shoes without
heels.
Skunk cabbage is said to be good for heaves
in teaspoonful doses night and morning.
Moisten the hay and grain. Be careful with
the diet Never work heavy horse on
full stomach.
Steel bits should be kept in warm place
until they are placed in the horses mouth
Any person can realize the sensation of plac.
ing cold bit in a horses mouth by first
touching it with his own tongue.
An excellent remedy for mango Isl Oil of
turpentine one pint; add cautiously two
ounces of vitriol, stirring the mixture con-
stantly; then add eight ounces oflinseed oil
to be rubbed in with brush twice day.
Ifyour double team did not work to suit
you to-day, one crewding to the pole while
the other would pull his head to one side,
see that the reins are right, and in hooking
them to your wagon tomorrow, put the off
horse on the near side.
Tar is one of the most useful articles to be
kept about the stable. Internally use q tea
spoonful night and morning for chronic
coughs; externally it is particularly useful in
thrush and all diseases or wounds ofthe foot.
Mixed with fish oil it is one of the best rene.
dies for hard or brittle feet
When heels and toes are required on
horses shoes, instead ofhaving the shoe turn
eu GOWN lor neeIs nave the neelS ana toes
of cast steel and welded on The heels
should be put on half an inch from end of
shoe and placed endwise.
For a horse that pulls use the overcheck,
with strap attached over the nose and under
the lower jaw. For an extra hard mouthed
horse use four-ringed bit. Have a slide,loop
on the front of the over check, so that it can
be moved up and down, as may be required.
Then have the check piece and over check
attached to loose ring and the driving lines
alone to the large rings.

BEYOND THE STARS.

Ills easy to trace the soul to the hour
That deprives the form of its breath;
But who shall follow the spirits flight,
When it seeks the portal of death?
Who rend the vail that hides from our view
The future, beyond the bright stars2
Who follow the spirits upward flight,
When it breaks through our earthly bars ?
What-ah what is that future state?
And where. oh where is the goal
Which Christians say is the resting place,
And home of the deathless soul?
Is 1t beyond the dark blue sky
Beyond where the stars now shine;
Where the angels sing their song of praise
To the spirit of God divine?
Can life be the end of all our hopes?
is the struggle with death all o'er?
Or is there a life beyond the tomb
Where the soul lives evermore?
Does the soul exist when life has flown,
Or sink, like the corse, into night2
Let us rather believe the brilliant mind
Still continues its upward fight.
Let us think that the soul can never die
That its mission will never end;
That there is a land beyond the sky,
Where friend will still meet friend;
That, freed from the turmoil and ills of life
From its troubles, wounds and scars,
The soul will worship the God of Light
In His mansions beyond the stars!

TRYING TO GET USED TO IT.-Here is an
acc )unt of a drol incident related to me q
day or two since that has never been in print:
An old lady who had purchased new bon
net received it on Saturday. Not long after
she was missed and her absence was so pro-
tracted that the family became concerned
about her and instituted search. After
looking the premises all over her daughter
found her in the chamber sitting quietly with
the new bonnet on. The daughter exclaim.
ed "Why mother, what are you doing here ?"
"Go along down." the old lady replied; 81
am only getting used to this thing so that l
shall not be thinking about it all the time in
church tomorrow"

ing behind as nearly as possible to the vulva,
and reaching in front nearly to her navel, so
that as much milk may be obtained from
front quarters as from hind ones. Her milk
veins must also be sought for and examined

swelling, especially noticing that the holes
where the veins enter the body is so large
that you can easily push the top of your Sc
cond finger into them. She should also have
deep orange color inside her ears; the
deeper this color is, the richer her milk"
