JOHNSON AS A SCHOLAR.
Did he ever become anything OF a
scholsr?'
Ne. H WAS good speaker, but he
was very ungrammatical. He was a
man of force and ideas, but he could not
write speech. While he was in the
White House he did not write his own
messages. You know Jere Black testi-
ned to having written some parts of
certain messages while on the witness
stand. Many of his speeches were writ
ten by Judge Nilligan, who was his in
innate friend through life. He and
johnson came from the same town.
They were elected to the Legislature at
the same time, and they remained
friends throughout life. Milligan often
disagreed with johnson as to public

She takes much after her father, has a

woman of great intellectual force. She

Johnson's first love. The President fell

years before this, while he was a jour

in love with the daughter of small
planter. His love was returned, but the
girls father, who had n few acres Of
land and couple Of negroes, would not
consent to his daughter marrying tai

repulsed.'

Feeding Cows and Horses.

The old practice Of feeding cows every
three hours, giving the last feed Just before
retiring at night, has been very generally
abandoned. Now the most successful farm.
ers feed only morning and night. The
whole morning or evening feed is no, put
before them al one time. because experience
has taught that il is best to put before a
COW small quantity al one time. adding
more AS soon as it is eaten up, so that the
morning and evening meals are made up of
several small feeds. perhaps Of different ma
terials.
Some farmers who have tried this method
OF feeding cows and find il better than the
old way. without considering the fact that the
horse and COW are entirely different in their
physical structure, decide TO feed their hors
es IN the sane way; but this is wrong, for
the horse has not an extra stomach to store
up food to masticate at leisure, but he has
only small stomach where the food is rap-
IDLY formed into material TO nourish the
system When fed but twice day and fed
large quantities of hay the coarse food is
pushed beyond tle position where it can be
digested and is thus passed off with but lit
tie OF its nutriment extracted II is evident
that horses and pigs should be fed oftener
than cows and oxen. Massachusetts, Plor-

Clean Sta bles

There is possibly no more repu,iye sight
than dirty constable, and one in which
dairy cattle are housed is especially Often
sve. 1t has been demonstrated that cows
neglected in this respect fail to yield per
feet flow OF milk, and il is reasonable 10
suppose that such is the case. The richest
Of food may be given to them, but if their
condition in the stall is neglected they will
not thrive. The foul odor Of filthy stable
must necessarily permeate not only the ami
mails hide, but it has been proven that the
mea, Of stall-fei steers, fattened under these
circumstances IS unwholesome; moreover,
the milk, even during the period of milking,
is liable TO absorb the filthy emanations
from such stables and TO become absolutely
poisonous. Ii would seem, therefore, rea-
sonable that owners and dealers in cattle
and milk should appreciate the importance
Of cleanliness and its relation 10 health,
even as a source Of profit. The Sanitarian.

Parsnips for Animals.

When mixed with hay and other dry feed,

the feeding being commenced gradually as
with roots generally. They possess an i'm
portant advantage over other roots in that
the crop NAV be safely left in the ground all
winter, as freezing does not injure them
when they thaw out IN the ground, and thus
the labor Of late autumn harvesting is avoid
ed. They are easily dug in spring by plow-
ing fnrrow close TO the row and away from
it, and pulling them out By hand-a few
bushels being taken out al time as needed.
A quarter of an acre yielded 100 bushels
last year on our grounds. or 400 bushels per
acre. notwithstanding the extraordinary
drought As the tops start to grow in the
spring they are rapidly cut of with sharp
hoes, and thus the roots are kept for feeding
for several weeks.-Country Gentleman.

Headwork in Housekeeping.

A great mathematician once said, if he
had but three minutes in which to solve
problem on which his life depended, he
would spend two of the minutes in thinking
how best to do it; so greatly did he value
the art of rejecting we'll over the business
to be done even In the greatest emergencies
our work in this world by more fcrethought?
How much our heads could save our feet in
our daily housework One reason so many
women are such efficient workers is Just
because of this fixed habit. While the
other work is going on, the busy mind runs
through and plans out the sewing work that
is to be taken when leisure time comes.
1t makes all work easier 10 have it planned
beforehand, and many a weary woman
might secure many bright half hours 10 her
self every week if she would but inaugurate
the system. 1t is like packing a trunk
you know how easy il is for one skilled in
the business 10 put in third more than one
who plies things lust as it happens" 1t is
always such pleasure 10 look back on a
we'll passed day and see just what has been
done. People whose days are full Of idleness
and ease Do not have the monopoly Of hap
piness. BY any means.
From what have seen OF both sides, over
worked people do not seem to me to be so
miserable as those who have nothing to do.
They have, at least, the noble compensation
Of feeling that they are Of some use in the
world; that the, add largely 10 the comfort
and well being Of others, and that the, be-
long to the producers instead Of the CON
sumers. To one who has led busy life
absolute idlene.> would be most irksome
penance. But headwork will tighten labor

about you. If housekeepers would preserve
their health, &c, them save time by head
work.-rotaye Hearth.
