Hints for the Hay-Fleld.

A few short and pthy rules for making

watch the grass closely and cut before the
seed is formed-ju Just when the blossom j.

falls upon it rake j; up and put it IN cocks
holding about three hundred pounds each
If rain threatens cover the cocks safely
with hay caps. Take in no hay until all has
been cut and cooked. The hay will cure
IN the best manner in the cock, and il may
STAY a week without harm, if covered with
the caps. When ready for the barn, uucoy-
er the cocks and throw them over and open
them. Have one person doing this, while
the others are loading and drawing in DO
not stack il, but place il under a tight roof if

cover only what can be drawn in in one day.
As soon az the field is clear, give it a top

ger; but do not turn the COWS upon tit

nelghbor. This last rule applies TO the next
years crop. but it is rightly placed here, be-
cause next YEAR would he too late 20 use il.
1t is of the greatest Importance, and should
by no means be omitted. Finally. gather
the hay caps together; dry them if necessary;
lay them evenly one upon another roll them
up; bind them in the roll. and store them in
dr., place where no mice can gnaw holes
in them. 1t would be an excellent thing TO
steep them in solution of alum and sugar

Heifers From The Best Mixers.

A large majority Of dairymen have cows
in their herds that do not pay their keep
ing and as they do not apply test to the in
dividual cows, they continue not only to
keep them, but to breed from them. This
is the most suicidal policy. Although we
strongly recommend dairymen to raise
their own cows. we are far from advising
them to perpetuate their poor cows. Il,
would be even better policy 10 give them
away TO a favorits brother-n- law. The
heifer calves from only the best cows should

A group of men were discussing

Anniversary Poem. n

Rejoice, be glad light divine
In these rooms seem to see,
As when Jesus made the water wine
In Cana of Galilee.
That wedding service, how sweet and grand,
Where he was the honored guest;
And every union Of hand with hand
BY his presence may be blest.
We may feel 1t here, with conscious pride,
And Joy that smiles through tears,
As we honor a love which has been tried
Through half hundred years.
Obeautiful years of shadow and sun,
Since youths radiant roseate glow
First frightened the path but inst begun
In that sweet long ago.
Wealth showered no gifts of silver and gold
On that simple wedding day
But the faith and love which could not grow old
We're better far than they
And hearts and hands were brave and true,
And never afraid to toll;
So little by little the homestead grew
From out the sturdy soil.
with added cares came added joys,
Each crowding each along,
And healthy band of girls and boys
Soon filed the home with song.
q, friends, how often, DER and Ger,
Deaths angel trod the land,
And, pausing at some neighbours door,
Still left in peace your band.
But other loves and other homes
Have claimed them, one by one,
Until as the evening twilight comes,
You are left once more alone.
Yet not alone for love once ours
Can never pass away
The fragrance of those earlier hours
Fill all these rooms to-day
Once more the music of youthful glee
Re-echoes in the hall,
And perchance the children whom you see
BY the old sweet names you call.
And matrons fair, with thoughtful brow
And earnest, deep-voced men,
Who call you father and mother now,
Give answer back again.
Gods promises pass not away;
In them you safely rest
And children's children here to-day
Rise up to call you blest
And we cannot forget who ourselves have known
How your hearts have opened wide
To embrace the children not your own,
Their little steps to guide.
You saw Gods vineyards for harvest white,
And the laborers very few,
And the school-house became temple of light
For a noble work and true.
Though years have passed you may not see
The fruit you labored to win,
For we cannot know what the end will be
When we gather the children in.
