THE HOME CIRCLE and FARM.
Tho Model Woman.

Charles Dickens. She only is true
and noble wife for whose ambition a
husbands love and her children's ado
ration are sufficient, who applies her mil
itary instincts to the discipline of her
household and whose Legislatures exer-
else themselves in making laws for her
nurse, whose intellect has field enough
for her i'll communion with her hu1
band, and whose heart asks no othef
honors than his love and admiration !;
woman who does think it weakness
to attend to her toilet, and who does not
disdain to he beautiful, who believes in
the virtue of glossy hair and we'll fitting
gowns, and who eschews rents and
raveled edges, slipshod shoes and auda-
cious make-ups; woman who speaks
low, and does not speak much; who is
patient, and gentle, and intellectual
and Industrious; who loves more than
she reasons, and yet does not love
blindly; who never scolds and never
argues but adjusts with smile; such
woman is the wife we have all dreamed
of once in our lives, and is the mother
we still worship in the backward dis
tance of the past.

The Horses Lungs.

The horse derives his power of en-.
durance from an increased interior lung
surface. No matter how great his stat
ure, or how heavy his muscle, if he is
deficient in lung power, he will be like
locomotive having very large and very
heavy driving wheels, surmounted with
disproportionately small boiler; the
wheels and shaft sufficient for train OF
thirty loaded cars, while steam for NOV
ing half that number is all the boiler
can generate. A horse of ten hundred,
having full lung dey elopment, and with
al we'll muscled, will move given load
q greater distance in specified
time than a horse with a fifth
more size, but having scant lung
surface. Bulk and heavy muscles, out
of proportion to the lung cap acity,
is direct detriment. The horse
does not get his refrigeration, as is
commonly supposed, directly and at
once from the air he breathes, but, on
the other hand, the renewal of vigor
comes through the rapid change
wrought upon the blood by it's contact
with the air in the delicate lung tissue.
The air, as such, gives no tone or i'm
petus to the muscles through the act of
breathing, but forty times in minute
the heart sends the venous blood, de-
prived of its valuable properties by
reason of having left these remote
tissues, muscular and otherwise, where
needed, to the lungs, instantly as it
were, it is aerated, goes back to the
heart, and again forty times minute,
in the horse, and nearly twice that
frequently in the human subject, the
heart sends the oxygenated blood to
the brain, muscles and all other tissues;
and it is upon its reaching its destina-
tion that the horse receives the benefit
of the lung capacity he possesses, and
not before.-National Live Stock Jour.

Feeding Salt.

The Western Rural says, in answer
ing correspondent who asks if COWS
need salt, and if they should be fed
enough to create great THIRST, that all
animals need salt; that they will not
take more than is good for them, un-
less it be mixed with their food so that
they must take it in order to get the
food. Their system contains salt, and
needs more than food usually contains.
Hence the necessity of supplying it di-
rectly. But we do not think that
feeding it to an extent that it would
create thirst would be advisable. Salt
is poison and when taken in large
quantities acts as such. Besides this,
If the animal is in constant state of
thirst it is an unnatural condition, and,
probably state of fever. If admins
tered in such quantities and in such
a way as to cause thirst, the purpose
would be to increase the flow Of milk.
But we do not believe that anything
valuable could be accomplished by pur-
suing such course. Doubtless if the
COW would be made to drink large
quantity of water, she would yield an
increased quantity of milk, but it
would be overtaxing her and the milk
would not be as good. It may be as
sumed that nature has made each in
dividual COW so that she will maintain
a correct balance between her food and
her drink; and it would be just
as reasonable to force addition
al food down her throat after
she had eaten enough as it would be to
force additional water down her throat
after she had drank enough. Water is
a very important feature in caring for
dairy COWS. The COW ought to have all
the water that she naturally needs, and
it should be just as pure as the water
we drink ourselves; but we do not be-
lieve that any process of forcing her to
drink should be adopted. Too much
weakens digestion in any animal. We
may very soon learn what the effect up
on digestion is if we will contract the
habit of drinking large quantities of
water ourselves.

A Chicago paper says it is not a
new thing in the United States, and in
the border states especially, that the
production of wheat does not pay ex-
penses Many can recollect when it
required two bushels of corn raised in
Ohio to pay the postage on a let
ter from Boston to the "Western re-
serve" J" or northern Ohio. And many
now will remember when corn in Ili-
nois was dull of sale at ten cents a
bushel, and dressed turkeys were Offer
ed at the doors of citizens for twenty
five cents. Yet even in those days
there was no over production except in
places where distant markets could not
be reached. Nearly every year we have
accounts of famine in some parts of the
world. Just now the depression in wheat
which has generally been regarded as a
standard commodity, and has heretofore
maintained something analogous to a
standard price, appears to have carried
down the prices of nearly all the staple
commodities. For instance, the price
of the whole range of metals is very
much depressed; viz, iron, steel, lead,
copper and the manufactured product
of these staples. Iron and steel rails
are cheap, lead and iron pipe are cheap.
The bushel Of wheat goes about as far
in the purchase of these articles as it
did two years ago. Moreover, the
prices for the whole range of domestic
fabrics have been greatly reduced. It
is worthy of note that more and more
as the price of wheat has been reduced.
reduction has followed in nearly the
whole list of what are called staple arti.
cles. The price of wheat seems to have
q governing influence as to the price of
great many leading articles; at least
the association is close enough for such
an inference.

When Should a Cow 90 Dry.

From the Dairy.
There is such thing as burning q
candle at both ends. One may easily
do this in the dairy, and, while the
"good, easy man" thinks heis making a
good deal of light at the same cost, sud-
denly his candle may go out. This kind
OF thing may go on when one milks the
COWS up to the time of calving or
near it, and even encourages it by
feeding it for that end. But then it
may not. And 1t is the dairyman's
business to know all about it and
not take any general rule for
his guide. There is no rule without a
multitude of exceptions, and these are
as numerous as times. places and cir
cumstances; and, as circumstances alter
cases, SO the reply to the question we
have put above depends upon circum-
stances. There are COWS that will moi
60 dry, but will milk from calf to calf.
