Pearls of Thought

A republic is not founded on virtue
but On the ambition of lis citizens.
The earth with its Scared fac is
the symb, j of the past; the air and
heaven Of futuritv.
One man is no more than another
ONLY inasmuch as he does more than
another.
No soul is deSoate 50 long as there
is human being for whom it can feel
trust and reverence.
Each man is hero and an oracle to
somebody, and to that person whatever
he SAYS has an enhanced value.
Never fear to bring the sublimest
motive to the smallest duty, and the
most infinite comfort to the small ST
trouble.
Silence is the universal refuge, the
sequel to all dull discourses and all
foolish acts, balm to every chagrin,
as welcome after a safety as after dis
appointment; that background which
the painter may not daub, be he mas
ter or bungler, and which, however,
awkward figure We may have made
in the foreground, remains ever our
inviolabla asylum, where no indignity
can assail, no personality disturb us.

Live Stock Notes.

Cattle need special care this month.
Having been kept all winter on dry
food, they are apt to lose both flesh
and vigor. unless grain is given them.
This is particularly true Of cows that
are soon to calve Discretion must
be exercised in recruiting st such a
time, however If the COW is liberal
ly fed on grain just previous to partu-
rition, her udder may become feverish
and hard, thus obstructing the flow Of
milk; give oatmeal and shorts il any
thing After all feverish symptoms
have disappeared subsequent to portu-
rition. COWS may be more literally fed
on grain. When the flow Of milk is
fully established, corn meal and "a lit
tie cotton seed meal may be given in
connection with mangels. Calve.
should b. allowed to suck the dam for
three or four meals even though they
are to be raised by hand. Neals should
have milk direct from the COW until
they are five or six weeks old: they
will fatten on nothing else so rapidly.
The cars bestowed on sheep by some
farmers during the winter, invites
weakness. and troublesome irritation
Of the skin and loss of vol often fol-
low poor treatment. Raising lambs
for the spring market is profitable
business, but great care of both ewes
AMI lambs is necessary. The strength
and vitality Of the lamb after birth de-
pend largely on the condition of the
eve previous to parturition. Much in
Jury is done to the unborn lambs by
compelling the ewes to go without
water. Licking the snow to quench
thirst chilIs the fntus and weakens the
lamb, even if more serious results do
not follow. The feeding of cold or
frozen turnips to ewes has similar
effect upon them. Among the various
Affections Of sheep during winter and
spring, is nasal catarrh. causing an
excessive discharge at the nose. 1t is
the immediate result Of taking cold,
and not serious dsease'as long as the
lungs are free. Stir the drinking wa

and if necessary rub little tar on the
Sleeps nose so that it may be licked
off, 1t is sufficient to give salt once
y week. Be on the lookout for ticks.

Farm Notes for April.

factory.
Narrowing winter grain is a prac
tice that is now quite generally adopt
ed BY the better farmers. This should
be done with implements that have
the teeth turned backward. Peruvian
guano, bone dnst, wood ashes. or other
fertilizer may be applied before the
narrowing.
Spring wheat should be sown as
soon as the ground can be properly
prepared. A top dressing of manure
may be added after sowing. The good
effect Of soluble fertilizer can some
times be seen in a few hours. especial
ly if the application is soon followed
BY gentle shower that takes the sub
stance down to the roots. ANY start
given to young plants is felt for good
throughout their whole life In using
any concentrated fertilizer care must
be taken that it does not come in con-
tact with seeds. If scattered thorough
ly and thinlv on the surface after SOW
ing there is no danger. otherwise it
should b. mixed With the soil.
There should be ample provision Of
food for farm animals during the sum-
mer months. when the pastures are
short from drouth. A eatv sort Of
oats may be sown with peas and thus
obtain double crop of green fodder
