Hardly Fair.

Our British brothers are very serious
minded people, not at all on the lookout,
as it seems they should be, for the wicked
American joker. Some time ago the
present chemist of our department of ag-
riculture (the choice, amongst all Amer
lean men Of science, made by the hand.
some DR.. Loring to put an end to Pro-
lessor Golfers id nonsense " in rela-
ton to sorghum sugar. wrote and printed
what appeared to be serious account Of
the manufacture of artificial honsy-comb
and the filling of it with glucose. This took
in Americans as we'll as foreigners quite
generally, we believe, although Dr..
Wiley claims that it was only meant for
id nonsense" More recently the De.
troit Free Press. one of the leading jour-
nalistic jokists of the country, published
detailed account of the manufacture of
artificial eggs. We don't think this
fooled anybody on the American CONT
nent, but the London Farmer copies it as
a piece of serious information and an il.
lustration of Yankee ingenuity (Which it
is). Even the concluding lines, in which
it is said that "the most assiduous hen
has as yet failed to produce chicks from
these wonderfully constructed eggs, seems
not to have awakened any suspicion in
the mind of our serious transatlantic con-
temporary.

AT THE GRAVE OF CHARLES WOLFE.

Where the graves are many we looked for one.
Oh. the Irish rose was red,
And the dark stones saddened the setting sun
with the names Of the carly dead.
Then child who, somehow, had heard Of him
In the land We love 90 well,
Kept lifting the grass till the dew was dim
In the churchyard Of Clonmei.
The sexton came "Can you tell us where
Charles Wolfe is buried ?" at can.
See, that is his grave in the corner there.

(Then the gray man tore vine from the wall
or the roofess church where he lay,
And the leaves that the whitening year Let fall
He swept with the ivy away;
And, as we read on the rock the words
That, writ In the moss we found,
Right over his bosom shower Of birds
In music fell to the sreund.)
Young Poet, wonder did you care,

To hear that child In his golden hair

times scold For two reasons, as it

gentleness alone can never safely steer the
family bark over life's troublous sea.
Force, firmness. decision, stern ness, even
severity, are often necessary. A suitable
degree of these is not incompatible with
gentleness. 1t is not synonym for
weakness. The gentleness that makes

Farm Mortgages In Maine.

One OF the newspapers in Maine having
stated that the amount of farm mortgages
was increasing, and the farmers running
behind, the agricultural papers have in
stituted an examination to test the truth
OF the statement. This is much more
easily done in Maine than in Vermont,
because the records of real estate trans.
actions are not made there, as here, in the
town clerks Office, but in that of the
county clerk. The result of the inquiry
is given as follows:

What Constitutes the STATED

In the introduction to his little volume,
Professor Sumner remarks: "During the
last ten years have read a great many
books and articles, especially by German
writer's, in which an attempt has been
made to set up the state as an entity,
having conscience, power, and will
sublimated above human limitations,
and as constituting tutelary genius over
us all. have never been able 10 find

claimed the dame. When the farmers
"presume to think for themselves in
political matters, and cease to allow them
selves to be led to the polls in flocks "for
the good of the party" without asking
any questions, either before or after cleo
ton, agricultural interests may have some
attention from our lawmakers.

PEACH MELANGE.

The peach harvest has been such an,
abundant one there has been no difficulty
in preserving as much as one wanted Of
this delicious fruit. Pour one pint of
boiling milk over three-quarters of a
pound of bread-crumbs, add half cup
of sugar, large tablespoonful of butter,
and three well-beaten eggs favor with
twenty drops of essence of bitter almonds.
In the bottom of buttered mold put
one pint of peach jam and pour in the
mixture just made; cover the mold with
a plate, and steam for two hours. In the
manuscript cookery book before me this
recipe is marked emphatic ally. Very good
and this is verdict from which no one
will dissent who has tasted peach me-

COCOANUT CUsTARD.

To make cocoanut custard take one
quart of milk, half cup of sugar, and
let it come to a boil beat five eggs
slightly; eggs for custard should never BE-
beaten separately, as the froth made by
the whites prevents one from seeing when
the custard is properly thickensd, and it
is very apt to curdle from not being taken
off the fire in time. Pour little of the
boiling milk on the eggs and mix them
together by degrees, add teacupful of
dessicated cocoanut, and stir until the
custard thickens. Serve cold in custard
cups or altogether in pretty crystal dish
A meringue made of the white of one egg
beaten with one tablespoonful of powered
sugar and one of cocoanut can be placed
on top, If desired.

land a more delicate one than orange pie.

juice of an orange and lemon, and the
grated peel of both. Line dish with
puff paste, put in the mixture, and bake

Warmth and Pure Air

Warmth and Pure Air for Stock.
The recent cold weather gives stock excel
lent appetites and shows conclusively the
importance of providing for them comforta-
Bile winter quarters. The loss from unnec-
essary exposure of stock in Western lati-
tudes amounts to millions of dollars in this
country every winter, and the Importance of
the question of shelter for stock needs to be
advocated. There is usually much less ex-
posure of horses than of cattle, and the
former are better enabled to bear the inclem-
ency of the weather if accustomed to it.
Gait are naturally sensitive to cold, and
while with an abundance of hearty food be-
fore them they are capable of enduring much
severe weather, yet economy requires that
due attention be given to the subject, and
suitable means for shelter and comfort pro-
vided. Many farmers allow their stock to
be unnecess irily exposed in winter from
mere carelessn-ss and ignorance of the laws
pertaining to the health and comfort of all
animals. They need to be reminded that
the heat in all warm blooded animals re-
quires to be Kept at nearly the same temper
ature, and that when the weather becomes
cold or stormy, as in winter, some provision
must be made to keep up the animal heat to
nearly its normal degree. This may usually
be accomplished by feeding the animals
heavily of strong concentrated food, but it
can be done much cheaper by providing
suitable protection against the cutting winds
and pelting storms. Fresh air is the vital
element OF health, and on the hills of our
dairy counties the supply from November to
May is ordinarily ample for all demands; it
is. up to the present writing, not controlled
by any combinations, or likely TO be locked
up by ring, but in many and many stable
land house as well) it is as carefully econo-
mixed as if there was risk Of using it all
up, with no chance of getting any more A
cow cannot give wholesome milk without
pure air as well as pure water, but thous-
ands get little of either on rms where free
winds blow, and springs bubble, simply be-
cause no thought is given to ventilation,
and it is easier to let the herd drink from a
yard pool than to conduct water to them.-

Food for Fattenine sheen,

The most economical and appropriate
combination of food will depend upon the
cost of different foods in the locality. Near
ly all the grains raised are healthy for sheep,
unground, except mllet, and this is not
economical, and probably not healthy fed
unground, because of its small size and hard
husk, it is not masticated and is not digest
ed, but mostly passes through the animal
whole. Millet should be ground before feed
ing.
rive. oats. barley, buckwheat, peas, beans
Indian corn,-uneat, bran, shorts or mid
ditDgs, and oil meal, are each and all good
food for fattening sheep-but sheep should
not be fattened upon single food, as they
are fond of variety, and will gain faster
when allowed to have it. Sheep are SO fond
of succulent food, that they will pick over
large fields, in open winter, trying to find it.
They suffer when kept wholly, on dry food
for several months, and, for this reason, the
last food mentioned, oil meal, should be pro-
vided in small quantity for them.
The feeder cannot err in giving too great
variety in the food of sheepr The best
ration we have ever known fed to fattening
sheep, was composed of equal parts, by
weight, of oats, corn, peas, and milet, and
to fifteen bushels of the mixture was added
one bushel of f1axseed, and all ground fine
together. Each sheep was fed two pounds
of this ground mixture WITH hay, and made
regular gans of three pounds each per
week, besides growing an unusually fine
staple of wool. This small amount of fax
seed. is peculiarly soothing to the digestive
organs. 1t is perfect preventative of all
diseases caused by dry fodder.-National
