FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.


Those farmers who have not yet
adopted the ensilage system of pre-.
serving green food for winter use, and
who use roots instead. an agricultural
paper SAYS, should bear in mind the
claims of parsnips as acattle feed. 1t
is one of tie most nutritious of roots,
and can be grown without more trou-
bic than carrots. We have never had
mich cows increase in milk or butter
productions much faster upon any
extra feed than when peck of pars-
nips was added daily To their rate rs
of hay and grain. Parsnips may be
sown any time in May if the ground
is fitted, as it always should be for
root crops by being deeply plowed, well
MANFRED and finely pulyerized. They
should be sown in drills about four
teen TO eighteen inches apart.
and the seed covered about half
an inch deep. When two or three
inches high, thin to six inches apart
and keep well hoed. Do not harvest
in the fall, but allow them to remain
in the ground until the spring, and
when the beets, mangels, turnips,
small potatoes and the like are all con-
sumed, and the spring appetite of
the animal begins to crave the green
grass which has not started, then dig
your parsnips and feed them out. One
great advantage of the paranip is thai
it will winter perfectly well in the
ground, and will be in its best condi-
sion at a season of the year when the
animal most needs roots, and when
other varieties have either decayed or
lost much of their value as feed, ii in
deed you have been able to keep them

A few years since farmer in a
neighboring town was making hay in
a field on hot July day. The sun was
shining brightly. The ground was hot
and dry. Not cloud was TO be seen
in the sky, and no rain ha fallen for
days together. AS the faraer was
turning his hay a flash of lightning
killed I'm in family, and it was said
that the electricity came from the
ground rather than the sky. The
large poplar tree that formerly stood
in front IF the Bel len place, corner of
Main and Belden streets, was struck
by lightning dozen times in its day.
1t was SCARED on every side. The last
bolt rived its body TO the heart and
killed the tree Engineer Palmer,
who was then survey ng for the Val
ley railroad came up to see it. That
bolt came from the groun ; said he.
"We know by the way the spl nterS
hang" One of the main roots was
fra ture Tor a long distance. and the
engineer said the bolt of lightning
might have followed rill OF water
from the "a lro;,d, thirty rods from
the tree, then touching root (some of
the roots had been traced over fifteen
rJds), followed up its trunk. He said
about half of the strokes of lightning
that shivered trees came from the
ground. He did not think the bolts
first came from the sky. but possibly
they did.-HarJord Conn., Times.

WISE WORDS.

The best lessons in life are learned
from silence.
1t is more noble by silence to avoid
an injury than by argument to over
come it.
Loves sweetest meanings are IN
spoken the full heart knows no
rhetoric of words.
1T is not enough to have reason; it
is spoilt, it is dishonored by sustaining
brusque and naughty manner.
True politeness consists in being
easy ones self, and in making every
body about one as easy as one can.
To listen kindly is often an act of
the most delicate interior modification,
and helps US very much to speak kindly
ourselves.
Whatsoever that be within us that
feels, thinks, Tres and animates, is
something celestial, divine and con-
se4uentiy imperishable.
Sincerity does not consist in speak
ing your mini on all occasions. but IN
doing it when silence would be Cen~
surab!e and inexchsable.
The truly sound a2d strong mind IS
the mind that can embrace equally
great things and small. | would have
a man great in great things and ele-
CANT in little things.
The scar which an unkind word
leaves upon great love may be in
visible, like that of great sin upon the
tissues of the repentant soul; but, for
one as for the other, life has no heal
ing.
A gracious word. oppor ,unely ut
tered, is no trihe in the matter of hap
piness; nor kindly smile added to a
sugge ton, a slight uAeasiness spared
another, nor even an extra at of po-
likeness

falling pastures and the transition
from green to dry feed, and great
falling off of milk is unavoidable.
One of the bsst machines for spread
ing manure is an ea,ily made device
on which we learn there Is no patent.
The device is similar in many respects
to a two-horse cart, with a row of
Stats extending across the bottom,
bolted together upon the principle OF
an endless chain. The cart is loaded
ut the manure pile and drawn to the
field. which being reached the gears
are brought together and the motion
of the large wheels sets the bottom
moving backward, allowing the
manure to be evenly distributed as the
vehicle moves over the land. There is
no question as to the value of this
device rs a labor-saying Implement
