Persons of Importance.

Chicago Eye.
Talk about persons of Importance,
will you? There's no one equal to the
family baby. Never king, Or ems
peror, or empress, or president with his
power. He knows it, too, before his
tiny feet can patter over the floor. He
is as sure of it as if he knew every lan>
guarge spoken, instead of none.
When he awakes in the morning,
another sun rises. When he is carried
away for the night he must kiss every.
one, and everyone rejoices in his kisses.
His eating and drinking, his walking
and pantomime, are subjects for im>
portant bulletins every day. All, how
strange it is that this important being
must some day be let down to the po-
stion Of an ordinary boy, expected to
eat what Is set before him, and do as
he is told--perhaps to go into some.
body's Office and be snubbed; that he
should come after awhile to be a man,
and find no one very anxious as to his
kisses-nay, to have one refused him
occasionally Yet it's true. If he
lives, he will slide slowly down to the
ordinary level.
He'll be "Our Baby" no more, but
only common human being, with
faults in plenty; and even if he should
stand at the top Of the social ladder,
be great soldier, a renowned states
man, genius-no matter what, he'll
never be what he is nova faultless
creature, whose will is law to every
body, who has not an enemy in the
world, and lots of lovers.

Apples for Mich Cows.

1t has doubtless been the prevalent
opinion that apples are not good to
feed to mich COWS. On this subject a
writer in the National Live Stock
Journal, says that they are just as good
for cows as for pigs; but cows cannot,
like pigs, be permitted to help them
selves without stint. They must be
dealt out to them, according to the
judgement of the breeder ga half
bushel per COW daily, in two feeds,
could be used with advantage. The
writer once fed SO cows running to
pasture, each per day, peck of com,
mon apples, for 40 days, and the daily
milk and cheese record of the season
showed production Of 43O pounds of
cured cheese, due to feeding the ap>
pies, equal to II ounces of cheese from
each buShel of apples, which was worth,
as dairy cheese is now, ten cents a
pound. The whey from the increase
Of milk to make that amount of cheese,
reckoned at rs cents per 1000 pounds,
was worth $3.50, making the total
product from 405 bushels of apples
fed, $3.50, equal to III cents per
bushel. 1t cost less trouble to feed the
apples to the COWS than to deliver
them at cider.mill, though one was

quite as valuable for butter as for cheese

they will not agree with the above
views.

Unmarried couple, the bride appearing

being dapper little chap year or

and after few minutes she heard the

the least resentment in her counter
ance, she turned round in her seat and
said: Madam, will you have your
son close the window behind YOU"
The "son" closed his mouth instead,

Cheerfulness.

Spirit of the Farm.
IT people generally knew what an
advantage to them it was to be cheer
full, there would be fewer sour faces in
the world and infinitely less i'll temper.
A man never gains anything by ex-
hibiting his annoyance by his face,
much less by bursting into passion.
As it is neither manly nor wise to yield
like a child pettishly to every cross, SO
it is alike foolish and absurd to allow
feelings of anger to deprive us Of self
control There never was man in
any controversy who lost his temper
who did not come near losing his case
in consequence. If ever person
plays the game of his enemies, it is
when he is in passion. Acquaintance
shun men of proverbial ill>temper,
friends drop away from them; even
wives and children gradually learn to
fear more than to love. Thousands of
men owe their want of success in life
to neglecting the control of their tenn.
per. Good temper is Colds beyond
price. Bad temper is curse to the
possessor and society.

Early Maturity.

Farmers Review.
What age is best for beef? The in
crease in our exports of live cattle du-
ring the last few years has called the
attention of the American farmer to
the profitable age of beef. 1t is evil
dent that the greater value we can con-
centrate into a large animal within a
given time the greater will be our pro-
fit. The United States far exceeds
Great Britain and Europe in the
amount of meat consumed per capita,
and an increase Of sales can be reason
ably expected when the best quality is
offered them. The English farmers
understand that their home-production
of meat is not sufficient to supply the
demand. There is room for their own
and all we can send. 1t has been
claimed that early maturity offers the
only safe system of profitable beofspro~
duction. In those countries where the
first study is to furnish food for the
greatest number of animals little mat
tiers will be studied that entirely es.
cape the attention Of feeders in our
country, where there is such an abun-
dance of space and food. But the
generous production of new soil cans
not always last, unless the soil is COM
pensated for the crops taken from it.
The British feeders have for years
favored the early maturity of cattle for
market, and are fast exploding the old
idea that four.year-old beef is necessa-
rily superior to that from a younger
animal. The first compromise in Eng
land was on three-year>old beef, it be-
ing feared at one time. however, that
cutting off one year would reduce the
quality; but, on the contrary, it prov
ed entirely satisfactory to both butch
ers and consumers, and it was at length
discovered that thirty months were
sufficient to produce excellent quality,
with but very little falling off in weight
By thus shortening the market age it
was found that large percentage was
added to the profit, and the best feed
ers finally succeeded in maturing the
steers in twenty-four months, realizing
about the same prices they had obtain
ed for the thirty>six>months' beef. But
we shall have still more wonderful
statements in regard to 'calfy meat"
which is procured from steers and heif-
ers at from eleven to twenty months
old. Mr.. Z. w. Stewart, in his work
on Feeding Animals" tells US OF an
animal killed by MIR. Paget, of Eng
land which was only one hundred weeks
old, dressed 1872 stone, which would
be equivalent |, 760 pounds live weight.
Some sixteen months steers dressed,
in the quarters, 600 pounds, and pos
sessed 100 pounds of rough fat.

Mixed Farming.

In the recent discussion which has
taken place in the Country Gentleman,
on "Mixed Husbandry," there are two
important points which have hardly
been sufficiently presented, namely, an
arrangement of different crops which
shall distribute the farm labor equally
through the season; and sufficient
number of animals to consume what is
not sold, and to pay for itin manure to
keep the land rich. To explain more
fully-if the land is all put under wheat
for instance, there will be little to do
in spring and early summer, but vast
amount of heavy work when the wheat
is ripe, to harvest it, requiring high
priced and extra hands all at once. If
the main crop is potatoes, there will be
vacant periods for work at one time,
and crowd of labor at another. The
skillful manager will so arrange his
crops as to give uniform and regular
labor to men who are hired for the sea.
son. The man who raises wheat and
nothing else, will soon run his land
down, unless he can buy plenty of MAJ
nure. He must have animals to work
in with tillage crops. The following
may be the succession Of work through
the season First, and early in spring,
blowing and preparing land for oats,
barley and potatoes, but not so much
of these that he cannot do the work
well, and get through in good time
after making allowance for Interrupt

wheat cutting corn fodder and corn
securing the main crop of potatoes
husking corn; drawing out and spread
ing manure for spring crops, and clos
ing up various jobs for winter. The
care of the animals must be worked in
between all these operations; and
proper and careful attention to the or
chard and kitchen garden, gathering
apples, and marketing the surplus, if
any.
No good farmer can omit sheep;
they are the best servants in the old
and bearing apple orchard, to pick up
the wormy and dropping fruit, and
their manure goes far in paying for
them. Pigs consume grain and refuse
matter, a part of which could not be
disposed of proftably in any other way,
and properly managed are quite profit
able. Cattle make good market for
the corn fodder, and with skill and
