Home After Business Hours.

The road along which the man of
business travels is not a macadamiZed
one, nor does it ordinarily lead through
pleasant scenes and by well-springs OF
delight. Gu the contrary, it is u rough
and rugged path, beset with ''wait.a-
pit'' thorns, and full of pitfalls, which
can only be avoided by the watchful
care of circumspection. After every
days journey over this worse than
rough turnpike road, the wayfarer needs
something more than rest; he requires
solace; and he deserves it. Heis weary
of the dull prose OF life, and athirst for
the poetry. Happy is the husband
who can find that solace and that
poetry at home. Warm greetings from
loving hearts, fond glances from bright
eyes, the welcome shouts of children,
the many thousand little arrangements
Tor our comfort and enjoyment that 81
lently tell Of thoughtful and expectant
love, the gentle illustrations that dis
cucumber us into an old and easy seat
before we are aware OF it; THESE and
ike tokens OF affection and sympathy
constitute the poetry which reconciles
US to the prose OF life.
Think Of this, we wives and daughters
of business men Think Of the tolls,
the anNieties, the notifications and
wear that fathers undergo to secure for
you comfortable homes; and then COM
pensate them for their trials by making
them happy by their own tiresides.-

Shade for the Cows.

It is SO mighty easy to talk and say
nothing that the press is filled with mat
ter that is as empty as the wind. The
Rural and Stockmam' has frequently
urged the necessity for shade in the
pastures, ard has endeavored to point
out the probable results of exposing
cattle all day to the broiling rays of the
SUN. An Eastern contemporary flies to
the defense Of the cruel practice of
roasting COWS in the heat of the sun,
and attempts to prove that it is right.
by citing the fact that our boys are
compelled to work in the sun all day,
and thinks that they are as good as the
cows. Now we submit that that proves
= vast deal! It is notpleasant or highly
desirable experience for boy Or nan to
be exposed to the suns rays for hours
together when the thermometer israng-
ing among the nineties. 1t would be a
great deal better and safer if neither
was thus exposed. But work on the
farm often re uires it, and we are COM
PEELED to submit to the discomfort and
the danger. 1t is a sort Of cruelty that
necessity imposes. But because men
necessarily suffer is it any reason why
we should compel a brute to unneces-
sarily suffer-: If a boy of our house
hold had the CHAMBERS, we should take
care of him, though we should run
some risk in doing SC. But
would that be any reason for taking
the boy to the stables that the horses
might probably become infected? Men
are compelled to suffer many hardshlps
that they would not like to intlict upon
their stock. 1t is argued by this paper
that the cow with the privileges of
shade gets lazy. Then the burning
| sunbeams must be regarded in the light
of a lash. The creature is SO very IN
comfortable that she eats grass in sheer
desperation. Very well. if discomfort
in the field causes her to eat more and
produce more, why would not discom-
fort in the stable have q similar result?
According to this doctrine all the talk
that we have been hearing for years
about making the COW Comfortable
treating hor like a ~lady-being gentle
with her. etc., has been nonsense.
There is nothing that will worry a man
or brute more than exposure to very hot
sun. The bl1od becomes heated to q
boiling point. The sun does in this re-
spect precisely what the dog. chasing
the COW q long distance, will 30. It
heats her blood. Is that h%ealthful? Is
her blood what we want? If it is we
have all been cropping u way in the
dark for a long time. It will not an
swer. The COW needs to be made COM
Portable, and if she is comfortable, even
if she does not give quite so much milk,
she will give better milk; and we have
no right to torture her even if she gives
no milk. The idea conveyed by the
statement that she will get lazy if she
has shade is simply a monstrous one.
1t means that for it's little gain we have
the right to make the animal uncom-
Portable. Societies for the prevention
of cruelty to animals are organized to
prevent Just such ideas as that from be.

Egg.D Destroying Hens.

There is probably nothing more an
moving and more difficult to overcome
than a habit a great mahy hens have
of eating eggs. While there is no way
of curing hens from eating eggs, to
prevent them by mechanical means is
very easy. A nest with double bot
tom, the upper n inclined so Is to al
low the org to roll to the lower one,
answers very well; but the habit is one
that is always acquired, and therefore a
lasting one. Hens learn it by being in
the presence OF broken eggs, but they
rarely break eggs themselves until SO
taught. If the nests are so arranged
as to keep the eggs out Of their reach
they will forget the habit, if fed liber-
ally with meat for q while, but the
safest plan is to cut Oft the heads of
such fowls before the habit becomes
general with the tlock.-N. Y. Herald.
